To achieve what ABM does here i assure you is as difficult as what Art Tatum achieved. I love them both dearly. There is this misconception that playing Jazz is more difficult than playing Classical music because improvisation is involved. In many ways it is easier because the idiom is more "free". Try walking on stage and playing like this. It ain't gonna happen. Let's not compare. they both have their difficulties and i am pretty sure a genius like ABM could improvise his ass off. 2 GODS!

@enricoshyster i love art tatum too... but i don't think i would say he was "better" than michelangeli... who was also God on the piano imho... :D to me they are both divine ^.^

@Steinwaytoday He was brilliant, but I think that Art Tatum is the 20th century's greatest pianist. Don't get me wrong, I adore Michelangeli, and I know that they generally play practically opposite music, but Art Tatum is God on the piano. :D

Fantastic imagery--bravo to you too!

@klavierflame if i am not mistaken ever ABM recording of Gaspard is live. AND they are all unsurpassable IMHO. everyone has favorites but they are all astonishing to me.

Send me this; I can get the rotation noises out of it.
