Super! Especial magnificent 3d part, from 21:57... Wonderful music and Its performance!

Lewis manages to showcase Schubert's anguish in the most nuanced way. The music turns into a blur for pure emotion to stand in sharp focus. This is ART.

Thanks

Magnificent! Exquisite interpreter. Thank you. Love it.
"Writing in The Daily Telegraph, Geoffrey Norris said, "There is in Lewis's playing a strong physicality, a firm connection between his deep thinking about the music and his articulation of it. He knows and can define its character, and can show how its rhythmic, harmonic and melodic components coalesce. This was playing of intellectual rigour and imaginative vigour."

Love him too!

This is no pianist, he's a wizard. 😁

[@literaine6550]

Seriously, I didn't realize how beautiful this piece is until I heard this pianist.

[@JivrajNoor]

Only modern day pianist who can get to the soul of the music of Schubert and Beethoven.. Brendel written all over his music... others are all note perfect without an iota of feeling for the idiom, time, place ...

Magnifique interprétation magique

[@Dhalia1800]

Me gusta mucho Lewis interpretando a Schubert, expresividad clara y sensible, ausencia de exceso dramático y virtuoso.

[@mario99ize]

Un interpretación llena de imaginación y magia !!!!!!!

[@davidaltschuler9687]

His Schubert playing is so good; I can't figure out why his Beethoven sonata cycle is mediocre.

Opens like a Black Sabbath riff

Yes. It also reminds me of Pictures at an Exhibition.
