Compare this poetic performance of K 330 with the others posted on UA-cam and it will be clear how far Zimerman stands above the others. Runs like strings of pearls, not rushed, hurried, but natural. And the breathing of phrases, shaping, and tension. Thank you for posting. Wonderful.
I share the same thought with you. Although not a musician, I can hear each note he plays without any rush or hurry, simply following the rhythm accurately with emotion embedded in the compositions by the composer. A really fine pianist!
It is such a pity that this hasn't been recorded with a better quality, especially for the audio. UA-cam ruins the sound at lower resolutions but you still can clearly hear how incredibly skilled he is. I am practicing this song myself, it is good inspiration. I have a lot to learn about how to use the pedals. Though I practice the piano myself I didn't know him before I watched this video, now I know that he was being considered one of the best pianists.
Mr. Krystian Zimerman is one of the finest pianist of our time, he is also a conductor as well, however, most of his times have been used for musical performing as a solo pianist. Many Thanks To Mr. Zimerman for his wonderful performing, as seeing as the greatest contributions for classical music society.
Perhaps a pianist interprets a composer better than others, I am for Glen Gould when it comes to JS Bach, and Poliini for Beethoven. I know K330 well, and have listened to it many times by different pianists. But yes, Zimerman has a pace and feeling for the timbre of this piece which exceeds all recordings I have heard. I agree a superb performance. My problem is when I find perfection, then I can listen to no other. For K330 it now has to be Zimerman.
@magicmulder Yes, I usually prefer to stay on the more purist side in the classical music context, and I really tend to dislike Gould's interpretations. On the other hand, Olafsson's interpretations, although being egile fast and eary and therefore distancing intself from the purist side, which should be solemn and heavy, change the interpretations in such a way that Gould never could have done it. I usually prefer András Schiff for Bach, but in some examples, such as Bach's prelude and fugue in c minor from the Well Tempered Clavier, i prefer Olafsson's version, but never Gould, he is just terrible.
@@pakshunlee1472 Who would you say is better then? Every performance of Zimerman I have seen transcends virtuosity into the sublime. He is THE Chopin performer of our generation.
Not just the Chopin performer. This is the great thing about Zimerman, He can play Chopin and sound like Chopin, He can play Liszt and sound like Liszt, He can play Schubert and sound like Schubert, He can play Brahms and sound like Brahms. And all that seemingly effortlessley, He is simply THE Best pianist to ever have lived. I doubt there is anybody that could do better as there simply is no room for improvement here.
It is probably trite to say that any concert pianist is amazing, but I am in awe of his touch, his clarity, interpretation, technical facility, you name it. Thank heaven for modern recording technology.
With Mozart's sonatas you can not hide behind empty virtuosity and exaggerated drama. This is pure and absolute music: either you are good or mediocre. Zimerman with his unparallel touch, caressing with love and confidence the music of the most magical of all composers.
I just discovered Zimerman less than a month ago, and I can honestly say that he is my favourite pianist. I love how he plays at just the right tempo, no rush, while also executing the notes with perfect accuracy. There's feeling in the notes as well, like there's a purpose for them.
I discovered him 40 some years ago after I purchased his Chopin concerto no 2. I used to listen to that record over and over again as a child. I still love this version the most of this concerto.
I discovered him looking for the best rendition of Mozart's "Rondo Alla Turca", and his was above and beyond anyone else's. Since then he's become my favorite for many pieces, including some where I always considered Horowitz (who remains my overall favorite) unsurpassable. Zimerman, Horowitz, Trifonov, Pletnev, Richter, those are my clear favorites across the ages. (Yes, Rubinstein is great but not always to my taste.)
Fantastic. He captures the heavenly softness and silky smoothness, he does it in such a relaxed way, he obviously gets the most out of the piece. I love the unhurried and elegant fashion
Ive heard this piece a thousand times, he made me feel like it was the first time i heard it. This was fabulous, i learned a new way to listen to this piece
Absolutely charming!! Listening again and again, delighted to discover that Zimerman's Mozart is just as outstanding as his Schubert and Chopin. Thank you for posting this sonata on My Mix!
Superb. And wonderful to watch his facial expressions too, because he's not acting, he's merely being his own playful self. Watch him playing Chopin's Ballades and you get a whole different Zimerman! He feels every note, and that's just the way it should be!
I have loved Zimerman's Chopin for a long time. Here he elevated my feelings about Mozart in about 10 seconds and nearly brought tears to my eyes. He is Krystian Zimerman in every phrase.
