Previously uploaded by another contributor at substantially the wrong speed.

The hair deserves a standing ovation.

[@sleepyeyes1968]

He looks like Bonnie Tyler with that hair

[@Giovanni-fj5cu]

His hair are fabulous

[@80sMetal24]

And the eyebrows and turtleneck. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

[@80sMetal24]

Excellent interpretation of the piece, though.

A wonderful interpretation, I really enjoyed it. A true pleasure for the soul.❤️

[@treborria4001]

Beautiful music, originality is wonderful Also, he looks like a perfect Mashup of Leonard Bernstein and Jay Leno

[@apug296]

Kinda looks like Celibidache too

[@stravinskyfan]

Lmao 😂

[@jyseoh]

Died too early. His son, Bunin, the winner of Chopin Competition. I don't see much difference from many other contemporary young virtuosos in terms of technique. But more relaxed... that's what I wanted...

[@paolofranceschi6874]

Wonderful video. Grazie tanto. ❤

[@thewordbtrue2461]

touches my heart

[@meredith218461]

Everything is there, artistic intelligence, spontaneous poetry, a sense of architectural structure. One of finest accounts of the 4th ballade I've ever heard. Was Neuhaus ever allowed to tour in the West?.

[@78625amginE]

I hope not. This is a terrible interpretation of the score. There is no structure; this is bizarre. Go back to school.

[@meredith218461]

@@78625amginE I beg to differ, however YT is a platform for diverse opinion.

[@thewordbtrue2461]

your fingers are each one a separate instrument .. magnifique!

[@adrianocastaldini]

In spite of the fact that I prefer Cortot's interpretation over all, here Neuhaus shines as a precious gem. Sad that nowadays young pianists seem to have forgotten this kind of great lessons...

[@LTD-Limited]

I can never seem to tell whether Krystian Zimmerman is part of the old generation of old pianists or new pianists, but I believe, without a shadow of a doubt, his rendition of all the ballades, let alone the fourth, are all absolutely fabulous. And in fact he is my inspiration and at 15 I decided that by 30 I wanted to have learnt all the Ballades and 9 months later I’ve learnt the first Ballade, but this one will definitely be the most challenging. I wish you a good day Adriano, and sorry I went off on a tangent, beautiful music makes me do that sometimes 😆.

[@EmptyVee00000]

I prefer Ashkenazy’s interpretation over all.

[@sagar1992]

​@Josephus Miller I disagree. Zimerman comes nowhere near.

[@adrianocastaldini]

@@sagar1992 Not at all, IMO. I'm not saying Zimerman is not good (even if I honestly don't like him) but his musical ideas are very far from Neuhaus.

[@Highinsight7]

Awesome... the dude's REALLY listening to the harmonies... and in a very profound way... (and such TASTEFUL rubato...!)

While this is great, I’m still gonna say my favourite interpretation is zimmerman’s not just because of the playing but also the quality of the recording.

[@finderrio]

Zimerman's recording(s) stand out as the gold standard of Chopin's ballades, almost objectively perfect interpretations. Other recordings might shine with their own originality and interpretations, but Zimerman will always be my go to for these ballades.

[@rjmalcolm8066]

I quite like the wonkiness of this recording, adds charm I reckon

[@pablobear4241]

I wanna grow old just like neuhaus, with lots of hair 🤣 honestly it is the best performance I've heard of this piece, amazing!

[@luisandraschnik3001]

This is a great performance but you must hear Sviatoslav Richter

[@MarcNTC]

@@luisandraschnik3001 thanks for the recommendation, he's good but he played some parts too fast, I still prefer stan's version 👍

[@luisandraschnik3001]

​@@MarcNTC Do you know tha S.Richter was a pupil of Stanislav 's father Heinrich Neuhaus? Sadly Stanislav dead too young at 53 years.

[@MarcNTC]

@@luisandraschnik3001 they're both good but I find stanislav's playing more authentic to the piece, especially the last 20 seconds, I never heard anyone playing like him

[@luisandraschnik3001]

@@MarcNTC jajaja 😄 for the same reason I prefer Richter's version , there are pianists for all "tastes" (I am a spanish speaker, I don't know if this literal translation makes sense ...). I am not sure which one is the historically informed performance if exist Did yo heard Ravel' s Bolero conducted by the Ravel self? It is very diffent with the rest of all performances in tempi. Thanks a lot, and glad to talk with you.

Another video ruined by ill-placed ads. Perhaps the many times I've listened to this before were on another site, but having an ad 3 minutes into this beautiful work is jarring. It's also disrespectful to the artistry of both Chopin and Stanislav Neuhaus. I dread hearing the rest, fearing that another ad awaits at some other inopportune moment. It's enough to make me long for the return of the Bolsheviks.
