if i knew martha (one of my piano heroes) was watching me like that at 23:34 i'd be shidding bricks to think she won the exact same competition at the exact same venue almost exactly 50 years before this concert - amazing, surrounded by past winners too
@@zwykyziomek2570 He was the only one to choose concerto in F minor, so the orchestra needed to prepare themselves for two pieces instead of only one ;-) presumably
Ok, after listening to 2021 Comp, this version still stands as the top for me. The orchestra, Hamelin and the maestro performed this concerto with such rich depth, mystery and musical power. .
Wow. I love his playing. His performance is so harmonious with the orchestra and the resonances of the notes are just beautiful and natural. It is like flying in the air.
Chopin, compositeur fantastique! Un des plus beaux concertos parmi tous les concertos! Un pianiste extraordinaire, habile, émouvant, magnifique ... Bravo et merci infiniment Charles de nous emmener dans ton petit paradis! Et encore félicitations pour cette médaille d'argent!
Just my two cents: Although Hamelin did not win the grand prize, the fact that many people in the world argued that he should have won, is actually no small feat. On a personal note, Cho deserved the grand prize (considering the whole competition), but Hamelin's performance of this concerto was the best I've heard aside from Zimerman (my gold standard of all Chopin interpreters). His take was a little fast than usual, but for the better effect. Also, pulling it off with a Yamaha, and making it sound way richer than with a Steinway, is actually amazing. I will always be a fan of Cho and Hamelin. 😊
Depending on the recording studio, performance hall, recording budget, vendor and sponsors etc - there could be a Steinway of various length, Yamaha, Bosendorfer or Kawai or many others.
They could choose among four pianos (each from every brand which provided such for the competition). If you want to learn more about choises of the participants, see pl.chopincompetition2015.com/news/9d8f4a2b-2942-4d8a-bc6a-c438fec17d82
I think Charles Richard Hamelin must have been the winner. His interpretation of the second movement is perfect, beautiful, he reminds me a lot of Zimerman, they are great interpreters of Chopin.
Właśnie wysłuchałem konceru Chopina we wspaniałym wykonaniu. I przestałem się bać w tych ciężkich czasach. Serdeczne pozdrowienia z Nowego Jorku dla wszystkich fanów konkursu i Chopina.
Much, much under appreciated Chopin’s concerto. I wish finalists at this ultra prestigious piano competition chose this concerto more often. I like this particular interpretation .
Moj ukochany ulubiony koncert 🥰zawsze się wzruszam do łez niestety👍❤❤❤piękny,gratuluję i zyczę Panu dalszych sukcesow ,miałam szczęscie byc na Pana recitalu w Toruniu Pozdrawiam serdecznie😊⚘🥰👍😊
Charles is my fav in the competition. His tone and poetic feel are most Chopin. It is natural and it sings. Bravo Charles. Please come to Calgary again.
The Yamaha was a good choice. It had a sharper sound which brought out the melody. Now I question the clanking loud notes at the start, but overall it was a wonderful performance .
Dziękuję, prawdziwa uczta duchowa, najwspanialszy relaks, wspaniali artyści. Życzę im samych sukcesów w dalszej drodze artystycznej. Dużo wytrwałości i szczęścia - oczywiście przy niezakłóconym zdrowiu.
I Find myself listening to this performance over and over, he has true magic here, possessed of a powerful emotion brought forth through music, even in competition. This young artist is in the same arena on this piece as one of my favorite all time pianists K Zimmerman, and I think particularly in the first movement there are examples of a unique style and grace that I find beautifully his own daring and sophisticated, well done
완전히 사랑에 푹 빠졌을 때 혹은 어느 대상에 진정으로 몰입하였을 때 아마도 그의 눈은 거의 감긴 상태로 오직 그 대상을 향해서만 열린 마음이며 혹은 그 대상 이외는 모든 상을 지워버린 채 오롯이 그와 하나되는 일체감 속에서 더 이상 어떻게 해 볼 수 없는 더듬거리는 몸짓으로 음악을 연주하고 혹은 시를 쓰면서 노래를 부르고 미쳐서 춤을 추는 그런 경지 엑스타시 아니면 황홀감 연주자와 음악이 하나가 되고 연주자는 지휘자와 동떨어져서 나가지만 결국 하나되는 어울어짐 속에서 피아노가 오케스트라를 올라타고 앞으로 끄집어 나가는 저력은 결코 기교가 아니었다 저 깊은 악기통 속 가장 아래쪽에서 끄집어 올리는 깊은 심연의 샘물 같은 소리는 묵직하면서도 뚝뚝 떨어지면서 묻어나는 물방울 소리 같은 결코 끈적이지 않고 맑고 경쾌하면서도 슬픈듯한 아다지오 아마도 쇼팽은 이렇게 사랑을 느꼈을 것이며 그 감정을 이렇게밖에 표현할 수 없었을지니
2015년 유일한 쇼피협 2번.. 이 곡을 너무너무 사랑하는 나에게 선물같은 연주였다 🥰 THE ONLY Chopin Concerto No.2 in 2015 Charles Richard-Hamelin's performance, it was like a gift for me 😍
The E minor one is more refined and more difficult. Just because of its difficulty one would have a better chance at winning with the E minor. The only problem with it is that because Chopin wrote it after the F minor one (the numbers are swapped because of publication), he wanted something more refined, which he got at the cost of his more youthful expressions, so the E minor takes less interpretation than the F minor does. Also, the orchestra for the F minor absolutely sucks. I played it a couple times and I can't tell you how annoying it is especially in the second movement. It's just a tremelo for like 5 whole minutes. The melodies may be great but the harmonic balance is just bad and the execution was just bad as well. Chopin did way better at his orchestration in the E minor, despite it sounding very dry compared to the F minor. It was purposefully made simple to fit with the sound of the piano. Also, in the opinions of many professional pianists, the E minor is also much more virtuosic without sounding so. That's actually one of the big reasons why no one plays it except in the Chopin Competition. It sounds easy while being super hard so it's not worth the effort if the audience can't be wowed.