I am no longer surprised when I decide to watch Krystian's performance of a piece and am blown away. He truly is up there with the best. My piano teacher hasn't even heard of him.
Other top class pianists have played this sonata as perfectly as a human can do. But Zimerman invented his very own and unique interpretation of this sonata that perhaps even Mozart will be amazed. The depth and the emotion of this performance are just so immense that it must be God holding his hands to do it.
I cannot get over the second movement and its sentimental beauty..At min 10:00 my favourite passage starts. It could make you cry. It also makes me think of Schubert a little too
I agree there is never a dull moment with Zimerman. His performance here is simply magical, and I love all his other recordings! Somehow his interpretations always seem to resonate with me.
Good luck finding it! He is so picky about his recordings and has scorned youtube for posting recordings that he is not satisfied with. Notoriously perfectionist, not that I'm complaining!
Martin Alvarado Zimerman never liked to have more than a few of his videos on UA-cam. This is his only recording of Mozart currently on UA-cam. However, all is not lost. Search for (do not include the quotation marks) "Mozart Grinberg", "Mozart Uchida Piano Concerto", "Mozart Pires", and "Mozart Kocsis-Rankj". I personally love " "Mozart Kocsis-Rankj K 448". Surprisingly enough it is very difficult for pianists to play Mozart. To quote a concert pianist friend of mine, "Too much music - too few notes". Mozart was the ultimate composer in terms of efficiency - there were no superfluous notes and that is what makes him hard to play.
+Gerry Rains I think you may have meant Beethoven's Piano Sonata No.8. Sorry to point it out. I always believed that Zimerman has the best interpretation of Beethoven's piano concertos especially with Bernstein and Vienna Philharmonic. Today it is the first time I found him playing Mozart's piano sonata. Sheer cheer and beauty!
I love this, but it makes me a little sad. I always think of Zimerman as that young guy with the sandy hair from the 80s. Time marches on . . . (but he's still dapper).
Such a treat. Wonderfully expressive, cat like elegance, subtlety, bottomless depth, fun, all arising from the most profound stillness and clarity. Food indeed for the soul. Really lets Mozart out. Thank you.
What’s crazy to me is his extensive use of sustain and soft pedal… all those nuances bring this performance to another level. He has complete control and IS the music.
7:00 In this movement so many surprisingly beautifull and coherent themes,only Mozart and his brilliant musical idea! in this case (I think) above the pianistic resources.
This movement is immensely beautiful. His playing brings a quality to it... So far haven't found a better version on UA-cam.. Something almost ethereal about his...
What amazes me about his playing style is his capability of playing the music so innocently with such elegance. Mozart is especially difficult because you must have this airy, innocent, pleasant sound, but his music always has some kind of tension and seriousness that makes it extremely difficult to play. Most amateur musician tend to play Mozart too 'allegro' and 'jumpy' and tend to miss the point of what Mozart really wanted to say in the music. Zimmerman nailed Mozart in both aspects and to be honest, I've not heard a better interpretation of this piece in youtube. He beats every musician with this piece. It just astounds me!! The only way to master Bach and Mozart is to restrain the flow of your emotion by trying to keep it as simple as possible. Perhaps, this is the reason why I have an easier time practicing something like "La Campanella" in violin than Mozart Violin Concerto No 5 in A major. I never seem to be satisfied playing his sonatas and concertos...
The spirit of sounds of Mozart’s music will have been crystallizing themselves wonderfully as well as fantastically with the melodies both harmoniously and exquisitely woven of Beauty and Simplicity eternally in the hearts of Mozart lovers around the world.
Yes, I know the video is out of sync with the audio. I've implored those more technically savvy than I to tell me how to fix the issue and no one has been able to, yet. If you know how, PM me and I'll fix it.
I generally don't like Mozart, but this sounds so perfect, humble and serene that you cannot help but like it. For those complaining about his breathing / humming - get over it! It's part of the recording's charm.
Why? I simply am not a fan of the Classical period music, in general. I don't mean I hate it, but I don't like it, either. It fails to impress my emotions.
Neo Doryphoros I thought the same, but then i learned to listen to the pure beauty of Mozarts music. There is nothing comparable. I also like the other great composers, but mozart is the greatest in beeing simply harmonic. So forget that you don't really like the classical period and listen concentrated.
