I think the versions by Rubinstein and Ashkenazy are better which doen't change the fact that Jewish players understands Chopin like no one else in the world
La primera sección tiene para mí un carácter marcadamente melancólico, pero este intérprete no me transmite suficiente melancolía. Se ve que es difícil expresar este sentimiento. En los pasajes más rápidos de la pieza, Tzvi Erez me transmite mejor el carácter.
This piece. It is like a piece of my soul. I cry when I listen to it, but I don't mind. It speaks to the darkest, saddest piece of me, the part we all try to hide from each other...
This incredible work of art... I will have this played on my funeral.
It is hard for me to express the gratitude I feel towards both the great composer Chopin himself as well as Tvzi Erez.
It's amazing how beautifully he plays but how mechanical and not at all artistic his hands move. Huge props for this; this is awe-worthy. Also, I gotta say the info at the bottom was a nice touch. I love this song! I always love Chopin!
Well, really decent. Needs more artistic approach and expressionism though. Why not try to murmur with the right hand? Add a little rubato. You are on the way to be great! I wish you success!
I'm sorry but this interpretation is so boring. It's not very romantic at all! It's just plain, technically he's got it nailed but it's cold, there's no feeling or emotion in this. Listen to Jorge Bolet's version, that's a real romantic performance. This piece has so much more, it's a fantastic piece and this performance just does not do it justice.....
I really enjoy Bolet's performance as well, and I hadn't even heard of him until I stumbled upon the video. It's already my favorite interpretation of this piece.
@Bullock1991 your a dumbass. The problem is you. You have such a narrow appreciation for music and try to inflict it upon others. This piece is amazing and beautiful because of its dimensions. And, if you know Chopin so well, you would know that he didn't like for his pieces to stray far from the original with effusive or over enthusiastic interpretations.
@Bullock1991 i find nothing romantic in any interpretation, i feel lots of pain in this song.. sadness, no romance. and im sorry but who the hell are you guys to say Tzvi Erez plays this boring.. keep it for yourself. everybody '' it in their way
@AllEyezOnDenIli This piece was written in the romantic era you pillock, for that reason alone, romantic interpretations exist. There is no emotion coming from his performance here, the only reason it sounds sad is because it's in a minor key, it's not traditionally romantic at all. You can think what you like but to claim you find nothing romantic in any interpretation is absolutely rediculous. Listen to Bolet's version and you'll understand exactly what I mean.
@AllEyezOnDenIli Don't like this piece?? I performed and studied this piece for my A level. Not only Did I study this piece, I studied different performances of this piece and this was one the performances used. Also, I can say what i bloody well want without having people like you try and speak down to me as if I don't have a clue what I'm talking about.
Excellent interpretation!! Makes the most 'sense' of any on the 'Tube' so far.
The hall accoustic is just a tad too reverberant here, giving the impression of too much sustain and 'cloudiness', but the piano balance overall is exquisite.
I heard this played on the back of a vegetable wagon in Ukraine in 1970 when a portable piano concert was traveling about the vicinity of Lviv. It was a pretty good performance. The rubato and the dynamics suffered a bit, particularly when the mule was a bit restless. I did manage to grab some awsome radishes however. Ahh for the old days! You just never see that kind of thing in the states.
Y uno es Chopin y el otro es Beethoven. Son 2 cosas diferentes. Hay que superarlo? Los 2 son maravillosos. Chopin es el poeta del piano y Beethoven es un genio de la composicion de todos los instrumentos.
I believe calling him a french composer is more of an imprecision than a mistake, allthough he was Polish, and only Polish (not half french) he lived most of his life in France (for the reasons cited above) as a frenchman and in french culture. One has to admit that surely that affected his compositions, his humor, and his character, so one could say he was a french composer in that aspect....
nice playing......i have been comparing this tunes with various artists lately because I am playing it in a month for a recital....you ending is very good......i wonder have you heard rubensteins version of this yet......i swear nobody plays like that guy......his phrasing is just so different from everyone i hear play this tune
I've been humming this song for twelve years, not knowing what this song was called... I knew it was Chopin, but he has an endless line of beautiful songs.. And finally I found it. :-) You play this beautifully! :-)
It's because he couldn't return to poland due the take over by russia. He had a desire to return to poland, as he wrote it in his letters and even some pieces.
Therefore it's wrong to say he was "half french". Better: He was Polish, but lived in France.
next the B section with the arpgieos are played well. however i would like to hear the second voice from 3:18-19,and in the other part. what i mean is that you should show the " Ab G,f" and " Db,C,Bb" next,the molto legato and stretto section is played excelent. i like how you started off slow and slowly worked your way up in tempo and the melody in the MF arpigoes are herd. All in all great exectution of the piece Tzvi! i also like the one were you play the the violens,and cellos. =]
honostly, i like this piece the way you play it. i play this piece to. but you have many pros and cons. The cons are that in the ternary form of A, you are very strict with your rythem. Just like a metronome. i would liked to hear more rubato, but other than that its good. next, in the piu mosso section, i would of liked to hear more volume being that the dynamics change from a quiet piano to a sudden fortissomo, or forte. depending on your edition.
The first few times reading through the music, I wasn't too convinced I wanted to play this. This video has completely changed my mind about this piece. Thanks! :)
I dont know much about music, or piano for that matter. Im 19 years old and am more into cars, heavy metal and burning rubber.... But recently I stumbled across Chopin nocturne's and there was something very special about it. In my oppinion this is a very good version. Ive heard a lot of different versions on youtube and they seem to fast. This one is played brilliantly. Very much like my fav version played by Rubinstein.
As an avid fan of Chopin's music, you are right! There has always been something very special about Chopin's music. His nocturnes have been the most moving pieces I have ever heard!
Mr. Tzvi Erez does a PHENOMENAL job of performing Chopin's various works! A brilliant pianist!

