Awesome and mind blowing. Kocsis owned this badass piece like nobody ever did, or will. What a shame he died so young.
This really is the best interpretation of this piece, Kocsis understands the whole soul of the music.
There is also one from Lang Lang ( who is not my favorit pianist!) BUT: very very good played!
This piece might not be as popular as Prokofiev War Sonatas are, but what an amazing music this is. And what a pianist, he really is among the very best -if not the best- wizards of the keyboard ever to play his music. I discovered him when my professor gave me a CD with this piece and the Romanian Folk Dances, maybe recorded in the seventies. Just the beginning of the first Romanian folk Dances sounds from a different level of piano playing. This video is a historic testimony
RIP Kocsis Zoltán
That was bloody brilliant
I come back to listen to this wonder. And im here to say again that im as amazed as two years ago. Thanks to Kocsis that really understood what Bartok was trying to say! Its like he had to be born in order to make the score come to life.
Rest in Peace, Master!
Superb pianist! We shall miss him!
0:00 - I. Allegro moderato
4:22 - II. Sostenuto e pesante
8:18 - III. Allegro molto
Wonderful interpretation - just love it. RIP...
Magnifique artiste disparu trop tôt. Éblouissant dans la sonate de bartok.
Insane, wonderful, the best version ever!!!!!
Testing a piano 🎹 for a mechanical tolerance! 👍👌👍👌👍 Great job 👏! TEST PASSED!
11:14 i could say this for the whole sonata, but... Fuck! what is this part????? that sound in the background. It gives a sensation that is making an strange portamento in the piano or something, but if you listen closely it's actually stable. Unbeliavable harmony! This is the single greatest piano performance i've ever heard of this incredible piano sonata.
Genius meets Genius.
RIP Kocsis Zoltán!
Respect ZT.
Genius.
God dammit! This music is so sincere, so realistic, so close to you, so beautiful, so raw, so visible, so direct, so strong, so funny (yes, Bartók is for me the humorist of the music, it is A-MA-ZING) How am i supposed to appreciate Liszt, for example, after being completely absorved by this music? hahaha. But it's also attractive the importance of the ambiguoty apart from being also close to you. That's the importance of Bartok, besides being confusion music it's also close to you and speaks so coherently and directly.
you already know the answer: if Bartók's language has started to make sense, you have to forget it to appreciate anyone else! Liszt is great, but many levels below Bartók in terms of self-aware intelligence. Enjoy both if you can. I appreciate and approve your comment that so clearly comes out of happiness at hearing this music!
I recommend Kodály Op.7 for violin and cello if you want to find more reasons to be happy :)
Yes, i really like it. I find he has something special. He is not the kind of friend to see at the beggining, but once you see him, it's wow so natural.
Yes, he is good, perhaps that may be a problem too. But i like seeing Bartok as another door to continue searching for more, one has to recreate everytime after all, the others are not Bartok, no hahaha. But It is true is that Bartok music is very sincere and real and he really played with very strong feelings in his music, something you don't see in all the composers.
I've tried Liszt and his friends the romantics. They were a nice gang together, yes. But not as much individual power in their music as in Bartok's and some musicians from the XX century. It's true that.
And yes i try searching for more, yes. I try.
sounds like a drunk cat liszt music is far better this sounds like the wacky races or tom and jerry stuff
Bartók's music actually has a lot's of connection to Liszt's. Actually Kocsis used to speak about it, as he knew a lot about both composers.
Bartok's music is so naive, naively awesome.
Really impressive !
absolutely!!!
In fact in this sonata i can find many melodies that sound familiar to me even if i never heard them before.
fantastic
R.I.P. Kocsis Zoltán ( 1952. máj.30. - 2016.nov.6.) :'-(
2010marcius4 wait his birthday is the same as mine? Why didn't i know this before?😯
Wow! Kocsis attacks the piano with Bartók's fiendishly difficult Sz. 80.
Each time I listen to this version ,my reaction is the same : electrified as I first listen to it . Kocsis rules , why he chose to conduct ?
+loboris1995 He still plays Bartok
This music is like a tragicomedy. I love it. The only problem is that it's too short, but no problem, becauase here i can extend it to 20 minutes or more.
I don't agree, the only problem is that i can't live in this sonata ha
Similar to Bartok's touch; a touch of paving stone. And I mean that in a good sense.

Hmm...
Is this video legal? I mean, is it under the laws of copyright or is it clandestine? Do not delete this video please, lords of copyright...
Like a dinosaur! :)
Excellent as always, but probably too much rubato to accommodate technical difficulties
it's like a poor man's Prokofieff...
What is this mess ? Some revised Scarlatti Sonata in modern mood ?
And rubato, and these weird coquetteries .... real crooky stuff
your mom is mess
