Emil GILELS plays CHOPIN Romance

Yes Peter, about the orchestra; it is the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra and the concerto was recorded at the Moscow Conservatoire. Don't be annoyed about the coughing too much, just listen to Mr. Gilels and imagine that you are there, among the people in the audience, in that hall. Especially his live performances were a great experience, so I read.

wow. The orchestral acc is really well directed.Gilel is so heartfelt.never sappy or sentimental .Just the measure of aristocracyand directness Chopin deserves in his slow mov.Every bar is so right . Gilels 's gorgeous sound .this makes me curious about his other rec and live .Wow.I have to keep relistening stylish never glib every note just right!

This recording stirs my soul;;it is so beautiful and beautifully colored.

I also heard many, many versions of this concerto, but to my opinion this is the best I ever heard. Clean, Majestic, soft and with dignity. Just as it should be. But also the orchestra is playing wonderfully. Who are they?

amazing, our life...

by the way, do you by any chance know where i can get a copy of the cd this recording is on??? (if it's on one...) if it is indeed on cd, do you have the title of the album?

thanks.

so exquisite... and i agree with you about the live recordings wholeheartedly.

thanks for sharing such a wonderful live recording with the world of the web. there's never been another like gilels... he's top in my book.

Too much coughing

Why do people always cough at live recordings. Wouldn't you have the decency to not be in the hall if you have a bad cough. I never understood that!
