Wonderful post! Thank you for sharing!

@punkpoetry And this is a live performance, different from Kissin.

First play Brahms-Paganini in public without doing any mistakes. Then you can judge. Just playing on a stage deserves the highest respect, and if you are going to play one of the most hard piano pieces that exists... It's very easy to judge from the stalls. I don't even mention the fact that each pianist is an unique world, so any comparison among them has no sense (vox Arthur Rubinstein).

Plent of mistakes. But to hell with them. What a magnificent rendition. A suberb artist!

@kurapicaasakura I think Arrau was not only a great man but also a Genius, an incredible virtuoso and a very "profondo" Pianist. All my admiration for this great Musician. P.S.: his playing of B-P is as outstanding as Katchen rendition.

@dido93 Arrau could, and he did it. Hear variations 13 and 14 played by Arrau
-
@dido93 yes, katchen's is by far the best

Gilels is without doubt my favourite pianist. I know that because he is the only one whose playing can make me cry. Why is that? It certainly has to do with his very great artistry (as opposed to technique), his choice of repertoire, which is central to my musical tastes.
But, I think the extra, deciding factor is that Gilels' absolute integrity before the music, complete lack of ego and very great warmth and humanity set him apart from most other executant artists.
I am forever greatful.

I don't think that playing it technically better than Gilels does here is much of a challenge for any virtuoso: he's clearly in a rather weak form, at 67 and after a heart attack his technique is not what it used to be 20-30 years earlier. musically, however, Kissin doesn't amount to much compared to him, or other masters of this caliber
