Compare this poetic performance of K 330 with the others posted on RUclips and it will be clear how far Zimerman stands above the others. Runs like strings of pearls, not rushed, hurried, but natural. And the breathing of phrases, shaping, and tension. Thank you for posting. Wonderful.
I share the same thought with you. Although not a musician, I can hear each note he plays without any rush or hurry, simply following the rhythm accurately with emotion embedded in the compositions by the composer. A really fine pianist!
plays from the heart .
It is such a pity that this hasn't been recorded with a better quality, especially for the audio. RUclips ruins the sound at lower resolutions but you still can clearly hear how incredibly skilled he is. I am practicing this song myself, it is good inspiration. I have a lot to learn about how to use the pedals. Though I practice the piano myself I didn't know him before I watched this video, now I know that he was being considered one of the best pianists.

He teaches us an important lesson: don't go for an incredibly high beats per minute or incredible trills but play it properly. .
Sokolovs is great also!
Jesus. I've heard so much music played by this man and I still can't believe anyone is capable of such musicality. Unsurpassed.
Oh dear, you should open up and keep exploring ...
@@pakshunlee1472 Who would you say is better then? Every performance of Zimerman I have seen transcends virtuosity into the sublime. He is THE Chopin performer of our generation.
Not just the Chopin performer. This is the great thing about Zimerman, He can play Chopin and sound like Chopin, He can play Liszt and sound like Liszt, He can play Schubert and sound like Schubert, He can play Brahms and sound like Brahms.
And all that seemingly effortlessley, He is simply THE Best pianist to ever have lived. I doubt there is anybody that could do better as there simply is no room for improvement here.
@@mateuszloniewski absolutely, this is unreal, anyone who plays piano classically and listens to this can relate to this comment. This performance is utterly insane, he's got so much control over the piano. It's assumed it's easy to get a piano to sound like that, it's so not, that level of detail is scary, every note he plays is attended to.
This video is one of those videos that reminds me when I'm feeling good about my own playing that I will never be able to achieve the sound this man can conjure on a piano. It's not a negative thing either like jealousy. It's just absolute respect to him, the work to get to this level of mastery is only attainable by dedicating your entire life to it and for that I'm not willing to completely sacrifice but this guy has and this is where you end up, in pure heaven when you can play such beautiful music. Every time I watch him perform it's a truly humbling experience and tonight I've returned to listen to and watch this man's perfect technique deliver some of the most careful mozart anyone has ever heard. Thank technology for saving this performance for the future generations that are keeping the music alive. Also for anyone that disagrees, put decent ear phones on.
Edit. I forgot to add that the reason I think his sound is so unique is that I'm sure its zimmerman that plays on his own action that he regulates, pretty sure I read it somewhere, it's what sets his play it apart imo if that's true, the thing with playing the piano is that you're always playing different instruments which feel totally different to your own piano which you practice on all the time, however he's playing on his piano by the way it feels and that's really important, some musicians struggle more than others with this.
@@justinnoble6506 can we just enjoy this for what it is and not make it a competition
This man could end wars by sitting on his piano in the middle of the battlefield and playing.
wow, part of me genuinely wonders if that would work ...
I’m here to ask about ur name... GIVE EARTH BACK TO DINASOURS????
@@lafs7967 XD
@Dustin Zhao 🤣😂
how old r u guys?, i dunno just wanna start a conversation..... in quarantine
Zimerman definitely defines the word perfection. Every phrase in this sonata is full of beautiful colors. Mozart just can't be played any better.
How bout he who created it? Let us not forget...these pianist nowadays are just playing the music those in the past wrote down.
@@chadpresser7584 coz there too too many pieces waiting them to play, e.g. Mozart no need to play Chopin's pieces, lots of time he saved
@@chadpresser7584
Mozart,zglobiu și frumos!!!
@@chadpresser7584
Mozart,fără cuvinte.
Mozart would have played better because when he was born the piano didn't exist yet. Cello speaking back in the days
1. Allegro moderato 0:03
2. Andante cantabile 7:00
3. Allegretto 14:16
I remember him when he won Chopin competition in 1975, a slim and shy guy, overwhelmed by this great success.
Krystian Zimerman is probably my favorite pianist, it's like he shows the true beauty of every song he plays
Perhaps a pianist interprets a composer better than others, I am for Glen Gould when it comes to JS Bach, and Poliini for Beethoven. I know K330 well, and have listened to it many times by different pianists. But yes, Zimerman has a pace and feeling for the timbre of this piece which exceeds all recordings I have heard. I agree a superb performance. My problem is when I find perfection, then I can listen to no other. For K330 it now has to be Zimerman.
