  • Take a minute and listen to the German-Russian pianist Olga Scheps, playing one of the famous Nocturnes of Frédéric Chopin.
    "To me, music is an extension of my expressivity, the amplification of my language. The score is predetermined, but I am the interpreter. It is like acting -- like the work of an actress who follows a script." (Olga Scheps)

    Wow. It seems she hired Spiderman to do the camera work.
    In all seriousness, this is a world-class interpretation. The sound she coaxes from the piano demonstrates that she's clearly in possession of a great ear.

    Chopin es mi compositor favorito desde la infancia. He escuchado muchos artistas de todos los tiempos, interpretando este nocturno, en particular, y nadie lo interpreta como Olga Scheps: los matices, el sentimiento que pone, la intensidad, velocidad, tiempos, etc., todo en conjunto hace que sea una perfecta interpretación. ¡Es, sin duda, su pieza musical! Gracias Olga.
    Te admiro y sigo en tus redes. Sigue grabando y anímate a venir a Lima, Perú. Estaré en primera fila. Sabemos apreciar la buena música y a los buenos artistas también en Latinoamérica. Necesitamos alimentar el alma con esta bella música! He adquirido tus álbumes en línea. Son mis favoritos

    I never thought I'd find an interpretation of this extremely delicate work which totally satisfied me, but now I have. Not ever having heard O.S. before (consciously, at least), I was pleased to see how she infused this nocturne with just the right amount of drama and played it with wonderful attention to phrasing. Mark my words: She'll be the next Sokolov. I'm looking forward to hearing her live!

    I'm amazed by this pianist's approach to Chopin . This is so absolutely feeling and it speaks in every note and phrase . even this iano I dont like here but which too sounds like the old erards and tinny pleyels .I wonder also too if th music doesn't sound better in this smaller venue than in the large concert hall required ways one must play to be comprehended in a large hall. These Nocturnes are perhaps better serbed this way . Pires and Arrau are unforgettable in these Nocturnes .I need to go back and hear Rubinstein and Freidman again !

    Her interpretation with this very beautiful Nocturne was so brilliant and way beyond what one could ever imagine. Way better than any other famous pianists and synthesia. Although that one mistake from 4:54-4:55 just made me not to download her playing in my phone for mp3 to be saved. Other than that, her interpretation again, to me, is simply perfect.

      @marisolurrutia 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      We´re humans, not robots. Interpretation and sensibility is what makes music music. There's plenty of pianists who won't miss a single note but that's worthless because those many play without that feeling Olga simply has in every note.

FYI, there's still a pianist out there who is a "HUMAN".. and not a ROBOT, BUT plays this song with full of Emotions, and sensibility or whatever you call it, BUT with NO wrong note... u know.. hahaha. Chopin actually wrote the piece and he didn't include that wrong note😂 and he probably played this song with full of Emotions as well as.. no wrong note . He's human by the way😂 yeah, Olga isn't chopin right?..😂I would appreciate if Olga would play this again, but WITHOUT .. u know.. that note🤣 And AGAIN, I still like her style of playing, her interpretation, I mean. Not being rushed and she's feeling every note she press on that wonderful piano.

      @@miguelcardenas6468 you clearly didn't get what I said which is fine, I don't really care. This was not a piano competition, she plays beautiful, that's it, you're just pointing out that wrong note like it destroyed the whole interpretation. By the way, believe me, even Chopin missed some notes sometimes, because actually many pieces by great composers were by then improvised. Even Arthur Rubinstein has a great video talking about what I'm trying to explain if you're in the mood, go check it out.

    terrible microphone placement. Makes the piano sound like the hammers are rocks. Too brittle. Such a good performance, a shame that the A/V is not up to par.

    • @fingerhorn4
      @fingerhorn4 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Agree. The sound engineer should be shot, but of course not literally. Many sound engineers have zero concept of ambience. Everything has to be miked within four millimeters, for some ridiculous reason. The price paid for technical obsession over aesthetics.Of course the sound is also brutally compressed which ruins any natural dynamic variation.

    • @j.davidtaylor2565
      @j.davidtaylor2565 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Keep in mind that if you look at the decal, this is an older Steinway that is smaller and it's being played in a smaller venue. If you are expecting this to sound like a Steinway D in a concert hall, prepare for disappointment. This sounds just like my Steinway or even my old Kawai would sound in my living room (which is a good sound, but not the same as a larger piano and venue). Just my $0.02 as a piano tuner who has tuned and owned many different pianos.

