By: ferso78. on 10 Nov 08, 23:16:09 In response to soleonice's comment, I am not questioning Yund Li's technical perfection. What I'm saying is that I prefer Fabio Bidini's expression. This doesn't have anything to do with technique. Bidini plays in my opinion with more feeling. He emphasizes the soft and loud parts more passionately. Now, if you disagree with me, I'm perfectly comfortable with it. To a degree this is subjective. Please don't attack my comment soleonice.

By: jimmbo13. on 30 Nov 08, 18:15:45 I think anyone would agree that the orchestration is possibly below that of a symphonic composer, and chopin himself had help with orchestration, but the melodic lines of the orchestra are superb, and any fault here lies with the orchestra playing, not chopin orchestra?

Any musical piece can be played both amazingly beautifuly, with much emotion, love & talent, & can be played as if you just want to get it over with. This band plays it like it wants to get it over with, & that's why the orchestra part sounds so boring & blah. This is nonsense. ... By: 00Rotem00. on 20 Nov 08, 13:48:58 This is nonsense. Listen to other performances of this piece, & you'll realize how stunning the orchestra's part really is. This orchestra, however, looks like they've been playing this 8 times that day already & am sick of this. I didn't just stumble upon this piece for the first time- it's one of my favorite musical pieces, & not only mine. It's widely praised by many musicians around the world. Do you think Chopin's concertos would gain such appreciation if he couldn't compose for an Hi rotem, no ... By: hoherton. on 20 Nov 08, 13:40:18 Hi rotem, no offending is needed here, please! Just play an instrument in the orchestra part or talk to an orchestra musician: it is BORING. Thatswhy there are no symphonies of Chopin: he couldnt instrumentate. Its like baroque music, the whole melody comes from the solo and the orchestra just gives accords. But the piano part of course is great music. Superb playing.

That's the biggest ... By: 00Rotem00. on 12 Nov 08, 15:02:16 That's the biggest piece of nonsense I've ever heard, I'm sorry to tell you. Chopin had quite enough pieces that were written for the piano only, & he wouldn't bother writing an entire concerto if he didn't care about the orchestra. & just compare this version to the one played by the Slovak Philharmonic Orchestra, in which Toperezek played the piano part, there is so much life & soul in the orchestra's playing that you realize just how much melody it does have. The concerto is ... By: hoherton. on 12 Nov 08, 11:47:13 The concerto is nice, but the orchestra part is extremely boring (for the orchestra...) We play it now with our orchestra and I can tell you: it is boring! Chopin obviously only thought about the piano part. (comp. to other solo concerts, where even the orchestra has SOME melody sometimes) So I can fully understand the orchestra in the video! And: if this is from a Chopin competition the orchestra has probably played this for 100 times... However: the piano part is quite nice. I have to disagree. ... By: 00Rotem00. on 09 Nov 08, 18:45:53 I have to disagree. There's nothing I hate more than seeing stiff players. I don't think his movement & faces are contrived, you can see he's really feeling the music & playing with passion. Yes, at times he looks a bit strange, but then again most passionate pianists tend to look really wierd at times of playing (watch Gillels playing Rachmaninoff for example). I really enjoyed ... By: 00Rotem00. on 09 Nov 08, 18:41:48 I really enjoyed Li's playing of this, it's a different interpetation than what I'm used to, but beautiful non the less, I just wish there were a bit more dynamics (personal taste, & it's a romantic piece, so you can pretty much go wild with it...). But the orchestra... God, I don't understand it! This is one of the most sweeping & heart-wrenching pieces ever written & at times they play it so uninspiring & lifeless! They're playing didn't move me the slightest... this is amazing.... ... By: galz777. on 06 Nov 08, 23:41:48 this is amazing....yundi li is like my favorite pianist ever.. Well, he sure seems ...

By: sonofmanchu. on 30 Jul 08, 17:35:29 No, the ring was a gift form a polish old lady, Who provided Yundi Li a room at her residence during the Chopin Competition in 2001. Yundi won the title and said the ring gave him the strength and confident to perform. He calls this is his lucky ring. He has wearing that ring since then. He is still single, I think.

By: IIPianista. on 02 Oct 08, 07:58:15 {This is not a comment} Why do we post so many comments on whether we agree or do not agree this piece is beautiful? Are our arguments really relevant to the purpuse of the listening? How are they going to affect us in any way? Why do we crave green thumb-ups or red thumb-downs?

