Magnifico grande maestro pollini

I heard this played by a girl that played at a piano recital and shes a junior in high school
I don't care what you say thats f***ing amazing

I find his playing of this piece very beautiful and touching. Do all pianists must sound the same? same tempo, same dynamics, same colors ? Thank God not! it would make my listening quite boring and predictable. Music is written, but it only becomes alive when played with soul.

@Fabry555 Good point, Fabry. And every time his work is played is further proof that Chopin was an angel come to earth.
-
So Good Sound!!!

But how can you count the seconds!??! I listen to this piece and I feel the emotions.. the Heart of Chopin! It is not written anywhere that a piece has the seconds counted to be lived!

Maravilhoso !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SUPER!!!!

She's not as famous but, has anyone heard Lilian Kallir play this piece? It's one of the most balanced in terms of speed, dynamics and expression that I've encountered.

To all the people defending the performance of Pollini. There's another youtube-clip of Pollini where he plays this piece: 'watch?v=tFVQx9yxMcE'
Now WITHOUT listening you can easily identify that the other one lasted roughly 4:45 while in this video here pollini played from 0:10 to 4:25, making a playtime of 4:15...that's a total difference of 30 seconds. In words: thirty. Half a minute.
Pollini played (too) fast even compared to himself!
