EVGENY KISSIN plays CHOPIN Waltz Op.64 n.2

[@edwardmorton6691]

I can't understand why most pianists fly through this piece as if the devil himself was chasing them. Surely this is a better way of playing it. Love it.

[@sreelathabalasubramanian2770]

True

[@rickvierbuchen2936]

Agree! Kissin is superb, but for a more dance-like interpretation listen to Zimerman in his performance of 14 Chopin waltzes (available on KZbin): not rushed, a fluid and sparkling dance.@@emmanuelsebaali1767

[@TheKoenigr]

I like it more, when Horowitz played it and he plays it faster.

[@AlexCombes]

True, once we heard the Kissin version we cannot forget it, even when i play this sheet i naturally play the same speed as Kissin cause i love it

[@calamitas7149]

@@emmanuelsebaali1767 I think sometimes thinking of the name of the song too much when playing can cause limitations in what is possible when it comes to musicality. I wouldn’t necessarily say a waltz is meant to be danced to, the same as how an etude isn’t simply for practice. Chopin typically strayed away from the standard waltz style of someone like Schubert as he wanted to adopt the form as a serious composition genre. He did the same with his mazurkas and polonaises, of which the names should make them for dances, but aren’t.

[@OliJono]

Sometimes it's the audio quality that makes the difference, don't forget that. Earing a piano piece in 320 kbps compare to other videos that are 128 or less, and also the Stereo/mono contrast. Many factors can be involved. Better quality = closer to real life (still far unfortunately). Yet this interpetration is still a chef-d'oeuvre.

[@MusikPiratCH]

***** If the audio quality is a criterium you don't only listen to the music! I don't care if Karajan has a "perfect" stereo recording of a Beethoven symphony when the mono recording of Furtwängler is musically so much better! :P

[@lannlann]

Don’t be silly, listen to Chopin - Waltz Op. 64 No. 2 by Rubinstein

[@rian12814]

This is probably the best rendition of the Chopin Waltz Opus 64 Number 2 (in my opinion, of course). Firstly, I think a lot of pianists, even with the likes of Rubinstein and Ohlsson, tend to play this piece with a bit too much speed, and end up almost losing the three beats of a waltz with the extended rubatos (again, just my opinion). Not only is Kissin able to manage the tempo, his rubatos are evident but executed so on point that the integrity of the waltz still remains. Also, the voicing and tone in some sections of this piece is just unbelievable. For example, at 1:21, he is able to play out four different voices (try to listen to the left hand bass' tone and voicing throughout the piece) with just two "obvious parts". Apart from this, there are many other great things about his interpretation, like how his legato and phrasing is also superb, and how his control of the notes/tone as well as dynamics also was very on point.

[@Vokal_StimmZ]

Best comment

[@gegebenein.gaussprozess7539]

I agree, this is an excellent comment, to the point. When I tried to play this waltz 35 years ago, I was looking for a paradigm in the sense: How I would play it if I were a concert pianist. At that time, there were still record and CD shops where you could listen to the CD before you decided to buy. I chose the interpretation of Claudio Arrau ( I guess Kissin and Wang were in their toddler years, if at all). Arrau seems to me today (2023) as an almost completely forgotten pianist, I don't know why. Please also listen to Yuja Wang's ENCORE at the Carnegie Hall, 2017. This is a very special rendition, extremely interesting, very personal..- Thanks for reading. PS: What distracts me a little from Kissin playing is the very beautiful young woman sitting right behind the piano😉

[@stevenchen7701]

I would disagree with you on various points. Firstly, Rubinstein and Ohlsson are not particularly indulgent with rubato (I might refer to Hofmann and Cortot for instance). Besides, I don't believe "too much rubato" is a valid criticism as it is far too broad, vague, and subjective. With respect to the tempo, I believe the piece must be played faster. A waltz is by definition a rhythmic, if not lively, dance; that essential aspect of the piece is lost when the tempo is slowed down mawkishly.

[@vivyrox7202]

But Chopin’s waltzes were not meant to be dances…

[@vivyrox7202]

Such a sublime performance. I love the chords used by Chopin. Unpredictable and yet they flow so perfectly. Harmony students note - rules are meant to be broken... that's where the greatness is created.

[@OpticIlluzhion]

I know this is a bit pedantic/nitpicky but I think Chopin is more someone who plays around with rules and bends them to his own will than someone who just completely disregards and breaks them, which runs the risk of sounding harmonically incoherent. You expect to be taken in one direction and he takes you in another, yet he does it in a way that does not make it sound in any way outlandish. The thing is, once you take a closer look at the harmony, you start to see how some chords are closely related to each other in ways that you might not have thought about, how some are modifications of chords that sound different but serve the same function, the use of parallel minor/major chords, how he uses certain chords to make transitions sound smooth etc. etc. As a composer and pianist, this is the type of stuff that I like to analyze more deeply, so sorry for the essay, even though this is probably just scratching the surface

[@MusikPiratCH]

For me two pianists surpass this: Artur Rubinstein (with over 80 years old!!) and young Krystian Zimerman! :D Lipatti is also slightly better, IMHO.

[@Panzerino02]

Only the Sergei Rachmaninoff recording surpass this. No others. Like, no others ( except Sergei Rachmaninoff ) surpass the late Sviatoslav Richter's piano achievements. Dinu Lipatti was a giant, sure. But the Rachmaninoff/Kissin interpretation is far better by sound, spirit, inner voice, i.e. all these things, which are behind the bars and notes. Listen also the Kissin / Sir Colin Davis Beethoven concertos recordings! And you will understand why the Kissin is one of the 3 best pianist today.

[@MusikPiratCH]

It was deadly quiet, you could only hear the rustle of ballet shoes. The smell of paint fills the old Soviet room with wooden poles and floor. The clumsy movements under this musical piece were not felt at all, you had a feeling of full control of your body. The pianist was an elderly woman with a Soviet mentality, she was strict and profound. However, when she played Chopin's music she was completely immersed in this melancholic atmosphere. As far as I know, she died 8 years ago in her old Soviet apartment. Thank you for the memories. Rest in peace.

i can totally agree with you, we Kissin was at the peak of his career when he was 15, every critic thought that his talent would slowly degrade over time, but he proved them wrong in 1998 at the concert that took place at the Royal Albert hall when he was 23, now he is improving and persevering in every possible. one day he will be a legend and still be that little child prodigy he was 30 years ago yet better. Kissin is one of a kind.

I have heard this piece from several pianists. However, Kissing performs it "smoothly" neither fast nor slow. I believe that the composer had this performance in mind when he wrote it.

This particular performance of this piece always gets me and has never failed

Brilliant, einfach brilliant.

Don't forget Krystian Zimerman ! ;)

[@heidilueck1543]

The emotions that come through on his face show how connected he is with this piece. I love watching his hands too - just beautiful sound coming out if this instrument. He connects with the piano so well. You just can’t do that as well on a sub-par quality instrument.

Kissin is the finest Chopin interpreter.

Великолепное исполнение. Так тонко и нежно. Казалось, что знаю каждую ноту этого вальса, а увидела совершенно другой мир. Мир гармонии и теплоты. Спасибо.

Chopin be bringing millions into classical music single handedly even centuries later.
