Nothing beats the experience of a live act. At that moment the musician is so elated he/she feels capable of everything. The entire Universe is under the sheer energy and power of the performance. And it's all in the musician's hands, body, heart and soul.
TRUE! But, alas, to achieve this, one must gave up all his childhood and devote all his life to music! Like wizards, they do not exist separately from their art.
@@johnbanach3875 I don't know anyone who started as a teenager and succeeded in getting full skill? it is impossible. Like sports, has to be started young. Bruce Liu began to play the piano at eight years old and was performing by the age of eleven. The technique must be developed before puberty.
@@MishaSkripach not all of them gave up their childhood. Most of the good ones enjoyed playing piano as a kid. Doing what you love does not mean giving it up and for sure most of them had enough life experience by their adolescence to be able to express complex fellings like they did through music. That life experience is gained by living! I used to play 4h/day and had plenty of time to play as a kid and learn in normal school and read a lot of books and do everything else needed.
@@carolasandrakaty ALL OF THEM DID. I was talking about really outstanding musicians, not ordinary ones who have a degree. Giving up childhood to devote to music is not a bad thing, it is very enjoyable for those rare people. It is impossible for them to go to normal school. Four-five hours of practice+ solfege dictation lessons+chamber music and orchestra+ second instrument+composition+masterclasses, concerts, rehearsals, travelling to competitions. It is incompatible with normal school life, and none of those great musicians ever attended normal schools beyond age 7/ They don't have time for books either, just getting along with the minimal school curriculum is the maximum they can afford. Vengerov at age 9 thought that strawberries grow on trees, he was so busy learning. I am puzzled why you put yourself forward as an example, as pianist Sandra Popescu by age 34 has not even been spotted playing with an orchestra at all, and cannot be found anywhere playing? I was talking about the top talent, top achievers, not music teachers for nurseries?
@@MishaSkripach you are a little agresive, calm down. 1. School is different in different parts of the world. 2. I have changed my name after marriage, I am not 34 y.o. and I have not studied a second instrument (although I also sing as a soprano in a choir). You are right, I am not one of the greatest (at least not yet), but for sure I did not went to music school because my parents pushed me to, but because I wanted it. There are kids like that. Not all are pushed by the parents. Sorry if you probably fell like you lost your childhood. For me is fun, I somehow get to fell like a kid even now. I see age as a state of mind. The piano was my favorite toy. So... again, don't judge all the people by your experience. I know not all the great ones were like me, acknowledge that not all were like you. It is kind of a spectrum this presure that parents put sometimes. But that is not a lost childhood, not always. Ask the great ones how they think about their childhood if you only belive the "great ones".
I'm always perplexed by how awkward and seemingly contorted and tense Lang Lang's hands look, yet he shreds. I'm not a huge fan of his playing, but the dude has bizarrely powerful technique.
Lang Lang is one of the greatest performers alive today. I don’t care if he comes out with a flamingo on his head. To play like that, he’s got my respect. Y’all have got to come to grips with reality: some folks are a little different. It’s what makes them great, and if it spills over into visible tics or “grimaces” as some like to say, that’s ok. Doesn’t bother me one bit UNTIL they start doing LIberace with practiced grins and comedy. Lang Lang is able to play what he feels, and his face goes along with it. Don’t embarrass him. support him. Tell him it’s ok. Not that he gives a damn at this point, but it’s the principle of the thing.
Although I'm the last person to compare Wang to Horowitz, give Caesar her due: that is among the only technically flawless versions of that insane cadenza in a live recording, and she is ALWAYS like that.
@@fredfeinberg3995 Yes, but without getting into a big debate, there's still a huge confusion that will live forever: technique is NOT about playing cleanly, it's only part of the technique. EVERYTHING is technique: having expression is technique, singing the melody is technique, having independent voices (like Horowitz) is technique, controlling tempo is technique, internalizing the music is technique (which Lang doesn't have), etc.
@@beecolor Yes, of course. People have been saying this since Hofmann and Rachmaninoff, but I guess it still hasn't penetrated. I once read something on UA-cam like "Lang Lang is the greatest pianist of modern and historical times". And all I could think is "it's sad if you live in a universe where you've heard recordings by Richter (and so many others) and can still think that." I recall one great quote from Jorge Bolet, "Nothing kills excitement like mere velocity". YES. I do have a sore point with this: Argerich. It makes me insane when people say "OK, so she can play fast", as if that's why she is world-famous. Feh!

@@tatjanasiljeg2429 that's the right choice, his faces ruin the music he plays. Not sure why he makes those expressions, I think he makes them on purpose. They don't look natural or spontaneous.
