- Nowadays, I prefer a more subtle interpretation of this nocturne, so I re-recorded this piece to better match my taste. I deliberately limited my dynamic range to no louder than mezzo-piano for most of the piece, in an attempt to mitigate the natural brightness of the Yamaha CFX VST sound.
Even after playing this piece for 7+ years, I'm still not completely satisfied with my interpretation. Perhaps one day...
Piano: Kawai Novus NV-10
Piano VST: Garritan CFX Full
My current CFX settings: forum.pianoworl...
Excellent playing for this exceptionally difficult piece. I'm also very jealous of that piano!
Bravo! What a deep roaring bass at 3:31!
This is the best performance I've ever heard of this beautiful nocturne. You have a wonderful gift for interpreting the singing quality of the piece and expressing it so beautifully.
Rubinstein
Possibly the best version I've heard both playing and acoustics, the acoustic settings are just perfection
This is a much preferred interpretation of such a beautiful Nocturne Op. 27 in D-frat Major ... So well and truly serene.
This is clearly the best version ever of this sublime piece. I love it more and more each time I come here.
a lovely performance that captures the true spirit of these works by Chopin Its my favorite
Goes straight to the heart so beautifull!!!!
Very beautiful interpretation of this Chopin Nocturne. Also a very lovely piano sound from your Kawaii!
The sound is Garritan CFX
Love the sound from the garritan plugin
Yes, very beautifully done. I loved watching your hands and seeing the notes played so gently on the keyboard. Chopin must have known when he wrote this song that it was perhaps one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
THE greatest of all the nocturnes and, quite possibly, the most beautiful piece of music ever written. Your performance is outstanding! Just superb... truly. There are a few things I'd do differently, but that's just me. Bravo!
Just had another listen to your old version and I think I prefer this one too. Love the very sensitive playing.
Your dynamics on this piece were absolutely marvelous. Bravissimo!
An intoxicating mesmerising performance. Absolutely outstanding.The best I have heard. Beautful piano sound and recording quality.
The sound of this piano is so beautiful
Something special about that sound.
This piece is, without question, one of my very favorites in all of classical music. I've heard it hundreds of times by dozens and dozens of different artists - and I can say with the utmost confidence that THIS interpretation is one of the most beautiful and technically incredible performances I've ever seen. Bravo, mon ami, bravo!
Completely sublime
La más extraordinariamente bella interpretación que he escuchado de este nocturno. Gracias infinitas por esto !!!
I've listened to both versions and like them pretty much equally. I'm not surprised when different versions appeal at different times in one's life. I can't quite believe composers who played their pieces played them exactly the same way in every performance. And I suspect hearing others play a different interpretation would have been welcome. I've been working on this piece for just a few months sporadically. I absolutely love it.
absolutely beautiful.
Amazing. I keep watching this and always come back to it every couple of months! ❤
So good. You deserve 10x as many views
This is an amazingly delicate rendition! Just wanted to let you know that in bar 23, the 5th note on the left hand is actually Ab instead of A. 😊
I've seen many play the same way I was wondering if my sheet had a mistake on it. It is a beautifully played though. Lovely ❤️
Para mí una de las mejores interpretaciones subidas a internet te felicito muy limpia e impecable
Both versions have poetry.
It is good you subdued your left hand. You have a beautiful sound with both instruments.
Congrats and keep up the good work!
Your piano playing is wonderful in every respect.👏
Your interpretation special,Magic,the sound perfect,you are the BEST
I really love your interpretation of this nocturne * *cries* *
hi, i'm here again listening to this piece :>
I'm discovering the 2 versions and I must say I prefer this one. It's close to perfection for me. Thank you so much !
I love it!!, great interpretation. You have to be proud of yourself.
Exquisite! Such a beautiful piece. So beautifully played. Just what's needed right now in a world which needs soothing.
Excellent. I love this VST too.
"Nowadays, I prefer a more subtle interpretation of this nocturne, so I re-recorded this piece to better match my taste." To Your Knowledge: excellent performance....BUT...alas STILL a little TOO FAST. I've SLOWED it down to 0.75 and boy o boy: JUST BRILLIANT. I'm actually working on this piece right now. As there are 'NO NON-PLAYABLE PARTS' this remains 'pretty challenging' because of the many 'turnings and twistings' which Chopin has included in this piece. I mean, if you really want to get to know it 'by heart' it for sure takes time to get things right.
