You can find it on the chopin institute site

С чего вы взяли, что это Вэн Клайберн? Это исполняет венгерский пианист Иштван Шекели( и далеко не из лучших!) Даже по исполнению слышно, что это не Вэн! Разве можно спутать его мощный звук и манеру исполнения с этим! 🙈

cogito ergosum he recorded the first?

Oui , UNIQUE !!! Deo gratias ...

Kees van Schalkwijk Yes, I totally agree with you!

Check out this version - it's a little faster at 14:15 instead of this one at 15:52 total time. You save more than a minute! Depends how long it takes you to fall asleep! ;-) kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJzVgHyMi6mpf9U

yes brilliant.

@@ekvcpa Thanks for your comments. Indeed, I like your version better, it's more spirited, I certainly will not fall asleep with your version! ;-)

@@caseyvanschalkwyk5924 I guess a lot of it is what you get used to. My dad used to play this one a lot (on cassette) when I was a kid, I never knew what piece it was, I just knew it was Chopin, we used to listen to it when our family drove in our Fiat from the Villa Libertador San Martin to Parana (in Argentina). I was 14 and was in love with Monica Bonetti, a sophisticated "older woman" of 16 years, so this piece also reminds me of her when I hear it. I was so sure at the time that I would someday marry her and devote my life to her. But alas, I lost her. Ehem. Back to Chopin...When I heard the Fantasia On Polish Airs here, and compared to the version that was in my head from childhood, I found it too slow. But in truth, I enjoy hearing Chopin pieces slow and fast. Today on my bike ride I heard one of the Etudes played so fast, it was brilliant, but it lost much of the melodic line as a result. It's a trade-off, speed vs. feeling. The slower it is played, the more space there is to inject deep feeling. But sometimes we don't want to feel too much, we just want to be transported uneventfully to musical paradise.

I'm 11,246 :)

I'm glad that you asked! You can read about the Irishman, Thomas Moore, here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Moore ... AND ... you can read about the very young (age about 16) Chopin's work that is based on the melody by Moore here: en.chopin.nifc.pl/chopin/composition/detail/id/11

ショパンとバン・ ライバーン良いです。クライバーンの硬さが好 *

日本の某女流ピアニストが著書で、「クライバーンはチヤホヤされすぎて成熟する機会を失った」的な事を言ったらしいですが、彼は十分、成熟していたと思う。少なくとも、その女流ピアニストよりは上手い。格段に上手い。

You must have a different version. I have this same CD collection and it is Idil Biret playing.

TheGreenMage Interesting. Thanks for clarifying.

That is precisely what makes this music so beautiful

No, for this purpose listen to Richter, Ashkenazy, Argerich, Lang Lang, and too many others... This pianist won the "Great Price Frederic Chopin" of Warsaw in her 15 CDs...
