  • Well, there's the Grand Canyon, Michelangelo's Last Judgement, and Gillels playing Beethoven!

  • I like Gilels an awful lot on certain pieces...unfortunately, this is not one of them. It really sounds rushed to me...technically, he can do it, no question about it. I like this one lighter and more playful. I have to amdit though, Gilels is an amazing pianist.

  • @HoboSuperstar if Gilels puts a strike through "Allegro" and inserts "Epica Estremamente Dannati", you sit down, shut up, and like it!!!

  • This guy is truly a master of his instrument, precise but not mechanical. Emotional but not sloppy. Incredible.

  • Does this guy know the tempo marking is Allegro?

  • beethoven would have loved jazz

  • Gilels has a habit of playing everything too seriously.

    But God does he play everything well.

  • Only pianist who comes close to Gulda's caliber when playing Beethoven.

  • beethoven - "in soviet russia piano plays player" Giels - "dont worry ludwig i wont let you down i promise" 7*'s out of 5*'s!

  • Unbelievabe!!!!!!! He plays Beethoven like a tiger, and sometimes like a mum with her youngest child. Beethoven is his nature.

  • All together, it is an amazing performance, but I would say that it is played way too fast, unlike Michilangi's. I wish I could play like you!

  • I can't hear Beethoven for Russia.
