Beautiful. If Chopin heard, he would be very proud and happy ❤❤❤❤

[@alexismandelias]

This is really a unique interpretation of Chopin's etudes. After listening to 10/1,4,12 and 25/11,12 I was completely blown away by your immense expression and extensive use of rubato. your voicing especially at 10/4 was astonishing and pleasantly surprising. Bravo and thank you for sharing this amazing interpretation with us

[@personalnotesmusic]

Incredibly beautiful. A piece of heaven! Wish there was a video of the playing...not just the audio.

[@michaelvavrinec9761]

What power, both elegant and majestic! I have never taken the opportunity to listen to Chopin's Etudes given as a whole, but have from time to time always enjoyed his Preludes for many, many years. Alessandro Deljavan's interpretations here are absolutely magnificent - bravo, sir, bravo!!!

[@Thebigballsmanful]

His sound is so fluid. The legato in the first etude is unlike anything I have ever heard.

[@kanacucumber]

When you're a non musician and a casual listener to classical music and you have no idea what anyone means about a musician's interpretations and the musical terminologies used. I'm just here for the color of the sound.

The sound you produce is impeccable. I love how all your etudes' interpretation.

[@ericrouach]

Thanks maestro! Your etudes are marvellous; that was like hearing them for the first time. I could almost imagine that Chopin was playing himself.

[@radovanlorkovic3562]

Nobody has ever made so much music in Chopins Etudes! Every note to fall in love with! He should reinterpret the three great Piano Concert by Brahms Nr.1, (protest agains Schumanns death), Schumanns: (passion instead of sentimentality) and Tschaikowsky, (pure and exuberant happiness), that nobody has understood up to our days inhibited by Academism! The most evident musicianship!

[@ΜιλτιάδηςΒιτσικουνάκης]

Excellent sound! Inner maturity! Masterly elaborated skills, reflecting high-degree-discipline, rigor and fragility of ascetic, by no means non-common, great artists!

[@rodolfo2529]

This is very special. Very creative! Deljavan brings out some lines, some melodies that are "hidden". I am a fan of him since the Cliburn (when he didn't make to the finals! LOL). He was the only pianist trying to make some real music, others were traying to win the prize..

[@magicourtney1280]

Rodolfo Thedy if he entered the competition only to ‘make music’ and not win the prize at all then that’s completely false

[@bengibson9396]

Isn't it a bit of Bach influence, the hidden melodies? Deljavan is a Bach player I think.

Alessandro Deljavan is truly an extraordinary pianist. He should be much more widely known.

We agree!

[@navidfarkhondehpay1142]

I loved this performance, especially 25 no 2. The lightness in the left hand is something I've never seen before, and it is such an amazing touch to the song. I also enjoyed 25 no 12 and Andantino in F minor

[@christiankircher369]

but why does all pianists play the wrong rythm in the right hand? Chopin did not write this . the accent should be on every third note. it changes all the character of the etude.

[@miltongajardo9800]

[@andygossard4293]

This is the best music ever created by anyone. And thanks for recapturing it.

[@christophervanburen8923]

I confess that I was planning to skip through this -- looking for how he interprets my favorite passages -- but I ended up listening to every minute of this. Sure, he's certainly unique and sometimes surprising, but I enjoyed it -- more in some places than in others, but I must say his 10/12 made me think "finally! someone got the left hand tempo right!" Also enjoyed 25/8 and 25/9.

in the description, etude op. 25 no. 12 in C Minor should be called "Ocean".

[@lucynaolejniczak8074]

Chopin himself never gave thematic titles to his instrumental works

[@MusicalMissCapri]

25.11 is also known as Winter Wind, but none of these subtitles were actually given to these pieces by Chopin, rather, by other people. Ditto for the preludes. "Raindrop" was not assigned as a title to Prdlude 15 by Chopin. I'm fine with however one calls these pieces, by their numbers, keys, or subtitles, but there are some people who are such purists that they throw fits over it, saying we shouldn't use the subtitles. Personally I think they actually help to learn the pieces. If you think of Etude 25.12 as an ocean, you're going to have an image in your head that you'll work to convey. Just a FYI. :)

[@hervegilles7941]

Avec cette intégrale, Deljavan, se situe aux niveau des plus grands. Malgré quelques fautes de texte parfois, ici, on es vraiment au sommet : Technique-Imagination-rigueur-Authenticité-Emotion-Humanité. La n.11 op.25 est extraordinaire de brio et de fluidité.

"Chopin's scherzi are like the tasty fat of a lamb chop. His polonaises and etudes are the meat itself. The sonatas and the ballads are the vegetables. The preludes are the salt and pepper. The waltzes and nocturnes are the gravy. The sonatas and concerti are the plates and cutlery." - Albert Einstein
