I think it was Alfred Brendel who commented that not enough Russians play Schubert and I absolutely agree with that observation. It’s good to see that this balance is being redressed. Beautiful performance, thank you.
This pianist really impresses me. I have listened at his Chopin Etudes and Bach's Art of the Fugue. He has an amazing technical ability but his musical insight is simply sublime!
For me, one of the most eloquent performances of a monumental piece of piano music that I have ever heard. Bravo! Bravo! Look forward to more of Schubert from this performer!
This performance is outstanding! I have watched as many videos as possible (Richter, Serkin etc.) and this one is one of the best. It is hard to play a piece that is so well known, that so many great artists have played and still make a difference. Bravo! PS.: check out for the similarities between 3rd and 4th movements of Schubert's D.960 and 3rd and 4th movements os Beethoven's #18 (Op.31/3), not to mention the same 4 movements format.
What a pleasure....reminds me Claudio Arrau for his simplicity and worderful respect of the score in every aspect. Mr. Gryaznov has a tremendous future in piano music if isn't a reality already. Highly recommend Chopin's Etudes Opus 25 N 1.
Marvellous recording. One of the bests I've ever heard (and I've heard a lot..). Hopefully, you will record more Schubert? Hope to see you playing a concert one day maybe...
Franz Schubert did not have an easy life. Despite his exceptional talent, no recognition was given to him during his lifetime and he survived only thanks to the help of a few friends. After his death, which occurred at a very young age (only thirty-one years old), his brothers threw the scores of his works in a chest, and since very few had been published during his lifetime, they would probably have been lost, if they had not been saved by Robert Schumann, who had recognized his Genius and managed to recover the scores. Thanks to Vyacheslaw Gryaznov for the intense performance of the marvellous piano sonata D 960.
Sorry to rain on the parade. It didn't work for me. Gryaznov has extraordinary techinque, and indeed brought out occasional voices that I've never before heard in this piece. But...much too clinical and metronomic, at times almost robotic. The piano (or his left hand) was also wimpy in the bass, which is so important in this piece, though a good part of that was the excessively light pedaling. Sorry, folks. This piece is suffused literally with Schubert's dying pathos. Despite the superb technique, I heard much too little of that. Overall, a superb technical performance, but... :-)
@@VyacheslavGryaznovPiano You did! I appreciated the clarity of the voicings. Music isn't just about the sounds, but also the lack thereof of...the spaces in between - the "ma" as the Japanese call it.

Amazing timbre, control, and musicality. Absolutely fantastic performance! Bravo, Mr Gryaznov!
Simply brilliant! One of the very finest young Russian artists performing today, not to be missed! Josef
Wonderful! The art that conceals Art. He makes is all seem so easy - and no theatrical grimaces or body twisting! Superb musician.

I delight hearing an excellent pianist play an excellent piece on an excellent instrument that has been perfectly tuned and regulated!

Very nice. Love the way you did the counterpoint in the section around the 5 minute mark. Probably my favorite Sonata ever.
. Such a wide palette of touch and color.Listen also to his rendition of the art of the Fugue. Extraordinary. Superb pianist.
For me, one of the most eloquent performances of a monumental piece of piano music that I have ever heard. Bravo! Bravo! Look forward to more of Schubert from this performer!
I was about to write the same thing. You are so right. This is an eloquent breath of fresh air from a budding young artist.

Maestro, I think Schubert too would have applauded to your highly skilled and expressive performance!👋👋👋
Un pianista como los de antes, por fin!!!!!! A pianist like those of the greatest of the past century!!!! At last!!!!

Гениальное исполнение!
Ottima interpretazione molto bravo e’un pianista che non conoscevo
Astounding performance.
Really amazing performance…
Bravo!!! Bravo!!!
That primary theme is serenely hymn like. I love when it soars like the celestial vaulted ceiling. PWG
Bravo!
I'm inspired.
You are a genius and in the same league as Brendel, Kempf, Serkin and Schiff.
❤️❤️❤️
What model of piano is this being played on?