@@malcolmabram2957 I never liked Gould with anything, make sure to check out Olafsson for the Goldberg variations if you haven't already.
With Mozart's sonatas you can not hide behind empty virtuosity and exaggerated drama. This is pure and absolute music: either you are good or mediocre. Zimerman with his unparallel touch, caressing with love and confidence the music of the most magical of all composers.
Good, mediocre or terrible. Usually I have heard the last one. Mozart shows the pianist and their pianism in the most naked and pure form.
私も同じように思います。
K.Zimermanのピアノの表現は、後世に伝えなければならない、大切な事象を説得力をもって、教えてくれているのです。
K.Zimermanがいなかったら、どうなっていたのでしょうか？
thank You so much my beloved Mr. Praguer!
The finest Mozart performance I've ever seen
Khatia
Noah Qi
but not heard!
I also really like mitsuko uchida’s k545 second mov. performance very much.
Yes. This so Fully captures the spirit of Mozart.
He plays Mozart with such incredible elegance!
dawn he has really got Mozart sensityve touch, breahting and joking at 20:02
So funny!
Mr. Krystian Zimerman is one of the finest pianist of our time, he is also a conductor as well, however, most of his times have been used for musical performing as a solo pianist. Many Thanks To Mr. Zimerman for his wonderful performing, as seeing as the greatest contributions for classical music society.
toan nang yesssssssss!!!!!!
I love his touch, his way of playing, so light....
대단하시네요.......저 이거 콩쿨곡인데
Nada Stojanovic pfft
Just like Lang Lang said in his Masterclass, this piece must be played with light fingers
That ending was hilarious!! He plays this effortlessley with the greatest attention to detail. Amazing performance.
It sounds like he is appreciating each and every note! Love it
It is probably trite to say that any concert pianist is amazing, but I am in awe of his touch, his clarity, interpretation, technical facility, you name it. Thank heaven for modern recording technology.
I completely agree with you, he is truly incredible, I’m listening to it while learning the first song.
I just discovered Zimerman less than a month ago, and I can honestly say that he is my favourite pianist. I love how he plays at just the right tempo, no rush, while also executing the notes with perfect accuracy. There's feeling in the notes as well, like there's a purpose for them.
He's your "textbook" pianist in my opinion. So refined and accurate. I want to see him live before he's too old!
I discovered him 40 some years ago after I purchased his Chopin concerto no 2. I used to listen to that record over and over again as a child. I still love this version the most of this concerto.
I discovered him looking for the best rendition of Mozart's "Rondo Alla Turca", and his was above and beyond anyone else's.
Since then he's become my favorite for many pieces, including some where I always considered Horowitz (who remains my overall favorite) unsurpassable.
Zimerman, Horowitz, Trifonov, Pletnev, Richter, those are my clear favorites across the ages. (Yes, Rubinstein is great but not always to my taste.)
He is definitely one of the best pianists ever existed. he is a real genius
I find myself like being drawn into the another world where my mind could be spiritually liberated from the real world on listening to this sonata.
Superb. And wonderful to watch his facial expressions too, because he's not acting, he's merely being his own playful self. Watch him playing Chopin's Ballades and you get a whole different Zimerman! He feels every note, and that's just the way it should be!
I love this, but it makes me a little sad. I always think of Zimerman as that young guy with the sandy hair from the 80s. Time marches on . . . (but he's still dapper).
Replying to you so you can see this video again
Ages like fine wine honestly he's still going strong
People complain about hearing him sing along, but to me it shows how deeply he is feeling the music. He is literally resonating with his instrument.
When did he sing along? I didn't hear anything
Are you thinking of Glenn Gould?
@@94alhfI think you are right…maybe a different recording. Nonetheless this man is amazing…His Chopin is unapproachable
Fantastic. He captures the heavenly softness and silky smoothness, he does it in such a relaxed way, he obviously gets the most out of the piece. I love the unhurried and elegant fashion
Other top class pianists have played this sonata as perfectly as a human can do. But Zimerman invented his very own and unique interpretation of this sonata that perhaps even Mozart will be amazed. The depth and the emotion of this performance are just so immense that it must be God holding his hands to do it.
