Robert Schumann - Arabesque in C Major, Op. 18
Watch the whole concert: • Nicolas Economou plays...
Nicolas Economou (Greek: Νικόλας Οικονόμου; 11 August 1953 - 29 December 1993) was a Cypriot composer and pianist born in Nicosia, Cyprus. A precociously gifted pianist, Economou came to international attention at the 1969 Tchaikovsky Competition when he was 16. After studying at the Tchaikovsky Conservatory in Moscow he eventually moved via Düsseldorf to Munich. From his base there he established himself throughout Europe as a concert pianist, composer, arranger, conductor and organiser of music festivals. In December 1993 Economou was killed in an automobile accident in Cyprus while driving at night in thick fog.
Phenomenal playing. It couldn't be better. Exceptional pianist. R.I.P.
Simply breathtaking. Again, I am stunned... into profound silence.
As brilliant as always with Nicolas!
We miss you dear Nicolas, may you rest in peace.
Simply sublime!
The best Arabesque I have ever heard; period.
Dear Nicolas, I just uploaded No. 6 from Schumann's Kreisleriana. I listened to it for the first time and up came your exquisite Schumann Arabesque, I believe this is the finest recording of it that I have heard including my own performance. Loud bravos to you.

+Seymour Bernstein Thank you! Unfortunately, Nicolas Economou isn't anymore among us to answer you. In December 1993 Economou was killed in an automobile accident in Cyprus while driving at night in thick fog. Anyway, his fantastic piano recordings will always remain. Thank you for helping us sharing them here on TH-cam.
Dear Nicolas; Beautiful, simple beautiful. I've been working on the piece for forty years and you didn't loose track of the volume for the left hand, in fact, you brought it out when called for. The tempo was perfect and the breaks between the various section was extraordinary! The closing phrase... definitive! In short, I never heard a better interpretation. Bravo. Sent with great admiration. CVD
+Charles Nicolas Economou (11 August 1953 - 29 December 1993)
+Charles Davis Totally aggree! Havent heard another rendition yet thats so fluent, so gentle, so sophisticated. Characteristics in a way I've just heard yet from the great Gilels.
Sadly this devine rendition has so few clicks! I also found him accidently when I saw him playing with Friedrich Gulda and Chick Corea.
Hope you have heard his Kreisleriana too. If not. Listen!!
Thank you so much. I will listen to Kreisieriana. CVD
I agree, the legendary Gilels is the only one who comes close to Nicholas, what a tragedy he died so young, he would be the reference point for all other pianists today had he lived.
Agree .in the LH, at around 1.58 and 2.02 he brings out the left hand notes more than most do
Sublime ❤️❤️😘😘❤️❤️
Thank you fir this, my favorite interpretation; So beautiful, so yet so tragic his demise. ❤️💔
Che bello questo pezzo... ❤
Талантливый греческий пианист,чья жизнь очень рано трагически оборвалась, но осталась жить его музыка,которая и сегодня звучит для нас очень искренне и волнующе...Это одно из лучших исполнений Арабески Шумана, наряду с Э.Гилельсом, Г.Соколовым, М.Плетневым.
Bravo ! Parabéns Nicolas, linda a sua interpretação, você tocou com sentimento, com alma, amei ! Um abraço do Brasil
authentisch
A sad loss to music
good pace but imo should be played even faster. very good though.
Sei GRANDE ! ti rivolgi a Dio ?
Boooooa
