Zimerman?

@@thomasjohnston8970 yes. Zimerman is the best of the best. Incomparable.

[@fryderyk_chopin_sir_newton]

Rubinstein maybe ?

[@dannydaglas]

Expresses each musical idea with the precision of a surgeon, and at the same time, with the curiosity and wonderment of a child. One of the best performances I’ve experienced.

[@joshuafruend3348]

What a heart-wrenchingly powerful interpretation! The distinct approach to each variation on the theme, and especially the clarity of the coda really bring out the passion and beauty in this piece. Bravo, Ingolf Wunder!

[@Musicforever3000]

Fantastic interpretation! Powerful and colourful!

[@shandfan]

To think,this Ballad is technically the heaviest of the 4.

[@massimourban]

Really touching execution; the sound is always clear, round. In addition I personally find the exposition of the theme wonderfully balanced… It goes straight to the heart🎹

[@toodleoo88]

Chopin's music & heart is obviously in Ingolf Wunder's soul.

[@Tizohip]

10:27 perfect end

[@jessevallejo8797]

This guy is a really gifted interpreter. His technique is so polished & clear. I'd keep my eye on him. He's gonna go far.

He already has since 2010. Check him out closer.

This pianist makes this ballad that I’ve been enamored of for decades sound like a solar system of the most beautifully, perfectly formed pearls possible. With the radiant diamond sun! PWG

Honestly, while his technique and dynamics are good, I felt it was overplayed a bit and the overall pacing did not always help the organic nature of the music. The coda was quite good.
