He was an old man when he played this. I wonder what he might have sounded like when he was 23.... .... Wow... Rock star of his time. Became the President of Poland... Thank you Paderewski................ Moi
The idea he would have played better when he was 23 - of this is what you mean - us a fallacy. Usually, 23 year olds play with a lot of energy and little expression, they still have a long way to go before they become real great pianists.
Paderewski started his public career at the age of 28....so, at 23 he didn't even met Lechtivisky.....he was struggling with his lack of technique and hopes to became known as composer more as a pianist 🤔
I watched this movie about 50 years ago and it stuck with me ever since. I eventually learned to play it on the guitar years before finger tapping became popular. This man had me spell bound watching his big hands racing up and down the keys.
And he is!!!! I' m from Poland. I read the Paderewski diary. It' s amazing. life of a master. I dream about it today in Poland there were more such people.
Probably the best interpreter of all times! His recordings and soul will live forever. When I was “in the business”, I would listen to his recordings constantly to grasp as much knowledge as I could on interpretation before my practice sessions.
Unico, molti hanno suonato questo pezzo ma qui c'é tutto virtuosismo, sentimento, pathos e le note sono una cascata fluidissima di suoni magistrali. Una esecuzione stupefacente... dopo quai 80 anni e con una registrazione datata. Tuttavia non la cambierei con nulla di odierno, ultra tecnologico ma eseguito da altri...
Rany boskie co ten człowiek odczyniał-przesłuchałem Jego nagranie i Valentiny Lisitsa-bardzo dobrej pianistki - ta sama rapsodia-----------Panie Paderewski - chociaż PANA już nie ma, więc wszystkim jego potomkom najlepszego!!!!!!!!!!!!
Дань поклонения и уважения.... Браво... Счастье это слышать и видеть.... Браво и спасибо каналу ютюб... За такие возможности.... Поразительное время.... Возврата из прошлого... В наше время.... И для потомков.... Пример... Уважение, преклонение. Перед Божественной гениальностью.... Творца...... Поздравляю.....
A biographer said the following of Paderewski's mastery of the piano: "He could say of his instrument what Puget said of his marble: 'It trembles before me'."
Je suis entièrement fasciné par la beauté du toucher, la conduite de Phrase ...Quant à la sonorité d'erain, elle n'a d'égale que la virtuosité qui n'est pas simplement technique mais...magique. Merci encore.
Paderewski, piano playing Prime Minister...what a mouthfull........this is a tricky piece, I play it & nearly fell off ye old piano bench jumping around so much. (that would have been one for youtube.) I give him credit, a lot of credit, he did a good job of it, even though some technical flaws could be heard., I still liked it. Thumbs up to P.M. piano playing Paddy !
Extraordinaire,cette petite fille qui court vers lui pour lui montrer son admiration...époque hélas révolue. Quel génie,le Maître Paderewski,et il savait se servir d'un piano,tout cela aussi est perdu...absolument subjuguant,sublime.
Astonishing since so much of P's playing in old age sounded decrepit. This is remarkably proficient. The cadenzas in the Lassan were just brilliant. The repeated notes were crisp and clean. Hs octaves and fast moving chords were handled with aplomb. I've heard faster renditions but few I'd call better.
Wonderful! I also like Paderewski's playing of Chopin's Ballad #1 better than that of anyone else's. Horowitz comes close, but Paderewski is the greatest!
musket 0402 Would you kindly tell me where I can find his Chopin's Ballade No.1? Since, that piece is no where to be found in RU-vid but only No.4. I personally love Rubinstein's version of that piece so you may try if you haven't tried yet. Anyway, thanks for the reply!
I have it on an old vinyl album entitled Ignace Jan Paderewski Plays Chopin. It was produced by Everest Records Archive of Piano Music by transferring the piano roll recording to the vinyl disc. They say that from 1916 to 1925 almost every prominent concert pianist made piano rolls. Ballade No. 1 is #3 on Side B. Good luck with it, Dejan.
So clear why the people loved him so much. Despite his very prominent technical flaws, there is so much emotion in his playing, moves the soul. This is my favourite rendition.
Technical flaws ?! His technique is certainly perhaps unconventional but it most definitely not 'flawed' and his execution powerful and expressive. I' sorry I have to defend Paderewski here because his interpretation of fingering and performance gets the job done in a way far more captivating than any other rendition of this piece.
@@FrancisMaxino There are certainly technical flaws as by definition it means a "mistake" that deviates from the score. Of course, it doesn't really matter. Given the age, it's not surprising. Similar to Horowitz.
