I love love LOVE how he takes his time with this piece!! Too many people rush through it and i personally feel like its constantly played in a rush manner so hearing this is truly music to my ears.
This man won the 1980 Chopin competition because he was better than Ivo Pogorelich. Let that sink in. His playing is sublime but he also beat a legend on his way to victory!
@@magiksticYou're right. And I think that even the individual's preferences are constantly changing. At first I had liked Rubinstein's interpretation very much, and then Lang Lang, and these days Dang Thai Son... Maybe someday I will like Yundi's playing. Idk haha
@@용일-y4q Yeah i can agree with that, but my favorite interpretation has always been yundi's. I feel that he understands chopin really well and it shows across many of the pieces he has performed
4 ballada Chopina to największe i najdoskonalsze dzieło w literaturze fortepianowej. Piekna interpretacja , nie wiem czy najlepsza ...to kwestia dyskusji ale na tym polega piekno muzyki ,że mozemy podziwiac wiele wspanialych interpretacji i je po swojemu oceniać. Dziekuje za to wspaniałe nagranie.
Una grata sorpresa! Con serenidad y calma, una técnica brillante, lejos de efectismos , ha dado una lección de claridad, estilo, pasión controlada Una versión, creo, muy cercana al modo en que la interpretaría el autor
It is nice but it is not Slavic style aesthetics. It is too tepid and soft like butter. How did he ever win the Chopin prize decades ago? There's a serious question of him being on the jury while also being the piano teacher of the 2021 Chopin winner.
@@nathantran2353 It’s not about the capabilities of the pianos at the time of Chopin. It’s rather the palette of dynamics one has to deploy when playing any kind of repertoire. That is, for every type of fortissimo you must have a specific forte, piano, pianissimo. The problem with todays pianists is that they either play extremely loud or soft, thereby restricting themselves into a dull and bifid type of playing and confusing this with what Horowitz did. He reportedly had numerous levels of dynamics between his piano and pianissimo.
I just keep coming back to this recording...Do you happen to know if he recorded Ballade 2 ? The one on YT doesn't have very good sound quality. I'm curious to hear his take on the piece since I'm playing it.
Hey sorry for the late reply. I don't think I have Dang's version, although I do have another recording played by a Swedish pianist I think... it's actually not that bad too. I will see if I can upload it.
A great interpretation but I personally prefer Zimmerman's interpretation. His interpretations of each of the ballades are just heart-wrenching. I just find it impossible to not think of Zimmerman's interpretations when mentioning any of the ballades. And also, I don't mean to hate on anyone's opinion I just wanted to share my own.
수능화이또 i think it's really frustrated to compare pianists since art and especially music are always subjective things to criticize. All qualified pianists are unique and no one plays like another so it's pointless to compare who is better. The choice of your favorite pianists also depends on how you feel the music, and I wouldn't say that you or me or someone who has a good taste of music by pointing out which pianist is better, because who cares? Why don't you just enjoy the music instead of being so annoying? I really get sick every time I see a comment like your!
if these asian musicians keep playing like this they're gonna bring back the golden age of the spirit and save us from materialism in spite of everything.
One of the finest Fourth Ballades in existence. A true revelation
I love love LOVE how he takes his time with this piece!! Too many people rush through it and i personally feel like its constantly played in a rush manner so hearing this is truly music to my ears.
Yea, I have gone through a lot of recordings but none of them surpass the phrasing in this version. Glad you liked it :)
True!
I hear no shortage of drama, in the best sense. And the bonus so rare nowadays - elegance.
Pure artistry.
YES! He puts BEAUTY first, bless him.

Ive heard of many pianist’s recordings (including rubinstein, horowitz, langlang, zimerman, sunjincho, bunin...) but I think this is the best
listen to yundi li 2001
@@magikstic thank you for recommending beautiful playing of Yundi li...It was very good but I still prefer Dang Thai Son

Heavenly sensitive playing. The best interpretation of this piece I have heard so far.
One of the better ones!
poetry! like it
grace260105 Glad you liked it :) for some reason a lot of people prefer Yundi Li's version though
@@198redone WHY?
genius
This is a beautiful interpretation of Ballade #4, more poetic than most versions.
Una grata sorpresa!
Con serenidad y calma, una técnica brillante, lejos de efectismos , ha dado una lección de claridad, estilo, pasión controlada
Una versión, creo, muy cercana al modo en que la interpretaría el autor
Lovely restful playing as if he was improvising on the spot no doubt as Frederick would have done 🎶💥😇
Tuyệt vời
Brawo !!!
wow, that's a very light version- very beautifully played but no nearly so dramatic as most other performances.
It is as light as Chopin, and not so dramatic as Beethoven
like
@198redone may I know when was this recorded?
A bit lacking in passion in my opinion
Zzzzzz boring

Love the ethno-aesthetic critique. Keep it up!

wow...speechless...every phrase is so full of meaning and the playing is so earnest
After all these years it's still my favourite version, haven't heard a pianist's phrasing that can top this yet. Glad you liked it :)
My favorite too! I haven't heard any other version that speaks to me so directly.

Zimmermann
Exceptionally profound and simple
i love the way he played this piece, how he managed the time and then he slowly went through this.
great performance
Kể cả khi Ivo Pororelich không bị loại về cách chơi nhạc một cách đầy tranh cãi. Đặng Thái Sơn vẫn là người xứng đáng giành giải nhất.
Argerich did not quit because Dang Thai Son won the competition. She quit just because of Pogorelich.
As much as people love Dang Thai Son, they sure love comparing him to the great Pogorelich
❤
❤ ..................
simply beautiful!
he is pretty impressive.
He deserved his win. And to be more famous.
@@expertinanything5462 Man for someone who is nothing you spend a lot of time on his videos lol. Salty much?
Excellent! Great interpretation!

I agreed with you, Zimmerman’s Ballades are my go to version. This is wonderful too. A different sensibility, a different meditation.
the ending was PERFECT
Good interpretation - this piece should be unsecured, fragile, never land on a something safe, imaginative
Son's articulation and phrasing is so original; reveals so many hidden elements
Dang!
pogorelich better

Anson Yeung hmmm. I recognise you from all your comments on piano music videos all over TH-cam lol
The 1980 Chopin piano competition is over, you know, the one Pogorelich didn't win so brilliantly :)
q wek,and you are stupider
@Anson Yeung I don't know of his performance... maybe an "obscure" one... but I certainly don't see it on "youtube"...
