I share the same thought with you. Although not a musician, I can hear each note he plays without any rush or hurry, simply following the rhythm accurately with emotion embedded in the compositions by the composer. A really fine pianist!

plays from the heart .

It is such a pity that this hasn't been recorded with a better quality, especially for the audio. KZfaq ruins the sound at lower resolutions but you still can clearly hear how incredibly skilled he is. I am practicing this song myself, it is good inspiration. I have a lot to learn about how to use the pedals. Though I practice the piano myself I didn't know him before I watched this video, now I know that he was being considered one of the best pianists.

​@@JohnWWang He teaches us an important lesson: don't go for an incredibly high beats per minute or incredible trills but play it properly. .

Sokolovs is great also!

Good, mediocre or terrible. Usually I have heard the last one. Mozart shows the pianist and their pianism in the most naked and pure form.

私も同じように思います。 K.Zimermanのピアノの表現は、後世に伝えなければならない、大切な事象を説得力をもって、教えてくれているのです。 K.Zimermanがいなかったら、どうなっていたのでしょうか？

thank You so much my beloved Mr. Praguer!

How bout he who created it? Let us not forget...these pianist nowadays are just playing the music those in the past wrote down.

@@chadpresser7584 coz there too too many pieces waiting them to play, e.g. Mozart no need to play Chopin's pieces, lots of time he saved

@@chadpresser7584 Mozart,zglobiu și frumos!!!

@@chadpresser7584 Mozart,fără cuvinte.

Mozart would have played better because when he was born the piano didn't exist yet. Cello speaking back in the days

wow, part of me genuinely wonders if that would work ...

I’m here to ask about ur name... GIVE EARTH BACK TO DINASOURS????

@@lafs7967 XD

@Dustin Zhao 🤣😂

how old r u guys?, i dunno just wanna start a conversation..... in quarantine

Oh dear, you should open up and keep exploring ...

@@pakshunlee1472 Who would you say is better then? Every performance of Zimerman I have seen transcends virtuosity into the sublime. He is THE Chopin performer of our generation.

Not just the Chopin performer. This is the great thing about Zimerman, He can play Chopin and sound like Chopin, He can play Liszt and sound like Liszt, He can play Schubert and sound like Schubert, He can play Brahms and sound like Brahms. And all that seemingly effortlessley, He is simply THE Best pianist to ever have lived. I doubt there is anybody that could do better as there simply is no room for improvement here.

@@mateuszloniewski absolutely, this is unreal, anyone who plays piano classically and listens to this can relate to this comment. This performance is utterly insane, he's got so much control over the piano. It's assumed it's easy to get a piano to sound like that, it's so not, that level of detail is scary, every note he plays is attended to. This video is one of those videos that reminds me when I'm feeling good about my own playing that I will never be able to achieve the sound this man can conjure on a piano. It's not a negative thing either like jealousy. It's just absolute respect to him, the work to get to this level of mastery is only attainable by dedicating your entire life to it and for that I'm not willing to completely sacrifice but this guy has and this is where you end up, in pure heaven when you can play such beautiful music. Every time I watch him perform it's a truly humbling experience and tonight I've returned to listen to and watch this man's perfect technique deliver some of the most careful mozart anyone has ever heard. Thank technology for saving this performance for the future generations that are keeping the music alive. Also for anyone that disagrees, put decent ear phones on. Edit. I forgot to add that the reason I think his sound is so unique is that I'm sure its zimmerman that plays on his own action that he regulates, pretty sure I read it somewhere, it's what sets his play it apart imo if that's true, the thing with playing the piano is that you're always playing different instruments which feel totally different to your own piano which you practice on all the time, however he's playing on his piano by the way it feels and that's really important, some musicians struggle more than others with this.

@@justinnoble6506 can we just enjoy this for what it is and not make it a competition

Perhaps a pianist interprets a composer better than others, I am for Glen Gould when it comes to JS Bach, and Poliini for Beethoven. I know K330 well, and have listened to it many times by different pianists. But yes, Zimerman has a pace and feeling for the timbre of this piece which exceeds all recordings I have heard. I agree a superb performance. My problem is when I find perfection, then I can listen to no other. For K330 it now has to be Zimerman.

@@malcolmabram2957 I never liked Gould with anything, make sure to check out Olafsson for the Goldberg variations if you haven't already.

but not heard!

I also really like mitsuko uchida’s k545 second mov. performance very much.

Yes. This so Fully captures the spirit of Mozart.

toan nang yesssssssss!!!!!!

So funny!

Replying to you so you can see this video again

Ages like fine wine honestly he's still going strong

I completely agree with you, he is truly incredible, I’m listening to it while learning the first song.

When did he sing along? I didn't hear anything

Are you thinking of Glenn Gould?

He's your "textbook" pianist in my opinion. So refined and accurate. I want to see him live before he's too old!

I discovered him 40 some years ago after I purchased his Chopin concerto no 2. I used to listen to that record over and over again as a child. I still love this version the most of this concerto.

