He's one of the most underrated pianists of all time. His recordings of Tombeau de Couperin and Petrushka are definitive. A true giant with real personality in his playing.
I´m a cellist but his technique inspired me to develop the elasticity, flexibility and relaxation of my hands. And he also inspired me to create music in every piece I play. Thak you Maestro!
-- Superbe enregistrement du Concerto N°3 de Rachmaninov que dirigeait Georges Prêtre en 1969, et qui s'est éteint aujourd'hui à l'âge de 92 ans. Alexis Weissenberg en soliste. De la grande & belle musique. Hommage. --
Never heard this guy's version before and although I prefer the ossia cadenza the sheer musicianship, technical style and power are awesome. Different aspects of the music are brought out and it's not just a "see what a good technician I am" exercise. The ensemble between soloist, orchestra and conductor is - in the most complimentary sense - chamber-music like! These guys are 'listening' to each other!
è un brano cosi maledettamente difficile che per essere eseguito come questo gigante l'ha eseguito devi diventare tu stesso il brano altrimenti non ce n'è per nessuno.
I agree. I think he could have taken a little bit more time with it, but spectacular, no doubt. BTW, loved the camera direction. Plenty of chances to see the hand position.

The shorter cadenza is the better one.😊🎹🎼🎶
Gracias Emilio Pessina , thanks for allow me to listen such a wonderfull interpretation Gris
Thank you for posting this -- WOW!
absolutely fantastic!!
Great pianist composer and Director, I love this concert its the most Griselda Ghilarducci
amazing..
è il massimo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Weissenberg : un son dur et un jeu sans concession, mais une vision panoramique des oeuvres... Pas souvent joli, mais toujours profond...
l'unico ad andare in un'altra dimensione con questo concerto senza il guinzaglio della fedeltà allo spirito del compositore
SI
Touched

Superb...equal in its own way to the Horowitz recordings.
best short Cadenza after Horowitz
perfettamente d'accordo!

Where is the cadenza? (00.00)
(12:15 Cadenza)
Strepitoso....