Interesting. I've been listening to both for about a year, and place the piano score for the F minor up there with my top Chopin works to be honest. But about the orchestration... you are completely right. After listening to a lot of great Concertos such as Tchaikovsky's piano and violin, and Rachmaninoff, the orchestra in this Concerto barely does anything. But since it is Chopin, I am completely fine with it, and accept that he wrote the orchestra as more of an accompaniment, rather than making it one half of a whole. The piano score in the first movement is just so captivating (12:08 being one of my favorite parts). Not to mention how indescribably beautiful the Larghetto is. If you haven't already, Krystian Zimerman's recordings of both Concertos are two of my favorite music recordings of all time; he put so much love into them and drew out their full potential. No one has to compare these two concertos with Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, or Rachmaninoff. I see it as more of him being himself. Since he didn't care for orchestrating, and was obsessed with the piano. They also make me think of his letters and how he describes his love for Poland and the countryside, as well as just his youthfulness. While Tchaikovsky 1, and Rach 2 may be large scale quality concertos with very good orchestration and good piano scores, Chopin stands apart from them. The F minor will forever remain one of the deepest concertos I know.
apparently, no-one's ever one with the F min and it has become something of a superstition among participants that in order to win you need to play the E min
@@sabinhong0307 If you look at the results/turnout of the 1st Chopin Piano Competition _on Period Instruments_ , you will find that _almost all of the finalists_ performed the F minor concerto, _and_ the top three (I believe there was a tie for the 2nd prize) performed this concerto. There's a chance that this performance by Charles Richard-Hamelin is what brought this concerto back to the competition stage. Ah, and I watched and heard him play in Toronto in 2019 from the third row of the Koerner Hall orchestra level near the middle (quite something to be a mere 10 or so meters from the person who taught you to love the B Minor Sonata), and as far as I can remember, his fourth ballade was _fantastic_ .
The very first time I heard this was while flying in an aircraft at a high altitude. I still associate this incredible composition with the ability to fly.
I like this pianist. He seems to me an old sage soul. Such a nice quality in a young man. Very convincing grasp of this most poetic of piano concertos. Though the introduction was kind of slow for my taste I intuitively felt this musician had a unique concept and was not disappointed but began to get that “body aura”. I smiled as he smiled at the close of the first movement when the audience offered a quite notable punctuation. I never tire of this concerto for an eighteen year old soul who ventured into a realm of sonic adventure to produce one of the most famous utterances put to musical score. That Yamaha compares expressly to the traditional Steinway. I love its tone and how this gifted pianist evidently knew what best suited him. Brava! PWG
Agreed. He rushes a few passages and his trills are a little heavy at points. But overall, a really REALLY good interpretation. There are moments here that are truly sublime and his own.
I mean this as a complete *compliment* to Mr Richard-Hamelin - his smiling demeanor reminds me of the depictions I've seen of JN Hummel at the piano, which seems nicely apt for this period and in consideration of Hummel's direct influence on Chopin...and it's also a nice contrast to the uber-serious mini-me Liszts, Paganinis and Berliozes running around the concert scene these days. (not taking away from anyone's artistry in my observation, btw; they're all 'poets', after all, so their personal self-expression is their thing - it's just a pleasure to see a contrasting emotional bearing in this music)
Как же Он мне нравится! Есть исполнители, которых приятно послушать, и даже повосхищаться; есть такие, которые поражают воображение своей виртуозностью... Но... Отзвучало и забылось... Очень светлый, добрый.... такое впечатление, что он ласкает Музыку, а она ему в ответ мурлычет... Мне кажется, Шопеновская музыка Вот Так и Должна Звучать. Замечательно!

