@Snosbod Wrong. And you say you are a law student. You may want to sue that law school of yours for failing to educate. You haven't learned a fucking thing.

Did you post the 1st and 2nd movements?

What makes a wart hog silly?

@rocksoliddude1 He's chewing the first bite...come on now.

Anyone who has any doubts about Glenn Gould's stupendous technique only need to watch/listen to this performance.

@MrStopthebullshit Of course, you're absolutely right. That's why is sought after worldwide and you write youtube critiques. As they say, those who can....

@Kinjutsuu Indeed, you are correct. Though you have to give Kazuhitu Yamashita credit for taking guitar technique to new levels.

@LestraJo En effet. Mais je crois que M Cziffra voulais tout simplement pousser l'envelope...pour epater la bourgeoisie. :)

@MsGibbone And what makes you think that the quality of the recording isn't responsible for your perceived difference between both those pianists? Or is it simply that you want Berezovsky to play it with more power, so you rationalize this conclusion. Small minds et cetera.

@dalecampbl5 Godowsky was not setting out to outdo or undo Chopin. He took his inspiration from Chopin to take piano technique to a new level. If such pieces offend, then the solution is obvious.

@edgarpujol I couldn't agree more!

@briandonohue100 Not to mention that it is truly remarkable to see Fleisher at his best after so many years crippled by a nerve disorder in his right hand. He is truly a great pianist. I especially love his recording of the Beethoven concerti with Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra. Wow.

@philateliceun Indeed. An those who think that playing fast is mechanical and playing slow is expressive, especially in the music of Liszt and Alkan. WTF?

Ouch...no not the crash, I mean the music.

@niddasa Either that, or constantly get shot by female officers.

The side arm would have been more effective.

What type of aircraft took you to 30000 feet for the jump?

@asdfomfglol Yep. Typical of Americans. Big fat tubs of lard. What a sad society.

Wow. This is an excellent interpretation! Great stuff!!! I'll pick this over the Hough, Beresovsky and Hamlin versions any day.

This is a pretty good version.

@aslkfja I would respectfully disagree. What exactly do you mean by "more expressive"? In any event, I would argue that in order to properly "express" the intent of Alkan, one needs a technique like Hamelin's. Somehow, critics (or the general listener) will equate a slower tempo with being "more ...

@dasenulf Right. Now suppose she gets into an accident and seriously injures someone. Let's see...no registration = no insurance = you are fucked. Judgment against you cannot be dodged by declaring bankruptcy. Good luck.

@masa960115 Litolff's second piano concerto, second movement.

@jonnyslowjo Wow, quite an in-depth musical analysis. Where did you get your training/knowledge in music aesthetics and performance practice?

@anotheronem Indeed!

@RockLobsta23 Thank you. I'm with you on that one. I find it frustrating to no end when people equate virtuosity with lack of feeling and/or being mechanical. Often times, the poetry and emotion of a composition comes out when played at the proper "fast" tempo. Case in point: Marc-Andre Hamelin's...

Brilliant.

Three pianists, in my estimation, are among the greatest living pianists: 1) Boris Berezovski, 2) Stephen Hough and 3) Marc-Andre Hamlin.

Yes, there are others. As Harold Schoenberg (former music critic of the New York Times) wrote, there is plenty of rooms in the castle of pianist...

Hmmm, very interesting

@BreuschPagan Ah....yes the Kocsis version; my favourite in fact! Great recording and I would agree that it is overlooked and underrated.

@Axotrotl Yes of course...those with inferior technique always complain about Hamlin's tempi being "too fast"...oh and don't forget other words many armchair critics love to use, such as "mechanicous", "pationless", "dry", "computer-like", "devoid of pation" etc.. etc... Yaaaaawwwwwn.

@iPanduhhxD I would take it one step further: The irony of it all is that those tree huggers will complain about hunting while enjoying their bacon and eggs in the morning. Then go off to work in their leather shoes and leather coats. What a bunch of fucking hypocrites.

@MegaWallace26 You are correct. This is typical of today's "school projects" where students simply cut and past materials/photos from the internet and a) think they learned valuable information and developed certain skills and b) expect a high grade. WTF.

@humppamonsteri If you are so certain of yourself, perhaps you could provide us with emperical evidence to support your assertions. Then again, don't bother - you are an intellectual lightweight not to be taken seriously as evidenced by your use of sarcasm when disagreeing with and addressing oth...

Wow, this is so realistic. Good job.

Good warm-up for the 5th concerto. :)

Hmmmm. Two dislikes. Oh well, sucks to be those two.

@polymath7 Thanks for your comments. Finally, someone else who understands and appreciates Gould for his genius; much appreciated.
