Slower than usual tempo allowing deeper expression where every note and every pause speaks volumes! Very meaningful interpretation.

Grazie. Ciao :-)

Afanassiev a vraiment une gestuelle pianistique et un rubato qui lui sont propres. Cela peut agacer certains (et notamment mon ancien maitre Baubet-Gony qui le détestait), et je le comprends. Mais, pour ma part, je trouve assez convaincant sa façon de faire (même si ce serait folie de chercher à l'imiter). Il est authentique et cohérent avec lui-même. Respect.

Just marvellous. Music 'status nascendi'.

quanto sono"difficilissime" le mazurke di Chopin il grande... quanto! bravo!

[@punkpoetry]

This mazurka was on his CD called something like 'Homages and Ecstasies" where he paid tribute to his favorite pianists - Rachmaninov, Sofronitsky, Gilels, Michelangeli, Gould - by playing staples from their repertoires, only pretty badly.

[@MrAmerica51]

Pretty badly? Explain yourself: is this really so bad. Strange rubato, but it is a Mazurka (and posthumous).

[@lavendelblue4368]

@@MrAmerica51 No, sir, it's not mazurka at all. Yes, the notes are from mazurka, but everything else is not only bad - it's very bad. It 's not mazurka rythm, not mazurka style , not mazurka spirit. It has absolutely nothing in common with mazurka.

[@lavendelblue4368]

@@Mauriziobarenboim . Yes, sir, not only did I reseach, moreover - I danced mazurka thousend times in a folk group. I played mazurka - original mazurka dance also many times. I thought many kids how to dance and play mazurka at school. Are you better, are you a music teacher, are you a folk dancer, how many times did you dance folk mazurka? I repeat - it's not mazurka at all.
