Plus he's having fun

Tabea Juliane Um I hope you know he is mentally ill, he suffers from Schizoaffective disorder which is why he moves his head so much.

Jose Marmontel Olha só! Outro brasileiro... Precisamos de mais assim

Respect.

Kind of reminds meof gelnn gould in some of the manerisms even though they are entirely his own.

I know this response is 3+ years late, but you should listen to Horowitz play his own version of this piece. Alot of Hungarians there that really love the Hungarian spirit :)

:-)

Excellent comment, indeed, I think D. H. is making very clear that music is a dialogue, and dialogues are not about pronouncing every word in perfect tonality and perfect accent. They are about communicating and understanding. This guy is understanding the notes and making clear which ones are more important. The piece then becomes alive and clear and stops being an exercise of perfection to become a piece of communication!!

K István this performance is shining, but the movie is Shine in case you actually did the mistake :)

While it may sound a little silly to say, I had never even thought of what kind of music I like to listen to, let alone even fathomed trying to play any instrument before watching Shine as a child. I was fascinated of course, and it lead me to learning the piano. That changed my life and I cant imagine it otherwise. rather, I don't want to imagine it otherwise. People still give me funny looks when I try to talk to them about classical music from any period, as people have done to me for the last 20 years. I suppose what I am trying to convey is that this man changed my life. my existence is more fulfilling once his story became the catalyst that drew me to music. If you see him around, I ask you to please let him know what he still means to everyone like myself whos lives he has shaped inadvertantly. Much love.

Travis Miller when I see him after this lock down , I will be sure to give him your message and gratitude. I know he will appreciate how you feel.

@@breathingtube I would truly appreciate that. Thank you.

@@breathingtube I knew he is a very VERY special soul of light to meet...!!

He had the gift of imagination and play,, with all the suffering he went through in his life and his health !! Legend

His family have come out and said a large part of that movie is inaccurate and was controlled by his 2nd wife. His dad apparently wasn’t abusive, but quite lenient according to his siblings. He was also welcomed home from overseas with open arms and even lived in the family home for a while. His sister has a lot of the correspondence between David and their late father, but she even pointed out that his 2nd wife (Gillian) was mostly in charge of the movie and would threaten to sue them everytime they tried to step in. They feel like she’s taking advantage of a man who is mentally ill (he has schizoaffective disorder)
