Jan Lisiecki – Chopin: Nocturne in E Minor, Op. posth. 72/1 (Live from Würzburg, 2018)

“These remarkable pieces invite you to think and feel whatever you want", says Lisiecki, "There’s no ‘right’ response to them, other than the one you’re having.”

For his latest Deutsche Grammophon album, the pianist has chosen to return to the music of Frédéric Chopin with a brand new double album featuring the complete Nocturnes. His new recording captures the spirit of Chopin’s pianism, featuring profoundly personal interpretations of some of the most beautiful and best-loved pieces ever written for solo piano.

Enjoy Jan Lisiecki's performance of Chopin's Nocturne in E Minor, Op. posth. 72/1 live from the historic setting of the stunning Imperial Hall of the Würzburg Residence Palace.

What is your favourite recording by Jan Lisiecki?

[trethtower]

Wow! That is definitely the fastest rendition of this Nocturne I`ve heard. I felt he couldn't wait to get out of there.

[lucdanic]

I see what he was doing. The song is somber. Sad and angry due to the death of chopins sister. Therefore I think slower means sad and faster means angry and wanting to get out, from an artistic approach this is a very good interpretation, just didn’t sound very pleasant, atleast compared to the slower interpretation

[peternaryd_operasinger]

Absolutely fantastic! You're the best Jan!😁👍👏👏👏👏😍

[erikmkrtchyan]

O my God 🤦🏻‍♂️ 🎶=69, I've been waiting for this performance for so long, I'm disappointed. Broken a lot of legato(((

[wagnerpolveiro]

Wonderful..., it's absolutely delightful to see you and listen to your performances my dear Jan, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful and great talent.
Thank you, "Deutsche Grammophon", for the post.

Here is a perfect example that trying too hard to stand out of the crowd may lead to disastrous results.

Lisiecki is a very talented pianist, great, really, and I am no expert, but I do know Chopin - and Beethoven, for that matter - were often depressed, perhaps, always so. Beethoven concertos are usually played like battles with pre-determined victorious outcomes. I like hesitancy, a sense of being lost, not certainty. I rarely hear that in the technical perfection now in style.

[Picasso]

I am sure Jan is very talented and technical but it seems that he is not understanding Chopin's work deep enough. His rendition for this piece and op 48 no.1 is just... I can't even last to the end of the video.

[andrews]

This is a nocturne … not an etude ?! 🤨

[anaitmail]

Jesus, that's flawlessly fast. I'll stay with Horowitz or Rubinstein. I don't know what exactly happened here and I love other Chopin nocturnes played by Lisiecky, but he killed this one, literally. Three pages of Chopin's masterpiece gone. Such a shame for such a brilliant pianist

[Isuzu]

Feels like I'm listening to FantassE minor Impromptu.

[kaniakowalski]

Piękno muzyki nieadekwatne do zmieniającej się z czasem urody wykonawcy nie do poznania

[esfirross]

Never like J.Lisiecki and that proves.

[Jordan-vzkt]

This is so disappointing. He played it way to fast

[richardcorrea]

Si chopin escuchara esta interpretación seguramente entraria en ira y depresión. Perdio toda identidad la obra, irrespetó cada detalle escrito por el compositor. 👎🏻

[winterwind]

LoL It seems that if you become famous you are entitled to play nocturnes like bagatteless ... did his idea to play such a beautiful piece like this come from the fact he would be late to catch a flight or did he just have to pee or poo and he was in a hurry lmao ?

[Jessica-siwo]

Chopin turns in his grave! terrible performance
