Chopin Ballade No.4

Outstanding!! Bravo!! Now I remember why I quit playing the piano a number of years ago, I was no good!!

This guy has got no clue as to how to play the ballade. Completely hollow, his playing, no frame, no storytelling, no artistry, just silly jumble of notes.

this is too much....it's not the best interpratation but youre exaggerating...

I find that his attention to detail is quite remarkable.

"This guy" is far closer to the Paderewski duo-art recording of the work than anything we've heard in many years. Fine colour, solid architecture, vivid playing - a highly satisfying performance.

Where can I hear Paderewski's version of Chopin's ballad #4? Would you upload it to YouTube?

f, I heard it in a program of Chopin works at the mechanical instruments museum at Leiden, the Netherlands so cannot upload. The style was not 'tender', rubato more confined, overall shape more aggressive. On the evidence,I suspect Paderewski, Busoni and contemporaries would not be altogether welcome in recital today.

I find points to discuss in Uinskas's performance, but can't bring myself to write him off so brutally as you do.

Stunning.

uinskas has an acceptional tallent. wonderfull.

Best version on youtube. well done!
