Saint Saens’s piano music really deserves more attention and respect and certainly more performances. Ditto for Mendelssohn’s. The pianists in general are way too obsessing over Beethoven and Rachmaninov. THEY can be done a bit less, don’t you think.
Yeah, I definitely agree. Everyone respects his Piano Concerti but they don't look past them to his wonderful solo pieces. They all have potential to be staples of repertoire if the right people play them. But we shouldn't downplay the greats like Beethoven and Rach, they're big for a reason: their music is good as well.
@@stoppelhopser1848 chopins melodic lines are good . He knows how to make a complicate music with beautiful melodies. Liszt music has technical difficulty But lack of melodies. Who is ur fav composer ? Mention 3 composers.
@@Jayantan846 @Jayantavarman Suriyan Liszt lacks of melodies? oh my god. i see you probably dont know any of his works besides the etudes, rhapsodies and operatic fantasies. i've listened to about 95% of liszt piano pieces and i can tell you that liszt combines beautiful melodic phrases and themes so much better with interesting techniques and virtuosity as well as emotion than anyone else in the romantic era. my favourite composers would be kaikhosru shapurji sorabji, franz liszt, aleksandr skrijabin, sergei bortkiewicz and maybe johann sebastian bach. dont get my wrong, chopin does have beautiful melodies and was also part of the first composer collaboration in history, the hexaméron (initiated by liszt, written by him, thalberg, czerny, chopin and others). he certainly did write beautiful and interesting pieces, but the people are too primitve to understand more complicated melodies and musical forms, which is why they tend to see chopin as the master of melodies of all time, being untrue. since you are new to classical music, i would like you to check out these pieces, to expand your knowledge: 6 Consolations, Liebesträume, Schwanengesänge, all the Années de pèlerinage, 2 Legendes, Widmung (Schubert/Liszt), Der nächtliche Zug, Glanes de Woronice, Stabat mater (one of my absolute favourite pieces of all time), sonata in b minor (also one of them), episode de la vie d'un artiste, ballade no.2, etc., etc.
this liszt would probably go on for eternity so i stop at this point. i think mentioning beautiful sorabji melodies would be of no good, since you are not going to understand his music yet. scriabin wrote the fantasia in b minor, sonatas nos. 1-10, two poems, verse la flamme, etc. . all of these pieces are (imo) superior to chopins melodies, technique and the overall interestingness and listening expierience.
BRAVO! THIS INTERPRETATION IS FANTASTIC
Amazing ! Saint-Saëns was so prolific at his time…
Wow, it's really a beautiful and very professional recording!👍👍 Amazing!🎼🎶🎹
An unexpected treasure.
How wonderful! New to me:

Chopin should be done less too.
I will never understand why the solo pieces of Saint Saëns are being neglected
It has no depth and intensity like Chopin.
@@Jayantan846 chopin is overrated imo.

But lack of melodies.

This is beautiful, One love!💙💙💙💙🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
This is a masterpiece but so difficult to get the "knack" to play it correctly and steadily !
This sounds like tarantella and saltarello rhythm.
👏👏👏
What is the sound on all of the Saint Saens piano recordings on youtube so terrible? They all sound like the piano is inside a tin can.
WAY too much pedal in this performance. The score indicates NON LEGATO
Mediocre
