I saw him at Symphony Center in Chicago. His playing was genuine for the main program where he played all Schumann. His first encore was the final variation of Mozart's "Ah vous dirai-je, Maman". The second encore was Mozart's Alla Turca: Allegretto from Piano Sonata in A K.331. I've not seen improvising like this since Glenn Gould who routinely improvised works, especially those by Bach. If that was not enough, he came out to play the final movement of this work by Ravel. Flawless and colorful.
F.Say is so remarkable.Og O wish he would play in Miami. his color and atmospheremake this themost enigmatic , bewitchigand yet clear ad communicative Sonatine .Woderful!
The second movement is absolutely sublime... a real treat - and even when I'm listening in the background, I have to stop and watch him play it. I just can't have other windows on top.
I have the sheet music, from the library, to this piece before me. It's the 1913 Editions Durand printing. Would you kindly point out to me where Fazil Say deviates from the score?

I disagree, old boys don't play unmemorable and uncreative. Not with a single boring line without anything extraordinary but with rational ups and downs.
To begin with I am just a beginner at music theory/history. But, I think after this piece we should ask Say "Do you think what you just played was classical music?". I do not think he would answer "yes". But in his regular concerts he already sticks to original sheet -in a concerto it would already make no sense ignoring the original tempo. I think he understands the pieces very clearly, so he can interpret them in their original form. And, he can add his expressions influenced by modern styles.
@@berkeumutsahinturk921 Tempest genel olarak yorumlaması çok zor bir eser değil. Temaları boğacak materyaller yoğun olmadığı için çok üstün bir çaba sarf etmeden dinleyiciye ana fikri vermek mümkün. Ki Ravel'in sonatini öyle değil, bir sürü motif iç içe giriyor ve temaları öne çıkarması zorlaşıyor.
Makes me laugh how people pretends that he doesn't play it right and call it arrogance. Yes ravel wouldn't play it this way. But the music belongs to the one that plays it on the piano, this is his vision of the sonatine, it's called bzing free
Sure, the strange expressions and gestures are not the best for the sake of the performance, but he sure seems to be enjoying it. Plus it's quite amusing to watch.
The trouble with classical music at TH-cam is that there is always some guy (it's always a guy) who has been appointed by God to point out the flaws (as imagined by him) in a performance by a celebrated artist. Of course, when you click on the critic's channel, he invariably has nothing to show for his soi-disant genius. I own a copy of the score for Ravel's *Sonatine,* and I can attest to the fact that Say plays the piece precisely as Ravel wrote it. Each variation in tempo is as indicated by Ravel. I challenge all the puerile critics below to specify exactly where they imagine this performance varies from what Ravel wrote.
yeah, always hate it when this random guy out of nowhere goes: "an error at 3:whatever time".. Irritates me so much, like they can play it as good as the performer
Firelord0EX It might be OK if the critic has his own performance video of the piece that he wants to show off. That I could tolerate. But you click on the critic's channel and, without exception, no videos; maybe something about how he liked a Lorde video. That's true not just here but with all critical comments under classical videos. It's typical for some poor apple, with no talent or skill, to gain self-esteem on the cheap by deprecating the accomplishments of gifted people.
Keith Otis Edwards Okay, I also have the score. A few things I noticed in the first movement. Perhaps you can cross-check them. Bar 5 - does not observe mf at end of bar Bars 24 - 25 - does not synchronize chords but instead breaks left and right hands In the middle of the development where it is written a tempo does not observe pp marking and instead crescendos to forte Does not observe anime tempo marking in the development Does not observe only ff marking and instead plays considerably quieter then the music that goes before.

Humm, another poseur, probably Mammoth's boyfriend. Starting at 2:25 the chords are ambiguous, as one might expect, and the progression is as follows: Bdim7, Edim7, Bdim7, Edim7, leading to the climax of C-F-C. Nowhere are there straight major or minor chords. Of course, Mammoth10 originally claimed not that there were merely two or three wrong notes (which there aren't), but that Say was playing something not in the score, and was "making his own transcription of the piece."
O.k., fair enough. Unlike Mammoth 10, you know the piece. At the risk of inviting M.10 to suggest all sorts of imaginary wrong notes, I'll be honest and admit that in 5 simultaneous tones played rapidly, my ear is too poor to tell if that is an F# or not, or a B-nat. in the next measure. But I'll still give the benefit of the doubt to Say. From what I can hear, as compared to the score, he plays no wrong notes. I am able, however, discern all the rhythms and those Fazil Say nails perfectly.
Nice technique, and he plays the rhythms well! I have some minor, debatable issues...I think he's a bit too showy - instead of all the movement he could be concentrating on bringing the melody out more. Also, he ignores some important articulations. In the second movement, the end of the first theme has the two bass notes marked staccato which he plays legato AND pedals! There's a difference between interpretation and playing something incorrectly. It was written that way for a reason!
After examining the score to Ravel's "Sonatine," and after following the score as the video plays, and after repeated requests to Mammoth10 to reveal just where he thinks Say deviates from the score, I can report that Fazil Say plays each note perfectly just as Ravel wrote it, and that Mammoth 10 is just another poseur and troller looking to get some attention.
@bs2k6 je sais que je me ferais cracher avec mon français que j'apprends depuis 2 mois. ça changera bientot. mais toi tu vas continuer melanger le nationalism et la musique avec cette point de vue. je pense pas que ça va changer.
Usually i like Fazil Say a lot .. here i find him tottaly having "passed by" .. Of course it is certain that he really lives what he plays .. adn that he has a vision of this master piece ... So, to me, there stay an interesting curiosity: The probably most "anti-Ravelien" great performance i have ever heard ... LOL ...
i don't agree. there is a difference between recreating and improvising. Because those notes were marked staccato they weren't set in stone to be played that way. Here's the thing, a lot of people play from notes but add nothing of their own making music dull and boring over time because nothing changes. Maybe he didn't change much in this piece, but his version of the Turkish March is off the scale of awesomeness.

