Vladimir Sofronitsky plays Chopin Waltzes

[themindandmusic]

Does anyone else hear a little bit of Vadim Kozin here?

This playing is pure poetry.....

Qu'est-ce qu'on y'a pas fait a chopin ! Vous imaginez : 200 ans de piano les plus sordides !

[morinoroba]

Bravo！！Thank you.

[solosteven37]

Thank you for sharing these wonderful recordings. Just wondering, is there any film out there of Sofronitsky playing live? There seems to be plenty of Richter,

[truecrypt]

I hope there is some footage, but I've never seen any... It would be so great actually to see Sofronitsky playing!

as a pianist familiar with a large part of the literature -- and having worked with singers , opera and lieder, etc - i am so pleased to hear a pianist that actually makes me CRY from his playing the way great singers have. heplays the chopin as if a singer does from DEEP inside their gut and breathing...what a GIFT Sofronitsky was!!! THANK YOU TRUECRYPT for sharing.

Sofronitsky was one of the rare pianists that played LIKE a SINGER. not in "imitation of" singers -- but as someone who actually understood how a singer would breathe, how much time they need to take breathe, how LONG they can sustain when they have to use up air between intense strong notes and soft, concentrated soft ones..how a good singer "lifts" notes or climbs from low to high..how to fill the space between large intervals and from small close intervals..HE was a TRUE singer at the piano.

Loved it,so natural and so relaxed!

[pjioayncoe]

very special playing...Sofronitsky brings you into the inner world and lets you see the beautiful soul...after it's over, you'll not want to come out and you'll always long to return...

[antoinezygfryd]

Dès les toutes premières notes on sait qu'un vrai pianiste est là!

Mais son interprétation me déçoit.

On dirait...qu'il n'est pas dans son assiette,je veux dire,qu'il semble en dehors de lui-même,étranger à ce qu'il fait.

Et puis c'est ennuyeux! Bon sang! où est Sofronizki???

[antoinezygfryd]

Quelle différence avec la Barcarolle et la Fantaisie!!!

[nolintik]

il est avec moi, dans mon lit.

[elboim38]

[paulostroff99]

Stunning! Bravo! TY.

[GetMeThere1]

A pleasure!

[smithsherman]

From the start he has that fabulous quality of So much pianism of Chopin's era & so little today,that of structure unfolding

without certainty)

[smithsherman]

After listening again...This is exactly how imagine John Field to play...agocically interestingly but a lazy dreamy affect.

[ChatlaninUef]

Bolvan, chto tut podelaesh'. Ushami obzavedis'.

[elboim38]

i'd like to translate it for

smithsherman but i cannot:(... but briefly it was a gentle proposal to purchase a couple of bit better ears for himself(:
