I had the great honor and privilege of studying with Thierry de Brunhoff when I was a young student in Paris in the mid-1970s. I would go for my lessons on his "pacquebot" near Neuilly-sur-Seine. I AM SO GRATEFUL for those days. Such wonderful memories that sustain me now.... Touched by greatness that is so inspiring.... I am glad that this CD has been uploaded for the World to be touched by Chopin and this great interpreter of that Music.... Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.

I too love playing Chopin at the age of 76. Not what I used to be, but still so enjoyable.

Thierry de Brunhoff was and remains the greatest Chopin interpreter of all times. He doesn't bring bold rubatos as all other pianists do. This make him 'swinging'. He never overlooks the dance, always behind the scene with Chopin. For infos, he gave up very soon, in the 80's, being a professional pianist to become a monk. Maybe he's reading our lines right now. I studied the harmony at Paris with Loïc Malié, who was a friend of him. One day, in the classroom, we were talking about great pianists. Horowitz was about coming to play in Paris. Loïc was quite laudatory about him. He asked me my opinion. I was 20, cheeky and answered : - I dont like him. At all. He really doesn't know how to play Chopin ! - what ? Horowitz ? Not knowing play Chopin ? But what do you know about piano Laurent ? You're a tiny little presumptuous musician that says anything, Horowitz is the greatest living pianist ! At this point I had some pain not crying. My heart was beating so strong. Loïc Malié had been a Messiaen student. It was one life's shame. - sorry Sir, but I dont like him... - but who do you like then ? - er... I dont know if you know him, he's almost unknown with respect to Horowitz... He's called Thierry de Bruhnoff... I think I bent the head, ready for another 'slap' (Loïc was a lovely, funny, friendly person, generous, available) - ah, Laurent, I agree with you Thierry de Brunhoff is Chopin reborn... Gosh ! The bullet just passed close to me !

and why was he the best chopin interpreter? the answer is that he was one of the genious pianists Alfred Cortot did form. It was Alfred Cortot the uniquz genious piano teacher who formed all that wonderful pianists coming out after the second world war. Cortot also who influenced the moscou conservatory with his lessons of chopin etudes Cortot with his recordings before world war two. Forgotten voluntarily because of his politic engagement. But not forgotten as a genious teacher who influenced all the important pianists after him like Eliane Richepin Clara Haskil Dinu Lipatti even Vladimir Horowitz (who took lecons with him too) and Arthur Rubinstein (who did give lectures in Cortot's School in paris) and the many others I forgot to mention here

From music to meditation... it makes a lot of sense. This man knows.

First time I heard Thierry de Brunhoff. He interprets Chopin's music perfectly, as if Chopin is playing through him! Thank You, God, for this pianist..and for Chopin

Such a treasured gift, coming upon this site by accident today... I am 70 this year, and have worried all my life that I gave up too easily on my piano studies as a teenager, with barriers arising like financial cost and losing the one teacher who seemed able to facilitate my skills from my soul to my fingers... But I understand my journey now, thanks to Thierry's exquisite and spiritual rendition of the soul of Chopin. This is how I heard Chopin's compositions in my heart, my soul and my mind, but was not able to study and practise for long enough for it to come out through my fingers anywhere like this. I can understand why Thierry chose to leave the everyday world after these exquisite recordings. And I thank him from the bottom of my heart for making them, and for you putting them out there for us, where his gift belongs, forever at the pinnacle of the physical expression of his heart and soul, Chopin's heart and soul...a treasure, forever. I now feel free to return to humbly practising my Chopin, with a joyful soul and a light heart...a very special gift, indeed.

I'm also glad that I discovered him here just yesterday. I didn't even know about his existence, but now I'd put him straight to the top-5, because he understands Chopin. All the contemporary pianists I know are all too often just polishing/sugarcoating/perfectioning such music, i.e. reducing it to show-pieces really, often accompanied with facial yoga gymnastics. Thierry doesn't do that, he represents still the good old school of understanding Chopins music how it should be.

