Nothing beats the experience of a live act. At that moment the musician is so elated he/she feels capable of everything. The entire Universe is under the sheer energy and power of the performance. And it's all in the musician's hands, body, heart and soul.
TRUE! But, alas, to achieve this, one must gave up all his childhood and devote all his life to music! Like wizards, they do not exist separately from their art.
@@johnbanach3875 I don't know anyone who started as a teenager and succeeded in getting full skill? it is impossible. Like sports, has to be started young. Bruce Liu began to play the piano at eight years old and was performing by the age of eleven. The technique must be developed before puberty.
@@MishaSkripach not all of them gave up their childhood. Most of the good ones enjoyed playing piano as a kid. Doing what you love does not mean giving it up and for sure most of them had enough life experience by their adolescence to be able to express complex fellings like they did through music. That life experience is gained by living! I used to play 4h/day and had plenty of time to play as a kid and learn in normal school and read a lot of books and do everything else needed.
@@carolasandrakaty ALL OF THEM DID. I was talking about really outstanding musicians, not ordinary ones who have a degree. Giving up childhood to devote to music is not a bad thing, it is very enjoyable for those rare people. It is impossible for them to go to normal school. Four-five hours of practice+ solfege dictation lessons+chamber music and orchestra+ second instrument+composition+masterclasses, concerts, rehearsals, travelling to competitions. It is incompatible with normal school life, and none of those great musicians ever attended normal schools beyond age 7/ They don't have time for books either, just getting along with the minimal school curriculum is the maximum they can afford. Vengerov at age 9 thought that strawberries grow on trees, he was so busy learning. I am puzzled why you put yourself forward as an example, as pianist Sandra Popescu by age 34 has not even been spotted playing with an orchestra at all, and cannot be found anywhere playing? I was talking about the top talent, top achievers, not music teachers for nurseries?
@@MishaSkripach you are a little agresive, calm down. 1. School is different in different parts of the world. 2. I have changed my name after marriage, I am not 34 y.o. and I have not studied a second instrument (although I also sing as a soprano in a choir). You are right, I am not one of the greatest (at least not yet), but for sure I did not went to music school because my parents pushed me to, but because I wanted it. There are kids like that. Not all are pushed by the parents. Sorry if you probably fell like you lost your childhood. For me is fun, I somehow get to fell like a kid even now. I see age as a state of mind. The piano was my favorite toy. So... again, don't judge all the people by your experience. I know not all the great ones were like me, acknowledge that not all were like you. It is kind of a spectrum this presure that parents put sometimes. But that is not a lost childhood, not always. Ask the great ones how they think about their childhood if you only belive the "great ones".
She's average really. Try Marc Andre Hamelin Argerich played this scriabin concerto the best though And volodos of course played his own transcription of Mozart Turkish march the best
@@Nancy-ff5tr they're crazy lmao. Average is us normal people that take it as a hobby. If musician average then those just starting their debut to a stage. Musicians that make it their entire living to play music are by far not average whether in an orchestra or soloist
I'm always perplexed by how awkward and seemingly contorted and tense Lang Lang's hands look, yet he shreds. I'm not a huge fan of his playing, but the dude has bizarrely powerful technique.
@jacquelinedressler7002 Listen to Ashkenazy's recording of Rach 3 on Decca. It is devoid of all the technical show-off Lang Lang produces here. I prefer Ashkenazy. Music shouldn't be turned into a technical showpiece just for the sake of technicality.
I think his face pulling and grimaces are just pathetic. I wouldn't even go to a Lang Lang concert if I got the ticket for free because I dislike his ridiculous behavior while playing.
Literally the best 14 minutes my brain has ever had the pleasure experiencing. Bless our arts love our world. Love and light the beautiful way. Music is forever
Although I'm the last person to compare Wang to Horowitz, give Caesar her due: that is among the only technically flawless versions of that insane cadenza in a live recording, and she is ALWAYS like that.
