Anna Fedorova - Nocturne in B major, Op. 9 No. 3 (first stage, 2010)

[@danflexofficial]

This piece is criminally underrated.

Not for me, either. It depends of who you are, what you are looking for, and what this means to you. Sometimes its better not follow the "Madding Crowd".

Every one of Chopin's works is a gem.

[@PianoScenesMoviesandSeries]

So much is happening in the middle section. Anger, pain, fury, panic, sadness, desperation... it contains so much emotion.

[@GosokuRyuYodan]

The music contains no emotion. The pianist provides that with her interpretation.

Piękno muzyki Fryderyka Chopina to fenomen graniczący z cudem ❤️

[@markhedman1884]

I have listened to many performances on KZbin of this nocturne. Artur Rubinstein's performance is similar in mood to this one. But so many even great pianists miss capturing the right spirit. Some play it quickly, the chromatic notes emphasized, there is a metallic and punched sound to the notes, the ornamental runs sound like a circus performance. Anna Fedorova gets so many things right. Perhaps the piano and recording help as well. Her melodic tone is deep and pleasant as though singing. She gives some weight and length to the short sixteenth notes - others play them flippantly. She can lighten her touch also, so that passages have a velvety sheen, and have a swooning quality. If she is listening, it would be great if she would record more Chopin Nocturnes.

[@LukeSchneiderEWI]

You think EXACTLY like I do ! ( I hope she listens too ! ) 🎹😛👍

Pan Fryderyk Chopin jest dumą Polski! Cały naród jest z niego dumny! 🇵🇱

0:30 - My goodness, she's so connected to the piece that she even blinks in sync with the melody notes.

[@mji71]

A hauntingly mesmerizing performance that truly captures the poetic voices of this beloved Nocturne! Bravo!

[@duncanrichardson2167]

I agree, it recalls my previous favourite rendition, by Josef Lhévinne on a LP of a piano roll recording made I guess c. 1924 and also here on KZbin

[@luckystorage5956]

My favorite piece of Chopin ❤

[@stephenclark7932]

Beautiful, wonderful, magnificent -- BRAVISSIMA!!! Anna's exceptional musicianship deeply touches one's emotional core. Her astonishing introspection, insight, and understanding of Chopin's music are breathtaking! What an absolutely captivating artist she is!

[@markhedman1884]

I have been listening to the Preliminaries of the Chopin 2021 competition, and have heard and seen several pianists play this same nocturne, and I return to this performance. I recall being impressed with this performance when it was first played live. The pianist maintains composure and poise in the face. The back is straight, the fingers are curved, and there is a lack of physical tension in the playing. The melody is played with a singing legato tone, without hurry or rush. There is points of lingering in the phrasing, as well as moving toward the climactic peaks. The contrasting middle section is dramatic and yet played with restraint and control. The sound quality is excellent, and there are several camera angles. All the elements contribute to a moment of calm contemplation of a pleasure, and a relaxed state of being. A fine performance.

[@davidjoseph3403]

Cool comment. I keep coming back too. ❤

[@jpm3880]

I just fell in love with this joyfull yet nostalgic Nocturne. I cannot stop listening to it to try capturing and imagine what Chopin truly wanted to express trough this masterpiece. Just magical !☺

@@elias7748 oof

[@shodanart]

Okay…..this is best interpretation I’ve heard, including Ashkenazy. Why? The mid section played with the appropriate fury and menace, but NOT overly heavy handed or loud. She swept through that series of legato passages keeping the emotional flow so that one does not get anxious or agitated. I listen to Chopin while painting. When I get to Chopin’s Nocturne in B minor i find myself ripping my headphones off from angst, at the middle change that becomes disturbing. She confirms what I suspected, that you can play this true to Chopin’s shifting moods without being confrontational. That she can play this potentially bellicose passage without aggressive anger and still convey the menacing mood. ❤ This replaces Rubenstein, Ashkenazy and Harasiewicz on my morning playlist for this Nocturne.
