Some may think that bringing out inner voices seems didactic on Mr. katsaris's part, almost perhaps patronizing. But it isn't! Its the result of meticulous study of the score, unbelievable technical ability, equality in all fingers and imagination bringing into light sounds, voices, counterpoint that perhaps even the composer himself didn't consciously intend. Personally, I have no problem with it, in fact I find it extremely fascinating and exciting.
He has the perfect control on all the note he plays, which I find in no other pianist. He can make any homophony sounds polyphonic.
Meh, it’s alright. Nice to have a change but I don’t prefer the inner voicing.
Nice idea making inner voice apparent ,esp. just before return of the main theme but maybe it was a little overstated?
I wonder what conservative classical music listeners think of this rendition. Does his initiatives stay within the range of interpretation freedom in which ones is allowed to use rubato, play couter-melodies, enhanced dynamics contrast etc ?
I personally love it.
i realize I am pretty off topic but do anyone know of a good place to watch newly released series online ?
This interpretation could only come from a pianist who doesn't just play the notes that make up a piece but painstakingly studies and examines each note of the pieces he plays. 👏👏👏👏
Have you heard Yuja Wang? He’s playing way too fast…
What an astonishing master to be admired. This is nothing short of virtuosity at its finest. We've heard this piece so many times that we think we know All the music in it, but here we are shown you can bring more beauty from something you thought had reached its peak.
PS I'm High rn
Lol
Thats haram mohammed
I didn't remember the performance, so I searched 'chopin waltz voicing' and this was the top video! Haha
exactly the same here lol
Same as well hahah
this man’s a genius
Amazing Interpretation. The best I've ever heard. Thank you!
Listen to evgeny kissins interpretation
That interpretation made me cry! Very beautiful with a lot of sensitivity ... fantastic !!!
Looking forward to enjoying this amazing approach, in terms of interpretation, live tomorrow at Megaron, Athens!!!
Thank you Maestro for the chance to listen, explore and re-invent this masterpiece through a different, magical prism!
That moment at 1:35… it’s almost like you can taste how scrumptious the notes are. It is this interpretation of the piece incarnate
Mama Mia 🤌
many years ago I listened to this interpretation and thought: brilliant pianist
Plus j' avance en âge et plus j' aime Chopin et lorsqu'il est joué avec tant de sensibilité par le Maître Katsaris alors là c' est sublime. Merci Monsieur Katsaris.
So hard to replicate, so much going on with the inner voicing lol
Je l'aime tellement cet homme. Élégance sensibilité amour délicatesse douceur authenticité émanent de sa personne. Il est une perle dont la lumière intérieure naturelle ne saurait pâlir. Je l'aime c indescriptible.
It is how I play Chopin and this waltz (my inner voices are slightly different). People say that it is about studying the score and working hard, but that is complete nonsense. It is about being able to improvise, feel the harmonies, understand the phrases. You have to play Chopin like you rewrote the music, without forgetting the intentions of the composer. The listeners of today forget about the essence.
I absolutely appreciate great pianists like Sokolov, Pletnev, Volodos, Grosvenor, Ax, just to name a few, but I miss the true freedom and that is why Katsaris is an exceptional pianist.
My understanding of inner voices all started with Kreisleriana. The piece had absorbed my mind and being. Later I realized that Chopin's music gets another dimension when feeling the inner voices. Different emotions, different thoughts, stories. You can listen for example to 4th ballade on my channel.
Simply the best
Quite marvelous and second to none.
His Father was a brilliant businessman & and kind larger than life person, full of empathy and generosity
How do you know? Information on Katsaris’ family is very scarce
As I stated previously, my father attended the same school as Cyprien’s father, worked in the same company after leaving the same and always kept in touch with my visiting the family in Paris.
Just fascinating! Bravo!
Interesting interpretation. Brings out inner voices I haven’t heard before. There was even a brief march like sequence.
Brilliant. Full of sensitivity & pathos. Saw him first playing at his parents’ house in Boulevard Suchet. His father went to school with mine.
