Yeol Eum Son - Chopin Etude op.25 no.1

[NMPLage]

Maravilhosa interpretação !!!!!!!!!!!

[680stp]

my go-to-girl for all things piano/pianistic. IMO she's great!!!!!  Just about my favorite

pianist!

[march181959]

So nice....just so nice...that's all I can say....words escape me

[greteduc]

Fantastic touch - the very best I have ever heard!

[alejandrothefader]

good interpretation, but she could learn many a thing from rubinstein.... too loud left hand and to plain.... not really "sung"... i like her turbulent interpretations of chopin more... like the op 25 no 11 (winterwind) one

[johnmar78]

my god, the sky is falling down,,very nice playing ..greetings from Australia...

[odriban]

Demasiado pedal, confunde los sonidos, no destaca notas que arman una hermosa melodía,

[pianistamx77]

@odriban Como dicen la ignorancia es atrevida...

[fisherroastedpeanut]

beautiful interpretation but she missed a line at the end.

[kinkajoes]

so delicate and soft, just beautiful hands down, this in one of the best performances

[RemovdSande11]

she plays it well, but devine. The best version I ever heard of the etude is Cziffra, he plays with such own style, such feriousity, such devine musicality.

[yyu423]

I agree with dc - this really is the best version I've ever heard.

[camaysar222]

What can one say? Just beautiful!

[mindovermattjr]

What a gem. The etudes are spectacular. This one is so uplifting and beautiful.

[BecuzIt]

Is that a steinway

[hachoi23]

Yes it is. A Steinway model D concert grand built in Hamburg.

[steveaulie]

She is a goddess.

[RainyTaro]

So beautiful performance.

it makes me want to cry.

[dc10546]

The very best version I have ever heard. She has everything, tempo, rubato, dynamics, feeling, just a wonderful interpreter of Chopins music. I think if he'd been around today he might have said 'sorry George', I'm off with Yeol to Majorca for a couple of months, see you next time in the bar in Valldemossa.

[dc10546]

anybody know if this lady is giving any UK recitals?.

[modelstatue]

Was this concert actually a formal concert? Where was it?

[yossiguns]

it was in Tel Aviv Israel on the march 30th 2005

[dc10546]

Fabulous interpretation. I like the way she brings out the 'inner' voices below the main melody of this etude. musical magic and she is good , very very good. Hope to remain a fan for a long time.

[march181959]

This was very nice. Eyes closed or not, I feel that it was performed par excellence.

[Oliiiverr]

you have to listen to the piece of music instead of watching it then you'll see how much feeling there really is.

[shmineral]

who can  got the 歌譜

[RockonRoll92]

great!!!Amazing interpretation

[scratch8d]

wow

wow

wow i actually found a good version

i really liked that interpretation 2nd to rubinstein alone and i completely disagree with those people saying you lack feeling maybe they are just to insensitive to hear it

[paulturtle92]

a lot less swaying and a HUGE lot more feeling in this piece would be nice.

[dawidmysle]

I like how she brings out the hidden melodies though, really clear, really focused, the melody really singing... I think it was amazing! What a beautiful piece of music!!!!

[TTakach999]

@dawidmysle totally agree i dont hear the countermelody in the middle section any many other recordings also very fluid and even, like Chopin wanted

[jcryfiak]

nicolekatri, your a bitch

[NicoleKatri19]

... and YOU'VE never heard good Chopin. Try Stanislav Bunin (on YouTube), winner of the '85 Chopin competition. His Chopin is full of life, joy and spirit.

[NicoleKatri19]

It's too bad this miss has to sway around and look in every direction to get the music out. In all her Op. 25 Chopin etudes it's the same. Very off-putting and distracting to look at. I'm not all that impressed with her Chopin, either, even though she is acclaimed for it. She's too soft and jellylike with it -- no spirit, no excitement whatsoever!

[RoyalLollipop]

I completely disagree with you.

[NicoleKatri19]

I'm sorry, but she looks like a complete spastic. I can't stand to watch her and I don't like her sound (as I've already made clear). It's a waste of time. She has no feeling for Chopin. She can play the notes, but that's just about it.

[scratch8d]

u should be sorry that was a completely uncalled for comment which i hapen to disagree with totally

[Rookdmc]

agreed swaying is choreographed

[rago1962]

She has the right feeling for this masterpiece of the classic piano. Beside the interpretation of Maurizio Pollini this is my favourite!

[gianpaga11]

Grandi emozioni. Magnifico!

Grazie!

[jcryfiak]

Sooooo beautiful

[EdiEllerymissing]

She plays this very well!!!

[iluvgreenday01]

wow thats good!

[HaddonLane]

I've listened to many videos of this. Expression in Chopin must be keyed just right. She's unmatched..

[andyng85]

Why do some pianists always forget to play the correct amount of the A flat Arpeggios in the end!?!?!?!?!?

[crazycrazycrazy1]

a little too rhythmical in my opinion, but still extremely beautiful. you can definitely tell how talented she is!

[d1040i300]

Yeol Eum Son is excellent, the best in this Etude Chopin. She is very expressive, exact and sentimental.

[Balkyzag]

Chopins etudes are unmatched. Very good interpreted

[BadTemperedPiano]

you are a great pianist.
