Opinión aventurada, la de Trendyy; a menos que haya presenciado en persona un concierto desde el mismo creador. Por lo demás, la excelencia requiere de disciplinas separadas.
Quite similar to Zimerman's 1979 interp, and brilliant execution. However, Blechacz, as with almost ANY performer nowadays forgets that this mvt is still in Sonata form, and for the sake of unity, there must be a consistent underlying beat (with some rubato, ofc) and large tempo contrasts between themes minimised. This is what largely makes Rubinstein and Gilels UNTOUCHABLE in this movement.
Chopin, why didn't you write more piano concertos. I wish God give the master 10 more years and many great pieces would be written and played. It's a pity that it can't happen.
@apluspianist It's a pity it can't happen to not only the talented, but to all of us. Maybe someday we will start to live longer with technology and research into DNA, and other agents of aging like mitrochondria, tellomeres etc.
@apluspianist think god say to himself "hmmm, think i giving the world bit 2much and think i might start taking up piano lessons for myself aswell learn to compose like:)" if only 10 or just even 5 or 3 more years... imagine wat amazing pieces wouldve come out from him!
@apluspianist From what I understand, Chopin did not like writing piano concertos. He did not like big audiences. Chopin's piano concertos are beautiful and they stand out, Do you know why? Because he wrote in a rare form, he stayed away from the Beethoven style of concerto where the orchestra and piano bounce back and forth and instead wrote the for piano and orchestra to play almost simultaneously. His chord structure is strange too.
@daytonmlivingston 'His chord structure is strange too' < Could you tell me more about it please? The only thing that i know is his chord structures are based on chromatic harmony progression, which it has been used a lot by Chopin himself and Mendelsohn.
Yes, SIr Nocte. I know now. There is no shame in not nowing something. One can always ask. There are so many things we don´t know .... Perhaps you already know everything.....
What I do regret is Blechacz beis Polish. There is no honour in that. Pitiful
@zzhhaannggddii It is a concerto, so therefore there has to be an orchestral accompaniment. However, in the competition, the orchestra is not being assessed, only the pianist.
@skill77370 , I'm not so sure that even Chopin is as good a pianist interpreter of his own music as one may expect. It is said that when Chopin heard Liszt play the Chopin's music, Chopin remarked that Liszt played even better than he had imagined it to be. But on another note, Chopin has a fertile imagination too.....he said he had only wrote down in paper only 5% of his own musical ideas.
@freeqwerqwer , Liszt flattered Chopin by playing his music therefore Chopin was momentarily overenthusiastic. Remember Chopin dedicated his E-minor Concerto to F. Kalkbrenner. Why? In order to choke his envy. K . never played the E-minor Concerto even though dedicated to him.. Besides, George Sand later wrote that she was pity for those who got great compliments from Chopin as, when discovering flaws, the disappointed Chopin changed his mind and made hardest critics against them...
@skill77370 , you hit the point. Many can play the Grieg, Rachmaninoff or Tchaikovsky Concertos flawless and wonderfully. But when we talk about Chopin's, things change radically. Some pianists make poetry but they lack force and passion where required, others have the force but they lack other sides...Regarding Chopin, every great pianist lacks something...I also believe that Chopin's best interpreter was only Chopin himself. Nobody ever played it the way he would have. Nor the great Lipatti.
It's nice to know that skinny people can play the piano too. I've heard other teachers say that most pianists are short and muscular. Not the case in Rafal Blechacz's case. And he is awsome! I'm skinny, so it gives me hope that maybe I can play at least a few songs well. Hee, Hee, Joy and delight and rapture!
Just reading all the comments; irrespective of the emotion behind it. Try to understand he was 20 when he played there. There is a border line between playing and understanding music. He is sensational. Try to compare note by note to other winners. Good luck
no entiendo que cada movimiento de cada concierto se corta , y no se puede oir hasta finalizar cada uno por favor , oir cada obra , o movimiento hasta que termine
@MaLillyBoogan Are you mad? This guy is the winner of the most prestigious piano competition in the world. He won First price and the four other prices! He's one of the top-pianists op our time and you say he doesn't have any emotion in his play? You've got to see some mazurka's, waltzes and the third Sonata he plays.. jeezzz this guy is amazing, you must be kiddin' right?
no feeling at all, very mechanical like a robot and no human nor emotional ingredient to it..... awful!!! Just like a machine playing some pre-coded motons to make note sounds....... unsatisfactory.....
@Haddejan "No emotion" is the standard last-resort play by people who can't find anything else to criticize, so their fall back is something vague and stupid that five year-olds can say. So that means he couldn't find anything substantial to say.
@MaLillyBoogan "unsatisfactory"?.you are a typical examble of a greedy being with mixed emotions of jealousy,secret self dissapointement for not being able to understand why you are not the only person aware of true,emotional music,enormous egoism and self-deceiving thoughts.relax..i'm just being you in another way:if you re a music expert them i'm a psychologist.take some mdma to soften your ego :p
@MaLillyBoogan It's very, very sad to see how some ignorant people criticise this genius. His finger work is amazing, everything he plays is perfectly controlled. His musicality is exceptional, you don't know how hard is to play this concerto well, and every note he plays has music in it... He is phenomenal, amazing. He deserved 100% the first prize. HE WAS THE BEST!!!
