I'm a Chopin worshiper since I was born, I play Chopin everyday, I've heard the best pianists playing the 24 Préludes,but Aimi's performance is the Best I've ever heard, not even Blechacz can top this performance. I've heard Aimis's performance about 70 times till now, she should have won a special prize, 1st prize whatever, Aimi you are GRAND
Absolutely! Yes, should have taken the top prize. Generally, women don't win 1st prize in the Chopin Competition. Martha Argerich and that amazing Yulianna Avdeeva. Who else?
@@trevorpsy women are smarter, we know competitions are all about interests and money. Yuja Wang for example, she doesn't give a fak to competitions, she's Top, why bother?!! We know the Best never win
This is a performance of the Preludes for the ages. Somehow she is able to take all these disparate emotions, colors, and vignettes and turn them into one cohesive masterpiece of the human experience.

This performance is her masterpiece in this competition. She pursues a sense of approaching Chopin's truth. And it will be told to many people as the best performance of the 18th Chopin International Piano Competition.
Yes! I felt that she went somewhere nobody had gone, and returned to humanity with this gift. Her pursuit of “Chopin’s truth” expresses this in a more precise way.
Chopin preludes are of an unspeakable beauty, and I thought I knew perfectly what they were supposed to sound. Yet for the first time after having listened to these pieces hundreds of times, I find a new color to them. Their aspect is way different, as a truth just uncovered. Chopin appears completely different to me, less tormented, more peaceful. Aimi’s performance seems to reconnect with a lost part of the composer. Moreover, this is for me the undeniable display of the ability for an interpreter to truly create, and not only read music. Aimi made those preludes her own masterpiece so to speak . She is a true, a genuine artist.
Ein wunderbares Spiel! So kristallklare melodische Linien, so durchdachte Gestaltung, so viel innere Kraft, so unheimlich sensibel und zart, so berührend und explosiv,! Hut ab , noch viele erfolgreiche Konzerte wünsche ich ihnen von ganzem Herzen , liebe Aimi! Irina
Some great pianist (I think it was Leon Fleisher, but I can't remember exactly who unfortunately) once said that you need to minimize all the extraneous movement. Restrain all the movement to the hands and arms. Notice how still Aimi is during this entire performance. Her body, shoulders, head all barely move. She puts all her energy into her hands - where it is needed.
Roby Mann -- look at it as music, she gives power from her small frame in prel.24 - It becomes the most ravishing storm, no hurricane, no volcano-eruption. End of life or beginning of a new.
Pięknie! Nie jestem znawca muzyki F.Chopina,ale kocham te muzykę,bo chwyta za serce,a w wykonaniu Aimi Kobayashi szczególnie!Pozdrawiam wszystkich pianistów i innych muzyków!
Najlepsze wykonanie preludiów jakie dane było mi usłyszeć w życiu. Emocje i duchowość namalowane dźwiękami The best performance of preludes I have ever heard in my life. Emotions and spirituality painted with sounds
Now the score sheet is released. In Stage III, Aimi got the second highest average score of all players (22.36, following Bruce Liu's 23.22), with 3 judges (Ewa Pobłocka, John Rink, Dina Yoffe) who gave her perfect score 25 (Bruce only got two 25s). This is an incredible live performance that history will forever remember.
@@makotoda50 one judge who consistently gave her No is Sa Chen, who hinted on Weibo (China’s Twitter) without mentioning names, that she could not be moved by Aimi’s performance no matter what.
@@rjg728 Today, I was broadcasting on Japanese TV that Aimi was impressed and crying in the waiting room after playing the Prelude, so I think I was happy and happy with my performance.
Aimi Kobayashi reaches a pinnacle of perfection in her pianism, performing these transcendent solo pieces. She evokes the joy, the sorrow, the passion and intimacy that Chopin envisioned when he wrote these gem-like masterpieces.
Wunderschöne und hoch kultivierte Aufführung dieser vierundzwanzig romantischen und fein komponierten Klavierstücke in verschiedenen und gut analysierten Tempi mit klarem doch zugleich elegantem Anschlag und mit sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik. Echt intelligente und geniale Pianistin!
Preludes Godess in her truth and beauty shining bright! She plays from her hearth and spheres from which only a few of us can drink. Perfect balance of peace, pain and silence. Thank you Aimi! ❤
Aimi, for me you are my first prize winner. You play with virtuosity and feeling. I love your playing. Been with you since your childhood years. My winner always. 🎼🌱🌾🥀💐☘️🌻
Aimi is not defeated at all in the evaluation with the famous pianist now, not in the evaluation in such a competition, but rather is approaching the top of the world.
When technique, finesse and movements of the body are evident and present, the result is irresistible. It is a sure sign that this lady has entered a private wotld and is sharing it with everyone! I say this because I notice very little of any dominant force and only love from her heart. Very little of the other works of Chopin allow for this because a shorter compostion that is concise and draws only beauty together tells it very easily to the listener whereas a longer piece loses enterest to the ordinary listener that does not listen too much to any serious music - that is, in any good acoustically oriented music. All in all, a very, very good choice for any piano competition! In fact, the only good music is truly acoustically oriented music!
Aimi's the epitome of GRACE, BEAUTY and SERENITY combined. Never too harsh or aggressive for the sake of showmanship, unless required by the music itself. She serves the music, and not vice versa. The range and complexity of characters she brought out in the Preludes are astounding. From the paining sorrow and sense of inevitability of No. 4, the warm gentleness and childhood nostalgia of No. 7, the heavenly forgiveness and sense of possibility of No. 13, the natural beauty and loving embrace of No. 15, the burning anguish and lost glory of No. 20, the flowing fury of no. 22, to the conflicting chains of thoughts and unsettling truth of No. 24.
Je Crois connaitre la recette de ces Joyaux que nous donne ici Aimi KOBAYASCHI.....Vous prenez un Diamant Brut(un gros!) et avec tout votre coeur et tout votre corps, vous le travaillez ,le façonnez, jusqu'à en obtenir un très,très rare 24 facettes ! alors vous les cajolez, les polissez jusqu'a ce qu'elles brillent de mille feux! FEUX d'ENFER ou FEUX de JOIE ! A se laisser bruler d'ivresse!!!Que c'est doux et onctueux......MERCI....AIMI.
Bien entendu il y a sans doute plusieurs centaines de pianistes dans le monde pouvant jouer ces preludes. Les jures des concours internationaux récompensent depuis des décennies les pianistes à la technique sans failles et ne faisant aucune faute. Jamais n est récompensée la sensibilité et l audace d une interprétation personnelle. Se souvient on de tous les 1er prix de concours.? Non .ils disparaissent dans l oubli car ils sont interchangeables et sans saveur. Je souhaite une belle carriere à cette jeune aimi qui nous offre une si émouvante et personnelle version de ces préludes. Elle prend son temps pour respirer chanter avec une liberté de ton si poétique. Elle sourit. Elle rêve et nous émerveille.
Aimi played very well in first, second and third round, she was not in good condition and a little abnormal when she played in final. But it looked good in the first 3 rounds, and finally won the 4th price... In my heart, these prelude deserved first prize 🏆
what a joy to listen to aimi playing these 24 preludes. played perfectly and with amazing musical expression, like a kaleidoscope of many different pictures that form a whole together. absolutely stunning performance.
There is a vulnerability to her playing that I think was lacking when she performed in 2015. Chopin and especially these preludes needs that intimate vulnerability as well as moments of extreme fortitude. She balances this perfectly. A highlight of the competition.
Awesome! I’ve been living for a long time and i don’t know if i’ve heard a better performance. I was extremely lucky to hear these preludes live at the National Philharmonic. Now not a day goes by without me going back to this recording.
Stumbled across this and there is so much soul in her performance. I appreciate how she takes her time focusing on each and every song. For example I feel like #17 is so often rushed through, but has so much to offer as a prelude. I have been teaching myself the full opus 28 for a few years and hearing it played like this is both encouraging... and discouraging... because I have a long way to go.
I listened to all who played in this competition and in the end I only come back to AIMI. AIMI's performance is the essence of finesse. I believe in French that is 'Caractier'. I don't know the corect spelling, I only knowThomas Manshardt said few pianists have Caractier, which is finesse in English. I don'tknow what those judges went by, but the most complete expression of finesse is in the presentation of these preludes. None of the other pianists match it. She fumbled the cello prelude but exelled in all of the others!
‘Finesse’ sounds awfully French too - the word has French origins. Agree that it perfectly describes Aimi’s playing. But fumbled….sorry, I don’t hear that.
This may have been the best Chopin ever played. The competion must be about something other than artistry for anyone else to be considered “competition” against this.