The reason he makes face is the express the music. For example if the B theme is angry the he will make an angry face if the C theme is sad the he will make a sad face it just means he’s really in the music. So when he played the octaves in the Rachmaninov concerto and he opens he’s mouth just really means he’s really in the music. He may not make the right faces or expressions and they may be weird, but it just means he’s really in the music.
@@frédéricchopinFan.9479 - yes, they want that it seem so... The thing is that one can play without such expressions... But then again - he is such a great pianist that everything is ok...😉
This is a performing art. They are adding their physical beings in to performing. I love it. If it's what I tell my own students. If you sit there unmoving no one will watch you play for very long. Love this video.
I just love how that chaos within the pianists manifested in the keys. The men look like they could be a villain in an Anime or movie. But women are so masterful at channeling intense emotions. Chaos manifested in the female pianists playing but their facial expressions did not change much . Ladies and gentlemen Bravo! Encore!
Ça transpire, ça éructe, ça souffle, ça grimace, un vrai magma musical organisé part des brutes, ou des dactylographes, allez savoir, ou la musique dans tout ça? heureusement Yuja Wang fait de la musique avec élégance et bien sûr Horowitz tout de même .
No les pasa que cuando ven interpretar una pieza demasiado rápido sienten que no suena como debería, algo asi me pasó con friska, igualmente que increíble manera de derrochar virtuosismo 🙌🏻
The world's greatest pianist is noticeably absent from this selection, possibly because he makes light of any of these kind of pieces and instead of "destroying" the piano for shallow effect, he actually favours music over acrobatics. Nice work Yuja Wang and Sokolov!

Buniatishvilli missed out or messed up or mashed in every tempi that rhapsody offers, which is all those physically possible. It's reaffirming to know she can pull off a dazzler, but things do come in a certain order. Even rhapsodies.
@@KenhelExcallius Yes, it was a cadenza and Khatia is the only one (on this video) who never beats the piano. She is kind! Cziffra's notes are heavy at this speed. To me this is the most important aspect: The sound itself. The same thing with the violin... A phrase... It sounds rough... To me it's over. I stop listening.
@@cynthiabeltran1680 oh for me Cziffra is just clean, there are also times where he’s able to keep up speed and maintain a soft and light tone, as seen in his hr 6 and hr4 octave runs at the end
From the comments, I was expecting Khatia’s performance to be a disaster. Turned out to be amazing! Even when she plays wrong notes, she plays them right. It’s not one of my favorite pieces, and I don’t have the score, but that was what I want to hear from that piece. And she’s the one I want to see playing it! Incroyable! My overall take on this post is that most of the listeners commenting here are a bunch of spoiled whiners who couldn’t come near the worst of these performers. Not even far. You guys are criticizing way above your pay grade. I enjoyed the whole video. Yeah, I know about the wrong notes. Doesn’t freaking matter, guys and girls. These were great performances and the audiences stood up, I guarantee.
Matsuev is crazy.))) Play it slower, bring mystery to the performance. So is Lang-Lang, Khatia (what a show body))), Yuja. Gosh, where is a music art gone?
@@kunikpianokhatia is one of the most outstanding contemporary pianists who is known and loved all over the world. before criticizing and making perverted remarks about her body, make a successful career for yourself. a cultured audience does not care about khatia’s dress or her décolletage, i can’t say the same for you
@@chuziano9974 She chose to wear a dress that barely covers her boobs. If she didn't want people to notice then she should have worn something more modest. Also nothing about what kunik said was perverse, he merely said she had a beautiful body. You need to get over yourself.
p.s. I wonder why actual great female pianists like de Larrocha, Pires, Argerich, Grimaud, Uchida, Hewitt etc. never feel the need to dress up like strippers? hmmmmm......
@@SunAndMoon-zc9vd because there are tons of missed notes, inappropriately fast tempi for the style of music, and grimacing and clowning around, which is vulgar and repulsive.
