Torrent, yes, but not more than many other pianists. Listen to Trifonov that some people here have pointed out as a much better pianist. Speed is about the same: Trifonov finishes 10 of the 12 Etudes in 22:46 mins when Jan Lisiecki's first 10 are completed in 22:54 mins...
Magnificent performance! Jan takes musical risks, brings out the difficult lines and plays with power, clarity, fantasy, character...he communicates throughout. His approach is way beyond the ubiquitous smooth, perfect mezzo mezzo and the way his career has developed is ample proof that Jan is an extraordinary talent of the highest quality. Bravo!
actually his voicing is quite clunky and muddy, and his playing is quite labored. notable in the first etude especially. if you want to hear a real master perform that piece who successfully "brings out the difficult lines", it would be seong jin cho. literally the first round of the chopin competition in 2015, one of the best interpretation ever of the piece.
@@wanf872 you’re point is well taken, especially if I really get picky (and listen with headphones!) in certain sections here and there. It’s a live performance on God knows what piano set up…and he’s trying to project rather than playing in a cubicle… :) Dunno. Among the very best complete sets I’ve heard is Zlata Chochieva’s, which I just compared with Lim’s. Definitely worth listening to both. Gramophone Magazine rates Zlata’s cd “one of the top 10 Chopin recordings of all time”. Anyone who doesn’t know her playing is in for a surprise, both musically and technically. Her live performances of all 48 are equally astonishing. Check her out and LMK your thoughts. Cheers!
Speechless!!! Phenomenal...... Chopin is one of my favourite composers, along with Rachmaninoff-this young man is an extraordinary, mind blowing pianist and a joy to behold and listen too-Thank you :)
Jan Lisiecki improved himself in this recital! He finally managed it now to play the most difficult op.10,4 in the prescripted 176 Mälzel! Bravo! In he official video he only could perform it with much effort with weak 160 Mälzel! Lately I discovered Nokolai Leschenko with astronomic 223 Mälzel without pedal overtaking piano goddess HJ Lim with 192 and even early Richter with 211 Mälzel!
People are being quite disrespectful towards the music. Why cough in the middle of a performance? This has, in fact, happened for a long time. When Rachmaninov performed and someone coughed, he would skip playing a composition from the repertoire. I would understand.
@@agnieszkas.5925 Yes, true. I wasn't sure if the honors you mention were just for Polish citizens or not. I'll be seeing him this Sunday in Chicago for a Chopin recital...quite looking forward to it.
Nicht wirklich gut... Am Chopin-Wettbewerb würde er nicht mal die Vorausscheidung überstehen... Aber er muss zum Glück auch gar nicht hin, denn den Vertrag bei Deutsche Grammophon hat er schon
I’m always happy for young, sincere, talented pianists getting oppertunities to grow and shine. But, I listened through no 4, and to be honest it sounds like he barely made it through… His touch is not very refined. I’m confused….
@@musiclover148 Daniil Trifonov performed the Etudes virtually flawlessly at the Rubinstein Competition in Tel Aviv in May, 2011. He was 20 years old. He is also an accomplished composer in addition to being possibly the greatest pianist in the world. It isn't fair to anyone to be held up to him for comparison.
I have heard Trifonov's Rubinstein performance. He learned the etudes in a very short time. I have worked on some of them and performed several, but ten more years would not help me play them as either of these guys does.
I really want to enjoy his play, but those wrong notes are just so annoying. To be honest, any player in the final round of Chopin competition played much better. Just imagine if this guy is there, will he win anything? I still don't get why this guy is so famous and got contract with DG. Good looking, perhaps?
@@einmarmor LOL! Zyrtec is an allergy medication. What does that have to do with insightful piano playing? To set the record straight though, his occasional messy note is a little distracting but shouldn't interfere with what he has to say at the keyboard. He has been able , with the support of sponsors who believe in him, to bypass the competition circuit and after all, isn't the competition all about gaining exposure to start a healthy career? Perhaps he'll use this Pandemic isolation time to clean up the little irritations. Cheers.
I wasn’t a fan of many of the Chopin finalists. Sure they played cleanly but at what cost, honestly. It saddens me that so many listeners see classical music as a sport now of ‘the less wrong notes you play, the better you are’. Regarding Lisiecki. He’s a consummate artist even at the age of 18 here, I’m not going to even bother dissecting how many aspects of his playing I admire in this video as I’m sure they’ll fall on deaf ears. But no, I wouldn’t say he just got the contract because he is ‘good looking’.

