Died too early. His son, Bunin, the winner of Chopin Competition. I don't see much difference from many other contemporary young virtuosos in terms of technique. But more relaxed... that's what I wanted...
Everything is there, artistic intelligence, spontaneous poetry, a sense of architectural structure. One of finest accounts of the 4th ballade I've ever heard. Was Neuhaus ever allowed to tour in the West?.
In spite of the fact that I prefer Cortot's interpretation over all, here Neuhaus shines as a precious gem. Sad that nowadays young pianists seem to have forgotten this kind of great lessons...
I can never seem to tell whether Krystian Zimmerman is part of the old generation of old pianists or new pianists, but I believe, without a shadow of a doubt, his rendition of all the ballades, let alone the fourth, are all absolutely fabulous. And in fact he is my inspiration and at 15 I decided that by 30 I wanted to have learnt all the Ballades and 9 months later I’ve learnt the first Ballade, but this one will definitely be the most challenging. I wish you a good day Adriano, and sorry I went off on a tangent, beautiful music makes me do that sometimes 😆.
Non guardo i capelli, anche se li vedo . Ascolto la Ballata e , suonata da lui : così forte e dolce insieme, ma non patetica sempre o esageratamente energica sempre, vorrei poter vedere non i capelli, ma la sua anima ! Comunque, in mezzo alla varietà di tocco ,di intenzioni , di colore, la intuisco , mi piace e mi persuade !
While this is great, I’m still gonna say my favourite interpretation is zimmerman’s not just because of the playing but also the quality of the recording.
Zimerman's recording(s) stand out as the gold standard of Chopin's ballades, almost objectively perfect interpretations. Other recordings might shine with their own originality and interpretations, but Zimerman will always be my go to for these ballades.
@@luisandraschnik3001 they're both good but I find stanislav's playing more authentic to the piece, especially the last 20 seconds, I never heard anyone playing like him
@@MarcNTC jajaja 😄 for the same reason I prefer Richter's version , there are pianists for all "tastes" (I am a spanish speaker, I don't know if this literal translation makes sense ...). I am not sure which one is the historically informed performance if exist Did yo heard Ravel' s Bolero conducted by the Ravel self? It is very diffent with the rest of all performances in tempi. Thanks a lot, and glad to talk with you.
this is one of the best interpretations of ballade n 4, however, there is no such thing as correct speed, if I want to play faster I can, it's my interpretation watch murray perahia playing ballade n 4
Another video ruined by ill-placed ads. Perhaps the many times I've listened to this before were on another site, but having an ad 3 minutes into this beautiful work is jarring. It's also disrespectful to the artistry of both Chopin and Stanislav Neuhaus. I dread hearing the rest, fearing that another ad awaits at some other inopportune moment. It's enough to make me long for the return of the Bolsheviks.
@@thomassnider6691 Yes, all the ads you see during RU-vid videos are inserted without the uploader's say-so. I think large-scale uploaders may have some say in the matter but private individuals have no control whatsoever over what adverts get shown when.