My old version for comparison: ruclips.net/video/fHncfQhmWi8/видео.html
New version on Steinway D: ruclips.net/video/A_XnkO0rBYg/видео.htmlsi=cKQLIXOyJ0sLtyo8
what DAW are you using ?
What piano you prefer? Yamaha or Kawai? What is better for you and why? Now I want to buy or Yamaha Nx1 or Kawai Novus 10, but I don't know what is better.
The new version is tres better.
gorgeous. made me cry. stumbled across this as I was searching for a better plugin than Keyscape (extraordinarily uninspiring grand piano sound imo). this convinced me to get the garritan cfx once and for all!!
Beautiful it's like..好傷花 兒開在春風裡 👏👏🥰🥰🥰👍
Excellent interpretation as always
I LOVED the way you played This😫
A smashing performance. Thank you.
I wish I could get my Garritan CFX to sound as realistic as yours. I'll try your settings and if that doesn't breathe life into the application, I'll give up on it.
You're incredible man. Wow what an interpretation
very thoughtfully done
Fantastic performance!!!!! Amazing!
You have fantastic taste in music. I have enjoyed all your pieces!
Chopin is my favorite Romantic era composer.
Parabéns!
Congratulations!!!
Superb!!!!!
Muito bom!
The best of the best !
Beautiful interpretation and sound ! Thank you
I love this channel.
My preference is more dynamic "life" in the nocturnes. To me, more a passionate approach than taking the Nocturne idea as super sensitive. I love your second half to the end.
This is a very beautiful interpretation. Congratulations
Wow! Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chopin
Fantastic performance!
wonderful this version
Escuchar esta pieza despues del GYM es el mejor estímulo que puedo tener!!
A much more delicate sound in comparison, and very pleasant to the ear.
Nothing to be added! Unforgettable
sounds great as always!
Love your interpretation! Nice work :)
Btw, which piano do you prefer: the previous Yamaha N1 or the actual NV10? Why did you change?
(Actually reflecting of buying one of these)
He preferred the action on the NV-10. Other than that, he did not list any other reason. I believe the Kawai action on this is the same action they use on their grands. Ive played it in store, and it is wonderful! The sound is from Garritan CFX, but the native sound effects are great too
Excellent !!!!!!!!!
È incantevole
I unliked this video just so I can like it again!! Wow
Hi, another fine interpretation of my favorite Chopin Nocturne. I have to say though that I prefer your previous version. I find that the slightly faster tempo of the previous version flows better for me. But they are both well played and I will be very pleased if I can someday play this piece at your level. 😄
Delicatessen!!👋👋👋
❤❤❤❤
May I ask what made you choose Kawai Novus over Yamaha Avantgrand n1x?
Would pay to have that ability to manage volume
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌
soupplesse avant tout! I quite like this one better really captures the essence of a nocturne with the envelope you've created. Interesting to see it played on a novus but using a CFX VST? That good? :D
Better than Kassia's upload just now.
Looks like consolation no 3 of lizst
👌👌👌
Wow
Verry beautiful and what is the name of youre piano ?
🙏😍❤️
Excellent new version! Congratulations! I would love to know more about your hardware configuration. I am running Pianoteq with a decent laptop (i7, 8 Gb RAM), but I am still getting some popping and clicking sounds. How did you solve those issues?
Thanks! I have a custom built PC but the biggest factor in eliminating those issues as you described was getting an external sound card (Babyface Pro in my case).
Thanks for your reply. I use an Onyx Producer audio interface but still getting some clicking, maybe more RAM will help.
How happy are you with the Garritan CFX? It's high on my possibility list, but Yamahas can be a little bright. I like the Grandeur as well.
The Garritan CFX is probably the VST I like the best out of what I've tried. It's not flawless, since as you mentioned the distinctive Yamaha brightness is present here as well, when I would prefer a mellower tone for the repertoire I usually play.
What model Kawai is this? Great sound!
I believe this is the Kawai Novus NV10. However, the sound itself is from the VST plugin Garritan CFX. I believe he has his settings in his description
The sound is so good that I assume it came from the line-out. How does it sound if you use the piano's own speakers. Really lovely playing, I wish I could play that well!
Very Very good..... Can I ask you why change the piano?
Interesting how different this is compared to your older upload. I also enjoy this version more.
Why did you decide to limit yourself with the dynamic range?
