Alexander Gavrylyuk plays Étude in C-sharp minor, Op. 25, no. 7 (Chopin)
From: VAI DVD 4357
Alexander GavrylyukLive in Recital at the Miami International Piano Festival
In May, 2005, a 20-year-old pianist walked away with the Gold Medal in the Arthur Rubinstein Piano Competition held in Israel. The pianist was Alexander Gavrylyuk, who overwhelmed the jurists with his phenomenal technique and artistic maturity. Shortly thereafter he was videotaped in a wide-ranging, critically acclaimed recital at the Miami International Piano Festival where he had made his American debut two years earlier. The resultant DVD release is a spectacular memento of that extraordinary occasion. Works by Haydn, Brahms, Chopin, Prokofiev and Mendelssohn-Horowitz.
135 minutes, Stereo, Color

I don't understand why someone rated this performance so poor. Not only a virtuoso, Gavrylyuk is a colorist.

[jdw6657]

Gavriluck is a master pianist and this is truly one exceptional performance of this Etude.

[fisarmonicista]

@Trystaticus Mine too :D

[Trystaticus]

My favorite of his etudes : )

[melagads]

this piece is boring in my opinion

[josegiraldi]

Yes, pianist is full brilhant and perfect, record have good quality but piano is problem. It dont have longevit sound and voice. Too oposite Horowitz piano.

[MATTDUNCAN1]

this is a brilliant, pure and quite frankly divine performance..he is totally there with the music..and so wonderful not to be distracted by the ridiculous theatrics of some other pianists who have become fashionable of late

[BENandJUSTICE]

Tell us, oh great piano professor and communist party apologist, what do you think of Stanley Ho of Hong Kong? Do tell, if you dare to go on record about it. Lets see how many expletives you can use in this case. Trust me, they'll get back to him and his people. Have a nice day.

[Pischnaholic]

Not as good as this, however. This is PERFECTION -- and I NEVER say that.

[WayneYLeigh]

I'm Chinese, and I do think that Lang Lang is hype. There are many Chinese (and non-Chinese) pianists who possess more musical depth than him, even if they do not possess his virtuosity. I found his playing quality deplorably lacking in emotional insights. He's only good for showpieces such as Islamey.

[WayneYLeigh]

I would have liked a little more rubato. Its an excellent performance nonetheless. Chopin took the theme from the opening of Act 2 of Norma, his favourite opera, composed by idol, Bellini, who had died aged 34 a couple of years before the publication of this etude. I suspect he was mourning Bellini's death. It should be as brooding as possible. Some famous pianist last century mentioned that you've got to listen to Maria Callas sing Bellini to play Chopin properly. I think its true.

I'd rather be a small-minded bigot than a videogame obsessed geek who lives with his mother at age 30. By the way, can't you get laid? Is shooting people in virtual reality the only way you can get your rocks off, you fucking faggot?
