Bloody incredible as normal, even the Schumann.

Did i really say that, cough.

Thanks Koji.

Thanks Thal--one of these days I'll convince you that Schumann is a worthwhile composer (I hope), heh.

[imbetter]

honestly thal, what is your problem exactly with schumann?

[mkaykov]

honestly, this "Kreiss" is in my top 5 fave recz now. The Liszt is gorgeous as well, you have an incredible technique, and your playing is very polished. I still can't believe that you can play like that LIVE.

Please post more



But this is from 2001, I am sure you play even better now..........

I bow before Koji the great.
How about something from my wardrobe in exchange for even a tenth of your power?  My Kiton tie collection isn't too shabby...  heh.

I have problem with Schumann too, but not with Op. 16.

Just wonderful playing, Koji.  I have listened to Schumann's Kreisleriana once, and my impression of it wasn't favorable, but hearing you makes me want to keep listening.

Wow what an astonishing recording !! Quite a while ago I read that this piece is one of the most important work of the romantic era. At that time I disliked it and even asked myself : " How can this boring piece be so popular" ?


But nowadays the kreisleriana is electryfing for me. I cannot get my ears off it!
Thanks for this video.

You played at Julliard? wow
