Russell Thompson , what you think fast is always good ? it only shows you have no understanding of Chopin's music at all. besides everyone has different interpretation as well, why must everyone play it the same tempo or same emotions ? Kissin is the most talented and emotional gift of the century, so before you can play one note close to him, Stop Criticizing him !
Why do self-appointed 'experts' waste their time looking at RUclips? I could go on practising until I was 515 and still not be able to do one tenth of this.
Howoritz plays this piece with a mess of wrong notes and slower than most and it is the greatest rendition there is. It finds the rhythm and the dance others don't and when the main theme comes back it sounds like he is going to blow up the piano with sheer volume and excitement. This piece is not a runaway train.
I saw Kissin when he was this age in a recital at Lincoln Center, his U.S. debut, and got to meet him later. Shy and brilliant. He dazzled the critics.
Impressive interpretation and performance for any age. Mind-boggling at the age of 15. Kissin wasn't quite ready for this monster of a piece, but then most pianists spend their whole careers without ever getting even that ready. If Kissin recorded that polonaise a few years later, that would be really something.
+Henri De Boever. Yes, I agree about the slower tempo. But I watched it all the way thru and Kissin really does some of it better than others I've heard. It gets so you don't mind what tempo he uses. For me, the emotion he puts in compensates for that, and I've known and loved this piece for most of my 80 years! The famous "not music" section of this piece he brings out almost appealingly. I don't know if anyone ever figured out why Chopin stuck that ugly section into this polonaise, but with Kissin it is bearably interesting and enjoyable. I also think being able to watch him on the video makes it better than if it were only audio alone.
Seriously? You really don't understand this piece at all with that ridiculous comment about "not music". Kissin also screws that section up completely missing the dotted rhythms altogether in the right hand. He can be forgiven. He plays the piece fairly well. The only person who really gets it completely is Horowitz. Blechacz and Pogorelich also give interesting renditions. Not music. SMH.
He is exquisite and I’m especially impressed that he’s only 15. I doubt if any of Chopins own students could have played it this well. I’ve heard big mistakes from Rubenstein and Horowitz so anyone can make mistakes. I heard none here. Also playing an unfamiliar piano can wreak havoc on your technique.
This piece hits you like a ton of bricks, and the pianist has to know how to hit you just right. Kissin, at 15, is slightly metronomic as all young genius pianists are, but you can just see ho w he gets it. No wonder that he's one of the greatest ever now.
Cette oeuvre est étonnante, elle passe en une seconde d'un registre masculin au registre féminin, et que dire du talent du jeune virtuose? Cette pièce est redoutable, et il y parvient avec maestria. aujourd'hui, peu de pianistes sont à sa hauteur, avec son intelligence, sa sensibilité, il est incroyable.
Jugendliche Aufführung dieses romantischen Meisterwerks im gut phrasierten Tempo mit kräftigem Anschlag und völlig effektiver Dynamik. Echt genialer Pianist!
This is a brilliant performance of what is the most difficult Polonaise for me. Though Heroic may look harder it is I would say it's medium compared to No. 5 and Grande brillante Polonaise
+eveoable: Calling it "not music" is not my term. This was from critics ages ago. It refers to some rough sections somewhere in the middle of the piece that yield into a very melodious melody before that rough section returns again. The so-called beautiful interlude between those 2 "rougher" spots, they referred to as a "rose between 2 thorns." I am not the one who originated this -- I am just quoting literature I studied years ago.
Own it. You said you "nobody" could figure out what Chopin put that ugly section in the piece. So yes, you did say it, even though you stole a term from someone else. Regardless, who ever said it is an idiot.
Chopin's most dramatic attribute to any fierce fighting, with that burning flame of truth that entailed Warszawa's desire to be free! As of now in present psyche "HAIL UKRAINIA!" LET UKRAINE BE UKRAINE! SLAVA!
Very very good for a lad 16-and-a-half (if the date of the concert is correct, and Wikipedia is correct in stating his birth as: October 1971). There's not many top Classical performers who never play wrong notes, the real master touch is if you can keep going as if they never happened like Evgeny does here. I love hearing child prodigies play, like early recordings of Michael Rabin (violin).
Sometimes, comments about missed notes sound so frivoulous and superficial to me. I think probably ppl who comment about these are not musicians or musicians that don't take expression very seriously. I could be wrong🤔 But it's like looking at an amazing monument and complaining about a piece of dust on the battom of the stairs🤣
What a difficult beginning ( first four bars ) for young students!... Even Kissin cant get both hands in sync and all the notes sounding properly and phrased smoothly! But nice hall and cool hair helps!
come on... He is only a child playing a bravura piece.. Listen to this from him again from a later recording. And the octaves and the tempo of the scales at that age? Purely genious
this is strange,i have no memory of ever watching this video,or of making that comment, and as piano player myself(back in the day) i know the answer to that question. however i love the video
Maybe you were experiencing a video delay and decided to ask the question who knows :P and the long answer would be that even thou the light (when you see the stroke) and sound (when you hear) have different speeds, the distance they travel (so short) and basically the time our brain takes to understand the impulse nuliffies this "lag".
There absolutely is. KAWAII electric pianos simulate it, and the setting is adjustable. This time lag is meant to represent the time it takes the key to 'throw' the hammer against the string. I like to crank this to the highest setting on mine.
otonanoC Why do you do that? Do you feel that is more realistic to a real grand piano action. I actually put that parameter in The low in My Kawai and I feel nothing when I play In a grand Kawai too by The way.🤔
Before commenting anything regarding errors in the performance, keep in mind that Kissin was 15 years old at the time of this concert.
Plus he was probably really nervous as well :/

