  • Staggering, the incomparable Gilels, such electricity. How can any modern day pianist compare with such virtuosity and utter, utter conviction. The so clled modern Russian greats such as Sokolov and worse Kissin will never be remembered in the same vein as Gilels, Richter, Sofronitsky.

  • Your observations about Gilels and the greats are very true but then, I still glad that I happened to live in the same age as Sokolov :p

  • WHAT A GREAT PIANIST!!!

    WHAT A GREAT PERFORMANCE!!!

    but the time of the great and REAL pianists and - artists seems to be over; today one can hear on stage, for example, the childish china-circus-boy lang or the average and completely musical tastless franch-girl grimaud...all of them are only the plastic products (and NOTHING MORE!)of our time and the boring and superficial music industry...

    what a shame!

    i want the real art back!

  • This is terrible. Looks and sounds as though Gilels and Metha are miles apart. Look for the old Gilels/Reiner recording. That one is simply awe-inspiring.

  • For the audience to be impatient and just go wild seconds before the music ends just show how awesome that performance was.

  • this is too rushed--its sounds like the whole movement were turned from '45' to 78 on a turn table.

  • @analxixen you speak as if Gilels is not a modern performer...

  • ♥♥♥Gilels, I love this guy!!! ♥♥♥

  • @mc0558 Because few others dared to make this piece exciting...that's why.

  • @analxixen different school, and just different perception of music. . . nobody will ever be able to replicate these artists, you are right.

  • @mc0558 do you know that you're talking to emil gilels and zubin mehta? come on, post a video of you doing better. may be they play in a hurry for you, but that still doesn't change their perception of the piece

  • @mc0558 do you know that you're talking to emil gilels and zubin mehta? come on, post a video of you doing better

  • WHY THE RUSH!

    A great pianist and a mediocre conductor have rubbished this piece. I am sorry that Gillel accepted this interpretation.

    It's terrible!
