Kempf is one of Russia's favorite pianists for over a decade now.. (And he's married to a Russian woman :-)I've met him at several concerts in Moscow. The Russian audience is blown away each time. One time, he had to come out 4 times to play encore!

Very true. Neither I don't hear the left hand's melody and I don't consider myself deaf.

[monobrow638]

With lots of Etudes, they really develop the right hand's technique, but the left hand is what shapes this as a piece in its own right. Without the delicate but present balance of the right hand slightly less projected than the left hand, it seems to loose a little bit of the line for me. Having said that however, technically brilliant!

Me gusta lo que hizo con los ultimos cuatro acordes. Aunque parezca algo sencillo eso se puede hacer de muchas maneras y creo que el ha hallado una muy buena.

I like the final chords, a fine ending

[bontempo01]

Left hand never comes out. Looks and sounds like Kempf was too busy making sure he played all the notes on the right hand to care for the true melody. A disappointment.

[lovesGenet]

Crazy comments. Left hand is melody and short accents not cantabile at all. right hand must be clear and smooth as Czerny but not leggierissimo. those who know say nothing so true at youtube. Most young pianists will play this etude. In many of the etudes melody is given to bass while right hand has a problem to figure out. Kempf 's solutions r so musical so right for Chopin style !

[Nocturne2000]

I notice Chopin uses this technique in a lot of his pieces, such as black keys.

Ho ascoltato questo pianista dal vivo. Una delusione totale.Il suono di questo Kempf (che nenache lontanamente sogna di somigliare al suo ononimo predecessore) è corto e debole. Spesso con degli scatti inaspettati della sinistra che vuole farsi sentire in momenti poco opportuni. Questo video conferma la mia opinione. Pessima esecuzione, mancano morbidezza e fraseggio nella mano sinistra, manca la fluidità nella destra ma non mancano le botte improvvise (da 1'10" a 1'18").

[AntipovSvyatoslav]

Really good performance of this difficult etude. Thank you for your upload!

@heyyy19 Oh,no doubts -Horowitz is one the best,especially,early recording...There is a nice record of Backhaus,from the whole set,and I think,also,Bleschac (not sure how does it spell)ones,from the competition...
