  • still awesome awesome awesome!

  • Nearly snapped my hand attempting Variation 5-6 at speed, let alone the rest of the piece.

    But I agree, this is within the reach of many professional and quasi-professional players, I think. Musically, it's also straightforward for the most part. Of course, a well-executed interpretation is another thing altogether...

  • Compares very favourably to that of both Smith and Lewenthal: However I find the performance of Michael Ponti the best.

  • In the context of this wonderfully overdone piece I had to laugh at the comment offered "for all intensive purposes." For all intents and purposes that mis-quoted expression might even be appropriate here.

  • do you notice there is no dislikes here

    i think Because all people reach this video know what they want

  • @thunder1909 they could play......HORRENDOUSLY. I know of a handful of conservatory students and i doubt they could give convincing performances of this. It takes a student of unswerving dediactaion, passion for the score and a fascination with Akan's quite unique soundworld and life to conjure up a performance even as 25% successful as the miracles of sound re-created here.

  • inquietante, aceleró mis pulsaciones. Algo me pregunta, algo muerde, algo que ya estaba aquí pero que aún no había escuchado

  • this guy is bold!!!

  • For sure his tecnique is one of the best well formed ever

  • Well said!!!
