Скачать или смотреть Folke Nauta (1997) Scott Joplin: Maple Leaf Rag (Encore)

Folke Nauta, piano
After an intense highly dramatic recital, Folke played this encore, which was incredibly funny and a breath of fresh air. It also beautifully showcased that lighter side of his character. The hall exploded..! :)
Amsterdam Bachzaal, June 1997

Folke Sjoerd Nauta (April 26, 1973– August 5, 2023) was a highly gifted Dutch/Norwegian pianist

This channel is dedicated to my dear friend, who deserves to be remembered. For his son, loved ones and all of you. Folke was one of the greatest talents the world has missed out on. Genius, nature couldn't carry well with such a kind, loyal, sweet sensitive character words can't describe. He helped me through so much in my life unconditionally despite of his own struggles with his energy, he was beautiful.
I feel strong sense of obligation to him, an urge: reason why I published some never released before recordings he gave to me personally; otherwise it could be lost forever. About his Rachmaninov I concerto: unfortunately the only thing he had was damaged by time but now you're able to listen to his complete performance. I promised him to cherish his music with respect. He responded modestly yet happily, which turned out to be his 2-hands legacy
