"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
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 !
