i dare say that this is the single most fantastic interpretation of this amazing piece.
No, that would be Jorge Luis Prats' interpretation. And a much nicer playing style too.
I agree too...

@Joshua Mallory OBRIGADA não sou mentirosa nem fofoqueira .
what about seong jin cho in 2012???
Exquisite. Every single note. One of the best performances I've ever heard of this piece, and I've heard very many.
I like this rendition relative to other interpretations because it is simply so beautifully phrased. There’s always a direction and a flow in his music, while others achieve very little of the musicality but more so the technical aspects of Ravel’s challenging piece. Well played!
This is so far, the piano performance of the century! Amazing! The FAZIOLI piano is also amazing!
This is so well phrased. The control, the virtuosity, is admirable. Also, I think your posture looks a bit like Gould's, especially in the beginning haha
Absolutely beautiful interpretation! The usage of legato and pedaling is so on point towards the main motivation of the original piece that it just blends so perfectly, capturing the beautiful side of Ravel's brilliant compositional style! Bravó!
The apotheosis of the waltz. The ultimate creation, self-implosion and laying to rest of the waltz forever. Instead of coffee, I listen to this piece every morning before work to get me going.
This is not an interpretation, but the essence of the Waltz. You are not just a great pianist, you are a great musician, because you know all the secrets of the musical discourse's articulation and the direction of the phrases, moreover, you have the domain on agogic and on every sound quality. Truly exceptional!
My back hurts from watching this
8:25 - I have never seen anything as smooth as this passage
Also the 8:50 😍
Holy smokes! Great technique!
Lyrical. Very well phrased. I love this.
unbelievable, fabulous, tremendous: super-élégance et super-délicatesse!
I'm smiling because I can't believe what I just heard. Who needs an orchestra when you have that?
Breathtakingly beautiful!!
Fantastic performance!
This performer shows an excellent personality and attitude along with great playing!
So refined! Amazing performance!
wonderful colors, and a marvelous waltz lilt!
Bravo Maestro! Such passion and elegance are very apparent! Thank you!
Amazing!!!!!.
Sensational. To make this as delicate and robust and melodic and effortless tells us what a talent Giltburg is.
Absolutely tremendous!!! Bravo !!! You and the piano are the one ! Thank you for your talent ❤
This is the best phrasing of this piece I've heard in a while!
Bravo maestro! There are very few times in one's lifetime that we get to hear such a perfect performance played with such assurance and passion! Thank you.
Can get enough of this wonderful music played heavenly by Boris
Bravo!!!!!!
A MASTERPIECE played WONDERFULLY !!!!!!!
Divine! Great artist!
I absolutely love his playing.
An excellent performance of rare quality, daring and color. Absolutely beautiful.
wonderful
The ending climax is amazing!
respect make new masterpiece in the world. amazing
Boris Giltburg is a wonderful Pianist, very talented, charismatic and attentive to his public. Always with excellent performance. Excellent video♥️👏
bravo, bravo, braviisssimmo.........priviliged to hear it.....wow...
Yesterday I heard this valse for the first time. It is an extremely powerful piece, very typical of Ravel. A real beauty. I was instantly hooked. I listened to 4 interpretations from 4 famous pianists. All very impressive, but non had the clarity and expression that you show with this extraordinary valse. This is definitely my favorite interpretation.
Nice I've ever been seen !:)
Thanks!
when boris plays 'the angels put aside everything they do and gather to listen. he makes the piano into a new instrument i have never heard before. i will be so bold as to say he is the new rubinstein.
+toothless toe - keep your opinions to yourself toothless.
Oh I don't think so moron.
You know tooth, if your english were better we would all take your comments more seriously. You missed a nuance there, sport.
his way to play the glissando sounds refreshing 😮
Magnifique interprétation de La Valse, la meilleure que j'ai pu entendre pour piano solo. La fougue, la sensibilité, la retenue et le rubato savamment dosés ! En prime mes deux passages préférés me font toujours un sacré effet (7:16 le plus romantique et de 12:20 à 12:25 qui est pour moi l'un des plus beaux enchaînements harmoniques à effet dramatique !!)
Wonderful Pianist!
Il joue le meilleur jamais ’La valse’.
L'air de Belle Epoque a été relancé maintenant.
Bravooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!! (^0^)
What a hidden internet gem
Transcendent music. Transcendent performance.
I love your technique. It is incredible, and your interpretation is really beautiful.
Watching 3 years later, and this is STILL just an absolutely awesome performance of La Valse!!
8 years later
@@Ariel-kk4gm Nope, 3 years later ;-) First watched it in 2016 and the comment you responded to is 3 years old! The "3 years later" comment is relative to my earlier post on this performance 6 years ago (It says: Holy smokes! Great technique!). But yes I was very late to the party...
4:49 B flat scale
COMO É LINDA ESSA PEÇA !!!!NOFIM EU SEMPRE CHORO PORQUE TEM UMA HISTÓRIA MUITO TRISTE ESSA OBRA DE ARTE .
Not really sad; more like schizophrenic. The waltz starts slow and tonal, then slowly goes into an atonal mess [not in a bad way], up to that insane finish after “Mouvt de debut”. It’s like the waltz starts off Romantic, then slowly descends into chaos.
11:05 such control
Totally agreed
Immense pianiste !!!!!
