Thank you for this great upload!

I have real respect for Baremboim, but I'm not a huge fan of what he does here rhythmically. Also, I'm amazed to see some wrong notes, done very deliberately (and even repeated!). Starting at 1:11, the LH has four A-B clusters. Both times, Baremboim plays the last one two octaves too high. If you look at the score, you see it looks like he just didn't notice the switch back to bass clef in the LH. What he plays is actually harder than what's written! :)

@EdiEllerymissing I must admit that I have only been playing/studying classical for around 1½ year despite I've been playing for much longer. So I might not be as wise in this era as you are.. I used to hate classical because of all the terminology and "rules" But the classical music in it self is much more interesting and developing to play than pop/rock 4/4.. It really opened my eyes for it.

[VSKCREW]

But you obviously failed tremendously of not being "aggressive" its alright. I don't think all the composer were friendly or specifically social minded, but some of them were. and when I mentioned chopin-rubato I did'nt mean anything else than the rubato of chopin? If I understood anything wrong then its another deal.

I think it can be good to be free in interpretation sometimes, so you can have all different inspirations. Like there are different pianists that has different views about music.

[EdiEllerymissing]

You know, sorry about my words of you. You're right, I was being mean.

[EdiEllerymissing]

So I say that if you like him it's fine by me. I trust my teacher because of her background, so I put her wise words as an example to answer your notions about rubato, cause I don't agree with your conception of rubato. You're the one who generalize by saying things like "chopin-rubato" and that the composers I mention were "friendly". I'm trying to be specific about the rubato, the score and interpretation. Sorry if I'm being agresive, that was not my intention.

@EdiEllerymissing Don't excuse what you know, but excuse the way of generalizing and stating things about me which you don't know. And speak from yourself and not from your teachers. why does your communication have to come out in such a negative and hostile way? I never said anything about you? just that I liked Langs version?
