Quick add-on: Someone below wrote, 'Too fast and not enough warmth' citing Zimmerman as an example of how this should be played. Wrong, there is plenty of warmth in this rendition and it is clearly NOT too fast. If this is lacking in *warmth* then so is Horowitz' early interpretation which virtually every music critic agrees is a benchmark rendition. Zimmerman melodramatizes everything Chopin and simply is not a top-level pianist (not even close), so if you're accustomed to that 'over-romanticization,' then anything less will seem *cold* to you (you, of course, would be in error). This is a truly excellent interpretation, not perfect, but clearly excellent. Chopin would approve - and so would VH.
Re "cold" I think the room, floor, the micing, the sound of the instrument is a part of this, in other words, the recording technique, possibly the physical stage construction. The recording is a little hard to listen to, and I do not mean the playing.
I humbly apologize for my error re: Horowitz, who never recorded the 2nd Ballade (thinking 3rd Ballade which he did - a benchmark of excellence. A fool's mistake - mine;-).
One of the best interpretations of the Ballade in F (better than Wang). Clean, slightly mechanical but truly excellent on balance. Oddly, she swings and misses completely on the Polonaise Fantasie (a more difficult piece *to* interpret, of course - the benchmark for that is Horowitz 1968 Carnegie Hall for those interested).
What's a good tempo for you? Kobayashi clocks in around the same time as Zimerman, and approx 1/2 minute slower than Rubinstein. Also, what precisely do you mean by not enough love?
All performances in Aimi's second stage are at the highest level, simply outstanding
Certainly one of my very favorite performances from the entire competition! Extraordinary!!!!!!!!!!!
小林愛実さん、ショパンコンクール第4位入賞、大変おめでとうございます！💐遅ればせながら、貴女の全ての演奏を、ずっと拝聴しております🎶🍀何という、ショパンへの愛情に溢れた、若々しく切ないノクターンでしょうか…或いは、気迫に満ちた、凄まじい超絶技巧の、木枯らしのエチュード、24のプレリュードは、まるで次々に移ろう、美しい映画を観ている様な感覚さえ致します✨まだまだ他にも、洗練の極みというべき、素晴らしい演奏ばかりで、楽しみながら、勉強させていただいております！🎶🍀
小林さん、本当におめでとうございます！💐心からの祝福を申し上げます💐
Queen!!!
Bravo Aimi!!! 😭😭😭 So perfect and emotional
That was really expressive.. Congrats Aimi :)
こんにちは！
この曲は色んな人の弾いたの聞いたけど
みんな大きな岩石が落ちてくるみたいなイメージでしたが
小林さんのは
凄い歌心みたいな物を感じます！！
何かの小説の中を音を通して読んでいるみたいでした！！
この曲は歳をとったポリーニの演奏やアルゲリッチの演奏を覚えていますが
ポリーニは楽譜にめちゃくちゃ忠実な
学者のような弾き方をしていてアルゲリッチは燃えるアルゼンチン魂！みたいな印象がありましたが
小林さんのはまた違う繊細な魅力を感じました！！
非常に完成度の高いバラードでした。
ダイナミクスもディテールもうまく体を使ってコントロールしていて素晴らしいです。

一次ラウンド終わった頃に振る舞いガーとか心無い日本人のコメントが一部湧きましたけど、ずば抜けた音楽性で黙らせた愛美様本当にかっこいい。
リストそうそう
リストそうそう弾いて
just wow
She's a great inspiration to me ❤❤❤
Thank you 🎼
Ta ballada to istne arcydzieło. To moja trzecia ulubiona ballada autorstwa Fryderyka Chopina
To niezbyt wysoko patrząc na to ,że chopin napisał 4 ballady XD
ショパンコンクール、オンライン中継でしたが、あいみさんの2番を初めて聞いた時、感動しました。
それから何度も何度も2番聴いてます。
私、自称岩出市のピアニストです。今日、バラード第2番を弾いてみて、ショパンに驚いています。ショパンも分かり易い音楽を作っていたのですね。
B R A W O !!!
Beautiful melody, suddenly intense tone, delicate pianissimo. It's a wonderful performance that shows Chopin's feelings.
こばやしせんぱいがきれいです
愛実ちゃんはやっぱり天才ですね❣️
I liked the rubato in the coda 😊
She rushed it a bit right after 6:41 . If she could have held just another beat or two, it would have made a difference.
Ballade op. 38, first part: look at her fingers, like a spider, searching legato...
6:08 左手がちゃんと歌ってる！

Honestly how can you not consider Zimerman a top level pianist?
See if you can find Tohru in the audience
とても洗練された音楽
震えますねぇ

Beg to differ on the Polonaise Fantasie. I could listen to Aimi’s interpretation forever.
아...발라드는 영 아닌거 같음...이번 대회
아이미 개인적으로 매우 고평가하는데, 발라드랑 협주곡은 좀 아쉬움이 있네요...
Too fast not enough warmth extremely technically gifted tho

@@jellospeed a better word would be warmth, listen to zimerman or Katsaris play this
@@marshan1226 agree
Absolutelly brilliant coda. The performance as whole is undoubtfully at the level of 1st prize winner.
This girl is AMAZING!!!!!
