Amazing to hear and see all the hard work you have been doing, this study so difficult to play and you mastered it! Well done.

How? Good job bro

Nicely done! Almost perfect! Just make sure not to rush and play with metronome, slow practice always first 🎉

Excellent work~!

Excellent!

Does anyone have information about his brother Luis (Lewis) Kottler? I recently discovered that he is my biological maternal grandfather. I know there is a story there, but i really have no real information. I know he played violin and cello in chicago and detroit.

reminds me of some Volodos arrangements, very nice

The tempo fluctuations are incredible. Each phrase has a pulse, like a real breathing human. Always give and take and then back to the established tempo. Recently my daughter, Kathryn Parks, just posted a live interview with him on public TV where he plays and you can watch this piano giant in action! ruclips.net/video/_ciLm5q8vg0/видео.html

Beautiful❣️🎼🎶☑️

Wonderful i love it!!!♥️♥️

lovely! i’m learning this right now

Lovely work, Joseph! I have enjoyed listening to you play! Blessings!

Joseph, such a vast improvement in your playing and performance skills, since I last had the pleasure of listening to you play, aided as they are here by your teacher Gerald Goslin accompanying you. It is a well conceived interpretation, vibrant and full of Haydnesque buoyancy. Congratulations! It has been a complete pleasure! Blessings to you and Maestro Goslin!

Excellent!

Que forma de leer partituras felicidades aprovecha el talento que Dios te da.

Beautiful My former piano teacher Studied with Mischa at age 9 till age 18

I was a private student of his.....approximately 1980-1985?

I was a student of a Kottler student - Gerald Goslin I'm interested in knowing more about Mischa Kottler Kottler Piano Students may contact me at joseph.beels@gmail.com Also watch my Chopin C Major Etude Op. 10 #1

The private performance for Charles Alexander during October 2015

Absolutely beautiful!

Thank you so much for posting this beautiful piece that Mischa KOTTLER PLAYED. Studied piano with him and was thrilled to listen to this wonderful recording.!

Brilliant--played by a man who mastered life as well as music

It is probably Antal Dorati conducting the Detroit Symphony. He was music director at the time, although it could have been a guest conductor.

Although he did perform regularly at Wayne State's CAA during this time period, this particular performance is recorded at Ford Auditorium with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra in 1980. The WSU orchestra was pretty good, but not this good! Mischa Kottler was 80 years old at the time of the recording! (1899-1994) He had performed the same work with the DSO in the 30s. Mischa was the most prominent pianist and teacher in the Detroit area for 50 years or so. He had a huge repertoire of concerti, solo repertoire, and chamber music and performed often with the DSO and other local orchestras as well as in solo recital performances. He was DSO staff pianist for a number of years, chairman of the piano division at Wayne State University and music director at WJR AM 760 for many years when it was a classical music station. He had his own Steinway model D moved to Ford auditorium from his 2nd floor studio at his home on Fairfield near 7 Mile Road and Livernois for this performance. The piano was given to him by WJR. I think he played the Rachmaninoff 3rd three times that weekend including a Friday matinee. I was fortunate to study with him for many years and spent time in several lessons with him showing me some of the challenging sections of this piece during the time he was preparing for this performance. He especially emphasized the passage at 6:53-6:58 and 7:11-7:22 as being tough, and enjoyed demonstrating how other prominent pianists resorted to simplifying it.

I believe around 1980 at Wayne State's community arts auditorium

This is terrific! When and where was it recorded?

How wonderful to hear this. I had the tremendous privilege of studying with him for 2 years. What an amazing pianist and teacher.

I heard him give the whole "Third" with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, he was a tremendous performer and woefully under-appreciated. His rendition was greatly superior to that of Horowitz. Kottler agree'd to be my teacher; sadly it was a form of "hate at first sight" for both of us.

I'm so pleased to hear this. I too miss Mischa. He was my teacher for nine years and my mom's for 16 years. Thank you for posting this.

Meraviglioso!!!

Wonderful playing! There is no divide between the performer and the music. Thank you!

I love it! There's no affectation whatsoever, just genuinely fine musicianship. Beautiful playing!

Elegant playing!

THANK YOU!

Thank you very much!

This is excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you- its one of my personal favorites :). Yes wasn't it Hoffman's only video recording? It is very amazing.

You understand the breadth of it. Your body of sound is commendable. I like it. It's a little difficult to hear through the crackles of surface noise. With the lower opening notes at the octave etc, I might tend to lead them to their destination with a dynamic gradation. You might also need to temper the tempo here and there, it can become a little too wayward, but all in all Josef, you do have a fine feeling for this piece at feeling at its most inner region. Have you heard Hofmann play it?
