Troops that have been away from home long enough, let alone in combat, loved ANY live entertainment, even if it was a guy playing kazoo with his nose. That said, while Gilels was a stupendously talented pianist, the tempo here is "I-gotta-get-to-the-bathroom!" crazy. I have heard Rachmaninov's early recording of this - it's anything but slow, but it is not near as frenetic as this. "Alla Marcia" does not mean "Quasi Presto".

how old was he during that time? and when was that?
-
very interesting footage indeed!
Gilels' appearance made this propaganda video worth watching lol

Dear Bret6464: I don't really understand how I am talking 'in riddles'. Most of my comments are light hearted and should be treated as such. I am a passionate, classical music enthusiast and I think it's a wonderful, atmospheric clip. Incidentally I have Russian ancestry and it was my grandfather who was piloting the plane who flew over during Gilels performance.

@FILIGREE1 You talk in riddles :-)) This is in the middle of WW2, when I bet American troops would have also liked entertainment by a concert pianist.
Today, I would bet Russian troops would also prefer "Beyonce" or a popular Russian pop singer :-))

No, I actually meant your comment stems from you being an overall idiot. Not your an idiot because you can't spell.

About wrong notes....they happen. Deal With It!
The great Beethoven interpreter Artur Schnabel was famous for butchered passage work, but the sweep. scope, and grandeur of the whole was awesome. He even joked about it himself by saying, "On the ascent of Olympus, what's a botched bar or two?
I'd rather hear a passionate and emotional performance that has some clinkers in it than a clean one that is cold, soulless, and mechanical.

Gilels died in 1985 so he won't be entertaining troops anywhere. But actually, I think 'gboseys' point was that in this day and age it is unlilely that American troops would want to be entertained by a concert pianist (wherever they were). They would prefer 'Beyonce' or 'Britney'.
