Le calme d'un pianiste de bar mais un jeu céleste. Merci de faire revivre cet immense artiste.

Quelle émotion, c'est physique. J'aime comme il prend le clavier à pleine main. Le pianiste libre ça lui va si bien

Samson Francois. Un miracle de la nature

His playing is very elegant, especially in the ornaments and cadenzas. It is improvisational, and his individuality is well expressed, but that elegance is sometimes eloquent and egoistic, sometimes tolerant, and sometimes sensitive, and has a sexiness that seems to sum up the romanticism of a man.

Nobody is mentioning the conductor, Stanislaw Skrowaczewski, one of the best I know.

Samson n'est pas seulement le meilleur interprète de Chopin qui ait existé... il est "le seul" !

Пышный комплимент.

What a great pianist. An elegant, noble style of playing. Beautiful sound. Absolutely exceptional performance. Thanks, Max Lima

Le plus grand de sa génération !

I LOVE SAMSON🥰WHAT A FANTASTIC PIANIST HE WAS👍🏻HE WILL BE MY HERO FOREVER😍

フランソワのピアノ協奏曲だとおっしゃる方もおりますが私はそれだけ個性のある天才ピアニストだとずっと思っています。細部まで美しく音が響いていて、しかも演奏に余裕がありますね！ぜひ今度はRavelの左手のための協奏曲をアップしてほしいです。以前の方は消去してしまわれたので。あまり演奏する方がいらっしゃらない曲なので必見です！第三楽章までアップしていただきましてありがとうございました。特に二楽章の悲哀に満ちた美しい表現は誰にもできるものではないと拝聴してとても感動しました！

Quand on a eu la chance comme moi de l 'avoir vu en vrai à Besançon on ne l'oubliera jamais ! Un génie à l état pur !

Quelle élégance, quelle facilité apparente. Son jeu est merveilleux de simplicité et de naturel.

Je suis pas d'accord avec tout mais sa façon peu orthodoxe de jouer Chopin me surprend agréablement et me fait sortir des sentiers battus.

サンソン・フランソワのショパンは不器用な感じでいて、聴き終えると面白くて、小粋な演奏。フランス人だなぁと思う。

Ardent and noble interpretation. Straight and singing. Emotion without sentimentalism. My favourite.

35:07 The most lucid rendition for this passage I have ever heard!

Well that was a unique performance and as different to everybody else as I’ve ever heard. His choices of tempi (which varied elastically) were intriguing. I especially enjoyed the end of the rondo that tripped along jauntily rather than the common breakneck speed we hear often. I’m going to have to listen a few more times to wrap my ears around it !

An extraordinary pianist rendering a wonderful interpretation of this concert.

Oh my God, his hands. Samson can do anything.

Merci beaucoup ! Je ne connaissais pas cette vidéo de mon pianiste préfère !!! Thanks

How do I double like this?! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you Sir for this interesting upload of Chopin's first pianoconcerto played by Mr François

Thank you so much for posting this! I've tried a couple times to "get into" Francois's Chopin as I love his Ravel, though without much success. Your post persuaded me to try again, and I'm glad I did. I'd forgotten that Chopin could be played with such style, personality, and grandeur. Truly Francois's Chopin is of a different time recalling Rachmaninoff and Hofmann where already such playing was falling out of style with a new generation of pianist like Pollini, Argerich, Ashkenazi, Cliburn, and the like popping on the scene.

Thank you for this rare VDO. One of the most elegant versions of this famous concerto. However, personally, the interpretations of Zimerman, Lipatti are the two I like the most. For the listeners who don't mind some wrong notes, the playing of Annie Fischer was also having full musicality, IMHO.

Um dos maiores Pianista da Época, obrigado por postar esse video !!!!!!!!!

tout à fait d'accord avec le "commentaire-en-dessous"!!!!!!!

A poetic performance, what a pity that he keeps changing the tempo Thanks for posting!

I think this sort of Tempo change is normal for the music of Chopin. Because Chopin explicitly has a very Rubato style and so sounds best when played this way in my opinion

Thank you, Max! I loved it.

Amazing

Thank you, and please let us know the date of this recording, if you know it. Thank you.

3 minutes into this video, and I'm really loving this footage already. I heard Francois's recording of Chopin Etude Op. 25 No. 1 which was impeccable. The clarity of his notes was unlike any of the others in the 20 soloist comparison, so I had to hear more of him, so here I am. I wonder what's the reason for the camera under the keyboard and not above it? That's different. When I see videos like this, it gives me another level of appreciation for the Charlotte, NC Youth Symphony when I was a senior in high school as Principal Clarinet. I'm grateful to have also had the opportunity to study piano, and I do really enjoy the International Chopin Competitions, especially Kate Lieu's final Concert where she received an emotionally riveted standing ovation. I'm excited to hear Samson's performance too, who is way more conservatively composed as opposed to Kate Lieu who seemed to bounce with the beat at she finished the piece; however Samson Francois's performance was very very tasteful and delightful. He's very good.

Hey Max. Thank you for your uploads over the years. Do you have the video Samson Francois play the Bach's bwv 543 and smoke cigarette at the beginning, I have a poor quailty one. It would be so great so see the original. Have a good day!

Hello I have got the link of what you're talking about. It was a documentary. But I am afraid this is the bad quality you are evocating yourself

桑松-法昂索瓦的演奏看似平淡散漫又不經意。其實他極具天賦，音樂素養、技巧俱高，功力深厚。故能輕鬆自如地深刻展現出作品內涵的本質。

fabelhaft

It is a version that will delight the proponents of an elegant and delicate Chopin. Personally I prefer a more energetic and passionate version such as those of Martha Argerich and which are no less poetic.

Orquesta? Fecha de grabación?

L'approccio delle sue MANI alla tastiera e la sua posizione davanti al pf sono simili a quelle di ABM. LA registrazione è pessima e la sonorità dell'orchestra soffoca il suono del pf...interpretazione ai massimi livelli

In qualche momento la mano destra, x eccessiva facilità, si indebolisce un po'... tante soluzioni personali, forse troppe ma tutte bellissime. SF è in primis MUSICISTA e il PIANISTA ne è un effetto. Eccezionale artista ma LIPATTI...