Magnífica recopilación. Por supuesto que son interpretaciones muy personales de la música, pero la mnimetacion de ellos con la música es tal que son poseídos por ella en sus emociones y lo transmiten en su genial interpretación, que escandaliza a los puristas, pero son momentos en que su sensibilidad se encuentra al borde y se desboca en la interpretación.!!!! Gracias por proporcionarnos estas oportunidades únicas
ну у нас и в фигурном катании уже прыжки на коньках, а здесь бой по клавишам, кто наконец-то добьет инструмент, я так и ждала, что клавиши вывалятся, как в знаменитом диснеевском мультике))))))
этим грешат многие пианисты. т.к. конкуренция большая, а выделяться хочется, но я предпочитаю слушать музыку, которую написали композиторы. а не тот фарс, в который превращают ее некоторые самовлюбленные исполнители (про вымя вообще молчу, детей на такие концерты водить нельзя, это 18+, бесстыдница какая-то. ладно, еще низ прикрыт и инструмент целый))))
@@Paroles_et_Musique she recognized to be a control freak like Bartok. But she does feel uncomfortable on stage. Even if it doesn't appear on her face. It's all about music and loving the grand piano. When she plays bumblebee, your hear a piano sound. As when Lang Lang plays it, you actually ear a bumblebee.
im rrally sorry but this is to listen to their virtuosity, not for some boring old normal way of playing, each pianisthave their interpretations, making each recording sound unique, so if u really hate it then bye
And there was silly old me, thinking music was something to be enjoyed. I never realised that it was actually a speeding competition. Oh well, I guess it's just another of life's little pleasures I can knock off the list
No matter what all you critics say. Everyone is incredible!! There memory for one is out of this world. I would say the hours of practice they have to put in would be incredible. Enjoy what they do. And yes I play!😊
Beeindruckend. Aber es ist schon bei manchen Stücken erstaunlich, was einem als "Musik" verkauft wird ..... Und bei den Pianisten wird gepfuscht, was das Zeug hält - sonst wären die Stücke auch völlig unspielbar.
You can tell that these pianists love the art and have fun playing the piano. You may also tell that they are slightly insane.

My overall take on this post is that most of the listeners commenting here are a bunch of spoiled whiners who couldn’t come near the worst of these performers. Not even far. You guys are criticizing way above your pay grade. I enjoyed the whole video. Yeah, I know about the wrong notes. Doesn’t freaking matter, guys and girls. These were great performances and the audiences stood up, I guarantee.
Хорошо, только это не искусство, а спорт и цирк
Don't need to be a pianist to tell that people faking a seizure while playing an instrument does not look entertaining lol
I dropped my pride and beliefs to the bottom of my mind and enjoyed these awesome performances. Brutal!!
Matsuev is crazy.))) Play it slower, bring mystery to the performance. So is Lang-Lang, Khatia (what a show body))), Yuja. Gosh, where is a music art gone?
you fixating on khatia’s body is extremely gross😨 just shows your “appreciation” of her artistry
@@chuziano9974 May it is her, who has to show some appreciation to the music, she plays and to an audience!
@@kunikpianokhatia is one of the most outstanding contemporary pianists who is known and loved all over the world. before criticizing and making perverted remarks about her body, make a successful career for yourself. a cultured audience does not care about khatia’s dress or her décolletage, i can’t say the same for you
@@chuziano9974 She chose to wear a dress that barely covers her boobs. If she didn't want people to notice then she should have worn something more modest. Also nothing about what kunik said was perverse, he merely said she had a beautiful body. You need to get over yourself.
p.s. I wonder why actual great female pianists like de Larrocha, Pires, Argerich, Grimaud, Uchida, Hewitt etc. never feel the need to dress up like strippers? hmmmmm......
Sure some of these performances is bad but the comments are hugely disrespectful to many great pianists
Agreed
If we could play the piano we wouldn't be doing comments
@@alguien9710 hopefully you wouldn’t play the piano like this.
@@AntonPolezhayev Why do you hope he/she wouldn't play the piano like the pianists in this video?
@@SunAndMoon-zc9vd because there are tons of missed notes, inappropriately fast tempi for the style of music, and grimacing and clowning around, which is vulgar and repulsive.
Piano is addicting, painful and so worth it.
At first I was thinking it will be the 1st guy doing that for 14 minutes, and I was wondering how is he not going to die in the process 🤣
Music destroyed. Pianos are fine.
Sometime I wonder what's the point of them smashing the keys 😂
@@KarieWei Because people who have the technique capable of it are exhilarated by it.
@@alhfgsp makes a lot of sense...
Excellent
@@KarieWei pianos have little hammer that are directly influenced by the force applied on the keys, so hitting harder makes the sound louder
10:06 that blew me the fck away. Can't even play those octaves with my right hand at that speed.
Tom & Jerry would love these. 🐈 🐭
When I was 17 years old, I would have been impressed by this video...
I am not 17 any more.
Magnífica recopilación. Por supuesto que son interpretaciones muy personales de la música, pero la mnimetacion de ellos con la música es tal que son poseídos por ella en sus emociones y lo transmiten en su genial interpretación, que escandaliza a los puristas, pero son momentos en que su sensibilidad se encuentra al borde y se desboca en la interpretación.!!!!
