Not for me, either. It depends of who you are, what you are looking for, and what this means to you. Sometimes its better not follow the "Madding Crowd".
Truly my absolutely favourite Nocturne, I love it. I can not imagine anybody playing this incredible piece with more perfection than she did. What a gift this is!
I have listened to many performances on TH-cam of this nocturne. Artur Rubinstein's performance is similar in mood to this one. But so many even great pianists miss capturing the right spirit. Some play it quickly, the chromatic notes emphasized, there is a metallic and punched sound to the notes, the ornamental runs sound like a circus performance. Anna Fedorova gets so many things right. Perhaps the piano and recording help as well. Her melodic tone is deep and pleasant as though singing. She gives some weight and length to the short sixteenth notes - others play them flippantly. She can lighten her touch also, so that passages have a velvety sheen, and have a swooning quality. If she is listening, it would be great if she would record more Chopin Nocturnes.
I have been listening to the Preliminaries of the Chopin 2021 competition, and have heard and seen several pianists play this same nocturne, and I return to this performance. I recall being impressed with this performance when it was first played live. The pianist maintains composure and poise in the face. The back is straight, the fingers are curved, and there is a lack of physical tension in the playing. The melody is played with a singing legato tone, without hurry or rush. There is points of lingering in the phrasing, as well as moving toward the climactic peaks. The contrasting middle section is dramatic and yet played with restraint and control. The sound quality is excellent, and there are several camera angles. All the elements contribute to a moment of calm contemplation of a pleasure, and a relaxed state of being. A fine performance.
Beautiful, wonderful, magnificent -- BRAVISSIMA!!! Anna's exceptional musicianship deeply touches one's emotional core. Her astonishing introspection, insight, and understanding of Chopin's music are breathtaking! What an absolutely captivating artist she is!
I just fell in love with this joyfull yet nostalgic Nocturne. I cannot stop listening to it to try capturing and imagine what Chopin truly wanted to express trough this masterpiece. Just magical !☺
This young woman is so unselfish in providing her talent online even during the illness era. Could easily continue being a Professor of the pianoforte for young people.
I’m at AWE AT YOU CLASSICAL DOCTORS! Thanks so much for the breadth, as a jazz piano player my jaw drops when a classical player takes over the keyboard. Hands down fire!
I only play some Nocturnes (the easy ones, 20, 72, 32-1 and 37-1) but I know that this particular one is perhaps the most difficult (according to what a great friend of mine says who can play it) and see this beautiful pianist playing it, very easily excites me too much. Congratulations.
Okay…..this is best interpretation I’ve heard, including Ashkenazy. Why? The mid section played with the appropriate fury and menace, but NOT overly heavy handed or loud. She swept through that series of legato passages keeping the emotional flow so that one does not get anxious or agitated. I listen to Chopin while painting. When I get to Chopin’s Nocturne in B minor i find myself ripping my headphones off from angst, at the middle change that becomes disturbing. She confirms what I suspected, that you can play this true to Chopin’s shifting moods without being confrontational. That she can play this potentially bellicose passage without aggressive anger and still convey the menacing mood. ❤ This replaces Rubenstein, Ashkenazy and Harasiewicz on my morning playlist for this Nocturne.
Os Noturnos sem dúvida são a obra Máxima de Chopin,este Noturno é lindíssimo e a Pianista toca o de maneira Formidável .E acima de tudo ela ê uma Figura Linda ,.
I have been listening to Anna play Rachmaninoff for months of the internet and just tonight discovered she also plays Chopin. I am next moving on to hear her play the Polonaise and then Tchaikovsky. Does she play Beethoven too?
Sounds like an exaggerated. But this is the best version i have ever heard. So introspective. The timing of every note is just right Cant believe she is eliminated in the second round
Lieve Joanna Ik verlang insamengang in zijn meer indesamezijn van hart in ziel tertijden liefdevol spiegeling aan elkaar in golven van de liefde s zeeën elkaar Door de weer spiegeling van de zon opde kabellen de golven van verlangen naar elkaar Door de golven van emotie van het zilte zout van onze Tranen der herkenning Het verlangen in het zijn In de tonnen van het klavier Wouter joannes regina
Come on chopin institute, at least edit those annoying coughing fits at the end of such a beautiful piece. You don't know how to edit videos? Hire me ill do it for you. Takes 5 seconds.
This piece is criminally underrated.
i know and it's one of my favourites! i keep urging people to listen
Not for me.
6:10 orgasmic part
Couldn't agree more!
Not for me, either. It depends of who you are, what you are looking for, and what this means to you. Sometimes its better not follow the "Madding Crowd".
So much is happening in the middle section. Anger, pain, fury, panic, sadness, desperation... it contains so much emotion.
The music contains no emotion. The pianist provides that with her interpretation.
@@GosokuRyuYodan the music does contain emotions, Chopin's emotions.
@@hxppythxughts7149 To be interpreted by the player.
@@GosokuRyuYodan Yes!
AKA Beauty
Every one of Chopin's works is a gem.
Truly my absolutely favourite Nocturne, I love it. I can not imagine anybody playing this incredible piece with more perfection than she did. What a gift this is!
op 72 no 1 is my top 2 fav nocturne
Horowitz Playa thus Nocturne
Ashkenazy plays this nocturne soooo nice

