This woman always separates her musical intelligence from her ego. When she plays a piece that EVERYONE has played she broadens her base of critics, but she is unique, consistent, almost predictable and very satisfying.
that ending was the best ending to anything, ever. I don't know how she does it, but she especially does it when interpreting chopin: she plays off of silence, refracts it as if from a prism, and it magnifies the the light and shade in the tonality of the piece. That ending was a crescendo of silence. I've never heard anyone do that before.
I watch many young pianist playing this waltz.I dont see them present the genuine essense of waltz.leoskaja is faithful to chopins intention in this piece
I wouldn't want to doubt that Mme Leonskaja is a wonderful and sensitive person, and she surely, is a most accomplished pianist, so why is it then, that I find myself asking how - in this performance - she utterly fails to find (at least to my mind) the voice of Chopin?
Beautiful...really beautiful like matured red wine

Beautiful playing. Chopin played sensitively without preciousness.
sublime

It is there James, loud and clear! 💓
It's very decent playing but it certainly could do with some more imagination.
This is not Chopin....tout simplement.
