  • This perfemance along with horowitz's are the best here on YouTube. Bravo!!

  • Horowitz like

  • Frederic chiu, que dulzura de interpretacion, ternura,paz, pasion, delicadeza,mucha emocion en cinco minutos. Gracia. Bravo-

  • I was put off this guys playing whenI saw him do the Schulz -evler waltz the tone was hard and who would dare play a Lhevinne specialty if he did not have wondrous tone color. Here he is doing a Horowitz color and phrase specialty. I wish I had da training to know what is required. He plays beautifully here and his Prok # 6 is a marvelous logical statement. I so want to be carried away with his playing. Here he is . Pluperfect tone and phrasing. He really should play Faure

  • 10 are sleeping 9 are playing 1 is reading this put this on 4 video comments within 15 mins,if u do, sum one u love will surprise u sum how!! If u don't , u will lose ur love.!!

  • The chromatic scale near the end is pathetic.

  • The use of estaccato not original, Horowitz did that for many many years. I like that. The difference is that Horowitz played more with the tempo. He qualifies the piece, brings more movement, more strength at the beginning, decadence, melancholy, and again a serious force, a convición not a dream, and still in love and hurt and we still keep talking. All this is very difficult to achieve and Chiu fails.

    Anyway, it's a good performance, really good

  • one cannot hope to compare Horowitz with Chiu.S

  • @100BucksMovies: Horowitz is a narcissist who treats the piano no more than a toy. Not much soul in his playing; I'm often disappointed.

  • The tempo feels perfect. I can't actually decide if I like the pronounced staccato, but I certainly don't dislike it. Beautiful voicing in any event, thank you for the experience!

  • I would call it a satisfying interpretation, but for me, it's the golden age interpretation of people like rubinstein that does the trick for me,Proxy-Connection: keep-alive

  • wonderful piece and player !!! bravo !!!*****

  • finee´!"!"

  • this is almost magical ! perfect ! thank you for the lovely performance !

  • Congratulations for this magnificient performance. One question, are you playing the Listz score as it was wrote?

    Thanks

  • It is Franz, not Frederic !

  • Frederic Chiu is the guy playing the piece.

  • bravo bravo

  • This celebrissim piece of piano is very often played too romantically. The effect is heavy like a cream pie. The interpretation of Chiu is great: sobre, clear, simple: the only way to get to perfection. Only the end is less convincing.

  • very nice, but the chair and leaning against the back is freaking me out. My piano teacher would have beat me with her sheet music.

  • Very sweet and singing!!! Wonderful!

  • This is very elegant. The singing tone and the way you differ the voices makes me imagine the human voices. But what's really inspiring is the smile they have on their faces as they sing. You do a great service to the art of transcriptions. People even have you confused with FL ;)

  • Lovely performance of this heavenly Schubert-Liszt transcription. I particularly liked the way you delineated the different voices, suffusing them with their own colour.

  • lol this IS Liszt fyi!!! The transcription includes the melody moving down one octave, where the hands crossover, then the mirror melody played in two octaves. Also there are some added arpeggios and some octave voice-ings in the left hand that are not in the original, as well as the the extended scale at the end of the piece. One of my favorite Liszt transcriptions by far, he really thickened the tonality and grace of the entire work. Mad props to Schubert, Liszt, and anyone who plays it!

  • Fyi THAT it is not lizt that is Frederic Chiu and he is playing Lizsts transcription of Schuberts Stanchen ... so its a mix tape!

  • No shit sherlock.. of course it's not actually Liszt playing.

  • ^.^ I know, i make a good detective :D

  • lol is not liszt this is schubert

  • liszt arranged it for the piao i think but schubert made it.

  • i can't read ;)

    right :D

  • neither can i but i try :P

  • he played it very well... although i don't think he was playing the original version of the piece. I have an authentic copy of the sheet music for Standchen--but nevertheless he did an excellent interpretation of the piece [i do agree that Yamaha is not the best piano though. It lacks a certain richness to its sound]

  • kirej7, this is the Franz Liszt transcription, that's why it's different from the sheet music you have in your hand. Google Durand, Liszt, Schubert, Ständchen to buy a copy.

    The definitive interpretation in my humble opinion is by Horowitz.

  • ... feel the music... wonderfull

  • The most accurate and melodious rendition on YouTube of the original song.

  • i played this

  • Glorious interpretation, Yamaha not the best piano IMO.

  • I love the interpretation of this Serenade!! But the piano's timber its not my favorite! I prefer Steinway and Sons or Shrumberger, or a Beckstein, but this is an impecable interpretation!!

  • BEAUTIFUL! JUST BEAUTIFUL!!!

  • WHY are you leaning against the back of the chair???

  • Wow! You really have something like horowitz had. I really love this! Just amazing colours, control and dynamics. Also I fell in love to those delicate thing that you did there. Best version of this piece i've ever heard. I just try to do those things you did there when I play, but I just can't. I almost always play too loud or too quiet for example while playing moonlight sonata mvt 1. Wonderful job!

  • Ver well played!

  • Awesome! You have great feel!

  • It's so wonderfull, amazing.

  • Excelente interpretación.

  • la meilleure interpretation jusqu'a date .Merci Monsieur.

  • SOO amazingly beautiful. Best cover on youtube. I love Schubert!

  • Oh wow! Beautiful! I've been practicing this song for a recital, but after seeing this, I feel as if I'm butchering it haha. It's not a technically difficult piece to play, but my dynamics are all ditzy! My fingers feel so clumsy. :(

    Again, as the others have said, amazing finger control. Inspirational, thanks for posting!

  • very beautiful!!

    you have my respect^^

    keep on....

  • how can i find the partitures of that, is th music of last emperor!!!reply please if know

  • BRAVO! Excellent, i love the touch and controll that you have!

  • Bello y conmovedor haber encontrado esta Serenade de Franz Schubert que me acompaña desde muy niña en mi corazón,

    creo que la cargo instalada desde siempre en uno de mis lugares preferidos de mi interior,

    junto a recuerdos y connotaciones que más me han significado!!!

    Alguien sabe donde encontrar su letra? La recuerdo , pero no íntegra, si ven mi pedido acá, espero que me ayuden a encontrarla, es muy bella también tanto como sus acordes tan intensos para mi!!!

    Saludos.

    Teresita.

  • La latra de la cancion, es la que sigue, que he de publicar en varios comentarios, debido a su extension.

    Leise flehen meine Lieder durch die Nacht zu dir,

    In den stillen Hain hernieder Liebchen kommm zu mir.

    Flustern Schlanke Wipfel rauschen in des mondes Licht

    Des Varreters feindlich lauschen,furchte holde nicht

  • Horst die Nachtigalen schlagen,ach,sie flehen dich,

    Mit der Tone susse Klagen flehen sie fur mich.

    Sie verstehen des busen Sehenen,kennen Liebesschmerz

    Ruhren mit den silber Tone jedes weiche Herz

    Lass auch dir die Brust bewegen ,Liebchen hore mich

    Bebend harr ich dir entgegen

    Komm beglucke mich

  • excellent!

  • Excellent, beautiful and interesting though I still prefer Spooner for the magic in the echo

  • This is a very relaxing version of the beautiful Schubert Serenade. The piano has a very nice soft sound, it does not hurt the eardrums. Or, is it the playing technique that was applied? SIMPLY GREAT! My hats off to you.

  • ANOTHER EXCELLENT rendition of my favorite Schubert Serenade. Thanks for posting this.

  • unbelievable control and touch!!

  • Great, but is it right that you don't use the pedale only very little?

  • Beautiful performance.  Reminds me of a Vladimir Horozitz version. Glad to be able to see the keyboard during performance.

  • DAMN....divine performance...very well done.

  • This pianist is excelent. Congratulations. Lázaro, from Brazil.
