Channel for memories of my family but also a music channel where I upload original High Quality score videos of the best recordings of famous pieces by underrated pianists.
Ravel Gaspard de la Nuit - Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli - London 1959 Live (Score)
Absolutely jaw dropping performance of Ravel’s Gaspard de la Nuit, one of the most difficult ever piano pieces in standard repertoire.
Every movement is phenomenal and is played in such a poetic manner. The ondine beginning chords in the RH, and the double note runs near the climax, both of which are very difficult and uncomfortable to play, have such a clear, and perfectly crystalline sound which sounds better than so many other pianists. His voicing in the movement and the climax, one of my favourite parts in piano literature are impeccable. I love the way he treats it; not playing it too fast (the part that leads to the climax) and the climax itself is very clear and it has the perfect balance of RH and LH bass which compliment each other. 5:21 is amazing. Michelangeli definitely has the best performance of Ondine.
The second movement, La Gibet, is a real treasure with the atonal structure and mysterious and eerie feeling to it, and it is really present here.
Michelagenli plays this piece best in my opinion but this exact recording in 1959 London is my favourite performance mainly because of La Gibet, which I felt was slow enough to feel the emotions that Ravel intended, similar to Argerich’s performance. I prefer it compared to his 1960 recording in Prague which is 2 whole minutes faster and in this he lets the piece breathe more especially the movement. Not to mention the piano is of much higher quality, which makes the bass sound more profound.
The final and most famous & technically difficult movement, Scarbo, is incredible. In the start the repeating D-Sharp notes are the cleanest I have heard them and at a perfect tempo. His scarbo is metronomic but very ectatic, powerful, and passionate with a profound bass. 16:40 and 20:45, the two climaxes, are played with fiery. No excess rubato just Michelangeli creating magic.

I hope you enjoy the new score layout: I stopped using imovie and screen recording the score (thats why in previous videos there was an annoying grey arrow icon in the corner of the screen) and instead am using premiere rush after learning how to use it properly. As such the videos look better and the transition between pages are much more fluid.

Liszt Funérailles S. 173 - Horowitz 1948 (Score)
มุมมอง 2242 หลายเดือนก่อน
A stunning, dark, gloomy, sad, explosive, and powerful recording of Liszt Funerailles. Live performance by young Horowitz in 1948. He truly captures the essense in this piece, butg I am not sure why he skips many parts as I think it detracts from the performance. Still my favourite rendition.

I have no words. This is Liszt’s transcription of the legendary Beethoven Symphony No. 9, my favourite symphony, and is unanimously regarded as the most difficult Liszt composition he ever made. The piece is over an hour long, in this case 79 entire minutes, divided into four enormous movements, and the stamina, voicing, speed, clarity etc. required to pull this off for that amount of time is o...

Beethoven Sonata No. 32 in C Minor Op. 111 - Ernst Levy 1956 (Score)
มุมมอง 8883 หลายเดือนก่อน
In my opinion the greatest recording of this mighty and famous Beethoven piece, well known for its genius and innovative jazz like part in the second and final movement. The piece is the final sonata written in 1822 and the final note is a satisfying c major chord. It is a perfect ending to the set of 32 sonatas and also his first sonata the first note is also a C. For the perfomrnace, it is ab...

Beethoven Sonata No 29, Hammerklavier Sonata is undoubtedly one of the greatest sonatas ever written for piano and by Beethoven. Beethoven’s Viennese publishers announced the new sonata in 1819 as a work that “excels above all other creations of this master not only through its most rich and grand fantasy but also in regard to artistic perfection and sustained style, and will mark a new period ...
Liszt Reminiscences de Lucia di Lammermoor Donizetti - Martha Filjak, Jorge Bolet (Score)
มุมมอง 4995 หลายเดือนก่อน
Two of my favourite recordings of Liszt/Donizetti Lammermoor, an majestic and short operatic paraphrase. The first recording I encontered is by Hegedus, but these two are better in my opinion. My all time favourite is kinda surprisingly a modern interpretation by Martha Filjak. It is modern but it has deviations to the score, such as in the ending which make it the most powerful executed, along...

