Video: www.lastwave.de | Rafal Blechacz during his recording of the 24 Chopin Preludes (July 2007 in Hamburg), released by Deutsche Grammophon.

[@rach3master]

My favorite Chopin Prelude!

[@Carlota1840]

I'm finding it very hard to find anyone else who does this piece as well as you. Absolutely marvelous performance. Thank you!

11年前に投稿されたとは思えないくらい綺麗な画質だし、演奏もKZbinの中でこの方の演奏が1番好きです

[@trandinhnamanh]

Eternal love exists, through his playing! Made me cry always...

[@DCSCHNERR]

I had an old recording of Horwowitz playing this and it got lost in a storm. This young man knows how to play this music. I am so glad to hear such a fine performance that I thought I could never hear again. Rafal--you are a gifted young man. Thank you.

[@hannastaszak1684]

Wielki, wspaniały Rafał Blechacz !!!

[@paopaomanalansan]

Blechacz's version is more expressive than any other else.. Bravo!

[@michaelbrodsky1221]

A great passionate performance. Bravo, and thank you.

[@emdtb2001]

Superb! I love that I can hear every note perfectly

[@TheGuyWhoJustShotYou]

AMAZING PIECE OF MUSIC! I love how Chopin uses chord progressions and really never "Changes" key. for instance this piece transitions from d minor to a minor to c minor to D FLAT MAJOR and back to d minor.....flawlessly. with out the sheet music you would never know!

[@DavitMinasyan-rn3fv]

Chopin’s transitions to d flat major always amaze me. in a lot of pieces he goes from c major to d flat major then to g major (dominant) and back to c

[@AemiliaJacobus]

This is the first video that I watched Rafał perform in. I knew of his name and I was curious about how he played. I remember constantly replaying this video straight after the first time I listened to his majestic performance and he is now my favourite young pianist. I hope he becomes one of the greatest pianists of this century. :)

[@Chopin1995]

1:58 I like this move :)

[@jonm2969]

Effortless, sparkling, virtuoso performance! Bravo, Rafal!

[@alwatsonpianist]

Awesomely superb with great passionate energy. Bravissimo!!!

[@marcela77777]

My deep admiration !!

[@mimimi230]

[@user-xe7hs8hh3j]

By far the best performance of this piece! Amazing!

[@EarlLedden]

This piece was beyond me hen I was younger, but now i want to give it another go thanks to this powerful performance. Many thanks for the inspiration! Earl Ledden

[@longeaton34]

Bravo, Rafal. Lovely and accurate playing. I can't even manage the left hand!

[@eos137]

Wow!!! Breathtaking, poweful performance!!! Thanks Rafal!!!

[@EvaYoungPianist]

One of the best performances of this piece! Thank you very much. Rafal Blechacz is a real artis.! So talented and... amazing! I'm stunned.

[@WilberRosan]

Amazing 5 Stars !

[@papareddu6]

Perfect!

[@sergiopolis1070]

thanks so much

[@martinemottini2284]

Excellentissime!!!!

[@TG2603]

wow he is so fast with his fingers! just awesome

[@るなるな-c3x]

感動します！貴方が弾くショパンが一番好きです！

[@PianoMagno]

Brillant!!

[@AldenHardaway]

Truly fabulous. Here we have an artist that compares favorably with some of the greatest pianists of all time.

[@kiitoob]

this performance is amazing!!! it looks real hard to play this song in such accuracy... very dramatic playing by the pianist, the best!

[@ahrjay3326]

This is a formidable prélude, the left hand is punishing and the right holds the all the passion. Chopin must've been holding in a lot at the time to conjure up something as demonic as this.

[@hectoremiliomaceiras7775]

Muy bueno, técnica y sentimientos unidos hacen una versión fuera de lo común, Héctor,.Buenos Aires.-

[@squigglyfun27]

he is very young and talented! good for him

[@gabgabriela5]

me encanta los acordes finales, la caída... es simplemente una hermosa cascada. Bravo!

[@alicjaszaa7624]

the best intetpretation for me. It is so moving and breathtaking...

[@Lingwistyk]

+Alicja Szała The Rubinstein interpretation of this composition is more breathtaking. Did you hear his performance?

[@user-hk1ol7rz5i]

이 느낌 너무 좋다... rafal blechacz 최고!

[@PianoMagno]

I expected no less of Rafal Blechacz!

[@GGG912]

This is going to be one of my contest pieces for this year!! I'm so excited to learn this song :)

[@moonpixxx]

An amazing prelude! Hope it all went well!

[@kingjepoy]

Clean and chiseled playing! Exceptional!!

[@LastedWave]

I got them from my splendid Canon cameras. Blechacz played only a few preludes for the camera (Nos. 13, 14, 15, 20, 24) during his recording session in Hamburg.

[@fisherroastedpeanut]

bravissimo! what clean, perfect performance!

[@Nynka89]

I love his play, his expression and emotions on his face.

[@ND-hj5st]

1:58 shivering

[@Sknerus93k]

genious !

[@nicermguy1]

Fantastic, better than most of the big(er) names on youtube that performed this.

