I was listening to this while working on the computer when it livestreamed during the 3rd stage. But this Sonata played by Gadjiev made me drop everything and listen to it carefully. Words like breathtaking and profound fail to fully describe this
I listened to this interpretation in live streaming. On rare occasions I got so excited during a competition: I had tears in my eyes. By far the most beautiful sonata of this edition: thanks, dear Alexander.
Listening to it for the second time now, his performance really spoke to me in the livestream of the competition, and I'm convinced this was the most striking 24 minutes in the entire competition. He connected with the music, the audience, the livestream audience, the judges, the divine!
Folks, this is the performance that earned Alex the Final round. There was no other moment in the competition that left the audience enraptured to this degree. It was one of those "musical moments" that my high school band director used to long for: an almost holy or divine experience that no one can deny. It caught me completely off guard; and to a fault, everyone on the live chat was stunned. And it's not like this work is obscure or under-represented in the competition, rather the work of Gadjiev paid off to the benefit of everyone "in the moment."
@@organboi the response is appropriate to the work. This Chopin 4th movement isn’t a virtuosic display of emotion, it’s the cold wind through the grave stones.
First of all, thank you Gadjiev for this absolutely brilliant performance. Well deserved!!! Secondly, this prize just proves that Mr Zimmerman is an all-time legend - out of all the sonatas he listened to, he picked this particular one and rightly so, this is THE BEST sonata in b flat minor. Once again congrats and Grazie Gadjiev!!!
@@tralala827727 last edition Garrick Ohlsson said he would award the sonata prize to Kate Liu, so its more likely that Zimmerman chooses the award winner
My family always tells me that I am not given to crying about anything. This sonata moved something in my being, struck a chord. Thanks for this marvelous interpretation
great romantic drive excellent performace ,not to talk about the professional control . For my taste better than the Bb sonata of the winner that did not reach my soul. bravissimo great playing of a supreme masterwork. Technique control musicality and soul.
Shocking. This guy has his own voice, and it's a fantastic one. I never heard the finale like that before, where one can hear different voices among the unison going one. Glorious. And during the covid disaster, no less.
that final chord of the first movement was jaw dropping just the way he brought down the dynamic from the traditional loud final chord to a more rounded and subtle chord
15:21 The use of the sustain pedal to make the upper voices more colorful is absolutely genius... I've never heard this passage played this way before.
@@danorq That section does not contain pedal markings, so it's definitely more of an interpretive choice on Gadjiev's side. It does have a legato containing the whole right hand figure, but that's not a pedal instruction.

Брависсимо !! Вся жизнь Великого Шопена прекрасно изложена в этойм творении гениального польского Музыканта .Огромная сердечная благодарность прекрасному исполнителю Гаджиеву БлагоДарю
какая вдохновенная игра!! Каждый звук живой!! слов нет !! Bravissimo!!!какой огромный талант!! Щедрый дар от Бога Искреннее сердечное спасибо! Великий музыкант и блестящщийпианист !!!
Spannende Aufführung dieser romantischen und fein komponierten Klaviersonate im relativ freien Tempo mit überzeugendem Anschlag und dramatischer Dynamik. Einfach atemberaubend!
Kurczę, byłem dzień później na performensie Bruce'a Lee, ale to wykonanie jest debeściarskie. Hamowana pasja Gadjeva przemawia do mnie bardziej niż wyluzowana lekkość Brusa.
A truly magnificent performance! Everything seems judged and executed just right: tempo, phrasing, dynamics, rubato, pedalling, etc. I am sorry he was not awarded first prize, l take solace knowing that we'll hear a great deal of him in the coming years. After all, Trifonov also was a runner-up at the 2010 competition.

4:53 -5:45 this moment has always been sort of unnaturally played by other performers. Here it sounds very impressive.

Agreed. I just came here by accident, and I've been utterly transfixed and impressed. Major and unique talent.
That long crescendo in the Funeral March. Wow. I'm speechless
Acertou. The crescendo was beautiful...was just looking a bit more magic in the finale but I can see why he was given the best sonata special mention.
Absolutely brilliant and stunning. I have listened to many great pianists perform this Sonata, and Alexander is at the top
I listened to this interpretation in live streaming. On rare occasions I got so excited during a competition: I had tears in my eyes. By far the most beautiful sonata of this edition: thanks, dear Alexander.
So many breathtaking sonatas in this competition!
This is one of them!
I prefer Miya’s. But Alexander is super as well.
I loved Hayato's, so inspired
Probably the best b-flat minor sonata I heard in the past 10 years in this competition or anywhere else! Bravo maestro!

