Brendel plays Wanderer Fantasie pt.1

[jazzlover06]

5:20 ... haha, you filthy cheat :)

[mmbmbmbmb]

Franz Schubert & Alfred Brendel ~ the perfect symbiosis for my taste :o)

[dzeljpiano]

When I´m older I want to play this as good as him !

[hoiho96]

Das ist herrlich!!! Vielen Dank

This is indeed a good interpretation, but sometimes too mechanical. Does anybody know where one might find a recording of Leon Fleisher? I have an old tape of him playing this with all the finesse of Brendel, but with more sensitivity.

[elainebmack]

Great sound quality.

[metteholm75]

...and then there is Amir Katz....

[metteholm75]

He plays it like a storyteller! And storytelling is a major characteristic of this piece, - mmmmm... along with a few other things ;)

[itsmister2u]

he kinda looks like schubert from a distants.

[59fields]

brendel really is the best when it comes to schubert and beethoven. never over-romanticized, wonderful maturity in the interpretations, but somehow gripping all the way through. i like how he makes you notice this is essentially a symphony written for piano. he forces you to notice every transition with pauses, and tempo/dynamic changes. for those who love this interpretation i urge you to check out his beethoven discography as well as schubert's impromptus.

[itsmister2u]

i am so jealous of Schubert for writing this beautiful work of art. i so wished i could have said i wrote it.

[BlaisePascalDisciple]

@TipheretV: è una vergogna che tolga le ottave. IT'S A SCANDAL THAT HE AT 5:17 AVOIDS TO PLAY THE OCTAVES.....YEAH, THEY ARE VERY DIFFUCULT TO PLAY, I KNOW.....

[TipheretV]

@BlaisePascalDisciple so che sono difficili da suonare. Ma se non riesce non dovrebbe modificare il passaggio ma cambiare pezzo:-)

[ilwmb]

@BlaisePascalDisciple can u post a link of a version in which they are played? because lang lang plays them like brendel and to me it looks and sounds like real octaves! correct me if im wrong.

A pesar de todos los comentarios odiosos y subjetivos que algunos le hacen a este video, para mi esta ES LA MAS SINCERA, INTELIGENTE Y HERMOSA version de esta gran obra. He dicho.

[mauson1963]

@200715209 COMPLETAMENTE DE ACUERDO! Me encanta la actitud humilde de Brendel hacia la obra misma, parce como se viviese intensamente el mundo interior de Schubert. Esta versión, me la miro muy a menudo y espero que no la quiten nunca! Gracias!

[TipheretV]

A 5:17 toglie le ottave -.-' così è facile e soprattutto filologicamente scorretto -.-

[gabpant]

@TipheretV 1-eccoli loro, i filologi, i difensori della purezza e della sacralità dello spartito.

è triste che i vostri occhietti miopi e le vostre orecchie attente si rizzino di fronte ad una semplificazione,

o ad uno stravolgimento, pur minimo, dello spartito.

Ed eccovi pronti ad indicare il preciso secondo in cui il pianista ha commesso "un imperdonabile, inaccettabile errore", una mossa "filologicamente scorretta", ecc..

Bene.Vorrei lasciarvi notare, però, che di "semplificazioni"

[gabpant]

@TipheretV 2-i grandi pianisti ne fanno largo uso.

Cortot ,ad esempio, nelle sue revisioni, propone numerose alternative di un qualche passaggio complesso, alternative che egli stesso ammette,con grande umiltà, di aver utilizzato. Brendel, pianista eccellente, nonchè rinomato e raffinatissimo interprete di Schubert, utilizza un piccolo arteficio che serve a dare fluidità ad un passaggio ostico(lo ho affrontato, quindi posso dirlo con certezza!), e che richiede una agilità con le ottave....

[gabpant]

@TipheretV 3-..che non è da tutti.

Tuttavia questa scelta non intacca minimamente la bellezza di questa interpretazione, che resta, comunque, elegantissima ed esemplare.

Bisogna fare attenzione nel lanciare giudizi frettolosi.

[Discerninator]

I really like this performance learned much from it, as I use to play it... and heard Brendel's recordings of it, always like it, always exciting.... From 4:40 are a treat of chordal work and tossing of the right hand leaping repeated chords .....the end of first movement, interesting left hand cdefg non octave 16th's, but still very effective as he plays them ... if any of you have ever played it, this piece will test your technique pretty good

[FABrendel]

Oh man thank you veeery much for uploading this! I just discovered it! The best interpretation, for sure.

[chrish12345]

it sounds underplayed, for example the opening chords are just lame, in my opinion

[Discerninator]

so apparently, when you heard the opening not to your liking you dismissed all of the other noteworty aspects .....yeah, your credible ...... incredible maybe , but not credible

[chrish12345]

i haven't heard the rest yet, quite frankly the lame opening put me off

[herodot2]

Well it's a lyrical, not a show-off piece.

[berlinzerberus]

I. sviatoslav richter

II. julius katchen

III. Jewgeni kissin

[although the quality of tone is not so well]

[rva25]

@berlinzerberus 100%

[200715209]

Hi, Could you explain yourself please berlinzerberus?. Which interpretation of Schuberts Wanderer Fantasy do you is well playes? Vielen Dank!

[berlinzerberus]

oh no,not that!

that´s really not well played.

in his mature years he played schubert much better.

he looks like a stork! hehe

[The55555SSSSS]

@berlinzerberus

You are absolutely wrong!

THIS IS THE BEST RECORDING OF THIS PIECE EVER!

[berlinzerberus]

...according to what you said !!!

[The55555SSSSS]

@berlinzerberus

Well Richter does a fantastic job playing it but Brendel's is really colorful .

Isn't it? :)

[rva25]

@The55555SSSSS Absolutely not. Richter and only Richter!

[lizoonet]
