Chopin Piano Concerto No. 1 in e minor, Op. 11 (Zimerman)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- Written with many influences of Mozart, the Concerto in E minor with an extended exposition for the orchestra, delaying for some time the entrance of the soloist, who plays the exposition once more but with greater complexity. The development section, as is usual with Chopin’s sonata forms, is intense, drawing on motives from the exposition. The recapitulation gives way to a brilliant coda, leading into the orchestra’s last statement.
The tranquil second movement in E major, labeled a “Romanze,” is said to be the gem of the entire work. A delicate Larghetto, the movement’s principal theme is announced in the piano accompanied only in part by the soft sounds of muted strings. As the melody unfolds, it becomes ever more ornamented, adding to its increasing charm. Only a brief middle section in the relative minor (29:44) provides of point of contrast to this beautiful middle movement.
The finale begins aggressively with octaves from the entire string section, but only to give way to a playful tune in the piano that becomes the refrain of the movement’s rondo form. Despite this initial lightheartedness, the movement is not without its more serious moments, alternating between the two tempers and leaving the listener to wonder if the seriousness is not really just part of the fun and games. Nevertheless, the finale’s innate liveliness and energy drive the concerto towards its conclusion and in large, sweeping gestures piano and orchestra together bring the piece to a spirited ending.

Listening to the 2nd movement at 3 o’clock in the morning, all alone in my apartment. No matter how hard life may seem, there’s always a reason to keep going. The 2nd movement of this concerto helps me to realize that.
read this at midnight while getting through a depressive episode, this hit me like that one kid in elementary school who plugged his ch
Nah, just that listening to slow classical music Induces delta waves, which generally prelude These types of over emotional comments
@@jrodriguezpiano I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but I don’t agree either. You are entitled to your own opinion.
No fucking way bro. Its literally 3 in the morning for me rn. I came here to listen to the 2nd movement specifically. Life's tough man, and i always come back to this movement. Cool lol.
i still dont feel better now but i have a pillow :)
I don't think people here criticizing the orchestration realize that writing a concerto was required for students about the leave the Warsaw conservatory. To Chopin, this concerto was literally just a homework assignment.
Indeed but Frédéric Chopin was a genius so… we can understand it.
Rachmaninoff's first concerto was also his homework. Just saying...
and it’s still peak
@@yusouph2002the rach concerto 1 that we hear today is a version he completely rewrote. He had already written his 3rd concerto before he revised no 1. That’s why the style is more similar to his 3rd and 4th than his 2nd. The themes are the same as when he was 17 however.
Nah it's fine
Zimerman's renditions always feel more like a story rather than a showpiece. Precise and technical without feeling rushed, and beautiful and expressive exactly where it needs to be. His pacing is perfect and you can understand the piece as a whole through every bar
21:01 is pure perfection and goosebumps
100% agree.
21:22
This progresses nicely -- I do appreciate this kind of music. One of my favorites of Chopin's
your welcome for the 69th like :) No one can like this now
came to the comments section just to see who else was amazed by this specific piano solo!
40:25 that is the cleanest scale i've ever heard
Zimerman’s rendition of this 2nd movement is the most beautiful piece of music I’ve ever heard in my life. I can paint a million pictures in my head with the emotions.
First movement is "when's the piano coming in?", 3rd movement you forget the orchestra exists
Orchestra? What orchestra?
Yes i thought this was a solo piece! Haha if only.
@@jonathanreeves5847 Yeah he should have just made it a concerto for the solo piano like Alkan, especially since the orchestration in Chopin’s piano concertos is pretty boring.
@@ilikeplayingffftonecluster851 it’s more to accompany the piano. Some parts sound really good ocherstrated so I wouldn’t want those to be left to solo piano.
.
13:58-15:59 such a massive and powerful part deserves my goosebumps all the time I listen to this piece
Kinda reminds me of the arpeggios in Scherzo no. 2 by Chopin
@@Royyyyyboy although those in scherzo are easier (at least for me, I have played the scherzo, and not yet the concerto hah - but I tried it, it is doable, but seems harder for me)
Like it’s so deep omg I love it
The chromatic scales on the left hand is the cherry on top, words can not explain
The arpeggios in the right hand remind me of Etude Op 25 No 11
No one in all infinite galaxies in the universe could have written this but Chopin.
32:53 - Out of everything in this concerto, this moment hits me in the feels the hardest. No orchestra, just the piano. I like to think this is the part where Chopin briefly expresses his insecurities and his feelings of doubt through this gentle chromatic descent in the higher register of the piano.
