Nice playing too!

It sounds gorgeous...

Incredible unique cadenza!

I know this is a piano masterpiece, but I want an orchestral version so bad.

Great performance!!!! I’m in tears

This is unbelievable.

Back in the "good old days" (pre 1994) Bechstein concert grands sounded just fine without the duplex scale

I had time to listen to both parts of this recital just today. Superb Zhukov playing here, with both the Scriabin and Chopin. The latter's Sonata #3 is astounding here (despite the video glitches). Thank you, Peter, for being the archivist of Maestro Zhukov's television performances. I'm off to view the December 1997 Moscow recital.

What a gem! Thank you for posting.

Make Wooden Dildos Great Again!

Exquise...

I wonder if the symphony would have sounded different if Maestro Sanderling's collar had been turned down.

Piano is an amazing instrument, can transmit a whole range of emotions, im still discovering some trough listening to music now at 40 years at age

Мастер! !!

Bingo

He did the optional note at the end!!

Very nice. I've got one from 1872-3 (serial# 5771). Full size, straight-strung, too. Less reinforcing on the frame, sound is more brittle / bell-like, but great clarity. It would be interesting to compare them.

Fantastico a dir poco, non sapevo di questa meraviglia fino ieri

Hi Peter, Very nice sound and good performance. What model is it, and who restored it?

Nice

Shostakovich's compassion & understanding of the flawed human soul runs through all his music like a golden thread. I just pray someone like him is running the universe.

I cannot believe that he doesn't wear glasses! It should be impossible to read the text without glasses in his age...

This is so astonishingly awful ... but it _is_ hilarious how little he gives a shit, which seems to be the main value in this video.

I did a post of this to the piano sub at Reddit and it got 3 upvotes. A user gave an award as well. I hope Peter doesn't mind that I did that.

Such a brooding meditation. Captures the spirit of the piece completely.

Discovered you through Reddit. Heart-rending perfection and soul in the music (and the thing of envy - your technique.) Hope to listen and learn more from you, Mr. Lemken.

25:10 The transition back into the main theme, out of the darkness, this it where it gets me. Shostakovich was so awesome in those transitions. Something related is the return into the main theme in Sym 5/1, where he pitches all violins up to go to that key. Shostakovich was the best composer of the 20th century, I hope one day there is a successor.

Absolutely stunning

Start at 00:54

Great piece!

Very interesting interpretation in Chopin. I loved the way he considered the entire opus as a whole, tying the preludes together when necessary

Möglich

Manni bei der Arbeit

間違いなく一期一会・世界最高の８番、ＮＨＫは早く権利関係をクリアしてハイブリッドＳＡＣＤ化もしくはＤＶＤ化することを望む

I'm completely confused by this one. Skipped over it, but cannot find mvmts 3 and 4. But still it's 50 minutes.???

nice👍😎

Not only is the performance superior, but the camera work is a symphony in and of itself. Beautifully filmed.

A more introverted and sophisticated work than the first concerto. A work for the connoisseur. For grownups.

37:20 trumpeter looks like Manfred honeck

One of the best "Gaspard" I have heard from him. Pianists play "Scarbo" faster nowadays to show their virtuosity.

天空の城ラピュタの翌年なんだよねこの演奏

I like the doubling of the bass in the ultimate chord.

Bei aller Achtung vor dieser großen Pianistin - diese Aufnahme tut ihr keinen Gefallen. Sie ist verwaschen, hallig, undeutlich. Es lingt, als ob die Solistin in den virtuosen Oktaven-Passagen allzu reichlich Pedal nimmt und das Ganze macht einen verschwommenen Eindruck!

Awesome!

Dear Mr. Lemken. I am contacting you to ask if you can provide me with some more information about this piano. I recently bought a 1897 Bösendorfer concert grand (260cm long, 92 keys) and i'm in search for information about this model. May i have your email address to send you some pics and details? Regards from Italy.

Perhaps the worst canera angle in recorded history..... At least, the music comes through.

The beginning of Wilde Jagd feels so WILD, like a hunt. I love how he stops the chords, like firing from a rifle. It feels also like a hunt horn.

МИСТЕРИА ! MYSTERY ! მისტერია! ❤

muy buen registro

thank you for sharing this beautiful symphony and the wonderful interpretation