Five superb and very rare live recordings by Pierre Alain Volondat of Lyapunov’s Transcendental Etudes. No. 1 the first etude is a very beautiful etude and this is the most melodic recording of the etudes by Volondat. It is delicate, subtle, and a relaxing piece and this recording has very impresseive voicing espcially the countermelody in the beginning. 3:27 there is a change in the audio as a...

Hello everyone! Sorry for the slight delay in posting as I have been very busy since the New Years. Here is a collosal performance of the greatest Piano Concerto ever written and Rachmoninoff’s most famous piece and the best one in my opinion.

Josef Hofmann, the best Chopin interpreter, unleashes a performance just as good his the first concerto. A piece so Chopinistic, a combination of fury virtuosity and calm phrases and here executed wonderfully. A notably part is 14:22 and 27:30. The slower parts are suplime and the faster parts he brings out the dramatic/exciting parts. Also, the Orchestrated work truly understands him as pianis...

Thank you for sharing these pieces you have a good channel
That's a nice gem of a recording
The Fantasie is slightly underrated in my opinion, better than the scherzi and better than at least one ballade
It's very difficult
From the era before his breakdown when VH was the greatest pianist born after 1900,, including modern pianists
Horowvitz... Michaelangeli... Pollini...
This is really good
ニレジハージの演奏好き❤
Leider kein Tempo di Marcia am Anfang! Das ist doch ein eindeutiger Hinweus!
Tempo di Marcia by Chopin is not literal
But the indication is not a marcia funebre…
@@radovanlorkovic3562 Marcia "Grave", do you expect a military march?
@@tammoton9494 No but neither a marcia funebre.
I don't know, I find it a bit a sloppy performance, I've heard better performances by Horovitz. Too much pedal in general i.m.o. and indeed some negligence in respecting certain musical indications.
Beautiful
There is only a few notes without accidentals...crazy to read. But it sounds amazing!
0:13 chord hits hard
So Fm?
@@zevelgamer.Fm(add2) actually
agree that VH plays slower than others at 5:05 section. it makes more tension
Have you heard Richter's 1954 recording? I quite like it, more than Hamelin's by a long shot actually.
Surprised the piano survived the 3rd mov.
I usually strongly dislike this pianist, but this recording is really good
I mention a name: ALEXANDER MALOFEEV: His interpretation of the third movement of this sonata remains unmatched
Wagner+Mahler+R Strauss+Skriabin and you get something like this.
18:07 :D
II. 8:30 III. 14:41
Ugly sonata
The wheels were inches away from falling off here. It shows. Incredible.
This is an AWESOME feat and I'm by no means trying to hate, but I really don't get some of the musical decisions here - perhaps the easy bits are helpful as a break for the pianist, but a lot of these easy bits sound like a string of notes rather than Beethoven 9, and there are a lot of added bass notes for dramatic effect that feel really out of place.
30:33
He was in his mid-forties. The "young" Horowitz was the Horowitz of the late 1920s and early 1930s.
Coming back to this in a time of need. Incredible music.
25:00
Beginning at around 7:00, we can easily sense that Horowitz is switching over to frenzied mode, resulting in a tempo that even he can't sustain, omitting a few measures in the process. There's excitement, of course, but this borderline hysteria unfortunately makes for a less-than-musical experience. A pianist of his colossal abilities could've certainly done more to realize this piece to the fullest extent without resorting to such extreme over-dramatization.
I'm glad that my digitization of this recording has reached a wider audience through your channel. I worked quite a bit to get the dynamics consistent wi the LP.
Yes thank you for uploading it!!
How is it even possible to get such a rich variety of sounds from a piano? Truly out of this world
More videos please if possible.
St Francois de Paula sailing through a tsunami 🤔
I never heard anyone accuse this piece of being of high quality, and this performance does its best to substantiate the idea. Could the opening tempo be any alower? Could the rest of the piece be played any more sloppily or unmusically? No one (in my listening experience), not even Horowitz, has been able to make this piece "work", and I can't imagine why a pianist would bother with it, there being so many dozens of "worthier" works from which to choose.
Yay my two favorites!! Great choices
9:30, 16:14, 44:37
Nice try..don't try
In the 50s with Horowitz retired, I would raise Michelangeli as the greatest pianist performing live. This and his 1957 Debussy Images are mind-blowingly good
nice
Epic!
young beast hrowotiz
so glad to see lyapunov perform
Legendary score video, congratulations!
Thank you so much!

Nice