Water shows feeling when it listens to Chopin
Oh gosh, i've never listened to this concerto, but this moment... I don't think chopin actually wrote this, it looks like debussy
But still amazing and exquisite
Chopin expresses the seemingly inexpressible. This concerto transcends language as we know it, reaches deep into your soul and taps into an inaccessible chamber. Only a few classical pieces can draw me to tears and this is one.
Even if I had never heard of Chopin in my life, I would say that this concerto is composed by Chopin. It is so him.
Chopinin musigi çok guzel
Todo lo de Chopin es inconfundible.
That seems unlikely
@@AH-us3vb why bro
I went to a concert one evening, about 1999, given by the Warsaw Philharmonic. There were only two pieces performed that evening. Chopin Piano Concerto #1, intermission, Chopin Piano Concerto
#2. Both performed by Kissin. Then, the audience wouldn't let him off the stage; 45 minutes of encores. It was some evening,.
After the concert, the man sitting next to me, a devout concert goer said. "Not bad. After Zimerman, of course, after Zimerman."
I think the third movement to this has to be one of my favorite piano pieces ever
Really?
And people say Chopin was a bad orchestrator and could only write well for the piano? Are they crazy?
Just listen to the opening 4-minute orchestral ritornello. Pure symphonic mastery! Bravo Frederic!
F. Chopin's orchestration isn't bad, but less good than other composers' (because Chopin especially composed for solo piano).
But his 2 piano concertos have really good orchestrations regarding romantic music feelings.
i wouldnt call it mastery, but the people who dislike his piano concertos because of the orchestration are out of their minds. the orchestration serves its purpose, and quite well in that case.
@@jojomj Agreed. It's effective, but from a pure analytical standpoint, of course there are better composer-orchestrators.
@@SCRIABINIST I personally believe that no piece of art should be looked upon "objectively" or "critically". Art is not a functionality. Humans have very conveniently organised arts for our quantification but parameters do not apply to art. Its subjective. I agree that there are better composer-orchestrators, Debussy being my favourite but one should gracefully accept another person's judgement instead of talking about the "technicalities". No one cares, the ultimate purpose is love.
@@YoungKantian Of course, any form of arts is indeed objective, which is why like politics, people argue passionately over it. I don't personally think one being an inferior or less experienced orchestrator affects the music, no one ever said Chopin's Concerto was bad or doesn't represent technicality, simply accepting the nature of the work should not be considered an opinion, rather as a statement. Scriabin's Concerto for example, is far less experienced in rchestration compared to something like Ravel's Daphnes Suite No.2, but does it mean it expresses in any shape or form, less? Of course not.
14:59 WOW! experiencing every emotion possible here.
my favorite part haha
21:01 Why Zimerman is a genius. He points not only right hand melody but also left hand melody which is very difficult to play.
Yea, I would have to play that at 0.01 bpm to get it accurate
I notice Zimmerman consistently does a very good job at voicing the left hand in many pieces he performs. One of the main reasons hes one of my favorite Chopin performers
Literally every professional pianist does that...
@@milton3204 Yes, but Zimerman's is the most accurate.
@@federico6485 wow!! you couldn't be any more wrong
16:41 just hits so deep
finally someone who sees it!!
@@ZKLofiTone 17:54 too
my favortie part
Last year after a particularly rough breakup, I came here every night to have a listen to the Second Movement. The beautiful simplicity of the melodies and the tension really reflected how I felt during the weeks and months after the breakup, and helped me get by day by day. Thank you Chopin for this beautiful gift!
I'm a layman when it comes to music. I like it, but I can neither play an instrument myself nor read any notes. I've known Chopin and enjoyed some of his works. But I really, really *loved* this concerto. It's the first time I've listened to it, and I'm absolutely stunned.
A layman could be as prolific in appreciating music as a professional.
Estamos a la par. Totalmente ignorante .Y con 81 años Pero doy gracias Dios todos los días por poder disfrutar de estas maravillas .Nos hacen mucho bien vuestros comentarios
The second movement hits my soul so hard and it somehow makes me realize no matter how hard life is, there's always beauty on it.
42:50-43:07 is so dramatic and perfect
Zimerman's soft, melodic touch is exquisite.
you probably deaf
I cannot find a place where he plays badly. True master!
