- Interpretación de la Mazurka in A minor, op. 68, n. 2 de F. Chopin, a cargo del Maestro Grigory Sokolov en el "Concierto de los Derechos Humanos 2019", organizado por la Fundación Onuart el 14 de diciembre de 2019 en la Sala de los Derechos Humanos y la Alianza de Civilizaciones de la sede de la ONU en Ginebra.
Interesting to see Sokolov in less than ideal circumstances: weird aquarium-like hall, paparazzi, garish lighting, stunted acoustics, out-of-tune piano... and yet as soon as he sits down, interiorizes, commits himself to it, starts to play: everything is transformed, nothing is merely of this earth anymore... the sublime made palpable for two minutes, once again.
What a beautiful description... I agree...
Out of tune piano?
The most beautiful interpretation of this piece mazurka I have ever heard
Check out Michaelangeli
@Shostacovid I know! And it's so mysterious and gloomy but at the same time light and quick.
His Op 68 no 4 is the best interpretation!
Also check Virsaladze
@@devonchristopher5837 check......at least other 20 pianists..
Как тонко и изящно пианист исполняет мазурку! Красота!
Браво маэстро!!! Как всегда гениально.
Even with an out of tune piano this is one of the clearest performances of this piece.
The piano’s not out of tune, is it?😂
@@Agnes_Sky8 A bit. A bit...
Despite my perfect pitch I can't hear that it is out of tune. I doubt Sokolov would have played
Amazing. Nothing short of superb.
You have a perfect understanding of Chopin in every way. Sublime!
He doesn’t. When he plays mazurkas, they sound like nocturnes.
@@elias7748 that must be why I like his interpretation…81 year olds like nostalgia!
Hauntingly beautiful. So refined, clear, and rich with memory.
Very similar to michelangeli's interpretation, beautiful indeed
Sokolov hold Michelangeli to very high esteem, I read it somewhere...
Very impressive.
Bravo Maestro! ❤❤❤
only if that B key were in tune..
😍❤️
美しい円なトリルと、ショパンの陰鬱とした絶望感のようなイメージが、マズルカとなって耳を伝い心に染みてくる。ソコロフというピアニストは凄い。
Simply amazing performance, though his nails are too long, wonderful tone and articulation though.
He look very surreal even if waltz 2 is beautiful piece
C’est bizarre mais la meilleure interprétation de cette pièce s’est jouée sur un piano désaccordé
Chopin's Mazurkas are extremely difficult.

😅
Нематериальная игра... Суть музыки... Непревзойдённый пианист!
Out of tune piano for a wonderful performance. Oh dear
Hallo
good to see boris johnson playing again!
Lol!!!!
Very slow and mannered.
Das Klavier ist nicht gut gestimmt.. man hört es bei der Oktave
Why player with out of tune piano? Terrible, i love sokolov
For all its admirable pianism this trill-obsessed rendition of Chopin’s mazurka op. 68 no. 2 misses the mark, in my opinion. This hardly feels like a “lively triple-meter polish dance” to my ears and more like a beautiful walk in the park. But the trills, and Sokolov’s general control, are truly impressive.
For a more dance-like version of this mazurka, try this: czcams.com/video/_TSin9Kelfk/video.html
In my opinion, that’s the spirit!
in chopin. not all mazurkas are meant for dancing.
@@ChopinIsMyBestFriend Agreed. But for all its beauty, I still find Sokolov’s interpretation a bit static. There are other ways to do it.
@@henridam well i’d say that you shouldn’t play it exactly the same every time. chopin didn’t. and i’m sure sokolov has been playing that piece for decades and has entertained the more dance like interpretation. that day happened to be that one. I enjoy both.
@@ChopinIsMyBestFriend
I agree with the idea of variety of interpretation. For some reason, Sokolov doesn't strike me as an "instinctive" interpreter. On the contrary, he seems to carefully calculate every detail of his performance and, when a passage repeats, he plays it exactly the same way every time. No place for spontaneity here. He's the Meryl Streep of piano playing: admirable but not moving. Like her, every move is perfectly planned and executed. And the result is you're more impressed than genuinely moved.
Now, I know that a lot of people will disagree with me about Meryl Streep (and, undoubtedly, about Sokolov).
And that's ok.
@@henridam I don’t think you know what you’re talking about. The example you gave plays it the same every time. When I started playing this piece i instinctively played it the way your example plays it. like a mazurka. but when i feel like it i like to slow it down. I think sokolov wanted to squeeze more out of it. If you know anything about piano you’d know grigory sokolov is one of the best pianists alive. You seem to like to criticize. Understand he’s far beyond anything you know and has been there done that. Just enjoy the interpretation.
se me hace demasiado larga y cansina esta versión. Demasiado trino repetido como para encima que nos lo repitan a cámara lenta. Compárese con esta versión del propio Sergei Rachmaninov czcams.com/video/h4-1v__-YAs/video.html