Yeah great, but his father didn’t go to school with Yuja Wang did he?
Musica sublime eseguita con grande grazia da una pianista altrettanto bella grazie
So amazing!!!
Magnificent 👏
Inconceivable 😭😭
Wow never listen that valzer like that..... WOW❤❤❤❤
Оркестровое голосоведение!
Whether or not one finds the voicings acceptable, (I think after nearly 200 years and thousands of recordings, this music can take almost any interpretation. I see this one purely as an expression of Katsaris' awe at Chopin's extraordinary contrapuntal fastidiousness,) this performance captures the strange otherworldliness of Chopin's music which I see described in almost every contemporary report of his playing I've found.
this man has the most stereotypical image of a pianist but he plays so intellectually to be fair
What is this?
What do you mean
Difficile de jouer plus mal cette très belle Valse en ut # mineur de CHOPIN.Complètement superficiel , ampoulé et prétentieux ! Je propose de lire le commentaire concernant cette même Valse que j'ai laissé pour l'admirable et très poétique interprétation de l'extraordinaire pianiste Yuja WANG.Elle a parfaitement ressenti le génie de CHOPIN.Une pure merveille expressive de sobre élégance.
Pour le pianiste ci-dessus voici ma note : 03 / 20.
Lionel VIGNERESSE.
J'ai critiquée Yuja Wang personnellement pour la façon dont elle a jouée cette valse à un bis. J'admets je l'aurais pas fait si je l'avais reconnue tout d'abord. Ce qui est rigolo c'est qu'elle m'a dit que j'avais raison (et oui, je maintiens mon opinion). Plus tard j'ai appris qu'elle avait eu un accident à la main droite avant ce concert. Ça n'a pas fait d'autre que croître mon respect pour elle comme personne et musicien, d'ailleurs c'était une discussion très chaleureuse et agréable. Ceci dit, cette interprétation de Katsaris n'est pas là meilleure, il a eu de meilleurs moments avec cette valse, et parmi les meilleures interprétations que j'ai jamais écoutées.
Tu nous montreras toi qui a l'air d'être un champion du piano!!
Trop rapide. Notes trop fortes à la main gauche dans la deuxième partie.
Si t'as pas compris, ce qui semble être le cas, avec ses 2 mains d'ailleurs pas que la main gauche, il fait ressortir une deuxième mélodie, mais c'est peut-être un peu trop fin pour toi on dirait!! Les notes trop fortes, ça s'appelle de la finesse de jeu mais ça te dépasse!!
While it's super impressive he can play like that, it's completely wrong in the sense of this piece. Chopin never used these kinds of secondary melodies, and this type of playing is not in the style of how Chopin or other similar composers wrote/intended. While it's great to interpret pieces, and it's incredible how he can bring out these melodies, you still have to consider what the composer intended
Chopin wrote these kinds of secondary melodies all the time. There's often direct evidence in the score (see end of second theme, Ballade no. 1 - there are accents on the inner voice). Sometimes there isn't, but I'm sure Chopin still knew they were there.
Also, I'm all for ignoring the composer's intentions, but that's just my opinion.
@@KingstonCzajkowski While chopin did write secondary melodies, the passages he is interpreting as such are not correct. Asking for so much out of a Chopin waltz is impossible. Additionally, all of classical piano (and perhaps music, in general) is about interpreting the composer’s intentions. While you can play on your own unique style, to disregard what was intended is not the way classical pianist are trained, and they shouldn’t be trained to do so.
@@aCertainZypher I respect your opinion but personally disagree. I think we probably have different goals as musicians and have been taught differently as well. I also believe there is a lot of merit in what you are saying and it will help me to keep it all in mind.
You probably held a candle when Chopin wrote this waltz. Brilliant performers can reveal new meanings in their works that the author was not aware of.
@@koljadoev2757 Of course, and that’s seen all throughout pianist history. What’s different is that he is completely forsaking Chopin’s style of music in favour of his own tastes, something which is considered taboo in classical music