Najpiekniejsza interpretacja etud Chopina jaka kidykolwiek slyszlam . Za ktora Ci dzekujemy - Brawo !!!

I love this pianist. He reconciled me for a long time with the piano. Thank you.
przepięknie , miło się slucha i patrzy, wielkie gratulacje
Jan Lisiecki has at least four hands, I guess. It is so strong, so perfect, I feel like I am flying.
This is so beautiful!!!
What a colorful rendition, wow!
He makes a lot of music❤️🙏
Wonderful!
wunderbar bravissimo
Mind blowing!!
👏🏻 Bravo!
fabelhaft
This man is literally the embodiment of Chopin himself
Мне очень нравится пианист Ян Липецкий. Ещё молод, но очень перспективен. Его Шопен великолепен и органичен. Никакой надуманности. Молодец!
WUNDERBARE TECHNIK BRAISSIMO

Chopin w wykonaniu J.L. to jest dla mnie metafizyczne doświadczenie. Pozaziemskie.
Young xQcOW PogU
No. 12 is like scriabin
Piano no mori
Camera cuts everywhere...
He looks like the real life version of lech symanovski
Una buona esecuzione ma la migliore resta quella di Pollini
He misunderstood the easiest (n6), but was acceptable dealing with that snake full of poison (n4). Young and good, on the road - and growing!
People are being quite disrespectful towards the music. Why cough in the middle of a performance? This has, in fact, happened for a long time. When Rachmaninov performed and someone coughed, he would skip playing a composition from the repertoire. I would understand.
He has an excellent technique but sometimes he plays way too fast for my taste. Anyway great pianist.
Trifonov is Trifonov, but Liesecki is Chopin. Ne plus ultra.
Son interprétation me laisse de marbre. C' est bien mais comme tant d' autres... J' attends davantage.
Per Chopin calza a pennello. Più dei "maschilisti " e dei "femministi" ! (E poi è un grande pianista)
Dlaczego jeszcze nie dostał Orderu Orła Białego? Taki Polak jest więcej wart niż cały korpus dyplomatyczny. J
He is Canadian.
@@baldevis as far as I know, Polish as well.
@@agnieszkas.5925 Yes, true. I wasn't sure if the honors you mention were just for Polish citizens or not. I'll be seeing him this Sunday in Chicago for a Chopin recital...quite looking forward to it.
It seems like he's in such a rush, resulting in wrong notes.

to be honest …one of the strangest interpretations I've ever heard 🤔

One of the most overrated pianists today
I absolutely agree.
Sorry, but I disagree. He is very talented! :)
How?
You're wrong. He's one of the best pianist in the world.
Overrated......
🤠 you know f nothing
Average. Just listen to Trifonov : it's a new world !
Lisiecki was eighteen years old at the time of this performance. How old was Trifanov, I wonder?
@@musiclover148 Daniil Trifonov performed the Etudes virtually flawlessly at the Rubinstein Competition in Tel Aviv in May, 2011. He was 20 years old.

I have heard Trifonov's Rubinstein performance. He learned the etudes in a very short time. I have worked on some of them and performed several, but ten more years would not help me play them as either of these guys does.
Then I think I prefer Lisiecki's world.
I really want to enjoy his play, but those wrong notes are just so annoying. To be honest, any player in the final round of Chopin competition played much better. Just imagine if this guy is there, will he win anything? I still don't get why this guy is so famous and got contract with DG. Good looking, perhaps?
When you grow up you'll know.
