Charles Richard-Hamelin - Piano Concerto in F minor Op. 21 (final stage of the Chopin Comp. 2015) 

You and me both, I'd be terrified even if she were watching me normally

qwertyytrewq hahaha

Lol

jajajajaj

And Garrick Ohlssohn is sitting right behind her. Talk about playing under pressure! 😎🎹

Thank you very much

Essentially doubled the work for the orchestra... they must've been pissed af

@@PianoWorks1 or maybe happy to not play the same concerto again

@@PianoWorks1 i mean what are they getting paid for though? Its literally their jobs and i'm sure they all enjoyed playing with a pianist like Charles

i don't get it, did they play the wrong one or what?

@@zwykyziomek2570 He was the only one to choose concerto in F minor, so the orchestra needed to prepare themselves for two pieces instead of only one ;-) presumably

Thế còn những người không đạt giải thì sao

+D Johnson Yes, he did, but just short. ;-)

+D Johnson He won Silver (2nd prize) AND the best sonata prize !!! Congratulations Charles Richard-Hamelin !!!

+D Johnson He won the most money

Truth and Life money doesn't matter, hard work does.. money will roll in if you work hard.

how much money do you get when you win the competition?

i agree

I feel sorry for that poor Yamaha! No doubt Hamelin gives a taut and muscular performance. Musically quite compelling.

do they choose the piano they perform on? i thought that kate liu and sung-jin cho played on steinways

Depending on the recording studio, performance hall, recording budget, vendor and sponsors etc - there could be a Steinway of various length, Yamaha, Bosendorfer or Kawai or many others.

They could choose among four pianos (each from every brand which provided such for the competition). If you want to learn more about choises of the participants, see pl.chopincompetition2015.com/news/9d8f4a2b-2942-4d8a-bc6a-c438fec17d82

I think Charles Richard Hamelin must have been the winner. His interpretation of the second movement is perfect, beautiful, he reminds me a lot of Zimerman, they are great interpreters of Chopin.

맞아요 ㅠㅠ 조성진님 때문에 준우승 한듯 해요 ... 샤를리샤르님도 실력 대박인듯 합니다

The E minor one is more refined and more difficult. Just because of its difficulty one would have a better chance at winning with the E minor. The only problem with it is that because Chopin wrote it after the F minor one (the numbers are swapped because of publication), he wanted something more refined, which he got at the cost of his more youthful expressions, so the E minor takes less interpretation than the F minor does. Also, the orchestra for the F minor absolutely sucks. I played it a couple times and I can't tell you how annoying it is especially in the second movement. It's just a tremelo for like 5 whole minutes. The melodies may be great but the harmonic balance is just bad and the execution was just bad as well. Chopin did way better at his orchestration in the E minor, despite it sounding very dry compared to the F minor. It was purposefully made simple to fit with the sound of the piano. Also, in the opinions of many professional pianists, the E minor is also much more virtuosic without sounding so. That's actually one of the big reasons why no one plays it except in the Chopin Competition. It sounds easy while being super hard so it's not worth the effort if the audience can't be wowed.

Interesting. I've been listening to both for about a year, and place the piano score for the F minor up there with my top Chopin works to be honest. But about the orchestration... you are completely right. After listening to a lot of great Concertos such as Tchaikovsky's piano and violin, and Rachmaninoff, the orchestra in this Concerto barely does anything. But since it is Chopin, I am completely fine with it, and accept that he wrote the orchestra as more of an accompaniment, rather than making it one half of a whole. The piano score in the first movement is just so captivating (12:08 being one of my favorite parts). Not to mention how indescribably beautiful the Larghetto is. If you haven't already, Krystian Zimerman's recordings of both Concertos are two of my favorite music recordings of all time; he put so much love into them and drew out their full potential. No one has to compare these two concertos with Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, or Rachmaninoff. I see it as more of him being himself. Since he didn't care for orchestrating, and was obsessed with the piano. They also make me think of his letters and how he describes his love for Poland and the countryside, as well as just his youthfulness. While Tchaikovsky 1, and Rach 2 may be large scale quality concertos with very good orchestration and good piano scores, Chopin stands apart from them. The F minor will forever remain one of the deepest concertos I know.

apparently, no-one's ever one with the F min and it has become something of a superstition among participants that in order to win you need to play the E min

​@@sabinhong0307 If you look at the results/turnout of the 1st Chopin Piano Competition _on Period Instruments_ , you will find that _almost all of the finalists_ performed the F minor concerto, _and_ the top three (I believe there was a tie for the 2nd prize) performed this concerto. There's a chance that this performance by Charles Richard-Hamelin is what brought this concerto back to the competition stage. Ah, and I watched and heard him play in Toronto in 2019 from the third row of the Koerner Hall orchestra level near the middle (quite something to be a mere 10 or so meters from the person who taught you to love the B Minor Sonata), and as far as I can remember, his fourth ballade was _fantastic_ .

멍멍콩이 Dang Thai Son won with the F minor concerto in 1980 but he is the only one.

진짜 이 분 정말 잘 했는데 ㅎㅎ 소나타3번은 최고였어요, 솔직히 1등 해도 할 말 없는데 ㅋㅋ

인정합니다...1번이 테크닉적으로도 2번보다 어렵고 곡의 길이 자체도 더 길어서 콩쿠르에서 어필할만한 곡이라는 말도 있지만 2번이야말로 쇼팽의 느낌이 좀 더 살아있는 느낌같아요...!! 아믈랭.. 이분 정말 잘하시더라고요ㅠㅠ... 담백한 터치

진짜 이분이 1등해도 할말없다 ㅋㅋㅋ 몇몇곡은 1등감인데진짜

갠취니깐요..ㅎㅎ 그래두 이런 댓글보면 기분좋음요.. 음악 쌀앙하는분같아서요..

lyn peca 이분이 친 폴로네이즈 5번도 짱 ㅠ

It is all in the family!, his Dad is a very accomplished pianist!!

Agreed. He rushes a few passages and his trills are a little heavy at points. But overall, a really REALLY good interpretation. There are moments here that are truly sublime and his own.

+Grzegorz Pieniek oui et c’est lui qui aurait dû obtenir le premier prix au dernier concours Chopin de Varsovie .. à mon sens.

+Francis Fawkes It seemed to me that Hamelin plays fast, and this makes it very impressive sometimes (third sonata for example).

정말 그렇죠. 엄청 섬세하면서도 힘있음. 임동혁이 2번 칠때랑은 또 다른 느낌. 2등 할만 함.

+Chantal Dionne c’était le meilleur, vraiment .. lui accorder le 2ème prix était injuste à mon sens.

Je vous crois...

Son interprétation était vraiment très bonne, mais celle de Seong Jin Cho du 1er concerto était à mon sens encore meilleur. Je pense en plus que le choix d'un Steinway aurait été meilleur pour cette pièce ...

Paul Green Chopin's F minor is defo an underrated piece.

+Julia Chadrysiak To me too!

+Julia Chadrysiak The winners announced are Cho in first place, Hamelin in second, Liu in third, Lu in fourth, Yang in fifth(and he would be higher if he didn't screw up his last movement in the Concerto). I am sad that Nehring did not win the Concerto prize...I thought he was near perfect in every way.

+Julia Chadrysiak same for me, the winner he is.

Liu, Lu and Yang must.practice.more. Thought I was reading the menu at a Chinese takeout.

Ur so serious ㅎㅎ