You think EXACTLY like I do ! ( I hope she listens too ! ) 🎹😛👍
0:30 - My goodness, she's so connected to the piece that she even blinks in sync with the melody notes.
Piękno muzyki Fryderyka Chopina to fenomen graniczący z cudem ❤️
Pan Fryderyk Chopin jest dumą Polski! Cały naród jest z niego dumny! 🇵🇱
A hauntingly mesmerizing performance that truly captures the poetic voices of this beloved Nocturne! Bravo!
I agree, it recalls my previous favourite rendition, by Josef Lhévinne on a LP of a piano roll recording made I guess c. 1924 and also here on TH-cam
My favorite piece of Chopin ❤
素晴らしい演奏ですね。感動します。この曲を聴くととても平和な気持ちになります。今僕もこの曲を練習しています。
非常に難しいですがなんとか完成させたいです。

Anna is a brilliant pianist... just brilliant
She is playing so effortlessly ❤
How beautifully she speaks.
Anna is in the top five pianist I’ve ever heard truly amazing.
She's truly amazing. Especially in those Rachmaninoff concertos!
She's in my top 1.

48.1 might be technically more difficult but they are both amazing pieces and very challenging in their own right
This is fantastic!! I love that piece ❤. My favorite nocturne of Chopin
Absolutely incredible.
Exquisite. Everything about this video is exquisite. The piece, the performance, and the performer.
Best of Chopin nocturnes
My favorite nocturne. One of the best versions I've ever heard. Ana, beautiful

