He evidently fully enjoys playing music, and derives the fullest happiness from doing so. In other words, the musician we dream of becoming.

Pela primeira vez eu ouço a provável interpretação de Chopin dessa valsa. A melhor performance que já ouvi. Um sonho fantástico. Além de pianista é um poeta, pois as frases melódicas têm palavras quando ele toca. Simplesmente maravilhoso. Orientais não passam essa emoção.

@@kellyng2548 He is a legend! I’m just saying that compared to his facial expressions, Wunder’s facial expressions are practically unnoticeable. People also unjustly criticize Cecilia Bartoli for her facial expressions. Frankly, who cares about facial expressions! As you mentioned it in your earlier comments, the most important thing is that the musician is an amazing performer. Everything else is secondary.

[@Michaur]

This is the best version of the performance of this Chopin waltz that I have heard so far. It is almost perfect. Almost... One of the few pianists who has touched Chopin's soul in this piece. However, a small imperfection crept in at 2:19. With the right hand, while holding the long note F with the thumb, it should have been played together Db with F, while it was played C with F. If it were not for this small detail, the performance would have been perfect. Many congratulations, wonderfully played nonetheless. ❤️
