I wish I knew ANY song I could play or sing (or write) with that kind of tenderness and expertise.
any song at all and I'm glad I can at least appreciate someone else when they step up and play. I'm grateful to have ears and a tiny sensibility...for a song.
A lovely interpretation. Your playing is warm, deep and sincere.
I'd prefer less prolonging of beat 1 in the early "A" section, and more inflection in the left hand slurs. Unlike TheKoreanPikachu, I admire your relative steadiness, and avoidance of exaggerated rubato! (But these are just personal views.)
Your "B" section was just shining in the treatment of counter-melodies and ambiguous rhythms..
Thank you for playing, and putting the "romance" back into "Romantic"!
I hate to argue and I'm not putting her down, but I think the tempo is stiff and unwilling to move. I love when this song has the slow and fast moments that pull on your heartstrings. The drama, the quietly spoken fastpaced action that is sung through the melody is gorgeous; but a musician is an artist. And an artist may do as he or she pleases.
This Was Beautiful. I'm Learning This Piece Right Now . And I Want To Try To Put All My Time Into It Just Because I Like The Way That 1:34 to 1:47 Sounds . Heheh , Kind Of Silly , But Thats My Motivation . The Beauty Of The Sound . =]
@laname323, all the kids are doing it these days. The previous generations threw their arms up in the air and sent their coat-tails flying (all except the blesséd Bolet), and this generation rows a boat on an infinite sea. I honestly think they're teaching the girls to row at conservatories throughout the world right now.
This is beautiful, but the best live performance I have ever heard of this piece was as an encore by the American pianist Roger McVey, after an all-Liszt program.
WOWW!! Ésta bella obra la acabo de tocar en un concierto!! vi acerca de la biografía de Citlalli en internet y fue lo primero que apareció en Youtube... que cosas. Linda interpretación!!
This is a logical tempo .It depends on what he performer is doing what tempo they chose . She has great tonal variety & after a difficult concerto she gave an audience a beautiful late melody .something they might remember. Pogorelich recorded this slower than is almost possible !
Eres increíble, yo también estoy tocando la misma obra y nunca había imaginado que le saliera tanto jugo, en tu interpretación se escuchan cosas que difícilmente se perciben en otros intérpretes
Quiero felicitarte Citlalli por tu estupenda actuación, eres un orgullo mexicano, yo soy mexicano tambien, y estudiante de piano y eres una verdadera inspiración. Saludos desde Sonora.
I think she does a very nice job; it's different from what I'm used to hearing, but I think her interpretation is consistent and makes sense, and her playing, though not as passionate as some, is elegant and beautiful.
Im just saying her body movement seemed awkward at times and it was distracting...and as a musician/performer, it is her job to express the emotions she feels for the music to the audience accurately through her performance and because of her awkward body movements (nervous-looking shoulders) and finger gesture, I have a hard time connecting the performance (not just about the music) to the beautiful music she has delivered. So yes it is her job to make the audience feel connected.
Actually she's one of the most passive mucisians. Some others seem like they're going to decapitate themselves while playing, whereas she's very calm, and her movements are gentle.
Effectivement, cette interprétation est excellente : bonne nuanciation, des rubatos bien venus, mais je note deux fausses notes à 4'11" et 4'17". C'est pardonnable...
I really admire you, you're really awesome!! =] your gesture and expression is just right, and I like your style as well. I think your edition is better than any of the recordings I've heard before. add oil~~ ^^
This piece is not technically very difficult. But it is certainly difficult to play this as well as Citlalli (check out Lugansky's performance at La Roque d'Anthéron, she is very much better than Lugansky).
A beautiful performance; Brahms would have approved.
Because it is a live recording, hall conditions come into play for tempo consideration. If it's very wet acoustically, to play it slower is a wise decision. Dry halls one would have to play it something like this faster, so it's hard to judge her by just this recording.
I just finished this piece... she does a wonderful job! a lot of people want this piece to go a lot faster, but any faster and the emotion would fade... when I play it, I try to keep in mind what Brahms had written, but I also play it how it feels it should be played
my orchestra teacher made his own version to fit our orchestra and it is amazing! Of course the piano piece is better because it's the original, but with the feeling of a great orchestra playing it, it is AMAZING!
it's not whether you make a mistake or not. it's how you recover from it. i find her interpretation was beautiful. her voicing is top-notch as well as her dynamics. the only thing i hate about pianists these days is their posture. is it so hard to sit straight? i have no difficulty...
her posture is one of an excellent pianist and she is getting deep into the beautiful music...but i agree- some pianists have bad posture. i move when I play and if not I sit straight.
She plays expressively, but why reverse so many of Brahms dynamics? Brahms was meticulous with his directions to the pianist. A better pianist might be able to make a more convincing interpretation without such drastic alteration to the text.
However, it's such a beautiful piece that I think it's less a matter of pianistic skills and more a matter of musicianship.
Honesty is important in any art form, and I think betraying your own instincts so as to follow Brahms' meticulous directions could detract from your performance.
I like this one, but personally prefer my own interpretation (lol, how humble =P), but I think that's the beauty of this piece: it's so deeply personal almost any interpretation can tear at your heart-strings.
I'm learning this piece right now!!! i can understand what BHCD is saying... notewise this piece isn't TOO difficult (however it isn't easy) but making it actual music is what makes this piece worth a professional recording... and this young lady did it gorgeously!
oh my god, amazing performance, EXCEPT, the chords section after the first triplet section, was soooo stagnant and had no direction. a few mistakes after that. but hey, the rest was very very nice, pleasant, and heartfelt. as the piece is
Hmm, I wouldnt' say stagnant, but the voicing is very difficult to hear in this bad recording. Also, sounds like the piano is a little tinny. A well prepped Steinway would have a much fuller sound on Brahms.
I just heard this piece at a recital today and ....WOW!!! If this doesn't give you goosebumps or cause you to tear up, I don't know what does. This is the meaning of true beauty.
Sempicemente sublime... sia tocco della mano destra, sia nella gestione della sinistra. La trovo efficace e rispettosa della biografia del compositore. Bravissima!
A nice job, but for my taste, too much "piano" and not enough "pianist". The heartbreak in this piece is in its unexpected lightness of touch. Heavy-handing it threatens to make portentous what should be at once tragic and simple.
This is a very beautiful interpretation, but it's not as easy to listen to when one is not watching the video. Sometimes it feels like the music is dragging behind tempo. Also, I feel that there is sometimes the accompaniment competes with that oh-so-gorgeous melody. Try the Neuhaus version.
I'd like to congratulate this great pianist personally, she's amazing!! This is the way to play this pieces beginner pianists!!! We must to learn from her :)
this is a very professional performance. im not sure if ive heard of a better interpretation. its well paced, well phrased, and very well played. bravo!
Toca bien. Y es mexicana. Mil veces más interesante que Lila "síndrome de Downs" y toda la pretenciosa nacada de música de narcos que sufrimos hoy día en México, ni se diga la cantidad de pianistas y violinistas melosos y maricones.
The tempo is perfect. It just feels right. Any faster than this and you wouldn't be able to capture thos little moments where the music almost falls over the barline and from one harmony to another.
She plays beautiful, but it is too much rubato and too much mincing (gemaniëreerd in Dutch). So many pianists do this nowadays. The tempo is just too slow. More parlando, in my opinion.
I feel you listening carefully and making pretty sounds with something approach a defined affect...but I don't feel you"feeling it"...nor do I feel myself "feeling it".
What I do feel is that as soon as something good starts to happen in your play...you rein it in,on the leash of propriety.This music cannot survive the regularity imposed upon it by propriety....because it's all about indecent feelings.
Lovely and thoughtful playing. I adore Brahms. I love the intimacy of this Intermezzo. This is my favourite. How he weeps, but then, there are those glorious sun-kissed moments too! Wonderful!
i think she played it very well with the interpretation but she played with flat fingers, which is not the best thing, but overall it was very nice. (i have a thing about playing with flat fingers)
Coincidimos muchos Citlalli, tu interpretación de esta pieza es fenomenal, siempre será un placer supremo escuchártela, con ella hacer vibrar las almas de mucha gente, incluida la mía. Muchas gracias por ello siempre! Nevsky...
Yes, most parts are just the right speed, but others are a little slowed and too in time. I know that's a good thing, but this is an expressive piece and there has to be some character and vibrance put into it. This is one of my favorites to play.
Yeah is great piece, i love play it too. Its easy to execute, but itsnt easy to interpret. Do not you believe that she has a small mistake of execution near the end? between 4:10 and 4:15, or it is only my hearing. A greeting.
wow i am very impressed. but i think sometimes she tries to be too careful and in those few sections that wariness takes away from her musicality a little.
I think that this tempo is fine, as long as there is tension and resolution. She has that inner pushing, and her musical intent seems sincere. Keep in mind, Brahms composed this in one of his last years after he had "given up composing." I agree with tehmaine; I think Brahms would have played his heart out :-)
Actually, I think it could be a wee bit faster. This tempo has the effect of seeming to go on forever and just sort of sit. But otherwise, I like it.
Very good esecution but I don't agree with IceSkateMelis, structure piece born to have esecution soft and slow but better don't exasperate this way, risk to be monotone. Anyway 5/5.
Cis B D... pling pling pling... What a theme, its so great!!!