Thanks... I've listened to quite a lot of Mozart until now and I find I like his more dramatic works better (the Requiem, the d-moll piano concerto, for example). It's not I don't like him at all, but something doesn't work for me. I find the freedom and honesty of feelings of the baroque period more appealing...
A great performance indeed, even the Mozart Police can't complain. Where other Steinway virtuosi sometimes sound a bit forceful and insisting (the dilemmas of performing piano music written before 1800), Zimerman finds the perfect balance. Thank you for sharing this legendary recording, may it be watched and heard by millions more.
The spirit of Mozart’s works woven musically of Beauty and Simplicity has been crystallizing on through the ages for ever and ever in the hearts of Mozart lovers ❤
Mr. Zimmerman, I've seen your videos (scarcely) before, but today after listening to your Chopin's Scherzo & seeing your 1975 performance of one of the Mazurkas, & now this Mozart piece, my attention is totally captured. Maybe I gravitated to the color change of your hair, which implies a rich history, so then I knew I was in for a treat if I continued to explore your performances; & what a treat it is. The flick of the hand at the end of this piece really summed up the great spirit behind this performance. . . it was like "get out of here, homie don't play dat!". Your gift is obviously extraordinarily amazing. I am truly inspired. Thank you for the awesome works!!!
What a wonderful interpretation, as I imagine Mozart would have played it himself. Such joy in the playing and such subtle articulation. Absolutely loved it.
On listening to this melody I find myself being drawn into the wonderfully harmonious world of “simple”and“beautiful” where my soul could be totally liberated from this world. Great thanks be to Mozart for his musical blessing❤
Bravo! Kristian Zimerman! Beautifully played! Cheerful and you can feel the music what the composer Mozart try to touch the heart Of the people. Second movement Andante very expressive, it touch my heart and soul! I played also this passionate piece. I feel like playing again! Thanks for sharing.
Zimerman one of the very few who understans how to (TRANSCRIBE) piano forte music to the modern piano, for which it was NOT written. The modern piano usually desstroys the character of Mozart and Bach. But Mr. Zimerman understands this challenge and has made the necessary adaptations. Usually, I cannot listen to Mozart played on a modern piano. It is a truly enchanting performance and reveals a great sensativity and musical sense that few possess, My advice is to seek an historical piano forte maker and buy on to play according to the original sound Mozart had in mind. But this here is none the less, very beautifully played.
+Ron Walker One explanation to this could be that Krystian Zimerman learned how to exchange the keyboard of a grand piano himself. (This was necessary for him when he grew up. It was much cheaper to do it yourself.)
This is not a transcription by any definition. Since the invention of the modern piano there are hundreds of great pianists who understand perfectly well how to use technique and musicality to make Mozart sound good and true. In this regard there is nothing special about Zimerman. That is not to say that he isn't a fine pianist by all standards.
Bruh I’m listening to this while looking at my own sheet music because I’m learning this for grade 9, I’m not very good at timing it’s just never been my jam but this helps a tremendous amount! Just by watching I can feel his movements, he’s amazing❤ listening to songs also helps me decide if I actually want to play them because I know what they sounds like. Idk I’m rambling but I’m very grateful for this video and this man!
Love Zimerman's love of piano. He is very expressive and his runs are so natural. If alive today, Mozart would be impressed with the way his composition(s) are performed by Krystian Zimerman. So beautifully played by a master.
it's sad but healing music. i can feel mozart's sadness because i lost my grandfa when i heard this music. And in the 3rd part, i can feel he was refreshed. it can be helpful to read his behind story.
I have yet to see better interpretation than this one by Zimerman. I have listened to Pletnev, Horowitz, and Uchida, but this one is still my favourite.
Thankyou for posting this , i usex to have two beautiful volumes of the compleate mozart piano sonatas as my mother used to play them and this one k330 is too beautiful beyond words, zimmerman's interpretation stands head and shoulders above the rest and have played it over and over again,its a wonderful thing too have it in ones head and i feel nothing else matters as i llay it through ,all my worries have gone now!!
There are no right words to describe how much I LOVE this dude. I might be depressed and suicidal for almost ten years now, but I swear, just a brief moment of listening him playing + looking at his facial expressions gives me a strenght to postpone my demise once again
Voyez toutes les merveilles musicales, naturelles, un oiseau, un ruisseau, un regard tendre, quelques nuages, la beauté d'une main...Vivez donc malgré vos souffrances, nous ne faisons que quelques pas sur cette terre , faisons les légers, doux, harmonieux, fraternels, resplendissants !

