EVGENY KISSIN plays CHOPIN Waltz Op.64 n.2

[@edwardmorton6691]

I can't understand why most pianists fly through this piece as if the devil himself was chasing them. Surely this is a better way of playing it. Love it.

[@sreelathabalasubramanian2770]

True

[@darrenj.griffiths9507]

Most pianists play all pieces way too fast - I mean faster than marked/intended tempo.

[@rickvierbuchen2936]

Agree! Kissin is superb, but for a more dance-like interpretation listen to Zimerman in his performance of 14 Chopin waltzes (available on KZbin): not rushed, a fluid and sparkling dance.@@emmanuelsebaali1767

[@TheKoenigr]

I like it more, when Horowitz played it and he plays it faster.

[@AlexCombes]

True, once we heard the Kissin version we cannot forget it, even when i play this sheet i naturally play the same speed as Kissin cause i love it

[@aikiminomori2261]

Gosh, I love the way he plays. So gentle and silky. A lot of pianist plays this piece way too fast with too much fire. This really sounds like chopin.

[@nicolaj9303]

Chopin would probably play it faster considering this is slowed down, because it is his interpretation

[@nicolaj9303]

I didn't say that... I said that he probably played it like he wrote it, but you'll never really know. I'm not from the 19th century

[@nicolaj9303]

I didn't talk about who was the best at interpreting it... I was just saying that this piece sped up for the guy who made the comment, might be the original tempo

[@lefinlay]

The transcript is more of a guideline. I would be very surprised if Chopin didn’t use rubato, or play it (mildly) differently from performance to performance.

Yes, very precise desciption. For me, the best interpretation of tis valse ever.

[@rian12814]

This is probably the best rendition of the Chopin Waltz Opus 64 Number 2 (in my opinion, of course). Firstly, I think a lot of pianists, even with the likes of Rubinstein and Ohlsson, tend to play this piece with a bit too much speed, and end up almost losing the three beats of a waltz with the extended rubatos (again, just my opinion). Not only is Kissin able to manage the tempo, his rubatos are evident but executed so on point that the integrity of the waltz still remains. Also, the voicing and tone in some sections of this piece is just unbelievable. For example, at 1:21, he is able to play out four different voices (try to listen to the left hand bass' tone and voicing throughout the piece) with just two "obvious parts". Apart from this, there are many other great things about his interpretation, like how his legato and phrasing is also superb, and how his control of the notes/tone as well as dynamics also was very on point.

[@Vokal_StimmZ]

Best comment

[@gegebenein.gaussprozess7539]

I agree, this is an excellent comment, to the point. When I tried to play this waltz 35 years ago, I was looking for a paradigm in the sense: How I would play it if I were a concert pianist. At that time, there were still record and CD shops where you could listen to the CD before you decided to buy. I chose the interpretation of Claudio Arrau ( I guess Kissin and Wang were in their toddler years, if at all). Arrau seems to me today (2023) as an almost completely forgotten pianist, I don't know why. Please also listen to Yuja Wang's ENCORE at the Carnegie Hall, 2017. This is a very special rendition, extremely interesting, very personal..- Thanks for reading. PS: What distracts me a little from Kissin playing is the very beautiful young woman sitting right behind the piano😉

[@stevenchen7701]

I would disagree with you on various points. Firstly, Rubinstein and Ohlsson are not particularly indulgent with rubato (I might refer to Hofmann and Cortot for instance). Besides, I don't believe "too much rubato" is a valid criticism as it is far too broad, vague, and subjective. With respect to the tempo, I believe the piece must be played faster. A waltz is by definition a rhythmic, if not lively, dance; that essential aspect of the piece is lost when the tempo is slowed down mawkishly.

[@vivyrox7202]

But Chopin’s waltzes were not meant to be dances…

[@vivyrox7202]

Totally agree 👍🏻

[@Mrsjuniify]

He plays this music with such tender care and produces something so beautiful ! Chopin must be smiling down at him from wherever he is . . . This pianist is not just a technician but a real lover of musical expression. This is a lovely, glorious interpretation of a truly romantic soul !

[@OliJono]

Sometimes it's the audio quality that makes the difference, don't forget that. Earing a piano piece in 320 kbps compare to other videos that are 128 or less, and also the Stereo/mono contrast. Many factors can be involved. Better quality = closer to real life (still far unfortunately). Yet this interpetration is still a chef-d'oeuvre.

[@MusikPiratCH]

***** If the audio quality is a criterium you don't only listen to the music! I don't care if Karajan has a "perfect" stereo recording of a Beethoven symphony when the mono recording of Furtwängler is musically so much better! :P

Such a sublime performance. I love the chords used by Chopin. Unpredictable and yet they flow so perfectly. Harmony students note - rules are meant to be broken... that's where the greatness is created.

