Sorry, but my foolish opinion and preference, I infinitely love this kind playing than today's, when every pianist sound is practically the same. I want to hear Friedman or Paderewesky or Pachman live than Argerich and Pollini and Berezovsky and Bronfman put together. Sorry, wrong English and silly thinking.

@himitsunosallychan not necessarily .I can hear why some may prefer this approach. I can appreciate both ways. nothing foolish at all.
I don't care for the way a brilliant Friedman slammed those concluding octaves but still...
-
Despite the cheap effect of the glissando at the end this is still my favorite recording of this etude.
-
wrong english maybe.... but the truth!!!!
-
A performance of personal rubato and taste; so lacking in the pianists of today...
-
there's no such musical education today, like it was in old days. Very conservative, and dry.
-
@himitsunosallychan I love your opinion; and it's true, today's pianists are poor compared with those like him, and not for the technique, but becuse of its imagination for playing in a original way
-
For me it's the rubato at 0:55. Never heard anyone do anything quite like it; it's simply breathtaking!
What an incredible pianist!
-
And why not a DOUBLE octave glissando at the end? Might as well go whole hog.
This is a rare treat, but Cortot -- who seems to become greater every time I hear him -- outclasses Friedman on this one, I'm afraid.
-
Only a great master like this could dare to take such liberties -- and get away with it.
Such FUN!
I wonder what the arrogant dullards -- like Harold Schoenberg --- who've shaped our attitudes today would say if confronted with such delightful impudence?
BUT, it is inimitable. "If two do the same, it is NOT the same."
No one could TEACH anyone to pay like this -- nor SHOULD they.