Zimerman definitely defines the word perfection. Every phrase in this sonata is full of beautiful colors. Mozart just can't be played any better.
How bout he who created it? Let us not forget...these pianist nowadays are just playing the music those in the past wrote down.
@@chadpresser7584 coz there too too many pieces waiting them to play, e.g. Mozart no need to play Chopin's pieces, lots of time he saved
@@chadpresser7584

Mozart would have played better because when he was born the piano didn't exist yet. Cello speaking back in the days
Jesus. I've heard so much music played by this man and I still can't believe anyone is capable of such musicality. Unsurpassed.
Oh dear, you should open up and keep exploring ...

I completely agree with you, he is truly incredible, I’m listening to it while learning the first song.

Good, mediocre or terrible. Usually I have heard the last one. Mozart shows the pianist and their pianism in the most naked and pure form.
私も同じように思います。
K.Zimermanのピアノの表現は、後世に伝えなければならない、大切な事象を説得力をもって、教えてくれているのです。
K.Zimermanがいなかったら、どうなっていたのでしょうか？
thank You so much my beloved Mr. Praguer!

dawn he has really got Mozart sensityve touch, breahting and joking at 20:02
So funny!
I remember him when he won Chopin competition in 1975, a slim and shy guy, overwhelmed by this great success.

He is definitely one of the best pianists ever existed. he is a real genius
This is by far the best interpretation of this piece on youtube!
I have loved Zimerman's Chopin for a long time. Here he elevated my feelings about Mozart in about 10 seconds and nearly brought tears to my eyes. He is Krystian Zimerman in every phrase.
People complain about hearing him sing along, but to me it shows how deeply he is feeling the music. He is literally resonating with his instrument.
When did he sing along? I didn't hear anything
Are you thinking of Glenn Gould?
@@94alhfI think you are right…maybe a different recording. Nonetheless this man is amazing…His Chopin is unapproachable

Maybe I gravitated to the color change of your hair, which implies a rich history, so then I knew I was in for a treat if I continued to explore your performances; & what a treat it is. The flick of the hand at the end of this piece really summed up the great spirit behind this performance. . . it was like "get out of here, homie don't play dat!". Your gift is obviously extraordinarily amazing. I am truly inspired. Thank you for the awesome works!!!
Watch him play Beethoven's piano concerto 5 "Emporer, you'll be blown away
What a beautiful rendition! Ashamed to say that I've never listened to him. He's Wonderful!
What a wonderful interpretation, as I imagine Mozart would have played it himself. Such joy in the playing and such subtle articulation. Absolutely loved it.
Safe to say it would be quite different from this if Mozart had played it.
On listening to this melody I find myself being drawn into the wonderfully harmonious world of “simple”and“beautiful” where my soul could be totally liberated from this world. Great thanks be to Mozart for his musical blessing❤
20:03! Love that gesture! It's as if he was saying "oh, is something worrying me..? Nah, everything's okay!" :D
So grateful for your having posted this performance. Outstanding performance.
What a terrific performance from a superb artist!
Piano just can't be played better!

