Chopin Impromptu No.2 op.36 Krystian Zimerman

[@hannastaszak1684]

Piękno muzyki Fryderyka Chopina to fenomen graniczący z cudem.

[@drtee51]

WOW! What a sensitive performance of a work by Chopin that deserves to be heard more than it is! The opening theme sounded exquisite, and the thirty-second notes near the end were like gossamer wings! Bravo!

You ask me, this young (now old) man is the finest classical pianist ever recorded

[@ericastier1646]

I never got that. I disagree. I find him very classical to a bore. I could name 10-20 pianists i like better. His rubato are = fail.

[@JLFAN2009]

Can you name them?@@ericastier1646

[@timlaze5836]

@@ericastier1646 what?? He is WITHOUT a doubt the best pianist ever recorded, better than Rachmaninov himself because he was old at the time. Who can you name better than him? Let me guess...Horowitz? Lang Lang? Arguerich? Lol. If you have a true understanding of romantic music you can only say he is the best. The only one who can possibly compare is Richter. Or maybe Pollini too. I don't think Rubinstein can.

[@ericastier1646]

​@@timlaze5836 You are disillusioned. He is not even in the top 20. Also do not make blackmail one leg stand statements like " if you have a true... then you must only say..". This is infantile and bogus. It seems you know all the worst pianists if you asked me who is worse, him, horrowitz, lang lang, they are all terrible pianists. Lol, also Rubinstein is an imposter pushed by his clique who owned the producing companies and venues. Pollini was a machine. Richter is an average pianist with questionable musicality. But yeah it is easy to name 20 better than these : Rachmaninov, Sofrinistizky, Koczalski, Cortot, Cziffra, Busoni, Tatianna Nikolayeva, Maria Joao Pires, Samson François, Yuja Wang, A.B Michelangeli, Lisitsa, Marcelle Meyer, Glenn Gould, Yundi Li, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Aldo Ciccolini, Alicia de Larrocha, W. Berezovsky, Jorg Demus.

[@EwaMaria5]

[@moniquemalaurie9713]

Merveilleux... Un vrai plaisir, merci!

This artist is, for me, an inspiration, in my thoughts about my own playing and to my students. It just doesn't get any better in terms of taste, technique, sound, tone, and - not least - grace. In every aspect of the repertoire he brings something extraordinary, and actually there are few pianists who embrace the breadth of the repertoire so masterfully - I think the only other person is Maurizio Pollini. Incredibly - since I have heard just about everybody else - I have never had the opportunity to hear Zimerman live in performance, and I look forward fervently to that privilege. I do, however, know a wonderful master technician in Hamburg called Paul Winistzki (forgive my spelling) who has worked with him and is a close friend. From this, I have begun - late in the day - to realise how important it is for pianists to understand more deeply about what instruments they are playing. I think many of us have very little idea, and it strikes me as slightly ridiculous; although perhaps it has something to do with not wanting to know; deliberately to retain some sort of mystique... After all, most us have to turn up and play on just about anything!

[@EmptyVee00000]

Ashkenazy embraced the breadth of the repertoire even more masterfully than even Pollini.

[@draytone670]

the whole video is a vibe

This piece is underrated.

[@Johannes_Brahms65]

This is really nice!

[@MarianoStatelloPiano]

Algo para leer de los impromptus📚 Etimológicamente, "impromptu" es sinónimo de improvisación. Aunque se haya permitido soñar en el piano los temas de sus impromptus, Chopin los elaboró luego tan bien, que las cuatro piezas unen el sabor del primer impulso con la perfección de una escritura trabajada. Su forma es simple responde al esquema A-B-A: es decir que un episodio central se ve rodeado de dos episodio simétricos y gemelos. Por lo tanto el interés de los impromptus no reside en la forma sino en la sustancia musical. Pero le corresponde al intérprete devolver a estas cuatro joyas su carácter espontáneo. Como lo dice muy bien Cortot: "En cierta forma tiene que parecer que la música nace bajo los dedos del ejecutante" De "Chopin"-Bernard Gavoty

Maravilhoso !!!!!

[@elegant110]

Sorry, I corrected.

[@cholapat]

Thanks for posting this amazing vdo... Somehow this is Chopin Impromptu no.2, op.36. It's not Schubert and the op. number is 36 not 38. Please correct

[@mateuszloniewski]

[@adriatorras8077]

6 ו5 בסוף לקולות הילדים שנבלעו בידי החייזרים בסוף. לא 6 ו7.

[@Mikex0123]

I hate this video, like the audio.

[@honoratamusica]

Me too.

[@adriatorras8077]

and the composition and interpretation?

[@anthonyc6017]

What a weird video😹

[@panteasamuel]

I dont know why i listen to zimerman when are plenty videos of rubinstein on youtube..Bye

[@MusikPiratCH]

Rubinstein and Zimerman are equally good! And both are best at Chopin! :D

[@mateuszloniewski]

Many if not msot of Zimerman’s interpretations are better than Rubinstein’s. Zimerman has much better technique and spends much more time perfecting each piece.

[@DanielMartinez-nw1pn]

Because Zimerman is better

[@Isa-tn7ex]

Rubinstein cult fans are the worst. Almost as bad as Bach cult fans.

[@FrostDirt]

@@Isa-tn7ex Gould fans is worse ;P

[@alessandropelizzoli6613]

Good interpretation but not so extraordinary....

[@steveegallo3384]

You are correct. Greetings from San Agustinillo!
