Youri Egorov Chopin Nocturne

Youri Egorov Chopin Nocturne in D flat Major, Op. 27, No. 2
(Note: I wouldn't deny that there are many master pianists. But Youri Egorov remains my favorite - of all time. That's why I learned how to upload videos onto Youtube.)

Regarding what was said below: I've checked. It is always the exaggerated and partial facts of what actually happened that got spread around.

istobita! only today i have found the music by Youri on Youtube. after 33 years i see his pictures and listen to his angelic music! i can still visualize him back in the early 70th in our school, talking to him, listining to his concerts when he was a student like myself. what a memories. huge thanks!

[istobita]

Was he always so...angelic? He was long gone by the time I came across his music. And I really wished I could have known him, as a person, while he was alive...

One day a long time ago I went all by myself just to a piano concert by a unknown pianist in Utrecht. A young man took stage and started to play. My jaw dropped, everything around me disappeared, and I was convinced he played for only me. I had never heard such a pianist, and I have never heard one like him ever since. What a loss of such a young pianist. Thank you for posting.

It seems that we all encountered Youri Egorov's performance by accident, and could never get him out of our heart since.

One of the most transcendent artists of the late 20th century, egorov was a burning hope in the field of cookie cutter pianists that the interest in the great keyboard works would continue unabated through the forthcoming centuries. Long live his legacy.

The sound from his fingertips bring tears to my eyes. Such sober awareness of longing...I will attempt to upload a higher def. version of this.

In fact it is complete nonsense what you write about Jan. Please wait for the translation of the book Jan Brokken wrote about Egorov. Translated from Dutch it's called In the House of the Poet. A fascinating book, honest, sincere and intelligent!!

And then there was that messy business with his lover, Jan Brower, who shortly after Yuri's death from AIDS, killed himself rather messily, but not before sending farewell postcards to everyone they had ever known. Ah, \bot for those magical days of their white townhouse on the Browersgraacht., with its neon lighting and four floors full of cold, sparse, gray office furniture, which was colored only by \his practicing the Prokofiev 8th ad infinitum and Mozart concertos. ..

What a pity that, in the last years, when he gathered round himself, like dark clouds, an unsavory crowd, and became addicted to hashish and cocaine, his agent, Max Gershonoff, and his record company abandoned him, just when he needed help --an intervention, really -- the most. Who could ever forget his recital in Neimegen (?) where he was so stoned he dashed through the Schumann Carnaval in 20 minutes without dropping a note?

we all admired him! he was with a touch of exceptional personality and he was.
