  • The use of sustain pedal by Michelangeli was absolutely perfect, legendary, and much of young pianists could take it as a model.

  • Il suo tocco,la musicalitá e la concezione della Musica traspassano i confini limitati del semplice e superficiale ascolto,arrivando a toccare le fibre profonde dell`animo umano,dove nasce,inizia e muore la Musica.

  • I think this is wonderful for the pedaling, but lacks the pathos of Claudio Arau's phrasing and rubato.

  • Semplicimente Michelangeli, l'unico ed eterno

  • @giuseppe76761 Non ti incavolare è tutta invidia. Solo cinque sei pianisti nella storia sono paragonabili a lui! Ma la bellezza del suono pordotto dalle sue mani magiche è IMMORTALE!!!

  • Superb! TY A for posting.

  • I M M E N S O

  • ma cazzoooooooooooooo mondoooooooo vi rendete conto che sembra un arpaaaaaaaa porca paletta michelangeli sei stato e rimarrai il numero uno della raffintezza chiarezza e suono trascendentale

  • me-ra-vi-glio-so

  • Personalmente trovo migliore l'incisione in studio per la Deutsche Grammophon ! In quel disco ci sono sonorità tirate a lucido, con doratura finale, declamato etereo della melodia, ritmica quasi in secondo piano rispetto all'ondeggiare del flusso melodico, e tante altre magie iperboliche ! In questa interpretazione dal vivo, è tutto levigato a dovere, ma anche più fluida la lettura melodica, forse più crepuscolare e intima...

  • It seems to me what is sometimes referred to as "lack of emotion" is that he presents the music, not himself. It is about the music. In an earlier posting here there is a reference to Pogorelich. For a while I had hoped he was going to be THE next great pianist. Sadly for him and us, fate had other plans. And lastly, the comments about the Bach Busoni transcription, I feel the same way. Too bad the sonics of the day, recording technology, were so primitive.

  • @Andre1214 His pedaling is a mystery to me even after years of listening to him. He could conjure the most incredibly ringing, singing, even "wet" tone without it ever bleeding over or being unclear. And you are right, unfortunately pianists like Clang Clang have more views. It's a damn shame.
