unfiddled-with; absolutely beautiful. he listens to Chopin and delivers innocently. i feel sorry for people thinking this is too self-conscious. the fact is pure delivery like this takes courage and conscientious ease-of-mind.
05:35 is quite remarkable. Few others highlight the change from the LH to RH in the way Bolet does. there is always a great variation in tiny details like that.
Bolet is a genius of te piano.One person wrote how he loved his Liszt. I adore it and most of what he plays-period. His sonata in B is a treasure for the ages as is his Wagner Tannhauser.
This Sonata is a Sphinx like so many of Chopin's works. Instead of running at breakneck speed, the solution is frequently to slow down and smell the flowers. Bolet's interpretations surely are causing a rethink of so much that was troublesome. In the masterclass of the Rachmaninoff 3rd PC, he said himself that he solved the problem of the opening of the 4th Ballade by "doing nothing". This of course is a simplification. Only when you have so much musicality is this possible.
Actually, fun fact: this passage is an alternate one written by Chopin, though not all editions of the score include. I've seen it in the Cortot, Paderewski, and Ekier editions, in the footnotes.
Simply sublime. You can keep Katsaris and Cortot, or Gilels and Arrau for that matter, entirely to yourself. Give me Bolet and Lipatti, two entirely different but equally great performances that give the lie to the popular nonsense that Chopin's Third Sonata is a sprawling, uneven and rather unsatisfactory work.
Simply exemplary. The only performance on the same grandiose scale is Lipatti's... both are powerful and affecting, though they take rather different approaches.Beautiful Baldwin D as well -- not entirely unlike my own instrument!
@soami2u: I think, save for a time-limit, there is NO excuse to not do the repeat. That is what got Perahia into a conversation backstage with Richter at a concert.
I am speechless, but I'll try....I love the way he shapes a phrase, and he always knows where the phrase is going....that limpid singing tone! I also like his omission of the repeat. Chopin was only following a convention there and I think repeating the exposition weakens the piece somewhat and makes the movement too long (same as 1st mvmt in Sonata #2). Bolet was truly to the manner born....there is no one like him today
You guys are so annoying... if you think Jorge Bolet is deserving of insults and criticism, just realize one thing... that his rubato is rivaled only by Artur Rubinstein. His Chopin and Liszt was on an entirely different plateau. You guys need to get past puberty before you make idiotic comments.
"wrong interpretation"?? Bolet "NEVER understood dramatic music"?? I would think the majority of music lovers will not take such a comment seriously. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but if you want to criticize an artist of Bolet's caliber, maybe you should choose your words more wisely.
lol, yes miracles like 3:40 happen in a live recital. Bolet has a nice sound but it looks a bit fabricated when he plays, much less natural than Argerich for example or Rubinstein. But a great musician , thats sure and respects the intentions of Chopin. much more than Katsaris does....
well played but not exceptional. he has neither the colours of horowitz nor the technique of ivo pogorelich,his version i prefer much more and i think it´s the best one of all. the second theme seems to be played a bit boring,i think bolet´s piano playing or better said his person doesnt have much charisma at all!

I love the way George played the music lines and showed the impressions of the componist
Great pianist, clean and with big musicality, very expressive touch. With admirable sense of proportions!
I love Bolet!! such a clear and refined sound, musical without overdoing the thing; he's really "chic"!

Quite a memory lapse at 3:33, but covered up masterfully as only a great artist such as Bolet can do!

he has such a distinct sound especially with the slower parts. I just fell in love with his Liszt playing and this is fabulous as well!
i love george bolet
Wonderful and a lesson to all in great piano playing

Thanks for that! I was wondering about that.
Best
Meraviglioso
MY goodness! So rich!

Una llama majica 😂👋👋👋👋🇮🇷🌹✔️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Probably the same reason as Earl Wild; the Baldwin SD-10 suits their tone & technique. In Europe Bolet played Bechstein
Siempre lo he escuchado de la exelencia del mundo. 😂
hahaha Bolet and a mistake? come on people this is Bolet! One of the best pianist with the best technique!!
Bolet is still, overall, very musical. This is an enjoyable listen, even forgoing the poor audio and inadequate piano (Baldwin).
He adds notes to what Chopin wrote, like 7'23", not completely convinced by it yet...
In 3:33 Claudio Arrau does a similar version of this... I do the other.
Demasiado latgo el Mix. .Con 6 es suficiente.
Too deliberate--much like your comment. Otherwise, an exemplary observation!
Go Bolet! How long it must take to perfect playing at that level!
Buen dia. 😂
he's musically sound
Still...Katsaris and Cortot are much more fascinating !
super piano fan still. U r idiot. Shut up
