@@lczq6737 read up "Scherzo and Trio" form on wikipedia. it's a type of structure in music, most commonly seen in the 3rd movements of classical-era sonatas and symphonies
Wow... definitely a very powerful and warm rendition of that sonata. I guess that's no surprise since apparently he worked with Boris Berman for his master's degree and now Andre Laplante. Somehow I absolutely never heard about this guy before the Chopin piano competition. In this age of young superstars competing to be the youngest admitted at Juilliard or Curtis, of for the earliest debut at Carnegie Hall, it's kind of refreshing to see an "older" guy succeed. He went through the "regular" local university and eventually emerged as a mature and very competent pianist. Congrats.
yes, so true, and especially since Curtis and Julliard now accept anyone over their own countrymen. Some of those total foreigners get in because someone important there patronizes them. Some of them are 'freak of nature' type prodigies who later push all sorts of gimmicks, but that doesn't make them the most quality musicians in the long run. This guy truly is a respectable and honest continuation for the likes of Richter and Zimmerman. No gimmicks here.
Yeah but he did his BA, at the crucial age of 18-22, at McGill. It's a great, world-renowned university, but not for its piano department, which - and this is just a statement of fact - is not considered world class like Julliard, Curtis, Yale or even the Cleveland Institute of Music.
JUILLIARD? CURTIS? WHAT ABOUT THE MAGNIFICENT STUDIES BEING CARRIED OUT IN UCRAIN, RUSSIA, FRANCE, GERMANY, ETC. WE DO NO LONGER PAY JUST IN USA PETRO DOLLARS.
In my opinion i like the way Trifonov played that melody which was in a recording from Chopin competition. It’s at 14:24, ua-cam.com/video/_LtmeGgtJNA/v-deo.html
Marvelous. Clear and long phrasing, contrasts, rich palette of sounds, Chopin like it should be. And this amazing accelerando in the end (24:47)... WOW!
I have to agree this interpretation is totally awesome... Saw him play it live in Montreal. I have to say Daniil Trifonov's version is also something to be proud of...
@@yanicsoulieres5088 Montrealer myself and very proud of this great musician. I would say listen to Sultanov's (Tokyo recital) interpretation, too. He was unreal.
This is the best ever interpretation of this sonata. His virtuosity is especially demonstrated in the fourth movement. He deserves the first prize. BRAVO, Charles!
Genialny pianista, genialne wykonanie. Kompozytor też był niezły 😊😊 A tak serio to Charles był moim faworytem już od samego początku. Jeśli ktoś umie tak grać, że we mnie wszystko jest poruszone, to nie sposób nie zachwycać się pianistą. Fenomen. Szczęśliwie w wakacje 2016 miałam okazję wysłuchać go też na żywo na koncercie w Filharmonii. Chopina słucham od 1980 roku, wiele konkursów za mną. A Kanadyjczyk skradł me muzyczne serce. Może jeszcze kiedyś będę miała okazję go posłuchać. On czuje Chopina dokładnie tak jak ja, z każdą subtelnością lub siła dźwięku. Bardzo się cieszę, że on do nas przyjechał, że miałam okazję go poznać.
It's as if he was playing a beginning piece - absolutely effortlessly. Really jealous! To play this well you need it all - virtuoso technique, artistic depth, structural knowledge. Like many pieces you have to know it so well that all the concentration is on the interpretation, phrasing and "story".
A noble and warm interpretation! Everything is so completely thought through, nothing is haphazard. Gorgeously burnished tone quality (from a Yamaha, no less).
He's a Yamaha artist. I think people aren't aware of the CFX apart from the often bright C series that they are used to hearing or G or U1 and U3 type of uprights. That's why they are surprised by this instrument. The CFX is a significant change for Yamaha's sound.
