  • the ending's a bit unsettling without that last chord in there :/ youtube...

  • @ferdecastro D:

  • About different interpretations: People differ in their preferences for performances of Chopin. That's just the way it is - e.g. some like Arrau, some like Pollini, some like Hofmann - whatever. I once heard Mozart's Requiem conducted by Leonard Berstein (it's on youtube) at a VERY slow tempo - far slower than anything else I'd ever heard. It was phenomenal! Some people didn't like it. So? Same with Berstein's very slow (and beautiful - also on youtube) version of Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony.

  • @MaslAlek You are entitled to your opinion. It takes a genius performer to realize the genius of a composer like Chopin. It's a hand-in-hand, cooperative venture. Would you rather hear a 2 year piano student play the genius of Chopin, or Pollini? The point I was trying to make is that Pollini plays Chopin so well it almost seems like Pollini is "channeling" Chopin. Anyway, enjoy the music; that's what it's really all about. Words don't do either Chopin, or Pollini, justice. 2 geniuses!

  • @jsphotos man, Chopin was a GENIOUS, HE WAS UNBELIEVEBLE GENIOIS, He wrote so many magnificent pieces and Pollini is 'only' a performancer. you exaggerated a lot... A LOT

  • please u don't need to swear at anyone to make your point , it just makes u look crass, peace.

  • Sontuoso,nitido, preciso, BRAVO
