Berezovsky plays with such clarity (and this video's sound quality is great too)... a few other versions on youtube are a bit faster, but I think this is the best version I've seen regardless. The Godowsky version is stunning, as well.
I think this is certainly the best version of the Godowsky version of the Revolutionary Etude I have heard. Berezovsky's playing of the Chopin Etude itself is superb and stunning too.
@@demirzengin_ mazeppa is nowhere near the hardest Liszt étude. From the same set there is Feux Follets, and of course from the 1838 Paganini set there is no. 4
I've been playing 13 years now and I was practicing Chopin's Revolutionary for 3 years till I got it to today's final version, but it's definitely worth to try, I love Chopin and the Revolutionary is my heart thing
So musical. The structure of the piece is his priority-- the technique just serves to accomplish his ideas--not a series of tasks or stunts. Fantastic.
"If I was Boris, I'd be sipping a cup of tea with my right hand during this. That'd be epic lol." - Dunno where that comment went, but it deserves to be at the top...
I wish Godowski could have a second version, keeping the same lef hand and adding the right hand to it. How incredibly dificult it would be, but there´s always someone to play...
@@DihelsonMendonca I mean sure but it's gonna be some situation like the Appassionatasonata by Beethoven when nobody believed it could be played before LISZT SAID "AIGHT BET" so if it were to happen that's how I think it would
Berezovsky is the greatest pianist of all time. No fluffy feces, no dancing on the bench, no reading, no attempt to transform everything into Mozart... Just raw talent
Remarquable interprétation pour cette magnifique oeuvre de Chopin, sans parler de l'adaptation pour la main gauche seulement, qui est une véritable prouesse technique et magnifiquement interprétée ; je suis littéralement resté scotché en découvrant cette version. Bravo. ;)
Since childhood I've been heavily leant towards baroque, still am, but naturally I love music; all kinds, heard so many records, seen so many artists, one better than the other but Mr. Berezovsky has brought Chopin and Rachmaninov closer to me simply by playing it. If that is not the gift of music I don't know what is.
Despite tempo, Godowsky's version is enormously difficult. It is quite common for professional pianists to play Chopin's Etudes, but not more than a few have ever recorded Godowski's.
honestly? I liked the second one he played better than the 1st. I like the 1st, but not so much the way he played it, the 2nd was cool, so of this performance, I like the 2nd better.
I agree the 'second', or the Godowsky transcription is much more controlled, stems from the fact that more concentration and a more even distribution of energy and power is required, where as the right-hand, independently delivers the velocity on its own.
HELL yea. That'd be a sight to behold. It just hit me that many of Godowsky's reworkings of the Chopin etudes are old school 'mashups'. Not necessarily this one, but man it's badass!
ho potuto ascoltare Boris nel 2005 al Festival di piano in Francia : 2 concerti di Rachmaninov (3^ e4^ ) nella stessa serata !!! Un gigante del pianoforte con un umilta’ encomiabile.
Okay, despite the top comments, is it weird that I find Godowsky's left hand transcriptions to be much easier than the original etudes at times? This being one of them- Revolutionary for left hand is so much easier for me than the original version, probably because the whole song is configured into one hand... but maybe that's just me. That being said, it must be reiterated that Godowsky's studies are no cake walk.
No, it's not easier. Godowsky's version is left hand only, which is a lot harder than Chopin's. Although Chopin's is faster, Godowsky combines all the parts into the left hand, which is extremely difficult to play.
The candle going out at 2:37 was spooky. The flawless godowsky performance at 2:49 was terrifying
That red light indicates that the recording is on or off. They turned off the recording there.
Berezovsky plays with such clarity (and this video's sound quality is great too)... a few other versions on youtube are a bit faster, but I think this is the best version I've seen regardless.
The Godowsky version is stunning, as well.
DIdnt you hear the news about him_?,The last news about him?.you will hate him from now on...i mean, if you are against RUSSIA and Putin.
I think this is certainly the best version of the Godowsky version of the Revolutionary Etude I have heard. Berezovsky's playing of the Chopin Etude itself is superb and stunning too.
This is one of the hardest and best played things I've seen in my useless life.
Its been 7 years im a bit late to say this but go listen to Liszt's mazeppa or Chopin's mazurka's
@Franz Liszt mostly yes

