After watching the entire competition, he was fascinating at the first rounds and just went in crescendo. For me he was the clear winner by far. Embodied Chopin’s lyricism.
I heard him play during the third round. To my ears, his performance stood out amongst others who played, including the first prize winner who played in the same piano. I lok. forward to hearing his performance live soon
Magnificent. This is one of the greatest nocturnes Chopin composed. This performance is is unique in terms of tempo, voicing and clarity. Claudio Arrau would be loved it.
Well, nice touch on the keys, but unfortunately wrong tempi in the various passages. As a result too ponderous, loses content, is even torn apart. It later becomes nothing more than so to say incoherent notes in harmonic bliss. But these works by Chopin demand the utmost sensitivity and profundity. This requires a very special human maturity..--
@@nicolasiovu6584 I haven't found anyone who plays this piece sensitively enough. As I'm a trained pianist myself (but haven't yet faced the world...), I could practise this piece, but indeed don't really have the time at the moment. I'd love to a little later. The problem with this interpretation is that the tempo suddenly remains too steady and ponderous. Too static. Changes in volume also need to be much more concise. And everything must be often much more cautious, much finer in volume. Almost every bar of this work is a harmonically heightened, delicate surprise in its facets, extreme subtlety... Chopin is the absolute pinnacle of "primal romantic" musical subtlety and the older he got, he added even a plus in his already well-known super high emotional sophistication... As described above, must be brought out acoustically at the piano... It requires an enormous tonal sensitivity + also special sense for "surprising swings of passion", correspondingly rousing, brief tempo changes, especially in this work, if you know what I mean... Any kind regards
Meh. Young pianists today play so coldly and analytically these days. It barely seems like Chopin. This is a very romantic piece, yet he plays it like he is doing his taxes.Where is the passion and unfulfilled longing?
I do so wish the pianists had a wonderful Schimmel K230 for such works. It has the perfect European grand piano sound, in my opinion, and is just right for recital works. Yeah, get a 9 footer for the symphonic stuff!! duh... LOL!!!
He was so far the most expressive and interesting pianist in the competition.
I really liked Kai-min Chang as well, but this dude was excellent.

This nocturne is an opera in itself, my favorite of the collection.
The F# minor Nocturne as well!
My favorite pianist from this competition! Looking forward to following your journey as the new living legend!
Martin Garcia Garcia is the best pianist , and should win 1 prize.
He won 3rd 🥉

His music is always so connecting sound to sound like singing
優しくて、繊細で、ゆったりと夢の中にいるような心地よい気持ちになりました🥰
I know and agree ❤
¡Maravilloso nocturno en esas manos! ¡Qué forma bella de cantar el piano! Conmovedor...
I know😊
Pan Fryderyk Chopin jest dumą Polski! Cały naród jest z niego dumny! 🇵🇱
I agree 😊
Las dinámicas y los colores preciosos. Simplemente maravilloso 😍
Yup

Fraseggio e suono bellissimo!!! grande Martin
👍
Bravo
Как неожиданно полифонично звучит!
Yeah
For some reason I think this nocturne sounds better when played a tad faster. Moravec sounds great in this. A bit more dramatic and expressive.
BRAWO !!!
YAY 😀
A new Sokolov!
Yeah
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🤩
do these pianists get money for these videos?
I bet they don’t, but they should!! But they get a lot of publicity in return??
Maybe?
呢台好啦
Haha I just typed randomly in Chinese mode

Hi, I’m interested in your point here. Could you link me to a performance of this piece you find captures what Chopin wanted?

I'm sorry, Martín. This interpretation is intolerably slow.
True
„Lento sostenuto” :)

Obviously you weren't listening. His performance was exactly the opposite of what you described.
Agreed
Worst interpretation of this nocturne, in my opinion. Not to mention the several mistakes
😐
Seriously 😒
This piano sounds bad...
