Menuhin - Cesar Franck Sonata Mov 4

[gerardbedecarter]

Beautiful playing!

[maxfoster1991]

Bit of an awkward acknowledgement at the end.

[jrkrugman]

Best performance of the piano part I've heard.

[windstorm1000]

I can see why violinist (and accompanists) adore this unusual work so--its color/emotion is so different from the usual sonata canon. jazzy chords, intense wide ranging, heart felt emotions. It affords bravura yet soul satisfying work on every possible level.

[sbhatto]

which sister is playing the piano?

[bmbullman]

Action Figure Therapy led me to this video.

[windstorm1000]

absolutely love it--so tuneful.

[Migdal1971]

i love him...

[georgygusev]

Какой звук! Замечательное исполнение великого музыканта.

[michelinopaneevino1]

stupenda ricordo quando da piccolo mentre giocavo con i carriarmati e soldatini mio padre la metteva sul giradischi

[zuzanazuzanita]

Increíblemente bello, gracias Menuhin y Franck

Why is his bow going weird

[tlcooper93]

@Eskimviolin I see nothing wrong with his bow.

[macapo]

after 3 boring mvt, that one that comes with a simple theme brings some relief !!

[HIMADESU223]

For people who want's to know who the wonderful pianist is, she is Menuhin's wife Hephzibah Menuhin. Spectacular playing

[MrFullService]

@HIMADESU223

Actually, this is Yehudi's sister, the older of the two. She was considerably more talented as a pianist than their younger sister Yalta,,,the one married to Joel Rice. Both Menuhin sisters studied with Rudolph Serkin.

lovely old style playing - breezy, brick and unaffected, except at odd places where it matters; much unlike the mannered stuff too often peddled today...

[genmaestro1]

Much, much too rushed! Although I appreciate how difficult this piece is (especially up the high passages!) it sounds quite nervous! Good use of bow though :)

[MrOnTheLevel]

Who is the pianist please? I really want to know!

[TheGaetano62]

listen the oistrack version, dont understand why is

not on you tube anymore

[JEP177777]

Beautiful and very individual performances. And they are both playing for memory. (She is a remarkable pianist.)

[EyeWarrior0545]

J'adore , Même après avoir entendue une bonne centaine de fois je me lasserai jamais de cette chanson :)

[Violinfanatic]

@gibsonpaddy It happens to the best as well as the worst. You do not have to use foul language!

[Elgati07]

jajajajajaj play you turd

[frankcisyarmi]

yo tuve la suerte de regalarle una ilustracion mia , a Sir Yehudi Menuhin cuando en 1994 estuvo en bs as escuchando la camerata Lysy Gstaad, aqui su version es hermosa volveria a grabarla

[armonici]

Menuhin is the best, what can I say...

Cesar Frank composed this sonata as a wedding gift to Eugene Ysaye, who played it for the first time the day he got married!

[Misswanda1]

Wunderbar - einfach ein Genuss für die Ohren.

[geasparjons]

In fairness, Hepzibah is the real winner here.

[GeorgeMaxwellDuPre]

She is PHENOMENAL....................

[geasparjons]

Absolutely. Though, I seem to remember reading somewhere that Yehudi was convinced that their sister, Yaltah, was the most talented of the group.

[milkamilka3]

very very lovely

[ipmoic]

Hepzibah was a terrific talent and a lovely woman. She brings out lightness and space in this rather turgid score. (although I adore it!) How moving to see and hear them.

[ilovescarlatti]

My God What a music!!!!! i love it................I like both, Ephzibach Menhuin is super ... Yehudi super too of course...

[cephalicus]

* raises an eyebrow and is thinking to himself: what the f&*( is he doing :|

[fromagesquipuent]

Non, c'est inexact, Proust lui-même l'a démenti dans une lettre. Il faut plutôt comprendre la sonate de Vinteuil comme une métaphore de la musique en général. Ceci dit, Proust connaissait la sonate de Franck, et le moins qu'on puisse dire est que celle-ci regorge de "petites phrases" en phase avec l'univers proustien.

[dompi4]

i was learning the piano part of this. it has some crazy stretches but its fun.

[violinist102]

What year is this from?

[magda345]

oh...i have fallen in love with this melody as soon as i played "Last express" on pc...

[imusiciki]

I really enjoyed playing The Last Express game ...its one of the best pc game out there :)

[daddy2foots]

Menuhin always has the most wonderful and original fingerings, position changes, and portamenti.

[yaquimike]
