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
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.
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
Bravo Kristian 💐. Excellent 👍 . This is the correct performance of Chopin . sit correctly & facial expressions are professional . Such a beautiful & luxury place . Thanx Deutsche Grammophon . 🌹
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.
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😊.
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?
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
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...
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 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?
I remember hearing my father play
this in a recital he gave in 1971
when I was 9 years old. I’ll never

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
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!

Zimmerman isn't a legend. He is a living legend.
Probably my favorite pianist.
You are everywhere in comments 😂😂😂

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.
Piękno muzyki Fryderyka Chopina to fenomen graniczący z cudem. Brawo Zimerman.
phenomenal music. should at least have 20 million views.
Excellent performance
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
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.
Großartig in jeder Hinsicht!
5:00 brilliant part
Perfect timing and articulation. No more words.
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.
I love Zimerman's touch- it is so soft and gentle🎉
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.
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.

Love his performance.....his way of expressing the different moods throughout.
Cudowna muzyka genialnego Chopina, boskie wykonanie.
This is the chuck norris of piano

@@player1giogamer93 bruce lee was chinese
@@stefanozarate814he was 1/4 German.
Wonderful performance.
Mesmerizing .
Thank you very much K.Zimerman .Bravissimo.❤
And DG too to enable us sharing this part of Eternity.
Excellent audio capture!!! (Specially for 1987!!!)
It really highlighted Zimerman's beautiful and expressive piano playing.
great depth to the notes, great coloring, it is the first time i hear it like that.
Zimerman is the best of all lyric pianists❤❤
Very wonderful ~ both the Scherzo and the pianist! Thank you so much! ❤
Definitely one of the top 10 recordings of this explosive composition. Zimerman is a huge influence for me
Zimmerman 의 스케르쵸 연주와 해석에 대한 나의 선입견이 뒤바뀌고 그의 연주의 "느낌"을 얻은 날이다
또한 나에게 커다란 힐링을 줬어요

I believe this piece sounds much better without the sharp staccato that doesn’t even allow you to enjoy the greatness of the part
so cleanly played. its wonderful
What a soul-touching performance!
Just beautiful! 👍🌟💛
well performed with talents
Восторг!
Amazing!!!!
Notes on 9:48 make my heart melt everytime
Beautiful
His and Van Cliburn’s performances of this are my absolute favorite.
Chopin is actually unbelievable😱
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
Technique is amazing
Stupendo👏👏👏
bravo!!
De los mejores ..
Maravilloso!!!!
3:36 idk but this part has always reminded me of jazz or something similar, chopin was truly an innovator
Great
7:51 what a sad moment it is ㅜㅠ
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😊.
If you listen closely you can hear him hum the melody at times!
Maurizio Pollini, Glenn Gould did the same
Bravisssimo
Holy cow!!!
Mistrz!
Excellent performance. One should also listen to audio recording of Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli on Scherzo 2.
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
great
0:30 is when piece starts if you wanna skip
It’s a Piece
oh sorry my bad let me fix ot
Very nice interpretation! Also, try to listen this Scherzo interpreted by Alexei Sultanov! Thank you!
Que sala maravilhosa é essa?
4:33
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?
👏👏👏
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?
Advertisements always ruin this wonderful performance

Is it just me or the piano sounds quite sharp
😍😍😍🤩🤩

I've heard about this since long long ago.
Lang Lang ago 😉😂
Just incredible.

I keep thinking he even looks like Chopin 😂😂😂

have you ever heard of Sultanov’s perfomances of this piece? if not - so do it.

???: 쇼팽님 제 스승이 되어주십시요
쇼팽: 웬 불청객이지.. 연주를 보여주거라 너의 열정을 보겠다
???: (아련하고 슬프게 친다) ㅠㅠㅠ
쇼팽: 널 손봐주지
???: 이어서 우리가 아는 짐머만이 탄생???
7:10 's sound like Etude Op.10 No.12
Yeah that's what I thought
Θαυμα
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)!
It's Chopin, or Zimmerman?
He looks like the german "Seawolf" Harmstorff 😂
He hits the piano too much
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!
UA-cam-not DG.
😮 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 💀
