[snowballga]

Absolutely captivating...

[gogleistscheise1]

[CoD6Cristi]

only a little group of people can play this song (maybe 2-3) and the rest of one are failed miserably

[Gloovyglow]

[1938dmkdz]

Just returned from Poland (9-24-2011) and while there we attended a Chopin piano

concert in Warsaw, the Poles have a great feeling for music and their country, I was

impressed.

[SooophTeeeey]

Bösendorfer <3 <3 <3

[pianuify]

very good. one thing: there s a G# that had two times you play has one time.

[SirSardonic]

I can't find sheet music with the F# at 1:04 (mine has a G# there), but I like how it sounds. Is that on your sheet music?

[paulostroff99]

Awesome! Incredible playing.TY for sharing.

[Bruce88keys]

Oy Vey Maria!!!!!!!

[GABRIELEsongs]

A beautiful composition (like so many by Chopin)

and this is played wonderfully ....

[supermariosister87]

The beginning was exhilarating, and you could really see the emotion in his eyes. Bravo Chopin for this lovely piece, and bravo to you, sir, for playing it so exquisitely.

[MINIsiev2]

@supermariosister87 the funny thing was, when chopin made the fantasie impromptu, he despised it. he thought it was terrible.

[supermariosister87]

The beginning was the most exhilarating part, and you could really see the emotion in his eyes. Bravo Chopin for this lovely piece, and bravo to you, sir, for playing it so exquisitely.

[SametHorses]

This is the definition of awesomeness... dude you're.... incredible!!!

[MrAydemir]

Bravo Maestro!

[TheSt777n]

he presses everything clearly. many people play it jahjahwjhawjhhhwjhajwhja but he plays it drabadabarabadabadrabadaba

[MrOmniStrife]

It looks kinda like your fingers dancing on the piano.

Well Done Man!!

[shakabulla]

spider fingers man :O

im impressed

i like it!

[narutoli123]

wonderful !!!

[Terssi92]

Stanislav Bunin nails this piece, no matter he speeds up +20% :)

[gencodiz]

superbly....



[esse318]

this interpretation is great, clear and easy to learn but i still love YundiLi's best, though i can not play that well...i prefer it to be more graceful

[zoenie123]

I like this video, not because it's such a great interpretation, but because of the slower speed. The accents on the notes from measures 17 until 24 are missing (melody should be on the high notes) ...

However it shows the piece in a different perspective .. still impressive to watch :-)

In my opinion a lot better than the Jung Lin performance ... that is way too fast. Double as fast doesn't make it double as beautiful, on the contrary ... I dislike how Jung Lin plays it :-)

[TheAshKane]

any1 could give me tips on how to play this piece well ? I`m far to this, and i dont understand my own mistakes =(

[JSJCB]

@TheAshKane message me and i'll help you out

[olopcall]

I also have avideo of this! Not as good I think, but I'd like to hear some opinions!

[imnotstpid]

this is soooooo easy. ok, i lied :(

[XDXDXDXDXDXDXD]

@imnotstpid "easy" is going a little far...I would say not as hard as it looks.

[JSJCB]

@XDXDXDXDXDXDXD It is harder thank it looks i just finished learning the first section its got cross rhythms and a lot of tricky fingering.

[ItsVikkiEveryone]

i'm learning this piece!! how does this only have 160,000 views?! this is the probably one of the best interpretations i've listened to!!

[expressoface]

im thinking this asian guy is really good and then at 00:38 i see this white guy sitting there. im like what the heck? you totally had me fooled.

[whoooohaaaa]

fav part 4:15 - 4:30

[AnthonyRA2014]

If this is what ahead for me in piano...

[Llawliet246]

@AnthonyRA2014 Keep practicing it is :)

[Rachopin77]

This is the best speed I've heard this piece played at. not too fast, not too slow

[NEWoceanflower2008]

OMG! What a great performance!

[ISuckAtPianoPlaying]

[lenzub]

Amazingly Chopin hated this song. After he was done composing it he never played it again and despised the song...weird I don't know how you couldn't like it, yet he manages to hate it.... Chopin must of had some intense emotions...

[pianissimo5]

@lenzub he was a morbid perfectionist, and he had a lady to impress. :)

[pianissimo5]

@lenzub he was morbidly perfectionistic, and he had a lady to impress. :)

[livelifewitheas]

[jjj2563j]

[ReBravo80]

[lrbblumenthal3]

[agnelovesya]

beautiful

[melvis24]

Really balanced and enchanting interpretation. Lovely clearnes.

[franciscojosesm]

muy buena la interpretacion

cuanto tiempo ha tardado en tocar la pieza gracias

[Adritakaxo]

The only thing I can offer in exchange of such an amazing interpretations are my words: Thank you.

[thepianoguy12345678]

I can only sit here, close my eyes and pretend I'm playing this :( hopefully one day I'll get to this level

[kamudankemter]

So good. May the force be with you...

[TheJlz13]

this is a unique version

[fmagistel]

Drastically different style from other pianists it seems...

Still, touching nontheless.

[LEOPARDTWO]

Goose bumps. *****

[EelamTiggette]

I love this song...that's all I can say.

[lllllllllllllll88]

★★★★★

The most amazing pianist of this century...

[JSJCB]

35% learned thats and achievement!

