Watch this BBC 1959 recital and compare Cziffra's deportment at the piano with that of his playing of the same piece on French TV (also on you tube) in 1963.He should not have changed his personality from that of a classical maestro to a wild, romantic, almost gothic figure.His playing was his ge...

@Niodo yes ,in his later career in Paris he played all four of the concertos at concerts but there are very few good quality recordings of these. If you want to look on You Tube you should find him playing the 2nd Rach concerto with the Hungarian TV and radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by his ...

After his performance of the first piano concerto at that year's proms (especially the cadenza) Paul Lewis was always going to find the second more difficult to show off his pianism, and so it proved. But all in all the performance, for a live prom, is very satisfactory and good fun - as it was m...

Tnx Mrdavidcairns. life was great . My mother,Billie Houston, was a constant source of punblic embarrasment it was positively cringe- making having her open school fetes and do prize givings etc. But I spent my life in dressing rooms and fleet street offices before following my father in a s...

yes, they were sisters. Billie, my mother, was very definitely not a lesbian as suggested below. she had three children and died in 1972 aged 66. Auntie Renee lived to 78 when she died of an alcohol induced stroke. I was brought up in West End dressing rooms and Fleet street news offices, my fat...

the definitive recording of this Berlioz's greatest work : the sanctus in particular with the purity of diction and clarity of Peter Schreier's beautiful lyric tenor voice truly makes this in every sense a piece of music to die for.

faut le dire, ce concerto est le chef d'oeuvre de Saint Saens. Cassadesus le joue tres bien mais on doit ecouter l'enregistrement de stephen Hough avec le CBSO (Hyperion 2001) sous le baton d'Oramo pour apprecier la merveilleuse finale en temps de valse. Je me demande si ce concerto n'est pas...

tnx for downloading these four proms. shouldn't think they'll stay up long lol :)

Gilels a joue ce mouvement nettement plus lente que normale et en consequence il nous permet d'apprecier les emotions profondes que saint saens a cache dans la musique. c'est sans disputation le meilleur interpretation d'un scherzo que j'ai jammais ecoute et en plus on doit dire merci a kondras...

Any even vaguely intelligent person would prefer to have the editorial board of the Sentinel running the USA rather than Cain. The journalists at least seemed to understand the issues that were being discussed. Cain understood nothing. Ici en France nous pouvons terminer le pouvoir de Zarkozy e...

meme glen gould ne pouvait pas jouer cet oeuvre car il manquait le calme et le pianisme de michelangeli.

I first heard this recording on an LP when working saigon in 1969. Both galuppi's beautiful melody and michelangeli's perfect playing made the horrors of war an awful lot easier to bear. still,to this day, i rate this the most perfect piece baroque keyboard musiqe ever composed and certainly the ...

ce sonate de galuppi est sans aucun question le meilleur ouevre baroque jammais compose pour le clavesin.en plus cet interpretation de Michelangeli sur un pianoforte est pour moi la musique de dieu. meme si galuppi n'avait pas composer encore une seul piece cet oeuvre merite pour lui son place pa...

La meilleur interpretation de ce concerto que j'ai jammais ecoute.

a mon avis Michelangeli etait une des cinq meilleurs pianistes du vingtieme ciecle et le seul qui pouvait jouer aussi bien les grands oeuvres baroques,romantiques,fin de ciecle et modernes. De trouver un tel interpretation que ceci est vraiment une surprise magnifique. merci.

dommage que sa fille nouvelle ne peut pas porter cette nomme :)

sans aucune doute le meilleur chansonnier de tous les temps, malgre qui'l etait Belge!

@moiAntonin oops: GalUppi

Je suis etonne de trouver un tel video avec un tonalite si claire et deux maestros (pianiste et dirigent) d'un si haute niveau .Cette performance ete enregistre en 1962 et je l'ai vu en France (directe de l'Autriche par tele). Merci M.Haydn pour votre "uploading". (Je vous prie de me pardonner ...
