  • I agree with M. Elias 100%. Have you heard the expression "wind on the graves"? Since Paderewsky that expresses the idea that this movement has a "impressionist" focus, perhaps because it comes after death (Marche funèbre). This is not necessarily Chopin usual language; remember Chopin's maid in Majorca frightened when she saw all Chopin's hair stretched out during the composition of this piece. This is not living melodic piano but afterdeath music !

  • "You satisfy me"...miss you

  • Absolutely superb, but not QUITE at the expressive level of M. Cortot, but then no one is -- or ever has been -- with the possible exception of Chopin, himself.

    Novaes, played this as a POST SCRIPT to the funeral march .

    After hearing that I realized the two movements should not be separated. This hissing, whispering, snarling, cackling black cloud of despair represents a whirlpool of demonic energy sucking the damned into Hades -- or a drowning in quicksand.

  • Strange song, not at all like any Chopin i know

  • "Winds of night over churchyard graves"...that description is supposed to have come from Anton Rubinstein, not Paderewski

  • this playing only starts and finishes, without anything understandable than soundbubbles in the middle. What should this be good for? There is Rubinstein, for example, much more spaking Chopin's language.

  • This pianist is a magician. He barely moves his fingers and the sounds come there with all intentions: mistery, shadow, half-light and flash. Everything is there with such an emotional impact.

  • very good, it could have more mystery. congratulations
