Going fast doesnt always mean putting no emotion. He has a very out of the ordinary style but it suits him well and his playing is sincere

This ballade by Chopin is very sophisticated and very complicated. and Jan lisiecki played it excellently well! bravo! It is really exciting to listen to his playing since its both excellent in technique and in expressing emotions and interpretation. Best wishes for success in the future.

You are too young to know what I am saying because you are playing fortunately for yourself for your innermost soul, so to speak... It has happened with highest names of todays music world: Hauser, Marradi, Cortazar, Morricone, Mancini and so many others...thank yiu for your superb inspiration.

Uhm yknow, the issue with such a well-known piece is that when approaching it as a pianist and performer you feel like you've got to add your very own personal extra touch, just to let the world know that your performance is different from any other and more special, in a way; this, in my humble opinion, is not always necessary. Such beautiful music, as the great Arthur Rubinstein kept repeating, is so high that you do not really need to sort out new extravagant ways of playing it - just warmly embrace simplicity. Simple things hide the deepest meanings.

I prefer Zimmerman's and Lugansky's interpretations of this ballade and am not a fan of this one, but I appreciate very much that Mr. Lisiecki isn't boring. Unlike most of the competitors I hear in the big competitions, he doesn't play it safe, not opting for technically flawless and unimaginative performances as so many of them do. He makes music, even if it's not always music that I like, and I think he fully deserves the attention that he gets.

Dear Jan. I’m finishing learning this piece myself now. What section do you find the most difficult in the ballade? Curious. 😊. Many find the coda to be the trickiest, but I actually find the fast octaves in the middle (measures 119-124) to be the most trouble learning.

A convincing performance, to be sure. I can't help but wonder, though, if he's ever watched any videos of his playing, thereby noticing the almost constant head trembling. Unaware as he may be of this distracting mannerism, the same cannot be said of the attentive viewer for whom it woud be impossible not to notice it. If you question this, try to locate a rapid, dramatic section of this ballade, and watch it with the sound turned off. If what I've described doesn't strike you as being obvious, then I shake MY head in disbelief.

Sorry to let some of his fans upset....but have to say ...........I listened and watched so many pianist interpretations over years, I played Chopin too, I know I am nobody but honestly, even I can tell his performance are always too rushed, in such haste, ignore the most poetic piece and turn it into the pure speedy show. Why is that, why he is so popular...Yes, he is talented at some point, but maybe overrated, probably in playing Beethoven, Liszt whatever, but I really feel bad when I heard he was playing Chopin s pieces. The last time was C sharp minor no20, I still don't believe, rather think he was just too young too nervous, and made several little errors, but this time I do think this kind of interpretation is just no respect to Chopin at all...

Why is this guy one of our biggest rising stars?! He's got nothing on literally dozens of pianists I've witnessed who don't have even 1% of this guy's popularity. I find this and many other of his interpretations excruciatingly shallow, self-serving, lacking any pianistic maturity and his tone is just all over the place. - after further listening my god his rubato makes absolutely no sense. Someone listening to this piece for the first time wouldn't have a clue what's happening. His octaves are weak and inconsistent, no storytelling going on here at all (it's a Ballade ffs), seemingly random agogics, poor balance between LH and RH. Liked his build up to the coda very nice indeed and the coda is brilliant for the most part but wow if this is our best hope for the future of piano then we are screwed 😀

@@LanNguyen-td2ih Well like I said, his physical appearance means nothing to me. I am only interested in his playing. And as I said, his playing at an early age was impressive...but only in the context of his age. However, I still feel that his playing is not so particularly impressive. Very often in the more difficult passages, there lacks clarity and there is an obvious difficulty apparent in frequent wrong notes which exposes his technical problems he still has not overcome. I think there are young artist who were and still remain far more impressive.. A young Alexander Malofeev is one example... I could even say George Li in his early teens... as well as even Tiffany Poon in her early teens were all more skilled and musical in my opinion. And if you walk the halls of any top music school you will see young talents that are far more impressive. This does not mean I don't think Jan is talented. Because he clearly is talented. But in my lifetime, I have seen the likes of a 13 year old Kissin... and so for me, the bar is set quite high.
