Charisma: Many great pianists, past and present, have had almost none. Others, many fewer, have had it to an almost supernatural degree. Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli was one of these. The aura surrounding him, even as he walked to the piano, had a decisive effect on the artistic experience of his audiences. He carried with him an impression not only of overwhelming power and authority, but also of an incorruptible artistic integrity and an almost preternatural calm. This air of Olympian detachment extended both to the near-infallibility of his technique and to the quality of his interpretations. Like many of the greatest artists, Michelangeli was always controversial, arousing in many musicians outspoken hostility and in others a degree of idolatry hardly seen since the heyday of Paderewski. Playing of this exalted level is enough to nourish the spirit for a lifetime. Here we encounter the very pinnacles of art, a realm vouchsafed to us by very few and from which we emerge enriched.
It's probably safe to say that we can imagine that only Liszt possessed the level of charisma of Michelangeli. His recitals were edge of the seat stuff, he generated so much electricity. I was lucky to hear him on a number of occasions in London, they left such a strong impression that it feels like yesterday, rather than 30 years, and more, ago.
Geschmackvolle live Aufführung dieser kompakten und perfekt komponierten Klaviersonate im gut phrasierten Tempo mit gut artikuliertem Anschlag und effektiv kontrollierter Dynamik. Echt unvergleichlicher Virtuoso!
Thank God the NASA didn't send his body to the space to represent the human race. The aliens would have flocked our planet! ABM is always in our hearts end on our earth 🌎
@@ootamanabu6254 Oh yes, absolutely. Clara Haskil, Annie Fischer, Tamarkina (!!), Maria Yudina, HJ Lim, and Kate Liu. Real music against the selfish boring italian robot.
Leonardo Merlini You can’t even imagine, dear Italian friend :) I wish you knew at least 10% of my knowledge. If you argue please tell me you favorite Italian singers and German conductor. Then I’ll know if it’s worth it to spend my time on you.
@ piano forte , uno stile , una interpretazione, il tocco sono tipici di ogni grande pianista . ABM è un genio che ha suonato nella sua interpretazione , nel suo stile , usando il suo tocco . Di certo non ha sbagliato mai una sola nota della partitura . Era Cortot che creava belle interpretazioni ma ogni tanto sbagliava ( ciò non di meno è ritenuto tra i più grandi di sempre) . ABM invece è perfetto . L'unico rammarico è che non ne nasceranno più . Cara la mia volpe che disprezza l'uva !!

Maravilhoso! Perfeito!
Precious recording archives! Merci beaucoup. Sound condition is excellent, satisfactory.
相変わらず素晴らしい音質、録音状態。有難うございます!最後の拍手がないとライブだとは気付かない。各フレーズや楽章の最後の残響が、何とも言えない精妙な美しさ。

This is the only one who’s NOT boring in this Sonata which has a “boring” subtitle
The absence of technical mistakes in his playing contributed to his legend, I think - made him seem inhuman.
I cannot help but notice the mechanical noise at 12:00, 12:44, 14:15, and 14:43.

Michelangeli , the King of boring
When I check your RUclips list I can see what you are referring to - when the piano is not your world don’t shut the pianist!
How does one deal with such stupidity as you possess Maisenbacher. I can imagine your attempt at this Sonata would leave auditoriums empty.
You are not fond of music
go hell. You not fond what is musik .

Disgusting, vulgar, tasteless, sick
How dare you? You don't nothing about music and michelangeli!
