Krystian Zimerman - Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 5 in E Flat Major, Op. 73: II. Adagio un poco moto

[@deutschegrammophon]

What is your favourite ever recording by Krystian Zimerman?

[@bax7603]

I reckon that the 1st ballade of chopin is the best recording in all the history of music

[@heb612]

Chopin 4 ballade :>

[@Hordenloper]

The Grieg and Schumann concertos with Karajan. Goes with me to an uninhabited island !

[@FrostDirt]

The Chopin/Schubert 1991 CD is perhaps one of the greatest recording in the history of Classical Music. Too bad you removed it from your channel, DG.

[@catalina0710]

Difficult to choose. Beethoven Complete Piano Concertos with Sir Rattle.

[@KaisarAnvar]

I'm in tears... I grew up listening to Zimerman. Best pianist of all time without a question. When I learned about the fact that he literally can take a piano apart, and put it back together, and also the fact that he has 6 piano, each has its own purpose, I consider him not only as the greatest pianist, but also the "physician" of pianos. May Lord continue to bless you with health, happiness, music, and joy for many many years dear Krystian Zimerman. The world of piano wouldn't be the same without you.

[@virginiabuhn9719]

Oh, how gorgeous! Two master musicians, Zimerman and Sir Simon, have chosen an ideal pace for this lovely Adagio. They give us time to enjoy the peace and beauty, yet with a feeling of motion in anticipation of what is yet to come. Each phrase is filled with expression and meaning; the piano and the orchestra have achieved perfect balance. The result is poetry in sound...which has put me into a state of bliss. Ah!! Thank you!!

Zimerman has proved one thing in the pantheon of the best pianists in the history of known mankind. He has been more than outstanding since the Chopin Competition. Today it has become a continent in classical music performed at least in the scale of the world. In my opinion, after this album, No. 1 among pianists in history.

Come on Charles! Zimerman is a robot with colorless tone! Dimitri Bashkirov her teacher Anastasia Virsaladze teach saying to Bashkirov the most important Lesson is the Love of the beautiful colorful piano sound! This was already in 1930s!! Really shocking! All todays players are colorless cold piano sound olayers like Zimerman Kissin( ice cold piano sound!) Pletnev and latest hype student Yunchan Lim( played colorless cold Rach concerto no 3 in the Cliburn finals!) And crazy deaf people claiming Zimerman Kissin Pletnev and student Yunchan Lim the greatest! All the beautiful colorful piano sound players are gone dead like Wilhelm Kempff Emil Gilels Radu Lupu Artur Rubinstein Vladimir Ashkenazy! Really the greatest are Sviatoslav Richter( Genius no 1!) Maurizio Pollini( genius no 2!) Emil Gilels( the King!) Artur Rubinstein Wilhelm Kempff Radu Lupu Grigory Sokolov( The Giant! The Titan of Piano! Sokolov his rhythmic vitalness is unbeatable!)

[@kakoou3362]

@@RaineriHakkarainen i dont like any of the pianist you listed except sokolov, pletnev is great

[@bobjones-bt9bh]

@@RaineriHakkarainen Sokolov is astounding and grossly underappreciated. Pollini, Richter, Rubinstein, Gilels...all fantastic. But, among the greats, there is but one who brought more to the piano than anyone since Rachmaninov and whose work some of these people you list would neither perform nor record out of their own incapacity to do it justice (and they said so) - that is Glenn Gould. the entire baroque genre would not be part of the standard repertoire without him. In a lot of respects that contribution to piano exceeds Rachmaninov's compositional work, regardless of whether Sergei was the greatest technical pianist of the recording era.
