F.Chopin - Ballade in F minor, No.4, Op.52

[@alfredwiener9136]

So sensibel, ideen- und nuancenreich interpretiert habe ich diese Ballade noch nie gehört. 🔥

[@hannahswarowsky]

Sie ist eine berufene Chopin-Interpretin, und auch ihr Mozart atmet Geist und Seele. 🌹

[@rattywoof5259]

She makes this fearsomely difficult piece sound almost easy - the mark of a true artist and a tribute to the years of hard work such musical stars have to put in.

[@MarcBorel66]

Chopin + Natalie = un instant de bonheur Merci merci merci !

[@GnRKauai]

I watch this performance several times per week. I really like your interpretation and of course this is my absolute favorite Chopin piece…and has been for over 30 years.

La verdad no sé si leeras este comentario, sin embargo quisieras que lo leyeras. Personalmente no vivire de la musica, pues sere Ingeniero industrial. Sin embargo, pienso tomar clases con el fin de lograr tocar como tú, pues el como tocas el piano, la carisma que te caracteriza al hacerlo, y tu gran e indudable talento, me han inspirado a querer tocar como tú, cueste lo que cueste. Gracias por darme inspiracion a hacerlo. Te lo agradezco de verdad :) Nota: Saludos desde Perú I don't really know if you would read this comment, however you would like you to read it. Personally, I will not live on music, as I will be an Industrial Engineer. However, I plan to take classes in order to be able to play like you, because how you play the piano, the charisma that characterizes you when doing it, and your great and undoubted talent, have inspired me to want to play like you, whatever the cost. Thank you for inspiring me to do so. I really appreciate it :) Note: Greetings from Peru

She plays with great emotion, love and perfection!

[@mitchellmarshall6873]

Such an exquisite performance! And your videos are perfection - no fancy faux-artistic angles - just simply watching you play and focussing on how your hands interact with the keys. A pleasure to watch and listen to. Thank you for making your performances available on youtube.

[@PastorMoabel]

Very beautiful. Thanks for uploading .

am i the only person who is thinking ballade no 4 like fur elise *#$*@&$&+¥?!? lol

[@bifeldman]

Heart stopping. What a gorgeous demeanor she has and what a sumptuous sound.

[@fredrickroll06]

Perfect, like everything you do! Wherever appropriate (through most of the piece): gentle, relaxed, tender melancholy!

[@JXS63J]

Ah, Youth! We have here a perfect rubato. This is fine pianism. I only wish that the sequence from roughly 7 minutes in to 9:40 or so had a greater, almost explosive, climax; not necessarily louder or faster, but more pronounced, as here is what the piece appears to aim for. The remainder of the piece thereby becomes the thoughtful resolution of all that had come before, giving us the full dramatic impact of this Masterpiece. Maybe I have heard too much Arthur Rubinstein, as earlier I had imagined him reacting to this in a Master Class setting and felt he would have been speechless she performed this so well. Up until that above mentioned sequence. But Mr Rubinstein spent a lifetime to come to an understanding of this piece. Given Ms Schwamova's youth, I can't imagine she will not one day play this with the overwhelming power it deserves. Again, a really fine, almost riveting performance.

[@antoinezygfryd]

votre Arthur Rubinstein a complètement raté Michelangeli au concours de Bruxelles.....votre Rubinstein s'est planté face à un des plus grands pianistes de 20ème siècle....alors cessez de nous gargariser de noms de références illusoires.Votre Rubinstein n'est pas une référence. (entre nous soit dit votre Rubinstein jouait tout de la même façon)

Yes, my favorit Ballade. I am also working on this piece for over a year now. To me it is a journey, starting from home, visiting places and facing situations of life. It is quite difficult for players to find the subtle breath permiating throughout this piece until the coda brings all to a finale. Thank you.

[@leonardocoralcompositor]

Yes, for me it is also like and incredible journey. Studying this Ballade is like going up to the Himalaya. Great music.

