amazing. watching this has changed my whole attitude towards berezevsky. at first i thought he played too loudly - but i love the bass in the first chopin etude. in this video he is a musician of personality and beautiful russian overtones. i like his pianissimos in the opus 10 #5. and the tchaikovsky was one of the best i've heard. i like the impetus to it. it's not lazy. i think russian composers played by russian pianists - the best!
can you translate some of what he is saying?
also, where's part II?
ps i like the tuning on that piano (for tchaikovsky concerto) very very much. sometimes the tuning can make or break a performance. i mean, if you're constantly going 'ouch' in the high treble or low bass - but i like this mean tuning!