I discovered him looking for the best rendition of Mozart's "Rondo Alla Turca", and his was above and beyond anyone else's. Since then he's become my favorite for many pieces, including some where I always considered Horowitz (who remains my overall favorite) unsurpassable. Zimerman, Horowitz, Trifonov, Pletnev, Richter, those are my clear favorites across the ages. (Yes, Rubinstein is great but not always to my taste.)

대단하시네요.......저 이거 콩쿨곡인데

Nada Stojanovic pfft

Just like Lang Lang said in his Masterclass, this piece must be played with light fingers

*Played

Fixed, thanks!

Jamie Cooki3 Monster -playeded-

Agreed. A poet of the keyboard. Arguably the greatest living pianist.

get a new teacher -/

If your piano teacher has never heard of him...wow......you definitely need a new teacher who has a clue..sorry to say :/

I believe you should get a better one then

get a new teacher

I can’t agree more :)

Joondo Chang greatly said about how and why Mozart pieces are so hard to perfect it!!

Yes. Mozart is very challenging to interpret.

Good luck finding it! He is so picky about his recordings and has scorned youtube for posting recordings that he is not satisfied with. Notoriously perfectionist, not that I'm complaining!

+ David Rogoff The Pathetique, Mozart's 8th sonata is on KZfaq.

+Gerry Rains Could you share the links, please?

Martin Alvarado Zimerman never liked to have more than a few of his videos on KZfaq. This is his only recording of Mozart currently on KZfaq. However, all is not lost. Search for (do not include the quotation marks) "Mozart Grinberg", "Mozart Uchida Piano Concerto", "Mozart Pires", and "Mozart Kocsis-Rankj". I personally love " "Mozart Kocsis-Rankj K 448". Surprisingly enough it is very difficult for pianists to play Mozart. To quote a concert pianist friend of mine, "Too much music - too few notes". Mozart was the ultimate composer in terms of efficiency - there were no superfluous notes and that is what makes him hard to play.

+Gerry Rains I think you may have meant Beethoven's Piano Sonata No.8. Sorry to point it out. I always believed that Zimerman has the best interpretation of Beethoven's piano concertos especially with Bernstein and Vienna Philharmonic. Today it is the first time I found him playing Mozart's piano sonata. Sheer cheer and beauty!

Thank you king

Cough cough, Lang Lang lol

That's what Mozart called affectation. It would be particularly rude to do it to his music, as he despised it too. Zimerman is all class.

I agree

He is already blessed, thats the reason, he can play like this

+aimsoft82 hahaha. Is that pause in the score? :D

+Apetecan7 No. It's his own interpretation of it ;D

This movement is immensely beautiful. His playing brings a quality to it... So far haven't found a better version on KZfaq.. Something almost ethereal about his...

how can you not like Mozart......that's a crazy statement, dude.

Why? I simply am not a fan of the Classical period music, in general. I don't mean I hate it, but I don't like it, either. It fails to impress my emotions.

Neo Doryphoros I thought the same, but then i learned to listen to the pure beauty of Mozarts music. There is nothing comparable. I also like the other great composers, but mozart is the greatest in beeing simply harmonic. So forget that you don't really like the classical period and listen concentrated.

Jörg-Martin Rehder Thanks for the advice, and good for you... :)

Thanks... I've listened to quite a lot of Mozart until now and I find I like his more dramatic works better (the Requiem, the d-moll piano concerto, for example). It's not I don't like him at all, but something doesn't work for me. I find the freedom and honesty of feelings of the baroque period more appealing...

That's the best thing about playing an instrument, if you ask me. Enjoying it :-)

I think that's only natural, he is after all "at play." That's why Mozart is so appealing to me, he just seems to write like most folks breathe, no big deal.

오석동 I feel like this music is very happy music

He is said to be the best of all time

@@danielzhang7408 cap

Playing Mozart is like playing in a goldfish bowl - Vladimir Horowitz.

No ! Mozart was a child... he doesnt need perfection, but naivity- thats automatically perfect!!! So I think Mozart to be authentic must be played by a child...

@@sarahmeister1310 he was 27 when he wrote this sonata...far from a child, especially for the time.

Not Quite!

Sonatas de mOzart pera vi mil y piano

No !

You are very young , listen in first pianists 1960 ' Clara Haskil Lily Krauss ...

Krystian has been all around for more than 40 years and I hope many more to come. You seem to come from Mars if you didn’t know him.

Unfortunately, he does not have a lot of recorded Mozart :( He has performed much more of his Mozart live than is recorded. I wish he would record more of his Mozart and Beethoven.

+Ron Walker One explanation to this could be that Krystian Zimerman learned how to exchange the keyboard of a grand piano himself. (This was necessary for him when he grew up. It was much cheaper to do it yourself.)

This is not a transcription by any definition. Since the invention of the modern piano there are hundreds of great pianists who understand perfectly well how to use technique and musicality to make Mozart sound good and true. In this regard there is nothing special about Zimerman. That is not to say that he isn't a fine pianist by all standards.

@@MusikPiratCH exchange? For what? Another keyboard? It's very simple, just pull it out and slide in another one.

But their is no such best part because all is awesome 😅