Yes, as does the Shigeru Kawai SK-EX in this competition. Some put the Fazioli that's in this competition in an even higher rung. Different pianos have different characteristics. I know the CFX. It's a totally re-engineered, redesigned Yamaha with a new tonal character that Yamaha has now put into some of their other grands. But it's a new instrument, just introduced in 2010. People go with what they see, not what they're hearing. The CFX is a very lyrical instrument. It's the Hamburg Steinway that has the more bold, big tone and I don't find it as lyrical as the Yamaha. By comparison, this Yamaha is delicate. Both are great. But they are very different. The Steinway sings too, but differently. Viva la difference. It's nice for the listener to hear a lot of fine pianos rather than the same Steinway all of the time.
One of the most beautiful versions of this sonata I have heard. Charles Richard-Hamelin brings each note to life. He is super creative and his technique is impeccable. Bravo !
This piano piece is it for me. I've been listening to a recording for many years, of Malcolm Fraser playing this piece on an excellent Telarc recording, and whenever I listen to it, I am put into a trance-like state, in awe of Chopin's god-like brilliance. There's no more beautiful a piano piece ever written; it is musical perfection.
That feeling of weightlessness @ 23:50 ... Unmatched by any other performance I know of. Truly one of the best Chopin Sonata 3 performances ever - duly rewarded by Mr. Zimerman himself.
@@irvinnguyen6485 Thanks, wasn't aware of that detail. Come to think of it, ''modern caleb'' actually changed my mind, he's ABSOLUTELY right. That added weight, yeah... Gosh, how could I possibly have missed that............
Hamelin never got a no in all his rounds and he is the only one to do so! Both him and Cho are great, though i honestly listen more to Hamelin and like more his concerto.
j k hdhdhahahaag well I wouldn’t go that far, he only plays like a robot in a way that he is seemingly always 100% precise. I love his playing but this is the way of the modern pianist, no mistakes etc. That wasn’t important back in the day, with players like Horowitz. Even Liszt was said to have made many mistakes while playing
@@finngape8503 Actually there are a few mistakes. But being flawless does not mean one plays like a robot. Cmon , this guy plays like a robot? Maybe in 1000 years with AI at its best.
This young gentleman is a true artist. I have rarely heard such depth, passion, sense of line, solid technique in one individual. This rendition of the b minor sonata is one to keep listening to for more and more discoveries. Carl Filtsch, a child prodigy, was still a boy when he was taking lessons from Chopin himself in 1841. After a performance, Chopin put his hand on his shoulder and exclaimed, "That, ladies, is called talent". I would dare say that Chopin might have put his hand on mr. Hamelin's shoulder and uttered the same words. We will never know, but there's great talent here, no doubt.
Ravi ! I see Cho everywhere but this man has what I think might endear him to audience . There must be great teachers surely in Canada ! A very masculine no cheap emotion performance . I've never heard it at this almost too fast tempo esp . since he does have a beauiful sound . Perfect tempo in the skittish scherzo . The Largo might be the most beautiful thing Chopin ever wrote .
Le plus grand interprète de Chopin de ce concours, le réel premier prix. Sonorité, intensité du discours et surtout il laisse la musique s'exprimer et non l'inverse. La vrai grandeur: la simplicité, la profondeur et il est l'interprète qui sert la musique.
So much smiling and PUREEEEEST JOY from this sexy man. He is enjoyin playing it so much he cannot help but, smile. PIANIST LIKE THIS is what inspires me.
Grandissimo musicista......: controllo assoluto del suono, padronanza della forma e grande sensibilità. Lo Yamaha é uno strumento coerente e comodo, ma il Fazioli avrebbe esaltato ancor di più la sua innata cantabilità. In finale sicuramente!!
