I think it`s appropriate to put some info about those pianists, not only videos.
Here are wiki links: Wilhelm Kempff, Glenn Gould

Sorry, no video links. But I will refer to recordings. Even better.
Mitsuko Uchida, especially at Mozart -- the A major and D minor concertos with Jeffrey Tate and London Chamber.
Alfred Brendel and almost any Haydn sonata. Such terrific music, so sadly overlooked and Brendel brings it all out to hear, doesn't fall into the "charming" trap so many do with Haydn.
Alicia de la Rocha. She's made a career of recording lesser known Spanish composers, but there's some really good stuff there.
Walter Gieseking (if you can find a recording) at Beethoven's Waldstein sonata. Astounding. Makes me hold my breath.
And yes, yes, yes, Glen Gould doing anything, especially Bach or Scriabin. He did everything wrong (posture, position of hands, crossing legs, etc.) but he did the one important thing right -- he focused on the music in the notes and bringing them to life.
There is nothing like classical music and the piano literature is the ultimate. |

You are so right about Glen Gould, TAP and there is a video I recently came up to with his special posture reason.
According to what is said about it is that he had a spine issue due to a trauma when he was very young,
so his father made this special chair for him which has been accompanying his performances ever since.

And that is what I came up with Waldstein sonata performed by Walter Gieseking

I hope you enjoy both!

Thank you, Irini!!! The Gieseking is a real treasure. I had not heard that in years and it still rocks me. Nobody was better than him at going from hammer to harp in sound and do it fluidly. Great composition and a fantastic performance.
An old piano instructor of mine said Gieseking was the student of a student of Czerny's, and so learned much of Beethoven's own approach to the music. Don't know if that's true or not, but he certainly was the best on this sonata.
Thanks! |
