To be fair, there's "good" distractions when it comes to creativity in the arts. And by good, I mean tragedies, heartbreak and pain. Terrible for happiness, but great for artistic expression.

I've never heard of the 1980's winner Dang Thai Son, but I surely enjoyed the short passage of him playing here. So relaxed and emphasizing notes that I usuaaly dont hear in this scherzo. He seems really good
His rendition of Prelude 24 is, in my opinion, the best. He was the pioneer of the fist hitting on the final 3 low Ds in that prelude and taught it to his student, Eric Lu. Kate Liu and Eric Lu are his students who both took prizes in the 2015 competition.
@@FrostDirt i think that this unawareness was caused by the presence of Ivo pogorelich at the same year. I'm not technical enough to hear the "looseness" in Ivo's following of the score. That's what got him out of the competition apparently, since there was no complaints about his technique
@@sergeirachmaninoff6397 Yes, Ivo indeed was causing a big controversy to the point that Argerich had to resign from the jury board. Pollini came second, by the way, you might know him.
@@FrostDirt pollini resignd too? Wow that's tough. Both of them, Argerich and Pollini are huge names in the classical world.

For now I'm just focusing on understanding musical structure, such as sonata form and identifying themes and variations, for example. This gives me some sort of pleasure and I would really like to be able to follow an hour long symphony, grasping a little bit of the deapth that composers have to offer. I need to learn more though
Alexei Sultanov, even from the limited recordings we have of him, is one of my absolute favorite pianists! God I wish we could have seen him mature and developed. RIP
I was very lucky to see him at Chopin competition when he unjustly got a second prize 🙄… Nobody played like Sultanov … he was and always will be one of a kind…. R.I.P Alexei ….
Ashkenazy was probably disappointed in his 2nd prize in 1955. The videos from the 60s of him playing the first two Etudes from Op. 10 are as brilliant as anything by the winners though and his live Chopin Sonata No. 2 is also fantastic.
In fact Michelangeli was in the jury when Ashkenazy got 2nd place and refused to sifn me the pricze, stating "he should've been n. 1". History definitely shows who was right, between Michelangeli and the other judges.
Unfortunately he had a habit of editing his video recordings. For instance, you can see the bench get swapped out in the middle of the first ballade from that same set: ruclips.net/video/o8oyb0fRUas/видео.html.
@@jdmonaco2493 not his fault (some think that this is the reason his Ballades were taken down). Actually, he is a perfectionist that dislikes studio releases, for instance he recorded Liszt's Sonata in B Minor 76 times before he found anything of his standard. And he literally handpicked his orchestra members to record the Chopin Concerto.
@@jdmonaco2493 So that wasn't one take? I never noticed that. Seat keeps changing back and forth several times. Did a good job splicing the takes and matching the sound but could he actually play it that perfect in one take? Probably not.
Rafał Blechacz is quite young, he won everything in the contest of 2005 but somehow didn't want to be a RUclips star. RUclips people rarely mention him and many don't even know his name. Strange
many first winners of this Competions very far from great pianists of 20Th Century , a few had a real carreer of international solists , it's a indisputable fact !
How could Alexei Sultanov not win first prize? He won the Van Cliburn competition. Sadly, he died at age 35. Interesting that early winners were old guys. How things have changed!
Alexey Sultanov won more then first prize. He won the hearts of hundreds of thousands of people around the world!!! And every day there are more fans of the Brilliant Pianist Alexey Sultanov!
Because judges nowadays tend to pick hot young prodigies with flashy techniques that are easily marketable, rather than fully developed and mature rounded musicians. Yunchan Lim is an exception because his playing (and his personality) has the depth and wisdom of an old soul. There's basically no point in even thinking about winning a competition if you're older than early 20's... though it is good for exposure and for bios. It also helps if you have connections with the judges. Judges can't give scores to those who they've taught or had connections with but there is nothing stopping them from marking OTHER candidates down.
He's still my favorite winner so far of the Chopin competition, maybe besides Kristian Zimmerman. His playing was phenomenal. He's not as good as he once was, unfortunately.
@@AoichanpianoCho is excellent, no question. I was reacting to @kyungho_seong, who said Cho is "the best pianist throughout a century", a statement I very strongly view as false. When you say "there is no highest position," I see you agree with me.
