Honestly, this is the greatest performance of Chopin's Scherzo in B-flat minor, op. 31 I believe that exists. Zimerman truly understands how to express the voice in Chopin's music.
I do believe this is a very good performance, but perhaps "greatest" is pushing it. The point of Chopin is that it should be different for everyone, with the rubato he used in his pieces. There is no one perfect way to play one of Chopin's pieces.
+Ramzi Eljaouadi It's probably partly the recording quality, but Zimerman combines lucidity, smoothness and passion in a way I have never heard from any other pianist. To me Zimerman plays exactly how you want the piece to be played, and perfectly so.
Just a matter of opinion, I think several current pianists are performing Chopin at a very high level; no one is that far out front of the group of brilliant Chopin artists.
What a spectacular performance. I am always deeply moved by Zimerman's tone, expression, and technique. His style is so "crisp", by which I mean that every note is audible and precise. Nothing is hidden. I think Chopin himself would applaud Zimerman.
+Marc Payne Pianists do not have tone - pianos have tone. It is a very beautiful instrument. As for expression and technique, Zimmerman has that in spades - he is a superb musician.
+Steven Yourke Mr. Zimerman brings ( or brought, certainly) his own piano actions, which he himself tunes and whose action he adjusts note by note before a concert, according to what he will be playing. So I would give him credit for "tone", in addition to his masterful playing..
That is a very good way of describing the performance. It's challenging, though always a pleasure to see a combination of technique (playing each note clearly in rhythm, etc.) and expression (using rubato and changes in dynamics to bring out an emotive effect).
@@syourke3 Sorry Steven, but if you take two pianists on this instrument they will SOUND different. The biggest help for their tone and expression is to NOT tune Equal Temperament but with a "genuine" tuning and at a better concert pitch like C128Hz. This is one reason why Arsentiy Kharitonoff's "Russian Triptych" CD helped to raise him above all other pianists.
Arthur Rubinstein was the best pianist of the twentieth century, Zimerman is the best actually, both of them polish, Poland is the cradle of the best pianists in the world.
Yeah!! i think too, A.Rubinstein was player more than beautiful Chopin Works but some music. and other pianist had to great perform as Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, Maurizio Pollini

I had heard piano players say the name of this piece so many times that one day I decided that I to play this video. From the first time I saw it, I loved it. I used to listen to this almost constantly, and it quickly became my favorite music. Every night, I'd sit down at my desk to write, at my couch to relax, and even at my dining table, and I would put this video on to listen to. Eventually, my education became too much and I forget about it completely. I listened to this tonight for the first time in a long time. I had always thought people were being overdramatic when they said that a song made them cry, but I can honestly say that for the first time in my life, after remembering how everything was when I listened to this, a piece of music gave me tears. Thank you for the video!
@Kimbra Bedient just in case anyone is stupid enough to try it, DONT its a scam. It will take your financial information and it will be used fraudulently
Wow. Compared to his 1979 performance one can really see how much his interpretation of this piece has improved. So much more emotionally rich here, in my opinion.
I’ve watched this video, like at least over a millions times over the past 2 years. It got me through so many events in my life. Whenever I feel lonely, sad, happy, or just conflicted, I always return here. Everything about his playing of this piece obsesses me, I even wrote a whole essay on what this piece is all about, because of him.
Love the sense that Zimerman played and implied ... He's not rushing, not making things blurred, but he's exjoying and interpreting the phrases in the piece. Thank you for bringing us a good interpretation of Chopin's Work!
I can only dream of a Zimmerman concert in the US. Unfortunately, that will never happen again. I wanted to listen to this amazing pianist's music, but I'm not quite prepared to fork over a fortune to travel to another country for a single concert.
rcradiator yes yes, since back when (I forgot who) was president of the US they took apart his piano to check for viruses, and he was quite angered and said he would never come back to the USA.

Yes, I dare to say that this performance of the b flat minor scherzo is the most satisfying for me out of all the other ones I have found and heard. Zimmerman has real character and a strong backbone in his spirit. Real self-restraint and control to bring out this remarkable form and structure of Chopin. In addition to the structural visualization and understanding the player needs here to portrait a sense of a lived life, a real person living through this piece. Here is the difficulty, it is a master-form but at the same time it is a story with human emotions and happenings. But Zimmermann can do both. Compare with other pianists, they always distort the pulse and Zimmermann does not distort it. And in order to manage this he has to have real piano technique. For the sense of the lived life he has the tone to sing it out. This piece always reminds me that my strong opinion is that Chopin as well as Schubert, were much greater musical architects than Beethoven, out of whom people for obvious reasons have made such a big number. Zimmermanns technique and unyielding strict even pulse is remarkable and gives honour especially to the 2nd Ballade and the 4th Ballade played by him is the very best I have heard. The 4th ballade by Chopin is also a master-form together with a master-story and fantasy, such a combination of different kinds of demands that no human could ever play it here in this kind of a body and circumstances we have now. This is my opinion.