Solamente fue una ... By: contrerados. on 30 Jul 08, 02:24:11 Solamente fue una opinion sobre Arrau; no habia pronunciado algo acerca del pianista Dong-Min Lim. Esta interpretacion es excelente, pero no necesariamente 'la unica'. Y no, no hace falta de envejecer para ser un virtuoso, ya que Rubinstein y Horowitz, por ejemplo, no reflejan la elegancia y la gracia como lo hacen Arrau y Ashkenazy. Otra vez, esta es solamente una opinion y no refleja el ultimo veredicto en la musicologia. Lo mejor esta en el oido de cada quien, y eso el punto. Así como Arrau, ... By: Ernesto7608. on 30 Jul 08, 01:17:41 Así como Arrau, muchos pianistas hacen lo mismo cuando se sientan frente al piano. El subjeto de este video es el joven Coreano. Aunque uno esté enamorado del recuerdo de Arrau, no quita que esta interpretación merece mucho aprecio. Un pianista tiene que ser viejo para ser bueno? Eso es más bién para el vino... From my perspective ... By: Ernesto7608. on 30 Jul 08, 01:07:21 From my perspective, Perspectiva90, your comment reads like nothing but bitching. His hands move like a flag? So? as long as you don't hear them flapping. NO emotion, cold interpretation? You must like schmaltz. Fragmented interpretation? you must have a very slow internet. You lose the sense of the piece and don't know what he is playing? I agree, you don't know. Claudio Arrau no ... By: contrerados. on 22 Jul 08, 19:06:49 Claudio Arrau no elabora cuando se sienta frente al piano ya que el toma lo que Chopin concebio y lo transmite tal como si fuera el mismo Chopin tocando. Este nocturno (No 13) expone una pasion desatada, en especial hacia el final, como si se tratara de una lucha por conquistar y amar. En cambio, el nocturno No 20 refleja la desilusion del artista y la melodia tiene una tonalidad triste, pero delicada que se desvanece suavemente hacia el final, fielmente expresando el fin de un amor, o una vida Claudio Arrau ... By: acsdersg. on 19 Jul 08, 08:00:44 Claudio Arrau tocando este Nocturno, es uno de los momentos más altos en la historia de la música, por no decir del hombre. Si bien es cierto que el milagro, de por sí, es el nocturno de Chopin, damos gracias que existan hombres como Claudio Arrau, que no interfieren en el temple de la obra y que logran, simplemente, exponerla del modo adecuado. No soy un gran erudito en los asuntos de la "música clásica", pero quien tenga buen oído, sabrá que con Arrau este nocturno suena de "otra forma"... the last to words ... By: schumannetudes. on 16 Jul 08, 23:54:23 the last to words you wrote show you dont no what you are talking about "lang lang" Who is this one ... By: Ernesto7608. on 13 Jul 08, 21:06:32 Who is this one with the very bad touch, Perspectiva? You just forgot to turn on you hearing aid, that's all. Or perhaps you are listening to a different audio with your other ear, without realizing it? Cold interpretation, without emotions? Now I wonder what planet you came from, if you are from this solar system. For those people who like Valentina Igoshina's interpretation, chances are that they like this one equally well. And vice versa.

By: IVlr3vil. on 05 Nov 08, 10:42:07 I like his facial expressions, it's very natural. How can you not smile if you're enjoying the music? A note, even Andre Hamelin makes facial expressions. Both Yundi and Hamelin are natural at it. Lang Lang blows it out of proportion, but it cannot be helped if you read his book. It explains the banging and the smiling. Lang Lang's consistency tells me it's his style. It kind of works for some and not for others. Holy Shit! Liszt ... By: zackaroosky1. on 30 Oct 08, 01:09:30 Holy Shit! Liszt aint got shit on this.

I've had several piano teachers through my life and NO ONE of them cares about facial expressions etc. (though I don't express two much, but that's not the case). When I listen to that music I look at the: TECHNIQUE, SENSIBILITY, RYTHYM, READING, understanding the composer and many other criteria, BUT NO ONE RELATED TO 'drama' etc. U all seem to know much about music but I think there is no argue: IS MUSIC FROM HEAVEN BRILLIANTLY PLAYED well i agree, ...

Awful lot of grace notes to make sense of in this one, but Yundi's interpretation doesn't seem to make any major flaws. Doesn't unravel the mystery of the grace notes, but not a bad approach either.

I disagree about ... By: Grigor99. on 17 Oct 08, 21:03:42 I disagree about music only being for the ears. Why would anyone want to go to a live concert then?

By: ohvg61. on 13 Sep 08, 07:43:53 no,no. he is not into the music, he only wants us to believe he is, this is bad acting, nothing else. this seems to be some kind of a "trend" of today, and somebody who is acting like that will NEVER become a truly great pianist and can not be taken seriously. just think about it: NOONE from the great pianists of the past were doing this, Horowitz, Rachmaninov, Rubinstein etc., does that mean they were not into the music?...it has to be a reason for that, no? ;) You are a great man ...

By: PianoMan62249. on 19 Aug 08, 21:35:40 I honestly don't see what everyone is talking about. I don't find his facial expressions annoying in the least. In fact, I think it adds very much to his performance. And he plays this beautifully, which is incidentally my favorite piece of music ever written (I think it's the masterpiece of masterpieces)...and after all, that's really all that matters; finding the soul of the piece and conveying it.

Not to be predjudice, however I see a striking comparison between both pianists, not only being Oriental but emotionally inept as well. I feel as though I'm watching the Thomas Kinkaid of pianists. Do the facial expressions get any more kitch? Furthermore, the overall performance comes straight from the books; it completely lacks individuality.

However, I think that the rubatos and stretches of the tempos are a bit overdone. There is huge difference in Blechaz's who I actually was very impressed with. I totally agree with the jury after listening to this piece. I wonder about some of the others' playing who were good but did not get through some rounds.
