  • Notice the distinct absence of facial contortions - he wasn't playing for 'show'. No extraneous movements - there's enough to keep him busy just playing the piece. And what playing! Bravo!

  • This is, without question, one of the finest archive performances of piano playing in existance. Surely still one of the most underrated of all pianists. I've never heard a dull performance by him and I have most of his recordings. Stupendous. Many modern pianists should watch this and would maybe curb their excessive movements as a result!

  • one of the greatest most elegant and patrician of painists.  This is an example of miraculous playing. Everything he plays has a beautiful tonal sheen, great technique, color. taste and intelligence, Listen to his Schumann and Brahms..

  • allways such assured playing.

  • He is a god of the piano!

  • True Leschitizky!

  • A thrilling pianism!!!

    Thanks a lot for the post, much appreciated!

  • This is amazing.

  • Played and performed like a true gentleman. "Good night, and Bonsoir."

  • The voicing is exemplary, communicating all the dynamics of the orchestral - as well as sung (this is after all the same as the Pilgrims' Chorus). Bravo.
