I own a vinyl shop and I got records most of Chopin virtuoso like Argerich, Zimmerman, Rubinstein, Kissin etc and Thai Son. I like them all for different reasons, but I say Thai Son expression is very unique. He could make me cry in some passage, and make me strong in others

Well, and now I just heard such a ridiculous idea from some guy named stellinna96 that there are people who don't have soul. It's pretty funny to say that, isn't it?
I heard several times, some men and women, musicians especially from republics of the former Soviet Union say that, "Asians don't have souls, and they could never interpret European Music as well as we do". If this pianist did not have a "soul", he would not have won this prestigious competition. Well, he graduated from the Moscow State Conservatory. However, one can learn technique, but not talent. It's a relief that the judges of this competition were not prejudiced.
@KarrotKun1 I think that for famous pianist like Kissin, Lang Lang or Volodos, there is like some kind of deal, they actually dont need to prove anything to anyone, but i also thoug alot about what would happen....Lang Lang its like 26 i think.....so he still can ..... its a little hilarious to imagine that...lol
@KarrotKun1 some of them do. Most winners and runner ups become world famous. Look at the list of previous winners and the judges of these competitions.
What Chopin competition does is opening doors for those aspiring pianists looking for an international career (When they win, the get media exposure thus contacted by agencies and record companies),not helping those to "prove" anything. Since Lang Lang already got famous (more than 10 years ago when he replace Andre Watts last minute) and enough media attention, there is no point for him to enter, consider his teacher Gary Graffman never likes the idea of competition to start with.
DTS said that he felt annoyed about the common talks of DTS/Ivo/Martha, because what Martha was not happy about is that Ivo couldn't even get into the final; Martha didn't say the she felt Ivo is more worthy to get the first prize than him.
You need to listen the famous Nocturne no 2 op.9 played by him :no pianist can play this nocturne with so much emotions and truly feelings like him ..I have the completed selection of Chopin Pieces by him ,I really pround about that and I listened to his nocturnes every night instead of Arthur Rubinstein ~!Vietnamese persons pround of him and I'm pround to be Vietnamese~! Sorry for my English.
he's the most excellent pianist in the world for me. his parents and some members in his family were dead because of bombs in 1972 when american people conquering vietnam. And after passing this bad pain, he became the first asian people to won chopin competition in 1980
@ilovevietnamful I don't know where did you find the information that some members of his family were dead in the war.he has 1 sister and 1 brother.His sister,Professor Tran Thu Ha,the old director of Hanoi Conservatory are still ALIVE as well His brother who is a architect is also alive.And even his mom(who taught my teacher)who is nearly 100(92 years old,if my memory serves me right)is very healthy at the moment!His dad died because of his own disease,not because of the war.
@ilovevietnamful This is not true, where have you heard this from? I've read an interview of his MOTHER, Madame Thai Thi Lien, conducted around a year ago!
The myth sounds quite believable but that's not the truth.
@linhpiano In fact Vietnam sucks, cause this nation didn't appreciate it's taents. That's why Dang Thai Son doesn't live there. And I'm saying it as a Vietnamese
senunotrop - if you look at the Pederewski edition you will see that at 3:10 - bar 48 - he didn't make a mistake. That trill in the left hand is written in. He plays this to perfection in my estimation. It's beautiful.
That was incredibly rude of everyone at the end, they started coughing instead of applauding him. That's really horrible I would be really upset if that happened to me... well done Dang Thai Son!
@callenishss I saw your vid. Please do not think that you're better just because you played it faster. You also have a tendency to play the left hand too loud.
If you don't like him,you don't need to comment anything!He is the pride of my country.Hes A LENGEND!Hes the heart of Vietnam and you know,he made Vietnam's music more radiant!How will you feel if I say something like that with your idol or the pride of your country?I know Vietnam is a poor country but we have self-esteem!And I felt really hurt when I saw what you guys said about him.Many pianist in the world respect him!So R YOU A SUBTLELY PIANIST?I just need to know that HES REALLY GREAT!
ABRSM, regardless of the country. The same syllabus from ABRSM is used in almost every country in the world - God knows what kind of pieces are on the diploma list for Vendetta5246's world where this is a grade 3 piece.
This nocturne begins so beautifully and then develops to such a strange middle section. With all my love for Chopin, I don't 'get' that section at all. Does anyone have any thoughts/opinions on this?
personally i love that section, the agiato section i think you mean. this section is very sad and i think it represents someon fighting with himself in his own thoughts. maybe something along the lines of "HAVE I DONE THE RIGHT THING??? NO IT WAS RIGHT!!!! NO IT CANT BE I WISH I CAN TAKE IT BACK!!! BUT NO ITS FOR THE BEST!!!?? NO YOU HURT HER AND YOU CANT TAKE IT BACK!! BUT THERE MUST BE A WAY OUT!!! WHAT DO I DO??? HOW DO I DO THIS" and ll these thoughts are going on the persons mind. t
