    I love this guy. Fabulous technician and uniquely valid interpreter. I love his stuff. Smaller hands, no problem. That 2nd one was out of this world. "Eloquent" is a great descriptor.

    One Of The Very Best Performances Of Prelude 2 That I Have Ever Heard...I Was First Inspired By This Piece When I Heard It Performed In A Concert By Someone At The Royal Conservatory Of Music In Toronto...This Was In The 1990's And I Have Never Forgotten It...I Attempted To Play It Myself...Hearing This Performance Of All 3 Preludes Has Inspired me To Tackle This Once Again..And I Must Say That I Am So Impressed With Eduardo's Performance Of All 3 Preludes...I Was Admittedly More Appreciative Of Prelude 2 Until I Heard Eduardo Perform These 3 Preludes With Such Eloquence.

      @@reev9759 Your statement is mildly humorous. Go back and watch the second prelude several hundred more times. The left hand is supposed to be played with 10ths, not rolled 10ths. Rolling is a compensatory movement.

    I really enjoy this man's playing. He really understands Debussy and gets the idiom perfectly. He is not restrained by an adherence to some idea of impressionism, nor does he allow the virtuosic passages to tempt him to show off a kind of virtuosity, which he has but is more appropriate for Liszt. He is always phrasing, and phrasing musically, expressively, and in a manner so right for Debussy's very particular style..beautiful interpretation...

    Since I'm only interested in the first prelude, here is my opinion: I liked the performance, but the forced speed just makes the stumbles you had unnecessary. I like the idea of using the pedal during the whole piece but then again it all seems like a forced style you thought of to sound over the top.

    • @Herbert.
      @Herbert. 5 років тому

      Agree very much. Some stumbles are quite fine, but the wrong notes in the parallel scales at the very end really killed it for me.
