Annie Fischer - Haendel Chaconne in G major

[berlinzerberus]

What a great unique artist!

Wonderful!!

[Ellinidara]

@berlinzerberus Ohh totally agree,but the world has forgotten her..:( what a shame..

[kobiianardo]

i feel like i can listen to anything AF plays. you can trust that she can even overcome any deficiencies on the part of the composers

[uhartchristian]

cette force de concentration , le phrasé naturel, l orchestration, le control du son,

la pianiste la plus fascinante du 20eme siecle. La musicalité et recherche de beauté et vérité, le respect du texte sont toutes des atouts de ce grand Maitre du piano.

Annie Fischer depasses toutes frontieres du piano. Ce que d autres pianistes n ont plus elle avait: imagination et respect envers l oeuvre interprété.....

[MrAndieMusik]

Even now the most splendid performance I know of this magnificent piece of Handel.

[vexxterr8095]

How wonderful! So much emotion.

[Noshirm]

BRAVA, Annie! A dynamic, brilliant, powerful, yet magnificently controlled performance paying equal homage to Handel and to D'Albert!

[morinoroba]

@Noshirm Thank you for sharing it Noshi san,now I really feel anew that the piano is an orchestra :-o ! A sonorous and a masterful playing indeed.Thank you for posting it.(sorry my wrong English,despite your English is excellent ! )

[Noshirm]

@morinoroba Welcome, Lady Ai! (:-D) Yeah, Annie Fischer's approach to playing is vigorous, dynamic. She plays with feeling, with great nobility of emotion, and yes, her sound is magnificent. By the way, I would GLADLY rid myself of my ostensible skills in the English language if I could create the beautiful art you do - or play the piano as marvelously as you do! Hai, Ai!! (:-0)

[morinoroba]

@Noshirm You are so kind...Anyway I respect Noshi san's wonderful English skills very much ! :-D

[Noshirm]

@morinoroba [^ -^]

[byronschenkman]

What a great performance! This is in fact the original Handel Chaconne and not an arrangement by D'Albert.

[avalokiteshivara]

Incrivel!!  Muito Antigo e muito bom!!!

[sexfeetunderthesky]

Je ne sais pas si certains l'ont remarqué (j'ai bien sûr pas lu tous les commentaires ^^) mais je trouve la ressemblance de ce morceau frappante avec l'ensemble des variations Goldberg de Bach... Ils étaient nés la même année mais je pense pas que cela suffise à justifier entierement les similitudes Bref juste une remarque en passant =)

Sinon c'est d'une beauté incroyable =)

[MrSleutel]

Bravissimo

[felix0911176727]

I always can't believe this is a work of Baroque time! Totally... romantic :D

[goldberg72]

@felix0911176727 grandiosa oserei dire:)

[RollaArtis]

This is in fact, an arrangement of the Chaconne by Eugen D'Albert, hence the "beefing up" of the left hand part.

[eribani]

@RollaArtis ha, i was wondering if she had arranged it herself or not :) i'll put it in the info box

[RollaArtis]

I only know because I have a Phillips piano roll of Ella Rafelson from C.1920 playing an identical arrangement of this Chaconne - on the label it says "Handel - D'Albert". Annie Fischer was from a generation which no doubt was hugely influenced by D'Albert's reputation.

[eribani]

thumbs up! ;)

[tommyIglesias]

@RollaArtis THANX a lot for the info!!

i love this piece, my favourite of handel

[TheJamesalden]

So wonderful, so sublime. Words are so terribly insufficient when it comes to expressing my appreciation and gratitude for this. Thank you Eribani!

[dksrkdud]

like it! so much character out of her..

great work!

[seremerow]

音樂藝術的表現，著重於"風格"。

Annie Fischer的彈奏手法強調出"高抬指"，這樣一種源自大鍵琴­的彈奏方式。

而藉由現代鋼琴展現超越古樂器的音響共鳴{包括輕踩踏辦的技巧}­。音粒顆顆分明，於快速的樂段恰當地運用朦朧音色展現層次。

這是了不起的精彩演奏！

[raoul2u]

Thank you. The music flows through her so naturally.

[JSBACHingmad]

Isn't it wonderful that Fischer's measured, yet personally expressive, purity contrasts so strongly with Murray Perahia's splendid rendition -- or indeed Andreas Staier's ravishing version on the harpsichord -- without one in any way cancelling-out the other?

[bubinusol]

Fa l ´effetto di una droga - esaltante -

e che bravura d´interpretazione.

Complimenti!

[dessayfan]

Potrei passare un'intera giornata ad ascoltarla..

[marchanjd]

pour cette chaconne je ne connais pas d'interpretation aussi belle que celle d'Annie Fischer qui nous est offerte ici et que je trouve absolument admirable.

[goldberg72]

concordo con te

[bushido1933]

HWV 435 !

[tommyIglesias]

naa, this is the Chaconne in G major, i have the score for this in a book, passacaglia is the one in G minor with 15 variations

i dont remember the HWV of this

545 i think jajaja i dont know

greetings from argentina!

[loveforever997755]

Absolutely fantastic, she is one of greatest musicians ever lived, and it is crime against music that fillips haven't included her in the series "Great pianists of 20 century".She is 100000000000 better than 95% pianists who are in .

[weikko79]

That's perhaps a bit of an exaggeration, but surely they could have given her even ONE of schlockmeister Alfred Brendel's THREE discs!

[tommyIglesias]

the best interpretation in history of recorded interpretations of this piece

[givemetime123]

Splendide...

[goldberg72]

facili da suonare se ci oensi,ma lei le rende grandi

[pereztonella]

Fantastic, awesome!!!! Though, as already mentioned below, not the Passacaglia. Heanvenly music, indeed.

[indigoblue555]

Heavenly music and brilliant rendition.

Great posting.Thx.

[goldberg72]

al 5:00 e' fantastco

[goldberg72]

magnifico

[tellme5053]

Thank you very much for shared videos.

[RosszVaszka]

Ez gyönyörű!

Hatalmagos!

[indigoblue555]

Thx.for this rare footage -

[Noshirm]

I love Annie Fischer! She was an incredible virtuosa. She is also the only female pianist represented in Dubal's book where he lists complete recordings of Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas. This piece is a great recital opener. Perahia plays it well, too.

[pianistmusic]

Marvellous thank you for these wonderful videos Fischer is a great inspiration to me thanking you once again.

[Riziez]

Well, this is not the Passacaglia Harpsichord piece by Händel

This is Chaconne in G !

[weikko79]

Perhaps the piece is known by two different names?

[Riziez]

Well, yes Chaconne and Passacaglia are two different terms for the same type of piece of music. But so far I haven't seen anyone else name this piece Passacaglia. But who knows what they did back in 1920 or so...
