I imagine this was recorded not long before Bolet died, at about the same time as I heard him give a wonderful performance of Liszt's Consolations in London. It has the same unaffected solemnity. There's a wonderful speaking quality to the playing; one can imagine that Chopin is confiding his thoughts and feelings to us. A moving performance of a piece too often reduced to showy rhetoric. Thanks so much for posting.
Sa retenue aristocratique l'empêche d'aller aux épanchements : Bolet est toujours et partout un "poète", il ouvre des espaces et c'est plus merveilleux encore que la vérité !
As a pianist, his hand is too big. And his wrist skill is not good. My wrist skill is better than him. Next 200 years, human being will know wrist skill is more important than finger skill. My music theory will effect the world 200 years.
Great version by the Cuban pianist Jorge Bolét. Everything is there : power, softness, delicacy and precision.
This is a perfect description of his interpretation.

It's beyond words.

One of the all time greats of classical piano
Really?
Yes!
What a fantastic touch...and sound!!!!
Thank you, Mr. Bolet, for the unforgettable memories!
Bolet's precision is breathtaking - but sometimes one feels that every single note is like a separate funeral.

A fine example of the training of the Curtis Institute they trained their graduates to be artists !!!
Favorite performance of the piece without a doubt, Petrov is close second though
Wonderfull. I like also how BoganYi plays this chopin masterwork, but Bolet is my favourite.
Beautiful!
Лучшее исполнение их того, что слышала. Большой поклон Мастеру.
So beautiful ❤
❤❤❤ che emozione
March 1987
HELP WHY DID I FEEL LIKE THIS CAME FROM SOUND SHOOTING BUT THIS IS THE OG
元首X 蕭邦
笑死，完全跟我想的一樣🤣
A Bolet no lo cambio por ninguno. 😃
72 years old at the time
Que bien que ha vivido tanto cuando lo conocí en la película. Una Llama 🔥 Majica ( tras bambalinas. ) Me fasino 🎈
Disculpa en un rato me conecto
nice moustache 🤣
Кто это?
冯百川 Хорхе Болет
Adolf Hitler
ОЧЕНЬ УБЕДИТЕЛЬНО. ТАКОЕ НЕСУЕТЛИВОЕ ПОВЕСТВОВАНИЕ. ТЕХНИЧЕСКИ БЕЗУПРЕЧНО. ПОЛУЧИЛОСЬ СКУЛЬПТУРНО.БЕЗ МАЛЕЙШЕЙ ФОРМАЛЬНОСТИ
我老师评论：
黄金时代钢琴家里弹琴看起来最笨拙的一位
跑动听起来似乎比实际的慢，是弹性速度高明
