  • camera man is retarded. Did he forget that a pianist has hands to?

  • Don't forget. Emil Gilels is human. So whatever may have sparked this performance is partly controlled by his spontaneous and momentary thought process. No one is perfect. But the man was a masterful musician and pianist, and had definitely thought thoroughly about his approach towards many compositions.

  • @zamyrabyrd What difference does it make if there's a version for harp? He's playing the piano, and he's not obliged to make the piano sound like a harp. To me, this is an hommage to Grieg's Holberg Suite, the Prelude of that, and the harp arrangement was an afterthought because of the figuration.

  • @timurgran Agreed, the middle section is particularly aggressive here, not like a harp at all.

  • This is the way music should be experienced, in all its sponteneity. What a beutiful moment.

  • I love Gilels!!!

  • Maybe he went to the bathroom, ors slept and woke with the clapping.

  • @martimtavares vê lá se te acalmas ó paneleiro cara de cu. ainda por cima não tens razão.

  • @martimtavares Has it crossed your mind that in other clips of the same concert that was great footage of his hands, which means there were cameras at that level of the keyboard you sarcastic shit?

  • @Martel211996 did it ever crossed your mind that there wasn't a camera at the level of the keyboard and that from this angle the cameraman couldn't film his hands unless he raised them?

  • @Eeeff Speed doesn't mean everything. :)

  • Wonderful.
