It doesn’t get much better than this!
At long last, that fourth movement making SENSE musically under the hands of a true Master who fully *understands* the intricate harmonic progression and just not rushes through those eighth notes only to... show off.
I thought the exact same thing
Indeed. And too many people claim that Hamelin "only plays fast...." Whatever.
He makes the beat clear. Only a few players do that. It's just beautiful playing.
In addition to everything else Hamelin does, his legato is out of this world. 15:41 onward is just breathtaking in its simplicity.
Holy hell, how I love this man!
I appreciate that he performing on a Bosendurfer. Those pianos produce such a wonderful sound.
The Bosendorfer is my preferred instrument when watching/listening to performances
Amazing!
extraordinary-
Bravo!
Grande
Incredible
Wow fire baby!
Fantástico!
I think Chopin thought about the 12th sonata by Beethoven when he composed his number 2.
You might be right here - except for the 1st movement (Variations vs Sonata-form, kinda...), Chopin's 2nd is pretty much modeled on Beethoven's 12th, the only Beethoven Sonata Chopin ever performed in public. Thesis stuff right there!
Grande pianista
Worth it for his brilliantly played fourth movement alone. I never really appreciated it before because so many breeze through it as fast as they can. But otherwise not my favorite from Hamelin, and there are certainly several better versions of the 2nd sonata out there.
Even he made a mistake! what a surprise! I noticed he is a human being too not a AI robot. Don't get me wrong, he is super genius and great pianist ever. I always admire him.
He had just finished playing two of Liszt's more difficult paraphrases.
His wrong notes sound better than most peoples "right" notes.
0:45 maybe the only mistake I can recall, ever
15:41
🙏🙌🤸❤️✨

He is great technician, unfortunately not the best Chopin interpret, but this version is good
shame smudged the last chord
Absolutely not. That mistake was quite irrelevant considering the overall quality of the 4th mvt, which was played with brilliance
@@lucaslorentz absolutely yes. Still smudged which is a shame. You don't know what you're talking about
@@ciararespect4296 have you considered reading?
I really love Hamelin but he doesn't know how to treat Chopin. This is not good at all. Unfortunately Chopin is by far more difficult than other piano composers like Liszt, Rachmaninov, Alkan, Scriabin, Ravel etc and the strange in his case is that he doesn't look so difficult as the others do... He is hard to play properly even for Hamelin!!
@@JanWeinhold001 The most expected and classic reply ever....
@@JanWeinhold001 Expressing opinion is never an arrogance, no matter if you have to deal with a big pianist or not. You just have nothing to say and picked up all the cliches existing around and serving them as wise answers... You don't have to be a "Hamelin" to know some things how they go. And if you believe in every Hamelin out there as they were Gods without questioning anything in their playing, then you clearly have serious issues with your personality. Your next comment is gonna be ignored cause simply I'm done with you.

I listened to this sonata played by more than 10 different pianists, each having his (her) own style, but this performance is something else. It's like I've discovered a new piece. Sometimes you have to step out of your usual habits. Hamelin is a master of the piano and knows very well how Chopin is played, but he doesn't like to stick to old fashioned performances. He likes to bring something new to the piece even if it's not for your taste. In his time, Liszt did this too.
I fell in love with the performance, especially the end of the first movement.
Bad take
