Frédéric Chopin: Piano Concerto No. 1 e-minor (Olga Scheps live)

Yes, it is very hard almost impossible to describe wonderful classical music when it is so spiritually and brilliantly performed. After hearing her play, I wrote a poem called, "Without Words". So, we both had the same reaction, so it must be right.

[@CaringCommentator]

its a tender, loving atmosphere vibe

[@DearMark01]

This girl's smile is hypnotic. Most pianists look in pain while showing emotion. I have listened to this piece played by many for the past 50 years and Olga gets my vote. I just listened to the Chopin winners playing this piece -- I think she would have won hands down.

[@byOldHand]

I agree with you Mark, this smile is exactly hypnotic.

[@johnnym6700]

I agree 100%. None of the players came close. Its a pity we never got to hear Nikolay play this piece. He was by far the best pianist in the competition. This is a once in a lifetime performance.

My opinion, Chopin is the greatest pianist

[@worthlessemail3626]

@@phsycopiano Greatest piano composer =/= greatest pianist in all fairness. That's undisputable vs. "Versus these other guys who were/are capable of things chopin couldn't even physically do." Alkan, Liszt, Ravel, Rachmaninoff, hell there were tons who were leagues beyond Chopin as a "pianist." Though, there are none who can compose as much meaningful music for solo piano and piano centered works in such a short of a time as he did! Not everything is a matter of opinions, I know this is the regressive era and all.... But depending on ideals too much will certainly make you miss the actual truth. -Someone who probably loves Chopin just as much as you do (if not more I literally have studied everything about him beyond his musical works for decades!) 'but doesn't like misinterpretations created by the delusions we call opinions' to justify what we don't know/can't actually explain. P.S opinions aren't inherently bad... But when we use them as an excuse for societal involvement and ostracization alike... It's pretty bad. It's like "Hey I want to start an argument about something I don't really have a reasoning for or can't be honest about!" Then next thing you know somebody who knows what they are talking about comes along... "No that's wrong! You will never change my opinion!" -The world in 2023

I was watching Olga's hands moving across the piano keyboard at the end of her performance and I had been struck at the sheer exquisite complexity of her fingers striking the keys to play her performance, the speed, the incredible complexity of what she had been doing with her hands to create her beautiful music, and just what that meant, the endless hours of relentless practising at her piano through the years for her to be able to play with the ease and grace that she had been able to play at the piano in this video of her performance with the orchestra.

[@Operabuff]

Olga Scheps is my new favorite pianist and I'm sure will be for a long, long time. I love the way she tickles the keyboard and engages the orchestra. She seems to be saying "You come with me and I'll come with you. " So seamless. What rapture.! That 1st movement is just out of this world.!! I am just blown away by this woman's artistry - her virtuosity, yet within the context of the work - the way Chopin meant for it to be - and we're not even out of the first movement, yet. Wow! Soft and with a purpose. Where does Olga pull up the expressions and richness of what she is experiencing and translating it through her fingers to the keyboard. And the conductor and the orchestra are right with her - and she with them. Oh, Ciel!!

A performance beyond beautiful - celestial, really. Greatness surely awaits this Olga; her excellence is already, apparently, achieved. Somewhere, Frédéric must be smiling. Yes, a chamber orchestra is perfect for this concerto & Olga's interpretation. The musicians blend into one whole with her: no "adversarial" alternations between players & soloist, as may occur with large orchestras. Conductor Duczmal handles everything perfectly with her players. She & Olga seem a perfect match, especially in their emotion & technical execution of the slower passages - one is transported... Olga's personal beauty, also, is most affecting because she seems not to have any ego about it, absorbing her feelings & intentions totally in her playing. Those who designed all the elements of this video production should be praised, too; it matches the excellent tonal quality & clarity.. Visual meaning & beauty complement any purely musical performance, if such can be achieved. Here, showing the evident emotion in the players' faces, the sense of unity of space in the Tonhalle, color, light, choosing the sequence of images, all on a high level, & not easily done. Agreed, KZbin is performing an important service in finding & presenting such superb work, sustaining an art of such purity in a harsh world.

After reading up some bits about the tragedies of Poland as a nation, it's struggles to revival. You ought to be proud. It's a great story.

How could the audience remain seated after such an incredible performance? She should have received 10 minute standing ovation!

Exactly!!

I am not an expert, but I thank Olga, all the musicians and the conducter for this emotional, amazing piano concert!!!

[@CK-kd5pn]

I really appreciate the scaled-down size of the orchestra because it allows the recording to hear the piano clearly

[@davesteelss3454]

It’s a chamber orchestra. As it is designed.

[@mmmvvv8262]

This THE best performance of this piece I've ever heard. If I knew before that she is that good, I would certainly taken a chance to go to a couple of her concerts before the Corona hysteria..

[@Rab_1967]

The more I listen to this the more it gets pushed up into my top 3 Piano Concerto of all time. I simply adore this piece. Bravo!

