    In Russia nobody says about Stephen Hough. But such musicians who can combine such amazing emotional qualities with an ingenious sense of proportion we haven't. In my personal opinion, Mr. Hough is the best pianist of the 21st century, the play of which I have ever enjoyed. I apologise for my language, if I wrote something wrong.

      I totally agree with your comment. He is a total artist. Not only pianist, he also is composer, author, and painter. Because of that, his sound quality is somewhat extraordinary. His performance of Rachmaninov's Raphsody on a Theme of Paganini was superb.

    The piano sounded unusually clear to me so I looked it up and found it to be a new straight strung design. Considering I knew nothing about this innovation, and considering I was motivated to look into it just from its sound, I'm thinking there might be something good in it.
    I wonder how Stephen H found it to play.

    I've listened to Mendelssohn's Piano Concerto no 1 by a few performers, mostly by Alexandra Govdan... I will always dearly love her version and the deftness and energy displayed by the Sinfonica de Galicia. However, even after listening to the concerto probably a hundred times in recent weeks, Maestro Hough's playing easily passed the "made me cry" test! Like a baby, I was! Masterly! Bravo!

    Great playing, though at times very rushed. Would have been so much better if the pianist had finished with his last chord and let the orchestra have the final phrase as it is written in the score (he was slightly early on the final chord which spoiled the climax).

    メンデルスゾーンに、ビアノ協奏曲があった事は、知らなかったのです。シューマンやショパンやリストは、知っていたのです。音楽の有名無名は、素人の私には、有り触れたことなのです、それに振り回されている、自分を思う事は、本当に詰まらない事なのです。そういう、ありのままの自分を思い乍ら、聴いていますと、それはそれで、分かったこともあると思ったのです。素人玄人の違いも又、一興であるのだからと、確信したのです。案外、素人の方が、本当ではないのかと深慮したのです。演奏の善し悪しよりも、作曲家の事を、よく知る事の方が、大切であると思慮したのです
