    I think ugorski is one of the more underappreciated pianists out there. He really is a wizard at the keyboard.

    This is an outstanding interpretation. I heard Anatol Ugorski live about ten times and he always was phantastic. 👏💐❤

    "On one stave, for a small instrument, the man writes a whole world of the deepest thoughts and most powerful feelings. If I imagined that I could have created, even conceived the piece, I am quite certain that the excess of excitement and earth-shattering experience would have driven me out of my mind." -Brahms on the Chaconne...how true, this brings me to tears every time I hear it

    It's a pianistic tradition to write pieces for the left hand alone.
    The story goes that Brahms wrote this transcription along with other pieces (I can remember now only the presto from Bach's first violin sonata) for his platonic love, Clara Schumann, after she hurt her right hand.

    The Brahms version ist very authentic, more than the Busoni virtuoso paraphrase. Ugorski plays it as if he comes from another world. Phantastic. Every phrase is breathing. He produces a kind of silence while playing. Never heard it better even on the violin!

    this is originally a violin piece. Brahms himself wrote that the difficulty of playing this piece with the left hand gave him some of the feeling of being a violinist ... he described it in a spiritual way

    This is also the music that was featured in the 1947 horror film, The Beast with Five Fingers, about a pianist who suffers a stroke and is only able to play with his left hand. After he dies, his dismembered hand comes back to life and attempts to strangle the rest of the cast! Beautiful piece of music though. I've ordered a CD of it.

    This version of it on the piano deserves more performance. It has been completely overshadowed by the Busoni.

  • @raoultak

    Bravo to Brahms. And bravo to Ugorsky. I guess they both loved Bach. Bravo to Bach. All put together brings this wonderful peace of music. Just listen..................... don't quarrel. It's too beautiful to quarrel about. De gustibus non est disputandum.

    @GrafWolkonski that is what makes music so great an universal. Wouldnt it be boring to ALWAYS listen to what you "Expect"? It may not be the best way to play Brahms, but try to just listen to the music, and enjoy it, as if it was written by Anatol Ugorsky by himself. I think it is a marvelous interpretation

    The thumb can play melodies and the other fingers chords. It is not impossible to do this with the right hand, but takes more clever writing since the thumb is in a backwards position.

    Recently my left shoulder got dislocated so I can hardly play with my left hand for a while. Unfortunately there are hardly any right hand-only pieces. I'm now playing this piece with my right hand, but I clearly notice it was not intended as such...

  • @Sennarghal

    Also... it is not the case of Brahms, but there are composers (as Zichy) who were simply amputated and who didn't have right hand... That is why they composed pieces for left hand alone.

  • @malikrox
    @malikrox 12 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Regardless of your opinion, convention has violinists, who really own this piece, playing it even slower than M. Ugorski's.

    Clara's right hand has muscle convulsions. and Brahms composed for her with only left hand.

      And Johannes was convulsive too in the presence of Clara.

    I think that above all this consideration we should just listen to Ugorski esecution, i play the violin and i have szering and milstein version of the chaconne in my mind. I have the score also, but still, Brahms transcription played by Ugorski made me creepy.

  • @gothicrecital
    @gothicrecital 12 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    "Mr. Ugorski's tempo for a Chaconne is way too slow and the original dance tempo -present in Bach’s score- becomes unrecognizable."
    Piano arrangements are a genre of its own, and the purpose is not to make the performance as close as possible to the original. Once the piece has been arranged for piano, it becomes a piano piece with the life of its own.

    just heard it. it's not all that much better than this interpretation, to be honest. try krystian zimerman's version.

  • @ConstantineFinehouse
    @ConstantineFinehouse 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Of course you do, you just did, in fact, as you have the need and the urge to have the last word. Your advanced age definitely has taught you no wisdom. I am of the same exact background as you are, you have nothing to teach me about these matters. I would also suggest you look up the definition of the word "racist", so that you don't continue to misuse the word. But I do appreciate the good grammar of your latest installment--and kudos for commas correctly placed. Needless to say, I am waiting to be dignified with an answer, as per above. Ugorski is an eccentric, yet he is a better pianist and musician than I am...and than you are, as well.

    • @TheCookie30
      @TheCookie30 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      you are a rare a......le and a pretty mediocre pianist as well. Thank God we have different backgrounds and it shows!!

    • @ConstantineFinehouse
      @ConstantineFinehouse 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      As I said, you won't resist responding. Thus, I am this dignified with an answer....temperance is not your forte, it's your mezzo piano. And dignified by whom? An old, bold, pathetic Russian-Jewish dude who never had or will have a DG contract, or any other contract, for that matter. You are a relic of the past. People like yourself are not relevant to today's discourse.

      Wolfgang Möller If you can make Natochenny shut up, I am happy to shut up myself. This troll has to be stopped, both his bashing of Ugorski and other folks who commented on the video. Make Natochenny quiet and let Ugorski play.

    • @TheCookie30
      @TheCookie30 10 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wolfgang Möller Ganz herzlichen Dank Herr Möller. CF ist einfach krank. Man kann dass schon sehen. Besser nicht berühren. Ugorski spielt nicht mehr sowieso!! Gott sei Dank.Vielleicht zu alt schon.

    Someone, who has little understanding of baroque epoch, even less respect for Brahmsian idiom, little knowledge of what violin is an instrument and what a baroque dance is!!
    This is "Chaconne" by Ugorsky on the themes of Bach and arrangement of Brahms. And this is the only definition that it adheres to. There is nothing in it from Bach, Brahms, violin, baroque dances or time. Complete Ugorsky's anarchy!!!

    • @jbrough71
      @jbrough71 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      except, it is Brahms' transcription, not Ugorsky's. Brahms is not trying to be Bach here, nor is he trying to make the piano a violin, something it is not, it is a homage to Bach, but deeply romantic in interpretation. I see no anarchy, just respect. Bach himself (who frequently copied Vivaldi, Buxtehude, Schutz and others with his own style) would have certainly approved. Ugorsky's interpretation is brilliant.

      Rodrigo Fontana That is a good point and I agree with you "you will never understand" - honesty is the best quality!!! Bravo Fontana. Barogue is a period of the development of human culture that lasted about 150 years, from about 1600 to 1750! A drop in the ocean of history, but WHAT a drop!!! For you it is of course nothing, because simply YOU are a nothing, an uneducated, pretentious NOBODY!