2:48 left hand etude...
So musical. The structure of the piece is his priority-- the technique just serves to accomplish his ideas--not a series of tasks or stunts. Fantastic.
He won the Tchaikovsky competition
Absolutely fantastic, especially the second piece
"If I was Boris, I'd be sipping a cup of tea with my right hand during this. That'd be epic lol."
- Dunno where that comment went, but it deserves to be at the top...
@Franz Schubert so are you ;)
Outstanding. Simply outanding!!
And doubly outstanding for the Godowsky version. Beautiful and inspirational!
Thank you : )
Chopin: I've made a set of etudes that every pianist will fear forever! No one can make them harder!
Godowsky: I'll hold my beer
The pianist literally can drink a beer while he playing the piece 'cause one hand is free :))
Clever girl
😂

Yeah but it'd be such a hard mental and physical challenge
@@DPNack_ Yes, but soon someone solve the puzzle. There's always someone who can figure out how to do it, 😅

I love the way he always looks so incredibly bored when he's playing. Like it's just too easy for him. Reminds me of Horowitz.
Lol
Or Hamelin playing Chopin-Godowsky Étude No. 1
Horowitz just had lightened keyboard
Berezovsky is great and all, but Horowitz was god. And he never sweated like Boris :)
it's great how he doesn't smudge it all with pedal that lots of performers do to cover up for technical blemishes in their left hand :D awesome!
First saw this video in 2012 and it has mesmerized me ever since. Single-handedly changed the trajectory of my piano career.
Godowsky version simply amazed
Remarquable interprétation pour cette magnifique oeuvre de Chopin, sans parler de l'adaptation pour la main gauche seulement, qui est une véritable prouesse technique et magnifiquement interprétée ; je suis littéralement resté scotché en découvrant cette version. Bravo. ;)
Speechless, nice left hand and composition too!
Wish I had been born with this sort of talent. He is brilliant.
Thats something you learn, not something you are born with.

The piano looks so small compare to him.
***** Well, true
Riza hariati berezovsky is tall?
hgy
@Franz Liszt ne biliyim litkz abi
Yes right!
O-O WoW! This is the best version I heard yet. And the sound quality is AWESOME! Best video yet!
Потрясающий Борис Березовский! Вновь в октябре будет выступать у нас! Жду! ❤
a fanatic, impressive the easy way he plays, the powerful and deep vibe, fantastic
Despite tempo, Godowsky's version is enormously difficult. It is quite common for professional pianists to play Chopin's Etudes, but not more than a few have ever recorded Godowski's.
he is truly gifted. great performance.
Absolutely brilliant! No words... bravo.
intense, the right tempo and dynamics, what a great pianist!!
God that was amazing! I never new someone else made another version, it was so cool!
Left hand be looking at the right hand like HEEELP MEEEEEEEEEE
honestly? I liked the second one he played better than the 1st. I like the 1st, but not so much the way he played it, the 2nd was cool, so of this performance, I like the 2nd better.

