    It's virtually impossible to type "pletnev piano' in the youtube search bar.

    I do have a private YT playlist that includes
    all Pletnev recordings as of a few months
    ago. I need to check and trim the contents
    and will release it to the group in a couple
    of days.

    I was a little surprised people need help to find Pletnev on youtube.
    But I guess it's something along the lines of "How many pianophiles does it take to screw in a lightbulb?"

    None. Pianists prefer candles.

    They certainly do. Yet, I get the impression that Horowitz has no affinity for this music. His adaptations are musically no improvements.

    Nevertheless, it's the version that convinced me that the Islamey is more than just the most difficult piece written for piano.

    No. I do not see any candles
    in the version you mentioned.

    I also don't like orchestral
    trasncriptions of piano works.
    They all sound like invititing
    the police to join a private
    party in one's home.

    I’m not really advocating for any version fully - but Arrau’s kind of anti-virtuoso approach doesn’t automatically translate into superior musicality IMO.

    I would be very interested in how Martha Argerich would have performed this in her prime. I imagine her as being perhaps the ideal interpreter of Islamey.

    Indeed. I'd be interested too. She learned Gaspard in two weeks,Islamey would have taken her only a few days.

    Agreed. But Arrau's version does sound more like music to me than many other versions.
