a lot of intricate rubato, but very natural, you can feel his breathing and body movements,

as is this

I learnt the Chopin etudes and ballades through vasary

See the difference between real pianists and wannabes like AK?

Even Vasary's major rit at 2:57 is so exquisitely timed. Perfection.

Alicia de Larrocha has a recording on youtube, which is also quite fast, and wonderful, but not quite as 'simple' as the above two.

You are seriously full of shit, maestro. You think these yahoos have a clue what you're talking about.

Im betting most of them think rubato is what they get at an AMP!

BTW -- chords are for homos!

Phenomenol. About the most difficult piece ever written, he makes it glisten.

Well, my father was a piano mover so...(Bill Murray)

That Liszt piece sounds incredibly difficult. A lot of his work is, no?

I think the words you're looking for are 'ham fisted'.

The melody for the poem was originally an English drinking song.
