25:01-25:15. Does it remind anyone else part of the theme of a most famous Christmas carrol?

@MusicMadArtist If this is epic you should go down to your local music school and see the talent at, say, county level. Does not matter which county, any would do, and you may just begin to understand what real musical genious is. At local school level, yes this guy would sound impressive but jus...

I am shocked ho wignorant and illiterate is the interviewer. I like the part where he says that the Greeks before 1990 did not appreciate Alexander... and that the province was only named as such after that. Funnily enough the province of Macedonia has been named as such long before the Fyromania...

I was going to comment on the page turner, then I ntoed someone already has and i was going to congratulate him on his opinion, then I noticed that someone else was me, a month ago. Well, who is the page turner anyway? A pianist of course but also a swimmer, I venture to say...

@TheDystopiaInside - they are very good too (of course...) but they don't do the first repeat so they are poor value for money, relatively speaking...

@stevw93 Since you were keen on correcting typos do note one plays the piano "very well" not "very good".We obviously differ on whether this guy plays the piano well.I would say that this level of simple arpeggios, diminished chords, glissandos and crude insertions of tritones are the stuff of te...

Thats fair, can't disagree.

Not only is the crap, it is in fact technically very easy, which probably demonstrates the limitations of this guy, EAsy arpegios that most pianists would have no problems sight-reading through, just appears impressive to those who cant appreciate what is going on here. The opening chords are a j...

@grigoreureche1900 I was fortuante to have known Larry Adler in the last years of his life who had told me that of all the pianists he knew (and bear in mind he knew everyone from Rachmaninoff to Elton John) "Art Tatum was the greatest, no one could do what Tatum did"

@guigodoipiano : no, the way he went about it, the piano got out of tune by the end

Oh my god, she discovered what happens when you have a C - Am - F - G7 chord progression. A bit late for 13 years of course. One day she may write indeed her own composition but hopefully she will be soon able to comprehend what that means.

THis is awful; how can they let her expose all her technical deficiencies like that. No excuse for age, the performance was terrible. No control, too fast for her (even though it is an easy piece though not for her age of course) and then towrads the end she goes even faster ("see everybody how s...

is this fast?

@philipthebiolaprof there are quotes from all over Beethoven's works, not jsut 5th Symphony , e.g. (Waldstein sonata at 4:40), i think all are middle period works. Certainly very entertaining.

they are pulling the tempo all over the place for some reason that totally escapes me but still what an incredible performance and what a distinctive sound from Anne-Sophie

@PSNDemonwing look at it this way: Chopin's Mozart's etc music is alive because there are people who listen to the music and appreciate it as music. In what sense would their music be alive if we blow up the planet and,say, the voyager disk has a fatal collision with a flying saucer? How will Moz...

her performance of Erlking is the onyl time that I feel disspointed with lisitsa - and I think i have listened to all of her you tube uploads. The song represents a father riding relentlessly to get home to prevent his son's death. But this horse goes fast-slow-slow-fast; the dynamics should depi...

Fact: Alexander was not a Slav, if anything he was in the periphery of Greece in a state that was Greek in many respects. Modern Fyrom (or Macedonia as it calls itself) has nothing to do with that.

Fact: the modern state of Greec enacted an economic blockade (and then retracted) because FYROM cal...

Schubert communicates to us effectively in the language of music in a way that the French language does not though both Schubert and the French language speak primarily of desperation; the former in terms of representing the desperate in music, the latter, when it tries to take podium on an inter...

I am pretty sure it is Haebler and Hoffman. Its on a Philips label, right?

I was going to suggest to you all that you should also try the version with Eschenbach and Frantz. It was then with pleasure that I saw another contributor below recommend the same, alongside the other great recordings of Gilels and Gilels and Perahia and Lupu. And then I noted that the other was...

The last time I heard this version was once in 1992. I was dumbstruck. Then I forgot about it and went on to buy a number of recordings, including three of my favourites, the one with father and daughter Gilels, Britten and Richter and Perahia and Lupu. All of them great but I always felt I had h...

@thegoddescomposer Bach did not use ANY number symbolism anymore than the Bible and any other sacred texts (or the phone book for that matter) carry any hidden "mathematical" meaning. With enough patience (obviously if you dont have a proper job to keep you occupied) any text, literal or musical,...

I take it from Derek's comment that (a) he got to know Larry Adler very well and (b) met a "not nice person". Perhaps ti would be appropriate to qualify this horrible statement to a dead man who cannot respond. But there may be others who have got to know Larry Alder quite well, perhaps very well...

@ears61 Absolutely -of all civilisation and for a while to come; good luck to any musician who will ever seek to aspire to these hieghts.

There are seven people here who come from another planet, or galaxy for that matter.