@@fredfeinberg3995 Yes, but without getting into a big debate, there's still a huge confusion that will live forever: technique is NOT about playing cleanly, it's only part of the technique. EVERYTHING is technique: having expression is technique, singing the melody is technique, having independent voices (like Horowitz) is technique, controlling tempo is technique, internalizing the music is technique (which Lang doesn't have), etc.
@@beecolor Yes, of course. People have been saying this since Hofmann and Rachmaninoff, but I guess it still hasn't penetrated. I once read something on TH-cam like "Lang Lang is the greatest pianist of modern and historical times". And all I could think is "it's sad if you live in a universe where you've heard recordings by Richter (and so many others) and can still think that." I recall one great quote from Jorge Bolet, "Nothing kills excitement like mere velocity". YES. I do have a sore point with this: Argerich. It makes me insane when people say "OK, so she can play fast", as if that's why she is world-famous. Feh!
Veronika you make it sound so simple and easy that beauty is transfigured through your hands and the passion of your soul. Thanks, I loved your performance.
This is a performing art. They are adding their physical beings in to performing. I love it. If it's what I tell my own students. If you sit there unmoving no one will watch you play for very long. Love this video.
Lang Lang is one of the greatest performers alive today. I don’t care if he comes out with a flamingo on his head. To play like that, he’s got my respect. Y’all have got to come to grips with reality: some folks are a little different. It’s what makes them great, and if it spills over into visible tics or “grimaces” as some like to say, that’s ok. Doesn’t bother me one bit UNTIL they start doing LIberace with practiced grins and comedy. Lang Lang is able to play what he feels, and his face goes along with it. Don’t embarrass him. support him. Tell him it’s ok. Not that he gives a damn at this point, but it’s the principle of the thing.
Theatrics, weird faces and histrionics make some player’s live performances difficult to enjoy. Horowitz is extraordinary. Yuja’s hands are a wonder to watch. The rest of us are tinkering
You allready know this but the weird faces helps focus on these difficult pieces.. I've been doing karate for a long time and the extra waving around gets your hands, head, eyes, ears, body arms, and legs on exact center
@@marckg6950 Когда играл китаец (3-й концерт Рахманинова), я боялся, что он потеряет контроль над собой и начнёт фальшивить. В итоге он действительно вошёл в транс и его выручила только механическая память пальцев. Это было жалкое зрелище.
@@borisbrinkmann Yeah, that is a great state of mind. A totally new perspective to look for. And so should also the pieces written for piano, from someone who is or who was possesed.
@@tatjanasiljeg2429 that's the right choice, his faces ruin the music he plays. Not sure why he makes those expressions, I think he makes them on purpose. They don't look natural or spontaneous.
The reason he makes face is the express the music. For example if the B theme is angry the he will make an angry face if the C theme is sad the he will make a sad face it just means he’s really in the music. So when he played the octaves in the Rachmaninov concerto and he opens he’s mouth just really means he’s really in the music. He may not make the right faces or expressions and they may be weird, but it just means he’s really in the music.
@@frédéricchopinFan.9479 - yes, they want that it seem so... The thing is that one can play without such expressions... But then again - he is such a great pianist that everything is ok...😉
Aw That Steinway was built to TAKE THAT! AND THAT! AND THAT!!♡♡♡ Trust me! It was built w Lizst in Mind! 😅 Even Liza Minelli dancing on the top of a Concert D with Stilettos! When that one came back home to the Steinway basement we were in awe!
7:18 Alexei might had played a wrong note in the Hungarian Rhapsody No.6 but in my opinion, I say that added much more drama and Scherzo mood to the overall piece, making actually sound more meaningful in the climax of that rhapsody. Alexei did a fantastic job of using his interpretations to the Hungarian Rhapsody No.6 especially at the end filled with notoriously fast octave 16th note passages, a contrary chromatic octave scale and lots of enormous hand jumps
No les pasa que cuando ven interpretar una pieza demasiado rápido sienten que no suena como debería, algo asi me pasó con friska, igualmente que increíble manera de derrochar virtuosismo 🙌🏻

The world's greatest pianist is noticeably absent from this selection, possibly because he makes light of any of these kind of pieces and instead of "destroying" the piano for shallow effect, he actually favours music over acrobatics. Nice work Yuja Wang and Sokolov!
