Movie Reviews of Krystian Zimerman: Chopin/Schubert
Movie Review: Absolutely brilliant !
Summary: 5 Stars
Krystian Zimerman interpretations of these pieces are simply superlative and unique, I really wanted to watch this recital for so long, I knew Deutsche Grammophon Japan released this DVD some years ago but I could not find it at that time, now that it has just been re-released I am so happy I could finally add this fantastic performance to my collection.
The film is beautifully done with perfectly chosen camera angles and is a real pleasure to watch, the audio is perfect (DTS 5.1) and the picture quality is very good indeed (the recital took place in 1987), believe me that this DVD is an instant classic in every piano DVD collection.
This is the first time I see Krystian Zimerman playing on video, I was expecting a great recital but this performance absolutely surpassed my highest expectations, I was greatly impressed by his magnificent pianism and spellbinding interpretations of this wonderful piano music.
Summary of Krystian Zimerman: Chopin/Schubert
As one of the youngest winners ever in the International Frederick Chopin Piano Competition in 1975, Krystian Zimerman went on to an international career and has performed with all major orchestras and conductors. This 1987 film captures Zimerman at the height of his powers in riveting performances of Chopin and Schubert. "Fascinating visual confirmation of the purely acoustical impression of Zimerman's Chopin recordings...In the Schubert, flawless pianism, satisfying conceptions, lucid and deft--plus superb piano sound quality." (FonoForum) "Zimerman's approach to playing the piano has greatness written all over it. It has intensity, majesty, intimacy, daring, and simplicity, and above all insight."