Aimi jest wyjątkowa. Wspaniale wykonanie pięciu preludiów w czasie Gali Konkursu Chopinowskiego w Filharmonii Narodowej. Stojące owacje! Should won first price along with the winner ❤️👏👏👏
“To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable.” - Ludwig van Beethoven... Con gratulation for your fantastic interpretation and Thank You from Poland. Country of Frederic Chopin...
To bad her Piano Concerto performance wasn't as good as her preludes....She played the Preludes better than anyone else in the competition by far imo!!!
It's useless to say it now, but I can't believe that there were three judges who gave No to this performance, how can I dislike this performance? I think it's not just a matter of taste.
this is a true jurney through the Preludes and the most convicing performance ever heard. She has not only a sense for sound - even the silence is touching. at the moment I'm listening to the silence before the c sharp minor starts. one of the powerfull moments - there are many of them. sometimes i want to listen only the first minutes - it is always impossible to quit....
The more I listen to this Prelude, the more I get a deeper understanding of Aimi's songs, and I'm always amazed at how to take a really delicate approach to each note. This is not an unnatural thing, of course, why play late there? By convincing yourself whether you play weakly, the attractiveness will increase.
For me, her No.24 is currently the best on TH-cam! Better than Seong Jin Cho, Eric Lu, Yuja Wang and Dang Thai Son! ... I know that this is just my taste ... but ... I really like the way she pause at 43:40 and then gradually increase the speed while moving the hand to the left. In comparison, the other pianists just make it fast with a constant speed. The first note from the last three notes is also very powerful while the other pianists can't slay like what she did. Regarding the last three notes, the gap between the first and the second note and between the second and the third are in a different length of the gaps while the other pianists just make them equal. Not to mention the way she swing and use her shoulder, because of that, the last three notes are more powerful than using the fist hammering! ... I know the way I explain is ridiculous because I don't know the musical terms. But these are the best that I try to describe the parts of her playing style that I like.
I think I know what you mean. The subtle timings and how that helps to maintain tension and construct longer phrases is starting to remind me of Horowitz, my favorite pianist. Of course, Horowitz is a once in a century player and is a whole lot more than just timing, but... If you haven't, you should listen to young Aimi playing the Impromptu No. 1. You can hear a lot of those control in pace which to me sounds so natural and perfect, different from the rubato of other players, and is what drew me to follow her music since then.
Not since late 1990s recordings of Emili Pandolfi have I heard someone who doesn’t trample all the delicate parts, who savors them, and evokes whatever it is that lives in his arrangements.
What a performance, and live -- I compare with Benno Moisewitch of 1930 - 1950ies, and what can I say, this is outstanding. The last one, no-24 I have never heard anything like that, I was moved. May I add that the way Benno Moisewitc played F# minor (no.8) on those old HMV records has never been surpassed, but Ayme comes close, so close, I'd say equal. But don't you hate competitions? If this is about music, Ayme has given me the moment of this month! (Listening on November 1st haha).
Benchmark, with her own twist, to be compared, for instance, with my favorites Pogorelich _(1990 with Deutsche Grammophon)_ , a live Sokolov version I came across and Cyprien Katsaris _(with Sony 1993, indispensable !)_ . What was cut off here at the beginning is how she grabs her necklace with that pearl made into a musical note and prays closing her eyes. She seems to always pray to the god of music before she starts playing a work. This is third stage, BTW, not second, so you can find what I mean. P.S.: But No. 16 is too soft. It needs a masculine claw.

コンクールという究極のLiveでこのクオリティ
最終順位に関わらず今回の全ての演奏の中でも白眉だ
This was the best one in all the performances in this competition.
発表会で雨だれを弾くことになったから№15ばかり何度も聞いている。この曲は聴いて涙が出るような曲ではないと思っていたが、愛美さんの演奏にはショパンの苦悩、悲しみそして愛実さん自身の苦悩も込められているのか心を揺さぶられて涙してしまうことがある。これほどエモーショナルな雨だれを弾くピアニストは色々聴き比べたが他にいない。
私も今、ショパンの雨だれを練習しています
昨年8月にブーニンが地元コンサートホールで演奏したときの雨だれに涙しました。
自分でも、自然と涙がこみ上げてきて止められなかったのです。
ジョルジュサンドが大雨の中、ショパンの元へ帰宅せず、不安に駆られたショパンが涙し弾いていたと言う曲で、サンドは帰宅して、そのショパンを見たときに、なんと彼は美しいのだと感想を漏らしていたといいます
ショパンの雨音が、この曲を演奏していると聞こえてきますね。
気持ちよく練習できる曲です❣️
Aimi is timeless and touching. I’ll watch it again and again. Thanks for this Chopin Institute.

