A counterpart to Horowitz' wonderful interpretation ;-)

  • Go ahead and say you prefer Horowitz. But you MUST understand that Gilels is also one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century, and that 99.99% of people on youtube, myself included, cannot fully appreciate what he is doing with his playing.

    That said I prefer Horowitz, I'm just saying my opinion isn't worth much.

  • @elevenwhy To anyone who knows a few things about classical music Gilels IS one of the greatest pianists of the 20th Century.

    Still, I also prefer Horowitz over Gilels in interpreting Scriabin's Etude :):)

    There is nothing to debate here - both Horowitz and Gilels were in the club of geniuses in the 20th Century.

  • There is room for both ! This is also a brilliant, passionate interpretation.

  • Horowitz is amazing, but I like Gilels' interpretation more than Horowitz'. Gilels hits a soft spot in my heart when playing this, that I don't get from hearing Horowitz'. This is a true piece of art , and those 4 who dislikes don't know what they're disliking!

  • @Bolkonskya I'm sorry now to wrote this about Horowitz, I don't feel always like this. He is really great pianist. But some part from him I like and another not. I can just listen to all of them great maestros.

  • @elicandondo but I really don't like listen or look horowitz, I feel like no soul in his music,sorry I feel like that

  • @utubuser10 yes on TV, a live performance last year in Switzerland.

    She is fantastic, young or not.

  • its so beautiful song, made by Scriabin to his friend who died. I learned the song but still to get to inside of the song, it takes time. Gilels seems to have managed to do that.

  • @iansquared3 THE DEVIL!!!!1!!1 AHHHH

  • @cembalobill Envy defines what I feel having just read your comment :-)) That would have been an incredible once in a lifetime priviledge for me to see Gilels, or Horowitz, live :-))