Among the top 3 in the competition!
I agree! The best!
Yes, i agree too! Ideal performance!❤

今回のショパンコンクールいちの
名演奏と、私は思いました。
ミスタッチなど、気にならない音楽が、そこには厳然とありました。
何で彼は三位だったのか？？
優勝を争えるほどの演奏だった。
三位ではなく、二位、ツィメルマン賞のソナタ賞を受けました。
順位に拘らず、いい演奏でした。
1位と2位の2人は同じ点だったらしいのでほんと生で聴いた感覚で決められたのかと
なので実質みんな1位だね
@@ビヨ-v7d 複数１位も有りで良いのになぁ・・・そうして欲しかったです。
これ、本当に素晴らしかったですよね。私もそう思います。
Every note touched my heart and made me cry. He is not only a great pianist, but also a philosopher.
Incredible performance, congratulations for winning the Sonata prize.

If I´m not mistaken it´s the jury who decides who is going to get the prize, not Mr Zimerman. He only provides the money. :)

Now I love the Kawai
Simply amazing. Passionate, mature and delicate at the same time. It was first performance in the competition that made me feel so moved. True artist!

Really wonderful!!! Specially the Marche funèbre played with so much depth!!! ❤❤❤
Congratulations Alexander!!! 😍🏅❤👏
so glad he won the sonata prize
Shigeru Kawai

Ok, so I'm not the only one ;)
@@gabrielapat2671 Gives it like an Impressionist flavor.
It is written in the score. But not many pianist are brave enough to embrace it. Even less in a competition 😮

Alex is my most favourite pianist in this Chopin competition, and the piano he chose is my new found favourite instrument.
S. Kawai was amazing!
Every note and dynamic had significance in this brilliant performance by Alexander! And yes, the Funeral March crescendo @ 19:45 that was unrivaled!
Since then,,, I hear to this performance at least twice a week. His sonata is #1!!

Aleksander Gadjiev is Slovenia’s best pianist. He played this sonata perfectly!

4th movement...just perfect

The best Sonate that I’ve heard!
Aleksander Gadjiew The Best.

とても詩的な演奏、この人にしか出せないような感性が感じられます

Najlepsze wykonanie jakie słyszałem.
My favorite player in this Competition.
FANTASTIC ! THANKS !

More than beautifully. 🌸💞🌸🕊🌸
wonderful sonata....
Absolutely the most brilliant performance ever👏
Piękna muzyka i wspaniałe wykonanie.. Dziękuję
The Lento section of the Scherzo is just totally sublime.
That decrescendo at the climax around 5:00 is out of this world.
Wow. What a performance
Wonderful Chopin touch
Very beautiful. Who else hears Ivo Pogorelich's sonata in Alexander's playing? I hear so much inspiration...
Agree, specially the first movement
Fantastico!
Grand pianist. Deserved second place 😍🤗
Absolutely beautiful!
He kicked it out of the ball park. It feels likes he's talking here
Gorgeous
This performance is so amazing, hope he will be more successful in the future.
Fantastic I emocionant
cenaze marşı bugğne kadar dinlediğim en iyi yorum .olağan üstü
Belíssima!
excellent
Chopin to najpiękniejsza spuścizna dla ludzkości.
Unbelievable! ❤💐🙏🕊️
ブラボー ！KAWAIでバッチリきめてくれましたね。
❤❤❤
Great performance ♬
Why was he in third place?
He is a person who can compete for victory.
He is in second place with Sorita
형용할 수 있는 단어가 없다
Aplausos !
Did he win first prize?? He's got a Pogorelich style courage.
캬….
Marche funebre
The piano is exceptional for a Kawai.
이건 엄청 잘 쳤네 ….
파이널 개던지고 번아웃 온듯 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Wspaniała interpretacja! Bravo Maestro!!
🔥🔥🔥😍
7:28
O my God!
I'm thinking God was smiling on this performance!
17:02
Mr. Hamelin?
Chopin was a pretty good composer. LOL.
Je crois bien que ce pianiste était le meilleur interprète parmi les autres candidats. Les juges sont injustes! Quel dommage ! !
17:01
Why is it so fast?
14:30
Did you copy Yulianna avdeeva????
His playing can't approach Chopin's spirit.
И кто будет это слушать?? Ха-ха-ха
