Maria Joao plays the piano since she was 4 years old and gave her 1st concert at 10. Still being one of the best pianists of the world despite to be almost 80. Long life to her!
Oh, what a lovely face and so full of expression playing this ethereal nocturn. As a boy of 10 I would lie under my mother's grand Steinway touching her feet as she would pedal through this composition...I am now 84., Maria's delightful playing brings back profound memories. Thank you for your hard earned virtuosity.
@@johnhaueisen Thanks John. Regrettably, my mother passed at only 44 from cancer. Tragic loss for my three younger siblings and father. I think it was the expressive face of Maria that touched my memory. All the best to you and whom you love.
Thanks Brian. You are one of the very fortunate people who can allow himself to let music (especially when so passionately performed) move you and awaken loving memories. It warms my heart to read the memory you shared. @@brianhealey5286
The beauty of being able to enjoy one’s craft, without being judged or passing an exam, or the fear of letting others down. Just sheer enjoyment in what you do. Being you. And your light shines through. Thank you.
I would normally use more sophisticated and nuanced terms to describe such a beautiful performance. However, tonight I’m not even going to try. A most challenging day but then concluded by this graceful performance reminds me that there is hope.
La beauté de son jeu est le reflet de son âme... Maria Joa Pires nous gratifie depuis tant d'années de son immense talent sensible et maîtrisé ! Pires et Argerich , les deux phares musicaux de ce début de XXIeme siècle d'airain...pour nous aider à vivre malgré tout...
The uniqueness is in her ability to convey emotion. All top pianists can learn these notes..but she gives us a melody that is so full of pain, joy, sweetness and intensity with big contrasts that really move me . She is also able to wait... hold the melody , not rushing always to show off speed when unnecessary. A feminine touch? ❤
Ladies and Gentlemen, I am Polish. Chopin, despite his French surname, was also Polish. Chopin's music is filled with the Polish "spirit". And, unfortunately, not every pianist, even an excellent virtuoso, feels this spirit. Mrs. Pires not only plays perfectly, but she plays with Chopin's spirit, with her heart... I kiss your hands...
When I was (re)learning Schubert's A♭ major Impromptu, I listened to Maria's performance, which taught me a great deal. Every time I came back to her performance after a couple more weeks of practice I found new subtlety and depth in her interpretation, it was astonishing. I could never play with her facility and speed, but I used a lot of her ideas... The one thing I recall most strongly is that her transitions between different sections are never just transitions, they are yet another opportunity for sensitive and artistic expressiveness. Genius.
So very true. Also learning that impromptu right now and the clearness of her touch, the depth of the notes, the singing tone...ahhh its so magical. There are more great performances -and pianists!- but in this case i keep coming back again and again to her rendition. Otherwordly.
My dear Maria Joao, how beautiful and sublime your Piano Music has continued in your long career, your Unique Talent fascinates me and the World, you would deserve a place in the Music World which has not exactly been recognized. Your performances achieves deep sentiments melody joy beauty and immense love that you carry in your heart.
As a fellow portuguese that has heard your recordings for 40 years i need to applaud this beautiful interpretation of Chopin's Nocturn, just beautiful...
