Brilliant as usual. I grew up in Hungary and this transports me back to my childhood. He captures the singing character of these pieces perfectly. He "orchestrates" too, using the piano. If you ever listen to his Beethoven sonata lecture recitals you'll know exactly what I mean by this. In the last piece, for example, you can almost hear a folk band playing along.
I bought in Vienna this score (Henle Edition) But i think the score‘s number is difference. 🤔🤔 Can you answer to me, which of score is ? My score Titel is Bela Bartok- Für Kinder ( I Band)
Intonation is relative on many levels. For one, these are little songs are based on folk tunes where singers don’t sing in tune. Also, piano tuning is an individual taste to the artist when you play at this level. And of course tuning is relative to time periods and other musical factors. Don’t worry so much about the tuning as much as the musical intent and interpretation. The artistry here is wonderful regardless of your views or perspectives on tuning.
Genial Schiff! Prefer this version over Kocsis'. Maybe it's a "blasphemy", especially in Liszt Academy Budapest, but people, especially young pianists, please check out Sir Schiff's other videos here about Bartok!
Technically, the British knighthood address is “Sir [given name]”. Like the Italian/Spanish “Don”, which yields Don Giovanni or Don Carlo. So he is “Sir Andras.” When he becomes a life peer, then you can use “Lord Schiff”.
@@handekmessiah1112 Because Schiff was not much respected back in the old times, he kind of «escaped» the country. Not if Kocsis was not genial, but Schiff is also brilliant playing Bartok.
@@gabornagy3888 I'm not keen on nationalism myself. And to be fair, with his outlooks on things -not just music and with how many languages Schiff speaks, he seems very cosmopolitan to me. Doesn't seem like he belongs to any nationality. A great, great musician nonetheless.

Thank you. A delight. His love and enjoyment of Bartok transmit themselves to us.
What a wonderful discovery.!
Im a piano beginner adult and thanks to Sir Schiff i plan to spend next year on Bartok children books (and kabalevsky).
Sir Andras. (Sorry.)
good choices. i’ve treasured these pieces for many years.
Very bad composer. Nothing sounds good or fun.
Low-brows should hold back on comments!
Do you even think "good" and "fun" are fixed concepts? Amazing.
Какой Вы глупый и грубый человек!!
Или потешаетесь??
Жалею Вас!
Вы несчастны,
по-видимому.
Впрочем, Вам всё ни почём!!
As a beginner, videos like this really go to show the importance of staying mentally/physically relaxed at the piano. He's just chilling
His TIME to return to "mother tongue "... Great Master--MUSICIAN, THANKS SO MUCH!

Merveilleux. Quel phrasé !
Как же это чудесно!!
Как отражение деревца, кустика в воде чистого ручья (родника).
Музыка, обращённая
к Душе ребенка!!
Изумительно!!!
Intimate and precious. Thanks. Plus a kinship with Satie that never occurred to me before.
What's disturbing is that there is very few anything of this quality produced for children today.
Fantástica interpretación de estas joyas musicales. Gracias

Is the piano intentionally out of tune?
James Cunico really! Thank you very much for making me realize.
No, it's definitely out of tune...strange!

Yes, I think Bach reminded us years ago that “equal tempered” means slightly out of tune, but we will get used to it. 😂
@James Cunico listen to the chord at 4:21
Immenso Schiff
bravo! maestoro

Why is it a blashphemy in Liszt Academy Budapest?? He's a musical treasure.
