I feel like the most controversial interpretations are the most beloved by the people who enjoy them. I think this is the most beautiful performance I've ever heard.
Brave. He gave his interpretation, that sounds actually fairly convincing. He started slightly faster than the pianist you usually hear and then he kept the precise "double tempo" on the last section. As a result, he's not only brave and respectful, but also found a way to send shivers down your spine. Chopin is not only and always a "talent de chambre de malade", but he can be strong, resolute, angry, desperate. This interpretation had all that.
"Brave?" That's your word of choice. It's dumb. His version is the closest that I like, among many others I don't like! His version was "spectacular!" Coherently spectacular that doesn't wait in the beginning to hit it off, from a piece of Chopin that demands perfect undulations both in volume and execution. His performance is going in my playlist.
The beginning sounds so nostalgic, maybe of some precious moments of our life ..and the final part is so soul-wrenching, saturated with huge desperation of a man struggling to survive in spite of shattered illusions and never- come -true dreams....
The moments of hope comes que Chopin changes the tonality from dark c minor to C Major, the brightest tonality, just after furious chords returning to the nostalgic c minor in the doppio movement
Гениальное исполнение! Можно подумать, что это немного истерично, но именно так я и вижу эту музыку... Шопен - поэт боли, и в этом исполнении я чувствую эту боль и отчаяние... перед финальной кульминацией он ярко выделяет басы, которые звучат, как роковой колокол судьбы...он понял всю суть этой музыки... браво!
this man almost made me drop tears in the ending. I think that agitato is the best way to end this incredible nocturne, it's as if Chopin was trying to combine all of his sadness and anger together, simply marvellous.
This guy delivers the best interpretations of Chopin's music! I am Polish and only when he plays I can feel the polish soul speaking as Chopin would do it! 100% perfection!!! Jan you are a reborn Chopin! It is scary!
One of the most involved of all performances of this Nocturne.... the pianist has created a whole world within itself, and it is utterly convincing. Other performances go for breadth and grandeur... this is focused and compact (and extremely well delivered). Personal, not impersonal. Go for it.
I really can't understand that some people describe this interpretation as horrible etc. I personally find it very refreshing, extremly touching and full of tense. He presents the piece in a way I never heard before and brings out many shades which are not obvious in other interpretations. Great work!
Listen to how Martha Argerich plays it, then compare :) ua-cam.com/video/vJzvsc5akGE/v-deo.html&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR2sLghU8JVVsvliCFsU8V5tMr1B538-0aopIgicbbl0qh0s4KkAgrfAVwQ
I listened to Martha Argerich’s version. It was beautiful. I am, however, still drawn more to Jan’s version, which to me has more intense passion and feeling.
@@stum8081 personally i feel the point of the 3rd section was kinda misunderstood in the interpretation, dont get me wrong its not bad its just i dont think its too good
Ruslan Ismayil-Zada I'm not a pianist however, almost before the conclusion ppl are online deciding on "interpretation" - good, bad, new, old, traditional, ..... let the echo die before you avail us of your opinion please!
@Ruslan Ismayil-Zada You are right Martha Argerich and Mister Lisiecki don't play in the same league. But keep in mind that he is a young artist and in my opinion a promising one. He is able to touch people with his music, his music is expressive and he is able to put his ideas into his interpretation. He definitely has something to say. I think different interpretations keep classical music alive. And for me this is still NOT the worst 48/1 on youtube. I love it 🖒
For the people complaining that the doppio section is too fast, he plays it slower on his album of Nocturnes (the whole album is fantastic). This was a live performance, and it can be hard to get the tempo right with performance jitters. This piece starts off with lento quarter notes then that last section goes to doppio triplets. So if you start a little fast (which he did), the ending feels much faster than it should. Either way I love the feel of the music and the choices he made. Fantastyczny!
Common Tater 1 second ago I'm sure Jan Lisiecki is drowning in remorse for all the UA-cam listeners who couldn't stand hearing the piece played differently than they're used to. The opening of the doppio section sounds impetuous: it is fast, but not uncontrollably so. He plays the 'agitato' to the hilt: kudos! He is true to the moment, true to the music. If you want your music played the same all the time, go find yourself some nice muzak.