同感。ソロだったら自分が出す音が全てだから、全部自分でコントロールすることができる。小林さんにはその能力がある。コンチェルトになると小林さんは耳がいいからどうしてもオケの音を聞いてしまう。コンチェルトの場合はテクニックでオケをねじ伏せるか、徹底して自分の意図に合うようにさせるしかないんだと思う。もともとショパンのオーケストレーションはヘボだからね。

@@GarySchmidtPianist yes, agreed, She was not satisfied with her final performance too
The first three rounds were not herself, I believe.
Before this competition, her style was completely different.
Agree, her concerto was somehow not as good as her previous round. But the Preludes will be a legend.
Her rendition of No. 13 in F sharp major is up there for my favorite thing of all time.. No words to describe it really.
Definitely the highlight of the competition for me. So many colours, just beautiful.
I've never seen or heard the Raindrop performed like this...I don't know how to describe how it made me feel. It's just...I'm spellbound.
Yes. It's subtle and sublime like no other interpretation I ever heard.
Best rendition of the preludes to date
昨日コンサート行ってきましたが緊張感に迫る演奏で突然襲ってきた感動で泣きそうになりました。彼女の何種類もあるpの音量でのビルドアップが最高です。ドイツ音楽を思わせるミニマルな感じがまたおしゃれです。
Aimi's renditions are always a pure pleasure to experience. So much talent, hard work, and heart put into them.
what a joy to listen to aimi playing these 24 preludes. played perfectly and with amazing musical expression, like a kaleidoscope of many different pictures that form a whole together. absolutely stunning performance.
There is a vulnerability to her playing that I think was lacking when she performed in 2015. Chopin and especially these preludes needs that intimate vulnerability as well as moments of extreme fortitude. She balances this perfectly. A highlight of the competition.
Cieszę się,ze słuchałam od rana do nocy konkursu,bo teraz wiem na temat muzyki F.Chopina o wiele więcej!
入賞おめでとうございました。それよりも、
渾身の前奏曲、心が震えました。ありがとうございます。

Pan Fryderyk Chopin jest dumą Polski! Cały naród jest z niego dumny! 🇵🇱
Awesome! I’ve been living for a long time and i don’t know if i’ve heard a better performance. I was extremely lucky to hear these preludes live at the National Philharmonic. Now not a day goes by without me going back to this recording.
The sound is so beautiful and sink deeply into my mind。Her Chopin is so elegant.
Stumbled across this and there is so much soul in her performance. I appreciate how she takes her time focusing on each and every song. For example I feel like #17 is so often rushed through, but has so much to offer as a prelude. I have been teaching myself the full opus 28 for a few years and hearing it played like this is both encouraging... and discouraging... because I have a long way to go.
Я встретил вас - и все былое
В отжившем сердце ожило;
Я вспомнил время золотое -
И сердцу стало так тепло…
#24 shows the physicality of her performance, small hands, huge sound
Thank you Aimi for all these wonderful stories you tell us.
I listened to all who played in this competition and in the end I only come back to AIMI. AIMI's performance is the essence of finesse. I believe in French that is 'Caractier'. I don't know the corect spelling, I only knowThomas Manshardt said few pianists have Caractier, which is finesse in English. I don'tknow what those judges went by, but the most complete expression of finesse is in the presentation of these preludes. None of the other pianists match it. She fumbled the cello prelude but exelled in all of the others!
‘Finesse’ sounds awfully French too - the word has French origins. Agree that it perfectly describes Aimi’s playing. But fumbled….sorry, I don’t hear that.
No. 17 in A flat major (29:24) is one of my all time favourites, wow!
No. 17 said that he likes Aimi the most.
This may have been the best Chopin ever played. The competion must be about something other than artistry for anyone else to be considered “competition” against this.
Definitely
The other guy was sweating more, therefore he got 1st place.
She would must be always the First Prize!!!! Amazing, Superb!!!!
Coming back again because why not. This is so good.
Aimi jest wyjątkowa. Wspaniale wykonanie pięciu preludiów w czasie Gali Konkursu Chopinowskiego w Filharmonii Narodowej. Stojące owacje! Should won first price along with the winner ❤️👏👏👏
“To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable.” - Ludwig van Beethoven... Con gratulation for your fantastic interpretation and Thank You from Poland. Country of Frederic Chopin...