I find this Mozart piece charming and scintillating and Zimerman performs it to perfection. I enjoy the happy look on his face. He's so charming!
Definitely the best interpretation on UA-cam I've seen.
God bless such a gifted person!
I agree
He is already blessed, thats the reason, he can play like this
Bravo! Kristian Zimerman! Beautifully played! Cheerful and you can feel the music what the composer Mozart try to touch the heart
Of the people. Second movement Andante very expressive, it touch my heart and soul! I played also this passionate piece.
I feel like playing again! Thanks for sharing.
The Mozart that I loved. Such a world genius plus the pianist makes the perfect match. Amazing
What supreme elegance and musicality. All the tempi are precise and the variations revealed an exquisite taste. ❤
Thanks for this with us! It's gorgeous!!
I love the way he does remark his expressions with the way he plays the piano.
Zimerman one of the very few who understans how to (TRANSCRIBE) piano forte music to the modern piano, for which it was NOT written. The modern piano usually desstroys the character of Mozart and Bach. But Mr. Zimerman understands this challenge and has made the necessary adaptations. Usually, I cannot listen to Mozart played on a modern piano. It is a truly enchanting performance and reveals a great sensativity and musical sense that few possess, My advice is to seek an historical piano forte maker and buy on to play according to the original sound Mozart had in mind. But this here is none the less, very beautifully played.
+Ron Walker One explanation to this could be that Krystian Zimerman learned how to exchange the keyboard of a grand piano himself. (This was necessary for him when he grew up. It was much cheaper to do it yourself.)
This is not a transcription by any definition. Since the invention of the modern piano there are hundreds of great pianists who understand perfectly well how to use technique and musicality to make Mozart sound good and true. In this regard there is nothing special about Zimerman. That is not to say that he isn't a fine pianist by all standards.
@@MusikPiratCH exchange? For what? Another keyboard? It's very simple, just pull it out and slide in another one.
He has the loveliest hand of anyone playing.
Martha Argerich...
Bruh I’m listening to this while looking at my own sheet music because I’m learning this for grade 9, I’m not very good at timing it’s just never been my jam but this helps a tremendous amount! Just by watching I can feel his movements, he’s amazing❤ listening to songs also helps me decide if I actually want to play them because I know what they sounds like. Idk I’m rambling but I’m very grateful for this video and this man!
I feel so delightful while listening his playing.
What a talented n gifted pianist.
He is playing so naturally and musically. Very talented pianist.
He is said to be the best of all time

The spirit of Mozart’music will live on forever never to die in the hearts of Mozart Lovers ❤
wow this man's touch is amazing
Thank you for up loading Mr.Zimerman one of the. best pianist .
he has one of the most perfect techniques in my estimation.
Love Zimerman's love of piano. He is very expressive and his runs are so natural. If alive today, Mozart would be impressed with the way his composition(s) are performed by Krystian Zimerman. So beautifully played by a master.
You are very young , listen in first pianists 1960 ' Clara Haskil Lily Krauss ...
the turn at 10:00 was surely the most beautiful one that Ive ever encountered
He uses more rubato in the slow movement than I have heard in other performances. Very effective. He really brings out the melody line, too.
it's sad but healing music. i can feel mozart's sadness because i lost my grandfa when i heard this music. And in the 3rd part, i can feel he was refreshed. it can be helpful to read his behind story.
오석동 I feel like this music is very happy music
Magnifique musique et magnifiquement interprétée!
Un bonheur pour les oreilles!
I have yet to see better interpretation than this one by Zimerman. I have listened to Pletnev, Horowitz, and Uchida, but this one is still my favourite.
Mozart’s melody could be said the most harmonious music of Beauty and Simplicity in a word.
The music should never sweat - Mozart. This performance is the embodiment of his philosophy.
Thankyou for posting this , i usex to have two beautiful volumes of the compleate mozart piano sonatas as my mother used to play them and this one k330 is too beautiful beyond words, zimmerman's interpretation stands head and shoulders above the rest and have played it over and over again,its a wonderful thing too have it in ones head and i feel nothing else matters as i llay it through ,all my worries have gone now!!
There are no right words to describe how much I LOVE this dude.
I might be depressed and suicidal for almost ten years now, but I swear, just a brief moment of listening him playing + looking at his facial expressions gives me a strenght to postpone my demise once again
Voyez toutes les merveilles musicales, naturelles, un oiseau, un ruisseau, un regard tendre, quelques nuages, la beauté d'une main...Vivez donc malgré vos souffrances, nous ne faisons que quelques pas sur cette terre , faisons les légers, doux, harmonieux, fraternels, resplendissants !
