qwertyuiopasdfghjkl;zxcvbnm,. Oh, I apologize. I had to remove the semen from my keyboard.

No one beats MAH for Godowsky and Liszt. I thought his Chopin was uninspired until I heard this. He's getting the hang of it.

Miraculous pianist.

@pianojoseph84 I highly recommend you listen to Arrau's performance. I m not sure though you can find it on youtube.

@ThePaulinoContreras You are not the only one!

Absolutely ravishing interpretation. Such unparalleled beauty sweeps us away into another world --Chopin's world. Amazing nuances. This is why I love the piano!
-
@ThePaulinoContreras Ditto for his Rach, Scriabin and Medtner - as "wanting" as his Chopin.
-
I can't stand his Chopin.
-
I also like the look on his face when he plays. A great musician.
-
@gsprpltv You should hear his recording of Chopin's Sonata No. 2. It is the best recording of the piece i've listened to yet.

cette 4ème Ballade m'a toujours parue longue, et compliquée à suivre... Mais cette interprétation génialissime de Marc-André HAMELIN me touche plus que toutes les autres! Plus qu'une "interprétation", il nous propose ici un vrai parcours humain, avec ses nuances et ses interrogations, et c'est pourquoi j'en fais ma version de référence! Bravissimo!

The Volodos performance of this piece (or perhaps Richter) was my favorite, until I heard this one. Marc-Andre Hamelin is simply amazing. He shows here his great skill in maintaining context and creating intricate textures. One feels swept up in the great story being told-since, after all, the form of a ballade is focused on telling a wonderful tale or 'ballad'.
merci merci merci merci merci!!!
do you have his gaspard de la nuit?

@rvn10rvn17 You're very welcome! :) No, I don't have a recording of it. Rumour has it that bootlegs were made and even a radio station recorded one of his concerts which included Gaspard, but I'm unaware of any broadcasts or specific recordings. Sorry.
