In an interview he said that back then he just had to win the competition so that his then severely ill father in Vietnam can get better treatment. He did not spend any award prize for himself, he bought the first proper grand piano for Vietnam National Conservatory. What a soul.

ESATTAMENTE......: Pogo era senz'altro straordinario come pianista ma, troppo spesso, il suo Chopin sembra piuttosto Scriabin o Rachmaninov, completamente fuori stile. La vera poesia del linguaggio chopiniano, anche nei toni più eroici, è nelle mani del giovanissimo Dan Thai Son.......: bravissimo!!!!

Fantastic indeed. I see why he was a first place winner in 1980. He certainly deserved it.

Dear God, he must have a fantastic musical ear to be able to deliver that level of detailed beauty in his sound.

One can see why he won, even if he displaced Pogorelich. His Chopin is delicate, calm, poetic, elegant, sweeping and bold when it needs to be. His hands are long supple thoroughbreads, like Horoowitz's, in that famous film clip. Despite his unprepossessing appearance, he plays with assurance. I enjoyed this right through to the end. Haven't heard much of him, but that's my ignorance: he has plenty of recordings, including DG of this.

J'ai appris peu après que ce deux jeunes artistes avaient été ses élève; le moins qu'on puisse dire, c'est qu'il a bien passé le relai...

This performance still moves me to this day.

Look at his misfit suit.

But he made such a turnover in 2 years. In 2015 Eric Lu and Kathie Liu (if i remember the name correctly) who are his students also gave brilliant work on this piece. True genius. Bravo!

He learned piano from his mother, Thai Thi Lien, a Vietnamese pianist and also the founder of Viet Nam National Academy of Music (the former Hanoi National Conservatory of Music), and was later discovered by a nationally renowned Russian pianist, Isaac Katz, on a visit to Vietnam in 1974. He studied at the Moscow Conservatory in Russia with professor Vladimir Natanson, and Dmitri Bashkirov. Both professors are not "no famous". Studied at the Moscow Conservatory is an honor to the classical world. Her mother, Thai Thi Lien, who studied at the Paris Conservatory and completed her education in Prague, began teaching her son in earnest when he was 5. At 8, Dang Thai Son passed the entrance examination at the School of Music of Vietnam. There's no doubt that he has the gifted talent from god and piece of classical and artistic mind so that he is known particular acclaim for the sonority and poetry in his interpretations of music of Chopin.

His father, Đặng Đình Hưng, is one of the group called "Nhân Văn - Giai Phẩm" who wrote articles, short stories, and poems criticized the dictatorship and totalitarianism of Vietnamese communist government and asked freedom of speech in 1950s. All of them were forced to live in miserable lives after that. Therefore, he was not "favored student" of Vietnamese communist government. Luckily, a Russian professor Vladimir Natanson picked him when he went to Hanoi and saw him playing piano. Mr. Natanson helped him get a scholarship to study music at Moscow and sent him to the Chopin Competition without the support of Vietnamese Embassy in Russia. At that time, 1980s, Vietnam was very underdeveloped. All people lived in the poor condition, especially the families in the "black list" like his family for his father could not get any job. You can see how thin he was. So sad when look at his outfit. But, how wonderful he is playing. Growing in the harsh condition might help him get the deep thoughts that he expressed in his playing.

misfit suite because the Vietnam communist government did not even give him money for travelling + rent before this competition. He got help from a foreign professor. His letter in Vietnamese about this: “Con bị ốm nặng bố ạ, có lẽ vì hành trình đi Vac-sa-va quá dài mà con đi bằng xe lửa. Sứ quán bác đơn xin tiền lộ phí của con để đi thi, họ cũng khước từ bảo hộ cho danh xưng của con trong cuộc thi. Nhưng con quyết định liều và giáo sư Na-tan-xon một lần nữa lại giúp con, ông ấy cho con tiền đi đường, tiền thuê dàn nhạc đệm và tiền trọ… Trong cơn sốt 39.5 độ, con đã chảy nước mắt ròng: Các nước tham dự cuộc thi đều được chào cờ và cử quốc ca của mình, mà Việt Nam thì không có - Con tham dự với tư cách thí sinh tự do… Nhưng cũng nhờ sự cay đắng đó mà con gặp được Chopin - Những nỗi đau giao thoa với nhau đã bật lên tiếng đàn của hồn ông…”

