Wow, a roaring Corelli, but nonetheless convincing--and the opus 39 no 6! Absolutely breakneck speed, which I generally dislike, but completely convincing. This woman has changed my mind about so much.

A great pleasure. Thanks for posting this. Grosvenor is easily in my top five list.

The only thing about this exceptional pianist is her lack of a full beautiful tone

Insanely good

Lol 19:20

It's better than Horiwitz and Rakhmaninov himself

Wenn man die Lisztsonate so gut verstanden hat und über lisztgleiche Pianistik verfügt kann man sich leisten, kein Übertreiben und keine Tempokarrikatur der Tempounterschiede zu dulden. Man muss als Interpret nicht immer alle verfügbaren Mittel einsetzen.

One of the greatest of all time!

absolutely magnificent.

Oh she is so fierce!

Benjamin, watching and listening to you make music is therapy for my soul. You continue to be at the pinnacle with your gifts. God bless you. Bravissimo to you and Jason and the Philharmonia Orchestra.

The speed demon has got her. She can’t control her technique. I say this as constructive criticism. Otherwise, Zlata is a stunning performer. I think here performance of the first Rachmaninoff sonata is one of the best - for which, I think, the greater use of her technical power was fitting. She needs to be more strategic with her technique - know when to hold back.

Unmatched. This pianist is an incomparable artist and virtuoso. Stunning.

What a magnificent interpretation of this monumental Copeland universe

Wow !

"allegro ma non tanto" is written in the score and thats the way Hough plays it. Only 26 likes when this is exactly what the composer had in mind, means most people prefer it played incorrectly.

Впечатление ошеломляющее! Лист гениально! Открытие!

This is a great performance. Where'd you manage to get it? As far as I know the Proms doesn't release recordings of performances.

Superb. Brilliant pianist and trumpeter.

Very fast tempi towards the but probably as Rachmaninov indicated in the score.

Fantastic pianist 👋👋👋👋

Curious where the intermission took place.....wonderful playing!

Eccellente ❤

Très belle interprétation !

Grazieeee! 🎉 amazing pianist! ❤

1:23:21: mistake. No op. 32 no. 10 (in the program), but op. 23 no. 10.

Thanks a lot for this wonderful recital! Great zlata. ❤

There is no enough fingers up!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Stephen Hough gives a sparkling tour de force. The only thing that would have been better than listening to this beautiful rendition would have been to see it being performed. Many thanks, Joe!

I have seen Ben's performance of Ravel's piano concerto, played at age 12, and that was fantastic...he continues to amaze! Many times BRAVO! Great orchestra!

'Promo sm'

A gargantuan programme superbly played by the wonderful Zlata Chochieva.

Powerful is exactly the right word. I would also add exhilarating and poetic. What a wonderful pianist this young man is !

Thank you for this Joe

Mesmerising and entirely wonderful.

What a concert!

Thanks for sharing! I attended his recital last year, he was supposed to play prokofiev then, but changed the program. If you collect recordings by Hough, Grosvenor and other and make exchanges, please let me know!

This is Leighton's masterpiece among his piano solo works. When the late John McCabe played it in Germany an eminent musician came up to him and said "Why is this work not played everywhere, why is it not world famous?"

The best performance I've heard of this still-astonishing and iconic work. Hough makes it sound lyrical, not just harsh and percussive. Thanks so much for uploading!

Stephen Hough🍒 ‘Impressive virtuosity, as musically purposeful as it’s exciting … Hough’s brilliantly exact judgement of sonority in Copland’s Piano Variations - chiselled, rather than flinty … makes this the best performance I’ve heard’ (Classic FM Magazine)

Benjamin is a great pianist with a calm mind and a gentle soul. Insightful performance. His dynamics and technique are perfect and balanced. Phrasing is specious. I 'v listened to Ben's romantic and passionate Beethoven's 3rd Concerto, the one of a kind, natural and unique and was very grateful !!!

All the shimmering delights in Saint-Saens' enigmatic score were clearly displayed here. Sheer delight. Lovely to hear Sir Stephen's performance. I've only heard his compositions played by Seong-Jun CHO and Yunchan LIM previously. Thanks for the download

He remembers the old piano masters: Rachmaninov, Friedman, Cortot, Schnabel. Thanks for posting this wonderful performance.

Stunning...Bravissimo!!

Stephen Hough🧑‍🎄

I never thought I would ever say too fast when it came to Rachmaninoff Piano Concertos but this really just goes by so fast your mind cant keep up. Impressive beyond words that he can play like that but for petes sakes stop and smell the Flowers Stephen, :)

So Hough has played other MacDowell pieces - wonderful. His recording of the Hexentanz is also wonderful.

The music's understated tragedy is barely pacified by a brief hint at the end of the list's seventh 'Heroic' Transcendental Etude. Stephen Hough gives a great example of this humble and little-known piece of art.

Sir Stephen Hough is widely regarded as one of the most important and distinctive pianists of his generation. From highly acclaimed performances of central repertoire in recital, in recording, and with the world’s greatest orchestras, to an interest in contemporary and neglected nineteenth-century works, he integrates the imagination and pianistic colour of the past with the scholarship and intellectual rigour of the present, illuminating the very essence of the music he plays. He was awarded a prestigious MacArthur Fellowship in 2001 in recognition of his achievements, and he was knighted in the Queen’s Jubilee Birthday Honours list in 2022. Since winning first prize in the Naumburg International Piano Competition in 1983, he has appeared regularly with most of the major American and European orchestras under a range of leading conductors.