[gianghokyhiep]

Dear sir

I really love to listen and watch you play my favorites. I watched over and over again almost everyday. I have a request. Is it possible if you can play Tchaikovsky Romance in F minor, Op. 5 ? I am dying to see a great pianist to play this song. I could not find any great player on youtube I'd like to listen to great melodies and watch the fingers movements.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely

[tsukilayton]

think that modern youth think justin and Lady gaga is music.

chopin certainly a unique teacher

[tsukilayton]

pensar que la juventud moderna piensa que justin bieber y lady gaga es musica.

chopin un maestro inigualable sin duda

[Raelyn27]

Thank you so much for posting this.....exquisite xo <3

[TheValdezdj]

Everthing he does is good because he is Russian.

[239Nicks]

@TheValdezdj who is Russian?

[isayhionthe75]

Best performance of this song I have ever heard.

[isayhionthe75]

Fantastic. All I can say.

[asetoyan]

Best performance, and recording I ever listened, Thank you Tsvi.

[rulezz264]

I'll play like this soon :D

[asaphjeffrey]

DUDE :0

[aussiechickdiana]

Fantastique...!

[TheValdezdj]

Wonderful.

[TheValdezdj]

This is the kind of man that can preform these difficult songs with ease and still sound like how Chopin would have played it.

[thcook87]

incredible

[TheValdezdj]

This man truly knows how to preform this work of art correctly also, is he Russian?

[ET2K3]

i found this song on Eternal Sonata And i love it

[lukeba214]

@ET2K3

I started learning this song because that game was so inspiring, and made me truly start appreciating Chopin's work :)

SACRED SIGNATURE.

[Pulido0717]

EXCELLENT, ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!!!

[Annie0854]

fantastic performance! Thank you!

[PandahatLara]

This is gorgeous.

[4asovoi]

This is my favourite performance of the tune!

[mastakat74]

who didn't like this? seriously? what a dumb ass, who voted "dislike". RETARDED

[JSJCB]

i want to learn this so bad anyone have a clue roughly what grade A.M.E.B it is?

[redemusica]

Gostei muito. Tá perfeito!!!

[MISHA1119]

Yes, Mgfryan, all too often the pianist, afraid that he will be regarded as a technical weakling if he takes a broad tempo, turns lovely passagework into a facile smear of mediocrity. A bit slower, but with crystal clarity, and the mundane becomes the magnificent. Josef Hofmann, whose fingers were the cleanest and fastest of any pianist who has yet lived, said exactly the same thing: "Clarity rather than speed produces brilliance at the piano." And Tzvi understands this secret to its core.

[MISHA1119]

Wonderful, marvelous, Tzvi! Absolutely top-notch, as good as the Fantasie-Impromptus by the "big names". I can't tell you how impressed I am by this seamlessly beautiful performance, which makes us aware that the piece is one long, passionately etched singing line. It's as good as Yundi Li's and much better than all the others - crystal clarity combined with a wartm, rich sound is the blueprint for success in this piece, and you nailed it. Bravissimo!

[Leitilumo]

Beautiful... And what an old piano. :)

[melagads]

1:14 - 3:18 this must be heaven

[latorateatora]

@melagads 0:00 - 5:11 this mus be heaven

[ADAILCANDIDO]

@latorateatora musica bom para ouvir . e bom pra alma

[cfwpiano]

One of the best versions on YT. Superb playing, Mr. Erez.

[gonrolgonrol]

Fantastic!!!

[juanna34]

wwwoooo superrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

[TheLovelyPiano]

0:55 and 0:57, LOVE how you hit those base chords & octaves. NO one brings that out except you. In fact, I didn't even know that was even there, and I've heard this piece 1,000 times and am also working on it (although not there yet). Very unique, and quite good.

[deerodchan]

@TheLovelyPiano

VERY VERY TRUE. 1 reason why i keep coming back to tzvi's recordings are because of his base chords and octaves. No one brings out the chords better than tzvi.

[mgfryan]

This interpretation is excellent for anyone trying to learn to play this piece. Every note is distinctly articulated, and the speed is not as prohibitive to detailed listening as other interpretations I've heard. (I'm not a critic of high speed performances - they can be very impressive, but not so helpful to us mere mortals trying to learn!)

[gabodh89]

impresionante...hermoso tema

[gabodh89]

maestro ; ) hermoso tema musical...impresionante saludos

[gabodh89]

[antonitort]

hemosisima ejecucion...de verdad impresionante....dios te bendiga

[Sheepmaster95]

[mmyylleenn]

Never come across such a brilliant Chopin rendition of Fantasie Impromptu ! A real pianist who feels music with every fibre...

[ILoveThePiano1]

nice videos

[stefyjonas1]

Chloe brought me here! <3

[efronbrianna]

I love you, Chloe.

[HerculesOlimpio]

[lllllllllllllll88]

@HerculesOlimpio - Yes, he's wonderful. I bought two of his CD's and they are FANTASTIC!

[soccerchick24913]

Beautifully played.

[aguspepi]

Its great , i really liked it!!.. mistake at 00:52 but brilliant work!! congrats!

[CarterCinema]

Dude! you are my hero!

[lllllllllllllll88]

LIstent to that base roar. Sheer POWER! You make me regret ever selling my Bosendorfer. What a beautiful instrument. And you play it so wonderfully. I learn from your videos by watching your fingering, even tone, and clarity. I've changed my way of practicing by watching you. I'm trying to use the metronome more so that I can try to play like this.  Absolutely stunning . . .

[Garcian]

bah, he is really hammering the keys.. each to their own

[Medellinish]

@Garcian exactly...zero feeling

[DaZeDmerlin]

Is there a greater piece of music then this?

I don't think anything compares to this.

It's intelligent, complex, serious and playful at the same time, dramatic and melancholic yet uplifting, it's hard to capture the complexity of this melody, it's brilliant, i love especially the cantabile part.
