- Despite the quality I need to share this amazing and rare Chopin documentary with you. If anyone knows where I can order a DVD or high quality version (Europe) please reply :)
Part 1: • Rare Chopin documentar...
Part 2: • Rare Chopin documentar...
I heard a composition from his seventh year and I could hardly believe my ears. His teachers were right. He hardly needed to learn basic stuff despite his young age.
Yes. I read that he started formal lessons at 4 years of age. Maybe he played piano whilst sitting on his mother's lap?
I used to have VHS tape of that film and unfortunately lost it in a fire. So I thank you very much for letting me see it again. These are the moments we are grateful for TH-cam.
Yeah, youtube is great.
wow Chopin is alive!
TV is a joke compared to TH-cam
@@agamaz5650 We removed our TV set in 2003.
The A minor valse heard at the beginning of this documentary was Chopin's very own favorite composition according to a letter.
Didn't know that, but understandable, it's a beautiful composition
@@hannesdewinter1458 It's absolutely hauntingly beautiful yet tragic and sad.
I knew it was his favorite WALTZ -- but was unaware that it was his favorite composition altogether. It certainly is my favorite among the Chopin waltzes: it's so romantic -- evocative of ballroom dancing at midnight, against the backdrop of moonlight and magnolias.
Chopin lives on ---many thanks.
Cantabile piano/pianissimo is the outstanding quality of his playing.
Wonderful 2 documentaries. Thanks for sharing, as I never heard these before!
Mesmerizing. As for the playing, instead of abusing tempo rubato Janis subtly varies dynamics and highlights harmony. Though he’s known for bow wow pyrotechnics in Rachmaninov and Prokofiev, Janis always seemed to identify , mystically as we learn here, with Chopin, and a rather classical Chopin, which may be why the French prize him. Don’t miss his much later EMI recordings and a remarkable live recital in Salt Lake City (on TH-cam) that includes one of the all-time great performances of Chopin’s B minor sonata.
Wow! This is authentically produced and played. Your explanation about Mr Janis helps me to understand more about Mr Chopin and his voice as the great pianist.
Thank you, Mr Atherton,
From Mrs Darley in Yorkshire🙂

Mrs Darley, you may be interested to know that my older daughter researches autism and teaches at Edge Hill University. My wife and I love Yorkshire because people there are so sweet, like you.
@@jackatherton0111 Hello Mr Atherton and thank you for your kind reply here. Wow! I didn't realise you know that I am autistic! And your elder daughter researches autism at Edge Hill College. And...I didn't know that non-Yorkshire people have such a pleasant affection for us Yorkshire lot! Thank you. Are you in Lancashire?🙂
I trust the tradition of playing from the Chopin home continues.
Divino.
Documento unico.
Grazie di cuore
Thank you for sharing. Found this link on the internet - hope it is the same documentary....... Best wishes
His performance of the E flat waltz is superbly witty.
Brawissimo !
Wow !! I found the segment about the Grande Valse brillante ' very interesting ! What a great documentary! I really enjoyed it !!
Exquisite! Thank you so much for uploading this!
GReat doc. Worth it to watch.
23:45 This excercise is really great.
When people actually understood what good music was...
It’s funny that, as much as Chopin loved singing and the opera, he never composed even a song, nothing! I often think of him and a very different but amazing melodist, Frank Schubert, who produced so much more music than Chopin, and died at only _31 years of age!_ Such tragedies!
Chopin wrote 19 Polish songs.
I am very interested in his times with Vladimir Horowitz.as I understand Vladimir for better or worse had a profound impact on him....just recently I found out that Byron is married to Gary Cooper's daughter...that has to be exciting in itself but I believe they married after Gary passed.
👏👏👏
He did compose Casta Diva in 1831.
Could I be lucky and get the version of chopin waltz op. 18 no. 1 he's talking about by any chance?
Version in french ?!?😳🙄🤔
if I wanted to listen to his music I would I was expecting a documentary. was not enough information in this film
Any video with Byron Janis is a real treasure, to hear his perspective and see the places Chopin lived is an undescribable privelige
thats not even a pleyel piano???
could have “at least” been a Petrof
What is the name of first piece
Op. 34 No. 2 A Minor (Valse)
Valse Brillante Op, 34, No 2
Or are you talking about the Ballad in Gmin
Why must one be subjected to seeing multiple keyboards? It makes me seasick!!
BYRON JANIS IS HUMAN? IAM NOT SURE. The E minor waltz interpretation is not from our planet, just like CORTOT. I'm sure...
Who's playing is this?
Davis Robinson:. Probably Byron Janis.
why won’t you read?
@@hastensavoir7782 why so rude?
Peter Klatzow Because the Description had to be mentioned TWICE
Schlecht man muss nicht druecken sondern die Gravitation ausnutzen
Muss nicht? MUSS NICHT?? Hat Darwin, hat Gott so gesprochen? Bitte, bitte, denken Sie lang und ernst daran! Man benutzt Finger um Musik auszudrücken, und nicht Musik um Finger zu disziplinieren, (oder, wie ich habe immer so verstanden).
What's going on with this guys teeth? Not sure if it's just the poor quality but this guy looks scary as hell in a lot of the scenes.
What an idiot
Don’t you know who he is ?
He is quite ill
Look it up
Stop behaving like an idiot
Probably American
Noel Bodie Now I do see Curtis' ignorance but I disagree with the assumption that he's "Probably American."
Curtis McLeod , where are you from my friend; and by any chance are you planning to make the said country great again or not?
Guys chill
Wow does his teeth matter...plus he married Gary Cooper's beautiful daughter so
Prob the worst documentary on Chopin. It is very staticy and drained out
I don't know why, but I find it to be the most interesting one.
