What a fresh and interesting interpretation! So unlike those boring and unoriginal mordern interpretations by Ashkenazy, Rubinstein and even Horowitz!

This is being played as if Chopin just
wrote it!! Mystery and melancholy and
brilliant technique conspire to make this
an iconic gem. Great post. Thank you!

@dcalliari The version here is very good. Sublime or serene while still showing the waltz as a relationship between a man and a woman. Rachmaninov's version shows that more with speed changes to an even greater degree, Yet Paderewski breathes more with volume changes as well. Where I disagree with you is Horowitz and Rubenstein. Hororwitz I found horrible devoid of ANY romance at all. Maybe he ordered his wife around or something. Awful! How could he be Rachmaninov's pal and not get it?

These few minutes of magic are sufficient to explain why so many people fell under Paderewskis spell . the seeming naturalness with which ideas flow one from another and th exuisite sense of timing .it is obvious how much f.ex Rubinstein benefited from his short time as Paderewskis quasi student as did numerous others .

Magic.
Ofcourse Rubinstein and Horowitz´s versions are outstanding, but they can´t help analysing Chopin in their own, distant context. It´s as if they put his music in a museum. This version is different, we are placed in the vibrant eurocentric world lived by Chopin... this is why Pederewski´s interpretation brings the best out of the XIX century genius...
