Fantastic heartfelt performance with beautiful cantabile--and negotiates the most complex passages with ease and massive unforced sonority. Bravissimo to the performer~ The camerawork is some of the most horrific and distracting imaginable, constantly panning and zooming, moving around unrelated parts of the hall, and keeping away from the keyboard in the most interesting parts, distracting from one of the best performances of this piece. What a shame to not see the hands and keyboard during the climax.
If someone asks where there the third dislike came from, it is from me. Kirill is just butchering this elegiac and fragile étude. Too much rubato, too much acceleration in some easy parts. It does not sound leggero.
@@yurimeyrowitz6788 Does one have to play the violin in order to get the moral right to say that Ben Lee is a terrible violinist? No, even a person without musical education can say that. So what's different here? Do you re-record a classical piece before expressing dissatisfaction with an existing rendition? If the answer is 'no', your comment was not only ridiculous, but hypocritical. You can't like all of them, can you?
I have not heard this piece before, but I have heard Gerstein before. I think the piece was already played very well. Which version would you recommend me here on YT (that satisfy your taste)?
perfekt, Alle sehen und hören wie gebannt, das Orchester, die Besucher und ich. Bravo, Danke Kirill Gerstein
Such an underrated composer
like a few other russian composers of about the same period (Lyapounov, Glazounov, etc..), obscured by Rachmaninov and Scriabin.
My benchmark is the version of Michael Ponti - but Mr. Gersteins version is also one of the best I have heard and seen on RUclips
2:30 Such cantabile line!! Outstanding
absolut wunderbar!
Best rendition on RUclips!
As beautiful as this rendition as, I beg to differ ... this version cannot be transcended: ruclips.net/video/NTQJeso9DQs/видео.html
@@iianneill6013 I agree, Barere's version is pure wizardry.
Echt romantische Aufführung mit angeborener Lyrik.
A Simon Barere specialty. Gerstein brings it off consummately. Check out his Busoni Concerto. It's phenomenal.

Why not ask about the fossil fuel industry while you're at it? If you're going to be making irrelevant political comments, why hold back? 🤔
Von Eckardstein's rendition is much more subtle and poetic...

I look forward to hearing your performance of the work...

@@colorsofsound4782 From Michael Ponti - more virtuos and breathtaking - I have heard him playing this work as an encore a lot of time live
Style of the time. If you want a computer interpretation go program a midi. Or perhaps see if Hamelin has recorded it.
