  • @avamac No, it's Emil Gilels. But you're close though :-)

  • This makes me remember Ruth Laredo saying her whole body ached after playing, I think, Ravel. Gilels is working out on this piece. Muscular!

  • @klausknulp Please remove immediately the profile photo, because you do not have a copyright!

    Sexist statements offend as much against the rules of youtube.

    I reserve the right to evaluate their information regarding your given profession as a pianist and professor, as far as I am informed, you live by the Treasury. In the evening you earn your food in a lunch counter with bar music.

    It is not acceptable that you abuse this forum as a con man.

  • Oh, I love Gilels...and it is amazing how extrordinary control of the power and sound he had. Just imagine he could play Mozart and also this BIG, BIG Prokofiev...

    But it was a little funny at the end, when he wanted to repair his hair...it was worst!!! xp
