This woman at 13'55": The soul of Rachmaninoff lives in your body".... She is right. And I think Fiorentino is one of the most underrated pianists of the 20th century. Thanks for this video!
People on youtube often say things like, Michael Jackson, one of the most underrated singers of all time. In Fiorentino's case the underrated tag is absolutely deserved. He is an unknown genius of the piano.
Masterly ramblings indeed,thru Moz,Beet,Brahms,Schum,Tchaik symphonies and Rach selections.Even tho most is improvised,he has it all in his head,an exceptional musician.I bless youtube,(and the kind poster!)for this type of vid,giving us a warm,touching personal glimpse of a very private man,rare artist,great pianist.
One feels privileged to have this precious glimpse of a great musician in a more informal setting, obviously much loved and admired by his students - and by the rest of us! Many thanks for the upload.
Words are not enough to describe Sergio Fiorentino....He blows all these gimmick pianists out of the water with only A SINGLE note which means more than their 10000 !!!!
music comes so easy for him. and listen to those clean scales and octaves when he transcribes those symphonies, its like technique doesn't exit, only music does.
The same for the Chopin studies.He knocks them simply off!! He has certain virtuoso traits,NEVER to be surpassed by others!!!! Hear him playing Liszt!!!! Said to be an underrated pianist.Yeah...and WHY underrated ?.(a well known matter!!)
Well,I mean......lots of highly gifted performers are underrated,due to lacking of publicity.Or..by people having no clue to give any decent judgement. You know he went back to the conservatory to continuing teaching.(for health reasons??) You happen to know that other Italian pianist.....Alfonso Lombardi ? I never heard a Tchaikowski op 23 concerto musically like that!!
Wer die *'Wiedergabe'* technisch etwas verbessern will, kann ja den Vorschlag ausprobieren, der hier beschrieben ist: *Mein 'Vorschlag' einer* EQUALIZER-Einstellung -13,5dB (60Hz) -13,5dB (230Hz) -13,5dB (910Hz) -15,0dB (4kHz) +15,0dB (14kHz) Zur Modulation durch 'Bass Booster' Apps. Die Klangfarbe der Instrumente wird nicht verändert. Da jedoch vor allem die mMn. *eigentlich kaum wahrnehmbaren* Obertöne jenseits des "Notenfrequenz-Spektrums" zunehmend verstärkt sind, gewinnt die Wiedergabe merklich an Brillianz bzw. "Plastizität". (An der Tonquelle sind zunächst die Obertöne maßgeblich und stark mit-verantwortlich für die *Tonqualität* des Klanges. Je *weiter entfernt* ein Hörer, umso deutlicher lässt die sehr hochfrequente Signalintensität nach; *schneller* als die tiefere... Für ältere Aufnahmen bereits relevant beim Input in die unterschiedlich im Raum postierten Mikrofone. Dem wird mit neuester Aufnahmetechnik natürlich Rechnung getragen. Bei früheren Produktionen wirkt hier mAn. eine moderate Verstärkung der in einer Aufnahme abgeschwächt *original* vorhandenen höchsten Frequenzen *der Aufzeichnung* > 2 kHz diesem Hochton"defizit" leicht entgegen. - - Hören Sie selbst.. Erstaunlich.) *Vergleiche* die Wiedergaben, z.B. ab 3:31 oder 19:23f. mit/ohne o.a. Equalizer-Einstellung.... Hier wird die 'klarere Übertragung' recht deutlich hörbar; wie ein leicht 'verschwommenes' Foto plötzlich schärfer wird. *Warum* das so ist, kann man an dem *Graph* der Funktion, die sich aus dieser Einstellung ergibt, verstehen. *(Leider* wurden die Bemerkungen von einigen als Negativkritik *missverstanden;* das sollten sie *NICHT:* Nur Vorschläge zum Anhören *ALTER* Aufnahmen.) Der Vorschlag wurde etwas ergänzt, weil es unterschiedliche Equalizer gibt! Die Profis brauchen den Hinweis nicht. Er bezieht sich allgemein nur auf 'Bass Booster' Apps, ohne Zuschalten des BASS BOOST. Die meisten können damit ja richtig umgehen; viel Hörvergnügen!
3:27 "è lui! La mano è sua!": qualcuno ha per caso compreso qual è il nome che viene pronunciato? Dovrebbe essere un direttore d'orchestra, ma non riesco a capire. Grazie a chi vorrà aiutarmi.
Emilio Pessina Egregio dottore, il logorroico di cui parla, stuzzicava “sottilmente” il Maestro per invogliarlo a suonare, Duettavamo sempre con simpatia; per quanto riguarda le mie competenze, si informi prima di scrivere cattiverie gratuite!
Rincresce che uno dei più grandi pianisti italiani di sempre assieme a Busoni e Michelangeli sia stato così poco considerato. Ha un talento immenso!
Uno dei più grandi pianisti italiani,secondo me meglio di Michelangeli, aveva un repertorio inmenso
Genio.
Che meraviglia vederlo ridere e scherzare in napoletano con i suoi allievi. Grazie per questa gemma.
Just extraordinary. Absurdly underated
Rachmaninoff - Fiorentino, Scriabin - Sofronitsky. Here are total absolutes in piano music.

Quest'uomo era capace di far suonare bene anche un pianoforte bianco.
XD!
Verissimo.
Qui si sta parlando di un genio.
Meraviglioso! Sublime!

How much music can one person know?
music comes so easy for him. and listen to those clean scales and octaves when he transcribes those symphonies, its like technique doesn't exit, only music does.
The same for the Chopin studies.He knocks them simply off!!

@@shandfan what's the well known matter?
Well,I mean......lots of highly gifted performers are underrated,due to lacking of publicity.Or..by people having no clue to give any decent judgement.
You know he went back to the conservatory to continuing teaching.(for health reasons??)
You happen to know that other Italian pianist.....Alfonso Lombardi ? I never heard a Tchaikowski op 23 concerto musically like that!!

Suas mãos são dirigidas por Deus.
Does anybody understand the name of the conductor mentioned at 3:27? Thanks in advance to anybody who will help me understand it.
Genius
1996
Thanks!
I also have yellow grand-piano Kawai.
Wonder to know...does your Kaway grand hold the tuning for a longer time?(After 3 years of use after bought newly)
che anno era?
whats the mozart piece called?
what is the first piece that is played with only left hand? It is a very famous and beautiful piece and ive forgotten it
The 2nd movement from Beethoven's 7th symphony
thank you.very much.:-) truly appreciate
Iz Lives listen to glenn goulds performance of liszts arrangement for beethovens second movement 7 symphony for piano :)
Such a pity we don't have an entire performance of him on that piece
Haha....he plays the final movement from Beethovens symphony no 7. Never heard as piano solo.I wonder,who wrote this?
Remarkable!
A genial Master
Yes indeed. A very engaging personality - and a very great pianist and musician.

Busillis67 mi sembra di capire De Fusco
Cosa suona a 3:30 circa??? Devo saperlo vi prego
Rachmaninov ovviamente
Ma chi cazzo so i 2 che hanno messo non mi piace?
Due minus habens.
Uno sicuro Rattalino...l'altro probabilmente qualche negato, bocciato da Fiorentino ad uno dei tanti Concorsi pianistici ai quali presiedeva...😜😜
:))
Haha Arrestateli gli invidiosi
Chi è il logorroico che continua a straparlare senza nemmeno conoscere la terza di Brahms e la terza di Schumann? Un po' di decenza! :-))))
