which one is the better performance? please tell me. in my own mind it may be the woman's performance that is slightly more complicated and daring, but the womans performance was also less tight. here. can you tell me who does the best version?
I'm not musically trained, but I think that both performances are excellent and that the selection of either one as the "best" will depend on the criteria you apply. Liberace's performance is extremely polished and technically proficient. However, I personally find Winifred Atwell's version more enjoyable because it has more life and seems to capture the feeling of the music more effectively.
