Ballade No. 4 in F minor, Op. 52 (1842-1843)
Nikolai Lugansky, 2019
From Mariinsky Theatre
“... The music of this Ballade imitates nothing, illustrates nothing. It expresses a world that is experienced and represents a world that is possible, ideal and imagined.”
Mieczysław Tomaszewski, Fryderyk Chopin Institute
Those five quiet chords amidst the tumult of the coda are just breathtaking.
Agreed, my friend
When?

The Ballade 4 might be considered as Chopin's greatest achievment : here, he leads us where pure music (free from words and images) springs, and to the insanest pleasure.
Opus 52 and 58 are really the height of his work, IMO. It all came together right there. This is a wonderful interpretation.
All his ballades are Chopin’s greatest achievement, imo.
I hate to always see the comment "greatest pianist" for everyone from the 16-year-old newbie to the 70-year-old renowned pianist. So let me just state that Lugansky continues to show that his is a huge talent and he is a master!
Perfect comment.
There is NOT the best oianist nor.the interpretation !!! There are hundreds of fantastic artists !!!!!
@@francoriva55Agreed
やばいです、私この演奏大好き！！
美しさ、静謐、力強さ、激しさ…全部ある。
光と影のコントラストがきちんと見える。
素晴らしい芸術でした。ありがとう。
❤j ai toujours aimé Luganski. J adore son immense sensibilité, sa virtuosité sans nom... Si expressif... Et qd il interprète ce génie qu est Chopin .....❤❤❤❤❤
In my opinion, the best interpretation ever. perfect accent, very powerful but without exceed, and furthermore; catches a melody unlike to others perfomances. Just amazing.
Zimerman's recording can't be topped
@@damland1357 Maybe Zimerman's Ballade No. 1 can't be topped, but his Ballade No. 4 certainly can, and Lugansky's is a good example of that
@@AdrianC117 Lugansky’s recording unfortunately doesn’t come close to Zimermans in regards to Ballade 4, yet this is just opinion of course.
@@AdrianC117 For me, Zimerman’s timing, rubato, dynamic range, everything is nearly perfect and the only recording I’ve heard come close is from Bernd Glemser. Another truly wonderful recording
@@damland1357zimmerman’s no 2 and 3 definitely can’t be topped for sure tho
That one dislike is from someone who can't wait the Ballade n°5.
Over Nacho
What does “That one is from who can’t wait the ballade the n05” mean?

Apparently, I cannot read. LOL.
@@zuhairbakdoud1360 you deleted ur previous comment buffoon.
@@bakuto.1055 The grammar in the original comment is poor, naturally it will be confusing to some people
Supernatural technique and musical insight, Lugansky is in total fusion with the music.
Very powerful. Thank you, Mr. Lugansky!
Oh boy! I truly needed that. WONDERFUL> I actually forgot to breathe then ended up with goosebumps.. Simply love Chopin, my fairytale Prince.
If the Polonaise-Fantasie is the masterpiece and King of all of Chopins compositions, the 4th ballade is definitely the Queen.
Sublime interpretation from Mr Lugansky again ! Some subtle difference between his own performance before.
this deserve way more views tho
His Chopin is daring and bold, something only the very technically confident can do
Such a great piece of music! Such great artistry! And I am probably the only one who will say how much I appreciate him wearing a tux with tails and white vest and white bow tie for a change! I'm so tired of men walking out on stage wearing a black shirt unbuttoned at the neck! I find it disrespectful not only to the tradition, but also to the music and the composer, to whom they owe more gratitude! I just love dressing up. I'm old! I'm not a big fan of modern changes! Rant over! Very well done Maestro Lugansky!
Damn, that coda! Extraordinary!
It’s really fierce and dramatic; that’s how it should be. A really powerful interpretation Maestro. Bravo!
Leaves an impression that's for sure
Non c’è nessuno come lui ❤
Heartbreaking, best interpretation ever!!!
This performance is epic. Almost cried
Love it! Masterpiece and Virtuoso 👏🏻
Gorgeous performance from an underrated pianist. I can't wait to attend one of his concert as soon I can
He is not underrated. The people who understand music love him. He is just an old-school pianist.
the one and only
The king!
I love how Lugansky plays
Absolutely amazing performance!
At 8:40 in the piece is the highlight for me
The poet is taking off into a dream
You're not there long
but it's the highest you can get in our world
outstanding performance! a master at work❤
Sublime Lugansky..!
Not gonna lie, I do prefer Lugansky's interpretation of coda rather than Zimmerman's one
Just brilliant Nikolai Lugansky bravo
superb
Love it! Beautifully performed. Thank you.
Insane, love his interpretation
Слëзы.... Это было прекрасно.
One of the best version 🙏🏻❤
Should be a FRSM piece not a LRSM, yet Lugansky had complete control on such difficult piece…
Just purely sensational, he made it look so easy and played it with more musicality than any of the other pianist I’ve ever heard of (probably even better than Zimerman in my opinion). He’s now not only the owner of the Musicaux moments but the master of the Chopin Ballades as well 👏
grande introspezione di questo capolavoro
The beasts. Amazing.
and he even have chopin's hands🥰🥰🥰
Прекрасная музыка, которую нужно слушать, отдыхая в мягком кресле, смотря в даль рассеянным взглядом.
Magnificent Lugansky.
9:45 I love the angry (angriest I ever heard) way he plays those chords
this is the real virtuosity
Stunning performance. Absolutely speechless! One of the best performances I have heard of one of the greatest masterpieces ever composed by Chopin or any other composer.
Прекрасное исполнение!
3:39 yesssssssssssssssss
Bravissimo!!!💐💐💐👏👏👏
It's about nothing, like Seinfeld. I just love Lugansky -- also he reminds me of Johnny Depp's lawyer. Lovely tender canonic wanderings at 6:55.
breathtaking coda
Richter considered this to be his workhorse, he played it for his audition.
warhorse
지메르만의 발라드는 정석으로 감정을 후벼파는 느낌이라면 루간스키의 발라드는 조금씩 천천히 후비는 느낌..
In Luganskys Spiel vereinen sich Chopins geheimnisvolle, aber poetisch-logische Erzählung mit seiner phantastisch-bizarren Klanwelt.
8:55 - 9:00. It just feels so warm and beautiful, i LOVE it. I swear i've heard it somewhere before though, anybody have any ideas as to where else this melody has been used?
the very initial part of the time stamp seems like a common transition, but the way Chopin follows that is original to my ear, since he transitions to his original theme in the piece anyway.
rach 3 third movement the last 2-3 minutes
Sounds like a fusion of liebestraum and rach to me
Indeed 9.00 and further is probably the most beautiful passage Chopin ever composed.
It’s probably the single greatest passage of music Chopin ever wrote
Bravo!!!!!
Badass ❤
8:55-9:00, how did he manage to bring out the melody so much? Can some one please tell me what should I do to allow my right hand to flow smoothly like that but let the surplus notes on my right hand disappear naturally.
Exaggerating the melody notes while playing the other. Playing the whole section slowly. That is what helped me. Also, I found after playing a note with your pinky, when you go to play a note with your 2nd or third, its easy for your pinky to naturally raise up. I believe there is an excercise for keeping your hand relaxed and keeping your pinky and fourth finger from raising up when your are playing from your third or 2nd finger. Hopefully this makes sense. I recommend you try looking for videos or tutorials on technique from Josh Wright UA-cam. He has a masterclass on this piece that you do have to pay for. He covers the section you are asking about and has really great piano tips for practicing.
Horowitz did it too these guys are not from this planet
Over 9 months of practicing I managed those 2 bars, now only 237 more bars to complete the piece
Là, il est "at home", dans toute sa perfection !