Dr. Ethan maintains that Fazil Say fails to play louder. ("does not observe mf at end of bar") At 2:16 the score calls for the music to become quiet. The renowned virtuoso Ethan says that it is instead played louder. ("does not observe pp marking and instead crescendos to forte") (At 2:18 it is supposed to become louder.) At 2:27 the score is marked *Animé* ("animated"). Professor Ethan complains that this marking is not observed and that the playing is not "animated." The first movement is supposed to reach its dynamic peak at 2:31. Ethan (the great composer) accuses that it "instead plays considerably quieter then [sic] the music that goes before." (At 2:32 it is then supposed to become softer and slower, so maybe Ethan is just slow.) Such young geniuses (or just "Ethan" under different names) have for years been disparaging this performance as "a mess," but that's all they can come up with. I think it's a fine performance, and that Ethan should instead shut up and practice his scales.

You obviously no little to nothing of this music (or have no hearing) so how can you judge others on their criticism?

Since I've scrolled all the way down to your comment, I can't see his face in the video window. And he sounds okay. Maybe not the best... but his gyrations on the bench really aren't the point.
What is amazing is that you are still talking/replying back to me! I hope, at least, all that name-calling and insults were making you feel better about yourself! Anyhow, if you decide to continue this moronic chat, by all means but I will not indulge myself any further...
what about following what the composer wrote in the score? a fortissimo when Ravel says pianissimo? - that's called arrogance. Otherwise, very impressive pianism....
I love Fazil Say's interpretation of the Ravel "Sonatine." He not only plays the music; he feels it, What wonderful pianism!
really nice and singing
lots of atmosphare
imaginative
Fazıl Say senin sayende klasik müzik dinler oldum usta. hayata bakışımı değiştirdin
@MusikalischesHaus He LIVES the music, that's what his moving around is all about. He is not posing or anything. I can only applaud such dedication.
Genuine pianist and artist, he takes liberties while scrupulously respecting the score. He has his own style and I love it
So very nice Mr Say. You admirably seek to bring out the various important musical threads
I saw him at Symphony Center in Chicago. His playing was genuine for the main program where he played all Schumann. His first encore was the final variation of Mozart's "Ah vous dirai-je, Maman". The second encore was Mozart's Alla Turca: Allegretto from Piano Sonata in A K.331. I've not seen improvising like this since Glenn Gould who routinely improvised works, especially those by Bach. If that was not enough, he came out to play the final movement of this work by Ravel. Flawless and colorful.
F.Say is so remarkable.Og O wish he would play in Miami. his color and atmospheremake this themost enigmatic , bewitchigand yet clear ad communicative Sonatine .Woderful!

Professor Snape!!!!
Stunning interpretation of Ravel. One of the best I've heard. The physical interpretation can be distracting but I really don't mind.
Extraordinary, possibly a genius..
He really makes the music come alive. This is what Ravel must have intended.
Virtuosity ! Ravel and Say. Turkish and high quality music lovers all around the Worls should be proud of them.
Superlative playing and wonderful music!
LOL! Funny man! He seems to really have enjoyed playing to that audience.
just wonderful !
I myself consider music great art where style deals a great matter. You implement your style so the piece is to your own liking, not someone else's.
Them faces, expressions, and singing: Lang Lang meets Richard Goode.
Face expressions means nothing. A performer has to play with his hands and heart not with his face.
@@yagiz885 That wasn't especially profound
So beautiful, wow.
Fazil Say est un cadeau du ciel.
love him
Looking each movement?
00:11 First Movement
03:37 Second Movement

Now, enjoy this extraordinary interpretation.

He reminds me of the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Tek kelimeyle muhtesem.Sanattan anlamayanlarin cahilce elestirilerini onemsemiyorum. O bir deha.

@Piano194 Just like singers take music already written and make it their own, so can pianists, like Fazil Say
he knows how to touch piano

woow the best ravels sonatine interpretation ive heard
Have you listened Perlemuter's interpretation? It's way better than his.
I agree.
Vaya pose del pianista.

alguien sabe??
Music
@10Aytek10 öbürleri kim...?
People don't be so freakin' nit-picky! It's annoying! JEEZ!! Just appreciate it for what it is... a very beautiful piece played by an amazing pianist!
il est fouuuuuu
He is amazing
Wow, amazing. Very nice phrasing, but I kind of thought in the 1st movement he could have brought out the melody a little bit more though.

Yea, he plays the right hand notes slightly later in some places...
@fikradas I agree, he ruins my favourite section at 4:50 by just shotgunning right through it... love his enthusiasm, but it's definitely at a cost.
wtf does jajaja mean...

Hahaha you guys funny. He is Fazil Say. He is pro. Cheapest ticket goes not less 1000$ if you can find seat. He is very famous. I guess he is turkish.
Does any one else think Terry Jones from Monty Python when they look at this guy? Great rendition BTW.
he always looks like he's drunk. genious skills though.
Yeah what a genius. he can't show up the themes well, his playing is not memorizable at all.
actually thats usually what he intends to do.
he has super bad posture, but it doesn't matter because he is an amazingly talented pianist.
