what is the greatest Piano Video you have ever seen?

[stevie]

my no1 - cziffra BBC improvisation

its by far the most watched video on my computer

what about you guys?

[ryguillian]

I don't have a top video but I enjoy:

Cziffra's BBC improvisation
Hamelin's cadenza to  Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 (the rest is kinda flat)
Hamelin's Supervirtuoso Documentary (especially when he's playing Rzewski)
Glenn Gould performing J. S. Bach's Goldberg Variations

Hypothetical videos I'd love to watch:

Jonathan Powell performing any Sorabji work, especially "Op. Clav."
Hamelin performing Sorabji's First Piano Sonata
Finnissy performing Finnissy

—Ryan

[chromatickler]

apart from the obvious Hamelin and Cziffra:

ingolf wunder's 2 chopin etudes, sonata#3, grande polonaise from the chopin competition

pavel raikerous' liszt sonata, mazeppa, legend#2, BACH variations from the liszt competition

Michelangeli playing Scarlatti L.449 in b minor. Perfection, or as close as we can get and filmed from every angle, very instructive about how to do it all correctly.

Michelangeli playing the Ravel G major Concerto.

Any film of Horowitz, Gould or Richter playing anything.

Cziffra playing Liszt's Grand Galop Chromatique.

Myra Hess playing the "Appasionata" Sonata in f minor, op.57 mvt. 1 of Beethoven.

Michelangeli - Ravel Concerto in G
Argerich - Prokofiev 3rd

thanks stevie i will browse around. i also just watched the Rachmaninob, 2nd suite for 2 pianos with Argerich. i dont think ive seen anything like it.
i also have a recording of Alex Weissenberg playing Rach 2,but i wasnt too keen on some of the ideas he uses. a lot of it was played too slowly.

Sokolov live in Paris. The Beethoven Sonatas are amazing, to say nothing of the Prok #7.

And the best recording?

[stevie]

Horowitz - Barbirolli 1941

live....and dangerous, randomly

[Teddybear]

IMO it's outstanding. I haven't seen the video though, I'm not sure if it's the same as what I have on CD. As far as I understand, she gave two concerts that were recorded.

[westley]

Benno Moiseiwitsch playing  the Liszt-Wagner Overture to Tannhauser.

Its commercially availiable as part of EMI classics' Cziffra Disc.

[jamie_liszt]

Try this website... it also has the requested Hamelin Documentary.. but you'll need to use a download manager otherwise it downloads at about 3kb/s and it is 700mb...

I have loads of piano videos which i will upload if other people do... for a video thread... there is only one file uploaded!!! LOL

[steinwaymodeld]

for all u mentioned Yundi Li's La Camp video or live in Japan

too bad u have seen the abridged version

there is a full video of his full recital, which includes also the Chopin scherzo 2 and the FULL Liszt sonata (which i regard as the best vid of this piece, compared to several other ones i have)

It's one of my favorite video.

REcently got Ashkenazy's Gaspard/Picture in Exhibition/Scriabin sonata 6 video, fell in love with it.