Yes, I did mean the agitato section. Your analogy/story describes or rather tries to make sense of the music in a brilliant way. Thank you very much for that insight. I think I appreciate the piece a whole lot more now.
This is the video that makes me think why DTS deserve to be the winner. His playing is so musical that truly reflects Chopin's heart and soul. I think Pogo has got the technique but when it comes to great interpreters like this, the technique is not important anymore as they all mastered the songs and play them with ease.
Furthermore, music is about reaching and grabbing the heartstrings of people that can hear. If no one understands your music, if no one can feel what you feel when you play, then clearly you're missing something important. In 1980 the person who won was DTS. The Chopin competition is tough, and if they didn't think anyone was clearly the winner, they wouldn't have awarded #1 to anyone and instead only give #2. DTS won that year, enough said.
I agree that Ivo should have at least hit the final round, but DTS is indeed skilled, and only the blind would say he didn't deserve it. Martha was not the ONLY qualified judge that year, and the other TOP qualified judges thought DTS was better. Like many have said, music is subjective, and it was understandable that Martha felt insulted that someone with a very similar style to her was eliminated. She probably felt outdated and irrelevant because of the outright rejection of similar style.
@123Clean123 I agree with you that there were many qualified judges. Few people realize that Martha was opposed only to Pogorelich's elimination from the semi-final; she was not against any finalist (which she explicitly stated in a televised interview during the competition). In fact she sent Dang Thai Son a telegram of congratulations after he had won. People should do research, and appreciate that both Dang Thai Son and Ivo Pogorelich (Ivo, pehaps less so now) are great artists of merit.
Only 20 here?, and he plays this even with a lighter touch than Maria Tipo, one of the great names also. Looks perfectly calm, never know it was a competition.
Good performance. Dang Thai Son seems to have some understanding of the flowing nature of Chopin's music, although he sometimes lacks percussive emphasis.
oh pull the dildo out of your ass, please. i can't believe the nerve and pretention some people will aspire to thanks to the anonymity of youtube.
more interesting would be for you to actually make some music so we can see how earth-shattering it is compared to this, rather than you playing the lofty critic. anybody can do that.
SUCH a pleasurable honor, wasn't it? we all really pity you since it's highs like these which apparently make your day.
i'm not particularly moved by this performance either. but even in my few years i've developed a skill called control and respect. you can be ashamed of yourself: a 54 year old man desperate to free his anger and disappointment in really pathetic ways.
Votre jeunesse vous cache les enjeux culturels de la musique,aussi voyez l'opinion plus éclairée que la mienne de SarrasaniPianoCircus,qui laisse des vidéos où il joue d'ailleurs merveilleusement.
Vous avez raison,vieillir est toujours pathétique.
Man.. This guy is legendary in chopin music. Now he is also one of the judge for world pianist contest.I agreed with you some point Pogorelich is little better than him. But in general Dang is better. Dang is talented at 4 years old with piano and coached by many world famouse teacher in Russia, Poland.
at time, vietnam was unrated on the world pianist map. The only person training him at time was his mom. I dont think he had better training from people coming from much more developed countries ;)
Ivo also received very decent education, more decent education than that of Dang. Dang studied with his mom (during war time) until being discovered later to study at Moscow. While Ivo received formal training since he was 12 and later transferred to Moscow conservatory.
To me, one's success in a competition is subjective but can be used as a relative measurement of one's talent. Arguments on this subject are rather childish.
I like both of them,Ivo AND Dang.Both of them are genius.Ivo is more "agitated" and Dang is more "soft".I am sooo happy tha Maurizio Pollini won at 1960 and Martha Argerich at 1965 the chopin competition...just imagine Martha and Maurizio at the same year,same piano competition,that could be the most dificult decision for the jury and exactly that was the problem of Ivo and Dang,unfortunately!!Both of them are incredible,first class pianists and Chopinists
SarrasaniPianoCircus:Thank you for your response.I respect your opinion, I respect your way of view but I don't agree with you.Dang Thai Son's playing is also very poetic and very interesting.And if someone don't like him it has to do only with taste and not with his quality as an artist and as a pianist.
Ahaha, the truth? This is subjective, hence there is no "ultimate" truth. But good musicians see one thing, bad musicians see different things. That's all.
I think Maria Tipo own the best performance of this