Buniatishvilli mashed every tempo that rhapsody allows, and while it's reaffirming to know she can pull off a dazzler, serious works do call for a certain formal comportment. Even rhapsodies.
@@KenhelExcallius Yes, it was a cadenza and Khatia is the only one (on this video) who never beats the piano. She is kind! Cziffra's notes are heavy at this speed. To me this is the most important aspect: The sound itself. The same thing with the violin... A phrase... It sounds rough... To me it's over. I stop listening.
@@cynthiabeltran1680 oh for me Cziffra is just clean, there are also times where he’s able to keep up speed and maintain a soft and light tone, as seen in his hr 6 and hr4 octave runs at the end
Fenomenos!! los maestros de la orquesta (que tambien son virtuosos, por algo estan en la orquesta), solo les queda deleitarse con estas magistrales interpretaciones, seguramente sin "envidia", solo admirando el virtuosismo de estos fenomenos. FELICITACIONES.
I don't know how to explain this but it somehow impresses me more when a pianist plays slowly and softly rather than fast. Liszt makes me nervous (except Bells of Geneva, that one's lovely). There's something about finding the right tempo for Schuberts Standchen for example that hits harder....
этим грешат многие пианисты. т.к. конкуренция большая, а выделяться хочется, но я предпочитаю слушать музыку, которую написали композиторы. а не тот фарс, в который превращают ее некоторые самовлюбленные исполнители (про вымя вообще молчу, детей на такие концерты водить нельзя, это 18+, бесстыдница какая-то. ладно, еще низ прикрыт и инструмент целый))))
Magnífica recopilación. Por supuesto que son interpretaciones muy personales de la música, pero la mnimetacion de ellos con la música es tal que son poseídos por ella en sus emociones y lo transmiten en su genial interpretación, que escandaliza a los puristas, pero son momentos en que su sensibilidad se encuentra al borde y se desboca en la interpretación.!!!! Gracias por proporcionarnos estas oportunidades únicas
From the comments, I was expecting Khatia’s performance to be a disaster. Turned out to be amazing! Even when she plays wrong notes, she plays them right. It’s not one of my favorite pieces, and I don’t have the score, but that was what I want to hear from that piece. And she’s the one I want to see playing it! Incroyable! My overall take on this post is that most of the listeners commenting here are a bunch of spoiled whiners who couldn’t come near the worst of these performers. Not even far. You guys are criticizing way above your pay grade. I enjoyed the whole video. Yeah, I know about the wrong notes. Doesn’t freaking matter, guys and girls. These were great performances and the audiences stood up, I guarantee.

Fenomenos!! los maestros de la orquesta (que tambien son virtuosos, por algo estan en la orquesta), solo les queda deleitarse con estas magistrales interpretaciones, seguramente sin "envidia", solo admirando el virtuosismo de estos fenomenos. FELICITACIONES.
List’s Hungarian Rhapsody will always belong to Tom and Jerry. Once seen it will always be with you when you hear this🤷🏼♂️
And Bugs Bunny, what's up Doc?
Although upon hearing this, I did get a hankering for McDonald's breakfast.
yes, the "Cat Concerto" episode. one of my favorites!
I think out of all the performers, Khatia's violin performance was the best.
4:04 alright boys, we all know where was that guy behind her looking at, and why he smiled to someone back there.....
Yuja Rulz! 🤩
Lang lang...ooo no there's a tarantula in my trousers
what
@@Wall-u9hthat’s how he reacted
Feel the music, be the music.. crazy
They are beautiful.
I don't know how to explain this but it somehow impresses me more when a pianist plays slowly and softly rather than fast. Liszt makes me nervous (except Bells of Geneva, that one's lovely). There's something about finding the right tempo for Schuberts Standchen for example that hits harder....