Coda: 10:17
Just sensational this man plays the coda with intensity matching the whole piece despite my amateur ear I would say this man added more emotion and emphasis to the real piece
Albeit it still is the real piece but it still sounds like his own.
This man is one of greatist alive pianists
Iee muy bello❤❤

와우 굿❤
7:00 How does one create a snowfall.
9:53 Note how he kept the hands on the keyboard avoiding the clapping of the ignorants who would have completely destroyed the piece. See Yundi at the Carnegie Hall
Luganski certainly has the technique to express what this superhuman composition is saying to the universe...
Chopin was French on his father’s side, and he spent more than half his life - 20 years- in Paris. So some consider him FRENCH: Some say that if you offered Chopin a ticket to go to Poland, he would given back to you. I wonder why.
Nonsense. He was ferociously patriotic for Poland.
I had the same question. Poland shaped his personality, whilst french culture enriched his music.
CT Lee,
Thank you, Sir. You expressed it beautifully. (l mean Chopin and his music.)
Some say, if Chopin’s father hadn’t been French, then Chopin wouldn’t have been a great composer.
He had more economic opportunity and cosmopolitan life in Paris. It doesn't mean he didn't love his fatherland.
He WAS ferociously patriotic, but he did not want to live in Poland. There was nothing for his music in Poland.
Very very good.
Great
Ey, Arima Kousei! When he looks up at the start😂
10:19 coda begins
Too fast in some special moments, that doesn't give a listener the possibility to enjoy their tenderness.
Excellent technique, but his slow tempi are too slow, and fast tempi are too fast. He reminds me a bit of Liberace.
10:36(10:40)
Послушайте Алексея Султанова. У него все баллады Шопена прекрасны.
Why does he start the arpeggios before the beat? Chopin gave explicit instructions that you shouldn't play like that.

Аристократизм и утончённость!

Грубовато
Циммерман показал уровень
Coda starts too fast and doesn’t make sense. Some great playing, but this interpretation is certainly not my favouirte .
Дочка у Николая пришла в Кремль в футболке"Свободу Навальному.... " И сидела в первом ряду перед Василичем...
Шопен не для него...жаль, но грубо...

Зачем, если это уже сделали другие?
"Сыграйте лучше" это чисто позиция дауна.
Where...is...the...warmth...the...poetry? All..is...too...declarative.
In your opinion.
Why...do...you...type...like...this?
at 5:30 he just brezzes through the whole thing, as it shouldn't be emphasized.
Where.......are.......your.........ears?
La Tua Maestra Tatiana dal Cielo ti guarda e gioisce! Bravo bravo, Pupillo mio! Le mie molte cure hanno portato buon frutto!
The greatest pianist of this era to replace Richter Gilels and Horowitz
Russians !
