@emilyhutjes This was the last piece I learned to play as well. I had to teach myself because my piano teacher didn't think I was old enough to be able to play Chopin correctly. So I spent my last days practicing this piece until it was perfect. Then when my teacher noticed I had not been practicing my last weeks pieces, she asked what it was I was doing. I played this for her and she told me she couldn't have played it any better and apologized for not teaching me herself.

@Superhappyperson4445 same. When I first heard it, I actually cried because of the emotion he out into this piece. (embarrassing moment cuz i'm a guy. lol) =)
Thank you, Casper, for your very informed response. You are obviously far more knowledgeable than I about pianists currently performing. My era was Rubenstein, and Horowitz and Barrenboim, and Richter. I did hear LangLang in concert recently. That was a real treat. Again, thank you for the new information. Katherine
Finally, some one who plays what Chopin actually wrote, rather than changing the tempo around to suit themselves. The result is that this relatively less knows pianist gives a far superior performance then his far better knows contemporaries. This was a pure pleasure to listen to.
@drkathyday Ivo Pogorelich is not "a relatively less known pianist*, in fact he's one of the more famous one. Of course if a piano player plays too dramatic with volume and tempo, the piece will become (mostly) dredgy and boring, but "playing like a machine" wont do it either. In fact if you listen carefully you will notice that it isn't always as regular as a metronome.
Anyway, great pianist Ivo Pogorelich! His set of preludes, which I got on CD, is spot on (apart from number 15).

This interpretation is gifted with insight...the dynamics and tempo carry such a powerful sound of finality.

Outstanding integrity and understanding. Even Kissin and LangLang doesn't much Pogorelich interpretation.

this is the best interpretation, I love it!!! the 1º place to Ivo Pogorelich and the 2º place to Richter, the humble opinion of a Chopin's lover.
