  • Sgouros' interpretation of this piece greatly matured in the following years. I strongly recommend you download his later performance of the Chopin Ballade 4 (in better sound) here:-

  • @DeliusAlkan the same comment in each of sgouro's video ! ok i think that it's clear !

  • @jen1989z Λοιπόν, το παιδί ξεκίνησε ως μεγαλοφυία, αλλά ύστερα από την ασφυκτική πίεση των γονιών του, τα συνεχή και αλλεπάλληλα ταξίδια κια εμφανίσεις και τις άπειρες ώρες μελέτης τόσο στο πιάνο όσο και στα μαθηματικά, ο Σγούρος "κάηκε" συναισθηματικώς και ψυχικώς, με αποτέλεσμα να καταντήσει μισότρελος και πλήρως εξαρτόμενος από την πιεστική μητέρα του (ούτε τα κορδόνια του δεν μπορεί να δέσει) Τέλος, ξέρω από έμπιστες πηγές πως είναι και ομοφυλόφιλος, και μάλιστα καταπιεσμένος και ανισόρροπος

  • @DeliusAlkan Γιατί, πλέον δεν παίζει? πρώτη φορά ακούω για αυτόν βέβαια, αλλά αν θέλεις πες μου δύο πράγματα για εκείνον παραπάνω!

  • It's such a pity that another musical genius and a compatriot of mine lost his infancy, his friends and his sanity cause to his "ambitious" family, to become an hysteric, unsocial & half-crazy homo who can't even tie his shoes without his mother's help... Not to mention that most of his mucical abilities have degraded in a ruined state... Another promising talented man destroyed...

  • Beautiful heartfelt performance with the (duh, we ain't got no technology in 1984) end cut off. I suppose if given the chance to listen to Mozart through time travel the most our wizards could come with is 2 tin cans and string.

  • I think his interpretation is very similar to Oleg Boshniakovich (you can also find Boshniakovich Ballade 4 at Youtube, that is the great pianist..). For a 14 year old boy, this is good enough, but Boshniakovich has more profundity, because of age...Chopin wrote Ballade 4 at his last period, there are lots of feeling inside this master pieces which 14 year old boy can not understand.

  • You can find the program (in paper form) at the Megaron. It is not yet uploaded in the internet site. Lang Lang will also visit Athens this spring

  • ;P lol

    April? I'll be there! Where did you find that? The program for 2009 hasn't been listed.