he was 15? he looks 17 or 18
This guy is incredible. I love the relative slow tempo (letting the piece breath). He also has an unusual key attack with the bent fingers.
The greatest of all the polonaises and played magnificently!
The best interpretation of this great piece, cannot stop listening
100% agree
I love this one, but you should try Grosvenor !
Amazing...such a deep complexity in his interpretation, and he was only 15 😳
Bello
It is called intelligence
Uncanny that such a complex work can be played so incomparably at the age of 15!
An amazing performance by a young artist! Bravo, Bravissimo!!
So much poise and maturity for someone so young. For me this ranks as one the best interpretations I've heard of this piece.
I agree. This is my favorite recording of this
Definitely
In his autobiography Kissin wrote that this piece would overwhelm him with its tragic intensity.
WoW
This is hands down my favorite rendition of this piece.
Imagine to be 15 and at the same time be able to play the hardest chopin’s polonaise… Just unbelivable
The a flat is much harder imo. But either at 15 is insane
8:02 amazing
I saw Kissin when he was this age in a recital at Lincoln Center, his U.S. debut, and got to meet him later. Shy and brilliant. He dazzled the critics.
Amazing Performance! I can't wait to start learning this piece.

If Kissin recorded that polonaise a few years later, that would be really something.
Of course he was ready for this piece look at the performance for crying out loud! It’s one of the best interpretations on RUclips
How wonderful to see Evgeny Kissin playing Chopin at 15 or 16 years old, knowing the fully accomplished masterful pianist he would soon become !
❤
Wow ! 30 years ago ! And he is still amazing today !
Felix Li-En legend ever since
More amazing as he is a lot more mature now.
He is miracle and great👍😀❤
@@LittleBlacksheep1995 он же наоборот лучше играл в 15-16 лет, чем сейчас
Angel!
Such amazing talent. Thank you for sharing.
BRAWO ❤❤❤

What's the "famous 'not music'" section?
what 'not music' section?
Seriously? You really don't understand this piece at all with that ridiculous comment about "not music".

The only person who really gets it completely is Horowitz. Blechacz and Pogorelich also give interesting renditions. Not music. SMH.
There isn't one.
Sorry I don’t hear any slow tempo at all....
He is exquisite and I’m especially impressed that he’s only 15. I doubt if any of Chopins own students could have played it this well. I’ve heard big mistakes from Rubenstein and Horowitz so anyone can make mistakes. I heard none here. Also playing an unfamiliar piano can wreak havoc on your technique.
Le Lycéen Evgeny Kissin était déjà brillant. Frédéric Chopin doit rêver avec cette jeune interprétation puissante…
❤ this interpretation. The best. Kissin a genius
I think all the "heavy sound" Kissin plays in this piece are in purpose of highlighting the final part starts from 10:30
So amazing!
JUST BEAUTIFUL ! THANK YOU FOR POSTING ❤❤❤❤
키신도 나의 아이돌이었지만, 이곡으로 이보 포고렐리치를 능가할 연주자는 우주 어디에도 없음! 들을때마다 음 하나하나가 마음을 후벼팜ㅠㅠ 비장미 쩔음👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Imagine being 15 and being able to play this.
That’s me.
Imagine being 13 and is told to learn this piece within 1 month.
I believe that was me in 1994 lol
This piece hits you like a ton of bricks, and the pianist has to know how to hit you just right. Kissin, at 15, is slightly metronomic as all young genius pianists are, but you can just see ho

The middle section octaves in the a flat are much harder than the octave scales in this
Amazing
So young and so talented, perfomance was fantastic for his 15 y.o. And his hands look like spiders)
Thanks

I personally LIKE the referenced section of the composition myself.
Also, I do not engage in name-calling.
I am more fan of the young Kissin than than the mature because os this rawness and energy of youth. And he is also so cute kid.