I adore both Chopin concertoes and Blechacz truly feels it, i am so glad he won this competition, he really deseved it. He puts into this concerto both the melancholy and passion which I think are so true to Chopin. Oh, in a itle you might be a good idea to separate the Pianoconcerto into two words, piano Concerto, will be easier to find i search.
I don't know he really deserves 1st prize . I want to hear more flawless , clear tone , and Chopin's beauty . He's playing is not that brilliant and dazzling. But I would say its rather really basic and high quality .
Chopin himself never wanted to dazzle. In his letter from Berlin The journalists have taken fancy to me but all the same it is being said that I played too softly or rather too delicately, for people here are used to the piano pounding. I expect to find this reproach in the paper especially as the editors daughter pounds frightfully! It doesnt matter; I should rather prefer that people say I played too soft then that I played too loud.he writes:
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Well It doesn't depend on how soft or loud , Thats not what I meant . dazzling doesn't require loud or pounding also . I think at least Rafal doesn't have delicacy either , I can't agree with his rubato , it just doesn't help but slows tempo . Sounds like Beethoven would be more suitable for him .
@Dennischek I think you don t really hear what he s doing,this is how Chopin should sound. Finally a pianist who doesn t want to show how fast he can play...we don t run a 100 m when playin Chopin
@StarWarsVids1: Chopin can amaze and dazzle as well as speak with incredible poetic depth - as much of his music does. It depends on who is playing it.
Chopin's music spans the gamut of human emotion. This is why he is the quintessential piano composer.
Liszt is technical and sometimes superficial . I know what you mean but you didnt get what I meant . HA. and you don't realize he's actually playing quiet fast ? it doesn't sounds that fast but actually it's fast enough. I know what classical music is . maybe far more than you guys . Don't try to reply again please. I'm just one of person in the world and everyone shouldn't agree with this guy's performance.
Beautiful! I love Rafal and I thank God that he is a real gift for the music of our times, and also that he is so young because that means that I'll enjoy his music for all my life!!!
rafael es un grandisimo pianista sin duda alguna esta al nivel de los grandes pianistas que han surjido a traves de esta decada exelente concierto de chopin muy bueno desde venezuela engelbert
That you makes even more stupid, I am not Polish, but if i would, don´t you think than i should to understand better chopin music? I am sure you are one of that people who think than if play fast they think that they play well, are different virtuosities, cheap, in which simply headresses to screen, and this virtuosity, the one of quality, in which beams MUSIC, pity that the world is so full of ignorant people as you are
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Hey stinky bitch, have you heard Martha Argerich's recording of this concerto? She played it super-fast and the effect was exhilerating and exciting! But then you are obviously an ignorant bastard so you wouldn't know. Just hide in your filthy cave and drop dead, will you?
in fact, martha argerich version is one of my favourite, but do you even know why matha plays this fast? is because she is terrified to play slow, of course, she is a genuis, she can play really fast, and i think blechacz too, if everybody play like martha, why we want more pianist? i told you before, read some books, you need to understand than the music is not drabness, and the most important is the MUSIC!!!!
not the fast playing, or the show, or play FORTISSIMO, the dynamics, the phrase, the cantabile, i think is the important, and martha and blechacz makes a very beautiful music, you really need have culture, a good musical education. Get out from your whole, listen more music, martha is not the ony one who can play well chopin, listen more music,and listen well, and you will see, even if somebody play slow, doesn't mean is wrong. dont be so ignorant!!! Peace
I'm not ignorant - I can probably teach your music teacher a few things about music history and musicology. You're the one who sounds utterly ignorant - do you know your IQ? Is it double-digit?
the last time my IQ was measured in a standardised test it was 147, and I was talking about ignorance rather than intelligence, although you clearly show the absence of the latter and an abundance of the former.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Was the decimal point between 1 and 4 or between 4 and 7? Or was the number you gave me your weight in kilos? I don't have time to talk to obese idiots like you.
You said- is it a., OR b., not a. AND b., so if it is a. then I would be an idiot but not obese, if it is b. then I would be obese but not an idiot. Get it together dunce.
Well, fabrE30, I am polish but just like everyone, I don't really know his music. Of course, I heard many of his compisitions but I don't know it as well as some classical music fans.
I am proud of Frideric anyway.
And I am proud of Poland too , no matter what people say... Foreigners don't know our history, our winnings and looses, but they try to judge... Please, read some polish books about our history. Then judge us!
whaaaaaat!!!!??? i never said something about polish, and if i said something was in your defense, this SamuelConcepcion was the one who said the bad thing about polish people. Chopin is my favourite composer over all, nobody has written as beautiful music as he did it, and this SamuelConcep`cion is an idiot who thinks he knows how play Chopin music, but what can ia say, in my country there is a saying: If the assholes flew, we would be in the dark....See you, please, dont misunderstand my words
People nowadays don't even know who is Chopin. I fell in love with Chopin when I was 16 and now I'm 25, I still haven't change.