Yeah! That young man pianist with the ‘Ole sage soul certainly knows” whereof he affirms.” I noticed this video some days ago but resisted because of the splendid interpretations I have heard of late. Well, this is just as impressive. This sonata being so very cryptic elusive in concept and progression will maintain it’s modernity and poetic fire relevance for all time. Chopin had to had been extremely pleased and exultant in this piece. It would be interesting to know how long he practiced it to perfection. The last movement was taken at an absolutely breathtaking clip. I feared it would break down except this young man’s heroic mastery pushed every limit to the max and then back again. I, of course, am glad I reconsidered to take this epic journey. Thank you Mr. Charles for an exemplary exposition of one of my all time favorites! You have a brilliant career ahead of you for sure! PWG
Many listeners below say this is the “best” Chopin B minor Sonata, but it’s not clear which others they’ve heard. To offer selective context here are thoughts on some famous contenders: - Percy Grainger, who thought this the finest of all sonatas - including Beethoven’s! - reveals its structure as only a composer can while singing with Aussie open-air lyricism ; - Alfred Cortot’s romantic sensibility for me is more redolent of Schumann, Liszt and Cesar Franck than the more classical Chopin (but note that this is heresy); - Josef Hofmann left only a test of the first movement, in the “non-spectacular” style he saved for the studio, as opposed to the concert hall. It’s must-hear because at his scrupulous best no one matched Hofmann’s mastery, as his friend Rachmaninoff happily conceded; - Dinu Lipatti is perfection for countless cognoscenti, but to hear him at his most vital find the few live performances, especially the E minor concerto and encores that follow; - Guiomar Novaes (how did Philips exclude her from their Great Pianists series?) is dramatic in a ‘40s studio recording, then dreamy for Vox in the ‘50s but always uniquely poetic; - Rubinstein waited decades to commit this sonata to posterity and the results are worth it, but (as I heard many times) he was also more unbuttoned in person; - Martha Argerich’s early EMI recording is magnificent and not as incendiary as she could be in person; - Zimerman and Pollini are perhaps too self-conscious; - Nelson Goerner’s “debut” on EMI is another must-hear, with many of Richard-Hamelin’s virtues, including long lines, warmth and attention to detail that never draws attention to itself. In fact, I would place both those performances at or near the top - if we must have a top. And we don’t. Chopin is too great for that. Thanks for letting me rattle on.
YES INDEED, CHOPIN NEVER SOUNDED SO BEAUTIFUL AS UNDER THE HANDS OF HAMELIN. A GENUINE SENSE OF ORGANIC NATURAL MUSICALITY, AS BEAUTIFUL AS NATURE ITSELF.
Une remarquable interprétation de la troisième sonate, équilibrée et puissante ! Chaque prestation de Charles Richard-Hamelin me séduit. Quel pianiste !
Interesting when reading these comments for different pianists they all say the same thing; he's the best, he should win, most interesting and mesmerizing Performance and so on. It's like every listener has his/her pianist that they think should win.
This is the exact playing of Chopin ! I have listened to numerous versions and performances of this piece but only this is the closest to Chopin's own way of playing this piece as I heard him in my dream !
@@amber40494 I’m serious though! I saw Chopin in a dream playing this piece and it’s close to this style but Chopin’s style was also so singing and at times he played so slow and trajectory at other times but in such a good way that is so unique! I still hear his playing in my ears and it’s so sublime but also close to this rendition!
Limpida come acqua chiara la Tua interpretazione....sublime per la consapevole maturità dei lunghi anni di studio che Ti donano , Maestro , lo scettro sicuro di meritata vittoria. Eppur io quando voglio vedere e sentire il Polacco correre sulla tastiera scelgo senza dubbio Kate....che ti penetra come dardo il cuore....e non si fa più dimenticare..... Grazie Maestro che lunga sia la Tua Carriera! Marco Rotondi
Fougue, amour limpide, maîtrise parfaite du jeu, sens extraordinaire du sens musical, je suis émue aux larmes, Charles. Ne t'inquiète pas, ton coeur est pur comme un diamant, je suis convaincue que tu auras une très belle place au ciel ! Je remercie le ciel pour ton don ! Merci de l'avoir développé avec tant de consécration. Ne sens-tu pas que cette musique sublime ne peut qu'avoir été inspirée par une force supérieure, divine? La mère de Chopin rappelait constamment à son fils la bonté de Dieu, dans ses lettres à lui, et Lui rendait grâce.

