Wow ❤❤❤

A brilliant film, reminding one of Bergman's The Seventh Seal, the most intellectual and perhaps the greatest film of all time. Here, the role of Death was played by Weissenberg, whose steely perfection and cool demeanor was as haunting as the Director could wish. Every generation has a pianist adored by the public but lampooned by the critics. Our generation has Lang Lang, but the frequent negative reviews Lang garners pales into insignificance besides the patronizing reviews Weissenberg routinely got. He inspired critics to write with the sharpest wit and deadliest venom. Mr Weissenberg is remembered for some brilliant recordings and concerts, but he also left behind a catalogue of possibly the worst piano recordings ever made.

Fenomen 5:10

Wow

素晴らしい演奏と映像。 ワイセンベルクがカムバックする機会となった歴史的映像。 何回見ても感動します! この映像が入ったDVDを手に入れました。 ワイセンベルクの絶頂期の演奏を見ることが出来ます。 本当にワイセンベルクのコンサートは素晴らしかった! あなたの偉大なピアノ芸術は生涯私の心の中にいます。 安らかに❤

An incredible performance by an incredible pianist. It’s a shame that the recording is such low quality, if only it were recorded with better microphones instead of the ones used here. Update: Actually, there is! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bc6UqLmDsa6XeGQ.html This is the same recording, but in better quality, not to mention this version being in the right key.

Thank you very much for posting this incredible Masterpiece. This recording isn't available on cd. Luckily I have now a digital to analog converter. So I can enjoy it a lot. Bravo!

Peeiiiiiiooooo

I’m speechless!

初めてこの映画を見た時は感動して、こんな不可能と思えるほど難しい曲があるのかと思いました。 しかも、大好きな36歳のワイセンベルクが演奏しているなんて! コンサートでもこのペトルーシュカを弾いていたようですが、私は聴いたことがありません。 見ているだけで、腕が引きつりそうです。 本当に素晴らしい映像です! アップロードしてくださり、ありがとうございます。ワイセンベルクさんの映像を見ることは本当に幸せです❤

Unfortunately... incomprensibilmente... it is not the original speed (and tone), but it is speeded up

Excelente apresentação, que pude felizmente assistir!

Q lindo!!!! Deus abençõe

Magnifique !

I’ve just watched this for the first time and I am stunned. What an exceptional performance. And what captivating cinematography.

Thank you this is a gem of a find. I study with one of his students.

Lmao the recording sounds like it's pitched up one half step, but just imagine how insane it would be if you had to play that first movement in C sharp major instead of C major

This is really a pinnacle achievement of human piano playing. Amazing stuff. Thank you for uploading :) 3:50-4:00 really? I didn't think that was possible. Guess I learned something new today

11:27-13:18

Masters at works.

Sublime. :)

Friggin insane left hand Octaves!!! Caralho!!

much to fast and very bad taste the way he is playing this piece... very sad to hear it this way

I love His tempi,

4:40

Sound quality from 1920

Stravinsky famously said the piano is a percussion instrument. I believe THIS is how he intended to be played.

such a bad recording makes Volodos playing worse off

Quelle émotion de revoir ce film, que j'ai découvert sur Arte à 12ans, et qui m'a émerveillé par son graphisme saisissant. J'ai depuis lors entrepris de jouer cette oeuvre, et croyez-moi, à mon humble niveau pianistique Petrouchka restera sous mes doigts un fastidieux chantier ! Ce baller est à mon sens une pièce fondamentale de la musique, un conte à la fois magique et sensible composé en cinq actes (trois dans cette version piano seul). L'histoire émouvante de trois marionnettes qui au cours d'une fête foraine vont prendre vie sous la baguette d'un enchanteur, et nous interpréter la joie, l'amour, l'exotisme, la folie, l'affrontement, la mort, et la résurrection.

Очень шумно не ритмично ему следует больше слушать Mark Andre Hamelin

This is without any doubt the greatest studio recording in history.

It’s cool getting to hear this piece transposed a half-step up...but seriously though, I think this might be one of my favorite video piano recordings of all time. Thanks for sharing!

virtuosité, mais surtout, quelle intelligence !

Russian Cziffra :) Too bad nowadays he’s stuck with Schubert.

Extraordinary, and unique performance (even with semitone higher). The best really! Thanks for the upload: it is priceless. Weissenberg, on the recording and filming of his Petrushka: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b7tna9phrr-bd3U.html

Genial !

This is not very typical Volodos. Meaning that it's dirty.

Spectacular!

An artistic landmark. Fabulous performance by Weissenberg, still one of the best; wonderful, groundbreaking and forever fresh music by Stravinsky; and experimental cinematography. A classic of the 20th Century.

THE AMAZING EXPLOSIVE ENERGY OF 1,000 MEGATONS OF NUCLEAR DEVICES GOING OFF AT ONCE. HE HAD NO LIMITS TO HIS EXPANSIVE MUSICAL METEORIC BLASTS OF POWER AND LASER LIKE ACCURACY.

凄いを通り越して凄まじい。

Fa venir voglia di ballare, significa che è un'interpretazione coi fiocchi! Rende il ritmo del ballo... ascoltando questa versione non dimentichiamo che la polka è un ballo

Faster than Cziffra!!!!

The *%$#$ cameraman spends more time on Weissenberg's face than on his hands. Or the weird shots from 40 feet above the piano. He must have been stoned!

Hello Arthur, could you send me the full concert for this?

Begin at 0,40"

Weissenberg just blows my mind! What an amazing performance!