It's funny, when I was young, my father had a score of this concerto's piano part. As it is usual, it contains simplified orchestra parts (cue notes) so that soloist can follow music. I tried to play the beginning, not knowing that this is just orchestra cue, and I thought it's interesting that there are no virtuoso parts here and that I (almost) can play on piano something from CHOPIN'S CONCERT.
😂😂
Movements:
1. Allegro maestoso: 0:00-23:25
2. Romanze: 23:26-35:55
3. Rondo: 35:57-45:41
Matthew Roman the first movement is 23 minutes long
can you do the same with Piano Sonata No. 1 from Johannes Brahms?
Every night, I go to sleep, and dream about someone doing a complete synthesia video with this recording. One day, hopefully...
One of the greatest works ever written, absolute poetic beauty.
Such a unique equilibrium between piano and orchestra as well, perfectly matching Chopin’s style
Hoy fui a ver a mi papá al hospital, él estaba apenas presente pues sus pulmones ya no funcionan bien y le era difícil elaborar 1 palabra, solo podía expresarse con gestos y sonidos que apenas podía entender, tome su mano y le dije “ Vengo a despedirme de ti “
Le hablé de nuestros momentos, de las cosas buenas y cosas no tan buenas, le dije que esperaba verlo en otra vida o en otro plano, le dije que lo quería, también le di un beso y le dije que lo recordaría toda la vida, puse este concierto en mi celular mientras hablaba con el, sentí que era el adecuado para una despedida de padre e hijo.

This sounds just like the thing Chopin hates
@@glenngouldschair390 what's that?
If there is any good left in this world ...its this right here
I think it's nice, but funny that people like posting the times of their favorite parts.
For me, the Whole Damn Concerto has always been my Favorite!
So lyrical, so expressive, so Romantic, so technically demanding (but not all parts).
So many great parts, so little time!
Chopin is Da Man.
And Zimerman knocks it out of the park!
It's a real treat to see the score moving along top keep up with the music.
Thank you Prok Prok!
He is da man for sure😂
Haven't listened to this piece in years. Takes me back to why I got into piano to begin with. Thanks ❤
Zimerman nous fait redécouvrir ce concerto. Grand disque.
My piano eacher. who was a senior piano examiner at the conservatorium of Sydney ,was in awe of this work All he could say,is that it was beautiful,beautiful and how right he was !
Absolutely beautiful pleying, with every lines so carefully crafted.
This is probably the best (and definitely the slowest) Chopin PC#1.
Very impressive.
我只是不明白为什么人们玩得比这更快。
@@yoshi_drinks_tea It is not people who play faster..... This performance is anomaly, but it really brings out all the subtle beauty of the masterwork.
师太灭绝 这首曲子需要更多人演奏得更加清晰 我完全同意你的观点。
Emil Gilles is even slower, but the effect is amazing
@@gabrielbustos2706 Respectfully no.... Emil Gilels took 39 minutes 48 seconds, but Zimmerman took 44 minutes.
pure and perfect beauty is always beyond verbal expressions... so i'm speechless...
For me, Zimmerman is the master of interpreting Chopin. I always try (key word being try) to model my playing after his.
4:50 i get goosebumps every time. So Powerful
I really wanna learn that section as its absolutely beautiful
21:00 brilliant interpretation
Wonderful concert I love it from several years ago,it,s all sad,glad,storm,dark,light,force,romantic,etc...what miss?
My God What heavenly music this is Chopin must have been an angel in disguise
Piękno muzyki Fryderyka Chopina to fenomen graniczący z cudem.
I wished Chopin could listening to this, he must be proud...
Chopin could make major or minor cry or laugh with great or even forced exuberance...No no else could even penned such magic for all the ages since it's creation and the ages to come.
I can, bet me.
I don't bet dummy.
What a performance! that second movement tho
14:48 - 15:12 piano poetry in action, goosebumps every single time
What bowls you over more than anything is how Zimmerman can take such a simple solo and insert such prosaic meaning into so simple a phrase........ Chopin is such a genius, but it takes a great interpreter to really underscore the fact.
38:49 love this!
20:30 😢😢😭😭
Andrei I think Liszt's gonna be mad when he see's this. Wait I got it! Just tell Liszt that they were tears of disgust and he'll forgive you.
Also thank you for posting liszt's gallop in a minor, there aren't enough recordings of that on youtube.
An undecatuplet, quintuplet, and triplet all in two measures, yet so beautiful...
Piano "How many goosebumps do you wanna give in a single piece?"
Chopin: "yes"
Chopin: oh as many as you can, or how bout til the pianist is bumpy?
