Chopin: Nocturne No.20 cis-moll Op.posth

[MetalFuruude]

I just cannot describe this piece....

[Shiftingfly]

Nectar from the gods

[zabrincitaz]

asian people are genius

[marushkamkt]

Sorry, great technique but I think thats not enough for Chopin's compositions..

[netoretor]

y tanto que solo!

[Madman2001madman]

Not soft enough. I think the surroundings are adding to the hardness of the sound.

[sango327]

I like your performance.

[Onyak0]

Best ive ever heard :D wonderful

[YummiMango1]

may the piano force be with you always



[corner559]

I love this piece, but this is not played at all the way it should be. It almost sounds shrill. He doesn't even use the dampening pedal!

[nichii492]

fantastic!



[TheJCJexe]

Wow grandpa still got it....

[PtitBB11]

Pas fan de classique mais jaime =)

[chiehwenwang]

Good Japanese music, but not Chopinian enough?

[willyjules]

Ce son de malade !! Encore un piano steinway à 80 000 euros !

[Jodino]

Very good performance!

[Pdbddhk]

Got to know this piece from the Star Trek Voyager Episode where Seven of Nine plays it. Wonderful!

[JusticierodelYuTube]

yundi Li is better

[SDTrueStar]

My teacher has introduced me to this piece, and I love it. ( PERIOD! )

[williwinzigmann]

At the beginning is a wrong note.

[madeirawanderer]

@williwinzigmann And if you were right why did you post this???

[kikixatzialeksandrou]

I listen and listen and listen this play..Its insane how one "sound", could make you feel so in love with everything

[popotann0421]

大好きな曲です。著名な方の演奏いろいろ聴きましたが、長井さん­の演奏が一番響きます。　当方まったくの素人で言葉では上手く説明できませんが、「琴線に­触れる」という感覚ってこういう事なんですねｗ　うｐありがとうごうございます。

[zooluwarrior]

@popotann0421

I agree.

[Franciscanplaypiano]

I've been learning this piece for four days and I have fell in love with it.

[NLR884evr]

Rubinstein was better. Asians, especially Japanese are incapable of sincere expression of emotion. And for those you who believe that this is the standard then you have my condolences.

[kurtccy]

@NLR884evr Asians' pigs. Only Rubinstein 's musician . And you're the god . Happy ?

[NLR884evr]

@kurtccy Your grammar is terrible.

[kurtccy]

@NLR884evr So? Will i die ? Can u play as good as him with perfect grammer ?

[broadwood1830]

the very very standard.

the trills are good. expression is the right like an arpeggio to the left a little bit later.

what is missing is the deeply emotional face of the interpret.

nobody on earth can play this fast and piano scale in the finish, this was chopin, he did.

[angriffeins]

It is such a pleasure to hear him play. Arigato gozaimasu.

[certificateofelectin]

man i bet the acoustics in that room are awesome

[skiermeier]

wonderful...............

[YIA007S]

とても勉強になります。動画を投稿してくださってありがとうござ­います。

音が体に溶け込んでいくような気がします。

[knoxman1990]

Just beautifully played. You can hear and feel your 70 years of life experience which compliments this piece perfectly! Your playing of this has inspired me to also start playing again. Thank you Mr Nagai!

[Matticitt]

Oh...... that's amazing. Best interpretation on YouTube I guess. Just amazing.

[edwardcullenvampire]

just perfect :)

[marcelgabber88]

深みと哀愁があっていいなあ。

[06tomoko30]

It is wonderful. It is healed. Thank you.

[t16bcry]

BRAVISIMO... EXCELLENT performance. One of the BEST Chopin peaces

[BlackThoven]

Incredible!

I'm undecided when it comes to my favorite piece by Chopin, but I'm pretty certain it's this one, and this was outstanding!

[FelixD1991]

Today it's Chopin's 200th Birthday. It's brilliant

[shaddowrouge]

[thessalonica09]

[bubylugo88]

[Louiseburchell1]

[angriffeins]

I want to adopt him as my grandfather. lol. Except we're the same age almost.

[sysonpyh]

funny:D

[udon890]

I never met my grandfather, he abandoned us when my grandma was young. So I want to adopt him as my grand pa so he can teach me how to play piano.

[TheLovelyPiano]

angriffeins, that is sooo cute. lol I bet you are an adorable grand parent. I love you already. lol

[angriffeins]

Please! I'm not a grandparent yet!

[AmazonWomanShampoo]

There's so much emotion played in this, so much... I love it.

[Dwight301189]

speachless

[malwida]

[Uik08]

[frasquillaa]

La verdad que la toca muy bien.Este es uno de los mejores nocturnos de Chopin junto con nocturno Op.9 Nº2

[ClairaGEagleHawk]

Beautiful player and beautiful piano. Wow looked for years for a piano like that and I still can't play as beautiful as him

Thanks for the download I love it.

[paopaomanalansan]

This nocturne by Chopin doesn't have any opus number. And the posth (posthumous) means that the piece was published after Chopin died. Therefore, no number was assigned by Chopin for the piece, as he would to his pieces when he was still alive. LOL

[JapaniseFan01]

really nice ipiece i love Chopin´s pieces *-*

and it´s really nicely played

[PyroSoft2]

This is Nocturne cis-moll No. 1 op.27, mistake?

[JapaniseFan01]

i think its 27 too ..hmm could be a mistake don´t know

[atemlos2585]

no you are mistaken,it's op 20 in c-sharp minor posthumous

[JapaniseFan01]

hmm ok thank you very much ^^

[phoranea]

Mr. Nagai is an amazing, talented pianist...! I love the way he plays this piece and Fur Elise by Beethoven, he's great!

Bravissimo!

[harlan33401]

Excellent!

[Krzysiaczekmisiaczek]

It's a shame, Lavigne or Aguilera has more views than classical Chopin.. shame.

Mr. Mitsuru NAGAI was born in Osaka in 1934. He studied piano at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music. After his graduation, he taught piano at the Musashino Academia Musicae for 33 years. In 1994, he ended his music career to dedicate his life to church activities. After silence of more than 30 years, he once again started playing the piano. The performance of the old piano man reveals the genuine aspect of each masterpiece. His performance and music comfort our souls.
