Damn, that was intense.

I can confidently say I've never heard a better performance of the piece.

I wonder if audience noises interfere with the piece, or if they are the piece.

I liked the dramatic pause at 3:30, shortly before the coda.

Too much rubato in the coda for my taste.

Maybe, but it still takes somebody like Trifonov to pull this off. Imagine what a mess this would be if an amateur like Jon would attempt to play this.

That's not fair. He is asked for a perpetual encore after playing that one. Must be spectacular.
