In response to an earlier comment -- this "young man" was about 38-39 in this video. He looks very young. Personally I think he has just the right amount of charisma -- after all, it's about his music, not his personality. I can't wait to hear what you have to say about commentary from Rafal Blechacz.

I have listened to many recordings of the waltzes, Lipatti, Rubenstein, Pires, Fliter, Igoshina, and Ott. However, this is my favorite. Chopin's father was French; I don't understand the concept that a Frenchman can't interpret Chopin.

Chopin's music embraces two worlds, his Polish/Slavic roots and the parlor culture of 19th century Paris. East Europeans have largely "owned" the interpretation of Chopin's music. But, I've been waiting to hear a French pianist really capture Chopin's French sensibilities. Although Chopin's soul was certainly Polish, he certainly appropriated French cultural sensibilities. Although I did not understand a word that Tharaud spoke in that video. I suspect he gets it right on the money. :-)

Good point, unfortunately, to my best knowledge no French pianist of past or present can step down to the ring on this pretty heavyweight issue. There are some interesting discoveries to be made among some old school names, meaning the 30's,(Robert Lortat 1885-1938 for example).This uncharismatic young man as Chopin expert provokes only a polite laughter.

What about Alfred Cortot? The "polite laughter" comment is just rude, by the way. What are your qualifications to pass judgment anyway?
