Zimerman plays Chopin Sonata Op.35 (3rd/4th mov)

[tierzuchtZentral]

beispiellos

[legendarypwnerv2]

2:41 someone's watch changed 2:57 the watch alarm starts beeping. Cough every 5 seconds. Sometimes I don't understand people.

[musicfanBRA]

From 2:32 it's such a lovely, delicate melody, that I can only think of petals falling from a flower.

[wenlin33]

I prefer Pogorelich's interpretation of Marche Funebre.

[fledgehog]

am i the only one who STILL jumps almost every time i hear the low b-flat at the end?

[musiclassic1]

Murray Perahia - Piano Sonata No. 2 in B Flat Minor, Op. 35: III. Marche Funebre

[japaneasylistener]

I love zimerman ... he is poet as well as pianist.

with brilliand skill, I can not feel any piece he played so difficult ....

I enjoy music when player really appreciate every single note he plays and love it

[mDruma]

is it recorded in a hospital?

[MagnusHansenMusic]

@mDruma No, a funeral.

[mDruma]

@MagnusHansenMusic ah yeah..sure...better for the reverb...

[MagnusHansenMusic]

@mDruma Yeeaahhh ... right .........?

[ImDrunkOnBaileys]

if you have cs4 soundbooth, the coughs can be removed quite easily, (love the playing thx for the upload)

[19lharas]

It seems like people are coughing more at this concert than they would elsewhere; like someplace where it's less important to remain silent.

Do you think it's some narcissistic need to insert oneself into the performance or a weird tic in response to the pressure to remain quiet?

I recognize that it could just be a bunch of jerks came in with colds... but it feels like it could be more than that. Either way, it's very, very irritating.

Just saw him live yesterday in the Amsterdam Concert-building. Celebrating for the 250th year of Chopin. Played the whole Sonata 2 and 3 + Opus 15.2 and Scherzo something something... It was so beautiful. My hands were hurting at the end though. We had applauded for 15 minutes at the end.

[fatalfuz]

@MrMonstaGamer 200th year of his birth, maybe. Born 1810

[FFChopin1810]

@MrMonstaGamer Was there too. Amazing experience. Work of genius deserves Krystina Zimerman!

[newFranzFerencLiszt]

Magnifique - apart from the coughers - ...

-.-

[HerthanerBerlin]

it's amazing how beautiful music can be ruined by people being unable to stop their fuckin coughing. keith jarett would have stopped...

[newFranzFerencLiszt]

really? (about KJ)

[3screamingkids]

frickin coughers. Get a lozenge!

[Zaharaxxx]

@3screamingkids I agree...I laughed a lot for your comment because I was thinking the same before reading it. Is it possible that all that people go to a concert like that and keep coughing all the time??? go outside and don t break the atmosphere!

[Barbapippo]

the finale is a bit too foggy for my tastes, and, of course, the senseless ritardando in the last bars IS arbitrary

[junglejim66]

@Barbapippo performance is OK for me. little too much ritardando at the end, though. you're right there.

[Barbapippo]

The "Bydlo" effect in the Funeral March is a bit arbitrary, isn't it? However, a beautiful performance

[newFranzFerencLiszt]

Bydlo effect?

[FredilYupigo]

Where did you get this recording demonstrating a whole new level of Zimerman-ian awesomeness ? I have never heard such an astounding or breathtaking fourth movement of this sonata!

[Gothic1982]

Chopin was a genius. He wrote this piece so that the last two chords were played so loud that everyone would wake up and applaud the performer.

[MicrobeObliteratorMo]

lol.....

[newFranzFerencLiszt]

@Gothic1982

for sure this wasn't his meaning

-.-

[dido93]

Thank you for this "preciuos" musical material.

[weltmeister12]

Marsz załobny....

[Katiuszkasanda]

Krystian Zimerman possède une superbe musicalité ,un toucher délicat,j'aime cette version.Merci!

[ayso78]

Amazing pedal effects in the concluding section of the march.

[civilbb]

At 8:53 the 4th movements starts.

[zantezakynthos]

No, you are absolutely wrong. The 4th movement is a different separate track. Thanks :-)

[civilbb]

I posted that for easy click to the 4th movement for myself lol...

And I was not wrong, it does start at 8:53 though it was a seperate track, you are welcome.
