He's good, but he playing it way too fast. Man, that guy has a big hand! He reaches the minor tenth in the left hand with no problem!

too fast!

[magnushagmann]

@marthinandres As I hear it, Gershwin doesn't even swing it in the second part, and definitely not in the first!

[marthinandres]

@magnushagmann yeah, you're right, but this is another way of playing it, although it's classical music, gerschwin wanted swing, as you can hear on his own record...

[spamlove]

He plays it just a tad faster than Gershwin does (find that recording elsewhere on youtube).

[magnushagmann]

Far too fast. And he should stop swinging the first part. I'm sorry, but too many interpretations lay too much weight on tricks and effects, and pay less attention to the atmosphere and feelings that classical music can make.

I think he's great. I prefer his choices 99,9% of the time.

[borzix]

Exactly. I would appreciate it if he repeated the whole piece (da capo), but this time in accordance with the true function of a lullaby, and really as slowly as needed for making a child fall asleep. That would be a great contrast. At first, a virtuoso pianist who can see no reason to hide how great he is. But for the second time, just a father who wants his kid to sleep at last at the end of a long day. Audience would adore him.

Too fast in my opinion, but good playing.
