  • My favorite recording of the totentanz. Proof that Zimerman has no living equal

  • Agreed with everyone... This 'Totentanz' is really impressive, probably the best recorded yet.

  • @KhagarBalugrak I disagree... Have you listened to Zimerman's interpretation of the Chopin concerti with the Polish Festival Orchestra? Incredible! Makes one lose sense that they're listening to a piano!

  • @flicfan416, for this piece that's certainly true. His technical ability is hundreds of times better than anyone else's. He can do absolutely anything. But for slow, lyrical passages that don't demand so much technique, there are much better pianists than Zimerman. Pianists like Murray Perahia, Richard Goode, and Nimrod Pfeffer can milk a piece for its beauty in a way that Zimerman cannot.

  • Probably best. In comparison to Brendel there is more dramatic and better technique of course - Zimerman is unique here. Ormandy may be a better conductor than Ozawa. But here Ozawa (as a Bernstein pupil) just does a fine job.

  • no, there is only one Dionysos in musica version of this piece... Cziffra is his name!

  • 31123 views?! And Lady Gaga getting gazzilions view?! There is something wrong in this world...

  • Gram fortepianowe dos'c' dobre, ale podczas rozpoznawania i obejrzec' Zimerman gry na fortepianie, I nagle sie nikt nie.

  • Das beste sind die liebenswerten Gestalten, tot zwar aber ich nehme es ihnen nicht übel :D

  • Total verschärft!!!! Schockierend schön! Ein ganzes Gruselbuch voller Gestalten- jede völlig anders... erwacht zum Leben... das ist phantastisch... so phantasievoll... eine andere Sphäre im Paralleluniversum jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa freue mich schon drauf

  • @AJHyoton yeah, you don't know what you're saying

  • This is a huge disappointment with horrible pacing. Zimerman has always been foremost with Liszt, but in comparison to the Brailowsky/Ormandy recording this is overly experimental and just fails. So the Patriots beat the Eagles in the Super Bowl, but when it comes to orchestras, Philadelphia wins HANDS DOWN and fingers actually playing the notes. Listen to Brailowsky, then begrudgingly agree, or enthusiastically.
