Gulda plays Schubert impromptus no.90/4

[TheHarry4265]

wonderful lovely

[wieneralex]

Technically with weaknesses, but musically it really spots some new moods and characters in Schuberts masterpieces, which alone is worth listening to. Let us not forget that Gulda was getting famous for his crossover style in Jazz music, and, regarding this, is doing a fantastic job here.

Like Mozart, Schubert is also very hard to fill with real passion and life, and even harder to make it sound simple and easy going, when you listen to it.

QUIEN OSA RESPONDER CON UN VIDEO AL GRAN MAESTRO GULDA, INSENSATOS!!!!

[MrCapacitors]

Bösendorfer,Gulda,Schubert ahh

[AlcoholLevel]

Gulda didn't show up to please your refined tastes. It was his interpretation of the music, whether you like it or not.

Friedrich you were one of the greatest of all times! Thank you!

Sorry but this piece is quite boring I only liked the last 2 and a half minutes of it

[marcohorowitz8]

OK sorry, then he launched into the impromptu!

[marcohorowitz8]

yup, it's a waltz, not an impromptu

[metphmet]

Quiet unusual interpretation from an original artist and a fantastic pianist.Some fresh air in a piece so often boring with other interprets who to play it nice. I imagine that Beethoven would have played Schubert like that !

[ipmoic]

Also, it occurs to me, it's very hard to switch gears between jazz riffing and classical control. Sort of like playing Bartok and then Mozart afterwards.

[ipmoic]

Everyone has off nights. He doesn't look particularly well here. He was a very intriguing artist.

[perfumeelisabet]

finally. i love this. in my opinion he plays better than rubinstein

[Nofunia]

Wilhelm Kempff ?

[vincecharus]

Not one of his best performance.

His playing is way too Coarse for my taste. He just pounds out much of this piece as he rushes through the whole work.

[chrish12345]

not good playing of the Schubert anyway....

[lazer58]

Well ok, if you mean does he use "classic" technique, aw well, I'd have to agree, no not really. Yeah he is kind of showy. I've only heard him play this is the first time I've ever seen him play. I have several cd's of him playing Beethoven. Personally I have no problem with him, I hear everything. My personal opinion is that I think he's brilliant.

[chrish12345]

I just don't think he practiced it enough. I'm all in favour of his reaction against music snobs, but not when it spills over into a complacency about the actual music.

[chrish12345]

what was that thing at the start?

[Robbiepiano]

A waltz (or laendler) from one of Scubert's books of German Dances