This is like the best music I've ever heard
What’s crazy to me is his extensive use of sustain and soft pedal… all those nuances bring this performance to another level. He has complete control and IS the music.
This is by far the best interpretation of this piece on youtube!
Ive heard this piece a thousand times, he made me feel like it was the first time i heard it. This was fabulous, i learned a new way to listen to this piece
Everything Zimmerman plays is always incredible.
I can’t agree more :)
2nd movement performance WOW...exact techinque with delightful ornamentation and pauses 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Makes me want to hear more of his Mozart.
Good luck finding it! He is so picky about his recordings and has scorned youtube for posting recordings that he is not satisfied with. Notoriously perfectionist, not that I'm complaining!
+ David Rogoff The Pathetique, Mozart's 8th sonata is on RUclips.
+Gerry Rains Could you share the links, please?
Martin Alvarado Zimerman never liked to have more than a few of his videos on RUclips. This is his only recording of Mozart currently on RUclips. However, all is not lost. Search for (do not include the quotation marks) "Mozart Grinberg", "Mozart Uchida Piano Concerto", "Mozart Pires", and "Mozart Kocsis-Rankj". I personally love " "Mozart Kocsis-Rankj K 448". Surprisingly enough it is very difficult for pianists to play Mozart. To quote a concert pianist friend of mine, "Too much music - too few notes". Mozart was the ultimate composer in terms of efficiency - there were no superfluous notes and that is what makes him hard to play.
+Gerry Rains I think you may have meant Beethoven's Piano Sonata No.8. Sorry to point it out. I always believed that Zimerman has the best interpretation of Beethoven's piano concertos especially with Bernstein and Vienna Philharmonic. Today it is the first time I found him playing Mozart's piano sonata. Sheer cheer and beauty!
I cannot get over the second movement and its sentimental beauty..At min 10:00 my favourite passage starts. It could make you cry. It also makes me think of Schubert a little too
I'm still waiting to see Zimerman playing live. Beauty, softness and elegance to an unsurpassable degree. Then, I could die and rest in peace.
I have loved Zimerman's Chopin for a long time. Here he elevated my feelings about Mozart in about 10 seconds and nearly brought tears to my eyes. He is Krystian Zimerman in every phrase.
I am no longer surprised when I decide to watch Krystian's performance of a piece and am blown away. He truly is up there with the best. My piano teacher hasn't even heard of him.
Agreed. A poet of the keyboard. Arguably the greatest living pianist.
get a new teacher -/
If your piano teacher has never heard of him...wow......you definitely need a new teacher who has a clue..sorry to say :/
I believe you should get a better one then
get a new teacher
2nd movt: love his variations on the repeats and also, the way he gives a sense of space without losing the line
Absolutely charming!! Listening again and again, delighted to discover that Zimerman's Mozart is just as outstanding as his Schubert and Chopin. Thank you for posting this sonata on My Mix!
1st Movement: 0:05
2nd Movement: 6:59
3rd Movement: 14:17
Thank you king
k
So good, this is the best version I think. He really finds the right tempo, pauses, effects, and makes it become a story to listen.
I cannot imagine any pianist play better Mozart’s pieces than Zimerman. The sounds are just so beautiful, made me calm down when I was mad. 😅
This is pretty much the first time I’ve been captivated by any recording of one of Mozart’s piano works. Just superb!
Piano just can't be played better!
*Played
Fixed, thanks!
Jamie Cooki3 Monster -playeded-
He plays the piano with his hands and heart unlike some pianists with their face and body.
I like THAT.

Cough cough, Lang Lang lol
That's what Mozart called affectation. It would be particularly rude to do it to his music, as he despised it too. Zimerman is all class.
What amazes me about his playing style is his capability of playing the music so innocently with such elegance. Mozart is especially difficult because you must have this airy, innocent, pleasant sound, but his music always has some kind of tension and seriousness that makes it extremely difficult to play. Most amateur musician tend to play Mozart too 'allegro' and 'jumpy' and tend to miss the point of what Mozart really wanted to say in the music. Zimmerman nailed Mozart in both aspects and to be honest, I've not heard a better interpretation of this piece in youtube. He beats every musician with this piece. It just astounds me!! The only way to master Bach and Mozart is to restrain the flow of your emotion by trying to keep it as simple as possible. Perhaps, this is the reason why I have an easier time practicing something like "La Campanella" in violin than Mozart Violin Concerto No 5 in A major. I never seem to be satisfied playing his sonatas and concertos...
