  • Beautiful, extraordinary playing, it's always a revelation to hear Benno perform :-))

  • my sister used to play this after she graduated from the sydney conservatorium ! !

    takes me back to the good old days

  • WONDERFUL. This is the kind of stupendous piano playing and marvelous music making that only a realy great  master could provide. Congratulations for posting this!!!

  • Love this song, and hopefully can learn it when i start piano, here hoping.

  • BTW, you know that's Tanya Moiseiwitsch (his daughter) and the guy is Benjamin Britten?

  • ive never listened to classical music and i searched for this piece because it was played on an episode of lost. but this is one of the most beautiful things ive ever heard!

  • You should also listen to his etudes - the named ones are easy to like, I think.

  • Godowsky and Cziffra or not this is a fantastic post.  Thank you!

  • I can't quite decide which version I prefer; this, Godowsky or Cziffra. I think probably Cziffra, you really feel he OWNS the piece when he plays it and he really stamps his own personality on it.

    Regardless, all three are in a completely different league to any contemporary recording I've found (until my sister gets round to uploading her version).

  • @Tr33fiddy

    Jung Lin owns the piece!

  • @lilytoka murray perahia...

  • A favourite Chopin piece of mine, I can never get tire listening to this piece! Thanks for posting this up!

  • Sinfoniette - oh what a thoughtful reply! - it was just one of those - "you cannot depend on others days" ( you never can!) - but it all blew away in 4:42 - thanks once again - 5* and a fav. by the way...

  • Thank you for posting this...beautiful...helped calm a crap day...

  • Life IS a mistake without music! Hope you have a better day tomorrow.

  • Beautiful sound, wonderful expressions...

    What an atmosphere!

    A delight!

  • Great interpretation by Moiseiwitsch. (Though my favorite is Godowsky's)