[@jackscholze]

Olga, Your performance of Chopins's first piano concerto is magnificent and memorable. The orchestra is also superb. I listen to this all the time, and it is elevating my spirit and healing my soul and my body. I remain grateful to you and your tremendous dedication and effort, which took many years and resulted in this remarkable level of playing. You are inspiring. Aloha

[@lucasvasconcelos5705]

I do not know who is Newman, but I can say that Chopin is from another world and this Newman guy is lucky to know that. Alas, some people do not.

[@karli7963]

Olga Scheps is so adorable... She is very beautiful, passionate, highly skilled and fully enjoying the music so even watching her playing is a joy! :)

Such a wonderful performance, by everyone. The orchestral sound from such a relatively small orchestra, the conductor, the pianist, and the audience- spectacular. Thank you, everyone x.

Everything just came together perfectly! A splendid performance by both Olga, the conductor, and the strings section. The pianist really took charge and absolutely delivered a spectacular performance! The fluidity was something else and I couldn't be more proud to watch such a brilliant performance! Well done everyone!

[@robertcohn8858]

Ms. Scheps plays with elegance and passion. Brilliant performance.

Grandiosa interpretación, grandes músicos ,gran directora y Olga , maestría , técnica , mucho sentimiento, dulzura, gracia. Para mí una de las mejores interpretes de Chopin y muchos más.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

This orchestra is so good in diminuendos, they can hold the music back at exactly the right moments. Together with Olgas playing this shapes a feeling of magic.

[@taoli5021]

@@staffanolofsson8201 A chamber orchestra is smaller than a regular orchestra and typically play in smaller rooms. A regular orchestra is larger and usually plays more in concert halls with more instruments and players.

I want to say something profound, something worthy of the emotion, beauty, and perfection that this performance delivers, but I cannot. I have no words. I only have an incredible swell joy that cannot be expressed, only felt. And I believe that is what a musician strives to deliver. Mission accomplished!

[@worthlessemail3626]

"I want to say something but there isn't enough time in my life to describe the actual depth." Chopin in a nut shell as he decides to compose.

[@jamesroecker6436]

Beyond beautiful. How many times I have listened to this and it seems to become more wonderful. LOVE IT.

[@will_wooderson3098]

Olga has wonderfully graceful and expressive hands: I love watching her lift them and caress the air! She interprets the varying moods so well too, as I am sure Chopin intended.

[@stayfresh1832]

I´m stunned everytime, how does she manage to look so happy and peaceful, while she is doing such hard work in front of hundreds of people

[@giantpro1]

After listening to it for 7th times I must say Olga plays masterfully with such joy and deep connection to every note,you can sense her appreciation of Chopin with every note she plays truly marvellous. ❤❤

[@johnnym6700]

This is my favorite performance of all time!!! Its a kind of magic that happens once in a lifetime.

[@Jordan_Friesen]

Thank you for bringing me back to my childhood. When I was young I would often wake to an Orchestra practicing in my Grandparents music room. I never realized how lucky I was to have had that as part of my childhood. It was usually just the strings, and the pianist. Occasionally some of the wind instruments would join. This brought me much joy today, taking me away from somber thoughts. Thank you.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

With what a joy and selfconfidence Olga plays this concert! And it becomes a joy to see her and this fantastic chamber orchestra under Agnieszka Duczmal in this performance.

[@RolandHuettmann]

The more I listen to this concert of Olga, the more I am catching each phrase and detailed expression. Can't stop hearing it multiple times. Listen to this attentively more than once! I wonder if such beautiful emotions could change something on this planet... I really like her movements as well...

[@gershompesach]

I only wish I had the capacity to truely appreciate Chopin...°!°

[@janetdanes7945]

Exactly! When I listen to music performed as exquisitely as this, I know there is hope for humanity. Chopin has left me with this hope in a world that often depresses me. This particular performance is now on my 'Most Loved' list for this Concerto. Cho's performance though remarkable, left me hungry for a more lyrical interpretation. I have found it here. 😃💕💕

[@willknapp8751]

21:00 She plays with an absolute ferocity that really is next to impossible to match, let alone Teach. Bravissimo! Also its nice to see everyone having fun during Rondo, she seemed to just have fun with that piece, always nice to see.

[@larryhagemann5548]

Oh, how often I return for another encore of this beautiful performance of Ms.Scheps. Chopin is truly happy with her interpretations.

[@stefqotto5672]

Another young musician who plays in a "magistral" way! Really astonished of how many unbelievable talents are appearing today in this area... Clearly a musical education is today far more affordable by everyone, in comparison to previous centuries.

This slow, it's really beautiful. This young woman feels the music in each note she plays, wonderful to see and listen to.

One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever created, played so beautifully... carefully... It is spellbinding. My hair stands up on my neck, my eyes tear.

[@raycornford283]

Can't believe I've only just discovered Olga. What a sensitive and sympathetic performance of what is surely one of the greatest piano concertos. Unlike some of the other commentators, I enjoyed the small orchestra. It allowed greater concentration on Olga's playing. Good to see a female conductor, too.

[@danademartino2111]

Me too. Lovely performance by Olga and the smaller orchestra and always good to see more female conductors.
