Vladimir Sofronitsky plays "Der Müller und der Bach"

[dagadbm]

i've heard this about 20 times. and every time i don't understand. HOW IN HELL can he play better than a singer. HOW??? MIND = BLOWN!

[Lukecash12]

You know, I'm not sure where I can find the sheets for this piece and I've wanted to play it for a while.

[genocype]

This is really the pinnacle of piano playing

[genocype]

a melodic line played by the piano that can express so much more than what was intended for a voice....you know, this is a second-time revelation. Some things perhaps can really not be put into words without corrupting it.

[libetta]

truly one of the most vocal pianists ever, along with Moiseiwitsch, Lipatti, Cortot, Arrau, Cherkassky and Rubinstein. you know it when you feel the meaning and message of a song

[cabbycab]

this is simply unreal.

The miller is talking to the brook about his broken heart.

The brook tries to comfort him.

Hello truecrypt ! Thank you very much for this video ! Vladimir Sofronitsky is my favorite pianist ! Do you have another songs by Schubert-Liszt ?

[pjioayncoe]

Sofronitsky's playing has a sense of eternity...time doesn't stop, but continues into the past and into the future...it's been there forever and will be there forever...maybe that's the inner heaven we each seeks.

Bravo! Exactly what I feel!

genius

[truecrypt]

There were not too many (if any at all) Bosendorfers neither in Moscow Conservatory nor in recording studios or concert halls. It's probably pre-war made Steinway or Bechstein.

Hello !

This is a Petrov of course !

[antinorest]

And Richter said Sofronitsky was a god. Now I understand why.

[uhartchristian]

@antinorest Richter was one of the few artists who recognized other talents. He also admired Annie Fischer.

and for very good reasons!!!! True artists are very rare.

[paulostroff99]

Lovely! Bravo! TY.

[SarrasaniPianoCircus]

I don't know if this is a good new, but I begun again to study and play piano (after 15 years of silence) discovering these Sofronitzky recordings. These recordings and

a Pogorelich concert, to be honest.

[EilisErina]

WHere could I find the score for this amazing transcription...?it's one of the very few I cannot find :( weird

[oswaldocanasta]

Hello, you can find it in:Liszt Piano Works-Free Arrangements VII

Editio Musica Budapest (Z. B 12 396)

Enjoy...

[EilisErina]

thank you,I have found it now...

[smithsherman]

Unlike his other fabulous performances,he seems to be more involved in the music than the expression.Here he doesn't have "all the time in the world"...sadly.

[smithsherman]

What I like most was his splaying of the parts into an obscuration of the beat from

2:17 until 2:50.
