Wow, the score shows you what a brilliant pianist and modern composer Bartók was!

[@pmlouisjuste]

the second movement is incredible, what a unique atmosphere!

[@christianvennemann9008]

That opening with the low Bs on the piano is so menacing and epic!
EDIT: Also, I never would've guessed that I'd hear Zimerman play Bartók

I've said this before but i'll say it again: 17:46 is the most ingenious thing ever

[@yoga.ma.genova8591]

How come?

[@slateflash]

@@yoga.ma.genova8591 Because it's so damn original and unique

[@yoga.ma.genova8591]

@@slateflash Like everything else in this Concerto. But why “the most ingenious ever“?

[@slateflash]

@@yoga.ma.genova8591 to me it is. Do i have to explain any further?

[@yoga.ma.genova8591]

@@slateflash It would be nice and interesting, but obviously I cannot force you, neither I would. Thanks for your attention.
