Let's talk music, no genre boundaries


This is an offshoot of the jazz thread. I and others found that we could not talk about jazz without discussing other musical genres, as well as the philosophy of music. So, this is a thread in which people can suggest good music of all genres, and spout off your feelings about music itself.

In this version of Chopin "Nocturnes" we can "see" why Samson Francois was a cult pianist, he rival my prefered version by the master pianist Hans Moravec...

 Where the Cech plays "perfection" in a total clarity, the French "spoke" ...

Incredible... I love these two so different versions...

It is easy now to see why Samson Francois is so great in Scriabin no 3 sonata...

 This pianist rival Rubinstein in natural and grace and his expressiveness  win over the never icy "perfection" of Moravec who is one of the greatest pianist i know ( i own all his albums) Then Samson Francois is a giant indeed... No virtuosity is felt here only pure poetry...

It can be interesting to see how different culture consume music daily...

I listened to Sampson Francois playing Ravel's Piano Concerto. Excellent. He made the throughline exquisitely clear. I will have to listen to Martha Argerich play the same piece. She is known for playing Ravel.

yes

Give me your impression Samson /Argerich...

I will give you mine after ...