Joondo Chang greatly said about how and why Mozart pieces are so hard to perfect it!!
Yes. Mozart is very challenging to interpret.
20:03! Love that gesture! It's as if he was saying "oh, is something worrying me..? Nah, everything's okay!" :D
What a great interpretation: Sensitive, transparent and a bit fragile, thoughtful and also charming. Mozart would have enjoyed it :-)
Full of love and joy and a touch of a shadow, a brilliant interpretation
Just ordered a ticket for his recital in April next year, I'm already looking foward to it now!
I agree there is never a dull moment with Zimerman. His performance here is simply magical, and I love all his other recordings! Somehow his interpretations always seem to resonate with me.
Yes, I know the video is out of sync with the audio. I've implored those more technically savvy than I to tell me how to fix the issue and no one has been able to, yet. If you know how, PM me and I'll fix it.
A great performance indeed, even the Mozart Police can't complain. Where other Steinway virtuosi sometimes sound a bit forceful and insisting (the dilemmas of performing piano music written before 1800), Zimerman finds the perfect balance. Thank you for sharing this legendary recording, may it be watched and heard by millions more.
Favorite interpretation of the piece, hands down, no doubt. I love everything Krystian Zimerman plays.
Such a treat. Wonderfully expressive, cat like elegance, subtlety, bottomless depth, fun, all arising from the most profound stillness and clarity. Food indeed for the soul. Really lets Mozart out. Thank you.
The spirit of Mozart’music will live on forever never to die in the hearts of Mozart Lovers ❤
His Mozart is too good to be true. Surreal!
That face in the deceptive cadence in the ending :) and after that the hand gesture looks like a 'just joking guys' followed by the powerful ending chords.. his playing is like a wise man telling his adventures, precise and focussed as the wise man and his mind are and joyful and emotional as his adventures were.
Most wonderful and touching how he interprets Mozart. Mozart is all about communication but in
a heavenly way
God bless such a gifted person!
I agree
He is already blessed, thats the reason, he can play like this
What sublime playing! A joy to hear!
This is supreme, played by a Mozart master. Thank you much for putting here!
Could not be anymore perfectly played. Sincere thanks for this incredible treat !
The spirit of sounds of Mozart’s music will have been crystallizing themselves wonderfully as well as fantastically with the melodies both
harmoniously and exquisitely woven of Beauty and Simplicity eternally in the hearts of Mozart lovers around the world.
20:01 :) He's a genius!
+aimsoft82 hahaha. Is that pause in the score? :D
+Apetecan7 No. It's his own interpretation of it ;D
aimsoft82 haha so fun
aimsoft82 q trouxa
Apetecan7 I like minish Cap xD
This has to be one of my favourite performances of anything ever :-) GREAT job Mr Zimerman!

Best version ever heard, he's great. Thanks for this video.
I love his technic because you actually forgot it for his musicality...
+Etienne Delaunois
Precisely! He's a fantastic musician.

Zimerman one of the very few who understans how to (TRANSCRIBE) piano forte music to the modern piano, for which it was NOT written. The modern piano usually desstroys the character of Mozart and Bach. But Mr. Zimerman understands this challenge and has made the necessary adaptations. Usually, I cannot listen to Mozart played on a modern piano. It is a truly enchanting performance and reveals a great sensativity and musical sense that few possess, My advice is to seek an historical piano forte maker and buy on to play according to the original sound Mozart had in mind. But this here is none the less, very beautifully played.
+Ron Walker One explanation to this could be that Krystian Zimerman learned how to exchange the keyboard of a grand piano himself. (This was necessary for him when he grew up. It was much cheaper to do it yourself.)
This is not a transcription by any definition. Since the invention of the modern piano there are hundreds of great pianists who understand perfectly well how to use technique and musicality to make Mozart sound good and true. In this regard there is nothing special about Zimerman. That is not to say that he isn't a fine pianist by all standards.
@@MusikPiratCH exchange? For what? Another keyboard? It's very simple, just pull it out and slide in another one.
I generally don't like Mozart, but this sounds so perfect, humble and serene that you cannot help but like it. For those complaining about his breathing / humming - get over it! It's part of the recording's charm.
how can you not like Mozart......that's a crazy statement, dude.
Why? I simply am not a fan of the Classical period music, in general. I don't mean I hate it, but I don't like it, either. It fails to impress my emotions.
