Chopin 1 with Sergio Tiempo and Myung-Whun Chung

[@jackatherton0111]

"Major labels have been astonishingly sluggish in snapping up Tiempo." The British critic Jeremy Nicholas wrote that -- in 2006! The pianist now in his fifties of course was never a secret tip for his musical godparents, Martha Argerich and Nelson Freire. Even more than Nelson and Martha or Magda Tagliaferro, Sergio Tiempo seems to have warm Latin blood in his veins, the almost hallucinogenic blood of Gabriel Garcia Marquez. This does not diminish Tiempo's identification with Chopin, Liszt, Rachmaninoff and Ravel. Rather, it adds a fresh, vibrant dimension, an immediacy that lifts performance to sincere, generous communication. I love this guy and think you will too. Let's hope the record companies look past the latest competition winners and see a real genius.

Even though I'm not particularly fond of nationalities, borders or anything that divides our world, I have to say that I'm proud that this Giant of the keyboard was born in the city and the country I was born in. If this is not the best rendition of this emblematic master piece by the most prominent composer of the romantic era, it definitely has to be among the greatest. Divine phrasing, deep understanding of the soul of the piece. deeply-felt, sincere and delicate touch., passionate, creative, virtuosic, impeccable. And with this marvelous french orchestra and this conductor you really resuscitate the sublime genius of this great composer (if it ever died) Bravo Maestro Tiempo, you make Latin America proud!!

I regret that in my comment I did not mention the wonderful orchestra, and maestro Myung-Whun Chung, their performance was the absolute necessity for this, to me, incredible experience.

[@mariarosariobuban9546]

Sublime! Bravo!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️

[@tvanya]

I consider myself lucky to hear this performance. An all time favored of mine, this is possibly the most sensitive and brilliant I ever heard. Mr. Tiempo is new to me, without the theatrics most beautiful playing.

[@funlearning7010]

Excellent. What a talent! This is certainly one of the best interpretations / renditions of this concert I have heard. This young musician really understands the spirit of this musical work. Musically and technically impeccable. Absolutely sublime! ... Bravo !!!

[@alfredofraschini1485]

Alfredo Fraschini. ¡Qué maravilla! Es una interpretación de Chopin para la historia. Sergio Tiempo honra como nunca la escuela de su abuelo, el gran Antonio de Raco. ¡¡¡ Bravo !!!

[@alwatsonpianist]

Exquisite interpretation with superb elegance, magical phrasing, excellent dynamic control, gorgeous tonal quality and nuance, divine expression and technical precision. Bravissimo!!!!!!

[@karinkligge1531]

Maestro Myung whun Chung y pianista Sergio Tiempo una dupla excepcional Maravillosa interpretación.

[@RobinLSL]

Brilliant. Better than any of the recent Chopin Competition performances...

I thought exactly the same...

@RobinLSL Dude , Seong jin cho’s concerto 1 at chopin competition was legendary. Even Zimmerman contacted him right after cho’s performance at final round .

[@dankg55]

2021 edition of the Chopin competition is over and your statement is still true.

[@leifseidelin4236]

Wonderful concert and brilliant work of the true master of the piano, I wish he would have composed even more concerts for piano and orchestra, but his life was very short, and I think its amazing what he achieved, and his musical legacy is enormous and will forever bring joy to people all over the globe, IMO, and Sergio do this beautilfull work of art great honour by his very intense and also very sensitiv piano playing, together with this very fine orchestra, thanks so much for sharing this beauty!...:-)

[@pianogus]

Magnificent! Epochal rendition by Sergio Tiempo. Thanks for posting

[@danielito1979]

This is pure art...

[@leonardososa5346]

Sergio es el pianista más sincero honesto y sencillo que ha habido en toda la historia. Ciertamente se le fue una nota pero eso no importa a él se le perdona todo. Es la creatura más hermosa y linda que existe.

[@lepingstepp7401]

The most beautiful and spiritual version🌹🌹🌹❤️！

[@paulluc5070]

¡Extraordinario! Tecnica y expresividad como los mas grandes entre los grandes!!!

superbe interpretation. bravo,a tous.

[@MrPrestoconfuocco]

Un soplo de aire fresco!!!!!

[@JJTownley_Classical-Composer]

Sergio ages well. When he's 70 he'll still look like a 30-year-old "kid".

[@dankg6837]

Waaaw wonderful performance !

[@classicalalways]

Wonderful performance and so lyrical. Not a straight ahead cookie cutter performance, but one that has wonderful dynamic range, sensitivity, and spontaneity. Here we see a much better musician than some of the overhyped young superstars - as this is much more than that flashy technique without substance.

[@deutekom2004]

This unusual performance once made me think that Chopin wrote the piano concerto in Latin America.

[@dannys-pianoconnections5169]

SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPER !!!!!!!!!

[@trancosomarcus]

Espetacular!

[@dennischiapello7243]

He manages some incredible speed; the final run of parallel seconds, for example, around 6:40. Generally, he achieves effects of diabolical menace, more than anyone else I've heard (including even Benjamin Grosvenor!)

[@misayoshi926]

男アルゲリッチ! 15.6歳の頃の来日公演を聴きに行ってから聞いてなかったけど、自由奔放さは健在だった。　 　私は好きなタイプだけど、今の日本では自由奔放過ぎて嫌う人のほうが多いかな。

Exactly! I thought @Alex Pashkov was -probably- watching in excess

[@sakurasasaki9542]

cool?

[@99Grigor]

Great playing. Question. Why have they started using those ugly Piano benches all over Europe lately?

[@Medtszkowski]

Because they are superior in quality

[@AlexPashkov]

In my opinion, his performance of this concerto is vain, hysterical and insufficiently clear...Now I understand the meaning of word "execution"...Don´t blame me, - it´s just an opinion...

Por favor Giuseppe...fue una interpretación magnífica...o acaso Ud. no la disfrutó ????

[@MrPrestoconfuocco]

Comentario snob e innecesario, hay muchos más pero probablemente usted ni los oye, y que en absoluto tienen nada que ver con la magnífica interpretación que nos ofrece este fantástico pianista

[@sungjinlee2835]

Way too aggressive and unrefined for me..

[@raffaeleschirone8655]

Way too senseless comment. This is a majestic rendition: clear, polite, brilliant and always into the thread of the narrative. Only some envious pianist could not appreciate his 2nd mov., which most of the times gets boring because of mediocre (and even acclaimed) pianists. Moreover, the Coda of the 1rst mov. is PERFECT.

[@sungjinlee2835]

@@raffaeleschirone8655 whatever;; I was just talkin about my taste. It is true that his performance is little bit more agressive than Krystian Zimerman’s or Seongjin Cho’s rendition. I’m not saying that Tiempo’s way is wrong. He surely is a great pianist, and I have no intention to blame him. But it’s just not my taste.

[@EmptyVee00000]

Jealous that you cannot play like that? Stop your unwanted jealousy and maliciousness.