This piece gives me chills. Like wow, it showcases Chopin's true genius. The way he effortlessly made this piece change keys multiple times blows my mind. Also personally I think Zimmerman plays it best, he can really put others to shame with his interpretations of Chopin's works. Bravo!
This is just absolutely astoningshly beautiful. I'f I ever play half as good as this man, this pure genius, I would consider myself at extremely fortunate.
On June 15, 2019 I was lucky enough to hear the one and only maestro Krystian Zimerman with Brahms sonata no. 3 and Chopin 4 Scherzi! Incredible Zimerman received standing ovations! *greatest pianist alive*
Superb performance. The way he takes his time and enjoys the phrasing is splendid. Everything feels smooth and fluid and there are no hiccups. Quite simply a performance worthy of Chopin’s level
Have always had a strong feeling that only Zimerman played Chopin's music as the composer would have liked it most. Never ever after hearing Chopin's music for some 40 years, i loved Chopin more as when it was performed by Kristian Zimerman. He is Chopin.
Lang Lang is a showman, he doesnt have the emotional depth to understand/perform chopin. He is a show off, which means he is good at performing some works like la campanella which have not much musical depth but are very fast and technically challenging
Zimerman's playing at 3:25 is as if the world calms down and only you and the music exists... and at 4:23, it is as if you slowly go on a mysterious journey with him as he leads you....
This is so expressive and soothing... his beautiful playing blew away my concern that I had. I love gentle harmony in his melody, which fills my heart with comfort.
@Hose2wAcKiEr the études...yes, but definitely not all of his pieces, Chopin at this time was one of the best players and interpret (in saloons, he didn't like concerts unlike Liszt, even if he played in concerts, their was a lot of good critics) and was a god at improvising
Definitely the best interpretation. Everybody else plays it too fast. Argerich's is exciting just to see the amazing technique but she misses half the piece along the way. her recording is almost 2 minutes slower. I love her but not for this. Zimerman and Rubinstein for Chopin for sure.
+Jonathan Wallach if you think Argerich is fast, try Dmitri Sgouros, haha! His recording clocks in at under 8 minutes. He has a fantastic technique but I think he just got bored with the literature because it was too easy for him. www.sgourosmp3.com/chopinscherzo2.php
+retrogamerdave well if you're going to be interested in this music based on how hard it is to play I don't know if I'd call you a musician. I've been playing this piece since I was 9. I don't play it faster now because it's easier. If anything I play it slower because there's more to discover.
+Jonathan Wallach that is my point exactly: sgouros has had a spotty career and in times past has shown little investment in the music. but now that he has matured a few decades, he has come back with much more humanity in his playing than when he was a young man.
Totally agree. Just came from hearing Martha's version, and although I was absolutely FLOORED by her literal speed, she actually did miss several notes, and the clarity of her right hand arpeggios was completely drowned down by the thundering left hand. (And I have studied and performed this piece). Now maybe that's something that she smoothed out as she got older and matured. But at least from what I see on RUclips, Zimmerman has the superior interpretation and execution.
That was as perfect a cadence throughout the whole piece as I have ever heard. Rather than playing the music too fast and showing off in order to impress us with your skill (of which I am certain is quite considerable), thanks for just letting the music have its own voice. Brilliant!
A cleanly played masterful rendition of this piece. I just learned that the late, great jazz pianist Bill Evans played this Scherzo in his senior recital at Southern Louisana on University April 24th 1950. Wish I could have been there.
I've been playing Chopin since I was 12, so that's 36 years. Always try my best but I can never get it to quite sound like it sounds in my head. Zimerman always makes me feel at peace and also jealous when I listen to him, because he generally plays these pieces exactly as I'd want to play them if I had the skill. So many beautiful sounds that Chopin wrote, so many little touches that he put into his pieces with such care. Most professional pianists seem to speed over them or don't recognize them for the gems they are. Zimerman seems to cherish them, and so many little things come through. I've listened to his ballades and to this recording so many times now.
좀 더 근사한 말로 감상을 적고 싶지만, 당장 머릿 속에 드는 생각은 '와 진짜 ㅈㄹ 잘 친다' 뿐이네요. 지메르만의 연주는 역시 특별합니다. 영상 틀어놓고 도저히 딴 짓을 할 수가 없어요. 지나칠 정도로 매력적인 부분이 한두 군데가 아닙니다ㅠ 10년 후 , 20년 후, 머리가 하얗게 세어서도 '와 개쩐다' 하며 듣고 있을 것 같아요.
