Chopin 24 Etudes LIVE CONCERT Op.25 No.1 Joel Hastings

[Dgoosh1000]

You can really tell who has mastered these peices and who just reads the sheet of paper with the notes on them.

[MrPianogeek]

I commend your playing, however for my taste you could have spoken more through the heart directly out to the audience instead of keeping a reserved "cool" approach, but that style works for you splendidly

[TheCanadianEuro]

Absolutely beautiful <3

[isuldur6]

Better than Lang Lang's by a mile! Utterly magnificent...

[stormshelther]

This is the most beautiful, easy flowing and soft interpretation with emotion I have heard.

[mylovelylittleone]

I like your simple, direct playing. So many on YT seem to apply sudden rushing and short-term tempo fluctuations that lose sight of the melodic continuity and song-like writing of Chopin. Your placid approach is exemplary.

[egalitarianist]

This piece lends itself to a variety of attractive and/or interesting interpretations, but even allowing for differing tastes, I can't see how anyone can justify rating this less than five stars. I've heard one or two other interpretations and performances I like as well - but none better. Simply wonderful.

Wonderful performance!!! Mr.Hastings, I think your live rendition from Chopin Etudes could be compared with Arrau´s recording. I´m musician, I´m from Spain, and many people from here wants you to visit our country and play in some recitals. Greetings!!!

[AmericanAstronaut]

Excellent! One of the best renditions I can find on here. Truly, fantastic job! You have an excellent touch, give proper weight to the melody, execute the dynamics well and with the subtlety required by the music of Chopin, and play at the proper tempo, varying it only where appropriate. Wonderful!

[hutteldorfh]

Agreed!

[Bognarfan]

Gorgeous...beautifully played.

[M13MusicNut]

beautiful! It's one of my favorites now!
