The range of dynamics and control are so special here in Zimerman's playing. Instead of emoting all over the place, his use of understatement make the high points even more exciting. The Vienna Phil is superb. It's like each one is playing with the same infectious excitement and commitment.
After seeing this video, I came to find there's nothing perfect in the world. Nothing perfect.
Compared to Glenn Gould's version, Leonard Bernstein and Wiener Philharmoniker Orchestra are far more better than those in Glenn's, however, Zimerman, obviously and unfortuanately, didn't understand Beethoven while playing. Pas du tout.
A man without passion cannot access to Beethoven only by his Schumann-styled sweetness.
@Pelleas1007 seriously you can sit there and say this man has no passion?????? are you blind and deaf???? Gould was ok for Bach - he can never touch Zimerman playing this piece - ever
i have no willing to persuade - if you listen to all these you'll find passion to Zimerman is nothing more than a Chopin's nocture - he's far from understanding Beethoven. Since everyone has his interpretation of music perhaps Zimerman reckoned this concerto as something quite similar to Chopin's No.1 piano concerto after all i do not persuade
@Pelleas1007 and you are a SNOB this is perfection a passion, and YOU understand beethoven? I certainly dont but I feel he would have loved Zimerman because he made people love his music if anything. Please send me a link where this has been performed better
Krystian Zimerman shocked the audience of LA Walt Disney Concert Hall on Sunday when he stopped mid-show saying that he would no longer perform in a country whose military wants to take over the world.
Krystian Zimerman shocked audience at Seattle's Meany Hall telling Bach jokes in English before playing Bach Partita No.2, and charmed audience members with his virtuosic performance and his expertise of the piano.

@Pelleas1007 This comment is just silly! You are no expert on Beethoven (or perhaps even piano playing)!

give the pairing of Bishop-Kovacevich and Colin Davis a listen. Amazing performance. Or the much older Edwin Fischer and Furtwangler.

@TeslaGenius2 can certainly understand his point of view having grown up in a soviet block country.
