'Danse Macabre' Saint-Saëns with Harmonic Pedal - P. Barton, FEURICH piano

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ส.ค. 2024
  • With Halloween in mind, here's a track from a CD & DVD recorded for FEURICH - Vienna & La Pédale Harmonique, Paris. Album title "Virtuoso Piano Music with the Harmonic Pedal". CD includes Liszt's "La Campanella", "Gnomenreigen" + works by Prokofiev etc. DVD video production in association with Thai Television featuring GoPro 3.
    For those that kindly expressed interest in purchasing a FEURICH CD or DVD, I'll post details on my facebook music page when they are available: / paulbartonpiano Other harmonic pedal piano CDs in production include Vivaldi "The Four Seasons".
    In this video I colour highlighted the score to show which of the harmonic pedal effects is used at any given time. It is general and doesn't show pedal release etc. The graphics in this video are available from the Danse Macabre album on my facebook piano page (link above)
    The T. Riiter piano score featured in this video has numerous bars highlighted in red circles which indicate intentional omissions on my part.
    Download Ritter's transcription in the Public Domain (free) imslp.org/wiki/...
    See the "Arrangements and Transcriptions" tab. This is the first recording of Danse Macabre with the harmonic pedal.
    For an easier but still awesome arrangement of Danse Macabre see "H. Cramer" PDF (free download) available from the same link above.
    The 4th harmonic pedal only is used in this recording. This allows resonance around staccato notes, additional colours mixed with una corda, a fast action sostenuto and the sustain, when required.

    3:13 - 3:45 HOW SO BUBBLY? Seriously that's amazing. One of my favourite things I've heard ever.

    @musicomaniac62 6 ปีที่แล้ว +54

    Honestly, I wasn't amazed by the Harmonic Pedal through all your videos but that passage from 3:12 to 3:37... Being able to play triplets without the sustain pedal and not sounding dry is just amazing !
    Awesome performance !

    This was incredible. If I had only seen the score without hearing you play the piece, I would have thought it was impossible to play it with such precision, at such a speed and with so many subtle dynamics. I'm so glad you're on TH-cam!

    An absolute masterpiece of Saint-Saëns in a great transcription for piano.

    @GPoh_99 8 ปีที่แล้ว +249

    I like Ritter's version (this one) much more than Liszt's. In Liszt's, every climax is just buried under all the needless decorations. This one's just as complex, yet its point is much clearer.

    • @chrissinger24

      The Computer Dude I totally agree, it is the one time that I feel Liszt transcription was inferior

    • @christianbauer3084
      @christianbauer3084 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The Computer Dude yes totally Liszt was great but i prefer the more "original" version as well (for me it sounds much more like the original piece for orchestra)

      I still prefer the orchestra, this piece in the piano feels empty somehow.

      Indeed, I mean, decoration is not bad, but it mustn't be used to such an extent that it takes from the pleasure of music.

    • @JulianHuang36
      @JulianHuang36 4 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Interesting. After 10 years of no practice on the piano, this was the second piece I played followed by the piano arrangement of “Howl’s Moving Castle Theme.” I don’t think it’s entirely true that you need to dedicate your whole life to the piano.

    Fantastic! As a child I learned a simple version of this piece and it stayed with me. I'm now getting back to playing (in my 60's) and want to learn this version which would be a challenge. I found a simpler version that I am teaching myself. Love it!

    I was working while listening to a YT classical piano mix in the background. I had never heard this piece before, but after a couple minutes of listening I thought "This must be Paul Barton" and switched windows to check.
    Yup. He is just as distinctive as the greats a yore.

      Listening back, I'm actually pretty skeptical this is a human performance. 2:45-3:45 or so sounds very much like how a digital piano would produce some of those passages. Would explain the bug at the end of the piece.

    • @user-ch3jv5pk4o

      @user-ch3jv5pk4o 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Charlemagne bottom staff plays D-flat tremolo. This instantly makes statement “Gs in BOTH hands” untrue. And top staff is octave lover. Nothing impossible.

    • @matthewbowers9689