[@OpticIlluzhion]

I know this is a bit pedantic/nitpicky but I think Chopin is more someone who plays around with rules and bends them to his own will than someone who just completely disregards and breaks them, which runs the risk of sounding harmonically incoherent. You expect to be taken in one direction and he takes you in another, yet he does it in a way that does not make it sound in any way outlandish. The thing is, once you take a closer look at the harmony, you start to see how some chords are closely related to each other in ways that you might not have thought about, how some are modifications of chords that sound different but serve the same function, the use of parallel minor/major chords, how he uses certain chords to make transitions sound smooth etc. etc. As a composer and pianist, this is the type of stuff that I like to analyze more deeply, so sorry for the essay, even though this is probably just scratching the surface

[@Kseniammm]

Спокойно, ровно и без крайностей и срывов. Tempo giusto, без больших темповых и ритмических отклонений. Кисин дал возможность насладиться звуком каждой ноты. Многие исполнители просто напросто загоняют это произведение, так поддаваясь соблазну чрезмерного увлечения пассажами что с трудом удается распознать вальс. Мне понравилось. Легко, без вычурности и ненужного драматизма.

I remember when I was 6 I was doing the choreography in Russian school under this musical piece, this piece is very close to my heart and I still vividly remember how majestical it was. It was deadly quiet, you could only hear the rustle of ballet shoes. The smell of paint fills the old Soviet room with wooden poles and floor. The clumsy movements under this musical piece were not felt at all, you had a feeling of full control of your body. The pianist was an elderly woman with a Soviet mentality, she was strict and profound. However, when she played Chopin's music she was completely immersed in this melancholic atmosphere. As far as I know, she died 8 years ago in her old Soviet apartment. Thank you for the memories. Rest in peace.

I also love that he plays with so much conviction and honesty, that is what makes this piece such an attractive interpretation.

Only the Sergei Rachmaninoff recording surpass this. No others. Like, no others ( except Sergei Rachmaninoff ) surpass the late Sviatoslav Richter's piano achievements. Dinu Lipatti was a giant, sure. But the Rachmaninoff/Kissin interpretation is far better by sound, spirit, inner voice, i.e. all these things, which are behind the bars and notes. Listen also the Kissin / Sir Colin Davis Beethoven concertos recordings! And you will understand why the Kissin is one of the 3 best pianist today.

Evgeny Kissin's rendition is the first that I had heard of this piece, his rendition is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful things that I have ever heard. Other renditions of this piece that I have listened to just fail to compare, they're honestly disappointing. Kissin's passion while playing this piece is unparalleled.

The best piano play of this waltz by piano. Еvgeny give us all of colorfull, depth of sound, which Shopin put into his work. Bravo!!!

Chopin, particularly this piece, takes the stress out of life. If only for awhile

Самое красивое исполнение ❤ везде выдержано, мелодично и лёгкие припевы, под которые летаешь. Искала именно такое исполнение👍

i can totally agree with you, we Kissin was at the peak of his career when he was 15, every critic thought that his talent would slowly degrade over time, but he proved them wrong in 1998 at the concert that took place at the Royal Albert hall when he was 23, now he is improving and persevering in every possible. one day he will be a legend and still be that little child prodigy he was 30 years ago yet better. Kissin is one of a kind.

This is one of the best if not the best interpretation of this piece I’ve heard wow! The piano’s tone is beautiful for this too, well done Kissin👏🏻💜

[@sergedelval6261]

Simply wonderfull .... thank you for this gift ...

[@4musikable]

Beautiful, elegant, and moving. Thank you.

[@heidilueck1543]

The emotions that come through on his face show how connected he is with this piece. I love watching his hands too - just beautiful sound coming out if this instrument. He connects with the piano so well. You just can’t do that as well on a sub-par quality instrument.

I used to be able to play a number of classical pieces. This one was probably my favorite. I think that theme where he runs the continuous 16th notes (?) always feels like it's getting away from me. Like a waltz with so much happening so fast you can't even absorb it all. Like life. All you can do is absorb what you can and enjoy the beauty of the chaos and powerlessness you feel. Maybe I'm feeling sentimental lol.

Por lejos la mejor interpretación que he escuchado de este valse

[@dhio9615]

This particular performance of this piece always gets me and has never failed

[@RuggeroPilla]

This performance has been my main reference while studying as I was recording this piece for Steinway&Sons a few months ago: the way Kissin uses velocities and phrases here is SO EXCELLENT that I had almost put down the idea of recording/uploading it and I have listened to it maybe a hundred times without even noticing he had inverted two phrases in the middle section. Nothing musically relevant, so it's not even a mistake, this is to say that the great musical flow of this interpretation is so powerful that I almost forgot what I was listening to. As Toscanini said, he made me follow the music and not the notes. Incredible pianist.

[@luargambino]

great pianist sure, but there are better versions. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYuTeo1qbdGrl8U

[@indianaG5]

I agree Ruggero 👍👍

[@thejither]

@Ruggero Pilla: Agreed - Kissin's is also the only interpretation I've heard that really nails (or even attempts) emphasis of the left hand thumb as a second voice in the B theme. @luargambino You mad me for a moment, and I actually listened. While not a horrible rendition (well, except for *severely* rushing the B theme in spite of not being able to actually play it just reasonably well at that speed) - it's doesn't compare even remotely to the insight and musicality of Kissin's.
