I guess one of the most colorful rendition of this piece, coming from one of the most underrated pianist ever. I always felt , speaking with other pianists, Bolet never considered among the greatest of all time, but he really is. Great virtuoso and amazing musician. Thanks to you for sharing this gem😊
There's an incredible live recording of him playing the lucia di lammermoor fantasy somewhere on youtube. He had such incredible lyricism and power when he was young. The way he fills the hall near the climax is incredible. Really is one of my favorite recordings of all time.
Thank you for this valuable upload! Love this beautiful sensitive and powerful interpretation but not my favourite (that being Tozer) because of the tempo. But still the way he plays the arpeggiated section is absolutely stunning and triumphant and he truly makes it sound like a climax.
Bolet shows that color over speed gives a long but interesting interpretation. The passion is there, especially in that sad aria in B minor, the textures are so huge too. Though not my cup of tea its definitely not like any recording, The voicing is very clear , after all, Jorge Bolet himself studied under Leopold Godowsky.

Underrated pianists - there are so many Lee Luvisi, David Saperton, to name a few, are even more underrated than Jorge Bolet
