  • I love the way she carries the descending line through while still bringing out the bass melodies, the speed of execution and lines are all aimed at heightening the emotion .. it's what she's constantly striving to acheive it's what makes her an artists and one of the truly great pianists of our time. She pulls the tempo way back in the thematic material around 2:30 and it becomes almost pastoral instead turning heavily romantic.. the piece is brilliantly executed

  • All I can say is that finally I found someone who plays Chopin's music the way I like it to hear!!! Wonderful! There is actually emotion and soul in her playing. Thank you. This speaks to my soul.

  • @Pinepelt I have to disagree I haven't found any one that can play this piece like Rubinstein, and I love Argerich, she's amazing, but I don't like her in this piece.

  • @8880lilith I'm terrible. When I play the piano, my kids and wife threaten to desert me.

  • @TheCobalt100

    So Why dont you post your videos.... ?

  • My absolute favourite pianist playing my absolute favourite piece of all time. Her playing inspires me in every part of my life.

  • How.  Incredible. I never expected to hear someone better than Rubinstein, but I have. Brava. Bravissima.

  • OMG even better than Rubinstein!!!

  • @TaiMaiShu0k Still is, IMHO

  • Dizer o que? Saudade imensa, desejo de sair daqui rápido, entrar num mundo paralelo...

  • magnifique interprétation !

  • I am not being critical here at all. But she does not play this like I play it.  At all! I make huge mistakes too numerous to mention. My version is more like the choppy seas during a hurricane.
