The best to me remains the one from La Scala. Still, this is unmatched - try to think of one pianist able to bring together the dynamics, the harmonics, the inventivity, the voicings, all while remain pretty close to the original.
I'm so burnt out on this tune. I can't even listen. OK, he is good with it. I just can't take it any more. I don't want to play this tune. Please do not request this song. Have Ben Franklin ready if you want me to play this stupid song.
Had never heard this version, and I think it's stunning - it has more improvised elements than the others I've heard.
Fascinating to hear this and follow the transcription after getting to know the Tokyo 1984 version (which I still prefer though).

No grunting and whining in the background? This piano player is an imposter! 😅
