  • Chopin is obviously not this man's métier.

    Competent, but neither moving nor exciting.

    The charm, atmosphere and character of a work comes more from phrasing, dynamic contrasts and a strong sense of overall structure than it does from "speed." In fact I'd like to hear a great deal less "speed" and a lot more thought, passion, imagination and attention to the poignant dissonances and mercurial harmonic changes that make each piece something special that stands apart from all the others.

  • @Pischnaholic - I agree, wholeheartedly - less speed, more thought to the next phrase with passion & intensity of highs & lows...the idea is take the listener somewhere, a place of serenity...not take them on a bullet train ride through Japan at rush hour.

    It was neither exciting or moving; to play someone like Chopin, a romantic, THAT emotion, is crucial. I have seen the same thing by guitar players, trying to play this piece...stonefaced, no emotion; it doesn't work...& is not believeable. L.

  • E Major: The accompaniment in the outer sections is too loud. Second section is supposed to be faster! Bravura section pretty good! Needs still more sensitivity and tenderness, though some nice shaping and rubato. C Minor: needs more practice! Good top notes. Try to build climaxes more gradually. A titanic piece if done properly. Great work for an amateur!

  • I don't like it....is really monotonous...more fast for me....

  • The playing is monotonous and empty.

  • you too...

  • It's far from 'empty', there's lots of nice phrasing there and he does all the basic things of producing very good tone range. The outer sections lack the subtelty and beauty of phrasing of a true concert pianist, and the middle does drag you are correct there, although for a supposed 'amateur' he handles the 6ths pretty damn amazingly. The C minor is a bit messy, obviously a struggle for him, here his amateur status is revealed.