Neo Doryphoros I thought the same, but then i learned to listen to the pure beauty of Mozarts music. There is nothing comparable. I also like the other great composers, but mozart is the greatest in beeing simply harmonic. So forget that you don't really like the classical period and listen concentrated.
Jörg-Martin Rehder Thanks for the advice, and good for you... :)
Thanks... I've listened to quite a lot of Mozart until now and I find I like his more dramatic works better (the Requiem, the d-moll piano concerto, for example). It's not I don't like him at all, but something doesn't work for me. I find the freedom and honesty of feelings of the baroque period more appealing...
Mr. Zimmerman, I've seen your videos (scarcely) before, but today after listening to your Chopin's Scherzo & seeing your 1975 performance of one of the Mazurkas, & now this Mozart piece, my attention is totally captured. Maybe I gravitated to the color change of your hair, which implies a rich history, so then I knew I was in for a treat if I continued to explore your performances; & what a treat it is. The flick of the hand at the end of this piece really summed up the great spirit behind this performance. . . it was like "get out of here, homie don't play dat!". Your gift is obviously extraordinarily amazing. I am truly inspired. Thank you for the awesome works!!!
Watch him play Beethoven's piano concerto 5 "Emporer, you'll be blown away
What a terrific performance from a superb artist!
On listening to this melody I find myself being drawn into the wonderfully harmonious world of “simple”and“beautiful” where my soul could be totally liberated from this world. Great thanks be to Mozart for his musical blessing❤
7:00 In this movement so many surprisingly beautifull and coherent themes,only Mozart and his brilliant musical idea! in this case (I think) above the pianistic resources.
This movement is immensely beautiful. His playing brings a quality to it... So far haven't found a better version on RUclips.. Something almost ethereal about his...
I love this sonata and Zimerman’s interpretation is amazing as always!
wow this man's touch is amazing
The Mozart that I loved. Such a world genius plus the pianist makes the perfect match. Amazing
A wonderfully playful and naughty interpretation , loved it.
I have yet to see better interpretation than this one by Zimerman. I have listened to Pletnev, Horowitz, and Uchida, but this one is still my favourite.
Clarity is astounding. Thank you.
He uses more rubato in the slow movement than I have heard in other performances. Very effective. He really brings out the melody line, too.
That ending was on point tho!!!!!!!
There are no right words to describe how much I LOVE this dude.
I might be depressed and suicidal for almost ten years now, but I swear, just a brief moment of listening him playing + looking at his facial expressions gives me a strenght to postpone my demise once again
Voyez toutes les merveilles musicales, naturelles, un oiseau, un ruisseau, un regard tendre, quelques nuages, la beauté d'une main...Vivez donc malgré vos souffrances, nous ne faisons que quelques pas sur cette terre , faisons les légers, doux, harmonieux, fraternels, resplendissants !
@@mobypiano très sage comme commentaire. Mes respects
Mozart’s melody could be said the most harmonious music of Beauty and Simplicity in a word.
Magic touch !
Not Quite!

No !
He has the loveliest hand of anyone playing.
Martha Argerich...
Bellissima interpretazione. C'è tutto Mozart: eleganza, gioiosita', tenerezza, mestizia, candore, leggerezza...luminosità, mistero.
Che magnifico tocco.
he has one of the most perfect techniques in my estimation.
I find this Mozart piece charming and scintillating and Zimerman performs it to perfection. I enjoy the happy look on his face. He's so charming!
The music should never sweat - Mozart. This performance is the embodiment of his philosophy.
What a wonderful interpretation, as I imagine Mozart would have played it himself. Such joy in the playing and such subtle articulation. Absolutely loved it.
Safe to say it would be quite different from this if Mozart had played it.
So grateful for your having posted this performance. Outstanding performance.
Wonderful performance !! Thank you so much for sharing it .☺
A shame this isn't available on Spotify. Zimerman's interpretation of this Sonata is flawless
What a beautiful rendition! Ashamed to say that I've never listened to him. He's Wonderful!
I can not remember how many times I have alredy heard this performance!!! Numerous times!!!! Coming back over and over!!!!
I feel so delightful while listening his playing.
What a talented n gifted pianist.
00:53 is the best part
But their is no such best part because all is awesome 😅
9:59 such a perfect tempo, such a perfect breath, wahou! Thanks D L Music for posting.
I love the way he does remark his expressions with the way he plays the piano.
Thanks for this with us! It's gorgeous!!
Outstanding performance. He doesn’t play music, the music plays him.