Silently ... such an amazing performance ... beyond ..
that d-minor.... leaves me speechless, dazed, in awe... as if I'd seen God.
To bad her Piano Concerto performance wasn't as good as her preludes....She played the Preludes better than anyone else in the competition by far imo!!!
Mistrzostwo świata!Jak ona gra!!!!!
It's useless to say it now, but I can't believe that there were three judges who gave No to this performance, how can I dislike this performance? I think it's not just a matter of taste.
nowadays it's a matter of notes, unfortunately. There was a wrong note in the 23th prelude. Maybe it was that...
I adore Aimi because i know from One video when She was baby
Dear administrator, Aimi Kobayashi played Preludes at the third state of the competition.
@M Kishida yes, the error has been corrected :)
this is a true jurney through the Preludes and the most convicing performance ever heard. She has not only a sense for sound - even the silence is touching.
at the moment I'm listening to the silence before the c sharp minor starts.
one of the powerfull moments - there are many of them.
sometimes i want to listen only the first minutes - it is always impossible to quit....
Спасибо. Очень понравилось. БРАВО !
The more I listen to this Prelude, the more I get a deeper understanding of Aimi's songs, and I'm always amazed at how to take a really delicate approach to each note. This is not an unnatural thing, of course, why play late there? By convincing yourself whether you play weakly, the attractiveness will increase.
２４曲の演奏中、第１７番アレグレット/変イ長調最高でした。
🌹AIMI CHOPIN🌹...Patrimonio espiritual de la humanidad!🌎❤
29:21 the best 🎇
Astoundingly good! So much love and respect for Ami!
Fantastic-wonderful d minor-all wonderful!
Many similarities with Cortot. Just by hearing only the first prelude do I already know she completely understood this work. A great pianist.
For me, her No.24 is currently the best on TH-cam! Better than Seong Jin Cho, Eric Lu, Yuja Wang and Dang Thai Son! ... I know that this is just my taste ... but ... I really like the way she pause at 43:40 and then gradually increase the speed while moving the hand to the left. In comparison, the other pianists just make it fast with a constant speed. The first note from the last three notes is also very powerful while the other pianists can't slay like what she did. Regarding the last three notes, the gap between the first and the second note and between the second and the third are in a different length of the gaps while the other pianists just make them equal. Not to mention the way she swing and use her shoulder, because of that, the last three notes are more powerful than using the fist hammering! ... I know the way I explain is ridiculous because I don't know the musical terms. But these are the best that I try to describe the parts of her playing style that I like.
I think I know what you mean. The subtle timings and how that helps to maintain tension and construct longer phrases is starting to remind me of Horowitz, my favorite pianist. Of course, Horowitz is a once in a century player and is a whole lot more than just timing, but... If you haven't, you should listen to young Aimi playing the Impromptu No. 1. You can hear a lot of those control in pace which to me sounds so natural and perfect, different from the rubato of other players, and is what drew me to follow her music since then.
Not since late 1990s recordings of Emili Pandolfi have I heard someone who doesn’t trample all the delicate parts, who savors them, and evokes whatever it is that lives in his arrangements.
aimi made 24 one of my favorite preludes, it's played so intensely, I keep coming back it over and over
Phenomenal performance ❤❤❤
I love this performance
What a performance, and live -- I compare with Benno Moisewitch of 1930 - 1950ies, and what can I say, this is outstanding. The last one, no-24 I have never heard anything like that, I was moved.
May I add that the way Benno Moisewitc played F# minor (no.8) on those old HMV records has never been surpassed, but Ayme comes close, so close, I'd say equal. But don't you hate competitions? If this is about music, Ayme has given me the moment of this month! (Listening on November 1st haha).
Fantastica
Stunning. Thanks for sharing your gifts with us. I hope to play as well as you in my next lifetime, coming soon.
Ależ pięknie
Benchmark, with her own twist, to be compared, for instance, with my favorites Pogorelich _(1990 with Deutsche Grammophon)_ , a live Sokolov version I came across and Cyprien Katsaris _(with Sony 1993, indispensable !)_ .
What was cut off here at the beginning is how she grabs her necklace with that pearl made into a musical note and prays closing her eyes. She seems to always pray to the god of music before she starts playing a work. This is third stage, BTW, not second, so you can find what I mean.
P.S.: But No. 16 is too soft. It needs a masculine claw.
Yes, it's her good-luck charm. She touches it again before playing prelude #13.
