I feel the older we get the more this music touches us. The bitter sweet of life, things that could had been, things that should not had been, things that possibly had been. Those joy, grief, blood, sweat, tears.

As a kid we were brought to the symphony twice a year. It was magical to me, I know how lucky I was to attend. All kids should be introduced to the classics early in life. It has always stayed with me, I have loved it since then.

I had a piano instructor back in the 90s who was from Kiev and Horowitz went to the same Kiev Conservatory she went to, she told me how senior recitals are a big deal and they're done in front of a panel of professors who do not show any emotion after your performance. Zero. no clapping, no nodding, nothing. Horowitz finished, they jumped to their feet and applauded for a minute straight. He was that much of a force.

Jesus is the way the truth and the life The simple CHRISTIAN message of the Gospel. You too need to be born again to enter the kingdom of heaven (Jn 3:3). This can only happen by the action of the Holy Spirit when you accept Christ Jesus in one's life and one truly has faith in Him alone. Before of all this though, friend, you need to know a lot of things important. God (YHWH), he created you, put life, breath, soul and into you all the rest. Thanks to Him we live. We were created to give him glory, adoration, love and obedience. We have not done this, indeed, we have continuously lived without thinking of our Creator, and we always have Sin. We have despised our Creator for doing what pleases us and we have turned away from Him. In this condition, there is a sentence upon you of eternal condemnation. Your sins have separated you from God (Isaiah 59:2). Self die in this condition of spiritual death, you will spend the rest of eternity in hell, in eternal and absolute torment. It's not your actions that save you, either trying to improve your behavior. It's not even religions either Catholicism or whatever. In this condition you are hopeless. the bible, which is inspired of God, declares: Rom 3:23 all have sinned and fall short of glory of God. That is, they are devoid of God in glory in heaven. The wages of sin is the death. What can you do to have forgiveness and eternal salvation? Thank God, there is the one and only true and certain hope, in Christ Jesus! God commands you to repent of your sins and leave them behind, and believe in faith in Christ Jesus to be saved! Rom 5:1 Therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Jesus bought a dear price of his blood an eternal salvation that we do not deserve, on the cross for you too. After three days he rose from the dead. Christ with the his death conquered death. You today, if you obey the Gospel and believe with faith in this message, you can receive true Life, true eternal salvation, offered as a gift from God. Today you can find peace in your heart, forgiveness and a relationship with the true living God. Today you can truly become a son of God if you accept Jesus into your life as your Lord and Savior! All offered by FAITH ONLY. Whatever you did today can truly be forgiven, but you must trust Jesus, his death and resurrection. You have to trust with the heart only of Him. Do not harden your heart to this message, no be numb, but let yourself be saved by the Lord Jesus. Eternity will come well soon, only if you will be in Christ, and thanks to Him be born again of the Spirit, you will be able to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Seek God with all of yourself, seek Him today! Become a disciple of the Master and Lord Christ Jesus! Real life, life in abundance, it is only in Him!

The closer we get to that last day on earth, on this magical place that consists of bittersweet experiences, the closer we move towards the basics, poetry, philosophical thinking, music. It is a full circle someone might say, we go back to where our soul was guiding us all those years, but career, friends, family, that night out that we had to go out because everyone would attend kept us apart from our nature. And we lived in distance from our own soul for ages.

I will never get tired of either hearing or playing Chopin's Nocturne in C# Minor. I first heard it from one of the best movies of all time (The Pianist), it drove me to start learning multiple instruments rather than just drumset, it helped me read melodies far better than was able to before, and it showed me what classical piano is really about.

Warning! The sound of the third performance explodes in volume. It is MUCH louder than the first two. At 7:05, turn your volume way down to protect your hearing.

I cannot fathom those who decry all music that is different than this. If music truly moves you, inspires you, gives you a moment to pause then who can say that all forms of musical expression are not appreciated. Open your heart and mind and give thanks for those that are gifted.

Chopin Nocturne in C Sharp minor always makes me calms me down to the point where I just sit there and smile.

Horowitz has been my favorite for many, many years. He brings so many emotions to the surface.

Sir Horowitz was already in his eighties during this concert. This really shows that age is just a number! Nice video!

WOW! The little time pieces he waits till he plays the next note is just what music is all about. We all heard Chopin so many times, but like this … you need to dig deep, very deep. The world would need that kinda music, not boom tshap boom boom tshap

Most of Pressler's discography is chamber music with the Beaux Arts Trio. But whenever we were treated to solo performances, he delivered.

If there's absolution then there must be music. Where else is there such a place where one is able to forgive, to rebuild, to absolve one's shortcomings, other than in the presence of great music. Tears of enlightenment are streaming in my mind, having found peace in forgiving my past, forgiving my youthful exuberance, forgiving myself, whilst listening to this. Music, great music, is absolution for the soul and can only lead to harmony and peace. Thank you for sharing.

He slows down the faster runs so his arthritic fingers can manage them- and he's so good, it somehow seems as though that was how it was written.

@psforrest1 Ай бұрын

I think that is an assumption on your part. I studied with a renowned Polish teacher (teacher Emanuel Ax and others, and performer in the earlier 20th century) Mieczyslaw Munz. In my score of this, on that second run, he wrote "Slower." Anyway, it's gorgeous as Pressler plays it.

@gnamp Ай бұрын

@@psforrest1 Oh- my account of his reason for slowing is certainly an assumption. However, unless it was Chopin himself indicating that those parts be played slower- which he does not- such assumptions, if not openly invited, will naturally follow. Certainly 'gorgeous' is right.

The transition from the 2nd to the 3rd song was so harsh for me. It was like I was lulled to sleep by the most sweetly read bedtime story followed by someone throwing a bucket of icewater on me when the intro applause abruptly cut in on the 3rd clip. Jarring to say the least.

It’s wonderful to see these elderly pianists. There is no doubt that there is brilliant young talent out there but is there any need for the dramatics. These pianists are all about the music.

@allanfada9830 Ай бұрын

The piano is without a doubt, the greatest, most sublime instrument ever made...and played by man. It has the power to probe the deepest regions of the human spirit. Beethoven, Chopin, Mendelssohn Tchaikovsky and Mozart all knew this.. and they spoke to us all thru this medium.
