Dziękujmy Panu Bogu za takich ludzi jak ten Wielki Polak i Patriota, Ignacy Jan Paderewski! W czasie studiów na AGH w Krakowie wielokrotnie przechodziłem obok tzw. Collegium Paderevianum, które ten zacny człowiek, wielki Polak i filantrop ufundował dla następnych pokoleń! Cześć i chwała na wieki!

[@Papasmurf7597]

During 1910, Paderewski was touring in the NE New Jersey area. Where there was a large Polish and American/Polish group of people. I am the grand son and great grand son of a few of those people. Proudly, I can say that my grand parents, Anna Syska and Brunyslaw Franek Rajkiewicz, two years before they were married, sang accompaniment to Ignaci Pederewski during one of these concerts. My grandmother sang metzo soprano and my grandfather sang tenor. The event was held in the Paterson, NJ armory. Many years ago, I held the concert program from that event in my hands. My grand parents were American/Poles. Born in Paterson, NJ in the 1880s. I grew up with my grand parents, who were elderly when I was a kid, so I never heard them singing at their prime. Respectfully, Bruce F. Raykiewicz.... Dziekuje

I'm Portuguese, living in Lisbon. However, listening to Paderewski we all become Polish. Truly he represents the Soul of the Polish Nation. Just two years later, Germany and Russia invaded Poland. The Nazis and the Social-Fascists, Hitler and Stalin signed the Peace Treaty. And both Armies met and fraternized at a previously agreed line in the center of Poland. Interesting, most people ignore that Poland was invaded by both Dictators. Chopin's Music refletcs Poland's History, Culture and Polish Patriotism -- Namely, his fabulous POLAINAISE. A Cry against the Invasion of Poland -- unfortunately, invaded so many times. Warm Regards, A.

This is the first version I ever heard of this piece. When I was 6 years old this version was on the soundtrack of one of those old "Chessmaster 2000" games. It's likely what got me into playing piano in the first place. This rendition is better than anyone else's, even Martha Agerich's.

This is really wonderful. Paderewski sometimes gets a bad reputation these days, but this performance has a genuine humanity and a remarkable rhythmic backbone. The steadiness of it is very orchestral, and you rarely hear that kind of approach to this piece. Although they are almost never compared, he really reminds me of Kempff, with the combination of rhythmic steadiness and textual freedom.

I was the successful bidder and had it transferred onto DVD so it is the crispiest clear copy available in this day and age! Not great clarity or sound, but! It is an amazing piece of history and better quality than IJP’s home movies! Great Statesman and Pianist! BTW, this one and only Paderewski movie was filmed at Denham Film Studios, Buckinghamshire, England on their movie set in England which is why the “audience” (actors) are always the same in any clip of the movie.

STEINWAY & Sons Model D, Chopin, Paderewski= masterly performance, noble rich fortes, nuance !

[@Sanderus]

Funnily enough during his first American tour Paderewski butted heads with the Steinways. The Steinways thought they were making flawless instruments, Paderewski begged to differ and at least initially the company did not take that well :D But finally they reached an agreement and they set up the pianos Paderewski was using during concerts according to his requests. And after these modifications he loved Steinway pianos.

[@chrisczajasager]

Yes, I recall this temporary conflict. Was it his first tour? I believe for that short hiatus he played the Weber piano.My first concert with orchestra on Long Island, NY in 1956 i played a Weber. I am for years a Steinway Artist, having a mODEL D and a Paderewski-era MAHOGANY O, vintage 1908, enjoying both immenselywith gratitude!

[@Sanderus]

In first part of his memoirs Paderewski mentions two conflicts with Steinway company. First one during his first tour in USA - this was patched up after Steinways modified the piano according to his wishes. The second one was years later from the same reason - Steinway delivered him their "standard" instruments and then Paderewski indeed switched to Weber instruments for 2 years. They did not realise (or perhaps people had more class back then) that in this conflict Paderewski could really badly hurt Steinway with a little piece of easily verifiable information that he horribly injured his finger and quite badly his arm while playing the Steinway. During the first tour one of the service teams didn't know about Paderewski and Steinways agreement and they "reset" the piano to standard settings. The pianist was not aware of this. Still, of course it was not the instrument's fault but Paderewski's himself who was terribly "overplaying" preparing and playing absurd amount of recitals and concerts and ignoring fatigue symptoms and doctors' advice. But - as far as PR goes - if the information that an accomplished pianist severely injured himself while playing the Steinway went public and the public attributed it to the instrument it would be a marketing nightmare for the company. Another manufacturer he praised was Erard and he had a place in his heart for relatively unknown Kerntopf pianos - Kerntopf family tremendously helped him when he was a conservatory student. Great instruments you have Sir! I can't play a thing AT ALL but love piano music and I'm quite interested in pianos. I remember when I discovered during one of the recitals I attended the piano used was the same (of course restored) Steinway instrument on which Halina Czerny Stefańska won Chopin competition in 1949, during the break I was checking out the piano from almost every angle, just waiting for the security to intervene. Luckily they decided I was a harmless idiot who sees the piano for the first time in his life and needs to look at it closely :D
