je ne suis pas surpris qu un etre aussi intelligent ait pu produire une oeuvre aussi géniale et imaginative,qui mêle la poesie,la fièvre au chaos et au merveilleux.Pas une seconde d ennui,un metissage inedit et imprévisible .Cette œuvre est contemporaine du monde du silence de Malle.

God, he is so beautiful.

This is the epitome of French elegance: NOT rapid-fire fingers displaying technical prowess, but a true shaping of the entire work. Few contemporary pianists can grasp this concept. They think b/c the title is “Toccata” they have to play as fast as possible - devoid of nuance.

Dear Chloé Lefebvre, I'm a bit impressed of all the good videos about Samson François ! But I'm a bit curious as well : why so many recordings about Samson François ? Are you related to him ? This I'd like to ask you for quite a time since Samson François is a third cousin of mine.. He was born in Germany, although he lately grew up in France and so became French, but his mother was a Luthringshauser, and she was a sister of my great-grandfather.

Rare footage of Sanson François！

Courbe mélodique Ces deux musiciens ont trouvé la courbe mélodique. Cette courbe mélodique qui a fait le grand succès de Samson François 1924 1970 . Samson François nous l’explique très pendant une interview télévisée visible aujourd’hui sur vidéo récente. Pour notre âme Pour nourrir notre âme ce sont les parfums des fleurs ou autres … et la courbe mélodique dans les interprétations musicales de Chopin et les autres.

Bravo! ❤

I wonder if this man saw himself as a musician or a film star

Thiis has to be the composer's recording, with Georges Tzipine conducting, surely...

It's great to have these films available, that decades ago were just tantalizing legends mentioned here and there in print by pianophiles. As one channel has said, you would have to fly to Paris, and set up an appointment with library staff to have this screened for you to see it.

Happy 100th birthday Samson Francois!

I am an avid collector of all his records and that for good reason, he is really exceptional and amazing.

Marguerite Long lauded the unruly pupil she came to blows with by claiming “Samson Francois IS Chopin!” Others find him incomparable in Debussy and Ravel. But for me, everything Samson played reveals his affinity for Schumann, and nowhere is this more evident than in these winged, witty, aphoristic pieces that smack of 1830s jazz.

Thanks but this would not have pleased Josef Hofmann, who taught that a performance must establish a basic pulse. Here both Samson and Giulini are pulling taffy.

What a wonderful musician and pianist

Une époque complètement disparue, dans laquelle la grandeur avait encore cours

qui peut nous faire une liste des pièces jouées? Merci.

On dirait Laure Adler en 1942 !

Sanson François et Ravel, un Must 👍🙏

Beautiful!

Merci beaucoup Samson Francois est au dessus du.lot. C est un.miracle de la nature

Une merveille

He is not a pianist, he is a magician of sound. The audience is all under his spell, falling into a trance-like state of ecstasy. There are many pianists in the world, but only Sanson-François is a true genius.

Bravo

Merci pour cet enregistrement je suis sous le charme. Samson Francois est de loin mon pianiste préféré

J’espère qu’il l’avait ken pour la postérité 🙏

Une merveille!!!

Fascinating composition. Very much enjoyed listening. Thanks much.

Amazing tempo choice, so much more profound, great!

On entend vraiment bien

There are many mistouches, but the poetry is not lost. According to Clara, the final movement is too fast.

The piano is in a bad state and Prokofiev's sonata is finished halfway, but it is a recording that clearly shows that he is an outstanding expressive artist.

what is the piece that starts at 8:16? thanks!

never heard of this version. A master piece played by a master!

(Claude Debussy)

When there was no TH-cam yet, the first CD I chose to listen to Ravel's music was by Samson François. I was completely fascinated. I never thought that I would be able to listen to the talk and the performance, but I am sorry that I cannot understand what he said because I do not speak French.

C'est joué a la francaise, avec beaucoup de delicatesse.

La il est vraiment grandiose.

Exceptionnel piano de Samson Francois

Nooooooooo. Prokofiev labeled Chopin is not a good joke. Funny, maybe, but illiterate and bad.

Прекрасное исполнение редкоигранмых Полонезов Шопена! Спасибо за раритет! БРАВО, Самсон Франсуа!

Bravo!

Merci beaucoup !! Demonically fantastic .

フランソワの奏でるピアノの音はわたしの魂の奥深いところにある何かを呼び覚ましてくれます。彼以上のラヴェル作品を聞いたことがありません。

Merci mais qui est le chef ?

Merci pour le document !

De quelle année datent ces images?

Merci bien !

Какой молодец!! BRAVO!!