J'ai eu tort de dire ce que je pensais,mais bon,j'ai eu l'honneur de votre insulte,alors tout n'est pas perdu.
Enjoy!

SUCH a pleasurable honor, wasn't it? we all really pity you since it's highs like these which apparently make your day.
i'm not particularly moved by this performance either. but even in my few years i've developed a skill called control and respect. you can be ashamed of yourself: a 54 year old man desperate to free his anger and disappointment in really pathetic ways.

Merci pour votre réponse.
Votre jeunesse vous cache les enjeux culturels de la musique,aussi voyez l'opinion plus éclairée que la mienne de SarrasaniPianoCircus,qui laisse des vidéos où il joue d'ailleurs merveilleusement.
Vous avez raison,vieillir est toujours pathétique.

Also in this nocturne (I heard recently from him) Pogorelich demonstrates to be at another level of musical poetry. No comparation, this
is industrial pianism, Ivo is a poet.

Dang Thai Son's freaking hands look like spiders because he has long fingers and they crawl up and down the keyboard. it looks cool

What brings you to making such a self-evaluation at youtube, theweasler?

You look at his fingers. Man, that is alien..cuz fingers longer than usual. No doubt about he is chopin winner after 70 years at 1980.

Man.. This guy is legendary in chopin music. Now he is also one of the judge for world pianist contest.I agreed with you some point Pogorelich is little better than him. But in general Dang is better. Dang is talented at 4 years old with piano and coached by many world famouse teacher in Russia, Poland.

He might be better trained, but he was not better than Pogorelich.
AngelinaTaylor 3 years ago
at time, vietnam was unrated on the world pianist map. The only person training him at time was his mom. I dont think he had better training from people coming from much more developed countries ;)

He studied in Tchaikovsky conservetoire. It was like 6 years before he won Chopin piano competition.

Ivo also received very decent education, more decent education than that of Dang. Dang studied with his mom (during war time) until being discovered later to study at Moscow. While Ivo received formal training since he was 12 and later transferred to Moscow conservatory.
To me, one's success in a competition is subjective but can be used as a relative measurement of one's talent. Arguments on this subject are rather childish.

Ivo and Dang were classmates 1980 and lived in the same dorm of Tchaikovsky conservatory.

Wrong, that is a idea of Martha, I think Dang Thai Son muce better

Pogo has the same style as Martha's, the reason why she made the scandal in that competition.

I like both of them,Ivo AND Dang.Both of them are genius.Ivo is more "agitated" and Dang is more "soft".I am sooo happy tha Maurizio Pollini won at 1960 and Martha Argerich at 1965 the chopin competition...just imagine Martha and Maurizio at the same year,same piano competition,that could be the most dificult decision for the jury and exactly that was the problem of Ivo and Dang,unfortunately!!Both of them are incredible,first class pianists and Chopinists

IMHO the evidence is that Pogorelich is 100
times more interesting and poetic than this
pianist. The competitions system is industry,
having not in common with art.
SarrasaniPianoCircus 3 years ago
SarrasaniPianoCircus:Thank you for your response.I respect your opinion, I respect your way of view but I don't agree with you.Dang Thai Son's playing is also very poetic and very interesting.And if someone don't like him it has to do only with taste and not with his quality as an artist and as a pianist.

In that competition the (ridicolous) jury had
no problems: Ivo cut off without doubt.
But this is only an example of how many competitions are unuseful or dangerous for music. Good to build an average, industrial
mainstream taste, a poison for freedom and
poetry. No one (a part, partially, Bunin) of
the Chopin competition winners (some imbarassing names....) is among my favourite
pianists. Industry, advertising triumph of mainstream taste, mafia....art is otherwhere
other in competition

Ahaha, the truth? This is subjective, hence there is no "ultimate" truth. But good musicians see one thing, bad musicians see different things. That's all.
