Krystian Zimerman made his breakthrough in 1975 when he won First Prize at the International Fryderyk Chopin Competition in Warsaw. The Polish pianist’s interpretations of Chopin reveal infinite expressive subtleties and the underlying clarity of his story-telling through music. Recorded in Vienna in 1987, this recital of compositions by Chopin was first released in 1990.

[@davidkincaid5873]

I remember hearing my father play this in a recital he gave in 1971 when I was 9 years old. I’ll never forget thinking ‘My dad is amazing’ as I listened.❤️

[@ssbuzeno]

Darius kincaid's son?

[@TheToneRoom]

@@ssbuzeno No, sorry:)

[@bludika]

@@TheToneRoom did you become a pianist yourself?

[@TheToneRoom]

@@bludika No, I’m a guitarist😁

[@bludika]

@@TheToneRoom hah i see

[@spfqr4977]

I don't think there is a "correct" way to play chopin...even so, listening to zimerman is always a great pleasure!

[@mousikopaigmonas23]

But there is an ''incorrect'' way to play Chopin.. If you know what I mean. Zimerman is too good though!!

[@small7730]

ㄧ˙ㄧ˙ㄘㄞㄧㄞㄧ

[@J.R.Swish1]

To me his playing sounds as natural as breathing

[@purplefishy8164]

Nonsense ​@@mousikopaigmonas23

[@deonjurgens2535]

Technical excellence and yet the warmth and emotion Chopin would have wanted.

[@JohannHeinlich]

When someone says: „show me how should pianist behave” I show him Kristian Zimmermann❤️

[@Dylonely42]

Probably my favorite pianist.

[@ethanli2313]

You are everywhere in comments 😂😂😂

[@canalgugi9136]

O meu também

[@skipmatsey8352]

You likely not his favorite either

[@kwokvinnchan]

Zimmerman isn't a legend. He is a living legend.

[@hannastaszak1684]

Piękno muzyki Fryderyka Chopina to fenomen graniczący z cudem. Brawo Zimerman.

[@IVAN_PIANO]

It is the 10th time I am seeing in a single week Wonderful never heard someone play the scherzo 2 this good. It is a pleasure hearing zimerman play. Bravissimo

[@deutschegrammophon]

Thank you very much! So glad you enjoy it :)

[@IVAN_PIANO]

That's probably why he won the chopin competition. no one can play this well. Perfect in all ways possible

[@canalgugi9136]

Eu ouco 3 vezes por dia kk

[@user-mc6uv8eo2j]

Perfect timing and articulation. No more words.

[@ProSquidGaming]

It sounds so soft every time! Even in the chords, the top note of the main run, and the left hand How does he do that!

[@CarlSanchious]

This is my favorite Chopin piece. The drama and change in sections are all yet wholly joined....a strong, even, masculine, assertive minor key representation for sure.

[@HJ-yg4lc]

Saw him played this piece in recital weeks ago, with totally different interpretation to this one, but both are amazing.

[@luisfelipe8662]

I know it's been 4 years since your comment, but I'd love to know what differences you found between this interpretation and the one you heard! Greetings.

[@Sploinky_doinky]

Excellent performance

[@laurenceperaire418]

Wonderful performance. Mesmerizing . Thank you very much K.Zimerman .Bravissimo.❤ And DG too to enable us sharing this part of Eternity.

[@hollyavillella554]

Very wonderful ~ both the Scherzo and the pianist! Thank you so much! ❤

[@moein-lifestyle]

Bravo Kristian 💐. Excellent 👍 . This is the correct performance of Chopin . sit correctly & facial expressions are professional . Such a beautiful & luxury place . Thanx Deutsche Grammophon . 🌹

[@eaea2332]

great depth to the notes, great coloring, it is the first time i hear it like that.

[@wenshuoyan9990]

Chopin is actually unbelievable😱

[@user-lm4di3jb1l]

Großartig in jeder Hinsicht!

[@user-ns2pn8hc8v]

bravo!!

[@dabnauta]

Excellent audio capture!!! (Specially for 1987!!!) It really highlighted Zimerman's beautiful and expressive piano playing.