Discovering Thierry de Brunhoff is like coming upon a rare and beautiful flower. His soul and the soul of Chopin merge as two streams joining to form a river. His beautiful sounds full of poetry, nobility, eloquence, and passion weave a magical web which one is drawn into and consumed by. I hope he is aware of the appreciation of so many listeners. I can only say thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Listening to Thierry de Brunhoff's rendition has allowed me to hear and appreciate Chopin's nocturnes like no other pianists have done before. There's beauty and purpose with every phrase, indeed every note, he plays. There's no forced drama by the pianist, but rather the listener is invited into his world or more precisely his heart. This is a gift of music, and through his music, communion with others. In that sense, listening to Brunhoff for me is more than a musical experience; it's also a spiritual one.

These are astonishing performances of Chopin’s Nocturnes, performed with the subtle discernment that Chopin preferred. The dynamics, tone, quality, subtlety, modesty, close reading of the score but very sophisticated (as opposed to academic). These are the ever elusive perfections one who plays Chopin is always searching for. I’m fascinated by his tone - just incredible. Chopin said that in the end it’s playing the music with a simplicity of style - whereby all the great many notes are synthesized into a calm, tasteful style,, with proper legato, no banging and no vulgar flourishes or excessive adornments. Thierry de Brunhoff was so brilliant.

You can also read Chopin’s letters that he wrote throughout his life, even as a teenager. As I say he despised banging, heavy-handing playing of his music. In his letters you can read his direct assessment of many of his contemporaries. He had a biting sense of humor and was quite a mimic. He had little patience for people (musicians) with bad taste or a lack refinement.

One of the interpretations who can touch my soul..

No words to describe this rendition of Chopin’s Nocturnes. Sooooooo beautiful!!

Let's not also forget to honourably mention the amazing quality of this piano's sound. Its singing tone is indescribably beautiful. I'm in love.

И жизнь, и слёзы, и любовь ... Всё в музыке Шопена. Словами не выразить...

Wonderful, I hear him for the first time in my life, oh what a pitty! He plays with his whole soul and his whole heard. I think, Chopin would love his interpretation. For me the best Chopin Interpret ever. Thank you for that wonderful minutes.

I agree. His interpretation is so soft and characteristic. Much gets revealed from his soul and belief, how he sees the world it should be like. I continuously return back to this video. That is a piece of … and can just not complete this sentence. Is there any word for that?

Его музыка дышит вдохновением, любовью и жизнью Будто сами ангелы играют его руками. Спасибо за шикарную подборку Я буду возвращаться сюда снова и снова🙂

Хуйня какая то

Chopin is such a comfort. Beautifully played by Mr. de Brunhoff.

Comme la première lumière du crépuscule, cette musique ouvre les yeux à de vieilles promesses et à toutes les anomalies bienfaisantes de la nature. Evocatrices de pouvoirs au-delà de l'observation, ces pièces tirent les ficelles du cœur, attirent les nostalgies et réveillent les regrets, les vies écorchés et la torpeur des veilleurs tourmentés💐

Thank you! Am speechless....A pure beauty!

Прекрасна, чарівна музика. І безсмертна.

Used these in physical therapy sessions. All went better for seniors, gave life! For all , gives life, hope, harmonized world!

Mon Dieu! I've never heard anything this exquisite. Goes straight through my heart to my soul. I learned the word "limpid" from reading the comments here tonight. Yep, that's just the right word. Perfection. To just say thank you is inadequate. I'm an extremely tough old bird and this has melted me into a puddle. 🙏🏻💕🥰🌹🦋

Most beautiful recording of the Nocturnes. There are not many things as relaxing as listening to de Brunhoff's tenderly striking the keys of his piano making Chopin's Nocturnes come to life.

Somos Seres Humanos con cuerpo y Alma y estas melodías son un verdadero Alimento para el Alma( me trasladan a mi infancia , a mi madre le encantaba)

Chopin is so charming, leaves me breathless and speechless... It is pure magic!!!!

Mulțumesc pentru această postare muzicală !Te îndeamnă la meditație și relaxare !Este o compoziție complexă și frumoasă !Sănătate !

Magnifique de délicatesse, merci :) J'étais élève de Mme Dominique de Brunhoff, professeur de philo et cela reste un merveilleux souvenir. Babar et Célestine aussi !!

Balm to the soul! Such a sensitive interpretation he brings.

This is lovely. He lets the music speak for itself. I just wish it was in stereo.

Best Chopin renditions I've ever heard. Wow! Thierry de Brunhoff your playing is exquisite!
