Love this one. As beautiful as the simple, Raphaelian pianist of the 1970s was, his best work from the late 80s and early 90s is astounding in a whole other way. Here is the raconteur, and the deep, complex, imaginative musician. Gosh, I know he had retired, but it's so sad to see him go.
This is a good performance; he has fun with it. Passes my added octave in the left hand test at 4:41 plus he adds others (some extreme) along the way. Third movement had Chopinesque moments of clarity, which was a treat.
Выдающийся пианист - Мастер !!! утонченная и многоплановая перспективность палитры звучания, неординарная трактовка и создание неповторимых интерпретаций ...!!! Великого мастера не стало 17 апреля 2022 года... Он создавал Красоту на Земле, пусть же и на Небесах , Красота пребудет с ним!!!
Такой Шуман!!!Пианисту дано было ощутить и выразить то,что всю жизнь мучило композитора:стремление поведать о безднах и высотах души человеческой,о размахе маятника эмоциональных состояний.Потрясающе!
Meravigliosa interpretazione di una composizione che può definirsi il manifesto del Romanticismo musicale. Penso che in questo brano il Maestro Radu Lupu abbia toccato nella sua essenza più profonda l'animo di Robert Schumann, la sua visione del mondo e della vita.
A un extrême, écoutez ses concertos de piano, surtout Mozart (ls deux en mineur notamment, pour lesquels il est si difficile de trouver le ton juste sans les tirer vers le romantisme, ce qui est une faute grave). A un autre extrême, écoutez ses 3 intermezzi de Brahms op. 117, tellement massacrés par des mains amateurs y compris les miennes. Il y surpasse même Katchen. Toujours chez Brahms, i a mis au goût du jour ses sonates de jeunesse, que l'on ne joue, n'enregistre, n'écoute jamais et qui avaient enthousiasmé Schumann et causé une indéfectible et hélas trop courte amitié.
Thank you for the post. Christian Johanson really has touched the truth about how the playing changes, becoming even more wonderful as an artist grows older. He was not that old, and retired when he knew he was not well; perhaps these few years were gave him an undisturbed communion with music. The photo is splendid.
highest emotional tension here by Radu Lupu!.... and than the amazing 3.mouvment...a real Love-Duett! Fantastic!! for me ...with Sokolow the very best interpretation of Fantasie op.17! Thank you for sharing! its a real gift🙏🏽
I think this is the greatest piece of music in any genre, and I have a recording of my dad performing it when I was 2 months old so I was listening to it from the start.
@@wagneric222 what a wonderful story... post your dad's performance if you can... an audio file nuts can help you get it transferred to a modern format...
Я слышала Фантазию в исполнении Софроницкого, Башкирова и думала, что меня уже никто не потрясет. Это исполнение - настоящее откровение. Больше всего поразила свобода, окрыленность, искренность, личное прочтение - восторг! 100 раз слушала, а сейчас - как первый. Спасибо, adgo.
Как-то не очень меня увлекал Шуман, но вот уже который раз переслушиваю это исполнение Раду Лупу!.. Вроде никаких красот, никаких потрясений, но слушаешь каждый звук и душа потрясена. Великий пианист!
Thank you! we definitely need to hear his live recordings, as his repertoire was much wider than one would think if referring only to his studio recordings. And the decca studio sound is often very far from how Lupu was really sounding (never heard something like what's happening at the end of the 4th minute).
He playsthat trill and higherline with a sound You just can't believe . 2lines in one hand and its incredible the textures here are unbelievable.Recorded so well .He could doit all .Noone does the climax at 4minute like this it sounds like Hofmann's lion burst into room !
4:17 I am very happy and pleased that M. Lupu was able to produce such fantastic climaxes as this one. I thought that he was equally shabby and sterile than quite all his brothers pianists.
@@davidgoulden5956 May I ask you what you want to say here ? Is my english not good enough for you ? If this is the case, write now your answers in German. The language of Robert Schumann.
@@davidgoulden5956 Ok. I'll try again with more simple words, and excuse me to be sometimes incomprehensible, due to my very poor english. "I was thinking that the interpretation of M. Lupu was weak and sterile, like the other pianists of his time."
@@bernhardluecke6437 There you go :) By the way, if you really want sudden, emotive attack-as you say-Sofronitsky 1959 is for you. It's my favourite one - uniquely expresses the wild surges of love. Igor Zhukov is amazing too.
Wonderful inspiration ..... (I cannot make it better, for the small parts I am able to play) Only Horowitz and KATE LIU are bringing "more" ... in other spaces ...
4:17 AT LAST !!!! At last a REAL piano moment ... and a very great one ......... passion and fury .... this should be always the case, by ALL pianists. But, sadly, today, we are very far from this goal. Boring interprets, everywhere, always so "perfect" , but boring as hell, so far from the real inspiration by the composer. Boring world.
because the experience is in listening. You don't go to hear a great pianist in recital and sit reading a score, do you? If you wish to follow the score, just open it)
@@ADGO Other serious music channels show the score for such performances because they know how valuable it is and how much viewers appreciate it. What a pity you don't.
That's their choice, though you're wrong in fact because channels that show the score usually don't focus on rare live performances. I prefer photos of the pianist and the experience to be immersive like in an actual recital. As I said before, why don't you just put in the small effort required to open the score for yourself rather than whining about it to me and acting like it's a terrible loss?
If you want a score posted, do your own website. I have no problem looking at this great pianist, while I listen to his sublime interpretation. Thank you for sharing this!
An awesome vision of this work. In such a work, the digital performance is not so important. The key issue is the VISION of he artist. The, it is the business of the pianist in the "academic" sense to render it. The genu ius is not there. here, we have THE VISION. Lupu is within Schumann's heart and soul. Indeed. 🖤🤎💜💙💚💛🧡❤❤❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤

Luckily I heard him live 4 times, last memory was in Helsinki, Beethoven#3, 2nd mvt I will never forget. The sheer beauty of sound and honesty,
❤❤❤❤❤
Was fortunate to hear him once. Unforgettable. A no nonsense performer. The antithesis of, say, Lang Lang
Yes!
A great pianist has left us, RIP :(
WOW... one of the BEST Schumann Fantasie's I've ever heard...
This is a good performance; he has fun with it. Passes my added octave in the left hand test at 4:41 plus he adds others (some extreme) along the way. Third movement had Chopinesque moments of clarity, which was a treat.
@@wagneric222 all GREAT stuff... I've never played it before... BUT... I'm working on it now..!
What could you mean by "having fun with" a work such as this? If it were something like Shostakovich's "Polka", I could see it. But HERE?
Started his career with the same Teacher like Dinu Lipatti. Didn't knew he died 2022...im sad now.. RIP Radu, you did well.

A magnificent musician has left us. In his interpretation music turns into magic. RIP
Now, at last, I understand. RIP, great, good, kind Maestro Radu Lupu.
Cosmic, all embracing. Stunning.
Encore un géant dont je prends vraiment la mesure à sa disparition. Que de la musique et rien d'autre, magistral

Painful music of the Schumann's heart.
also... in my humble opinion... this is TRULY one of the GREATEST (IF NOT THEE GREATEST) piano works ever written... (romantic area wise..)

Could you rewrite that in English?

May I ask you what you want to say here ?
Is my english not good enough for you ?

The language of Robert Schumann.

Благодарю !!!
The silence at the end says it all.
This is a Beautiful Music 🎹🎶👏
Magistral!!!
Dentre os poucos pianistas que têm algo a dizer...
why are you
Can't you leave me?
This heavy, occupied
Me sitting like a desk, why?
We were boys and girls full of dreams
Listening to Schumann's Troymerai
I crossed the stepping stone
A keyboard that has been closed for years and has accumulated dust,
you are
quietly starting to wake up
that someday I will surely open you again,
talk to yourself
I understand now
It is not smooth because it has never been tuned, but
sounds warm
Apple blossoms are in full bloom
You play me with a new technique,
The afterglow of that day doesn't go away
The first person who opened me as furniture
that day… …
...
Great interpreter of Schumann's masterpiece. Amazing!
❤❤❤❤

It's from a radio broadcast.

Ummmm... How? Howw do you even play something like that... Wow 🥺😳 bravos!!

Wonderful..! Sometimes though I prefer a bit less lyricism and more sudden attack like w Martha. Radu has it but always develops towards it.
Oh but then the voices at 5:50!!! Amazing!
