There is no more authentically romantic performance. This is heart, soul and raw nerve endings. Intensely moving.

The most outstanding and passionate rendition of this beautiful Schumann masterpiece. And what an impressive photo of this great Russian pianist. Thank you. ❤

This performer understands the true character - that it starts unpleasantly (loud and not slow) and thereafter gets a lot more unpleasant before it manages to struggle to a major key ending.

Breathtaking and compelling rendition!

Great. The only you can here after you heard the Introduction of Gilels in London 1959!

Unbelievable.

Fantastic!

It's a miracle.

Bella interpretation 👏👏👏👏

For me Gilels and Sofronitsky are the 2 greatest masters of this sonata, folkowed by Walter Gieseking

Ewald Steyn You are correct. Gilels and Sofronitsky were in anotyher dimension as they could feel deeper than most and project it to their playing. And Gilels upon hearing of Sofronitsky death lamented that the greatest pianist in the world had died.

Havent heard the others yet. But Sofronitsky is king in building this extrem tension!

Браво. Благодарю

his opening if the best i've heard on YT.: expression, the emotional weight of the tight 32nd notes, balance of the accompaniment, rubato etc. ... But i can't say i like the fandango as much. , too bad.