(On a side note can’t wait for my Kawai to be delivered)
In my opinion, this Yamaha piano VST sounds most beautiful in the pp-mp dynamic range for this kind of piece. Any louder than that, and it is a bit too bright for my taste. Also, I went for a more strategic approach with dynamics, so that in the few sections when I do play louder it stands out more.
@@rach3master when you play these vsts, how do you listen to them, do you have external studio monitor speakers, or do you use line in into the piano , utilizing the piano's speakers?
@@JitinMisra I only listen through headphones plugged in to my audio interface.
@@rach3master Which headphones do You use?
You display great sensitivity and touch in your playing - congratulations! I've listened with interest to some of your other videos using an Yamaha N1 - but in this video I assume this an Kawai acoustic grand?
it's a Kawai Novus NV10 - it's a digital hybrid piano which uses the Millenium action of Kawai acoustics
@@mangodsky2809 Ah! - very nice - do you have this as well as the N1, or have you replaced the N1 with this new Kawai? Do you have any preference between the Yamaha and Kawai hybrid digital pianos as regards action and sound? Many thanks..
@@Pisceanboi you need to adress rach3master I just answered your question about whether this is a Kawai acoustic grand :P (I'm a different guy)
I replaced the N1 with the Kawai because the action is a little better. Sound is not so important because I'm using piano software sounds instead.
@@rach3master Thank you for posting. This is a brillant interpretation. I'm with you Kawai Novus models (both NV10 and NV5) have better action than Yamaha's Avant Grand pianos. However, since they are sampled on their own pianos (even Shigeru model), the sound is not as rich. As you said, it doesn't matter because you use a software. I'm new to piano softwares and I have a basic question, if you don't mind me asking. Do you connect your piano to your computer, and have the sound produced by your computer and/or additional speakers? Or, does Garritan consist in importing its sound library in the actual piano, making it a Garritan piano so to speak? Is the second option even possible? I'm considering buying both the Novus model and Garritan so your help could be very useful (nothing is explicitly said on Garritan's website, which mostly describes their software for people who are already knowledgeable about all this!). Thank you so much in advance! Bruno
What kind of piano type is this?
How do you like nuvos compared to n1? So amazing you can create so much color with vst. Inspiring performance!
Since I'm using it as a controller for a VST, the piano action is the only feature that actually matters, and I think the action is slightly better in the Novus.
How do you like the pianos themselves without vst? Thanks for the reply! I have n2 and just got Garritan cfx today after watching this video yesterday. Having trouble with pluging into logic though..
I pretty much only use VSTs. I don't particularly like the piano sound otherwise.
@@rach3master do you only play with headphones or utilize speakers, when using vst?
@@JitinMisra only headphones
I read you record through line-in of an audio interface. Why not record it through a daw or directly into garritan standalone ?
Maybe I misspoke. This was recorded directly into garritan standalone.
@@rach3master thanks. Why are your settings on "Performer" perspective. It sounds very good but it seems curious that you would not choose the "audience" perspective for final rendering.
@@crgl2009 Audience perspective sounds very strange to my ears.
@@rach3master interesting... Thanks again. I suppose that is also why you added just a bit of resonance
By the way, is there a way to reduce the brightness of the CFX VST through the settings?
There's not much you can do except hold down the left piano or used the closed lid setting. It'll only dull the sound a little bit.
@@rach3master Alright, thanks for letting me know.
@@rach3master Do you use a software or plugins to remaster your piano songs? (as the sound is wonderful)
@@Lisztlovers no I only use audacity to boost the overall volume after recording
@@rach3master Thanks for the answer!
yamaha or kawai which one do you like better?
He changed to his Kawai because he prefers the Kawai action
I thought you had an N1!
Hey, when you performed this piece, did you wear headphones?
I always wear headphones while playing on this piano.
Hello! Thanks for this new version. Why didn't you use the new Steinway D VST you recently purchased if I'm not mistaken? The Steinway sound suits better for Chopin in my opinion.
I don't really like the sound of the VSL Steinway D. It is bright and somewhat harsh.
I agree !! What about the Embertone walker 1955 one? It's a pity the half pedalling is not implemented (yet?)
I haven't bought that one. The tone from the demos sound pretty good, but maybe a bit artificial still.
a real pianist is never really satisfied...
ease up on the pedal there, this aint no church organ
Excelente, me gustó mucho tu interpretación, y en un Kawai aun mejor