I've listen to like a thousand interpretations of this piece. I don't " understand" and connect with any other Chopin nocturne as much as this one. And I simply adore the intensity of this interpretation. I will listen a hundred times to it
Magnifique artiste, splendide pianiste, Bravo Jan Lisiecki ! On croit découvrir Chopin que par pur plaisir l’on vient d’oublier pour l’entendre à nouveau sous l’impulsion fervente de ce jeune, ce merveilleux jeune ! La luminosité de ses contrechamps et dans la sensualité de ses « presque » rubato ! C’est un alliage d’intelligence et sensualité et sa tenue corporel discrète… comme un artiste qui vient nous donner… nous offrir Chopin… Merci et longue vie Jan Lisiecki !
all the people can play this by looking at the sheets but “he” plays it with such a passionate way and this makes me feel something, this is what makes it played by him. This is art. Piano doesn’t play itself or Chopin doesn’t play it, “he” plays it.
His adaptation of the song through the using of different tempo is an intelligent decision. Thiis piece was composed in early 1800, and it's an expresion of melancolic romanticism. The feeling of despair, hurt and hope in different moments make this piece a timeless song, but culture change whit the pass of time and that produce a different view from people nowadays. But using a fast tempo and great force in the last part to make it sound like if it was a song from an epic movie is a thing which makes present spectators feel an emotion nearby those they experience an scene of a Cristhoper Nolan film, for example.
Lisiecky's interpretations are tenderness to my ears, Joy to my heart and never-before-known interpretive capacity to my brain. Thank you very much for this moment of happiness.
Brave, innovative, to the extent that some may criticize it, but very, very artistic. Not very solipsistic (closed unto itself) first part, wide major part, exploding bomb octaves leading to that climax with the trill where everything explodes in glory. A very fast third (double speed) part where after the exposive bright climax this is the only dramatically possible alternative - everything is said and done. Brilliant closing passage which is so alone and hanging in nothing. Very very artistic.
this is my favorite interpretation of this piece, ever. it might not be competition winning, but i'll be damned if i don't listen to this recording ten times more than others. it's unique, has passion, and is convincing. well done
I found his interpretation interesting. And I liked it, even in the loud octaves and the fast Doppio Movemento. Being familiar with every note, I found that the speed didn't take clarity away but made it more dramatic. Different, but as good as any other first class interpretation.
This guy delivers the best interpretations of Chopin's music! I am Polish and only when he plays I can feel the polish soul speaking as Chopin would do it! 100% perfection!!! Jan you are a reborn Chopin! It is scary!
Oh my God first time I really listen to this amazing Nocturne ! quelle subtilité puis quelle immense intensité et désespérance = he has blown me out and live gift to the world = thank you Maestro !
Sir Lisiecki, dear Jan, your interpretation of Chopin's Nocturne Op. 48 No 1 in C Minor is astonishing and most moving. Great capability and remarkable maturity. Amazingly percussive for a new born star and so young a pianist. You make Canadians very proud and thankful. Your major success, so far, brings you right up among the brightest of artists in the world. I most sincerely wish you the best and pray God to bless, protect and keep you in His caring love for ever.
to the people who say it's horrible the ending ... it's nail on the head ... it says AGITATO in the score ... why else would Chopin has written that technical middle part ??? ... well done Lisiecki !!!!!! as preparation to that agitato part ... the third part is NOT just the same melody as the beginning ..; it's a total different color .. I totally agree with Lisiecki
He also plays faster than the original tempo that chopin had anticipated, but we see that with many pianists including Seong Jin Cho, the 2015 chopin competition winner. Still a good performance, but in my biased perspective, I found it quite questionable for last section being played nearly all in FF and not enough pianos or even pp's.
@@Aaron-dt3sy agreed. I didn’t find it to be awful, he clearly put a lot of emotion into the piece but I do feel he missed out on a lot of variating dynamics in the coda by playing the entirety of it too fast so the beautiful melody that you normally hear wasn’t voiced very well and especially at the very end he didn’t slow the tempo down whatsoever which I found to be odd.
Magnificent. This is (for me) a piece all about volcanic emotion rumbling under, and eventually breaking through, controlled calm. I think he captures that perfectly. Is it robotically clean? Nope, but music isn't played by robots. I think Chopin would approve. I look forward to seeing how he develops and refines this.
This is an interesting interpretation, from 4:30 onwards it started sounding less like a Chopin Nocturne, and more like a Scriabin Etude with all the accented base notes.
Music is an art to be interpreted in many ways .No interpretation is wrong. It does bring joy to many that hear and see Jan give his wonderful interpretation of the music in his performances. Keep it up Jan! Thankyou🎵👍
C'est une date importante dans l'Histoire des Interprétations : Jan L. revient à l'authenticité d'époque , et précisément celle... du compositeur ! Ce n'est pas celle que je préfère : mais elle est touchante, sincère, belle et ici, tranche clairement sur une longue multiplication d'interprétations se ressemblant les unes les autres. Merci !
