@predoje hey, personally i love this performance for not the technicality, but the musicality. I'm looking around all of youtube looking for different versions of this etude, and i agree with @fedyukstanislav on the idea that it is not dry and not showing off technique, but it sounds like he is having a good time playing it, and a comfortable performance outstrips a technical performance any day, in my book.
I think one of the most beautiful performances, no showing off with technique, but with a very beautiful tone and very good pedaling!. Not dry like many other performances which makes this etude sounds like a technical study!. Thank you so much.. That's the performances I've been looking for!
@predoje I agree with you. Gilels' live performance of this is on YT, what a difference! :-))

It's true!
But anyone would say that it's the feeling!
It's the reason why there is so much interpretations of one masterpiece!!!

@MajorKermit how about presto can that be measure? Can legao be played and dinamics be respected. He made caricatures from this etude.

@natia56 Depends, because 'best' can only be defined individually.
