  • Speed (you probably mean tempo) is not too high, but the key is higher due to several conversions: old LP -> .wav -> .mp3 -> .wmv -> YT's conversion to .swf

    Nothing misleads listeners here unless one wants to show off his/her absolute pitch, which is not an ultimate sign of musical abilities - Schumann, Tchaikovsky, Wagner had a relative pitch and still "managed" to survive.

    As for you demand to remove this video - I will gladly do so when you upload a better version.

  • Is this a live or studio recording? This or that a great musicians's statement.

  • I am ashamed that I never knew of this master before tonight, but I thank the poster for this and for opening my eyes to genius.

  • All of the recordings by Sofronitsky should be part of the learning curriculm in every conservatoire, a perfect example of pianism played with grace, discretion and personality

  • the greatest interpretation of this piece. I call it chopin's fifth ballade. it has the most poetic coloristic and improvisatory quality. I can't wait until I retire so I can play it every day.

  • Splendid - I have Cortot and Lipatti playing the Barcarolle. I see why Richter and Gilels considered Sofronitsky the greatest...

  • This piece is so beautiful Luke..

  • beautiful sound, poetry, like Dinu lipatti. I love it !Thank's for posting !

  • Thanks truecrypt. This is the recording that made me throw most of my rock music records away.
