Don't judge her too much. It's tough playing in front of a crowd. People get nervous. I know I would if I was a soloist in front of a big crowd! I get nervous just playing in festivals!
Still, could use a little bit more rabato ( or however it's spelled).
She certainly "gets the job done!" but I cringe watching her fingers so "deep" on the keys. I could never play like that. Is it just that her fingers are soooooo long??? Love her rendition, tho...
She is playing the original full version which is a lot more demanding on the fingers but the melody line is far richer than many simplified versions played by other pianists.
d song was "no other love," it goes: No other love can warm my heart now that i've known d comfort of ur arms no other luv no other kiss can warm my lips now that i know d wonder of ur kiss no other luv i was blessed w/ luv 2 luv u til d stars burn up above til d moon has lost its silver sheen... no other luv, theres no other luv know d wonder of ur spell...
I don´t understand some people, sometimes they say: expression blank, and othertimes they say fake expressions.......... its difficult to satisfy everybody.....
Phenomenally well played much more musical than it normally played - you are an inspiration Hsia-Jung Chang. You have moved me with this piece after spending a day rehearsing it and I thought that was impossible!
Oh my God she is playing on a Fazioli those are considered the ferrari of pianos followed by steinways. Most concert pianists will never get their hands on one those. They cost approx $100,000.or more. But she totally deserved to play on one these because she is phenomenal.
My comment was purely subjective. The Fazioli's largest concert piano is priced at 202,000. Their most expensive one is the brunei made with mother pearl and semi precious stones priced at $409,000. If she was playing on a Bosendorfer which their most expensive one is 1.2 million I would compare it to lambhorgini. So trust me I know my pianos
i love this song and am learning it myself !!!!!and on the contrary to how some think, i find it great to hear others' interpretations of the song to find what i like best. great job
no wonder chopin consider this as one of the greatest (if not the greatest) melody he ever composed. i believe that he compose this song with pride for his homeland Poland....superb.
Brilliant technically. But a little 'mechanical' in style (if there is one). She also did some rather unusual phrasing and interpretation. But like I said, very technically competent performance. :)
I love her playing that song . Sp i tried to learn this song too ,) It took about 2 months... the middle part is hard for me ( she is playing very fast ) Her feeling is nice ;)
Yeah...so I first heard this song watching FMA, but I'M GOING TO PLAY IT SOMEDAY! It's absolutely,indescribably beautiful no matter who's playing it, and those of you that are complaining.......... Can't we all be nice? Youtube seems to have a trend of dissing anyone brave enough to upload a video. ^^;;
What's wrong with you people? She's not old or stiff or funny, and there is nothing wrong w/ her arms. She's got crazy skills and she is a beautiful long orchid of a woman. Playing seems to be very private and intimate for her, hence looking away from the audience, even to the floor.
she looks really stiff...but I love this piece. Actually I love all of Chopin's work. Haha I'm trying to learn this piece. I don't know if i can though, it looks really hard. but i'll try! ^_^
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It's not hard, this piece is really easy, if you think it's hard you are too noob to play Chopin, go practise some Liszt or A.Schmidt. I'm so sick of seeing crap renditions of this piece on youtube, this one is pretty good though. Don't learn pieces which are too technically challenging as you will just sound like a tard.
obvioulsy you are not a true piano music lover. if you ever dare to say that about this etude, one of the finest works of chopin, (and chopin´s favorites) o god i would be ashamed of saying that as i am of reading it. by the way.....what do you play=?
screw you! OK i'm no professional, but i did my grade 9 before i quit to focus on engineering school. Chopin's actually my favourite, i know ALL his pieces and have been listening to them for years, and play many including a few etudes. From my chopin etude book I read long ago chopin being quoted "i'll never again find such a beautiful melody" regarding this song, but thanks for trying to teach me something i already know. Sorry i have other interests, hahah.
I dominate fanasie impromptu, the heroic polonaise, the butterfly etude, and some preludes, which i've performed live, again, i'm no professional but i'd say my versions are quite good. I'm quite confident i know more about his music than you. Yeah, i like michael jackson and tennis, maybe you should find a life outside piano, ever think of that???
Too bad. She is a very talented pianist, but it would've been more enjoyable, for my preferences over this piece, if she followed Chopin's dynamic indications. The liberties she took on the tempo variations stray far from the essence of the piece, unfortunately.
Oh I agree. Musical historians will concur with the notion that Chopin loved Rubato. I think, though, too much Rubato can change the mood of the piece. Everyone is different though.
Horowitz's rendition was supreme, in my opinion. Many people will disagree.
