This encore came at the end of a two hour recital in London's royal proms concerts. He was the first solo pianist to have a sold out standing room only concert at the proms.
This is the best interpretation of the piece by far. He is transported by the music, he barely looks at his hands, it’s something wonderful to see him play live in concert 🥰
@danielaprettygirl Yes, up to a certain point. When you'll learn how to read a partition you'll notice that there are several indications as how the composer wants it to sound such as the intensity of the notes, the pedals, the pauses and the overall flow of the notes. Having a good ''ear'' has nothing to do with this. A good ear means you can identify single notes as well as chords relatively easily. Hope it helped ;)
No one since Rubinstein and before, except Chopin himself, plays Chopin better than Kissen. Pure genius and totally delightful. Before this I watched Lang Lang play it. It was extremely good but compared to Kissen, it was more comical. Once said is not enough. Kissen is the best portrayer of Chopin today.
I love the key of Ab, but I don't subscribe to any sort of Russian tonal mapping or have perfect pitch. I just think I like what Chopin wrote in Ab and somehow that rubbed off on me.
puede ser que hayan grandes interpretes de la musica clasica pero veo pocos compositores que creen música que doblegue el alma y le haga tocar el cielo, me temo que todos se limitaron a tocar lo que compusieron otros y se olvidaron de crear, que lastima
after listening to many interpretations, how can someone who doesn't play piano know how the original partitura is? how can I know who is closest to Chopin's original? it's my curiosity to know how he wanted it to be
can someone who plays paino answer me? I don't know anything about playing an instrument,I don't even know to read a partiture but I have good ''ear'',I can make the difference among interpretations and I don't understand how different pianists can play different, I mean some make many pauses,some play the same part softly and others not that soft. Is it possible to know how the composer wanted it?
i'm not sure but i think he left a few notes out of the piece... and his interpretation of the mood of the piece isn't that accurate compared to lang lang or horowitz.
