TV-translation from Moscow Conservatory 27.12.1977, just the final of Sonata No 3, made me a lifelong fan of Chopin. It was a great emotional shock, purification and rebirth for the Light.
each of his notes was so bright and clean, in every piece he played, i love that. his way of playing chords is astonishing, just like richter's one.. neuhaus' influence?
Composing and performing are two very different things (overlapping by distinct). For example, Rachmaninov was known to say that the best performances of some of his pieces were given by Horrowitz. It's a little silly to mythologize that all the composers of the past were also amazing pianists or had the "best" performance of their own music.
many ways to play this masterpieces.... Gilel here not the fiery one , affecting faces and posture ....of Richter....! listen to .....Brailowsky: the 4th movement a death tarentella
You can not compare Claudio Arrau to the best players in same day.Dinu Lipatti Oleg Boshcniakovich Ashkenazy Alexei Sultanov.the king in chopin sonata 3 dinu lipatti the best
it doesnt sound like chopin,a bit too slow.his technique is qualified more for prokofieff or rachmaninoff.actually gilels´ chopin seems too heavy and not elegant enough.particularly the fast parts could be played more in a virtuoso manner,too static in dynamics i think.
this sonata chopin 3 belongs players like Dinu Lipatti Oleg Boshcniakovich Ashkenazy and ALEXEI Sultanov.the real king of chopin 3 sonata is Dinu Lipatti second to none the best

Wow, he really puts himself into this piece.
GREAT magnificent world class player.... WONDERFUL outstanding world class performance...!!!
Maybe the best pianist EVER

Che splendore
It is good to know that Gilels was Rubinstein's favourite pianist... :)
Master!!!!!
Awesome - loved it!
Highlight for me is 3:50 onwards. What wonderful sounds.
bravo!!!
Really... I didn't know that... and yet... it makes all the sense in the world... Thank You for sharing that information with us!!!
I didn't know Gilels was so physically expressive while playing.
totally agree with you, the third entry is spectacular...
muahah! THIS is perfection :D
Fabuleux ! Dommage que l'enregistrement ne soit pas à la hauteur...
I should imagine Schumann fits well into that category :)
lol at your comment... Gilels was Rubinstein's inferior in one thing only - popularity, esp with Americans

Well, even though what you say is true, the example that you have given is not exactly the best. Rachmaninoff was a hell of a pianist.
honesty is a part of russian piano school.
maybe
Bolet do it masterfully too...
:-)
WHAT ABOUT RICHTER, HOROWITZ, HOFFMAN, RACHMANINOV?

Artur Rubinstein he ain't, but it's still a unique interpretation.

Really? Better than the guys who composed this stuff? I love Gilels but I think best ever is a bit of a reach.

I agree with you. Lipatti is a genius.
What about them ? They're all dead.