Where are the errors?
elegance !
🎼🎹📻 from this side .. 😊 in first minut ... always support you wish you all your dreams came true and feel like twins 🔔👍🏻Greetings😎📽🎞📼
Благодарю !!!
上手すぎる‼️可愛すぎる‼️奇跡的‼️
He plays like really fun.Prodigy.
MAGNIFICO SOLISTA
This guy, CHOPIN JR AND TCHAIKOVSKY came awarded THERE in MOSCOW CONCERT THEATER OF URSS VOSTOK AVENUE.
I have only heard Kissin when he was an adult, but this is on par with his newer performances
Is there a version of this piece performed when he was a little older and more mature ? Nonetheness, at 15 or 16 yo, a major accomplishment.
Есть более поздние версии, но эта явно лучшая
in my opinion, at that age he could have won the
international Chopin competition with success 😌
Bravissimo!!
Sometimes, comments about missed notes sound so frivoulous and superficial to me. I think probably ppl who comment about these are not musicians or musicians that don't take expression very seriously.

You are right
For my WARSZAWA@
wow👏👏👏👏🌺
What a difficult beginning ( first four bars ) for young students!... Even Kissin cant get both hands in sync and all the notes sounding properly and phrased smoothly! But nice hall and cool hair helps!
perfecto Margarieto !!!
he was not ready for this piece but look at him now
Наоборот...
He was so cute 😍
First 40seconds sound like Darth Vader.
Браво, Евгений!
👏👏👏
The few wrong notes only show he is human.
I think he is just perfect and so young Bravo Maestro
until now, i've never seen him play a wrong note!
lecheparavaka you are right kissin never played a wrong note. Perfect is nobody, but for me he is the best living pianist in the world
LeonART your obviously not a pianist thats why say that
"Perfection itself is imperfection" -Vladimir Horowitz
키신은 정말 천재구나..
It seems like the tempo is a being held back slightly compared to other interprettions of the piece. I'm not sure that it does it for me.
This is when he was 16 years old.
+NFS topsnuf Are you stupid? He said the TEMPO is too slow. A pianist age 3 months old is capable of speeding up!
Russell Thompson .. why are you so critical?
come on... He is only a child playing a bravura piece.. Listen to this from him again from a later recording. And the octaves and the tempo of the scales at that age? Purely genious
is there a discernible lag time between the feeling of a key to ones finger and the sound to ones ear?
no.
this is strange,i have no memory of ever watching this video,or of making that comment, and as piano player myself(back in the day) i know the answer to that question. however i love the video

Sóc més seguidora de Brahms que de Chopin, però reconec en aquesta obra la genialitat del músic polonès
와.. 진짜 이게 연주...
Horowitz is definitely the king for this masterpiece
I thought so too until I heard Cyprien Katsaris.
that's okay with the errors. this piece is a hazard for neighboring notes.
3:17
この頃からこの弾き方だったのね
彼が15才か16才のとき来日さたときのものです。そのときテレビでリサイタルを放映しました。手足が長くて超可愛い少年の凄い演奏に驚き、以来大好きになりました。いまはおじさんなのに大拍手に照れ笑いするキーシンは可愛いまんま。
Sounds like Beethoven, first few bars. Rach g min
I thoight he was 12.
No, 15
8:02 ;;
살아 있어요 ?
Matras recital
i can't hear what he plays 😭😭😭
Полонез - это же танец, а тут страсти-мордасти. Демонический темперамент.
日本に海外の人びとが来られますがテレビ雑誌で芸能人が日本人の代表みたいに思われているが一般のひとはそれほど高給とりでないし派手でもない度を越した
世間のとらえかたは見苦しいこの頃うるさくてテレビ見たくありませんテレビ局
の社長さんたちは日本人はばかだから洗脳するのだと豪語されてるそうですが
同じ日本人として腹立たしい
This polonaise needs a little more intensity than his performance.
UpAndOut u kidding right ? x)
10:06 mistake
Horowitz is definitely the king for this masterpiece
