Listen to the full performance by Liu at The 18th International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition: • BRUCE (XIAOYU) LIU - N...
Interpretation is what gives music life, and in this video we take a look a two strikingly different interpretations of Chopin's Nocturne Op. 27, No. 1 in c-sharp minor. Both Maurizio Pollini and Bruce Liu are winners of the Chopin Competition: Pollini in 1960 was the first winner of the competition from outside of Poland and the Soviet Union, and Liu in 2021 is the most recent winner. Have Chopin's directions in his music changed so drastically in 61 years? Of course not. If Pollini and Liu competed against one another, who would have won? Who can say? And *does it really matter*? One of the beautiful things about music is its ability to come to life in so many different ways. Every great musician has countless reasons behind their interpretive choices, and while we as listeners can have a favorite, our favorite should never diminish the mastery of any other artist.
Thank you to the Chopin Institute for allowing the use of the footage of Bruce Liu in this video.