Well said ! You have great ears !! ( and MIND ! ) 👍🎹🎵
This Nocturne in B is exactly what it means to be underrated. I think already 2010 is ready to give her enough applause to get on. As she will.
no. 3 is so underrated, nobody knows what it is, they all listen to 1 and 2. really sad.
@@crowsguard no.7 and no.13 are soo good
@@jdsarfo610 i’ll definitely check those out!
Probably one the most difficult Nocturnes by Chopin.
I just started playing this song, it is very complicated but fun to play!
It's quite the song
You'll be a great pianist when you're done with it. In fact, you'll be so good that you'll start calling it a piece instead.
Hey me too, done with the first page, 21 bars, took 2 weeks
Just want give cheers and good luck to anyone who is attempting this piece. Finished or not, you tried and that matters a lot
@@elias7748 oof
Amazing! Love this Nocturne, Anna plays it so beautifully. Thank you Anna 💗🎼🎶
Absolutely beautiful.
The Shigeru Kawai is a lovely instrument!
chazinko sounds like the sweetspot between a Steinway and Fazioli
Qué talento, y toca con los ojos cerrados!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Eso es tremendoamente difícil.
Absolutely beautiful interpretation 🙏❤️🙏
Blessings
...Chopin e ela! ...ela e Chopin! ...que bela combinação! ...que belo complemento!...
Type of music you listen to when the homies aren’t around
Type of music you listen to when the homies are around.
wish I had homies to listen to this with
Thank God I met some girls that like the fine arts. One is a ballet instructor and the other is a folklorico dancer. We drink wine and listen to this!
sad truth…
😂😂😂
Con Anna Fedorova entiendo a Chopin.
Very well played! So Romantic! Thanks, Anna🎹🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶😊!
Very beautiful thanks for posting.
props to the guy holding his cough until the very end. still killed the mood for me tho
He should be barred from future concerts.
the guy coughed all of his lungs
@@bugraaltun9290 lmao
he rapidly contracted corona just for that ending
Coughs! Yes! Don’t go to a concert if you have a cough. And, adults can withhold a cough. It’s disrespectful and it CAN ruin a performance.
Just amazing 🤩 wow 🤩
Out standing performance
Beautifully played.
For me the only ones I can listen to playing this are Anna and Vladimir Ashkenazy. Truly brilliant timing
You should listen to Maria João Pires interpretation, i think that you'll like it.
Not Rubinstein!?
Brigitte Engerer plays it superbly also
Lazza77777 this piece belongs to Heinrich Neuhaus
Bella la memoria musical de Chopin en la bella y delicada memoria musical de Anna Fedorova.
Learning it right now
Discovering its beauty everyday Amazing and hypnotic
Wonderful ...I💕Anna 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Magnífico! Parabéns.
Maravillosa Anna gracias !
非常慢速的演绎，很多版本在六分钟左右，感觉有很多忧郁的情绪在里面，还有一丝神秘感，甚至像德彪西的曲子
Anna , спасибо
beautiful !!!

I just answered my own question. There is a selection below of Anna playing Chopin and Beethoven.
I think any well rounded professional pianist would have experience playing all these giant composers
I think 3:46- is one of those "cannons buried in flowers" which Schumann referred to.
2:49 concentrated Chopin's romantic spirit.
Balthazar Rivière want to cry there
@@pinkbabe145 The same
One minute on stage is worth 10 years of practice
Beautiful music and lady
Beautiful! ❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹👏👏👏
She makes the agitato part sound easy...
I love her expression
Ella es hermosa 😍
Sounds like an exaggerated. But this is the best version i have ever heard. So introspective. The timing of every note is just right
Cant believe she is eliminated in the second round
Escucho tu voz en tus dedos y tu sentir en tu tacto.
She plays as beautifully as she looks. 5:32
Gorgeous......
Floating💞🎶
Grande interpretazione
So beautiful oh milord
No Way... 🤯🤗🤩💖
Superr👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Je ne sais pas mais j ai comme l impression que c est une des nombreuses nocturnes jouees pour Georges Sand a Nohant
I can only play well till 3:47
After 3:47 is pretty hard for me but I hope I can play as good as Anna one day 😭
0:03 sounds to me like a pleasant voice
I melt, liquify...
They all waited for her to finish before they coughed haha
Bliss. ❤️❤️
Chopin x kawai = the best sound you have ever heart
Hi 🇨🇴
Hi.
2:31 who forgot to turn off their casio watch
Still don't understand why the second half was like that...
A women’s gentle touch makes it all the more intimate

Piece?
Vengo de un Fanfic Chili y estoy llorando
expected an applause at the end, but got sum cough😂
Si estás escuchando esto,automáticamente eres diferente al resto
Why do people cough like fools in a concert like this?
it's just a release after 7 mins of holding coughs lol just let them do it
Why do people ike YOU harp on NEGATIVES, when there is so much wonder and delight to celebate, savor, and revere?
People with cough desease, always go to concerts. They wish a cure from music. I think.
they smoked cigarettes for decades

Gran pianista. Sin embargo creo que Claudio Arrau la interpreta mejor.

Come on chopin institute, at least edit those annoying coughing fits at the end of such a beautiful piece. You don't know how to edit videos? Hire me ill do it for you. Takes 5 seconds.
It's nice. But not enough to make me feel anything.
Gorgeous music, beautiful woman
