@@dariovannozzi There are better ones than ABM. Better piano sound players like A.Rubinstein E.Gilels W.Kempff R.Lupu and the real titans G.Sokolov V.Horowitz M.Pletnev ABM not the greatest never was
@Michael Zhu Zimerman is the best today. My personal favourite is Dinu Lipatti - the good die young, they say. Cortot. Cassadesus. Richter. Ashkenazy. Barenboim. Argerich. Fleisher. Kissin. Polliini. Grimaud. ....
È commovente, sognante, dolcissima, le idee sono sublimi, il contrappunto e l'armonia di grande profondità. Dopo aver ascoltato una musica simile si è totalmente appagati. Bravissimo Michelangeli. Sublime Chopin.
Countless decades ago this piece was one of my earliest experiences with hearing classical music. So good to hear it again, and especially played by this nearly-forgotten pianist!
I love Chopin, and maybe this one most of all. It's a jewel. I love his bigger works, too, but this one is so lyrical it's hard not to be moved by it. Wonderful playing by Michelangeli
incredibile, inarrivabile. michelangeli polverizza qualsiasi possibile concorrenza di qualsiasi altro pianista che osi anche solo lontanamente avvicinarsi a questo brano, riuscendo a calibrare ogni nota in un empireo sonoro inarrivabile a chiunque. strepitoso.
+Paolo Franceschi 1 il fanatismo uccide ogni forma d'arte ... 2 durante la mia lunghissima vita avevo sentito più di 100 pianisti ... 3 la metà erano semplicemente meravigliosi come attori e interpreti . 4 Michelangeli era tra di loro ma non era il migliore ... 5 come si può dire chi era il migliore ?!... è semplicemente assurdo .
Ce qui distingue cette interprétation de la majorité c'est le ton lumineux, léger et joyeux que Michelangeli donne à cette musique. On est loin du ''marchand de sable'' qui nous comble d'un sommeil lourd et engourdi. Ici, la musique prend tout son sens. Merci!
@@lagunagreg4019 No. What they are saying is that this performance is sublime. Chopin is elegant, this performance is stylistic in a Chopin-esque way. Subtlety is key.
@@moomoo7437 - subtlety? Please, you don't even know what that means. Michelangeli's Chopin sound just like his Prokofiev, which sounds just like his Brahms which sounds just like his Beethoven. Talk about stylistic differences! Oh my God! They should all sound different, like when Cortot plays them, or Gilels just to begin with. Or when someone like Lipati does Chopin, now there was a real SUBTLE artist who barely made a rubato but gave everything the perfect lilt. Your comments just confirm again that the public has no real taste or discernment, and actually can't hear anything.
@@lagunagreg4019 What makes you such a great figure of authority? You're just as much of a RU-vid comment dweller as anybody else. Go be a snob somewhere else. The classical community already has far too many.
I only recently discovered Michelangeli’s playing Chopin. With him the feelings don’t pour out. They are there but they are held back and you have to listen for them and when you find them it is the tension and the excitement. Very different from Rubinstein. I’m in love with Michelangelo’s Chopin (and Rubinstein’s and Arrau’s and Cortot’s and Solomon’s. Each great in his unique way…)
I agree with you in the sense that Claudio Arrau was a genius. A discreet man at the service of music and the composer, far away from "divismo". Maestro Arrau was divine! What a sweet and wonderful sound he got from the keyboard.
i've listen to a lot of different executions of the Berceuse - yet an incredible masterpiece of music on its own - but the rendition of this specific recording by Benedetti Michelangeli remains unsurpassed, in my opinion - with all the respect the other pianists deserve. Everything must have been perfect on that day, in that space and in that time: the pianist - of course he was :) - his blood pressure, the room temperature, piano position, voltage at microphones, ... And magic happened.
@@benbroverman5150 Yeah he was a perfectionist :p probably an exaggeration though that's why his piano was always perfectly tuned and you barely ever hear him making a mistake.

The more I see you. The more I am moved by your power. CHOPIN. FOREVER ALIVE. 12th December 2022 Michelangeli is a master and a beautiful performer. Thank you for your grace, integrity and love of the pianoforte. I will always remember you in my world of dreams. Today and always. Lady K x
So beautiful. To my (untrained) ear this piece is an extraordinary blend of simplicity (anchored by repetitive left hand) and complexity esp as the song progresses and right hand expands into intriguing harmonics & patterns.
absolutely amazing, crystal clear, with the left hand perfectly balancing the right hand, not too much not too little. I make an exception by commenting negative on Lisitsa - I agree with CarborundumKid.
Jerome Robins' ballet "The Concert" begins with this lovely berceuse and each dance is after various pieces. It has led me to fall in love with Chopin pieces like this. Some purists don't like "The Concert" but it is a wonderful comic ballet set to Chopin pieces for the piano. The "Mistake Waltz" is incredibly clever dancing and so funny.
Arturo Benedetto Michelangeli aveva un dono fuori dal normale, tante volte ascolto queste meraviglie e ringrazio il Signore per averci donato questa musica celestiale. Rip Maestro
I wish my parents would have played this piece in ABM's Interpretation to me when I was a child - and I would have had always happy dreams. :-) It's simply the best (pedal, tempo, melodies, everything). I love it.
Гениальный пианист,слушаю тысячу раз и убеждаюсь!Конечно, наш Светик Рихтер тоже!Вот их два,даже великие Софроницкий и Юдина все же чуть им уступают!Глен Гульд хорош в Бахе,Шенберге.
Although sometimes people speak of Michelangeli's coolness or objectivity, I find this performance full of expression, including a treatment of the opening theme that beautifully exploits the potential sadness in the music.
Perchè ci sono 15 non mi piace? Se ad una persona non piace Chopin o la musica classica perchè deve venire a rompere? Io di certo non vado a vedere fedez e mettere non mi piace. Se una cosa mi fa schifo non ci vado proprio!
Absurd comments, better this better that. All pianist mentioned are real titans. At such level of mastery all we can legitimaly express are personal preferences, get over it
An unsentimental rendition of ever I heard one. Masterful though it is. I feel Chopin would have been sentimental as hell playing it. What I’d give to witness his own version. For anybody interested here a link to Kempff’s version. And if anyone knows of a more magical version than his please let me know! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LDWgR0tAkDA.htmlsi=Z--omAPH585npsOa