Какая Нежность и Чистота! Звукоизвлечение - просто Волшебство!!! Я замираю,..и слезы печали ,и счастья ,и тут же - любовь и нежность. Волшебно!!! Брависсимо!!!!!!Брависсимо!!! Необыкновенное звучание! Спасибо !!
The incredible depth of thought that Ms.Pires breathes into this master piece shines... in every direction. The pedaling, the dynamic ranges, the essence of song itself and her smile. All proved: BREATHTAKING! Thank you Maria. Obviously, you've written your name among the Immortals of the Piano. Thank god it was recorded so well!! I intuit this recording will outlast us all. Much love and thanks. moi
Uma inspiração para a minha vida, a Sra. Dona Maria João Pires. Como Pianista primeiro, desde pequena e mais tarde em adolescente, quando decidi levar o discman a passear à beira-mar em S.Pedro de Moel e levei Chopin pela mão desta Senhora. O meu Ser mudou. às vezes até me arrependo, porque me sinto perdida...Mas.. Eu também sou pianista (e em caso de d´vida, há sempre outras canções). Mas independentemente dos meus desagrados com o piano ou dele comigo... se há alguém que me faça sublimar ao som deste instrumento, é esta Mestre. Obrigada, maria joão pires e parabéns por mais um prémio. è mesmo a/o melhor pianista dos ultimos 100 anos.
Para mí éste es uno de los mejores nocturnos de Chopin. Qué difícil es darle a cada nota su sentido, que no se pierda la línea melódica, la sencillez en la interpretación... Gracias!!
You were born to interpret this music as only you can. the joy you convey with your style and the way your whole body emotes this music is absolutely riveting. the music flow through and your sole appreciates it to every extent
Maria João, você é espetacular. Uma das maiores pianistas que já ouvi. Todos os dias ouço você interpretando " Clair de Lune". Ninguém executa essa música como você 😊😊😊😊
This woman is an inspiration. I just watched her perform Beethoven’s 4th Piano Concerto at the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. She’s so understated and remarkable at the age of 80. She started performing when she was 4 years old! What were most of us doing when we were 4? What a gift ❤
Класическата музика на композитора Шопен,велик,със своите ноктюрни пиеси,завладяват те,затихваш и искаш да чуеш всеки тон,а тук в моята България се нуждаем от релаксиране,от тази луда предизборна шумотевица,,която подлуди спокойсвието на хората,но Промяната дойде и заема възловият факт на изборният ден ,тя аплодира,настоява за соблинните фактори за стабелизирането на държава,и истината оглася новините,борбата е в апогеят си,тези избори са важни за нас,хората,масовият народ,които тайно роптае,този кръговрат на алчни,опоненти,олигарсите,дериберите,които искат вечно да властват над жална България,Гласувайте за самите себе си,за бъдещето,да си върнем държавността,и държавата ни,небойте се идва нова яка сила,коятоще ни обедени ,всички можем да постигнем лидерското място във власта,напред с нов министър Председател и основени общини,честни кметове,от които зависи нашият ежедневен живот.Бог напред ние след него!
Maria João Pires! Diva do piano ...deixa-me sonhar voando no som que trazes do céu à terra...portuguesa linda De todo o mundo! De todo o sempre! Bem-hajas! Maria Petronilho Lisboa Portugal
Such sensitivity....I held my breath throughout the piece for fear that my breath may disturb this gift my ears were receiving....such perfection if only a lover whispered this sweetly. Thank you.
Every time I hear Master Chopin's music I'm so proud of being Polish! Soul of the age! The greatest of all! Thank you for your amazing performance Maestro! ❤ ❤❤
Voce é um ser muito especial ! Nao tenho palavras para definir suas interpretaçoes, sao todas perfeitas e tocadas com toda a sua alma .❤❤❤❤❤❤Muita Paz e Saúde.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The beautiful face of someone who has absorbed and played heavenly music for years.

