Bolet had a deep understanding of the piece. He is trying to make the student CONSCIOUS of the different melodies and ideas that he is playing, not just playing them. If you don't MEAN those notes, you might as well, close the cover of the piano. As for the orchestra, only egotists don't consider the orchestra, then, play it alone!

The orchestra and conductor have as much worth as the soloist, and all must be considerate to all.

Alreich would have benefited from Bolet's real musical sense.

ayazrafak, if you hate this masterclass, have you watched Joao Pires's masterclass (also on youtube? Bolet is an angel compared to that woman... :D She wouldn't let the poor student play one bar before interrupting! Personally, I found her own spontaneous demonstration often quite questionable themselves, but she obviously relish her impromptu demo passages. (i wonder if she does masterclasses for the power...)

Bolet has the mentality of a conductor.

This is a valuable video.

And he knows the piece inside out.

His pointing out the bass line at 5:02 is just one example.

Boy has he absorbed this piece.

Can somebody add more contents to Jorge Bolet in Wikipedia? There must be more to add there; it's still a "stub" for people like me who so admire him.
