I’m going to see Krystian Zimerman play this next week. Really excited to finally hear the legend in person.

[@filippaczesny9432]

Where is the concert?

[@cambodennis]

It’s in Suntory Hall in Tokyo. He’ll play some Chopin and Debussy as well.

[@rachguy]

Wspaniałe i ponadczasowe. Ta muzyka będzie zachwycać wiecznie. Dzieło stuleci i symbol naszego narodu polskiego.

I'm starting to think that every time I look up a somewhat esoteric piece on CZcams, I can guarantee that if it's hard as hell, the pianist is going to be Marie-Cathering Girod. Thanks for posting!

[@aloziecnwachukwu1515]

Or Marc-Andre Hamelin

[@CatkhosruShapurrjiFurabji]

8:13 thundering bass drops!

[@tonylogan4092]

Fantastic playing!

[@Nodalema]

Extraordinary performance of an amazing piece!

[@SCRIABINIST]

5:05 So Scriabinesque!

[@aloziecnwachukwu1515]

Near the end is Lisztian

[@pandude53]

This must be one of the hardest pieces ever written, sort of a mash up of Medtner and Reger

[@central9823]

easier than his 2nd and 3rd sonatas. These are brutally hard. But still far from hardest…

[@CatkhosruShapurrjiFurabji]

Epic!

[@baghirovali2361]

Can we talk about the passage at 0:18? It is absolutely brilliant