[@elsaesteves]

Great great performance

[@PeterAndres18]

This piece features prominently in THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY (1945) and the music matches the film's bleak atmosphere perfectly.

[@maxroger9198]

thanks

[@GrzegorzNowacki]

*Świetne wykonanie ♪ ♩ ♫ ♪ Wielkie Brawa!* ツ

[@susanlloyd7395]

Bravo. Feels suitable for today.

[@ゴンザレスカリペロ-g4w]

I love this ,maybe one of his masterpieces. I used to listening this cool masterpiece as watching the Japanese soap drama's BGM. Misery scene's theme music. Anyway, I love this one too much.😂 Thx,you !

[@ieronim2003]

he's a genius no doubt

[@longeaton34]

Bravo Rafal, Played with passion and real talent. All that counterpoint was always too much for me. But not you. Very well done. Very impressed.

[@glantz91]

I agree with you. The revolutionary prelude.

[@justmartha]

yes you have spotted the progression. And, in between a minor and c minor, there is the important passage in e minor which connects to c minor initially by just a G note. On the piano, Db sounds exactly as C#, this is how Chopin managed to move from Db major back to d minor by the C#. I know many of you have known this already hah :P

[@oootto92]

GREAT!

[@mariavelazquezdeangulo1640]

Wonderful performance .

[@labochem]

Niesamowita gra, nie mówiąc o utworze.

[@republiccooper]

Perfect! A worthy laureate.

[@gam19652]

Bravísimo Rafal !!!

[@user-qt7pq3by1o]

very nice！ I`m going to play it ♪

[@AnnaKingaB]

You can easily hear that he's Polish :-) Perfect!!!

[@szlev1]

Tökéletes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@fabiopalma4429]

World class

[@jesusescobar6298]

Esta pieza es tan brillante como tenebrosa es el perfecto equilibrio

[@kanekokazuko7034]

素晴らしい‼️けど、やっぱりピアノの森の一ノ瀬海が弾いたこの曲の演奏が私は一番好きです。いったい誰が吹き替えしてるのか、たまらなく知りたい❗英雄ポロネーズも。

[@philcolbert7864]

don't kid yourself, this one is very tough and I've not heard a better rendition

[@kiitoob]

great performance.

[@go_miyazaki_1113]

素晴らしいですね。

[@jaquegro4759]

This piece was greatly implemented in the movie "the picture of dorian gray" (book by oscar wilde)

[@Bochum96]

So great piece! my left hand dies...... ;D and the part at 1:35 is hard to play it fast I LOVE CHOPIN

[@Vook]

No, "agitato" is Prelude 1, in C Major. This one is "appassionato".

[@christianvennemann9008]

1:35 WOW.

[@kandutery]

alfred cortot is my favourite version, but as always, Blechacz was great

[@風雨-s8i]

かっこいーー！！

[@aaabbbccc5]

Ja! Andras Schiff hat es mir erzählt! Undzwar hat er dieses letzte Prelude als Alternative für die Revolutionsetüde geschrieben also schon viel viel früher wie den Zyklus der Preludes auf Mallorca!

[@gfz87]

Like we say here in Argentina... Sacado!! (very impressive)

[@flyer31goo]

This guy is really galactic, I saw him last Friday in Heidelberg - either he has become even much better, or the recordings here in You Tube are quite poor. I am really not a piano fan usually, but Blechacz even plays Bach such, that I am completely fascinated (whereas usually I remember Bach as quite boring).

[@Vook]

This has always been my favorite Chopin prelude, but I prefer to think of it as a romantic piece, like a serenade...not something angry and tumultuous. I don't know...this performance felt a bit rushed to me. Still, I'm really impressed by how clean this is. The thirds run was especially good.

[@FilipusWisnumurti]

maybe you won't notice this, but in 01:30 until the end, it reminds me of Tom And jerry, it's the opening of the cat concerto episode

[@kemkamarul9353]

Yes the in the tom n jerry concerto

[@narwhal17]

woah

[@acerflots]

he is a mutant! niiiiiiiiiiiiiice

[@cholapat]

Nice T-shirt!

[@yakipola1964]

Wowwwwww

[@sunamiassault]

wah wah!

[@GGG912]

ITS JESSE EISENBERG >< also i love this piece

[@Chezmat1]

that shit at 1:35 looks tough.

[@naturalroyalflush]

It is.

[@minaedwar]

that's right, and the cartoon is Franz Liszt 2nd Hungarian rhapsody

[@snixder]

Well in fact, Chopin probably would've hated the nicknames people gave his pieces. I believe it was von Bulow who gave this piece that particular name.

[@glantz91]

Ach, no one knows, perhaps some hidden fanatic musicologists have given him a secret name also... (nothing to do with music) However, here Blechacz performs it as a good toccatta. greets!

[@An2quamaraN]

LOVE 1:35 - 1:39

[@C.A.1020]

Agree :)

[@Chezmat1]

yeah I'm trying to learn this piece but those runs at 0:23 and so on will take a looong time to master.

[@AoharuYouth0417]

青葉台、チケット取れなかった…… ぜひ、また日本に来てください！
