No disrespect to him but his interpretation is too fast for me. I personally prefer the Zimmerman interpretation, you get to feel more of every note without losing the intensity

@@StormyTeayes, I too prefer the slower paced ones but the funny thing is when you can play it at this speed with such composed balance where it doesnt sound like a stumbling rush of a mess to see how fast you can spit out notes, then it becomes a thrill of a ride to follow along. This rendition is very crisp and articulate despite the speed. I do enjoy the slower tempo versions but this is a special one.

Chopin의 발라드를 연주라는 Cho성진은… 그야말로 레전드

He is the greatest. Such talent.

Such beautiful dynamics

Wow what a beauty! Gifted pianist playing an emotional Chopin! 🙏🏻

Seong-Jin Cho gives the most exquisite rendering I've ever heard. It is one of the only Chopin pieces I love, and when I heard this artist perform it, I knew I could never hear another version of it again. Ever.

Not quite. Zimmerman performance on this piece will never be equaled, but Cho owns the 4th ballade though.

Thank you for sharing. I enjoy a spirited discussion, and I respect your opinion. My apologies for the following long-winded response (and to Chopin fans everywhere for my disparaging remarks later on). I find the phrasing in these two performances to be so vastly disparate that they can be only subjectively compared (as is true in most cases). It is like listening to two different pieces. For you, Zimmerman's performance "will never be equaled" because it resonates completely with you. My extremely subjective opinion is that it sounds a bit cold, but there is no denying that his technique is excellent. Cho's performance transports me into a landscape of overwhelmingly turbulent beauty, where even the wavering of a single note is sublime. And I no longer wince at the brief stereotypical passage that Chopin unfortunately included in the piece. As I mentioned before, I'm not a big fan of Chopin's piano pieces, finding many of them too showy, or too mawkish, or even too boring. La Première Ballade is the only Chopin piece that I've consistently enjoyed hearing and playing. However, Cho's performances of Chopin make even the pieces I loathe sound palatable and transforms others into pieces I now enjoy. I did include a rather silly dramatic remark: "I can never hear another version." I always am open to other performances. Better said, Cho's performance is now burned into my memory as the Gold Standard that will make it difficult for me to hear others. Thanks for your patience with my novella. I look forward to all responses.

@@CrazyMoonLady Oh sorry if I was being a bit assertive then, it’s of course my own opinion but I trust it to not just be based upon my feelings. This particular recording, is a live performance that isn’t a competition, which means that he most probably didn’t prepare a lot this piece he knew for years. Actually, I wouldn’t say it was *that* good from a recital grade viewpoint. Probably an 8/10, the fiery passion here somewhat overwhelmed the delicate balance in this coda. In his album though (Deutsche Grammophon) it is absolutely technically perfect. Should be a 10/10, because I would see absolutely nothing to pick up on if Zimmerman’s didn’t exist. Zimmerman’s not only is technically equal, but has that ever so slight edge in interpretation that makes it go even further than perfection. So, 10.1/10 ? 😂