Yes he did feel he was Polish at heart. What I meant by my comment was that even though he felt this way, by blood he is still French and Polish. I'm sorry but it just bugs me when people say he was one or the other. Hope you understand what I mean.
This is a very good interpretation of the nocturne. However I agree with aniri666's comment about softness. I think Jorg Bolet plays it to absolute perfection.
i have finally learned this piece about a month ago. i love this piece so much. i have spoiled it a bit. i beleive its called "overplaying" the piece. not the whole piece but just the ending i have overplayed and now i cant get it strait, so i have to learn it over again =(
I like the history at the bottom of the screen, it makes me feel closer to the composer, the greatest Polish composer, maybe even the greatest composer for the piano who has ever lived.
Il y a d'autres versions bonnes, mais probablement celle-ci est la meilleure parce-que Tzvi a un echo romantique tres personnel et tres proche de celui du Chopin
I'm having a fiendishly difficult time with the part beginning at 3:15. I consistently screw it up and I've been practicing this piece for months now because of it.
He plays well. But in my opinion, he should give some rubato and ritenuto in some part of this piece to create a dreamy and intimate mood like a nocturne should.
I prefer Bolet's interpretation of this nocturne. But he is well,indeed.
I'm totally agree with you, in fact, I was to say the same opinion :) This performance doesn't rubatos, ritenutos, rallentandos neither. Chopin is not Mozart, I mean the interpretation ways. Atleast, good pianist ;) CHOPIN LIVES!
this way of playing it is heaps subtle tho. it's so emotive because it's withheld and controlled. Chopin liked control in his pieces. too many people put in too much freedom and pull his pieces apart.
Thank you for this. Check out Bolet playing this same Nocturne. Something to aspire to. The more you play this piece the more you'll bring to it. And the more it will give you. Don't listen to critics who cannot also encourage you.
The above comment shouldn't be spam. He said: "Mechanical, soulless, military, childish. Absolute in contrary of the essence of this Nocturne."
What that means, is that this Nocturne is abosolutly NOT mechanical, souless, military, and childish. He meant that it was beautiful. Contrary means the OPPOSITE of the essence of this Nocturne. This is a grammatical masterpiece of the English Language and excellently praises this piano piece, which I also enjoyed.
nah i think S4Ud4De meant the playing was mechanica, soul less, military, and childish, and thereore it is absolutely oppossite to the eence of this nocturne.
Mechanial, soulless..etc was in ONE sentence..that was a complete thought..meaning he was applying it to the piece of music. Another thought was that the song was in absolute contradiction to the essence of a noctourne. It is not a grammatical masterpiece..
This was so wonderful and I really enjoyed seeing the notes played! I was just wondering about the fact that Chopin autographed this in E minor for Jane, and I see many people playing it in F minor. Am I missing something? I'm new to all this piano playing stuff :) Thanks!!!

Thank you for this. Check out Bolet playing this same Nocturne. Something to aspire to. The more you play this piece the more you'll bring to it. And the more it will give you. Don't listen to critics who cannot also encourage you.

Mechanical, soul less, military, childish. Absolut in contrary of the essence of this Nocturne.

The above comment shouldn't be spam. He said: "Mechanical, soulless, military, childish. Absolute in contrary of the essence of this Nocturne."
What that means, is that this Nocturne is abosolutly NOT mechanical, souless, military, and childish. He meant that it was beautiful. Contrary means the OPPOSITE of the essence of this Nocturne. This is a grammatical masterpiece of the English Language and excellently praises this piano piece, which I also enjoyed.

Mechanial, soulless..etc was in ONE sentence..that was a complete thought..meaning he was applying it to the piece of music. Another thought was that the song was in absolute contradiction to the essence of a noctourne. It is not a grammatical masterpiece..

This was so wonderful and I really enjoyed seeing the notes played! I was just wondering about the fact that Chopin autographed this in E minor for Jane, and I see many people playing it in F minor. Am I missing something? I'm new to all this piano playing stuff :) Thanks!!!

Well it was played nicely but it lacks emotion in how you play it. It sounds a bit "stiff"
