“I think music is like a circle. So when you’re a child, you have a kind of simplicity, primitive. And then in the middle age, everything makes it complicated (…) and then when you get older, you come back to the simplicity, but it’s already wise. Very wise simplicity.” Dang Thai Son I love this quote!
He is phenomenal. A movie about his life should be done. He was born and grew up in a war torn country. He had overcome unimaginable hardship to get to where he is now. He is a huge inspiration for lots of Vietnamese like me.
not to take anything away from him, but it was also the height of the cold war, many western pianists were not able to take part for one reason or another
It proves that learning music is spontaneous and self-disciplined. You either have the musical sense or you don't. Not because you attended some highly commercialized Lang Lang master class, then you think you automatically gain something.
at 07:00 thai son lovingly mentions how his mother in the mountains where they lived with no electricity, was playing melodies of a nocturne and a mazurca, when he was 8 years old, at night, in the silence of the night... and at 07:38 it is so nice how he talks about the nobility and the wise simplicity of his major musical influence after his mother, that of arthur rubinstein...
Thank You the famous pianist Đặng Thái Sơn for this lengthy interview. You are very honest in talking about the period after winning the Chopin First Award, of going back to school to learn more. I will follow you and your role pianist, Mr. Arthur Rubinstein, to search for and to enjoy the simplicity style of play which you are mentioned.Best Regards,
I was very happy to see him on stage at TCE in Paris.He is a fantastic pianist but a great personn with a big heart, an open mind, he has my whole admiration🎉😮
I'm really happy that he won and not Ivo. This is very rare that a participant of this competition has, by entering it already, as deep and rocky live experience as him. No wonder he was more mature and close to the chopin torn soul than most other contestants.
I just knew him becoz I searched most famous pianist in Vietnam to listen to some songs while studying. I expected him to be strict and things coz he is from Hanoi (sorry I have this thinking Hanoian always strict and disciplineed) But damn he is soft and joyful. I dont know if he came out but he definitely gay (again, I respected LGBT people) Just wanna say thank you. You made Vietnam proud.
Que Chamem o Leo do canal MindHeadphone pra verificar o tuning dos competidores 😅. Eu penso como seria engraçado ele falando dos competidores como ele fala nas análises dele dos fones😂.
Nếu Đặng Thái Sơn ở Việt Nam thì cũng “chết” từ lâu rồi. Môi trường âm nhạc Việt Nam không thuận lợi cho âm nhạc cổ điển phát triển. Mỗi lần về, Sơn dạy Đăng Quang rất cẩn thận. Thằng bé cũng khá nhưng để thành Đặng Thái Sơn thì không mơ. (Lời của nghệ sĩ Trung Kiên?)
Ở Việt Nam không coi trọng piano nhiều. Đến nhiều người mình gặp còn nhầm lẫn giữa cây piano và cây organ, chỉ cần biết chơi đàn là tốt, mặc dù piano khó hơn nhiều. Piano cổ điển thì miễn bàn. Môi trường như thế thì không thể phát triển.
Chopin=Beethoven, both considered Bach as a master, they merge in the sonatas, the fourth movement of Chopin's first sonata is pure Beethoven, and the second movement of the pathetic sonata (which is not pathetic)it reminds a lot of Chopin songs, so I think they have some connection.
His winning the competition and many prizes didn't have anything to do with Pogorelich being eliminated, even if the judge let Ivo advance into the final round, who's to say that Ivo could have won the competition? They could have both been co-winners, or ivo as second prize, third prize, or even fourth prize, use your brain. You speak as if DTS awarded himself the prize, he didn't, 20 of the best musicians in the world did, and you are definitely not one of them.
You are probably are not able to even play the Hanon exercises, and now you are going on RUclips telling the Chopin comp winner to return the prize, as if he stole it? You are the one who doesn't have any dignity.

Dang.
I CANNOT believe he only professionally studied for 3 years before competing and winning the competition. WOW! IT GIVES ME HOPE!
I mean he is a genius, he also experienced a lot of hardships, which influenced his playing a lot
I STILL HAVE HOPE DAMN
I think it helped his emotional maturity, what is loss, sorrow.. He's experienced all that over years
He is phenomenal. A movie about his life should be done. He was born and grew up in a war torn country. He had overcome unimaginable hardship to get to where he is now. He is a huge inspiration for lots of Vietnamese like me.

Listening to his mother playing nocturnes and mazukas on a moonlit piano in a forest, what a way to be introduced into Chopin.
lmao
Yes, I loved that anecdote too.

One of the best interviews I've ever seen.
Amazing, he's not full of himself at all, given all his achievements

Thank you for putting Arthur Rubinstein's name here!! Very helpful for us!!
He is so humble and honest.
fantastic person. Thanks for this
Chopin Competition should be very proud to have a winner like Mr Dang Thai Song, what a great musical poet and sincere gentleman.

He admitted that the 1980 competition and no doubt the most controversial was not transparent ...
The pride of Vietnam and Poland :)
And CANADA!

Actually, he has commented on gay Pianists, and stated officially that he could never be attracted to another male.
Incredible man!
I don't speak English but the book is on the table.
8:28 - 8:56 true words, unfortunately, completely understandable by the elder only.
So wonderful
❤️❤️❤️

Why is he speaking like a Thai, with a strong Thai accent?
i think it is Southest Asian accent beacause it's very similar
@@johnrubensaragi4125 His name is undoubtedly a Vietnamese name.
Actually he has a very northern accent when speaking vietnamese

of course, he can only say "objective"...
Thai Son is in vietnam and his nationality is vietnamese and I am Vietnamese too
He's living in Japan now, only his nationality and place of birth is Vietnamese
Devolve el premio a IVO si te queda algo de dignidad, quien sos?

DTS was not the only one who advanced into the finals, 9 other pianists also did, but somehow it's DTS's fault because he was the winner?
@@kiranbernard7214 no entiendo nada besitos 🤔💋
dang thai son merecio ganar esa competencia pareces que no lo haz escuchado