My preference is for Cziffra. One step above
Finally somebody that admires the master
Ils m'ont stressés plus qu'autre chose !
Khatia buniatishvili is a freaking legend!!! She even played at asap rocky’s concert
He is a satanist
Chills n smiles!
The pianos came through unscathed, the music not always.
Some of those pieced were tortured ...
my arms cramped up halfway through the video!
For me, Russian pianists that play the NOTES AND THE MUSIC, not just the notes. Russians are the best.
For personal reasons imma disagree.
Yes... Mr. Pletnev, Daniil and Evgeny are missing. I guess they wouldn't like to play this fast.
русские лучшие во всём!😊😂
Excellent compilation of talent✨👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
А ведь некоторые балдеют от его игры.... Дурновкусие, желание произвести эффект на слушателя, используя силу
Ланг Ланг - пианист номер один, а тебе слушать лучше шансон.
этим грешат многие пианисты. т.к. конкуренция большая, а выделяться хочется, но я предпочитаю слушать музыку, которую написали композиторы. а не тот фарс, в который превращают ее некоторые самовлюбленные исполнители (про вымя вообще молчу, детей на такие концерты водить нельзя, это 18+, бесстыдница какая-то. ладно, еще низ прикрыт и инструмент целый))))
@SeraphimLeo да, я наслышана о западных ценностях))))))))
@@olenkaykв том то и дело, что «наслышана».
Wow! Amazing!
Lang lang kinda looks like PAC-MAN
not in this video, but he always recalls me Yoda
Possessed, rather
why is that 3:40 already highlighted????????..... HMMMMM Man of Culture...WE MEET AGAIN!!!!!!!!
oh yeah, finally men of culture
Magnífica recopilación. Por supuesto que son interpretaciones muy personales de la música, pero la mnimetacion de ellos con la música es tal que son poseídos por ella en sus emociones y lo transmiten en su genial interpretación, que escandaliza a los puristas, pero son momentos en que su sensibilidad se encuentra al borde y se desboca en la interpretación.!!!!
Gracias por proporcionarnos estas oportunidades únicas
тогда надо называть это каверами, а не исполнением оригинала
Yes and i saw her with both of them yesterday in a different video.
I really need to learn piano
hermoso... lo bello de lo simple...
and this is why piano is a percussion instrument
🎹Lovely pair of pianists 🎹🎹👍🏼
1:33 You can’t tell me these mafackas aint possessed
That direct eye contact threw me off 😅
I dont undertsnad how the first guy was such a gentleman and also a headbanger at the same time
Even though one can, sometimes one should not
that good steinway piano great exxpresions
From the comments, I was expecting Khatia’s performance to be a disaster. Turned out to be amazing! Even when she plays wrong notes, she plays them right. It’s not one of my favorite pieces, and I don’t have the score, but that was what I want to hear from that piece. And she’s the one I want to see playing it! Incroyable!
My overall take on this post is that most of the listeners commenting here are a bunch of spoiled whiners who couldn’t come near the worst of these performers. Not even far. You guys are criticizing way above your pay grade. I enjoyed the whole video. Yeah, I know about the wrong notes. Doesn’t freaking matter, guys and girls. These were great performances and the audiences stood up, I guarantee.
Хорошо, только это не искусство, а спорт и цирк
Don't need to be a pianist to tell that people faking a seizure while playing an instrument does not look entertaining lol
At first I was thinking it will be the 1st guy doing that for 14 minutes, and I was wondering how is he not going to die in the process 🤣
Горовец вне конкуренции ! 👏👏👏
Por qué Lang Lang me saca lagrimas? 😢❤❤❤❤❤
4:45 When you're trying to stay serious.
They're good with their fingers!! 😁
Lang lang !!!!! 😅 es increíble!!!!
Отличная подборка.❤
Third pianist in red kept my focus
@Cagdeorok That is Khatia Buniatishvili
