So delicate. Virna's interpretation touches the soul, Chopin would have probably loved it. Thanks for sharing. “Bach is an astronomer, discovering the most marvellous stars. Beethoven challenges the universe. I only try to express the soul and the heart of man.” ― Frédéric Chopin
Mozart is as pompous and proud as he is cunning and able. If we are to explore the divine and infernal, I would sooner call him a demon. Bach strikes me as much more of an angelical figure. He was very devout and his religious works are among his greatest masterpieces. Moreover, he is known for including Soli Deo gloria (S.D.G, meaning Glory to God alone) in many of his secular works as well as all of his religious ones.
Chopin's warmth, intimacy, melancholy and profoundness is simply unmatched. Not by Beethoven, certainly not Bach and Mozart, not by anyone. You get this "I am home" feeling by Chopin's music.
I'm honestly awe struck, what she did for the middle section was quite innovative, and something I haven't heard anyone do before. Definitely one of the best performances I've seen for this piece.
Let’s all be honest here, if you’ve watched this video once…then you’ve definitely watched it more than once. Enchanting isn’t a beautiful enough descriptor. Amazing performance.
Outstanding, very well done. What Chopin had done was to engineer this piece for a small hall just like the one Virna's playing in. He wanted the virtue of the piano, not necessarily what's written in the score to come through. The performing artist knows this instinctively and went right for that reality. Smart kid. Gorgeously done. The artist like the songstress Kiki Dee's got the music in her. Brought tears to my eyes, remarkably acceptable performance. Chopin was a stinker, he loved to add little mysteries to his music. Thanks so very much, this is a privilege to have enjoyed.
After listening to every possible version of this…. Me I determine this the best. I’m in no position to make the judgement but just from amateur ear alone it’s Miles ahead. Wow. The pauses and quickness into other notes is ineffably awe inspiring
Beautiful. Love this tempo, not too fast. There is also a steadiness, and simplicity, which I like, and not too much rubato. Her melodic lines and phrasing are long, and not in short fragments like so many people do.
A truly remarkable, exquisite performance of this "bluesy" nocturne by Chopin. Virna Kljaković seems to connect with the mood of the composer on a transcendent plane.
Listening to it, one cannot help but feel a connection to Chopin, a shared understanding of something universal and timeless. The piece starts with a melody in F minor that speaks to the soul, a haunting melody that evokes feelings of longing and melancholy. It's as though Chopin were penning a love letter to a distant memory, a lament to something lost but not forgotten. The melody flows like a gentle river, sometimes swelling with emotion, other times receding into quiet contemplation. Its theme is introspective, yet expressive, filled with a melancholic beauty that resonates deep within the listener. Then, a change of scene. The middle section shifts to F major, a brief respite, like a memory of happier times or a dream of a future that might have been. The melody here is more lyrical, more hopeful. It's a smile through tears, a glimpse of light in the darkness. But the F minor returns, and with it, the haunting theme, now deeper, more poignant. It's a return to reality, a settling into the understanding that the dream is just that-a dream. The piece concludes with a coda that seems to resign itself to the inevitable, a gentle sigh that lingers in the air long after the last note has been played. Listening to it is like reading a letter from a long-lost friend, a voice from the past that speaks to something deep within us all. It's a musical journey, a path that leads us not just through the notes on the page but through the corridors of our own hearts and minds.
I Love how how she dialects with her piece as if she were to sing the notes when fabricating a visual vowel but no sound, simply the paino...A Chopin healing

It seems most people here in the comments are forgetting something very fundamental to music. Music is supposed to be interpreted by the player. No two performances are like even by the same musician. I am sure you are aware in classical music the tempo marking are a range of BPM. So tempo and timing are best left to the player. Each performance is subjective and the objective is to captivate the audience. I personally prefer this interpretation to Kissing and Valentina's performances. The transition and tempo buildup suit the pieces much more. It seems everyone is far too stuck on "keeping it to the book" i bet Chopin would laugh at your face if you said that.
Music interpretation is subjective but not unquestionable. You just need to know what to ask. For example: why did she play repeated phrases exactly the same way without creating a contrasts with loudness or timbre? Is that based on the understanding of Chopin or it is just inconsiderate? And OF COURSE YOU CAN MAKE A COMMENT. THIS IS NOT CHINA.
Alright, that audience was BLESSED. Such an oddball, playfully-somber song. And you worked the hell out of those rushing sections. I haven’t been sure how to go about that mid-section that speeds up, but your ebb and flow seem like the best interpretation. Thanks for sharing, and good job being amazing.