0:50 my favourite part❤️
For many, the 2nd movement is a favorite, for its sweet melodies. Well, it’s the only movement I’ve learned to play, due to its relatively low technical demand, and now I really want to learn the other two, with their intricate and epic passages. My next goal for the piano will be to learn this whole concerto, starting from my favorite parts
21:53-22:33 I am feeling every possible emotion, beautiful
I for real almost cried in the second movement
Lovely and beautiful as always❤️
Chopin has an intersting and unusual conception of sonata form in the 1st movement : the bridge doesn't modulate in the exposition, and the second theme is in the tonic key. Only in the reexposition the bridge modulates in the relative key. That goes against the idea that the reexpositition is the resolution of the tonal tension created in the exposition.
Maybe Chopin considers that in E minor, the parallel major key (E major) is a more distant key than the relative key (G major).
Good catch!
Man, I love the 1st movement coda fr
This is too intense for my soul
@Scarlet yeah I'm only 17 and I write a ton a music but...no one really likes this kind of music anymore theres no where to publish!
@Scarlet do you know where or how I can submit it or whatever? Its okay if u dont know I can probably find out.
Scarlet ok boomer
Well said, Franz.
@Franz Schubert lol ok
Kristian Zimmerman is a wonder. His tone and technique are match by only a few, Stephen Hough comes to mind.
everything about this is perfect
Thank you for posting it! Beautiful!
ツィマーマンの演奏はどれも鳥肌もの
ラフ2の演奏とか音楽界の最高峰と言っても過言ではない
16:41 favorito 😍
me too
sisisisisi
Holy Jesus, yes!
42:28 is so... nice
30:15 amazing descent
Some parts of the first movement reminds me of his Prelude in E Minor.
Magnifique interprétation et sonorité de l'orchestre vraiment exceptionnelle !
C'est simplement dégoulinant et d'un mauvais goût achevé, si cela vous plaît tant mieux
@@Alix777. belle formulation, dommage qu'elle ne soit pas de vous qui semblez être à l'affut de tout ce qui peut vous apporter un semblant d'élévation. Vous qui vous cachez derrière une image montrant votre grande maturité.

@@Didier35000 Écoutez la Tribune des critiques des disques du dimanche dernier, j'ai découvert cette horreur et je suis venue réécouter combien ce disque est infâme, tous les participants étaient unanimes, c'est tout ce qu'il ne faut pas faire dans Chopin.
24:50 is gorgeous! I have to admit, The Lady In The Van brought me here!
Спасибо за это удовольствие!!!!! Браво!!!!!🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍
Also,you give important informations, thanks you again, for reminding us this ❤❤❤
Chopin to najpiękniejsza spuścizna dla ludzkości.
Delicate Touching
5:28 to 6:32 and 16:41 to 17:54 somewhat remind me of Chopin's Prelude in E minor (Op. 28, No. 4).
5:28 is one of my favourite moments in the piece, it's played with such tenderness and pain, so beautiful
this and jin cho's interpretation is my favorite
Thank you for score.
At 26:00 Chopin took my heart.
i legit cried
Me too, for real.
Wonderful

No words for it. Climax at 20:20 into Valhalla.
i love zimerman
idk but i have goosebumps at 40:17 part, only like 4 or 5 seconds, really weird
Chopin is unreal
Me too!
24:50 stairway yo heaven 🥰🥰😭😭
Simplemente hermoso... Te cambia completamente el humor. Qué música!
So deep feeling beautiful.
I think Chopin was here also inspired by John Field.It,s a nocturne(second movement)
You're a rare soul to know of John Field, another neglected Irish genius, who created the nocturne for piano, although it's been attributed to others!
25:55 is so hopeful
my two favorite piano concertos are this and Rachmaninov's 2nd 💙💙
I adore this work I think this piano concerto in E minor by Chopin,and the second piano concerto of Rachmaninov are the two greatest most beautiful piano concertos ever written Love to share listening to this music with my Love, because it so beautifully and intensely and expressively expresses romantic sentiments with the one you're in love with Let us never forget Chopins F minor piank concerto and Rachmaninovs third piano concerto, and Griegs piano concerto,as well as Tchaikovskys,which are also colossi of piano concertos
Harikasın Chopin!... İnsanın ruhuna en çok dokunan yüce ruh. Allah sana ne güzel bir yetenek bahşetmiş şükürler olsun.
🤲
44:53 so satisfying
