@@SCRIABINIST Dante seems to me way harder than this. Here, as in much of Bortkiewicz's music, all passagework lies well under the hands without extremes
I read through it and it is rather easy. If you're just comparing it to some other lesser known piano sonatas it is way easier than the second one by Scharwenka or the Paderewski which are two of my favourites. It is written so as to lie very well under the hands. In fact it is almost too easy which might be part of the reason many pianists won't bother with it.
i haven't heard much of this recording yet but sumero is usually very good. although it is sad that so few others have recorded Bortkiewicz sonatas and piano concertos
He is good, but it is hard to beat the kind of attention to detail like Zimmerman doing over 70 takes on the Liszt sonata. Somero's playing can sometimes have a rushed quality, which kind of makes sense because he records so much stuff.
I find this performance quite unbearable! Somero is making every note equally important, which results in nothing being important. Where are the singing melodies? Where are the inner voices? EVERYTHING is played with the exact same "clarity" - VARY the texture for sanity's sake!
@@neo9560 my understanding is so far above yours that you cannot understand it. You lack true understanding of form in music, your shitty textbooks don't actually teach you how to compose a sonata like mozart.
had goosebumps for all the sonata, one of the most underrated compers
This piece is so beautiful and ridiculously difficult...
It's pretty approachable if you can play Chopin's Sonatas or Schumann/Liszt Sonatas well. But again, those pieces aren't for all the piano players
@@SCRIABINIST Liszts sonata lol
@@Bozzigmupp Yeah, I think this piece is definitely easier than the Liszt B Minor, harder than Dante though

Nie znałem wcześniej muzyki tego kompozytora, ale bardzo mi się spodobała. Późny romantyzm to miód na moje uszy :)
Jeśli chodzi o póżny romantyzm, Bortkiewicz jest jednym z najlepszych. Polecam jego koncerty fortepianowe (szczególnie drugi).
So many scales, at times sounds like a virtuoso piano exercise. A beautiful piano exercise.
I definitely can see Chopin influence but this is still very highly original
Absolutely.
I see some schumann
I see some piano
@@damiangilz I see some music
1:20/19:26 (gotta love thematic reappearances)
Absolutely
Fantastic! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank You!
Thank you Mr. Somero :)
Beautiful😍
third movement? the absolute best. (don’t judge me by my opinion)
a true banger
Nice
2:33 holy shit

A bit sloppy but the 2nd movement was played really well!

Баланс между руками нулевой.....

@@nandovancreijпонимаю...постараюсь выучить эту сонату к своему концерту.
The Russians are the best Italians. Nothing to do about it. 🤣
Borkiewicz from Kharkiv
very incoherent form
I’m starting to think you actually don’t understand composition lmao
