@artsloving Have you heard Vladimir Ashkenazy play this nocturne?

Richter non ha mai registrato questo pezzo, per rispetto a Gilels.

Great Gilels!
-
His touch and tone in this performance is out of this world. Almost makes the piano sound like not a mechanical device anymore
-
OH WOW! NO DISLIKE! WOW! WHO DARE THOUGH! THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL! AH!
-
Sublime!!!!
-
Once again I see Gilels as uniquely insightful and capable. This performance is shattering in its depth and utter rightness in every meaningful way.

It's a small piece of such depth and emotional scope that it needs a lot of different approaches. Argerich emphasizes its passion; Moravec its tragic dimension. I'd love to hear Zimerman perform this piece, because I think he's the next pearl on the string of great pianistic lyricists who are in the Gilels tradition and have a similar order of natural gifts. Imagine having heard Liszt perform this thing; it must have been a life-changing experience...

@1110011000 Exactly! I have reached the point currently that after 3 Minutes I start to miss the "Genius-Gilels-Factor" with any other pianist (except my wife :-)).
