The best thing about Wunder is that he's willing to play Chopin pieces that aren't as well-known or popular.

Leonora Armellini in the same competition (2010) wanted to play bolero, but somebody told her to don't choose it. That's why I'm here now. Source: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIKaZ5-PjLyib7s

[@Radiatoron88]

I love the Bolero and can't understand why it isn't performed more often. There's lots to love in it! I also love Ingolf Wunder's performance here--it's clear that he loves the Bolero, and that love makes this a stirring and radiant performance!

[@sulimabarba2935]

First time I hear this Chopin’s composition. Beautiful. Wunder is certainly wonderful.❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Alessandro_da_Rimini]

Wunderful,perfect performance.

W mojej i nie tylko opinii to Ingolf Wunder powinien wygrać Konkurs Chopinowski w 2010r.

[@radamik]

Very nice interpretation, most versions I’ve heard I don’t like - this is a very unusual piece but does have some stunning moments in it - I think it does have to have a certain flow to it (as here, with a few exceptions) to give it that elegant 19th century aspect, like when Italianate style for houses was replacing Greek Revival and Jenny Lind was about to become the first important entertainment celebrity.

Wspanialy pianista.

[@memorosales1952]

pretty good

[@flicfan416]

I'm thrilled he brought this work to the competition - probably the only time we'll ever hear the Bolero in such a high-profile context. Having said that....his touch and overall approach to the main A minor theme (1:53) is a bit heavy for my taste. I think a brisker tempo and lighter/more flirtatious attack is needed there.

[@xqf868]

well that’s subjective. Personally, i like his strong and forceful touch very much

[@jorgegutierreztellez3663]

Yike (Tony) Yang also played this bolero at the chopin competition

[@PianoSpeaks]

Amazing!!! Unrelated question are you allowed to play Sonata opus 4 for the Chopin competition? Because no one ever plays it.

[@philiplee3520]

You are allowed to play any Chopin composition in the second and third stage, the first sonata is just way too obscure, very few people ever pick it up to learn, let alone master.

[@PianoSpeaks]

@@philiplee3520 Ah Thank you!

[@rogercarroll2551]

It's Chopin's "Spanish Polonaise".

[@wolfgang4067]

I shall call this piece like this from now on

[@jessevallejo8797]

Very polished technique. Every note sounded so clear. He is excellent, he even made the Bolero sound good.

[@josesouza9820]

Seriously? It's Chopin we're talking about!

[@elsaesteves]

Bolero is an underrated piece, Bolero is a masterpiece 💗💗💗 see how Chopin started with a prélude of sorts then you can hear polonaise, waltz, mazurka and Balade air. Chopin was the greatest genius born in this world. Haaa, do you know what Chopin is saying?? He's p*ssed, he's angry, thinking to himself, he was a GOD ♥️❤️❤️ Chopin I mean. Bravooo Wunder, bravooooooo

[@Szyszyjan]

First chopin's piece was polonaise g minor

[@elsaesteves]

@@Szyszyjan no it's not, Wunder is only playing Bolero, besides you didn't understand what I wrote, I said BOLÉRO has everything in it, polonaise, waltz, mazurka, balade

Daje się odczuć nuty muzyki hiszpańskiej.

[@lalkaaaaa4825]

ciekawe jak by wygladala muzyka Chopina gdyby ten geniusz urodzil sie w Hiszpanii i miał do czynienia tylko z muzyka hiszpańska... albo np w Egipcie..... to byloby zupełnie cos innego niz bazowanie na melancholii polskiej, mazurkach,muzyce ludowej... dobrze, ze urodził sie w Polsce

Bo bolero to jest taniec hiszpanski wiec to oczywiste że bedzie brzmiec troche latynosko

What?Bolero on C Major? Isn't it in a minor???......

[@chopininstitute]

It is always a matter of interpretation. But yes, it is set on our channel that we use "A minor".

[@DanteDhillon]

Then why does it say C Major in the description? Bit confused?

[@chopininstitute]

Sorry, we didn't change the description, but title was correct. Everything is in order now.

[@lunar.6091]

@@chopininstitute will pianists ever have the option to play the trio in g minor for this competition?

@@lunar.6091 The trio in g minor is an extremely underrated piece, it's really sad because it's an absolutely magnificent piece... Maybe one day it will be unveiled in competitions and concerts...
