Dr. Son is one of the finest Chopin interpreters of all time! He brings people to tears with his constantly dramatic use of tempo rubato, decorating all the cadences throughout the piece!

For me, this is one of the best available on You Tube. Its songful and expressive - with just the right balance between the left hand accompaniment and right hand melody. While there is no debating taste, Dong Thai's interpretation flows beautifully and it never lacks heart or soul. Definitely gets my vote.
The performance of Dang Thai son is always sophisticated and neat. It's a perfect design that doesn't allow an inch of error. His strength was demonstrated in this song. A great Chopin player like the winner of the Chopin Competition.
Dang grew up in a poor family in war torn VIetnam when he had to practice on a piano that housed rats. It is through such experience Dang truly appreciates the intense emotion in music such as Chopin's.
But lets not forget his mother was formally trained in Paris and Prague with a degree. So he was not grown up from a musically barren land at all, just being unfortunately poor and dangerous in war. Right after the war stopped, he followed his sister studying in Moscow. In all, he got good trainings and opportunities for a master that most people don't have in life. Of course, he himself is very gifted, nobody can deny.
Passion ! Pure passion that makes his music when he was young. Now a day, Mr. Dang's cool temperament as a professor make him lose his magic to convey the Chopin's sentimental soul.
i don't know much about music, but, when i listen the Dang version, and compare with Zimmerman's , my heart and soul and ears are touched by Dang's It's a pure feeling tt wasn't inluented by musician view
A completely heart-felt and mind-altering version of this piece. He combines power and poetry in a way that few have even done, except perhaps Chopin himself. Best version of this on RUclips IMHO.
Gracias a los últimos vídeos que han subido a RUclips ,he conocido a este pianista que ni siquiera sabía que existía, lástima que no hagan tipo una biografía para saber un poco más acerca de su vida como profesional,todos los comentarios están en inglés,y yo no sé inglés si no traducen difícil poder entender lo que dicen los comentarios .Me ha sorprendido la cantidad de excelentes pianistas orientales,que son tan apegados a sus tradiciones que sean amantes de la música clásica Occidental.Gracias por tener tan buenos intérpretes que hacen esta vida más llevadera llenando nuestra alma de tanta belleza.
They have a point in that he didn't give any reason for his opinion. Personally, I agree with nico22059 because it just doesn't transcend the keyboard like what I get from Cortot's lyricism or Sofronitsky's dynamics. The other people shouldn't have taken it as an attack on DTS because usually, one performance (especially a LIVE one) does not make or break a pianist. Additionally it IS subjective to say 'this person is the "best"' or 'this person is more talented'. People need to READ.
Yes, no question, not just preferable but shouldn't be compared to the latter which isn't of the same level of artistry and execution despite the big name.
Dang was the controversial winner of the 1980 Chopin competition in Warsaw, when Ivo Porgorelich was ousted before the finals and Martha Argerich walked out from the jury in protest. Dang played conventionally and well, whereas Progorelich's playing was outrageous but fascinating. Dang could not compete on flamboyance. Outwardly, he could not be more nerdish, getting everything right and thereby scoring the highest marks . Yet, his performance moves you to tears, from the nimble and precious delivery of the opening theme to the explosive climax where he let go of his pent-up emotions. Growing up in Northern Vietnam and being Asian meant that he would not step out of line. While adhering strictly to the score and limiting his own interpretive freedom, he would explore the emotional side of the music in greater depth than anyone else. Pollini's Barcarolle is magisterial; Zimerman's, perfectionist; Argerich's, poetic. Dang took us on an emotional ride on a gondola that is gently rocking, thrilling, exhilarating and exhausting in turn. More recent performances of the Barcarolle by Dang are richer, more refined and more disciplined, but this going-for-broke performance is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. This is as much a revelation as Susan Boyle's first appearance on Britain's got talent.
Pour parler de Moguilevski, je vais travailler avec lui (peut-être, j'hésite avec un autre professeur) pendant mon stage. Et Yundi Li a joué au festival de la Roque d'Antéron, ce qui est pas mal. Je connais pas les autres.
ngày tôi mới lớn tôi không rời chiếc băng cassett của Richard Clayderman cũng hay tuyệt hảo ! nhưng hiện tôi lại thường nghe những bản Sonata của Đặng Thái Sơn ! excellent! good music
Vous pouvez me tutoyer, compte tenu de mon âge... Avez-vous des exemples de pianistes qui auraient "disparu" après avoir remporté ce prestigieux concours? Et cette interprétation est-elle aussi stérile que vous le prétendez? J'imagine que les jurés n'ont pas eu leur diplôme dans un paquet de lessive, de plus 15 personnes ont voté 5/5... Sinon, merci d'avoir répondu.
He's obviously listened more to Dinu Lipatti more than Zimerman, as his version is nearly identical to Lipatti's. Great trills as well. He sings the perfect Gondolier song. He does tend to get too carried away at the end though. If he could listen more to the cantabile line it would be even better. I've uploaded my version if anyone would like to listen to it. I'm not very good. Still amateur level.