RUclips is a blessing when it comes to presenting videos of these sublime concerts. I fully enjoy seeing the musician's finger works which I can hardly get to see in concert halls although the sound quality in concert halls is usually better. But even on RUclips it is pretty good.
Every time I hear him I think thats how this is supposed to be played. No extreme tempi beautiful phrasing. Hard to think of anybody who can capture Chopin like this other than perhaps Rubenstein.
There are three roles that must be played in this revolution. Those who spread the truth, those who defend the race, and those who continue the race (having children). Where most people misunderstand is that all three of these must be performed by everyone to the best of his ability. There has been little done when it comes to defending the European race.
It is unbelievable : how the life.. the journey can be transcribed into a music piece... magical.. above and beyond talent.. yet it takes a genius to read and deliver it. I am in tears and joy/suffering enigma as of listening to this.. Loved Chopin for years.. never have been so enormously shook up.. immersed in the very deep sense/ meaning of a piece.. different reality/universe.. and I'm not even high at all!:)
I learned this piece several years ago, and whenever I hear this recording it makes me feel very sad because I’ll never be able to play it even close to this well. The middle section into the climax is so damn hard.
Most of the piece falls under the hands pretty easily, but there’s a couple of parts that are brutal-/ the hard right hand flips at the end -3 in a row- took me a month, 4 hrs a day- to get right, and i still drown on if some times.
The 3 internal waltzes he capitavtes us with, so that they are meant to be genuine mysteries unsolved at conclusion. The mastery of his delivery is we are greater for returning to the exact point of entry with the first bars.
Zimmermann's performance of Scherzo is really fascinating. Especially in the middle of the trio, it makes me feel like there's a different world. Whenever I listen to his performance, I forget the hard memories. I only love Zimmer.
He has a perfect understanding of Chopin.
@Lisztian hahaha I agree with tht
Some features, yes, but not the nose!
more than perfect : meticulous not as a black smith but as a watchmaker !
Yes he does
It’s a very good performance, but I wouldn’t say “perfect understanding of Chopin”
これは好みですから様々な意見があって良いのですが、私はこのツィメルマンの演奏はスゴく素敵だと思います。他のピアニストの演奏だと、フレーズの弾き方が速すぎて音がちゃんと聞こえないことが多いのです。その点ツィメルマンは敢えて速過ぎないように弾くことで音の運動エネルギーや、調性の移り変わりによる色の変化などが、より聴き手に伝わりやすいように弾いています。素敵です。

@Hose2wAcKiEr the études...yes, but definitely not all of his pieces, Chopin at this time was one of the best players and interpret (in saloons, he didn't like concerts unlike Liszt, even if he played in concerts, their was a lot of good critics) and was a god at improvising
mAnu Chopin liked oPeRaS
아름다운 피아노 연주곡 잘 들었습니다~감사합니다~🎵🎹🌿🍀☘🌹🌹☘🍀🌿❤❤
3:25 - 4:49 This is amazingly beautiful.
So beautiful ...
So natural ...
His playing is fearless. Love it!
Definitely the best interpretation. Everybody else plays it too fast. Argerich's is exciting just to see the amazing technique but she misses half the piece along the way. her recording is almost 2 minutes slower. I love her but not for this. Zimerman and Rubinstein for Chopin for sure.
+Jonathan Wallach if you think Argerich is fast, try Dmitri Sgouros, haha! His recording clocks in at under 8 minutes. He has a fantastic technique but I think he just got bored with the literature because it was too easy for him. www.sgourosmp3.com/chopinscherzo2.php
+retrogamerdave well if you're going to be interested in this music based on how hard it is to play I don't know if I'd call you a musician. I've been playing this piece since I was 9. I don't play it faster now because it's easier. If anything I play it slower because there's more to discover.
+Jonathan Wallach that is my point exactly: sgouros has had a spotty career and in times past has shown little investment in the music. but now that he has matured a few decades, he has come back with much more humanity in his playing than when he was a young man.
'The best interpretation'
I don't think you know the meaning of interpretation
Totally agree. Just came from hearing Martha's version, and although I was absolutely FLOORED by her literal speed, she actually did miss several notes, and the clarity of her right hand arpeggios was completely drowned down by the thundering left hand. (And I have studied and performed this piece). Now maybe that's something that she smoothed out as she got older and matured. But at least from what I see on RUclips, Zimmerman has the superior interpretation and execution.
Wonderful interpretation! It has mathematical precision! One of the most perfect pianists in rhythm and cadence and with a lot of feeling!
That was as perfect a cadence throughout the whole piece as I have ever heard. Rather than playing the music too fast and showing off in order to impress us with your skill (of which I am certain is quite considerable), thanks for just letting the music have its own voice. Brilliant!
absolutely incredible! the clarity of every single note. amazing!!
The Best scherzo of Chopin!!! Wonderful Kristian The Best performer of this Piece!
