Quite a few contestants played this Ballad during this 18th International Chopin Competition. I look for how each one handles the Presto con fuoco runs e.g. beginning 2:14. . Yundi’s clarity and con fuoco sets the standard. Especially the clarity. Simply amazing.

Yundi is far and away my favorite pianist today. This particular performance is just… transcendent. He evokes every emotion at the perfect time, treats every note with the reverence it deserves, and he does it so cleanly that it sounds almost impossible. There are so many pianists with the perfect, pearlescent technique expected of today’s pianists, but their technically brilliant performances often come across as sterile, even lifeless. Yundi’s interpretation here manages that technical perfection while breathing life and humanity and pathos into this beautiful work. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced this ballade feel so alive. I have all of his albums and listen to them frequently, but I wish he (or his team) would post more of these performances. The visual element adds so much, and since most world class artists never (or very rarely) perform in Orlando, it’s the closest thing I can get to seeing him live.
