    To my ear and musical sensibilities Zimerman sets the gold standard for playing Chopin. His understanding of all the subtle details, where the leading tones are, and how to respect the dynamics and tonal overtones are simply amazing. He never loses the context of what came before, and what comes after any passage he plays. He lets the notes breathe, and nothing is ever rushed. I expect that Chopin himself would have been amazed

    There is perhaps not another pianist of the 20th/21st Centuries with a finer sense of tonality, phrasing, colour, and beauty than Krystian Zimerman. His interpretations of the music of Chopin and the other early Romantics are SECOND TO NONE! Not only that, but his Brahms, Chopin, Liszt, and Beethoven Concerti performances are out of this WORLD! There is nobody else with a stronger sense of tonal beauty, tonal colour, and pristine clarity like that of Mr. Zimerman. While most prefer Rubinstein as the top Chopin interpreter, I strongly disagree with this belief. Although true that Rubinstein was indeed one of the Greats of the 20th Century, Zimerman's performances of the early Romantic compositions are surpassed by nobody else.

      For me Rubinstein and Zimerman are equal at Chopin! While Zimerman has surely a technical advantage over Rubinstein, Rubinstein on the other hand has a rhythmical advantage over Zimerman. That makes them for my taste pretty equal!
      Rubinstein and Zimerman have more in common: same golden tone and they both serve the composer! I put them both at No. 1! :D

    For young pianists, this is an object lesson in how to play the piano. His beautifully relaxed technique is reminiscent of the great pianists of the past - Arrau, Rubenstein, Michelangeli, Richter - not a movement is wasted, not a single passage forced. Compare this to the highly tense and laboured playing of a pianist like Kissin. Equally effective results, but whereas Zimmerman hardly raises a sweat in the most difficult passages (e.g. codas of Ballades 1 & 4), Kissin's playing is full of tension and effort. Zimmerman's effortless technique, while certainly the result of had work, frees him from all technical concerns, allowing him to focus on tone, phrasing and structure and to imbue his playing with the most wonderful musical poetry.

      I don’t think Kissins technique is that bad. It might look like more effort but then again everyone is different. What works for Zimerman doesn’t work for Kissin and vice versa. Of course you can look at this video and admire his technique but in the end everyone has to find their own approach to technique imho. Every hand and body is different

    Krystian Zimerman nous livre ici un enregistrement qui n'a pas d'équivalent ; à chaque fois que je le réécoute, je suis émerveillé par ce que cet artiste a atteint. Je crois bien que c'est le seul enregistrement d’œuvres de Chopin que je connaisse qui me semble à la hauteur du génie qui mit cette musique sur papier. C'est phénoménal. Le plus incroyable étant que M. Zimerman arrive tout de même à jouer avec simplicité...
    Un très haut moment de l'histoire de la musique.

      More like Liszt in His later stages, Liszt in His youth was more about showing off than anything else. He’d even add unnecessary things to the music that would make the music less beautiful and the performance more focused on the performer.
      Zimerman is the complete opposite, while He posses immense skill, He uses it to express the piece and even though it’s His own interpretation He doesn’t try to make the piece centered around Him, reminds me of Chopin much more than Liszt or any other composer.

  • @mdg140
    @mdg140 Před 7 lety +3

    Zimerman has such a refined touch that is able to express the playful moods and gentle melodies of Chopin's Scherzo No. 2 in a way they can be really enjoyed an appreciated. Some interpretations of this piece are at a tempo that is so high, much of the enjoyment is lost. It's comparable to savoring a sip of fine wine vs. gulping it in one shot. It all goes to the same place, though very unique experiences.