I hope he has a good orthopedist
My thoughts too. He is giving up his future health for his art. Stunning performance, but at what price.
@@Vincent-ig2cb At what price? So you are saying his playing wouldn't be as good if he didn't contort his body like a circus performer? There are greater pianists who keep their backs completely straight - Hamelin, for example. Also, go watch Jorge Luis Prats in this piece. What a wonderful relaxed style he has. He barely moves, yet produces the most thunderous fortissimos, and his hands seem to glide on the keyboard. I can watch his playing for hours - not so with Giltburg, who has a style almost painful to watch. And Prats gives a superior account of this work.
you prolly dont give a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can watch all the latest series on InstaFlixxer. Have been streaming with my brother these days :)
@Ahmed Ryan Yup, I have been watching on InstaFlixxer for years myself =)
@@bigfrank9648 couldnt care less how one conducts themselves in front of the piano when they produce such results.
When I look at Boris I get a very strong feeling that he'll soon get up from the grand piano and start to sing "Cortigiani vil razza dannata"
The interpretation was so clear and romantic. Others played so confused and messing
His crescendo inevitable
Completely exposed! Fantastic!
I've known this performance for years and my back still hurts just watching this
Wow
I like the glissando parts. The glissando is vital yet can be quite messy, but this interpretation suggests a great compromise.
Beautifull, also the FaZioli is so transparent
Never saw this player before and I am blown away. BY FAR the best version of la valse I have heard. Unbeatable play of the melodies. Logical melodies like Richter or Gilels, but at the same time amazing freshness and playfulness. What a treasure!! Why do music labels try to make us listen to Lang Lang and the likes??
I love his glissandos.
Such eccentric mannerisms but actually quite beautiful playing.
With his mannerisms, Giltburg is not as bad as Lang Lang who always reminds me of Chico Marx. But agreed, this is beautiful playing by Giltburg.
Boris, can you describe de adaptations you use in your version? This is so beautiful... I am amazed by your interpretation. May be a quarentene tutorial video!
É A HISTORIA DELECOMO SE FOSSE UMA AUTO BIOGRAFIA !!!!!
great performance, but also what fantastic sounding piano. Sounds so different, & sparkly compared to your Steinways & Bosendorfers (however good they may be)
It's an interesting sounding piano but I do prefer a Steinway, Bosendorfer, or Bechstein for recreational listening.
好多細節 厲害
helal
His stting style is why stickers for protecting someone's back were attached on his back :(
Hh h I agree, I love his sound but can't bear to watch him. Boris should learn from Benjamin Grosvenor and Dannil Trifonov who both corrected their posture at the piano without affecting their sound.
Please! Please! Where can I get a recording of this on CD?
Haven't recorded it yet, sorry! But will do in 2021 or 2022.
@@BorisGiltburgPiano Thank you!
Posture reminds me of Glenn Gould !
1807951 yes... Very great talent Giltburg, “but” G.G. is number one here (his own transcription of “La Valse”).
Oka
Is it his own transcription of the piece? I would bet so. He kills it
Top notch
It is Ravel's own.

lol that glissando
მთელი ფერთა პალიტრა❤😇👏👏👏
12:04
That hit failed hurts me 😭
5:05 I have never heard or seen a pianist excuse those quick glissandos as well as this pianist
best to none performance
I see Daniel Day-Lewis has taken up the piano.
fantastic, ça respire, il est avec chaque note, intervalle, ce n'est pas du tout étouffant, il prend le temps de chanter, interprétation particulière et fine !
This man has a technical skill that is awesome. I found that the performance was frenetic but skillfully played. I feel, after playing it myself and studying with professionals, the flow of the music was lacking especially the loud and soft contrasts which left me with a certain unease about the waltz. He is to be commended in that he can render this difficult composition in an agreeable manner. I wish him only the best for his career.
Nope... the piano itself was crappy as fuck.
That's a Fazioli... Which is not to say that it couldn't be out of whack, but I find it hard to believe whoever owns it isn't taking care of it...
For me, it was exactly the sudden contrasts between loud and soft that made the performance so novel, captivating, and intentionally frenetic - as if one was listening to the thoughts of someone suffering with bi-polar disorder!
12분 거기서 어떻게
저렇게치지????
this is like if godowsky made a symphonic metamorphosis on one of his symphonic metamorphosises
世界一の ラ ヴァルス
Какое счастье вместе с исполнителями при коснуться к гению великого Сергея Васильевича Рахманинова!!! Россия, так горячо любимая композитором, в каждом звуке этого грандиозного творения _ от завораживающей красоты, покоя и тишины до экстатических взлетов, захватывающей экспрессии и Вселенского жизнеутверждения!!! Браво. браво оркест ру, дирижёру, столь самозабвенно исполнивших концерт! А у Бориса Г. какая _ то особая, таинс твенная связь с соч. Рахманинова!!! Это уже слышно в исполнении Прелюдий. Всё захватывающие правдиво, наполнено безбрежной красотой, в местах подъёмов, запредельная высота, масштаб, рояль звучит как набат.!!! Браво!!!
this is not rachmaninoff??
Ravel!!!!!
Boris, does your back hurt from slumping over so much at the piano?
Not a human being
Not a fan of this instrument... despite a deeply musical rendition!! 👌🏻
