[Scherzo567]

Gilels takes a slower tempo than we usually see in this movement, but there is more poetry and expression put into work. There's always so much argument about which pianist is "better", but its important to remember that classical music is all about interpretation--an interpretation by any good musician is never "bad", it's just different. If the performance is not to your liking, just accept instead of insult.

why don't you turn up the volume? If you do that, his golden tone is IMMEDIATELY obvious.

@musiccritic1910 I agree that art is a feeling of the measure, where it is mostly pragmatic and innate feelings. Therefore, it is easy to see that different people arrive to different conclusion and different personal tastes are derived. Therefore its unwise and even unnecessary to personal attack a world renowned pianist. And by no means she's a half literate and amateur piano player.

@musiccritic1910 Ur use of a logic doctor as the example to convince is really interesting. The fact that they have studied many scenarios, case studies, and research have convinced me that they are able to treat the diseases they cure. They also show this by giving constructive, elaborated and specific instructions in how you can improve from ur illness. However, based on ur comment alone, without other factors, u have given neither constructive nor specific comments but personal attacks.

@Desmonddd2002 Also, you don't have to be pianist to judge the pianists....following your logic doctors would never could assess and treat the diseases since they have never had all of the diseases they cure for. All you have to have is taste and feeling of music based on cultural development. That is all...but, frankly, it is innate not learned.

@Desmonddd2002 Excuse me, did I say that my opinion is based on the gender of the pianists? Don't make assumptions on non credible premises, dear. As far as Agerig, I can hear that her tempo is vulgar and inappropriate as if she i splaying jazz in the bar but not Schumann. Art is the feeling of the measure. She evidently lacks one.

[Desmonddd2002]

@musiccritic1910 yeah wen I listen to it now (note that the comment is posted 2 years ago) i prefer this version too. However, Agerich was a really really brilliant piano player. almost certainly better then you. so stop being so sexist and disrespectful.

[musiccritic1910]

@Desmonddd2002 How DARE you....I ask how DARE you to mention the name of that half literate, amateur, houswife right next to a genius? Are you out of your mind?

[rrickarr]

This might be "slower" but oh, the poetry in this. (Serkin plays this faster than a bat out of hell and it has its merits). But her Gilels is right in this piece. Watch how he grooves at the end (7.00)--wow, he is really jiving with this. The great thing about music and artists is that there can be many different intepretations!

Love how he has the time to rake his hair back at 4:35. Class