what a beautiful sound, amazing technique with nice approach to Chopin's Music! He is the Best of International Chopin Piano Competition 2015, absolutely!!! Seine Musik ist nicht nur schön, sondern auch sehr elegant. Die Chopin-Musik brauchen Eleganz und auch Intelligenz, meiner Meinung nach. Herr Hamelin hat ja alles, unglaublich schön! Da ich würde ihn herzlich gratulieren!
Fabuleux pianiste.... parfait contrôle, belle sensibilité, technique impeccable.... Chopin serait jaloux de son piano et de tout ce que lui rapporte ses magnifiques compositions ! Félicitations Charles!
Toutes mes félicitations Charles! Quelle belle performance à la hauteur de ton talent! Nous sommes très fière de toi ici au Québec! Mlles feux brillent déjà pour toi
Son interprétation était vraiment très bonne, mais celle de Seong Jin Cho du 1er concerto était à mon sens encore meilleur. Je pense en plus que le choix d'un Steinway aurait été meilleur pour cette pièce ...
Es la mejor interpretación del largueto que he escuchado, sensible y el tempo correcto, efectista en alguna ocasión pero sin llegar a sonar artificial. Muy brillante este pianista.
My second perusal of this swift interpretation. I smiled as much as when first hearing it. While listening I thought how Chopin’s orchestration has been criticized. Well, judging from the greater to the lesser(not to mention the magnitude of this composer’s genius) it strikes me as a little trifling. I am certainly no musicologist but I can’t imagine what Chopin wrote being improved upon. In that beauty is it’s own excuse for being; Chopin’s concept, execution, and development of his themes and melodies; also this concerto remaining at the pinnacle of the repertory relegates all criticism to improper participle. I fell in love with this concerto when first hearing it 47 years ago and that love has abounded many times over the passing decades. “Music expresses wordless odyssey’s.” PWG

Just my two cents:
Although Hamelin did not win the grand prize, the fact that many people in the world argued that he should have won, is actually no small feat. On a personal note, Cho deserved the grand prize (considering the whole competition), but Hamelin's performance of this concerto was the best I've heard aside from Zimerman (my gold standard of all Chopin interpreters). His take was a little fast than usual, but for the better effect. Also, pulling it off with a Yamaha, and making it sound way richer than with a Steinway, is actually amazing. I will always be a fan of Cho and Hamelin. 😊
I feel sorry for that poor Yamaha! No doubt Hamelin gives a taut and muscular performance. Musically quite compelling.
do they choose the piano they perform on? i thought that kate liu and sung-jin cho played on steinways
Depending on the recording studio, performance hall, recording budget, vendor and sponsors etc - there could be a Steinway of various length, Yamaha, Bosendorfer or Kawai or many others.

완전히 사랑에
푹 빠졌을 때
혹은 어느 대상에
진정으로 몰입하였을 때
아마도 그의 눈은 거의 감긴 상태로
오직 그 대상을 향해서만 열린 마음이며
혹은 그 대상 이외는
모든 상을 지워버린 채
오롯이 그와 하나되는
일체감 속에서
더 이상 어떻게 해 볼 수 없는
더듬거리는 몸짓으로
음악을 연주하고
혹은 시를 쓰면서
노래를 부르고
미쳐서 춤을 추는 그런 경지
엑스타시 아니면 황홀감
연주자와 음악이 하나가 되고
연주자는 지휘자와 동떨어져서 나가지만
결국 하나되는 어울어짐 속에서
피아노가 오케스트라를 올라타고
앞으로 끄집어 나가는 저력은
결코 기교가 아니었다
저 깊은 악기통 속 가장
아래쪽에서 끄집어 올리는
깊은 심연의 샘물 같은 소리는
묵직하면서도
뚝뚝 떨어지면서 묻어나는
물방울 소리 같은
결코 끈적이지 않고
맑고 경쾌하면서도
슬픈듯한 아다지오
아마도 쇼팽은 이렇게 사랑을
느꼈을 것이며 그 감정을
이렇게밖에 표현할 수
없었을지니
소리가 넘깨끗하고 아름답다
조성진도 잘했지만 이피아니스트도 참잘하네요

This is my favourite concerto I've seen people playing piano concerto no 1 but this is actually rare in a competition thankyou charles
Congratulations! Best wishes from Montreal!
This guy is very composed at the pianol. Of all the contestants, he appears the most relaxed to me.
It is all in the family!, his Dad is a very accomplished pianist!!
15:45 larghetto ,piękne,cudowne. Geniusz
Hamlin took it faster than normal but it was quite artistic.
