Alexandre Kantorow plays Chopin Etude Op. 10 n.8 in F major

Although he didn't play the right notes at the beginning this is surely one of the most magnificent performances of this study out there.

why are people criticizing this performance? i thought it sounded very unique, i like it

[blackie-jmtr]

Fantastic performance...! He's flying over that keyboard.
Thank you for posting.

There is so much work put in such a short moment. I love it!

People gotta understand that playing it this way is like a dive in the Olympics with a higher degree of difficulty. It’s souffle light with no pedal. Not easy.

[christineberling]

Wonderful! Your interpretation is lovely. I enjoyed it very much.

[BKlett]

Sein Spiel ist von göttlicher Leichtigkeit!❤

Прозрачно, легко все у Александра! Красота и бальзам души!🌸

Eric Lu is certainly has one of the best performance of this etude currently on YouTube

[armstrong]

Absolutely stunning. Fantastic legato with minimal sustaining pedal. The sound of genius.

[josephlaredo]

Well, he certainly enjoys playing it, and so we do, too. Bravo.

I love and admire Kantorow but this feels out of control and uneven. Pletnev... That's balm for the soul, best op 10 n 8

[pelegrino]

Magnificent (we forget the wrong note at the beginning) !!

[joeltheivalnec]

Très beau son, grande élégance, retenue, sobriété, maîtrise du style, très prometteur!

[Iwalkpast]

Well Im sorry for you here, Alexander. You mustve been very stressed

[viktumnobis]

Я так счастлива, слушая эту игру! Это гений! Он перевернул мои представления о пианизме, музыке, душа в его игре и художественная совершенная красота!

[Shurikon]

Not bad, but not enough basses, he is very busy with right hand

[Grigor]

Good tempo and feel but there were too many smudges and honestly uneven fingerwork

[philipsmith]

Der Wanderer, I didn't hear any wrong notes in the beginning! He is a magnificent pianist.

[eugenioamodeo]

It’s actually a good performance, very “ naked“ almost whitout pedal. Apparently Who says that’s not good does not understand a lot about music

10/10, this is stress due to the concert pressure. He has to conquer.
