mvdbergrede: You must know very little of classical music.
Eever heard of the term 'rubato'?
freestylerja16: I first heard this on nip tuck...and I'll
never forget that scene...
wanderingalibi: Simply stunning. Your right hand work is just
perfect...
JonnyCashmore: Exactly...and most of the classical guys can't
get it! They are to used to simply reading
off a page and listening to a metronome. Check
out "A Winged Victory for the Sullen" or "Stars
of the Lid" to immerse yourself in the classical
revolution which is taking place right
now....only the classical music world seems to
be oblivious!
pianushko: Original by who? Every pianist plays it
differently.
MsFloopdedoop: You deserve so much praising for you
interpretation. It's honestly sends shivers down
my spine. So beautiful...so haunting.
GunnyZoSo: Precisely, the tempo is all the difference.
ijlaldoc: J aime bcp c grandiose
Icarodefrancisco: FANTÁSTICO.......BEM EXECUTADO......
MAS EU A INTERPRETO COM MENOS RUBATTO.
E MAIS LENTA....MAS DO SEU JEITO FICOU
PERFEITO!!!!
BRAVO!!!!
PeithoPie: Your hands, I love your hands. You caress the
keys, so sensual. Who cares if it's 20
seconds shorter, it's your interpretation and
it's beautiful. I am in a dreamstate,
heintjebier: great sound and feel but a bit too fast for my
taste... could be so much better playing the
emphasized parts a little bit slower. this is
almost 20 seconds shorter than the original!
seanrm1: You really are brilliant! I have been
watching all your videos for
instruction-thankyou-Satie-even better than
Chopin-how fortunate we are to have such
divinities in our time~
laurentjutier: Très belle interprétation !
Elia14021997: I adore it!!! Well done!
Bujorock: The fingering of this pianist is amazing and the
sound is light and beautiful. But there is
definitively too much rubato in this
interpretation...by my point of view. I prefer
it slower with a more regular tempo, sober.
NovaScotiaChick: mmmmm my favourite gnossienne! Beautiful...
MyReflection77: way to beautiful...no words to destroy what
already was meant to be destroyed....marvelous
RICPOIRIER1: Très mélancolique et poétique! Une
interprétation superbe!
Sensenwerk: my god! this masterpiece played with such
perfection and feeling - love it!
Musicapurissima: This musique is like making Love...
An obscure feeling yet intense and the way
you play it is like the notes create a net of
pure melancholic sound...
Beautiful...
Carlos
ruddenberg: I can only agree! +1!!
GJ0KYZ: I have no training in music so I bow to your
superior knowledge here! I just like this piece
better when it's played quicker.
Setheth: i believe the correct tempo is 54 and the piece
should go for 3m33s which puts it slower than
this. I prefer it played slower. At the same
point I'm a big believer that once published the
work is open to interpretation... but if we're
talking "correct" then this is faster than
originally intended
