Just to provide some objectivity and balance to this entire thread...
Crank up the volume and enjoy the performance.
I just noticed the title of this post!!! This is right up my alley.
I only wish that there was a video of Horowitz, or of Rubinstein (I or II), or some other giant of the keyboard playing this piece.
There are
thousands of people who can play the piece better than this (myself included, and I DON'T mean to brag!)
It is fine that this young black man is playing Chopin...it is however overpedaled, too fast for his technique to manage (he drops a great deal of notes), and I wish that he would take off his hat...he's playing someone else's music after all.
I
urge everyone to look on youtube at the performances of Vladimir Horowitz, especially the Rachmaninoff Concerto no.3, third movement.
Enjoy