[@katharina_klotz]

One of the most beautiful perfomances I hav ever heard ❤❤❤ I love you, you are an amazing person and I look up to you, your achievements snd your unique playing style

[@javiercastillo2678]

You are more than amazing, this interpretation is one of the best I've ever seen. Wonderful

[@rooron3152]

Flawless. You're really amazing, I've been following you since 2015, I can't believe we are the same age and you're already this successful. Greetings from Peru ❤️

[@johnleung3372]

The signs on the seats...thanks Natalie for this great performance amid the covid pandemic

[@chipesh]

"I know nothing in music like the F minor Ballade" said James Huneker. Nor do I. From tingling my body at 17 I'm still here at 71 feeling much the same as I did back then. The pinnacle of Chopin's works. And that is saying something.

[@Alphabunsquad]

Absolutely sublime! What an achievement mastering this piece is. You deserve millions of views. I understand why pieces like this aren’t popular since they are so distant from modern music but damn is everyone missing out.

[@jerrys_milk]

I am so happy to have subscribed to this channel! Its a pity to miss out on such a superb performance

[@lavigeriemathieu1294]

Wonderful, wonderful artist, always showcasing the music to the best of her ever-increasing ability, instead of herself.

[@jacquelinezeiller6477]

Quel talent! Et ,en plus, quelle incroyable force, délicatesse et élégance naturelle dans le toucher de ses mains sur le piano, toute son approche est: effacement d'elle même, et investissement total au service de l'oeuvre qu'elle interprète, avec une sensibilité tellement vibrante, que l'on est complètement dans l'émotion, d'un bout à l'autre de son jeu. Bravo Natalia, je vous suis depuis des années et votre façon de jouer me bouleverse, vous ètes une artiste exceptionnelle, un petit miracle, en fair!Bravo,bravo, bravo, et merci pour ces beaux enregistrements!

[@hervich]

Évidemment la version Hoffmannn reste inatteignable ... maïs parmi les innombrables versions modernes, j’ai rarement entendu autant d’honnêteté dans un jeu à la fois solide, féminin, puissant, parfaitement maîtrisé mais confondant de naturel et remplie d’une émotion jamais surfaite.

[@leonardocoralcompositor]

Una belleza de obra y de ejecución. Gracias por compartir. Beautiful work and wonderful performance. Thanks for sharing.

[@fabriziolai1910]

Splendida, come sempre...

[@lluisrafalessole-classical5068]

Wow Spectacular Bravo Beautiful music 🎹👏😘🎶

[@tronkel1]

That rubato approach reminds me of Horowitz's style. The piano is well-tuned and voiced. This lassie is about to take her rightful place amongst the stars - a born and phenomenally gifted musician.

[@antoinezygfryd]

Horowitz était un clown. Il ne laissera aucun héritage sauf chez la secte concernée.

[@rravvia]

Always very impressed by her. This is fantastic, great tempi.

[@salvoiagolentini8769]

How did it happen that Natalie does not compete in Warsaw this year? I remember her from the previous edition of the contest in 2015. She was then the youngest competitor. I liked her performance very much, I expected that she would come and win the next time! What happened?

It needs more cowbell

[@francescocaracciolo4762]

Piu' sentito...

[@iampracticingpiano]

The feeling of a dotted rhythm in the first bar was disconcerting. Those three repeated octaves are meant to firmly establish tempo and pulse (6/8 times), in my opinion. Still, it was a lovely performance.

[@orlandocfi]

I think it was an interpretive choice on her part and I respect that. She was very consistent with the “push-pull” that seemed to evoke waves of emotion. Chopin purists are very picky about the way this particular ballade is presented, but I think it is the one that most begs for artistic license.

[@iampracticingpiano]

@@orlandocfi You make valid points and I agree with you. I do think it is more convincing to "play" with the pulse after it has been clearly established.
