REMASTERED (Century's recording: Emil Gilels): ruclips.net/video/4-gO7wdgBVM/видео.html Piero Rattalino : "J'ai été un peu déçu quand j'ai lu le nouveau programme : Sept Sonates de Scarlatti en échange des Brahms-Paganini ne m'a pas semblé très excitant. Au contraire, ce fut l'un de ses plus beaux récitals. Gilels était de taille moyenne, plutôt court, avec une carrure agile mais trapue et une tête de léonin avec des cheveux de sébaste. Il avait une façon bien particulière de marcher sur scène : la tête fièrement haute, le visage sérieux, jamais souriant, son allure rapide. Je ne sais pas s'il a fait un entraînement autogène dans sa loge, mais vous avez compris que la musique avait déjà commencé pour lui avant qu'elle ne commence pour nous. Vous l'avez compris par sa concentration et par la position de ses bras (si étrange qu'au début elle semblait affectée), s'étendant à partir de son corps et pliés au niveau du coude. Quelle position étrange, pensai-je en le voyant entrer sur scène pour la première fois. J'en ai compris la raison lorsqu'il s'est assis au piano : ses bras étaient déjà réglés pour attaquer les touches. Un jour, un musicien d'orchestre m'a dit qu'aux répétitions, Toscanini montait sur le podium avec sa baguette déjà en mouvement. Gilels est entré avec ses bras prêts à jouer, et a gardé cette position. Il ne faisait pas toujours cela, mais quand c'était le cas, une force colossale jaillissait de lui, et on avait le sentiment que ce serait une soirée glorieuse".

That is a great observation, Piero. I believe some musicians perceive greeting applause at the beginning of a concert as a distraction and would like to shorten this moment. I think Sviatoslav Richter was one of these musicians as well. He used to rush to the scene and would quickly sit behind the piano with his hands start playing immediately after that. Interestingly, he also didn't tolerate anybody standing in the concert hall, a practice, which used to be very common in his days, especially when the crowds of concert-goers were enormous.
@@harrybendelow3537 What a silly remark. Maybe not "needed" but illuminating. The music comes from the person, the body, mind and psyche. It doesn't exist in an impersonal vacuum.
I have listened lots of famous piano recitals, but this strikes me as a particularly rare one. The atmosphere is very charged, the tempi moderate, great attention for every detail, absolutely stunning.
Emil Gilels is supherb as usual. This was recording was near the end of his life as I have understood it from different posts on RUclips, but of course he did not know it at that time when he played this.
The concert took place on September 25, 1984 in the Church of San Franceso in Locarno and was recorded by the Radio of Italian Switzerland. In my CD edition, Gilels plays Debussy's suite "Pour le piano" between Scarlatti and Schumann.
Emil Gilels is one of my musical "heroes". I never thought I'd hear him play repertoire like Scarlatti. It was quite lovely! I wish he would have recorded the Goldberg Variations. I'm thinking that would have been fascinating to hear.
I've seen very interesting comments on the interpretation and composer, but we have to compliment the excellent selection by the Classical Music/ /Reference Recording who owns this account. I am very judicious in subscribing to accounts, but when I saw the selection offered by Classical Music/ /Reference Recording, I couldn't help myself but join 31+K subscribers. Excellent selection and a fantastic forum for music connoisseurs who can share some interesting personal view or information (to be completely honest, I am a bit tired of uniformative posts). Kudos Classical Music/ /Reference Recording and THANK YOU!
Gilels is one of my favourite pianists. His recording of Beethoven sonatas for DG is superb, a reference. Unfortunately he didn't record all cycle. He died when he had recorded 28 sonatas.
Tarde invernal atenuada por una ligera calefacciòn que torna màs amigable el recinto donde escucho con verdadero deleite las sonatas de Scarlatti; complementada con el Estudio de la Sinfonìa op. 13 de Schumann; mùsica delicadìsima que proviene del piano ejecutado con absoluta solvencia por Emil Gilels.
Ce que j'apprécie chez 'le camarade' Gilels (il n'a pas connu la fin de l'URSS), c'était sa *modestie* : elle se traduisait dans ses interprétations, toute de sensibilité, sans sacrifier à la virtuosité, au brillant à tout prix, à la 'vitesse'... Il admirait énormément ces qualités-là chez Sv. Richter, mais Gilels en avait d'autres.
The notes about Gilels’ change of program reminded me of a recital I heard many years ago in Santa Fe of Christopher O’Riley. The original program was verging on the outrageous: Liszt Wagner transcriptions, 30 minute long Reich minimalist opus, Godowsky ... The original program was a who’s who of transcendent virtuosic works. But O’Riley had something else in mind. He completely changed the program right then and there and announced the pieces of the new program: Mozart, Schumann, Beethoven...What a wonderful recital! Instead of being blown away by sheer virtuosity, we were instead treated to an exquisitely beautiful and highly introspective performance.
Many thanks for the upload and commentary. The Scarlatti is fantastic - I don't think I heard K 32 before but if I did, not like this. Now for the Schumann - one of my favorite pieces for piano.
What is with the ad placement in this video? I get that we can’t escape ads now but can we at least avoid interrupting sublime music with the garbage that’s being hawked?

How can anything be more exciting than Scarlatti? Brams? I don't think so! Did we need all that personal stuff about the muscisian?
My opinion of Gilels is growing.

Mille mercis pour ce magnifique enregistrement. Gilels sera pour toujours une des plus magnifique étoiles dans le firmament des pianistes.
Una delle più belle e più profonde interpretazioni di Scarlatti che io abbia ascoltato
I have never heard any Scarlatti like this. I want more!
The Symphonic Etudes were incredible!
Emil Gilels is supherb as usual. This was recording was near the end of his life as I have understood it from different posts on RUclips, but of course he did not know it at that time when he played this.
A lovely recording of two impressive works by a great pianist. He sets a high standard, both in technique and feeling. Thank you for uploading.
You're welcome
The concert took place on September 25, 1984 in the Church of San Franceso in Locarno and was recorded by the Radio of Italian Switzerland.
In my CD edition, Gilels plays Debussy's suite "Pour le piano" between Scarlatti and Schumann.
Gilels carries the weight of the world in his notes.
Emil!
Overcome!
Scarlatti! Devil & Elegance!
Reference! Another Great Big Gift!
Always blessed!
Respect!

Gilels was performing and recording Scarlatti early in his career.

This comes close !!! very close !!! ( Scarlatti ) . Recording of the Century !
Perfection. Thank you.
Hermosa la musica clásica de piano : )
Thank you so much^^
Enjoy :-)

Sounds a bit raw thus very human and enjoyable

the recording is not much editted, it preserves some of the wrongs notes, that's quite rare nowadays
It is a live recording.
I am noticing that some videos are being removed like the Mendelssohn recordings posted 4-5 months ago. why?
🎹
A dream……
