Brahms - Ballade op. 10 n° 3

[bzagar1]

@ 2:00----relaxing.

[Schubermann]

That's of course not the best of all he could have played, but those who have known him would understand what is far over that precise moment...

On that tuesday, I was in the hall of the Ecole Normale where I was a pupil. I was supposed to meet him, but a few words on a sheet of paper told me he wouldn't come any more... So sad...

But he gave so much to his pupils that they will remember and play as an "hommage" to that wonderful musician!

Thanks for having posted that video!

[Annananas]

He is excellent,but tje expression on his face is scary XD

[somedudeplayingpiano]

he is very good

[aurorebaal]

UN MERVEILLEUX PROFESSEUR!

je l'appréciais beaucoup, c'était un grand pianiste et humainement quelqu'un de très bon et généreux.

[rlemaitre]

A great artist! I took classes with him in Rio de Janeiro! We will miss him! Great man! Great pianist!

I'm sorry to report that unfortunately Edson has passed away. He was my cousin and had been living in France for the longest time, Edson is originally Brazilian. Thank you all for the kind words in relation to his spectacular performances.

[shusevn]

He was a great teacher and wonderful pianist,

I think his music means something to remember.

Adieu,my dear teacher.

[Annananas]

I adore the way he plays it :D

[rodrigorhods]

[lovesGenet]

[fjgarrid]

although, i prefer claudio arrau's brahms

[MUZIKA1000]

I agree with Annananas: So beautiful!!!!!

[Annananas]

Waaw...so beautiful...

[suzettegm]

could listen to this 4 ever...

[sagalat]

I, too, mistook: Meant to refer to Brahms 118/2 Intermezzo of Pogo...an Epiphany

[sagalat]

Ivo Pogorelich. You should hear his Brahms 188/2, et ceterae. It repays the effort

[Musiklieber1]

I have a French friend who just came from Nancy festival where it seems this pianist has played at 1 a.m. (due to a huge delay on the concerts) the most beautiful Scarlatti he heard in his life, as well as the best Mazurka op 17 n. 4 from Chopin, among other works. Another friend, a Korean pianist told me also that this pianist has played a Grieg concerto with a Korean orchestra last April and people there are still talking about the magic sound they listened.

[Musiklieber1]

I regret that this video has been made with the microphones placed inside the piano. It's a pity because the interpretation is excellent. I heard by a student of M. Elias in Geneva conservatory that he had played a outstanding Dvorak concerto with orchestra. If someone have this video please let me know.

If I had known I would have taken a short holiday. Holland, such easy logistics, amazing pianist AND alive and kicking and in the neighbourhood...I'll pay attention from now on.

[jomi0802]

Haha I was kidding..., referring to the "Brahms"part of your comment. Listened 2 Pogo/Brahms (1162/2) here at Youtube yesterday and I heard something vaguely reminding me of Brahms and kindergarten at the same time...

[jomi0802]

sorry,enlarging Brahms'work hugely here, typing mistake, I meant 76/2

[sagalat]

I, too, never heard of him, but will look him up right now. 100% professional, perfect. Really compares favourably with Pogo/Brahms

[jomi0802]

Pogo/who??

[konstantinno1]

OK..

[jomi0802]

indeed, LOVE it

[jomi0802]

Love this, how can I thank you?

[markmegaman]

Such magnificent Brahms--love his big bear hands!

[Musiklieber1]

I agree with you. Perhaps his thick fingers cause the "qualche nota falsa di troppo". But a real Brahms sound, as you say.

[enantiodrom]

Grandi mani, dita grosse, suono brahmsiano e corpulento, qualche nota falsa di troppo. il 5° dito della destra va un po' dove vuole. Bravo

[hisoshitanaka]

Amazing how this pianist masters so naturally such different styles (Chopin, Brahms, Prokofiev).

[jstevensenwien]

Really an amazing musician. I have never heard about him before.

[tcroche]

colourful and beautiful interpretation

[heinzSTROSSER]

Une interprétation de reference de cette pièce,sans aucun doute. Magnifique!

[Musiklieber1]

Phantastisch!