Et ne parlons pas du concours Bach! Je connais Faerman,Moguilevski,S.Igolinski,(un immense musicien qui se voue à la composition)de vrais grands musiciens qui sont devenus confidentiels,hélàs,mais je ne trouve pas leurs enregistrements.Alors celui-ci sera vite oublié avec sa ...barcarolle.
Vietnamese people have a special martial art called "drunken fighting art ". It's the most wonderful art in the world. So is this performance. In the rate of his young age, he can compare to Lipatti and Cortot.
umm. I'm Vietnamese and I've never heard of that. I think you made a mistake between Vietnam and China. China has a martial art called the drunken fist so maybe you made a mistake
Ah.. No? I don’t think there is such thing in Vietnam. I have never heard of that martial art ever mentioned here in Vietnam as a Vietnamese special fighting art.
He starts very promising, towards the end he looses control over the Barcarolle and explodes like an overpowered robot. Playing this piece also I know it is very tempting to do so: let yourself go completely. For the listeners however it is simply too much, you loose the melodies in a tornado of sounds. The explosion also results in slowing down the final part much to late and playing much to loud. Of course this is my personal opinion. His fingerwork is perfect, I hardly noticed failures!.
I think you know your critic is very narrow. You're talking about just one or two measures of virtuoso flourish. You're not wrong, he pulled it out a bit artificially like he probably rehearsed that measure alone everyday for weeks. But it's harsh to just say that about his performance.
Often after he plays the right hand melody, why is he waving the wrist up and down then? Piano is not violin .. it is wasteful energy spent that can be reserved and used for other parts of more efficient, elegant and expressive keyboard contact process ...
yes, and so did Bunin, so did Blechacz, so did Yundi Li (when he was 17!), so... And another thing, I don't care about what judges of a competition think, in that competition Pogorelich was better than this guy in a lot of ways...he just didn't win because of political reasons... For this barcarolle, if I were you, I'd listen to Rubinstein and Lipatti...maybe Neuhaus or Perahia...
Hmmm...if I DO bore you so much, why answer? Stop posting trolling crap, and I have no need for 'correction' of it... I think 'striking home' some truth on you and your shallow musical mind and talent is more the motivator of your non-boredom with me...the thorn in your superficial side. Bur boredom IS the catchword for your playing...
Il y a assez de premiers de concours qui "n'étaient pas trop mauvais" en effet "pour avoir eu le premier prix" et qui ont tout à fait disparu. Je m'excuse d'avoir été virulent,et je vous remercie pour votre remarque gentiment ironique,mais ici la barcarolle n'exprime rien,que du vide,du creux,de l'absence,bref ,la décision d'un jury, polonais, de surcroît, apparaît incompréhensible,au point de se demander comment les autres candidats ont réussi à ...faire encore moins bien!
This is a fiendishly difficult piece because there's nowhere to hide, no brilliance or virtuoso technique can hide the demands of the poetry intermingled in the piece here unless the piece is played boringly. Almost all modern pianists would reveal a lot of weaknesses if they played this, but most will make the piece sound boring instead of themselves incapable, so it'd seemed it's not their fault. There's a way to deny the poetry in a piece so as not to take artistic risk because of the pianist lack-of imagination. Certainly this pianist interpretation is geared toward minimizing risks, and trying to show off his trills by taking a slower tempo (which makes the trills stand out). He also worked his theatrical very well, He is not without merit, but after I listened to Cortot i was aware that this interpretation is too slow. The rubato is mechanical and academic. His strength is to be very clean but that is very intentional, instead of revealing the piece, he slows down in the wrong places and drops in tone in predictive single mannered way. Listening to Cortot the trills and rubato have the correct tempo which is not that of an electric two tone machine like here but that of sail caught and flapping in a wind with a bit of defiance in the middle of an evocative poetry piece. I think Son is making interpretative mistakes. Turning this piece into a british garden with butterflies and daisies. It's more than that, it's a Gondola song in Italianate style not a butterfly going from flower to flower and turning into a paradise bird making display of how fast and loud he can beat his wings (trills).
Interpretive mistakes? The whole point of interpretation is to take the music and tell the story in your own voice. Everyone’s vision is different...Cortot, Argerich, Kissin all have different takes on this piece, but they’re not wrong in the way they tell the story. Dang Thai Son played this beautifully and made certain interpretive choices that helped him win this Chopin Competition.
@@orlandocfi There's a way to win a competition and it is not the best way to interpret a piece. Certainly a polished technique is required but he clearly makes choices foreign to the musicality of the piece in order to sound cleaner and show off misplaced effects for the jury. There is a certain way to work a piece to maximize chances of winning a competition and to minimize risk. His interpretation is entirely geared that way. Listen to Cortot to hear a proper interpretation. Thanks.
Puisque le question de l'âge se pose,disons qu'on devrait interdire les moins de deux ans et les plus de treize ans et demi. A part cela, ce gars,il croit vraiment qu'il fait de la musique? c'est un gag de la caméra cachée?ce "Chopin" qu'il joue,c'est connu,ça?
What's special? Bottom line: Move the listener, or don't bother playing Chopin at all in my opinion. Zimerman fails to move me because he's too chicken shit scared to take himself more seriously as a pianist. He is the pianist every passionate and serious pianist would like to avoid. Ask any serious virtuoso out there.
Dr. Son is one of the finest Chopin interpreters of all time! He brings people to tears with his constantly dramatic use of tempo rubato, decorating all the cadences throughout the piece! He also takes the time to slow and elaborate upon his trills while accenting the offbeats of each measure! AMAZING!!!

Isn't he Canadian now?
Stephen L yes
，musician is universal.
He still has both Vietnamese and Canadian nationality.
My favourite reading of the Chopin "Barcarolle" is Argerich's. My only qualm is that she doesnt stay on the last chord long enough.
A very good performance. My favorite versions of this remains those by Jorge Bolet and Shura Cherkassky.
Only Song and Rubinstein for the Barcarolle.
very good--I thought the ending was a little harsh on some of the chords, though
