He looks like Bonnie Tyler with that hair

His hair are fabulous

And the eyebrows and turtleneck. Not sure whether to laugh or cry.

Excellent interpretation of the piece, though.

You've made me laugh, a miracle.

Kinda looks like Celibidache too

Lmao 😂

I hope not. This is a terrible interpretation of the score. There is no structure; this is bizarre. Go back to school.

@@78625amginE I beg to differ, however YT is a platform for diverse opinion.

He started out slow and almost uninvolved - but, oh...! he sure got my attention about 5 minutes in 😂!!!❤🎶

Oh yes

Что еще за " чувак" ? Это оскорбление!

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 😆.

@@LTD-Limited 🤝😉

I prefer Ashkenazy’s interpretation over all.

​@Josephus Miller I disagree. Zimerman comes nowhere near.

@@sagar1992 Not at all, IMO. I'm not saying Zimerman is not good (even if I honestly don't like him) but his musical ideas are very far from Neuhaus.

Very subjective....in 20 years you may think differently.That is not to say I disagree with you.

@@mackiceicukice It means corrected* speed - there was a previous upload of this video which had been artificially sped up - read the description.

@@tompianohotmail ok thanks.

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.

I quite like the wonkiness of this recording, adds charm I reckon

​@@finderrio I would fall asleep if I had to listen to Zimerman play these.

This is a great performance but you must hear Sviatoslav Richter

@@luisandraschnik3001 thanks for the recommendation, he's good but he played some parts too fast, I still prefer stan's version 👍

​@@MarcNTC Do you know tha S.Richter was a pupil of Stanislav 's father Heinrich Neuhaus? Sadly Stanislav dead too young at 53 years.

@@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.

Me too. Let's dress him up!! This piece outstanding. He owns it. I now understand the piece.

Il padre di Stanislav Bunin

Mostly he was taught and formed as a musician by Vladimir Belov, and a little by his father after.

Yessss

Check it out his live recording of the four ballades

@@ernesthoven 　 He is Bunin 's father .

@@tafun991 yes ..sorry

Mirá que Chopin escribió más de 20 Polonesas ...

I feel your pain. I can report, though, that ad-blockers can work very well. I was pointed towards one by a friend and it does the business very well.

@@rich8037 I see. So was this ad put in without your knowledge?

@@thomassnider6691 Yes, all the ads you see during KZfaq 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.

@@rich8037 That's unfair. I hope you're getting some of the loot. It's only right seeing how they marred your kind act of culture spreading.

Wtf

hahahahahhaha
