i love you

This is for the listeners who are bored by the precise, academic playing of the late Horowitz😂

As a miserably endowed pianist with a lowly merit Grade VIII, this single piece defies my understanding of how these demi-gods can execute with such precision. The true miracle is however Frederick himself

The power, the phrasing and the tender legato are unbelievably gorgeous!

24:03 did you ever hear something like that before ? No. So be humble, and think about this kind of things.

This might be the greatest ever performance of a Rachmaninov piece. Usually a meaningless statement but I feel there's something unique here which justifies it.

Glenn Gould or Erwin Nyiregyhazy ? .... ?

This is actually astonishing

Me duelen los oídos, pobre ese piano qué culpa tiene que lo maltratan de esa manera?

cool

This is heavily subjective, but all I can hear from this s soul-crushing loneliness. Poignantly beautiful.

This is….

The art of wrong notes

My piano teacher went to hear Pachmann play, must be nearly 100 years ago.

Unglaublich.😯😍

Questa è gente che non potrà mai essere superata!

Second version: th-cam.com/video/Nyn1KJXzV6Y/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared

It’s not mazurka, it’s a funeral march with sweet memories in the middle part. Hard to accept such interpretation.

My love went away, the same day as the birthday of Rachmaninov : today Shall all you people hearing this song are doing well For there is such beauty in his hands, For we shall keep this recorded version alive forever

No one can beat Horowitz!

im melting now..

15:40

Inhuman brilliance spoiled by inhuman incompetence

Фантастичний технічний рівень Горовиця!!! Ускладнення тексту вражає і дивує. Космічна постать піанізму!!! Бравіссімо!

A priceless document. Maybe that Lamond would not win a modern Franz Liszt piano competition with his play but he wins our hearts. Which is better?

Paderewski, Friedman, Nyiregyhazi, Lipatti, Horowitz. Why do the odd numbers happen to be my favorite pianists?

demonic. demonic!

Massage for men.

Inpopular opinion maybe but the only rendition here that I liked is the one of the 19th rhapsody, the others he mostly approached as virtuoso works rather than musical pieces. And no, don't get me wrong, I do love Horowitz on Scarlatti, Schubert, Skriabin, and other composers just not so much on Liszt. And for those saying that is truly Lisztian need to look into who Liszt actually was and what moved him, hint, it wasn't playing fast at all. He was a deeply religious man who lived for tone color (due to his synesthesia). The timings available to his rendition of works will show you he played much slower than we do today. He was also known to be inconsistent between interpretations showing he played with the mood of the day not just 1 cookie cutter rendition like most pianists do today. No Liszt was a melodically driven musician and composer and used his great skills to further that not to just show off. And sadly only the 19th rhapsody in this collection of renditions hints at that.

Didn’t expect to scroll down my subscriptions feed and see a new upload from you. Thank you for preserving Nyiregyházi’s legacy for all these years (as well as the other phenomenal pianists you’ve posted)

a beautiful glimpse into the mind of a forgotten pianist-composer

Rosenthal's Ampico version of this etude is incredible and is as good as Lhevinne's any day of the week.

The only "ffff" I know in a record : here 26:03 this chord.

0:00 do you hear this ??????????? This sound, this immediate cataclysm ? And then with many moments of tenderness .... but immediately after this rage the tempest again ...

i have rather slow impressions on pachmann, but this is so impressive!!!

27:28 the phrasing here, this sudden phrasing .....

At last a pianist who is going beyond music. Raw sincerity, it's metaphysic; As Beethoven said for his "Grosse Fuge" , you will understand it in fifty years, (or after yout death)

11:46 18:23

In the spirit of Ivo Pogorelich.

this is the type of madness that I have too.

we don't hear 'misses' theres only pure, natural, primal peronality that it moves our central nervous system and stimulating physiological sense.

Elisabeth. O Merci pour cet enregistrement de génie ❤

A moving rendition.

It's in the timing, the pulse, the imagination, and this pianist delivered his soulful vision so intimately beautifully.

This is an incredible interpretation. Is there sheet music for this?

25:56 nobody on earth is able to play like this. And to all pianists here, do you want to know what "ffff" means ? Listen to the last chord of the "phrase" and do the same at home. Good luck.

23:13 at last, Nyiregyhazi is not playing "Schubert", or playing his own version or opinion about the work, he is playing for YOU. For your deepest personnality, your intrusive anguishes, your most inner cruel pain, your own hallucinations, your own coming danger, and coming death. This is the most monumental gift to any listener I have ever heard.

This uber strange Chopin is nonetheless haunting and profound.

24:02 and this .............. columns of some babylonian temple, or forgotten passionnate Wanderer-Fantasien in an odd, maledictive and semantic forest ... Der Wanderer stellt sich zu jedem Gefahr offen. Als wehrloser Einzelgânger, aber betrunken von seinem eigenen Abenteuer, stehen da keine mehr Grenzen vor Ihm. Es ist nicht die blöde "Freiheit" die vor Ihm steht, sondern, aber, das Hingehen ohne Rückkehr, das nur der Tod verdonnern kann. Mitten im Walde. Seine Seele hat kein Wert mehr. Nur noch die dunklen und klaren Kräfte des Himmels, im Tage und in der Nacht.

There's no Nyiregyhazi where you plan on going to. So why not stay, and enjoy the music as long as you can? Lest you cut the thread before Atropos.