Yeah is great piece, i love play it too. Its easy to execute, but itsnt easy to interpret. Do not you believe that she has a small mistake of execution near the end? between 4:10 and 4:15, or it is only my hearing. A greeting.

2:37 she did a beautiful job with that part though. I have to give her that :)

This is a very musical performance, I think i would have loved it far more if it was a little faster in certain spots..

Wonderful attention to voicing and color - don't forget that even though Brahms grew up in Hamburg, he was Viennese in his heart!

wow i am very impressed. but i think sometimes she tries to be too careful and in those few sections that wariness takes away from her musicality a little.

Brahms captured in every nuance. Perfect and beautiful as the old man himself would agree I'm sure.
Even with the poor recording quality, the performers brilliance still shines. Just makes the listener reach a bit more for it. It's all good.

Brahms wrote the most beautiful piano compositions of all IMO. He must have had some big hands though. I have a hell of a time with his stretches.

I think that this tempo is fine, as long as there is tension and resolution. She has that inner pushing, and her musical intent seems sincere. Keep in mind, Brahms composed this in one of his last years after he had "given up composing." I agree with tehmaine; I think Brahms would have played his heart out :-)

Robo, I think this is the way Brahms would have played it. It's a romantic piece, with a bit of mystery. She plays it perfectly.

Actually, I think it could be a wee bit faster. This tempo has the effect of seeming to go on forever and just sort of sit. But otherwise, I like it.

Simply the best playing on this piece on YouTube. Everyone else seems to play it too fast and not soft enough. This one is wonderful.

Very good esecution but I don't agree with IceSkateMelis, structure piece born to have esecution soft and slow but better don't exasperate this way, risk to be monotone. Anyway 5/5.
