@ldhmage Lots of them, unfortunately. Makes me really grateful for the amazing artists that we DO have, i.e. Horowitz and Gilels.

@TheMoritati Lugansky is not just sterile, he is no musician. Just a mechanical non-expressive player.

Masterful...
-
Wow, that was fast, and good.
-
@NOSEhow2LIV i think the same. he can be more "musician" and musical other days... it's often the case with pianists today in the Chopin's etudes. I prefer, by far, the imagination of Horowitz, Lhevinne, Friedman...

It's well phrased, very fast, clean, and voiced properly. Very 'proper', and unfortunately not very interesting. Lugansky is great, just a wee bit sterile, for me.

And then there are 2 options: or you let the melody (which is in the left hand, in this Etude) sing, or you focus on the fast notes (which are only broken chords) in the right hand.
Most pianists take the second option.
In my opinion this reduces the music's quality heavily.
A cordial greeting,
Geert Dehoux, pianist.

I actually agree with you.
There is a 'tradition' of playing Chopin's Etudes, Waltzes and Polonaises in a (very) high tempo and for what ?
To show you can do it ?
Many people don't realize that playing well at a moderated speed can be much more difficult than 'flying'!
-
A good recording, but like the Gorlatch it is way too fast. For the definitive Youtube recordings, see Blechacz and Pogorelich. They bring out so much more in their performances!

Oh god!!! is fantastic

As a pinistic feat, it's phenomenal. But if you look for pearly grace, spicy surprises in passing harmonies, curves & elegance with wit........it's just fart oof ast, taking the piece out of the natural soundscape a twitch it can be fully appreciote. I admire Lug-an'-ski and have loved many of his performances, but this actually reduces the piece's full effect.
