I’ve heard so many piano titans performing these majestic sonatas through my life! And I always considered Arthur Rubinstein to be the best of them all. Still do. But Wolfram gives such crisp and unique interpretation of them- like wrapping a very old, beautiful diamond into a new setting, enhancing its uniqueness! I “met” Wolfram Schmitt- Leonardy on RU-vid a little over a year ago. I was smitten by his mastery, playing Brahms, Schubert, Mendelsohn and Schumann. He was IT! The first time I heard his Chopin, I didn’t know what to make of it: all the fluff, over sentimental or just for show off stuff was not there! His Chopin sounded the way, Richter and Ashkenazy used to play. It’s a treasure!

Refined and powerful performance of these Masterpieces of the Romantic Piano Sonatas production, especially the magnificent Third one, so passionate, and not only...Thanks for the beautiful Sonata for Cello, another jewel by Chopin!
Chopin is one of the few brillant classical pianist ,his virtuosity and dexterity with technicality can be felt in his sonatas. Though at times difficult to grasp the avenue he's undertaking but got to admit there' refinements in his plays
Amazingly Chopin had very small hands! And Beethoven had very short and stubby hands, same goes for Mozart.They all were pianists -virtuosi, never the less! There is an Atlas-catalog of pictures, that is compiled of photos of most famous pianists-composers’ hands. The photos were made of gypsum molds, same way as postmortem masks. I was flabbergasted, when I looked through that book.
Vou te dizer, concordo em partes pois essa dificuldade de entender o caminho que se toma só vi nas sonatas até agora, e Chopin não é só virtuosismo nutre outras coisas ué você falou, se você ouvir outras obras como poloneses, baladas entre outras sem serem as sonatas você perceberá o contraste de romântico doce calmo/virtuoso desesperado dramático a genialidade ritmica entre outras coisas que aprecio muito em Chopin que não se pode apreciar em suas sonatas.
@@stonefireice6058 na verdade Beethoven não era bom pianista, mas maravilhoso compositor, e Chopin tinha pouca força (ele era pequeno) mas tinha um controle e gradação rítmica surpreendente além de cantabile e seu famoso rubato e declamação calma.
@@stonefireice6058 Yes, pretty amazing. And Liszt is said to have been at the other end of the spectrum, with gigantic hands, and wrote piano music most pianists simply can't play the way he wrote it.
Thank you for this download recording BC. I'd not heard the first sonata before; a brilliant piece of piano wizardry quite intriguing and very youthful in spirit. WS-L is a Chopin master. The other artists performed well too. The Cello sonata is both dramatic and lyrical alternately: beautiful. The scenic tour was nice enough, but would have preferred to watch the artists performing.
That first sonata is amazing. such a great work for a young pianist composer who was only 17 when he wrote it. Truly amazing.As for the 2nd "sonata", everyone loves it the best, but it really isnt a true sonata---The 1st movement is in a sonata form, but the 2nd movement is a combination of a scherzo and a nocturne, and then you have the funeral march, and an insane etude for the 4th movement. So #2 isn't a sonata--------but still great music.
If No. 2 is not a sonata, then Liszt's b minor isn't like plenty others, the last sonatas of Beethoven a case in point. The B section of the scherzo is a trio, not a nocturne which anyway if it were, would not be able to stand up on its own as one.
For the second you literally just described a different type of sonata. Those are literally the sections intended to make one. Its just a more complicated version, hes using almost all possible elements traditionally used, rather than the the simplified version. There is more than one way to make a sonata.
Extraordinaria música de Chopin Bach Schuman Mozart ?¡Cuántos músicos .! Llenaron de música al mundo ,se llenaba de vibraciones ! todos disfrutaban los sonidos los hacía mejores personas Beethoven el músico genio sordo Deben pasar música clásica en la radio ,La juventud necesita cambiar Los gobiernos deben tomar serias medidas en todo el mundo Estamos bajo el humo de Satanás arrojémoslo de nuevo a los infiernos cambiando la música ,Gracias por tanta felicidad mi piano está en la casa de mi nieta ,pues en el departamento es imposible ,,,
Bons intérpretes. Não é forma tradicional sonata de 4 movimentos e não 3. Diferente do que eu já ouvi de Chopin que é praticamente quase tudo, senti falta de muita coisa que gosto nele.
I think all these recordings are made on a home computer on which the owner is doing other things, like web browsing or email, at the same time. That would explain the constant background pops and clicks etc.
WSL is German and probably knows Brahms' opinion. Brahms was adamant that if one repeats the exposition it is only together with the Grave, which plays a key role in the development. Postscript Brahms prepared his own edition of Chopin's works, so he must have studied them carefully.