Just watching his perfect hand-work is making me cry.... How I wish I could play like this, or be able to hear a live each and every day...

He plays too slow and too "safe" -- in other words, BORING.

you are really stupid, this is chopin, the most important here is the music, not the speed, you need some culture, read books, that will work for you

Shut the fuck up, bitch! His playing has nor character, no flavor. I have a feeling you are Polish -- you are stupid as hell.
SamuelConcepcion 2 years ago
That you makes even more stupid, I am not Polish, but if i would, don´t you think than i should to understand better chopin music? I am sure you are one of that people who think than if play fast they think that they play well, are different virtuosities, cheap, in which simply headresses to screen, and this virtuosity, the one of quality, in which beams MUSIC, pity that the world is so full of ignorant people as you are

Hey stinky bitch, have you heard Martha Argerich's recording of this concerto? She played it super-fast and the effect was exhilerating and exciting! But then you are obviously an ignorant bastard so you wouldn't know. Just hide in your filthy cave and drop dead, will you?
SamuelConcepcion 2 years ago
in fact, martha argerich version is one of my favourite, but do you even know why matha plays this fast? is because she is terrified to play slow, of course, she is a genuis, she can play really fast, and i think blechacz too, if everybody play like martha, why we want more pianist? i told you before, read some books, you need to understand than the music is not drabness, and the most important is the MUSIC!!!!
fabrE30 2 years ago 3
not the fast playing, or the show, or play FORTISSIMO, the dynamics, the phrase, the cantabile, i think is the important, and martha and blechacz makes a very beautiful music, you really need have culture, a good musical education. Get out from your whole, listen more music, martha is not the ony one who can play well chopin, listen more music,and listen well, and you will see, even if somebody play slow, doesn't mean is wrong. dont be so ignorant!!! Peace

stop wasting people's time with your ignorance
fatmeteor 2 years ago
I'm not ignorant - I can probably teach your music teacher a few things about music history and musicology. You're the one who sounds utterly ignorant - do you know your IQ? Is it double-digit?
SamuelConcepcion 2 years ago
the last time my IQ was measured in a standardised test it was 147, and I was talking about ignorance rather than intelligence, although you clearly show the absence of the latter and an abundance of the former.

People, you seem to be so sad... Pathetic.
DO NOT YOU SEE THIS MULTITALENTED BOY PLAYING THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SOUNDS IN THE WORLD?
So shut up, the fuck, please.

Was the decimal point between 1 and 4 or between 4 and 7? Or was the number you gave me your weight in kilos? I don't have time to talk to obese idiots like you.
SamuelConcepcion 2 years ago
You said- is it a., OR b., not a. AND b., so if it is a. then I would be an idiot but not obese, if it is b. then I would be obese but not an idiot. Get it together dunce.

Well, fabrE30, I am polish but just like everyone, I don't really know his music. Of course, I heard many of his compisitions but I don't know it as well as some classical music fans.
I am proud of Frideric anyway.
And I am proud of Poland too , no matter what people say... Foreigners don't know our history, our winnings and looses, but they try to judge... Please, read some polish books about our history. Then judge us!
claudinelle23 2 years ago 2
whaaaaaat!!!!??? i never said something about polish, and if i said something was in your defense, this SamuelConcepcion was the one who said the bad thing about polish people. Chopin is my favourite composer over all, nobody has written as beautiful music as he did it, and this SamuelConcep`cion is an idiot who thinks he knows how play Chopin music, but what can ia say, in my country there is a saying: If the assholes flew, we would be in the dark....See you, please, dont misunderstand my words