      David, I agree. Not a lively environment, with carpet and padded armchairs! I think the audio tech did pretty well - I wouldn’t call the sound brittle at all, I find it quite mellow, and the hammer noise is hardly there. (Retired audio tech, 40 plus years with studio, radio, tv and live)

      It's difficult understood what is the balance from real recording and compression of the media (YT limitation). Where are the microphones and what type ? I didn't see any mics. Did use PZM on floor under the piano?
      Audio engineers are restricted by filmmaker avoid to view the microphones and its stands.
      Many people prefer to view the interpreters and camera ability than quality of sound and Music😢

      Carl Hopkinson ... “She is the most photogenic of players: young, pretty, bare-footed;
      and, with her long dark hair and exquisite strapless dress of dazzling
      white, not only seemed to imply that sexuality itself can make you a
      profound musician, but was a perfect visual complement to the sleek
      monochrome of a concert grand... [but] there’s more to her than meets
      the eye.”
      The male reader is clearly expected to get a stiffie trying to imagine
      what that might be. To help his imagination along, the piece is
      accompanied by a photo of the young lady in question reclining on her
      instrument in a pre-coital position with an unmistakable ‘come and get
      it’ expression on her face. The ‘monochrome’ piano is actually
      bright-red, a colour usually found not in concert halls but in dens of
      iniquity.
      Nowhere does the review mention the fact obvious to anyone with any
      taste for musical performance: the girl is so bad that she should indeed
      be playing in a brothel, rather than on the concert platform.
      Can you, in the wildest flight of fancy, imagine a reviewer talking in
      such terms about sublime women artists of the past, such as Myra Hess,
      Maria Yudina, Maria Grinberg, Clara Haskil, Marcelle Meyer, Marguerite
      Long, Kathleen Ferrier? Can you see any of them allowing themselves to
      be photographed in the style of “lads’ mags”?
      I can’t, which raises the inevitable question: what exactly has changed
      in the last say 70 years? The short answer is, just about everything.
      Concert organisers and impresarios, who used to be in the business
      because they loved music first and wanted to make a living second, now
      care about nothing but money. Critics, who used to have discernment and
      taste, now have nothing but greed and lust for popularity. The public…
      well, don’t get me started on that.
      The circle is vicious: because tasteless ignoramuses use every available
      medium to build up musical nonentities, nonentities is all we get. And
      because the musical nonentities have no artistic qualities to write
      about, the writing nonentities have to concentrate on the more jutting
      attractions, using a vocabulary typically found in “lads’ mags”.
      The adage “sex sells” used to be applied first to B-movies, then to
      B-novels, and now to real music. From “sex sells” it’s but a short
      distance to “only sex sells”. This distance has already been travelled -
      and we are all being sold short. ALEXANDER BOOT Author, critic,

      i encourage you to listen to her interpretation of the gnossiennes of satie. i encourage you to find someone who can play them better than she can. i have not been able to. when i first saw an album cover of hers i thought as you, untill i listened to other people playing satie. she is the only person i have found who can actually feel satie. also, this video sounds like shit because that steinway is way out of tune, and they did a bad recording. stupid shitty sound engineers. i agree, she does not feel chopin. but really, listen to her satie album, and you will change your mind

      I think your wrong, like this performance isn't the best, but also not the worst, and I love teh way she played Rachmaninov Prelude op. 23 No 5, I think it's the best recording of the piece, from the slow middle passage, to the thick, juisy and energetic theme, with great pedal juse, super dynamics and a feeling of what Rachs sounds like. But I agree with you, she can't interpret Chopin, her 1st Ballade is also to emotionless and fast, in my opinion

      Lieber Rolf! Zum Ausklang des Tages:
      Olga Scheps - ein typisches Produkt von PR- und GLAMOUR- Industrie. SPIEGEL ONLINE UNISPIEGEL schreibt in einem Artikel "Karriere in der Klassik: Primadonna am Piano":
      Finanzielle Probleme kennt Olga Scheps schon lange nicht mehr, was auch daran liegt, dass sie viel Werbung macht. Ein Autohersteller spannt sie vor den Karren, eine Schweizer Schmuckmanufaktur lässt sie Dinge sagen wie: "In diese Uhr habe ich mich gleich verliebt. Selbst am Flügel stört sie mich nicht."
      Die Liaison aus Klassik und Kommerz ruft Kritiker auf den Plan. Eine Konzertkarriere sei heutzutage nur noch möglich, wenn man sich den Strategien der Vermarkter beuge - und wenn man schön sei, lautet der gängige Vorwurf. Tatsächlich ist in den Klassikregalen der Plattenläden mittlerweile auffällig viel nackte Haut zu sehen. Als die chinesische Pianistin Yuja Wang in Los Angeles im orangefarbenen Minikleid musizierte, schrieb ein Kritiker: "Noch ein paar Zentimeter knapper, und das Konzert hätte nicht mehr jugendfrei sein dürfen." Ein Kommentar zu Lola Astanovas TH-cam-Auftritt im kurzen Lederrock lautet: "Exzellente Interpretation. Aber ich bin nicht sicher, ob das der einzige Grund ist, warum ich das Video heute zum hundertsten Mal spiele. ..."
