"Classical music intelligentsia". Yeah, that's the problem! If you (indefinite pronoun) believe music is an intellectual process, then you (ditto) don't understand music. Music should be listended to, not pontificated over. Music transcends the ability to 'explain' it with mere words. Music isn't 'better', per se, than language... and literature; they are simply different realms! If composers had wanted to express themselves in language, then they would have used the written word! Listen, don't talk...!!!

The "who tf cares about this silly point of ceremony" vibe is such a clear indicator that you've found a master teacher

Love the video but whats the benefit of indulging posible images and narrative turns for this work and its development -a story- when is being established, in other videos, Chopin music is not narrative? While understandable seems contradictory.

Eric looks like someone's (young) uncle

Agree!!!

Her phrasing is everything! She lets every single note breath and sing and together they create a giant space filled with music. Just magical!

Hey sir I don't know if you still pick up on comments on 3-month old videos, but your discussion here with Garrick about that intrusive and odd E-flat in the (otherwise fairly standard) F-major arpeggios that end the F Prelude (and "lead on to" the Dm) sparked a thought. You comment that it was extremely unusual for a composer to finish a piece on an unresolved dissonance (the flatted 7th being the mother of all unresolved chords, and the least dissonant). Are there examples of this? I can imagine Satie or Poulenc ending a piece like that almost as a prank, to leave the listener feeling cheated of a resolution that would be so cheap and easy to give. But also long have I wondered how Gospel and Soul music gets away with it. It's almost a cliché for a great Aretha Franklin or James Brown or Ray Charles anthem to finish on a shimmering, triumphant 7th chord (or 9th or 13th) and yet it sounds like a great and satisfying final chord. What were we frightened of during all those centuries? Is this an example of our own ears "growing up" as the rich sounds of world cultures bathe them?

I met a composer & music analysis teacher that said concerto movements were actually unrelated musically, to explain why he wrote his concerto in one movement While i disagree with that statement i really like Gould's effort to link the whole piece because it can indeed be hard to grasp the unity of a work like this

43:11 worth the price of admission. Genius.

I do not understand the statement about the authenticity of the pianos in Valdemossa. Piano in cell n°2 was a tourist trap but what about the one in cell n°4 ? It is a genuine piano ok but did Chopin actually play on it ?

Great video!

Woww😮. This kid is quite special in several ways. Highly talented, mature, valuating things others don't, educated. In short, a genius. I hope he and his mother have been here, in Portuga,l and that Елисей has seen the small things he likes. Good luck for your career and a big thanks for the teachers and family.

Thank you for this video Ben. She is a treasure.

This was right up my alley. Thanks for the great upload!

Sang tenor in a choir specialising in Tudor music. The sopranos got the glory but the inner voices were more interesting. And for pianists fair game. Love how rubato is back in fashion.

This is maybe a banal pick to some, but Ax simply nailed the scherzos to me. His mazurkas are great too, but he shines with the scherzos more. Too often people’s perception of the proper approach for great French piano music is skewed towards slowness. I believe they mistake it with “tenderness” or something akin to that. I see some complaints here from other commenters about the tempo being too fast, and I must say I think those people are greatly misguided.

Lortat’s Études are perfect to my ears.

It’s Arrau for me concerning the impromptus as well. His nocturnes might be my favorite as well. Chopin is so interesting because nobody does all of it perfectly. Some great piano players can’t grasp it at all. Richter may be my favorite of the last century, but he never floored me with any Chopin he ever played. Some could do some nearly perfect (like Arrau with the nocturnes and impromptus), but completely fumble other Chopin (like Arrau with Chopin’s preludes). Lortat is in a class of his own with the études. His preludes were phenomenal too, but I may slightly prefer Horszowski on the preludes. Ax pleasantly surprised me with his recording of the scherzos and mazurkas from the late 80s. Ax is another that seldomly releases music that I really love, but I can’t deny his mastery of the said Chopin works that I believe was released via the CBS Masterworks series. For a lesser known pick, I think Cecile Licad can do wonderful things with Chopin. She did the 12 Études decades ago when she was still quite young, and they’re so-so. However, her playing on the 1st Nocturne and the Scherzo in Bb minor are stellar. Lastly, I must confess that Pogorelich just “gets” the sonatas (with the bizarre exception of the 3rd one). I’d say Ivo does the 2nd piano concerto as good as any too. I don’t adore Chopin’s first piano concerto much from a compositional standpoint, but Vásáry makes that piece come alive for me. That first concerto really needs a snappy, attentive orchestra behind it (whereas I feel the 2nd one can still be exceptional with just a phenomenal pianist, and Semkow certainly provides that with the Berliner Philharmoniker for Vásáry on that version.

I watched it live on UA-cam and it played with my heart from the first note. I will remember that experience for the rest of my life. I have listened to in many times, that day I felt it for the first time. Thank you Yunchan Lim, thank you!

In the opening, put more emphasis on the top C note to bring out more melody.

How do you select tempos and rubato? I feel the tempo in this recording is too quick, and loses expressiveness especially in the fast notes and cadences.

I feel like men tend to have much shorter pinkies relative to other fingers.

Look at the amount of analysis and articulate exposition by people who know what they’re talking about we (and the media) were tolerant of back then.

I just finished learning this piece for my ARSM exam, your guys's insights are truly phenomenal ! Will definitely try adapting it to my playing

Wonderful ! Thanks for posting! Bravo

Wonderful ! Thanks for posting! Bravo

i just remembered the maj 7th progression moment in the waterfall etude has stuck with me all these years

i somehow forgot how beautiful op 28 no 9 was

for me its tied between the trill section in op 62 no 1, doppio op 48 no 1, and last 3 minutes of the 4th ballade

I watched this from Google Chrome then suddenly switched to UA-cam! 1. So many Chinese last name pianists I think mostly from taiwan. 2. I am impressed with Emily Wu ， I am positive that her next favorite is op.53 0f the same tune she played in A flat major 3. I like to see these young pianists hang some wonderful paints in the room , better in the front and not in other places like in the left or right ...my point is you have the music in the head when you Play No need to look to the key board like suddenly you have nothing to look at during the concert/recital. Let me say one thing about Chopin competition, the young pianists are not of Chopin s age to experience what he did : op.53 is my stand out examples ! God bless !!!

@53:50 elicited not just a lol but a full on guffaw!

do a synopsis on cziffra's Chopin interpretations or just listen to it. you may find it interesting....

Please listen to Sergio Fiorentino's preludes recorded 1959. They're the finest I've ever heard. He treats every note with purpose. Listen to no 2 and you'll know what I mean.

Kate Liu è la vincitrice.Non vi è dubbio.È la vincitrice nei cuori dei suoi Fans.

Raul had an interesting performance on Monday.

Who’s watching this after Raul improvised the Op. 9 No. 2? 😂

Another byproduct of the “trick” for the low Ds at the end of the last prelude is all the OVERTONES working as a result of holding down those other white notes! 😎 🔥

gould was awful unlistenable. two no surprise two very sexually disturbed men found common cause. I cannot tolerate bernstein either his physical antics on podium were off putting and his classical approach objectionable. best thing he did was popular musical. west side story. Both very destructive to the classical canon. I own a very extensive library of music numbering close to 1K in LPs old cassettes and CDs they are not included and most choices were made by my first and second husbands both sophisticated enthusiasts

How to maintain such expressive intensity after so many hours of practice. Thank you for this wonderful moment of great music.

Magnificent! !
