who is this pianist?

[cgordonjr]

It seems to be Nikolai Torakev, a young russian pianist.

[concerto35]

This is a very moving piece. It is full of despair and almost morbid dejection but also hauntingly beautiful. The pianist brings out the sublime and the profound sorrow of this work.

Tchaikovsky's the real genius here

one word describes his performance perfectly: perfect! ;-)

beautiful yet heartrending :(

[1812Beethovens9th]

@ballet7up77 Oh i recognize it. But I like the extra passion and not-following-the-exact-tempo stuff. It adds to the passion and makes the piece come to life. :)

[1812Beethovens9th]

@Velvetspoonful never said he wasn't. And yes, it was his sister who died. He was on his way to America when he read the news of it in a newspaper...real sad. But I like the extra passion and not-following-the-exact-tempo stuff. It adds to the passion and makes the piece come to life. :)

@1812Beethovens9th I think Tchaikovsky originally wrote this pece for a dying relative...This pianist is obviously aiming for the uttermort respect behind tchaikovsky's own passion...

@Paulo78180 horowitz and rubinstein yes, both are great pianists, specially the latter, but the other 2 i dont know, is there in youtube anything from them that you find particularly good? if you could show me it would be much appreciated

[Paulo78180]

@uhgvitybvouv Have you ever heard Rubinstein, Pollini, Argerich or Horowitz ?
