@uhartchristian i completely reiterate your observation
I want to find Byron Janis's recording-I know he played this-
Josef Lhevinne rules in this piece- his rhythm is exquisite
-
this is perfect

When "bad " music is played this well the pianism invites you to a special place.I loved this man only saw him once and he played Liszt sonata! Wish he was still playing allover like he did. Gorgeous tonal palette not just fingers and a temperament!!! This music is as fine as any ditty by top 40 songwriters. SO shut da f up!!! Lhevinne famous rec is a treasure.

this is completely spoiled concerning the rythm. Sgouros is a big talent with lots of technical possibilities, but this isn t stable.... Hear the lhevinne version or rosenthal and you will understand what I mean....

shut up

Ah, finally an artist who DARES to go out of the box. Still sticking to written sheet music repertory though, too scared of the critics and audiences probably despite his genius, but nevertheless. GREAT job to have dared. Sgouros, a genius 100/100, can sightread and play basically ANYthing, so the "effort" for him is not the performance but the going it alone, outside the trodden path. AND NOW a bumble-boogie + Kitten on the Keys for encores. NEXT step: throw sheet music overboard and play jazz.

well, the original version sounds too rinky dinky...this version, despite it being a bit overboard in its 'fancyness', it is still nonetheless a great piece because after all, it is schulz-evler's TRANSCRIPTION!!!<-------notice the word transcription. besides, this piece is meant to be an encore piece, not a part of the repertoire.
-
I like the original much better than this.Poeple try being smart and go say " oh i made my own version well guess what no one even has to hear it cuz they will know its junk like this." played good but the song ... nah bad bad bad.
-
Not bad performance at all...Just a bit lack of bases,and a few moshy moments...But,its good anyway - dont judge him too strict...
-
However, he is better than you. Look at yourself before complaining next time.
hay man isnt this guy owsem!