Her ending phrasing is excellent. I’ve been looking around for different interpretations and this my favorite that I’ve been able to find so far. Art, is about perspective right? Beauty, is in the eye of the beholder right? So all of you guys quibbling about lack of emotion are behaving ignorantly because every artist portrays their feelings differently. If you’re going to critique use actual tangible areas of music. I bet if any of you played this piece some people would say “I just don’t feel any emotion” just like you said. Everyone has different ears and life experiences to create what they feel/experience through music. If this performance isn't for you, move on. If you must comment, make it constructive criticism, if possible, and make it a tangible, measurable critique. Otherwise, you're just stroking your egos.
A very skilled and incredibly passionate performance!! Since Chopin was a great orator and poet of the piano, to me the passion is the main ingredient to make it a great success and this beautiful and talented lady hit it out of the park! There are many great interpretations and this one is a shining example!! BRAVO!!!
this song always makes me have an existational crisis of joy, passion, sadness, hope, gratitude, love, fear, care, and creativity everything, self, selves.
Just gorgeous. I have been studying this piece and you have inspired me to keep practicing until I am satisfied that I have it performance ready. Thank you.
It’s so true ! Their bodies, their material parts are gone, but their souls are here with us, every time this notes are dancing in the air :) forever ! ^^
Virna, you inspire me and motivate me afresh. Being a piano student myself, at a community college, I am being given new determination once more. For some time I had been battling depression, having barely any energy to play, instead coping by using too much screen time. But very soon, the real me, the me that is the pianist, is REBORN!
It presses on my soul, listening to this. It's so beautifully written and preformed perfectly, so that you can feel every single emotion that explodes from every note. Great job.
Thank you, Miss Virna. I've now discovered the next piano piece I want to learn. And surprise surprise, it's Chopin. I think I'm developing a soft spot for his compositions.
Ingmar Helsmoortel I couldn't possibly pick a best Chopin piece, despite the fact that Polonaise Op53 is among one of my all time favorite pieces of music, but so is Prelude no17. Chopin in general is definitely my favorite composer.
Let's not nitpick, this is an enchanting performance. I looked around TH-cam and the best I could find was Claudio Arrau (I am very partial to him), but I prefer Virna's rendition. Kissin sounds flat by comparison (maybe he has played it too often). Of course it helps that the video is so well produced and the sound quality excellent, but what a luminous interpretation, what grace! If you haven't listened to Virna's Bach Chaconne, do it now: it is rapturous. I never paid much attention to that piece, but she had me downloading the score to try for myself. I would trade my precious Yuja Wang tickets (Carnegie May 2016, eat your heart out) in a flash to watch this woman play. Time for a Kickstarter campaign, Virna? Count me in!
+Ken Turner I can't understand how could you find Kissin flat. Definitely he's the best modern Chopin player. This one is good, yes. But not even in comparison with him. Of course on my mind.
Кирилл, I saw Kissin at Carnegie last month and he was superb (Appassionata). But his Brahms Intermezzo was overdone. At his best Kissin is #1, but I like how this pianist lets the music speak for itself.
Also, even the graceful way she moves is enchanting, lyrical. I'm not even remotely an expert. Seems part of the performance. Does that enter into the equation for you? Like I said, I don't know much at all of Chopin or piano in general.
This piece seems to be interpreted differently by everyone who plays it. So, it's clearly a matter of individual taste. That being said, I will respectfully admit that when I play this piece, I strive to play it like Arrau, but I end up playing it like Virna. The subtlety of expression that Arrau achieves is so very difficult to achieve. I can appreciate why some might prefer Virna's smoother, faster interpretation.
This was the first time I've heard this pianist play this Nocturne , to me , tells a story , a life. The song is beautiful and the performance was wonderful , as Ken is partial to Arrau, I am partial to Horowitz, but having heard and seen this very talented pianist I will definitely look for more of her performances!! 9/10
This song was the inspiration for Blonde Redhead - For the Damaged Coda, which became the dark theme song of Evil Morty in Rick and Morty. absolutely brilliant piece beyond time

Just my opinion: If the human race ever created beauty, it was Chopin.
Don't forget Bach
Mozart is as pompous and proud as he is cunning and able. If we are to explore the divine and infernal, I would sooner call him a demon. Bach strikes me as much more of an angelical figure. He was very devout and his religious works are among his greatest masterpieces. Moreover, he is known for including Soli Deo gloria (S.D.G, meaning Glory to God alone) in many of his secular works as well as all of his religious ones.