What can we barely say?!!! This is simply astonishing, ohhh MY GODNEDS!!! Words!! Noo I truly think that’s my favorite interpretation from far on everyone I saw, this is truly incredible!!! This guy has a so particular sensibility, so precious, so gentle, and as a matter of fact, he’s truly GIFTED BY THE GOS!!!! Love himm, follow this way Mr.!!!! Love you❤️❤️
Has anyone heard this wonderful interpretation of Chopin with headphones ?, is a wonder, and as always, a guy with a cough in the audience, hahaha. Greetings from Mexico
Sensacional...!!!! La parte de los 4 minutos en adelante hay q tocarla agitato y apasionadamente fuerte, es la versión q me gusta... Hay otra versión que la ejecutan suave... Lisiecki lo hace correctamente, felicitaciones...!!!!
There is another recording on YT of Jan playing this on the DG label, but IMHO this is the better performance. The raw emotion is outstanding and keeps me coming back to listen to this mesmerising performance over and over. Thank you so much for posting 😊
I was playing this earlier today. The 'chorale' passages are actually more difficult from a point of accuracy than the agitato section, while combining that complex rhythm while maintain the wistful theme.
So true about the 'chorale' moment, and that's such a perfect word to describe it. This is a great piece to study for all of its technical and interpretive challenges. I'm usually crying by the end and don't play this for others.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE his interpretation! As a matter of fact, I love how he interprets all the Chopin he plays. Brilliant!! All those who have nothing better to do than criticize need to get a life. Neanderthals.
A stunning and moving performance! I see many people criticise how the doppio section is played and while it is a little fast for me and i feel the melody couldn’t sing as well, with the passion and energy coming from your rendition, I almost can’t complain. Definitely an interesting take on this nocturne.
I love Seong-Jin Cho's performance of this nocturne. It's elegant, technically dazzling, just beautiful. What Mr. Lisiecki has given us here isn't as elegant, but it's dazzling in its own way. I especially like that the melody in the doppio movimento section isn't just a reprise of the beginning with the same gentle feeling but a different accompaniment. Unlike Cho's performance, it's angry. It's not _agitato_ in the restrained and elegant way Cho's is; it's a storm. Some people hate this interpretation. That's fine. I hate French cinema, my wife loves it. I've seen some brilliant French movies with her; I just didn't like them. I love this performance and Cho's. They're both great music-making.
I think he deliberately ignored some notes to play it faster. I remembered that there are 4 notes each chord. But you can see that his 2th and 3rd fingers didn‘t touch the key board .
Most people are talking about that last more complex section and how it's too fast, I actually really liked it. It reminded me of Scriabin for some reason. Well I should say Scriabin reminded me of it haha. I felt though the first section was a bit too fast, yes the first section of the entire piece. I think a mix of Ashkenazy's first parts and Jan's last section would be my ideal interpretation.
Really nice to see that woman violinist in the back ground closing her eyes and enjoying listening to chopin' s piece.
My first thought 🤗

Nope. Insufficient projection of the melodic lines, too rushed when melody is in sixteenths, missed the culmination at the end.
Wow! This interpretation brings in a whole new dimension.... Magnificent rendition and It does make sense in a whole new way

In order to convey the emotions, I think you have to play the third part of this piece like a coda in one of the ballade that Chopin wrote.

I think he deliberately ignored some notes to play it faster. I remembered that there are 4 notes each chord. But you can see that his 2th and 3rd fingers didn‘t touch the key board .
sorry，the 3rd and 4th fingers
I saw Jan at the Folly Theatre in Kansas City, he is amazing.
cool
Simplemente MARAVILLOSO
Love love love the Chopin Nocturnes...and Jan too..and Jan playing Chopin Nocturnes too 😂😂
he's so cute. i just have to say that.
YED
在大概4:20后看到贝多芬的影子 少了萧邦的凄美 反而是有一点点贝多芬不屈的壮烈感 非常感谢演奏者带给我们全新的诠释
Flawless performance!
Ah.. this version always makes me feel like crying..
I first heard this played in a hotel lobby piano in Warsaw in 1959 by another guest ! Before this guy was born !!!Sending him a piwo my email !!!
What an amazing interpretation of this Nocturne!
so interesting and beautifull nocturne . !!!
If Jan can't carry great piano music forward who can??
Most people are talking about that last more complex section and how it's too fast, I actually really liked it. It reminded me of Scriabin for some reason. Well I should say Scriabin reminded me of it haha. I felt though the first section was a bit too fast, yes the first section of the entire piece. I think a mix of Ashkenazy's first parts and Jan's last section would be my ideal interpretation.
His interpretation is quite special actually. It displays charisteristics and temperament towards the end.
