  • That's my great-grandmother on the right, just near the cardboard Steinway!

    she was a real Rachmaninov fan, right from the start. Saw him at the Battersea Hippodrome, with Rimsky-Korsakov.

    We still have the bandana and promotional flyer at home. said he was a nice, shy sort of man. Nothing special. But BOY what a pianist. Such class. Quite Romantic. He made it big.

    Sorry for boring you.

  • it's really sad we can't hear recording from chopin or liszt

    Right first time round, dearie.... it's a CHER!

  • @Cancrizans it's hard to compare anyone to Rachmaninoff, whether contemporary or historical.

  • @andreaprodan Sorry, I meant 'Chere!'

  • @andreaprodan  Boring us? Au contraire, cher!

  • @TheDardanius Please look at Nikolai Kapustin, he's a real piano prodigy and a great modern composer.

  • @Cancrizans true... but still there should be a potential mozart between one of us...and not another virtuoso who only can play some fast notes.

  • @TheDardanius Because we've sold out to technology. Look at the insanity we are dealing with these days...scientists hoping to make computers "have human emotions"? To me that is the sign of an insane mind. Art has been thrown to the dogs in our society,but one thing true art never does is place ego and the artificial ahead of a fellow soul. Being alive is better than knowing things about being alive any day IMO.Our society is about knowing, not living. That is why we have no Mozarts these days.

  • Absolutely gorgeous! Sigh why can't modern pianists create such lush and sincere performances, I just find much of today's pianism lacking emotionally. Everything here is wonderful, the rubato, the phrasing, and the personality and art he brings to the piece. Thanks very much for sharing.

  • it's like the our musical skillss are geeting worse, nowadays poepel might even like random toen generators////;p

    why isnt there another beethoven, or mozart, or chopin?

    think about it...

  • Simply amazing. It appears as though his hands are not even moving in this video.
