I remember hearing my father play this in a recital he gave in 1971 when I was 9 years old. I’ll never forget thinking ‘My dad is amazing’ as I listened.❤️
@@voraciousreader3341 posture is one of the fundamentals in playing piano! His is almost perfect, but a perfect posture would be the one of Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, arguably the best pianist of the 20th century.
From all the Zimmerman recordings, this is my favourite. His expressions (both facial and body) shows a level of excitement that definitely belongs to a scherzo. Most of his other video recordings of him show him playing in a conservative manner: no exaggerated motion. But this one, Zimmerman couldn't hide his excitement, and it shows in his body language. It's interesting to see a different side of Zimmerman. Of course, the auditory aspects are amazing too. Grand and loud but not banging, utterly magical, exciting, clean phrasing... Amazing interpretation. Out of all his interpretations, this one is the one that captivate me the most. I wish I can hear him live just once in my lifetime...
He's Surely on of the best. If you get a chance listen to Kissin's Chopin piano Concerto #2. It's about 47 minutes. You might be reborn in to Chopin if that's even possible.
It is the 10th time I am seeing in a single week Wonderful never heard someone play the scherzo 2 this good. It is a pleasure hearing zimerman play. Bravissimo
This is my favorite Chopin piece. The drama and change in sections are all yet wholly joined....a strong, even, masculine, assertive minor key representation for sure.
Friends it is seeming to be the last hour, and I desire that you acknowledge the God that does exist, and his Son Jesus the Christ, know that you cannot get your righteousness and enter the kingdom of Heaven, by deeds or following the law, but by having your faith in the Holy One who makes your righteous through faith. Be converted, have the Holy Spirit, humble yourself, do not be a hypocrite (we are all guilty of this, I am EXTREMELY GUILTY of this), REPENT AND CONFESS YOUR SINS and ask for forgiveness, read the Bible, be baptised in the name of Jesus. Read the Bible read the Bible read the Bible. Start in the 4 Gospel books, Matthew Mark Luke and John, believe what you read, and be changed, and sanctified, be a sheep of Christ's, ❤ Grace and peace be unto you saints
I know it's been 4 years since your comment, but I'd love to know what differences you found between this interpretation and the one you heard! Greetings.
Er spielt mit so vielen Ausdrück und die Pausen kommen so natürlich, daß es aussieht, daß er improvvisierend sei. Es ist immer eine besondere Freude, him zu hören. Danke euch allen.
Bravo Kristian 💐. Excellent 👍 . This is the correct performance of Chopin . sit correctly & facial expressions are professional . Such a beautiful & luxury place . Thanx Deutsche Grammophon . 🌹
Call me crazy but the mannerisms shown @2:38 I’ve seen in Seong Jin Ho and Yundi Li at some point. Not sure if it’s just a coincidence. Particularly since Seong Jin Ho mentioned Zimmerman was one of his heroes😊.
1966 Martha Argerich provides an incredible range of nuances without even using the "una corda" pedal (I think) like Zimerman does. She also got more rhythmical nerve and shuts sharply the sound on the staccato notes before the silence values. Zimerman is yet splendid as always.
Whats going on at around 4:50 (and other similar passages like 6:30)? The right hand is written, in alternate bars, crotchet quaver quaver triplet but he plays crotchet then 2 sets of triplets in these bars... is this how Chopin meant it to be?
Of course this is absolutely wonderful. But, I think my favourite interpretations of the Scherzi are a bit madder, more like a mental breakdown expressed through the keys than an elegant or romantic song...
Bro yeaa if u compare zimmerman to other pianists in performing chopin u can hardly find decent enemy to match him plus he looks like chopin i even thought at once that he was reincarnation guy of chopin himself XDD if u look at last age photos of chopin the similarity of zimmermans look and chopins look is insane
Cziffra anyone? Not that this isn't wonderful. Horowitz doe it justice as well and no one shapes the music like Rubinstein, imho, mistakes be damned. Thanks for this(5 years later)!
Deutsche Gramophone….do you *_REALLY_* need the extra cash, so that a _commercial_ interrupts a genius playing an exquisite piece of music??? Shame on whomever made this decision! And thumbs down, because you managed to ruin a Kristian Zimerman performance!
I remember hearing my father play
this in a recital he gave in 1971
when I was 9 years old. I’ll never
forget thinking ‘My dad is amazing’
as I listened.❤️
Darius kincaid's son?
@@ssbuzeno No, sorry:)
@@TheToneRoom did you become a pianist yourself?
@@bludika No, I’m a guitarist😁
@@TheToneRoom hah i see
I don't think there is a "correct" way to play chopin...even so, listening to zimerman is always a great pleasure!
But there is an ''incorrect'' way to play Chopin.. If you know what I mean. Zimerman is too good though!!
ㄧ˙ㄧ˙ㄘㄞㄧㄞㄧ
To me his playing sounds as natural as breathing
Nonsense @@mousikopaigmonas23
Horrible! Disgusting! How dare you say such a thing?
Technical excellence and yet the warmth and emotion Chopin would have wanted.
When someone says: „show me how should pianist behave” I show him Kristian Zimmermann❤️
But does anyone ever ask you, and why would they? Ssing how they _play,_ of course, but *_behave??_* It sounds like an animal!