I am speechless!🎹🙏❣️
I can’t believe this is for free on youtube! Lucky day!

I can’t add much except to say I forwarded this to as many people I love as I could remember.❤

Восхитительно! Прекрасная музыка в исполнении Маэстро! Браво! Валерий Козырев. Журналист Москва
This is how it was meant to be played. Surreal. Ethereal. Otherworldly. Divine.

Couldn't agree more. This is a fine performance which reduces me to tears Maria......again.
Гармония и красота с первого звука.
Fully agree. I feel SOUL all around..
Thank You so much.
There is nothing FEMININE about it.
oui..c'est tout en finesse...magnifique !!♥♥
Unbelievable. This rendition is so right in so many ways, it's fantastic.
Or, because it is so fantastic, it makes this version, in many ways, so right. Unbelievable. 1:01
Perfection

And, unfortunately, not every pianist, even an excellent virtuoso, feels this spirit. Mrs. Pires not only plays perfectly, but she plays with Chopin's spirit, with her heart... I kiss your hands...
Music is a universal language, forget Poland
Her playing has been my savior through tough times.
Just breathtaking...in her sensitivity , expression and beauty of sound.
Chopin to najpiękniejsza spuścizna dla ludzkości ❤️
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💯
Beautiful. I'm with you all the way with that x
я-самое прекрасное наследие человечества!!!👣
I completely agree. The biggest loss to music there will ever be. 💚
Sublime and touching rendition of this Chopin Nocturne; Maria João Pires is realy a top top pianist; thank you…
A consumate professional, through and through.
I love Maria Joao Pires. She's so talented, sensitivity, feeling... Not a machine... ❤😊
Yes! Sim, sim....
Either happy or sad, either sorrow or joy, there must be so much emotional memories on her mind and in her heart, I almost can feel that
Ovo je magija, izvedba puna emocija, najtananijih. Portugalska ikona klavirske muzike. Respect!
Thank you for that authentic performance...Thank you for leaving all this for us- F. F. Chopin ❤️
An angel who lifts me up to the skies and then leaves me right at home with myself, alone, humbled and peaceful again!
The gentle expressiveness of her face is as lovely as her performance. Such a gift.
Maria's playing is pure poetry, as usual. Enchanting...
this music is ageless, timeless and universally suiting to anyone....see how she plays, it is joyful to listen to.

The legend tells she had prepared op 27 no 1 and that she played this recording by memory 😂
Tear shedding by the way ❤
Adoro Chopin, y la sentida interpretación de Pires es magnifica y nos llena de paz . Gracias
Stunning performance. By far the best in my opinion. Her passion whilst playing takes you deeper into the piece.
You can't play it if you don't feel it.
Это просто МАГИЯ!!!!❤️Спасибо вам за неповторимые мгновенья!

Maria João Pires. No others words needed.
아름다워요. 나도 이렇게 나이들고 싶어요.
Expression which is full of life experience is the best interpretation of music. This is the one.

Her interpretations are best of all! ❤
I agree. No one else can convey such sensitivity, she is telling us a long story.
Her 1996 set is phenomenal and for a time I though it was peerless. Then I heard the 2010 recordings by Dang Thai Son. I love them both.
Бесподобно! Я думаю, что именно так чувствовал и играл Шопен. Великолепное исполнение.
Я всегда поражаюсь звукам , которые извлекает из инструмента эта пианистка . Никто ТАК не может .
Он был мужчиной , и чувствовал иначе . слишком рубато играет мария .
@@nadezda6726 О, мы никогда не узнаем, что чувствовал Шопен, но нам дано счастье испытать свои ощущения через такое прекрасное исполнение)))
The greatest pianist.
Maria João, você é espetacular. Uma das maiores pianistas que já ouvi. Todos os dias ouço você interpretando " Clair de Lune". Ninguém executa essa música como você 😊😊😊😊

At 4 I was playing in my backyard sandbox.
So true. @@Dr.Pepper001
Une étoile, une merveille.
A beleza deste Noturno está maravilhosamente expressa no rosto da pianista Sra Maria J Pires. Obrigada.
My favorite interpretation of these so loved Nocturne! How can she take it to the next level of beauty it’s beyond understanding to me !!
J O Y personified. Thank you :)
Восхищение красотой звучания. Спасибо.
Never heard it played better. Beautifully done.
Such a beautiful piece of music and so beautifully played. Heaven.
Il est magnifique ce nocturne et si bien joué ! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Mother's felt through, thank you.
The pain, focus, diety, love, dedication, and more over... work.
her tone at the beginning is tender and perfect
Wow I adore this pianist .It's so beautiful.
Thank You! So nice to sit back and listen to it instead of attempting to play it.
Longa vida, Maestra.
Absolutely Delicious music 🎹🎶
Изумительно. Спасибо!
Maestria, duro lavoro, grande interpetrazione dalla prima nota 1 brivido lungo la schiena....grazie di ❤
