He was 15 when I first spotted Jan, and then I fell in love with his music ever since his delivery of Schumann's piano concerto Nr1 in A minor when he was 18 and the debut soloist at Proms, with Papano conducting. For this spectacular performance in Essen, Germany, check out how he had deliberately chosen a pair of socks concert-goers may frown upon, but Jan did it to make a subtle statement:: the spirit of the program for that occasion could thus be best matched. Bravo, Jan, we love your music and any-/everything you do with it. God bless!!
Mr. Lisiecki plays with such warmth. His music was really comforting to me when i had moved away to college and was met with a variety of academic and social stressors. His music was enough to make 18 year-old me cry.
Wonderful concert! No one can play the piano so strongly, soulfully, tenderly and temperamentally. Music comes to life in the hands of Jan Lisiecki. Thank you for sharing the recording of this concert! In these difficult times, music, like a lamp of kindness, can comfort and entertain us, heal emotional wounds and give us strength to act and move forward.✨🦊👑✨🌞💛✨🕊🌻🎼🎹🎶🌸💖
Eu tive prazer em vê-lo aqui em São Paulo no Teatro de Cultura Artística, setembro de 2024.Maravilhoso , sublime, único, um talento que nos tornou muito felizes e agradecidos . Esse vídeo estou vendo hoje 20/9/2024.😅😅😅
Todvardeman: With a minimal effort, I could name about 20 (maybe more) pianists who DON'T play with their entire bodies, and yet manage quite well, thank you, to 'present' themselves in a most professional, 'audience-pleasing' way. If the nearly violent shaking of Jan's head (mostly during rapid passages), and the shuffling, 'restless-leg-syndrome' don't cause you any distraction, then fine! I can't possibly believe that I'm alone in noticing (how could any conscious person not see it?) these mannerisms. The fact that he's a superb performer makes it even more of a pity that he's (apparently) unaware of this quirky habit. Of course all this comes to nothing, compared to the extensive, theatrical gallery of super-sized distractions generated by a certain double-named Chinese pianist.
@@richardvolpe7664 Interesting comment. Who ever said that only certain movements qualified performances as "audience-pleasing"? Jan's subtle shaking, Lang Lang's theatrical flair, Daniil Trifonov's slouched posture, Vladimir Horowitz's straight fingers are evidences that talent manifests itself in diverse ways. I appreciate the individuality that makes each artist captivating in their own special way -- there is no 'right' formula.
@@beckseamons You see Jan's head-trembling as subtle? Try watching him for five minutes with the sound turned off. Lang's flair is merely theatrical? Try watching his Rach 3rd, Tchaikovsky 1st, Rhapsody in Blue, his hard-to-stomach "Tristesse" etude of Chopin (just to mention a few), and you may be tempted to add the phrase "circus-worthy." If 'slouching' were Daniil's only mannerism - - don't we wish! His whole-body jerking and writhing, hopping off the bench (and the impossibly messy hair!) - - - you regard all of this as "captivating individuality?" And Vladimir's straight fingers aren't even worth being included in this discussion. They're nothing, compared to Lang's nauseating floating, lotus-blossom, effeminate hand/arm displays. Well, I guess we should just chalk all this, plus Jan's distracting leg-shuffling, up to, as you say, "manifested evidences of talent."
@@richardvolpe7664I enjoy seeing someone be one with the music. Jan Lisiecki's movements remind me of Glenn Gould's, and watching them play makes me more immersed and passionate about the music that is played. They're not distracting, quite the opposite.
@@antoinepetrov All right, but then I have to ask. . . All those other pianists (if I had the time, I could easily list about 25 of them) who conduct themselves calmly as they play (no discernable mannerisms). . . do they "leave you cold, UNimmersed and UNpassionate about the music being played? Are all those facial and physical contortions (think Lang, Trifonov, & of course Lisiecki) necessary, or at least, helpful, for you to "get into the music" more deeply? If so, then recordings of these "mannered" pianists must do nothing for you. Is that the idea?

He certainly plays well, both musically and technically. I have CD's of his Schumann, Chopin and Mendelssohn, and look forward to future recordings by this fine pianist. However, I feel compelled to mention something that takes away from the overall effects of his public performances. I hope I won't sound petty when I point out a most distracting mannerism which, as it turns out, is similar to another pianist, Olli Mustonen, namely, an all-too-conspicuous and entirely unnecessary twitching of the head. It serves no purpose whatsoever, and its constant presence is impossible to ignore. It's a shame that such a fine-looking young man (and what hair!) would somehow 'latch onto' this kind of noticeable affectation. Some may see this as being a result of deep concentration, but not everyone. Then, there's a second very obvious distraction: his left leg which can't quite decide where it should be - - it's all over the place, moving toward the pedal (but not employing it) and then sliding backwards. This "to-and-fro" business, coupled with the head jerking - - well, I've made my point. Now I'll have to sit back and wait for the hateful responses to come my way, but I must remind viewers that I have considerable admiration for this artist. We can expect great things from him in the coming years.
you are right. I watched without sound than it becomes obvious. But a lot of pianists do this head nodding (just watch Tiffany Poon she is even worse with it). I also prefer the old school approach of 20 th century, just more elegant.
Oh my god! Have you nothing better to get agitated over than this petty faux-fault-finding? If you weren’t watching him would you hear any difference? As for me, I am driven to distraction - DISTRACTION I say - by your punctuation. I can never read another thing you write because of how distracting your punctuation is.
@@philshallat9043 Look - - the trembling head and shuffling foot ARE distractions, no matter how you slice it! The only other pianist I know of who twitches his head like crazy is Olli Mustonen. So they're BOTH distracting, okay? The only thing that "agitates" me is your failure to take into account that as an owner of several of his CD's, I'm a fan of his playing, but not his mannerisms. My punctuation? I always thought it was pretty good, actually. The word is poorly chosen; perhaps you meant "style" or "approach." Who knows? Well, excuse me now - - I'm about to prowl around in search of more shaking heads and restless legs, since, as you so aptly supposed, I have nothing better to do.
@@richardvolpe7664Don’t use a double hyphen with a space in the middle. What you really want is an M dash - a dash the width of a capital M - but UA-cam text doesn’t support it. And I agree his affectations are distracting. I just close my eyes.

Pianists play with their entire bodies.

Crisp notes ; light hands like Horowitz.

A mnie te ruchy głową i noga podobają się. Pianista to nie słup z ruchliwymi dłońmi. Lubię taką ekspresję, to cudowny żywy artysta a nie automat.
