  • i dont care about his hair. i dont even watch the video. i just listen to.... Prokofiev. this piece makes me CRY, damn, cause it has some romantic colors combined with disonance. all together makes is sound so tragic, so close to ur soul.

    Priceless

  • NICEEE HE HAS A RECORDING OF THIS!

  • when and where was this recorded?

  • @carlosr86

    I think long hair suited him the best, especially how he wore it some years later, tied together in a ponytail....

  • What a great pianist he was!! Great intensity!! But, speaking of something completely unrelated... he looks terrible with the hair soooo long!!!! TERRIBLE!!!!

  • This cadenza is impossible! 

  • The first movement cadenza is hard, but nothing like the second movement, a scherzo which is "no joke'. The cadenza in the fourth mvt. is no laughing matter either. Compare what is comparable. Piano writing of Prok and Rach are so vastly different. Both are extremely athletic and pianistic. Rach needs sweep and speed with great clarity, Prok needs more percussive brute force behind every finger, martellato. I love playing both of them.

  • @massimiliano123123 I totally agree with you, but in my opinion, Rach 3's difficulties do not only lie in the cadenza. It's just a mix of different elements that comes together here. For instance, 1st mvt., the big climax shortly before the cadenza is not very difficult in terms of technique, but it is insane what you can do in terms of voicing here (just one example out of hundreds... :D)

  • @massimiliano123123 3:..difficile perché la scrittura è estremamente pianistica e tutto sommato piuttosto naturale per la mano anche se portata spesso alle estreme consequenze,invece poi studiandolo sul serio ci si rende conto che nonostante sia scritto molto bene per il pianoforte e per la mano(cosa non sempre riscontrabile in Prok),proprio questo estremismo unito alla lunghezza e alla grandissima fatica,lo rendono spaventosamente difficile.P.S. Totentanz?per me molto più facile di quanto pare.