Yesterday I found and played the film this comes from, Moonlight Sonata, 1937. He plays this Liszt at the beginning of the film. He plays it as it almost doesn't deserve to be played, as a wonderful composition. He performs with such passion and unadulterated musicality. As though this is how it is supposed to be performed. He especially plays the circus-like bits as proper music to be played the right way.Especially the concluding bars, not dashed off but given weight. Utterly memorable Greetings from East Anglia in England
Boże Przenajświętszy! Co to była za wielka postać w naszej historii! Dzisiaj takich ludzi się już nie spotyka! Przypomnijmy, że ten wielki człowiek i patriota, prawdziwy bohater narodowy, dzięki któremu Polska odzyskała niepodległość po 123 latach zaborów, sfinansował w Krakowie pomnik upamiętniający zwycięstwo Królestwa Polskiego i Wielkiego Księstwa Litewskiego nad Zakonem Krzyżackim w bitwie pod Grunwaldem w 1410 roku. Na zlecenie Paderewskiego, w 1908 roku rzeźbiarz Antoni Wiwulski wykonał pomnik upamiętniający zwycięstwo wojsk polskich i litewskich w tej wielkiej i jakże ważnej dla historii bitwie. Monument został odsłonięty w 1910 roku w Krakowie, w obecności ponad 150 tys. osób (sic!) Paderewski wygłosił wówczas płomienne przemówienie o charakterze niepodległościowym. Był potem premierem polskiego rządu po odzyskaniu niepodległości w 1919 roku i reprezentował odrodzoną Polskę na konferencji pokojowej w Wersalu. Darował w swoim testamencie środki na ukończenie już w socjalistycznej, powojennej Polsce budynku Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego w Krakowie zwanego dzisiaj Collegium Paderevianum. Paderewski opracował i wydał dzieła wszystkie innego wielkiego Polaka i Patrioty, Fryderyka Szopena!
la interpretacion es hermosa y se puede sentir que en verdad amoba el piano y que hacia penetrar esa sensacion en la audiencia :) me quede muy contenta con este opus
porque es la primera vez que lo escucho ajajjaja me paso el link un amigo yo no conocia esta obra :) es muy hermosa y espero algun dia aprenderla a tocar
Yamila Saavedra Tuviste suerte que te la pasara un amigo, hacete novia de él porque ésta es la composición para piano más completa que existe. "algún día aprenderla a tocar" jajaja, adelante, el mundo es tuyo.
This is pure Paderewski, with all the good and bad things. Anyway, beside all the wrong notes, abuse of pedal, the sound and the speed it is still amazing.There are parts of this piece that not any pianist could reach.
He was Prime Minister AND Foreign Minister of the newly re-established Polish state which emerged post WW1 (he signed the Treaty of Versailles on behalf of Poland). He was instrumental in convincing President Wilson to support a sovereign Polish state, independent from their Russian oppressors, something that Wilson incorporated into his famous 'Fourteen Points' designed to reshape the post war world. As if that wasn't enough, he was also -almost as an aside -arguably the greatest pianist in the world. A great Pole, one of the very greatest.
A Guiomar Novaes me erguntou se eu conhecia Paderewsky Eu respondi que não. Ela então me disse "paderewsky tinha uma Poesia como nenhum outro teve" Foi em 1975 quando pela segunda vez eu fui em sua casa filar alguns conselhos da pianista. Era época de Natal.
Podpisanie konstytucji kwietniowej przez prezydenta Ignacego Mościckiego Historia konstytucji w Polsce - Polska stała się państwem konstytucyjnym w XVIII wieku, kiedy 3 maja 1791 obradujący od 1788 Sejm Czteroletni przyjął Konstytucję 3 maja.
Me cansé de escuchar interpretaciones desviadas de esta super-pieza, ésta es la mejor y punto final. El tipo hizo de todo en su vida y las pasó todas, eso es lo que veo cuando encara las frases. Y cuando hace 2:34 a 2:54, mama mía, este tipo es pesado, se me vienen todas las guerras mundiales a la cabeza, ésa es la diferencia con interpretaciones femeninas o de japoneses "virtuosos" que nunca salieron de su casa. Un consejo para los principiantes que escuchan esta versión es que no se dejen llevar por la gran cantidad de errores técnicos, son aparentes, éstos son compensados con resolución posterior; en otras versiones no los compensan, en ésta sí.
No es la mejor, y nunca lo será, porque ninguna pieza termina de perfeccionarse. Todo depende del interprete en como ejecutarla, y hay piezas como ésta que interpretes terminaron de perfeccionarla, como Vladimir Horowitz. (Te aconsejo escucharla) y si te consideras conservador, la verdad con tu opinion no lo eres.
Jaja. Horowitz era genial, pero es cierto que el arreglo que hizo de esta rapsodia fue más bien un desarreglo chabacano. Por eso solo lo grabó una vez, supongo.
@@jprata05 tiene razón, aunque tampoco desmerito, aunque tampoco desmerito la opinión de Mauricio Rodríguez, porque no hay comoaración con los "intérpretes" actuales tanto en calidad y sonido. Y ahora, hablando de Horowitz, prefiero escuchar a su amigo y compositor Sergei Rachmaninov interpretando esta pieza. Sin duda alguna, él se luce con esta pieza. Conclusión: 1. Tampoco me gustan las ejecuciones actuales. 2. La pieza jamás será perfeccionada en sí. 3. A parte de Paderewski, os recomiendo que escuchen a Rachmaninov. ❤😏 Es un grande. 🌚
If there was any artist I wish to have lived a thousand years, it's Paderewski. He would have killed neoclassical pieces, it is an eternal pity his talent could only live once.
As technically flawed as this performance is , I’ll take it over the likes of Lang Lang any fay of the week. Paderewski connects on a deep emotional and spiritual level like no other.
