He has a lot of subtle humour. I love that! And what a nice voice.

We love him , period!

WOOOWWW... this man is a genius! His point about music not being strictly an audio experience is unbelievably facinating. He is such a high level thinker!

"cleaning up a recording is like undressing the Mona Lisa and realizing she doesn't have very clean pants. This is unfair because the picture is about her smile not her underwear. this is exactly what digital technique did to us." - Krystian Zimerman what an interesting analogy

Good

Obviously he's super-intelligent and, as a musician, has a very good ear. People like that tend to speak many languages quite well.

Mindblowing interview. Thank you for sharing.

Having never heard his voice before, I found his to be completely unexpected. Great interview.

Thank you for its thrilling interview One o the greatest pianist in our time. A real genius for me. So relevant , honest and human. I am passionately fund of him.

ok listening to him makes me realize i won't ever get along with people who are not artists. i heard him say that "music is not an audio experience" and i thought "yeah well obviously it's not". and then he had to explain himself and i realized that was probably something that's not obvious for most people. these are things you probably only realize when you're in the experience, creating it, ingineering it from the inside.

GENIUS so thankful for this man and the posted interview!!!!

thank you for posting it!

thank you so much for the post!

What amazes me in his interview is when he mentioned the relationship b/w Piano and carpentry. This is exactly what Chopin believed !

Great to hear Zimerman! ...keep sharing those videos of yours, and know how much you are appreciated!!!

Comparing Mona Lisas's dirty pants to digital recording is awesome !

An extraordinary man!

This is insanely useful and interesting - I can not thank you enough.

"And now cleaning this recording is like you would go to the Louvre and undress the Mona Lisa and realize she doesn't have very clean pants this day". Hahaha I love this guy!

Цимерман настоящий мыслитель. Решил послушать эти интервью просто чтобы получить импульс встать и позаниматься, и вдруг обнаруживаю себя рассуждающим об искусстве и его направлениях.

i saw him live at the walt disney concert hall in Los Angeles in april of 09.. he was performing solo and stopped in between one of his sessions and talked to the crowd. it was a very rare moment for someone at the concert hall. i couldnt hear him to well but he was saying something about America and something about his country. im guessing this goes along with his decision not to come back to America.

great insight and really respect this artist's view. I support it

Long time ago at the begings of digital recording in 1990's I read his interview with Stereophile magazine. I wish Mr. Zimerman could write a book about music recoding and music. Maybe this is why, so many serious music lovers still prefer 'not so perfect' analog master tapes and tube amplifications. His very serious man in this matter.

This Interview was given: 10. May 2008 !!

awesome!!

The interview is sensational. Finally a true intellect in the world of concert pianists and violinists, instead of yet another simpering, half-witted pre-schoolers whose sense of history and tradition begins with The Beatles' break-up and ends with Brittney Spears most recent European Tour. What Zimerman says about digital recordings is so perfectly formulated - he articulates the things that have been bothering us all for so many yours.

Fascinating view.

My memory is deserting me, if someone could remind me by telling me what piece is playing in the intro that would be greatly appreciated.

So far - love it...

The interviewer is interrupting him. Ohgosh.

Actually yundi li was the youngest winner of the chopin competition in 2000 at 18 years old.

Geniusz, zwykły człowiek - wzór dla każdego, czy szalony egoista ? Żałuję, że nigdy nie będę mógł tego sprawdzić :-) .

i enjoyed this

What was that peice played in the begining?

No ppodrian traducir la entrevista?

@exp9r Debussy prelude Feux d'artifice

There you go: Z - should be pronounced like the z in "pizza"; or ts in "inteligentsia" I - like "ee" in feel; M - normally; E - open e like in "tell" (eh); R - similarly to German or Italian R or Scottish R; as far from the English R or american R; M - as above; A - open a like in "up" or 'bath' (aah); or in the German "Mann" N - normally; So its Zzeemehrmahn. The accent is like in German on the first syllable.

just like Rubinstein :D

Can anybody tell what is he playing at 2:22 ? Thanks

Debussy prelude no. 12 book 2, “Feux d’artifice”

Yundi Li seems to be the youngest if his DOB is 07oct1982 (won 2000) -- barely 18?. Zimerman's DOB is 05dec1956 (won 1975) -- almost 19. But Zimerman was the youngest when he won it in 1975.

好可惜......齊瑪曼因為健康因素這次不能來台灣了!

Hallo Herr Zimerman, warum bauen Sie die sticks zum Hören nicht mal nach, dann weiss man vielleicht, was Beethoven gehört hat.

wasn't yundi li the youngest ever to win the international chopin competition

Zimerman - a god.

Nie ma za co! Not at all!

"Enigmatic". Jesus, hyperbole never ends... He is just a private person. That's all. He sleeps, eats and shits like all of us do with an added bonus: He plays piano brilliantly. That's all.