[@kobdup8315]

Just beautiful! 👍🌟💛

[@agamaz5650]

Amazing!!!!

[@musicshin2]

very good. breath taking performance!

[@Dr_Lashkari]

What a soul-touching performance!

[@hannastaszak1684]

Cudowna muzyka genialnego Chopina, boskie wykonanie.

[@ivangonzalezpolaiii1223]

Beautiful

[@louisecarmenturnea2948]

Stupendo👏👏👏

[@gilbert-noelsfeir4842]

1966 Martha Argerich provides an incredible range of nuances without even using the "una corda" pedal (I think) like Zimerman does. She also got more rhythmical nerve and shuts sharply the sound on the staccato notes before the silence values. Zimerman is yet splendid as always.

[@zenopiano7]

I believe this piece sounds much better without the sharp staccato that doesn’t even allow you to enjoy the greatness of the part

[@tepa1931]

Great

[@litoboy5]

great

[@user-br6vm5op4g]

Восторг!

[@shouthou7171]

Mistrz!

[@bienespiano9598]

👏👏👏

[@sotatasfreak1691]

Notes on 9:48 make my heart melt everytime

[@user-nw9np6yi7y]

Holy cow!!!

[@TF2Starlight]

3:00 zimmerman controls the piano with the left pedal and is using pressure on it with control as well as the left :0

[@COCO_IRISJIN]

7:51 what a sad moment it is ㅜㅠ

[@oakleymc9300]

If you listen closely you can hear him hum the melody at times!

[@cruscante]

Maurizio Pollini, Glenn Gould did the same

[@Kai-woLam]

I nearly thought it was Chopin himself who was playing the piece! Zimerman and Chopin are much alike in many aspects.

[@lloydl7425]

Excellent performance. One should also listen to audio recording of Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli on Scherzo 2.

[@Puran.]

😍😍😍🤩🤩

[@canalgugi9136]

Que sala maravilhosa é essa?

[@bosiljkavujovic9376]

Very nice interpretation! Also, try to listen this Scherzo interpreted by Alexei Sultanov! Thank you!

[@ElisPalmer]

🌟🙏🏼🌟

[@dakariwhite9762]

It’s doesn’t matter what’s on the page just as long as you tell the story of what you believe the music is telling you and the people listening

[@abu61sen]

4:33

[@ohheltfnah]

7:50

[@HatsuuHaru]

If you listen carefully you can hear him sing the melody at some moments !

[@toemoldyfungus]

0:30 is when piece starts if you wanna skip

[@DiegoDiego28281]

It’s a Piece

[@toemoldyfungus]

oh sorry my bad let me fix ot

[@amabilelee4416]

I've heard about this since long long ago.

[@ivangonzalezpolaiii1223]

Lang Lang ago 😉😂

[@ChiaLiang-lg3ss]

Whats going on at around 4:50 (and other similar passages like 6:30)? The right hand is written, in alternate bars, crotchet quaver quaver triplet but he plays crotchet then 2 sets of triplets in these bars... is this how Chopin meant it to be?

[@cyy4398]

6:05 叙情

[@LiquidTurbo]

Call me crazy but the mannerisms shown @2:38 I’ve seen in Seong Jin Ho and Yundi Li at some point. Not sure if it’s just a coincidence. Particularly since Seong Jin Ho mentioned Zimmerman was one of his heroes😊.

I keep thinking he even looks like Chopin 😂😂😂

[@adelefalcone1932]

Θαυμα

[@jonstewart464]

Of course this is absolutely wonderful. But, I think my favourite interpretations of the Scherzi are a bit madder, more like a mental breakdown expressed through the keys than an elegant or romantic song...

[@CarlSanchious]

And so untypical an emding....the last rushing and loud last major key measures ending this B flat minor piece.

[@skywalker2260]

bad..

[@Dylonely42]

Outstanding !

[@MrHector133]

Show me your performance

[@gixelz]

edgy teenager replies be like

[@brockpiano]

he played the "Probably because it was mediocre, no offense" card

[@cesarespinoza7968]

😮 Rubinstein plays it better