Jay Craigiie Imagine, if he had had the best conditions to be trained as the other most famous pianists in the world, he would have been on the top of the world long time ago. In fact a Russian piano teacher, Isaac Katz who was teaching then in Vietnam discovered him, tried to help him to go to Russia to have a proper training. Though the Vietnamese Communists tried stopping just because his father who was an architect, a painter and also a musician who was in the well known group of talented people that were considered being an opponent to Communists! As soon as he got to Russia he passed exam to attend to Tchaikovsky Piano where professor Natanson who recognized his talent tried helping him to attend the annual Chopin Piano exam in Poland. He got the top reward without any difficulty. When he attended the exam Vietnamese Communist refused to support him, so hè attended Á Á freelance candidate instead of representing his country as Vietnam! No country’s anthem was played when he was nominated! One more time his teacher Natanson used his own money to send him to the exam, even to pay for his performing outfit! It’s ironic that as soon as he got The top reward, the Vietnamese Communists turned around praised him absurdly! Even they gave him the title “The people’s musician”. He had very limited means through his schooling and training, yet he got the top reward! That’s proven how talented Đặng Thắi Sơn is!

Everybody plays Chopin, he's playing music. There's no doubt that Dang Thai Son won first place over Pogorelich who is playing Chopin in his own style.

It is SUCH a SHAME that he hasn’t gained the international fame that he truly deserved. Look what happened to Ivo Pogorelich, who stole the thunder right under his nose by NOT winning. Life is truly funny.

First I think any piano fun would say that Dang is very famous. Pogorelich had very polarised comments but was also an undoubtable rising star. Second after the competition he still couldnt travel to the west because he had a vietnamese passport which limited his fame for like a decade. But he did give a lot of performance in Japan which also had and still have a very good classical music environment.

Genius touch and commitment more into the piece until the end. Breath taking performance.

you are the soul of piano!

How can just clicking a like button reciprocate this marvelous play!

His Polonaise Brilliante is a little fast for my liking but man is it so crisp and clear. Not a single note wasted!

His poetic sensitivity to phrase shaping and dynamics and agogic accent are all SUPERB. I love this person's playing

Came here from spotify just to say that this is REALLY GOOD. I've been listening to this almost everyday for more than a month now. Goated interpretation.

This man is the real deal. Virtually every element is there for Dang Thai Son to be counted as one of the greatest pianists of all time. As for the 1980 Chopin competition, how I wish Pogorelich had been advanced to the finals ... Dang Thai Son would still have won (IMHO), and the spotlight would have been almost entirely on him, rather than on the controversy swirling around Pogorelich's exclusion from the finals. Dang Thai Son will always be one of my favorites, along with William Kappel, Dinu Lipatti and Gilels.

Совершенно зрелое, мастерское исполнение. Абсолютное владение звуковой палитрой, фразировкой, rubato. Совершенно понятно решение жюри о присуждении первой премии. Потому что на тот момент уровень мастерства был уже близок к вершине или уже. Уже в молодом возрасте, в конкурсной обстановке, пианист продемонстрировал такое глубокое понимание Шопена, такое владение музыкальным языком композитора, что не может возникнуть никакого сомнения в решении жюри, несмотря на выпады некоторых его членов.

His style is so similar to Bruce Liu's. He is indeed Liu's teacher.

Am I the only one who thinks his style is pretty close to Bruce Liu’s? He’s actually Liu’s teacher. Liu seems to have inherited and developed his style. Light, controlled touch and excellent tempo, flexible phrasing like stream. In that era, pianists with sound like steel and thunder were noted. Meanwhile, Son had been undervalued. Now Bruce Liu is creating a new trend with his original style, and we can see how modern what Dang Thai Son tried 40 years ago was.