This is just an amazing piece. Zimerman is of course always great.
Grandioso!!!!!!!!! Interpreta a Chopin como nadie, su técnica es impecable, sin duda el mejor pianista actualmente!
no, yo soy mejor

¡Claro que sí campeón! ;)
Si!!!!‼
Bravissimo!!!Wonderful!!! The best interpretation of this Scherzo I've heard !!!
This piece has always represented the pinnacle of piano composition for me.
If you like Chopin , you like him. He understand all Chopin's work plus his talen. One of the great Pianist hardly to find.
Bellísima obra y preciosa., Limpia y clarísima interpretación.....inolvidable y romántico Chopin... Bravo Zimerman.....!!
Along with Ballades 1,3, and 4, one of Chopin's great masterpieces, very Ballade like in itself.
agree
I‘ve listened to this piece so many times and this piece just gives me pure joy. I love Chopin
Same here
GREAT!! Nobody plays Chopin like him. The perfection in each single note.
A cleanly played masterful rendition of this piece. I just learned that the late, great jazz pianist Bill Evans played this Scherzo in his senior recital at Southern Louisana on University April 24th 1950. Wish I could have been there.
Listen to the clarity of those low notes! I wish I had a piano like that.
Me too!
I've been playing Chopin since I was 12, so that's 36 years. Always try my best but I can never get it to quite sound like it sounds in my head. Zimerman always makes me feel at peace and also jealous when I listen to him, because he generally plays these pieces exactly as I'd want to play them if I had the skill. So many beautiful sounds that Chopin wrote, so many little touches that he put into his pieces with such care. Most professional pianists seem to speed over them or don't recognize them for the gems they are. Zimerman seems to cherish them, and so many little things come through. I've listened to his ballades and to this recording so many times now.
Zimerman , 👏👏👏♥️ El mejor pianista del mundo .Muy profesional, excelente intérprete .👏👏👏🎹🎼🎶🎵😁💞
좀 더 근사한 말로 감상을 적고 싶지만, 당장 머릿 속에 드는 생각은 '와 진짜 ㅈㄹ 잘 친다' 뿐이네요. 지메르만의 연주는 역시 특별합니다. 영상 틀어놓고 도저히 딴 짓을 할 수가 없어요. 지나칠 정도로 매력적인 부분이 한두 군데가 아닙니다ㅠ 10년 후 , 20년 후, 머리가 하얗게 세어서도 '와 개쩐다' 하며 듣고 있을 것 같아요.
RUclips is a blessing when it comes to presenting videos of these sublime concerts. I fully enjoy seeing the musician's finger works which I can hardly get to see in concert halls although the sound quality in concert halls is usually better. But even on RUclips it is pretty good.
Every time I hear him I think thats how this is supposed to be played. No extreme tempi beautiful phrasing. Hard to think of anybody who can capture Chopin like this other than perhaps Rubenstein.
There are three roles that must be played in this revolution. Those who spread the truth, those who defend the race, and those who continue the race (having children). Where most people misunderstand is that all three of these must be performed by everyone to the best of his ability. There has been little done when it comes to defending the European race.

I was sad when it's over that was just so beautiful. I really wanna see Zimerman play in personnn. It's one of my dreamss 🤍✨
I m Happy when i listen chopin
It is unbelievable : how the life.. the journey can be transcribed into a music piece... magical.. above and beyond talent.. yet it takes a genius to read and deliver it. I am in tears and joy/suffering enigma as of listening to this.. Loved Chopin for years.. never have been so enormously shook up.. immersed in the very deep sense/ meaning of a piece.. different reality/universe.. and I'm not even high at all!:)

The best of playing Chopin Scherzo No.2
I learned this piece several years ago, and whenever I hear this recording it makes me feel very sad because I’ll never be able to play it even close to this well. The middle section into the climax is so damn hard.
Practice practice... start slowly. It doesn’t matter in some years I am sure you will succeed.
Most of the piece falls under the hands pretty easily, but there’s a couple of parts that are brutal-/ the hard right hand flips at the end -3 in a row- took me a month, 4 hrs a day- to get right, and i still drown on if some times.
His music is always wonderful understanding every single types and style of each composer. Bravo!!
The 3 internal waltzes he capitavtes us with, so that they are meant to be genuine mysteries unsolved at conclusion. The mastery of his delivery is we are greater for returning to the exact point of entry with the first bars.
Best performance of Chopin’s 2nd Scherzo, without a doubt.
His last move, away from the keys, like a true musketeer! :D (Amazingly played, as well!)
Zimmermann's performance of Scherzo is really fascinating. Especially in the middle of the trio, it makes me feel like there's a different world. Whenever I listen to his performance, I forget the hard memories. I only love Zimmer.