Probably my favorite pianist.
You are everywhere in comments 😂😂😂
O meu também
You likely not his favorite either

@ I don’t like so much Chopin’s concertos, tbh. But I’d surely to love hear him, he is also one of my favorites.
Zimmerman isn't a legend. He is a living legend.
It is the 10th time I am seeing in a single week
Wonderful never heard someone play the scherzo 2 this good. It is a pleasure hearing zimerman play. Bravissimo
Thank you very much! So glad you enjoy it :)
That's probably why he won the chopin competition. no one can play this well. Perfect in all ways possible
Eu ouco 3 vezes por dia kk
Piękno muzyki Fryderyka Chopina to fenomen graniczący z cudem. Brawo Zimerman.
Excellent performance
Perfect timing and articulation. No more words.
This is my favorite Chopin piece. The drama and change in sections are all yet wholly joined....a strong, even, masculine, assertive minor key representation for sure.
Großartig in jeder Hinsicht!
It sounds so soft every time!
Even in the chords, the top note of the main run, and the left hand
How does he do that!
Fine skill and custom voiced piano.

Saw him played this piece in recital weeks ago, with totally different interpretation to this one, but both are amazing.
I know it's been 4 years since your comment, but I'd love to know what differences you found between this interpretation and the one you heard! Greetings.
I love Zimerman's touch- it is so soft and gentle🎉
5:00 brilliant part
Wonderful performance.
Mesmerizing .
Thank you very much K.Zimerman .Bravissimo.❤
And DG too to enable us sharing this part of Eternity.
great depth to the notes, great coloring, it is the first time i hear it like that.
Er spielt mit so vielen Ausdrück und die Pausen kommen so natürlich, daß es aussieht, daß er improvvisierend sei.
Es ist immer eine besondere Freude, him zu hören.
Danke euch allen.
phenomenal music. should at least have 20 million views.
Excellent audio capture!!! (Specially for 1987!!!)
It really highlighted Zimerman's beautiful and expressive piano playing.
Love his performance.....his way of expressing the different moods throughout.
Very wonderful ~ both the Scherzo and the pianist! Thank you so much! ❤
Cudowna muzyka genialnego Chopina, boskie wykonanie.
Bravo Kristian 💐. Excellent 👍 . This is the correct performance of Chopin . sit correctly & facial expressions are professional . Such a beautiful & luxury place . Thanx Deutsche Grammophon . 🌹
3:35 Anyone else loves this part? It’s so calming, to me sounds like the easy days back in childhood. It also sounds very impressionistic and modern.
This is the chuck norris of piano
Bruce le
@@Giorgi_jangavadze bruce lee was chinese
@@stefanozarate814he was 1/4 German.
Zimerman is the best of all lyric pianists❤❤
Definitely one of the top 10 recordings of this explosive composition. Zimerman is a huge influence for me
so cleanly played. its wonderful
Amazing!!!!
Just beautiful! 👍🌟💛
4:33 the moment my soul left my body
What a soul-touching performance!
Beautiful
Zimmerman 의 스케르쵸 연주와 해석에 대한 나의 선입견이 뒤바뀌고 그의 연주의 "느낌"을 얻은 날이다
또한 나에게 커다란 힐링을 줬어요
Notes on 9:48 make my heart melt everytime
well performed with talents
Божественно!!! Божественно!!! Шопен! Скерцо!!! Исполнение!!!😂
Восторг!
3:36 idk but this part has always reminded me of jazz or something similar, chopin was truly an innovator
Maravilloso!!!!
Call me crazy but the mannerisms shown @2:38 I’ve seen in Seong Jin Ho and Yundi Li at some point. Not sure if it’s just a coincidence. Particularly since Seong Jin Ho mentioned Zimmerman was one of his heroes😊.
Stupendo👏👏👏
Technique is amazing
