  • i love this interpretation and the feeling the pianist puts into it... but he is a little full of himself... (the ring on his finger...l o l )... of course that doesnt mean he is any less of a person, just a character : D

  • Words can't afford expressing emotions

    when listening to this heavenly music.

  • thank you! it doesn't get any better!

  • Everything is amazing, including his ring. The ring is SO 19th century.

    Anyway, I kind of understand why he might have believed this one to be unimaginative, especially if it was long ago. It's possible that musical growth, or greater maturity, helped him find the profound beauty of this piece. Imagine how trite and boring this would be if played by an old plinky music box in rigid meter.

    I like Turek's slow, contemplative embellishments, too. Any opinions on the difference between the two?

  • For two reasons I had to close my eyes:

    1. excellent rendition of this piece of music

    2. humungous ring

  • @fiandrhi :) i agree with you

  • The most wonderful interpretation. Thank you.

  • Браво. Эталон.

  • "it was always considered very boring..." he means by contemporaries

  • I think that Andrej is now the best contemporary pianist in the world. Thanks for the beautiful video showing blue colours ..

  • I don't know what he's saying at the beginning of the clip. Is he saying HE used to consider this prelude (and the fugue, too?) boring and without imagination? Or that ppl in general do. If the latter, I've never heard that.  If the former, what was he thinking?