Gracias por proporcionarnos estas oportunidades únicas
тогда надо называть это каверами, а не исполнением оригинала
Very entertained by Mr Lang Langs amazement at his own performance. A sort of gurning, I suppose.
Это уже не музыка, а "спорт высших достижений".
И цирк..
это полная деградация пианистического искусства, а если еще и с учетом новейшей орфографии, то дигродация.
Oui, cest honteux.
ну у нас и в фигурном катании уже прыжки на коньках, а здесь бой по клавишам, кто наконец-то добьет инструмент, я так и ждала, что клавиши вывалятся, как в знаменитом диснеевском мультике))))))
@@georgtrakl8319 +1000, это можно слушать только один раз, чтобы испугаться, или показывать как пример того, как не должны играть учащиеся)))))
She has massive tracks and a great piano player to boot! 😉
1:33 You can’t tell me these mafackas aint possessed
That direct eye contact threw me off 😅
1:38 me when I leave my phone at home
Should be considered as criminal offense to piano
When you got a job to do, but want to go home early.
А ведь некоторые балдеют от его игры.... Дурновкусие, желание произвести эффект на слушателя, используя силу
Ланг Ланг - пианист номер один, а тебе слушать лучше шансон.
этим грешат многие пианисты. т.к. конкуренция большая, а выделяться хочется, но я предпочитаю слушать музыку, которую написали композиторы. а не тот фарс, в который превращают ее некоторые самовлюбленные исполнители (про вымя вообще молчу, детей на такие концерты водить нельзя, это 18+, бесстыдница какая-то. ладно, еще низ прикрыт и инструмент целый))))
@@olenkayk Welcome to the West. People take their children to a lot worse places here.
@@SeraphimLeo да, я наслышана о западных ценностях))))))))
The most phenomenal thing is that someone wrote the music. They’re just playing something that already exists
Birds have natural ears'caps when they sing. What about pianists ? Yuja Wang IS the best, staying cristal clear even in these furia's passages.
yes, but she doesn't take any risk. She controls everything, including emotions.
@@Paroles_et_Musique she recognized to be a control freak like Bartok. But she does feel uncomfortable on stage. Even if it doesn't appear on her face. It's all about music and loving the grand piano. When she plays bumblebee, your hear a piano sound. As when Lang Lang plays it, you actually ear a bumblebee.
@@LaurentPingaultLyon I agree, Lang Lang's bumblebee is phenomenal, no one is even close.
Third pianist in red kept my focus
@Cagdeorok That is Khatia Buniatishvili
I can feel the pain of those pianos 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Too much emphasis on speed and volume. Gave me an awful headache. And i actually like some of these pieces, played properly.
I agree
thisisto show virtuosity sosorry
im rrally sorry but this is to listen to their virtuosity, not for some boring old normal way of playing, each pianisthave their interpretations, making each recording sound unique, so if u really hate it then bye
And there was silly old me, thinking music was something to be enjoyed. I never realised that it was actually a speeding competition.
Oh well, I guess it's just another of life's little pleasures I can knock off the list
@@margaretcorfield9891 wait. I didnt realize that it was actually sth like a speeding competition. Youre all right
Why do they always look nuts
💛💛💛💛
No matter what all you critics say. Everyone is incredible!! There memory for one is out of this world. I would say the hours of practice they have to put in would be incredible. Enjoy what they do. And yes I play!😊
Buniatishvilli’s Hungarian Rhapsody 2 was an awful mess!
She is a sloppy pianist
This is Horowitz Version, which is
@@FranzLiszt0904 which is what?
@@FranzLiszt0904Sloppy
Is she making fun of us?????
I couldn't tell the difference between the two. They both seem magnificent. What's that you say? There was more than one pianist?
His faces are ok with his amazing technique
which one
Excellent compilation of talent✨👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
4:45 When you're trying to stay serious.
Anyone else here wondering what it might feel like to have a pianist like these, play one of these songs on your back and spine?!
Beeindruckend. Aber es ist schon bei manchen Stücken erstaunlich, was einem als "Musik" verkauft wird .....
Und bei den Pianisten wird gepfuscht, was das Zeug hält - sonst wären die Stücke auch völlig unspielbar.
the cziffra transition to horowitz is clean af
Looking at the facial expressions of Langx2, I am truly destroyed...
yep, he is an idiot but play pretty good.
It’s not just rockstars who drink Pepsi…I MEAN COKE!!!!
Why I learned violin: to watch soloists from stage left 😂
