    Yeah! Who would find this piece challenging?! You clearly do not play this!

    He is putting all of himself into this- throwing his entire weight into the keyboard. He is fully in the service of the piece, which is why (if you can tell) it sounds amazing and is considered a monumental recording.

    If you want to accuse someone of being melodramatic, go insult Lang Lang. Or, even better, practice more and learn some respect and humility- don't flaunt your judgemental ignorance.

  • It's so funny! I think there's not a single video of a pianist playing anything, under which I don't find a comment saying that someone else plays it better.

  • @lospazio only martha argerich

  • In the film the Vital Juices Are Russian Ashkenazy played a beautiful piece just before the etude scene. Anyone know what it was?

  • @dragmio, well, the "progress" of the last few centuries has led classical music into its sorry state today: ugly atonality, banality, incoherence. So as for the originators, on the whole they have done more harm than good, since the classical music being written today is so ugly.

    Not all change is good. Change can be good or bad. For instance, Hitler was extremely politically innovative...but was that innovation a good thing?

  • @KhagarBalugrak Not to mention that entire Chopin is variations on Beethoven's sonata Pathetique. Chopin's music is beautiful and never boring, but he wasn't an originator. He was a follower, a brilliant one, but a follower nevertheless...

  • @KhagarBalugrak Beethoven practically invented orchestration. Noone ever did nor every will come close to him in that respect. You have to give him that. Today when we say "an orchestra" we mean"Beethoven's orchestra".

  • Screw that!

  • it's a fantastic piece of music...and the video is great too....

  • he (vlad) makes a study into a beautiful piece of music his technique and musicality is second to none and of course chopin is just a genius.

  • Chopin was a real Bach enthusiast, but he was not overtly influenced by him: rather, Chopin created something entirely new with his music. He is an original, perhaps the most original composer of the 19th (or, for that matter, any century) - more to the current point, Ashkenazy did his outstanding genius justice with this magnificent interpretation.