- Josef Hofmann left only a test of the first movement, in the “non-spectacular” style he saved for the studio, as opposed to the concert hall. It’s must-hear because at his scrupulous best no one matched Hofmann’s mastery, as his friend Rachmaninoff happily conceded;
- Dinu Lipatti is perfection for countless cognoscenti, but to hear him at his most vital find the few live performances, especially the E minor concerto and encores that follow;
- Guiomar Novaes (how did Philips exclude her from their Great Pianists series?) is dramatic in a ‘40s studio recording, then dreamy for Vox in the ‘50s but always uniquely poetic;
- Rubinstein waited decades to commit this sonata to posterity and the results are worth it, but (as I heard many times) he was also more unbuttoned in person;
- Martha Argerich’s early EMI recording is magnificent and not as incendiary as she could be in person;
- Zimerman and Pollini are perhaps too self-conscious;
- Nelson Goerner’s “debut” on EMI is another must-hear, with many of Richard-Hamelin’s virtues, including long lines, warmth and attention to detail that never draws attention to itself.
In fact, I would place both those performances at or near the top - if we must have a top. And we don’t. Chopin is too great for that. Thanks for letting me rattle on.

Une remarquable interprétation de la troisième sonate, équilibrée et puissante !
Chaque prestation de Charles Richard-Hamelin me séduit. Quel pianiste !
Especially the ending was just fantastic
Charles Le ROI !!! Congratulations!
Simply amazing!
Sublime... extraordinaire interprétation... j'adore !
Interesting when reading these comments for different pianists they all say the same thing; he's the best, he should win, most interesting and mesmerizing Performance and so on. It's like every listener has his/her pianist that they think should win.
Incredible performance!!
最後の最後にまだテンポが上がるのすごいなー。
This is the exact playing of Chopin ! I have listened to numerous versions and performances of this piece but only this is the closest to Chopin's own way of playing this piece as I heard him in my dream !
Haha!
@@amber40494 I’m serious though! I saw Chopin in a dream playing this piece and it’s close to this style but Chopin’s style was also so singing and at times he played so slow and trajectory at other times but in such a good way that is so unique! I still hear his playing in my ears and it’s so sublime but also close to this rendition!
Brilliant performance! I had goosebumps all over me as I was listening.
Limpida come acqua chiara la Tua interpretazione....sublime per la consapevole maturità dei lunghi anni di studio che Ti donano , Maestro , lo scettro sicuro di meritata vittoria.
Eppur io quando voglio vedere
e sentire il Polacco correre sulla tastiera scelgo senza dubbio Kate....che ti penetra come dardo il cuore....e non si fa più dimenticare.....
Grazie Maestro che lunga sia la Tua Carriera!

quel tempo rapide et quelle précision dans le 4ème mouvement!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fougue, amour limpide, maîtrise parfaite du jeu, sens extraordinaire du sens musical, je suis émue aux larmes, Charles. Ne t'inquiète pas, ton coeur est pur comme un diamant, je suis convaincue que tu auras une très belle place au ciel ! Je remercie le ciel pour ton don ! Merci de l'avoir développé avec tant de consécration. Ne sens-tu pas que cette musique sublime ne peut qu'avoir été inspirée par une force supérieure, divine? La mère de Chopin rappelait constamment à son fils la bonté de Dieu, dans ses lettres à lui, et Lui rendait grâce.
내 인생 소나타다...
I never realized how much insipiration Scriabin took from Chopin (extremely evident in this Sonata)
I'm touched he's the performance l look forwored to becoming a great pianist
I want to give you a hug, Hamelin. :)
This is a real highlight of the entire competition. Reminds me of the classic Martha Argerich version from Abbey Road studios in 1965.
i think there is more soul and heart here than in Argerich's playing
I think that's a safe bet, whether you've heard Argerich or not.
@@comment6864 Oh, I think she was pretty cautious in those days. It wasn't too long since here year of depression. It's remarkable she came back so strong.
@@comment6864 I think this is the best sonata op 58
이게 벌써 9년전이네.. 쇼소3은 아믈랭버전이 취향인거같아요..
Beautiful !
Pienso que es lo del mejores pianistas de nuestros tiempos...
I am looking forward to studying this piece and recording it in the future, this beautiful interpretation has inspired me a lot. Amazing Performance ! Thank you Chopin Institute, Dawid.
