This masterpiece is the lullaby of mankind , and the cradle gently cradled by genius Pikulski with incomparable skill and exquisite technique . From Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵
I have commented on Mr. Pickuslki’s masterly rendition of this piece before , but on viewing it again I cannot but notice in his technique he plays as if each finger has its own designated journey - a wonder to watch as he makes the journey step by step to a wonderful destination.
Try to find Maria Grinberg playing Bethoven's Moonlight, Pathetique sonatas and Apassionata... very profound interpretation and sound. She was one of the greatest pianists of 20th century..
Usually, i meditate in silence, yet sometimes i have music in the background and this recording of Schubert’s Standchen by Mr Pikulski is one of the few i set on a loop for about 20 to 30 minutes and see where the meditation takes me. The multiple melodies are so well expressed that at times it seems as though this is being rendered by two concert pianists in duet, with each perfectly playing their parts. The effect is so appropriate to this composition as it calls to mind a romantic conversation between soulmates. Ps. Also, the use of pedal is so clean, which is difficult for this particular piece as it is rarely done so well.
Monika...totally agree, best interpretation, and have heard them all.. You hear the soul of him playing, not only the sound of the piano...beautiful transcription of Liszt who greatly admired Schubert..
I sincerely do NOT like the "little addition" at the end. I feel that a performer should stick as close as possible as to how the. composer wrote it. The composer wrote it his or her way, and exactly the way they wanted it to be preformed. The performer should honor and respect the creativity of the composer, and not add his "flourish." As far as how he played composers composition, he did a very good job, and a remarkably beautiful rendition. It is just that he "ruined" the performance by his "little addition." Now don't start sending me hate mail about my opinion...just write out your own opinion. I judge things my way. You judge things your way.
The Cadenza he played is the one Liszt himself used to play, when performing the piece. It’s notated in the Bärenreiter edition of the work (which is written in the description). So it’s not the performers own "little flourish" so to speak, but an addition that references the composers own way playing the piece. I do agree with the very core of what you wrote, as I myself prefer the piece without the Candenza, but I wouldn’t discredit the performer with the argument that he himself, strayed from the composer’s intention and wanted to add his own "little flourish", because that is simply untrue - It’s the composer’s, in my opinion rather distasteful, little cadenza. But this just goes to show that the composer wouldn’t always play his own works as written. As is undeniably the case with the likes of Rachmaninoff, Scriabin and many other composers whom we have recordings of, where they completely disregard their own writing. And that’s just composers of the top of my head that you yourself can go and listen to play their works not as written. We know for a fact, if you are to believe the countless letters and other written sources from people that met all these great composers from the era before recording, that composers wouldn’t follow their own score so strictly and would intend things not so clearly conveyed by the text, which we just know to be true from accounts of people listening to the composer play. It’s also true that some composers were very strict when people would perform their works and that everything was to be played exactly as written - Ravel for instance. But since this is a piece written by Liszt, or at least this version for solo piano, I wouldn’t be so critical of the addition of Liszt’s cadenza. Composers didn’t always write their scores exactly the way they wanted it to be performed. I see I have been quite repetitive in my paragraph, but a can’t be bothered to compress it down so something more specific and concise. And I believe you get what I’m trying to say anyway. Have a nice day :)
I yearn to listen to this performace over and over. So moving. Simply GORGEOUS!
