A lovely recording! Why with 17,000 views only 53 likes?? I have given mein..

well... even chopin's op25 no.2 has musical meanings in those triplets... so young pianists should bring out those musical qualities and not use these so called "show-off" pieces to inflate their egos...

Absolutely beautiful. What a master!

THIS is how it should be played.
It is NOT a jumble of notes. It is a piece of music that actually has a melodic line...if the player cares to find it.
Which I find rarely happens...except for here!! Now Kempff is a genius. And I mean genius.

This is really lovely; a performance that doesn't turn this into a goddamn etude and a slur of triplets that lesser musicians think should be played as quickly as they can muster to show off their "ability" (the opposite becomes the case).
I particularly like how Kempff finds hidden melodic lines within the triplet passages.
I've heard so many mediocre performances of this lately, I started thinking the piece was at fault. I'm glad I came across this.
All those youngsters who play this piece at about the same time - and for the same technical purpose - as Chopin's op. 25 no. 2 should listen to this and learn. It's not a velocity exercise!!! It's great music, as Kempff so powerfully reminds us.

Incredibly soft and melodic play, effortless
and delightfully charming.