+Francis Fawkes It seemed to me that Hamelin plays fast, and this makes it very impressive sometimes (third sonata for example).
I mean this as a complete *compliment* to Mr Richard-Hamelin - his smiling demeanor reminds me of the depictions I've seen of JN Hummel at the piano, which seems nicely apt for this period and in consideration of Hummel's direct influence on Chopin...and it's also a nice contrast to the uber-serious mini-me Liszts, Paganinis and Berliozes running around the concert scene these days. (not taking away from anyone's artistry in my observation, btw; they're all 'poets', after all, so their personal self-expression is their thing - it's just a pleasure to see a contrasting emotional bearing in this music)
Как же Он мне нравится! Есть исполнители, которых приятно послушать, и даже повосхищаться; есть такие, которые поражают воображение своей виртуозностью... Но... Отзвучало и забылось... Очень светлый, добрый.... такое впечатление, что он ласкает Музыку, а она ему в ответ мурлычет... Мне кажется, Шопеновская музыка Вот Так и Должна Звучать. Замечательно!
Pamiętam. Dziękuję wspaniały koncert.
Best warmly wishes to all of final stage Chopin piano competitor 2015
Zaniemowilam. Jak On TO gra...Jak On gra Szopena. ..Dziękuję.
Fantastico pianista , interprete magistral...con alma poetica. Desde Chile felicitaciones Sr. Hamelin.

what a beautiful sound, amazing technique with nice approach to Chopin's Music! He is the Best of International Chopin Piano Competition 2015, absolutely!!!
Seine Musik ist nicht nur schön, sondern auch sehr elegant. Die Chopin-Musik brauchen Eleganz und auch Intelligenz, meiner Meinung nach. Herr Hamelin hat ja alles, unglaublich schön! Da ich würde ihn herzlich gratulieren!
oglądane w tv sprawia wrażenie solidnie i ,z maestrią wykonanej pracy, po prostu brawo!
This video deserves more views!!!
i think it would not be the weird thing that this piece got the best concerto prize!
2번 매력 최근에야 알았는데
아믈랭 대단하시네요
Vraiment très beau et impressionnant. Clarté, finesse. émotions toutes au rendez-vous.
Watching again but he is the best pianist playing this concerto exceptionally beautiful way !!!!!!!!!!!
The difference in sound recording quality between 2021 and 2015 is huge
Fabuleux pianiste.... parfait contrôle, belle sensibilité, technique impeccable.... Chopin serait jaloux de son piano et de tout ce que lui rapporte ses magnifiques compositions ! Félicitations Charles!
Wow, so beautiful and expressive, I wish I can play Chopin like him
32:05-32:14 my favorite and impressing part
Very very good performance...Congratulations!
BRAVISSIMO!!! Hurray for Canada!
His cd just arrived from Poland! I am glad I ordered it. Can't wait cho's cd too!
These two are my favorites! others just so so played.
진짜 너무 아름답다..
I replayed this 999,999,999 times
Ur so serious ㅎㅎ
Toutes mes félicitations Charles! Quelle belle performance à la hauteur de ton talent! Nous sommes très fière de toi ici au Québec! Mlles feux brillent déjà pour toi
+Chantal Dionne c’était le meilleur, vraiment .. lui accorder le 2ème prix était injuste à mon sens.
Je vous crois...
Son interprétation était vraiment très bonne, mais celle de Seong Jin Cho du 1er concerto était à mon sens encore meilleur. Je pense en plus que le choix d'un Steinway aurait été meilleur pour cette pièce ...
Toutes mes félicitations en provenance du Québec. C'était beau !
Nice to know Mahler's still got it after all these years
Es la mejor interpretación del largueto que he escuchado, sensible y el tempo correcto, efectista en alguna ocasión pero sin llegar a sonar artificial. Muy brillante este pianista.
I have goosebumps on goosebumps. Fantastic + the pressure of competition. Phenomenal !!
2番の方が好き！
アムランさんの演奏とても良かったです。低音の響きが美しかった！
Such a beautiful and fantastic performance!
My second perusal of this swift interpretation. I smiled as much as when first hearing it. While listening I thought how Chopin’s orchestration has been criticized. Well, judging from the greater to the lesser(not to mention the magnitude of this composer’s genius) it strikes me as a little trifling. I am certainly no musicologist but I can’t imagine what Chopin wrote being improved upon. In that beauty is it’s own excuse for being; Chopin’s concept, execution, and development of his themes and melodies; also this concerto remaining at the pinnacle of the repertory relegates all criticism to improper participle. I fell in love with this concerto when first hearing it 47 years ago and that love has abounded many times over the passing decades. “Music expresses wordless odyssey’s.” PWG
Paul Green Chopin's F minor is defo an underrated piece.
7:00 is definitely my favorite part
I completely agree with you