The first (original version) was probably no challenge at all for him. Cheers!
ここへ自動的に変わったので、想像してなかっただけに楽しく、素敵です。アップありがとうございました。
Berezovsky is one of my favourite pinaists. Fantastic interprte
ation of this music peace.
Это лучшее исполнение Шопена, что мне довелось слышать. Спасибо Вам за эмоциональную встряску. Дай Вам Бог творческих успехов.
Да вы просто Гений! Я в восторге,браво!!! Желаю Вам творческих успехов, ждём новых интересных исполнений!!!
Soooooo beautiful music .....I love it .
Bravo!!!! Genial interpretación !!!
Обожаю Березовского! Он настоящий!!! Ну и гений, конечно!
He makes it look so easy👍👍👍😄
Отлично. Спасибо большое за прекрасное исполнение.
Здоровье и успехов вам.
I love it.I love it...Thank you very much for video !!!
Wouaou!!!!! Amazing piano player!!!!
Not only Incredible but with a different insight! Just wonderful!
Wow it's just the way i would like to play it.. very clear version, i like it very much i must say!
WHAT IS THIS MADNESS???!!! LIKE!!!
Left hand version was amazing!
His playing is effortless
I have attended at his concert, was very amazing :)))
HELL yea. That'd be a sight to behold. It just hit me that many of Godowsky's reworkings of the Chopin etudes are old school 'mashups'. Not necessarily this one, but man it's badass!
Piękne wykonanie, aż miło słuchać, i być dumnym że Chopin był Polakiem.
Absolutely gorgeous Chopin and Godowsky !
Stupendous, stunning!
Something Captain Hook could realistically play on piano!
@JupiterIV no its right
Juste magnifique
i like 1:55
So sad his career ended as it did. Boris Berezovsky 1969-2022.
holy shit, your comment is how I found out about his controversy… wow wtf
It's kinda more difficult to play it with only one hand like this, but though it's difficult, he could do it so beautiful. Thumbs up :D
Impressive!
I wish I could have been the 1 person in the audience. Boris Berezovsky
One of the finest pianist in our era, he is.
absolutely amazing
persona non grata
just wrapped this piece up like 10 minutes ago, but it doesnt sound like this! he's so awesome:)
Actually, Godowski version is more refined.
total respect, ce défit technique n'aurait pas été sans déplaire à Frédéric CHOPIN lui même
I'd even go as far to say that the left hand version is just as easy to play blindfolded. No exaggeration.
Wonderfulllllll!!!!!! Bravo!!!!!!
I never liked the upper keys on the piano anyway...
CaptnButtonSmash lol
but u don't have to press KEY LOCK
This is one of the best interpretations of this piece.
Браво-брависсимо!!!
ho potuto ascoltare Boris nel 2005 al Festival di piano in Francia : 2 concerti di Rachmaninov (3^ e4^ ) nella stessa serata !!! Un gigante del pianoforte con un umilta’ encomiabile.

BRAVO.i wonder if his hands would get tired or not....its so amazing...
Fantastic!❤
Amazing the Part with the left hand!
I'm trying to learn this etude! And when i've mastered something like this i'll fo sure feel amazing!
twisted awsome, umbelievable.
Just amazing !
So great Boris!!!
Sorprendente ejecución... La primera parte es bestial, y la 2da ni te cuento. Este Boris realmente es una bestialidad con el piano! Bravo!
Espetacular! E a versão do Godowsky é meio-tom acima da original.
phenomenal!
There is really no doubt about how good Berezovsky is...
Great rendition ✴️✴️✴️✴️✴️
So great, but can be ever better, and he knows it!
perfectly wonderful
I'll cut my hands off!
He is absolutely awesome!
Maravilloso, estupendo, saludos desde Lima-Perú.
Très impressionnant Bravo
quando sento questo brano, immagino di stare in casa e vedere dalla finestra alberi piegati e tormentati da un forte vento.
すばらしいです！
ridiculously sick!
AMAZING
Chapeau !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, it's not easier. Godowsky's version is left hand only, which is a lot harder than Chopin's. Although Chopin's is faster, Godowsky combines all the parts into the left hand, which is extremely difficult to play.
I agree entirely. I also think that Berezovsky's performance of the Godowsky's version of the "Revolutionary Etude" is rather nice.
Finally someone who can play this properly!
he is one of the big pianists out there - you should check out his work!
That's the tempo.
i really like his 10/12 he doesnt rush through the beggining like a lot of people
lol, epic, the candle blew out at 2:42
it's wonderful! :D