It’s doesn’t matter what’s on the page just as long as you tell the story of what you believe the music is telling you and the people listening
7:51 what a sad moment it is ㅜㅠ
His and Van Cliburn’s performances of this are my absolute favorite.
1966 Martha Argerich provides an incredible range of nuances without even using the "una corda" pedal (I think) like Zimerman does. She also got more rhythmical nerve and shuts sharply the sound on the staccato notes before the silence values. Zimerman is yet splendid as always.
I believe this piece sounds much better without the sharp staccato that doesn’t even allow you to enjoy the greatness of the part
bravo!!
De los mejores ..
Great
Chopin is actually unbelievable😱
0:30 is when piece starts if you wanna skip
It’s a Piece
oh sorry my bad let me fix ot
Whats going on at around 4:50 (and other similar passages like 6:30)? The right hand is written, in alternate bars, crotchet quaver quaver triplet but he plays crotchet then 2 sets of triplets in these bars... is this how Chopin meant it to be?
3:00 zimmerman controls the piano with the left pedal and is using pressure on it with control as well as the left :0
Lol hi
Bravisssimo
4:33
great
Que sala maravilhosa é essa?
Holy cow!!!
Mistrz!
If you listen closely you can hear him hum the melody at times!
Maurizio Pollini, Glenn Gould did the same
Excellent performance. One should also listen to audio recording of Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli on Scherzo 2.
7:50
Very nice interpretation! Also, try to listen this Scherzo interpreted by Alexei Sultanov! Thank you!
00:31
👏👏👏
6:05 叙情
I nearly thought it was Chopin himself who was playing the piece! Zimerman and Chopin are much alike in many aspects.
How on earth would you know that?
0:31
Just incredible.
Advertisements always ruin this wonderful performance
You are so right
7:10 's sound like Etude Op.10 No.12
Yeah that's what I thought
Is it just me or the piano sounds quite sharp
🌟🙏🏼🌟
😍😍😍🤩🤩
Did you notice? He hums to his playing. Like Glen Gould.
I've heard about this since long long ago.
Lang Lang ago 😉😂
Of course this is absolutely wonderful. But, I think my favourite interpretations of the Scherzi are a bit madder, more like a mental breakdown expressed through the keys than an elegant or romantic song...
have you ever heard of Sultanov’s perfomances of this piece? if not - so do it.
I keep thinking he even looks like Chopin 😂😂😂
Bro yeaa if u compare zimmerman to other pianists in performing chopin u can hardly find decent enemy to match him plus he looks like chopin i even thought at once that he was reincarnation guy of chopin himself XDD if u look at last age photos of chopin the similarity of zimmermans look and chopins look is insane

It's Chopin, or Zimmerman?
And so untypical an emding....the last rushing and loud last major key measures ending this B flat minor piece.
Cziffra anyone? Not that this isn't wonderful. Horowitz doe it justice as well and no one shapes the music like Rubinstein, imho, mistakes be damned. Thanks for this(5 years later)!
He looks like the german "Seawolf" Harmstorff 😂

UA-cam-not DG.
He hits the piano too much
😮 Rubinstein plays it better
Nah, Rubinstein feels too agitated and too sloppy. You can hear noticeable mistakes in the climax. (In my opinion)
absolutely not, not only does his recording quality suck, his playing is way worse
bad..
Outstanding !
Show me your performance
edgy teenager replies be like
he played the "Probably because it was mediocre, no offense" card
Bud, you’re the only one saying this performance is bad 💀. Where’s yours? I don’t see it 💀
