Zimerman plays Chopin Ballade No. 1

Tamriel462, nobody said he didn't have the right to do it, just that I don't feel it was appropriate. Fuck you for putting words in my mouth.

soooo amazing love this song yeaaaaaaaaa is beautiful

@awefaislfdas
it's such a slap when people exercise their freedom of speech. don't they get that they're just supposed to be glorified street performers

Great performance

In questo pezzo, c'è tutto il genio creativo di Chopin!

wow

I haven't heard of Zimerman berating his fans, he was rather berating the government and their criminal activities. He protested against wars and thanked people who support true democration. This is what i have read about his speech. So it wasn't against his fans, it was like explaining why he is not gonna play any more recitals in this country, which he thinks is ruled by criminals. By the way, his recital, he is the one to control what he does or says during it.

This is my favorite Chopin piece. Which wasn't easy for me to pick. I've heard this played by too many different ways and by too many people to consider myself sane and un-obsessed with Chopin. I can only imagine the understanding of each individual note that Chopin had in order to write music the way he did. Never in a million years could I ever have come up with this note sequence. I shouldn't be amazed by this point, but I am.

Thank you Chopin. Have a wonderful 200th year.
