First time hearing this composer and watching this performer. Outstanding! 🥰🎵🎶🎹

[@yutouu]

Thank you! He’s really fascinating artist, unfortunately he was forgotten for very long time.

[@Mofos_of_Metal]

Tremendous performance! What an achievement, this is the best I've heard these works played.
The perfect sound and piano for it too! so deep and rich! This performance deserves a lot more views.

[@yutouu]

Thank you for extremely kind compliments! I feel so honored. In fact I didn’t know Bortkiewicz before the Ukrainian War… but afterwards I not only know his name and music but also his life - especially connection with Vienna. For a based-in-Vienna-pianist I totally have empathy to feel him - his music and life - Bortkiewicz, Bösendorfer-Instrument and me are sharing our „Viennese“ specialities together! Maybe it’s the reason that we really made some unique effects together? I don’t know but I definitely will play more Bortkiewicz.

@@yutouu I discovered Bortkiewicz through the recording of his first Piano Concerto as part of the "Romantic Piano Concerto" series on Hyperion Records.
Then an online friend Koji Attwood began playing his pieces - there are some videos of his performances on TH-cam! I especially love his performance of the Ballade.
Cyprien Katsaris also did a great CD of Bortkiewicz music - that's a treasure for me too.
Yes his music is overwhelmingly "Romantic" - very unpretentious and incredibly emotionally direct - it's really special! There are of course echoes of other composers in his work but the more I became acquainted with his music the more I realized that it has a lot that is unique.
To me - his music is the most "sentimental" a composer can get whilst being completely sincere and pure of heart.

[@yutouu]

@@Mofos_of_Metalagree, it never bothers me that he shows diverse influences from other musicians... the emotion is still unique.
I also love his ballade and actually I planed to play a serie of ballads for my recitals this year, but at the end i decided not to play for this round, because i'd like to play his elegy with ballade, and this "set" actually shows another things from me.
During studying these pieces I also listen and compare the recording of Katsaris very often, unfortunately he didn't record all of them - but fortunately some of my favorite (no.7&8) he also played them. Great musician!
I'm really glad that Bortkiewicz is becoming more and more fans...

[@Mofos_of_Metal]

@@yutouu That passion for his music shows in your playing!
I found this video while looking around at Bortkiewicz videos on TH-cam, so I hope some others may find it that way too.
I subscribed and will listen to more of your performances - I particularly enjoy pianists who are more adventurous with their repertoire choices!
Viktor Kosenko is another one of my favourite Ukrainian composers - his piano works are great too. There are many underrated composers, thanks for helping promote Bortkiewicz, I am also glad that he is gaining fans!

[@sll0th511]

Gorgeous playing, I’ve been listening to this composer a lot recently, I love this set in particular incredible work learning the whole thing 🔥, I’ve been thinking of learning the 8th piece in this set it is so breathtaking

[@yutouu]

Thank you - my favorites of these are no.7,8,9. Unbelievable music! Enjoy and looking forward to your version!
