  • I'm excited to share some of the most climactic powerful and thrilling moments from the repertoire of the world's finest pianists. Denis Matsuev, Lang Lang, Khatia Buniatishvili, Grigory Sokolov, Alexei Grynyuk, Yuja Wang, Giorgy Cziffra and Vladimir Horowitz deliver performances of nothing but sheer intensity and passion as they masterfully command the instrument.
    NOTE: The video may be challenging to view (to listen) due to its apocalyptic mood.

      ​@@MishaSkripach not all of them gave up their childhood. Most of the good ones enjoyed playing piano as a kid. Doing what you love does not mean giving it up and for sure most of them had enough life experience by their adolescence to be able to express complex fellings like they did through music. That life experience is gained by living! I used to play 4h/day and had plenty of time to play as a kid and learn in normal school and read a lot of books and do everything else needed.

      @@carolasandrakaty ALL OF THEM DID.
      I was talking about really outstanding musicians, not ordinary ones who have a degree. Giving up childhood to devote to music is not a bad thing, it is very enjoyable for those rare people. It is impossible for them to go to normal school. Four-five hours of practice+ solfege dictation lessons+chamber music and orchestra+ second instrument+composition+masterclasses, concerts, rehearsals, travelling to competitions. It is incompatible with normal school life, and none of those great musicians ever attended normal schools beyond age 7/ They don't have time for books either, just getting along with the minimal school curriculum is the maximum they can afford. Vengerov at age 9 thought that strawberries grow on trees, he was so busy learning. I am puzzled why you put yourself forward as an example, as pianist Sandra Popescu by age 34 has not even been spotted playing with an orchestra at all, and cannot be found anywhere playing? I was talking about the top talent, top achievers, not music teachers for nurseries?

      @@MishaSkripach you are a little agresive, calm down. 1. School is different in different parts of the world. 2. I have changed my name after marriage, I am not 34 y.o. and I have not studied a second instrument (although I also sing as a soprano in a choir). You are right, I am not one of the greatest (at least not yet), but for sure I did not went to music school because my parents pushed me to, but because I wanted it. There are kids like that. Not all are pushed by the parents. Sorry if you probably fell like you lost your childhood. For me is fun, I somehow get to fell like a kid even now. I see age as a state of mind. The piano was my favorite toy. So... again, don't judge all the people by your experience. I know not all the great ones were like me, acknowledge that not all were like you. It is kind of a spectrum this presure that parents put sometimes. But that is not a lost childhood, not always. Ask the great ones how they think about their childhood if you only belive the "great ones".

I once read something on RUclips like "Lang Lang is the greatest pianist of modern and historical times". And all I could think is "it's sad if you live in a universe where you've heard recordings by Richter (and so many others) and can still think that." I recall one great quote from Jorge Bolet, "Nothing kills excitement like mere velocity". YES.

      The reason he makes face is the express the music. For example if the B theme is angry the he will make an angry face if the C theme is sad the he will make a sad face it just means he’s really in the music. So when he played the octaves in the Rachmaninov concerto and he opens he’s mouth just really means he’s really in the music. He may not make the right faces or expressions and they may be weird, but it just means he’s really in the music.

      Lang Lang is one of the greatest performers alive today. I don’t care if he comes out with a flamingo on his head. To play like that, he’s got my respect. Y’all have got to come to grips with reality: some folks are a little different. It’s what makes them great, and if it spills over into visible tics or “grimaces” as some like to say, that’s ok. Doesn’t bother me one bit UNTIL they start doing LIberace with practiced grins and comedy. Lang Lang is able to play what he feels, and his face goes along with it. Don’t embarrass him. support him. Tell him it’s ok. Not that he gives a damn at this point, but it’s the principle of the thing.

    From the comments, I was expecting Khatia’s performance to be a disaster. Turned out to be amazing! Even when she plays wrong notes, she plays them right. It’s not one of my favorite pieces, and I don’t have the score, but that was what I want to hear from that piece. And she’s the one I want to see playing it! Incroyable!
    My overall take on this post is that most of the listeners commenting here are a bunch of spoiled whiners who couldn’t come near the worst of these performers. Not even far. You guys are criticizing way above your pay grade. I enjoyed the whole video. Yeah, I know about the wrong notes. Doesn’t freaking matter, guys and girls. These were great performances and the audiences stood up, I guarantee.

    An observation based on feeling and not expertise: I am no pianist, but is a common thing for me to hear, early in my life with a classical CD my mom played in our car for me to sleep. That soothed my soul... but i forgot about classical. Growing up as a restless anxious adult, since a friend introduced me to a tokyo ghoul OP played in piano that became my hyperfocus again. I saw more pianists playing in that year more that i can count, and really didn't saw why so many people thinks Lang Lang is one of the greatest pianist in the world by his masterclasses. Technique is not synonym of to be a GREAT musician. His plays sends me no goosebumps, the passagios arent building up, just throwed by him at no reason to the audience, and that may be how a music performer plays... Like, Hitomi uchara, she plays JAZZ piano, and the passagios gives more sentiment, they are buided even if is improvised. I dont see any beauty in the first piece of this video, the piano is like a woman, it needs to be touched properly to arousal. Like, you know? not going slow and SUPER FASTER, vice-versa. Do your own spin, but do the harmonica, match with the orchestra, for christ's sake. The styles played by Martha Argerich, Evgeny Kissin (he made me like to hear the highest notes alone?????) and, surprisingly, Yann Tiersen are the ones i am crazy about. Yuja slays too, she is SO GOOD, but is about the sound made by stiff fingers, many great pianists do that, i particularly hear and it ruins the play for me, it crashes my ears, idk how to explain... Prokofiev invented his own style, even with the rush of emotions that makes pianists play "hard" and make noises not music, he manages it well. Thats is what i believe, and hope i'll study some theory soon to evolve my ideas 01/10/2024
