So there's this big masculine guy screamin like a girl and he is soooooo serious about it.

Oh my, that Cadenza is unreal, Horowitz becomes otherworldly for this performance.

Sorry naysayers, this playing is straight up BadAss for anyone at any age, Here's a man in his 80's pulling this off, anybody who's knows anything about the difficulty of this piece and speed at which he plays and the interesting unique and gorgeous COURAGEOUS interpretation and relative accurac...

THe only way they know how to resolve the conflict over who's the best actor in the arab world... PUNCH HIM IN THE HEAD... duh, this isn't even funny, it's F'ing SAD

@unholycrap and Fuck you!! LOL jerk!

I love how clean his playing is during the repeated chord section at the beginning during the repeat of the main theme, you don't hear that often.. totally inspiring!!

Ok wierdo,

I've seen Mariah really suck it up live before when her voice is hammered, I've also seen her really send it up to the angels. These examples are really more of poor mic usage holding it too far where they digitally amplified it because she had the mic too far, only in RARE cases ar...

Kryistian Zimerman is really as good as it gets for lyrical interpretation and technical mastery, There are a couple in his league, but I consider him among the top, consistently excellent, striving for perfection, and landing only the slightest distance apart in the perfect space of being human ...

I'm not sure this isn't tough technically, I watched a very solid pianist struggle with passages in this piece over and over. He played Gaspard De La Nuit quite well and Rachmaninov's 2nd concerto. I think the Fantasy definitely has some technical challenges. And most certainly the musical ones...

Agreed, Artistically Martha Argerich uses more expressive dynamics has more elegant phrasing and takes a faster tempo adding to the urgency so branded into this piece of music, Music certainly isn't a sport, but when we're talking about a comparitive posting, the element of competition is unavoid...

When you've got thousands of artists interpreting a composers work over many generations simply playing it true to the score accurately up to speed with a unique interpretation may not be enough.. Argerich isn't ever satisfied following a pathway.. She so often strikes out into the unknown and le...

Best performance of this piece ever .. the beginning is so beautiful, but mastery of this prelude is including all of it together where in the middle section you feel pummelled taken away and then returned to the sublime ... Martha succeeds

I love the way she carries the descending line through while still bringing out the bass melodies, the speed of execution and lines are all aimed at heightening the emotion .. it's what she's constantly striving to acheive it's what makes her an artists and one of the truly great pianists of our ...

@ebyuen If you truly think Rubensteins technique is better, Listen to Zimerman play Brahms 2nd piano concerto live .. I haven't anything from Rubenstein that matches that level of technical brilliance and control. If you have something that does, please feel free to share it with me

you guys are crazy, the slight errors in the wickedly difficult section are far less than even someone like Rubenstein makes, listen to his recording. Pointing out the few flaws in the pianists playing is short sighted and small minded. Take Martha Argerich for example, widely regarded as one o...

@MrWilliamJunior screw you dude, you wish you had the tiniest sliver of her talent persona or brilliance,

One of the greatest living pianists, it's a live recording, all it's greatness and whatever else,

What fucking idiot is blowing a WHISTLE during her performance!!!!!!!!!

Outstanding! It's the interpretation and the phrasing, passionate!

It was a really solid performance,

if you want feedback I think there's a lack of dynamic contrast within the chords themselves, more of a voicing contrast.. it will sound less overly chordy in the repeated chord section I hear the ba da da da of the repeated chords over the melody, but again, l...

Martha Argerich and Krystian Zimerman are my favorites .. Martha does things that no one else does and she is so emotionally powerful in her playing, a genius of music and a heart of artistry,

Although I'm very impressed with his playing I don't think it's the best out there. He really is in the zone Yund Li is playing from his heart which alone is so admirable.

Check out Argerich and Zimerman playing the same concerto especially Argerich's live recording. But instead of being comp...

@bronzeantique Yes I was taught a very specific way to practice this piece .. it's a bear

Take this piece of S*&% video DOWN!!!!

One of the most sensitive thoughtful performances I've ever heard of this piece,

wonderfully done,

He's really fantastic, this is so much about the interpretations .. I preferred his development section over Julianna's but her themes were played with more sensitivity

does one glaring missed note or a few minor mistakes ruin an otherwise exquisite performance? I think not, and fortunately neither did the judges of one of the biggest and most observed piano competitions in the world. I prefer a faster tempo on this piece, especially during the development. ...
