    Only seventeen years old, and yet already so gifted, and such a poet. He swims in Chopin’s ocean like a fish, so easily, as its second country. What an artist !

      @@farazshadow2898 yea I guess Mozart and Chopin and all the other geniuses just practiced a lot to start composing at 5 and 6 years old. Of course hard work is most important to cultivate your talent, but to say some people aren't born with more god given ability is false.

      It doesn't mean anything to me, I prefer to trust my own musical taste. No offense. I'm not saying he is a bad pianist, obviously he has good technique and plays so well, but for me all of those unnecessary facial expressions and excessive delicate hand movements are a little bit false, and does not correspond to the music "wants" to explain and transmit. As a suggestion, listen the Rubinstein's rendition, that's definitely authentic!

    I began to play this piece at 17 after hearing it played at the Kennedy Center by Rubinstein, so his was the first interpretation of this Nocturne I experienced. I was mesmerized throughout. I am complimenting Lu's performance because it is his own interpretation yet similar in to the lightness of Rubinstein's interpretation. Rubinstein was, and still is my role model for Chopin interpretation, and performance. I like Lu's delicacy throughout to the climax at the end. This performance was restful, and not jarring. Very nice.

      Thank you bad1dobby for recommending Lisitsa! I have watched her on CZcams too. I notice her hands do perform like dancers while she plays! I read once (paraphrased here...) that her teacher criticized her technique, but that criticism didn't change Valentina's approach. I'm glad she had the confidence to continue with what works for her! You are so right, her playing is as fluid as her arms, and hands are to watch.

    I am learning this, though there are parts I'll never be able to play. I have listened to a few people while following along in the score. The 3s against 4, etc. are really rather difficult. In the final bar there is even a 7 against 6! Of all the people I've listened to, Eric Lu was the most exact in following out these complex rhythmic patterns. It makes a big difference; the lacy patterns of the piece become transparent. I'm not against rubato at all, especially with Chopin, but you have to respect the underlying mathematical pattern, and have that as a reference point.

    • @nandovancreij
