Comme disait ma maman, Chopin est le poète du piano et votre sensibilité rend justice à cette poésie. Votre émotion est palpable et votre jeu sublime! Vous êtes extraordinaire et vous écouter est un pur ravissement!
I just heard him interpret Chopin's Nocturne No. 17 in B major in way I never imagined possible on CBC radio, it was sublime. That is one of my favorite things about music, classical or otherwise -- when you can take a song that you've heard many times, and transform it simply by playing it in a different way.
Charles, with your great talent and those hands of yours, I've got to admit that this so special Nocturne is a piece of heaven on earth. Thanks a million for creating and maintaining such joy. Bravissimo and may God bless and keep you in His love for ever.
Egg MCMUFFIN he did not play a d natural... he just ornamented the phrase with a neighboring tone (e natural) . Is that what Chopin originally wrote? no, but i think its definitely forgivable if he played a d natural everyone would have heard that, this piece is in b major
+秦悠生 During the preliminaries there were only those two available. But before the main competition in October they could choose among Steinway, Yamaha, Kawai and Fazioli.
Comparing this to Horowitz’ interpretation illustrates to me so clearly how well Charles plays it. In my opinion Horowitz’ interpretation is so mechanical and I would probably prefer to listen to a lot of amateur pianists playing this piece to his
this performance is very thorough but a bit lifeless, maybe because of the quick tempo he decided to play it. I don't feel the same emotion as Kate Liu, or Horowitz. That wrong note round 2 mins is sore to my ear.
peter maguire he played an e natural. yes its not what chopin wrote. but in the score the harmony is F# seven, which is includes e natural. im having a hard time understanding what is sore to your ear. you read someone elses youtube comment and act like an acclaimed music critic

アムランは最近のピアニストの中では一番好き
Top two candian pianists named hamelin of all time for sure
Just...thank you Charles Richard Hamelin. It touches my heart.
Charles, with your great talent and those hands of yours, I've got to admit that this so special Nocturne is a piece of heaven on earth. Thanks a million for creating and maintaining such joy. Bravissimo and may God bless and keep you in His love for ever.
beautiful :)
Absolutely perfect
your playing just envisioned me some tranquil idyll enshrined in sonorous melodies. fantastic!
Really, a beautiful music and its performance.
RARE sensibilité.
bravo!
Charles you really rock!
Bravo pour ce second prix Charles Richard-Hamelin lors de la 17ième Compétition de Chopin à Varsovie en octobre 2015.
Good stuff.
Could anyone tell me what kinds of the yamaha he played? C series or G series or sth else?
CFX, like many others in the Chopin Competition
A little slow with the tempo, for my tastes, but it is played withe great intelligence and sensitivity.
David Henson I agree. Slow means the beautiful cohesion of the piece just isn't there for me.
it's been played slower, listen to Kate Liu's version. It's Andante. It's a Nocturne.
Just a perfect Nocturne! Unlike mine... Hope you take out your dreams and continue playing piano from your heart!

keep practicing, you always get better!
2:32 wrong note or not?
Yes but it's forgivable :)
I have not even noticed
Its actually impossible mistouch it, thats the way he wanted to play it, I suppose
anyone who plays this piece would know, and yes he played a wrong note. The best pianists in the world are human.
Egg MCMUFFIN he did not play a d natural... he just ornamented the phrase with a neighboring tone (e natural) . Is that what Chopin originally wrote? no, but i think its definitely forgivable
if he played a d natural everyone would have heard that, this piece is in b major
What I would like to know.. is why the winner Cho was aloud to play on a Steinway, and Charles on a Yamaha.. could, would have that made a difference?
the players can choose
I think they were allowed to choose between a Steinway and a Yamaha.
+秦悠生 During the preliminaries there were only those two available. But before the main competition in October they could choose among Steinway, Yamaha, Kawai and Fazioli.
What happened with the Faz? Only one person chose it and it didn't sound very good. As opposed to 2010, everybody was playing on Fazioli.

1.25x speed is better in my opinion.
bravo!!!
