So many people commenting on her obvious physical beauty whilst ignoring her most beautiful asset...her hands. Yes she's very pretty and has amazing hair, but many young ladies have those qualities. How many have hands that can create something as phenomenal as this recital with such grace? I can imagine just how proud those who love her are. This is talent and passion at its very best.
I feel, Mark, that composers of the past have missed the magic of watching hands producing their work - it adds a whole new dimension. After all our brain ties the audio with the visual as a matter of course. We owe a great favour to the video recordists talents who allow us this too.
Aren't her hands part of her "physical" makeup? Yes, I agree that her hands are beautiful... but you're sadly mistaken in questioning the talent of other "young ladies". LOTS OF YOUNG BEAUTIFUL GIRLS CAN PLAY PIANO BEAUTIFULLY!!
@@jacobhebbel6448 No, no.... her hands are IN FACT BEAUTIFUL! You're the one that's wrong about that... ...probably because you find men more attractive than women, which is fine, but you're quite wrong... Everything about her is beautiful!!
@@theeouapolal7262 imma assume ur a troll, but if you aren’t then first off that level takes over a decade of continuous hard work, especially for the pathetique sonata. Not a lot of people can do this
I used to live near Chicago in 1993 and listened to classical music on WNIB-FM. In November I heard some tragic,very sad news.Two retired teachers crashed in a bus on the ice in rural England. They were such beautiful people+I miss them sooo much. They both loved this piano sonata #8 very much.
This is literally perfection. I have never heard an interpretation of this that is so emotional and powerful. THIS. This is the pinnacle of what humanity has to offer, truly and absolutely. The entire second movement, and the finale of the third movement, are absolutely transcendental and astounding. Realising that this performance is relatively unknown is quite upsetting to me personally. This talented woman deserves far more praise!

I have listened to Huppman’s interpretation of Pathetique numerous times as well as other highly regarded pianists including Horowitz. Just to determine why I love her interpretation. Of course, various nuanced interpretations are subjective but I love the contrast within Pathetique between the bright segments and the sensual moments. Huppman’s bright segments strike me as brighter as she plays with authority. Then the quieter sensual moments are even more sensual so the contrast within this sonata ilia enhanced to a point I love. I just hope that Beethoven is in a place where he can hear Huppman’s lovely interpretation!
I listened so many renditions of this sonata Zimerman, Ashkenazy, Serkin and Barenboim among many others. THIS IS THE MOST VIVID, PASSIONATE and CRYSTAL CLEAR performance of them all. Perfect articulation, excellent tempo, lush rubatos! Incredible work. And a beautiful woman as huge bonus!!
Have you listened to Yundi Li’s play of this sonata? It is equally impressive. Hers is softer and smoother like water or cloud. Yundi’s shows more strength and depth. Both are among the best recorded.
I keep seeing gorgeous white women lately. One after another after another after another. It's as if the more racist americans are against them the more gorgeous they get.
Dressed in black, playing in a room with empty chairs. Obviously, a favorite piece, one that artists play when they are alone, just for themselves. Thanks for sharing your great skill and your deeply held passion for Beethoven with us.
Aside from Covid-19, an empty hall fits so perfectly to interpret Beethoven's struggle to survive by defeating his invisible foe through his solo piano music, which Anastasia's empathy for him is so caable to capture and perform like he himself would probably did. Thank you A. 💜
As I listen to you play this I lam filled with awe at your beautiful mind.... I have no concept of how a person could memorize such a long and complicated work. You are absolutely amazing; and that is not even beginning to consider the years of practice and study to get to the point where such a feat is even possible. I truly hope you are continuing to find joy and happiness through your playing. I find joy every time I listen to you play it. Thank you, Fred
Terrific performance, crisp, well articulated, great dynamics and real feeling. She also gets my unofficial Wilhelm Kempff award for fidelity to the rhythm - so many pianists these days seem to be trying to create a unique interpretation by artificially meddling with rhythm and for Beethoven in particular that's a great way to ruin a piece. One further word - though I hesitate to comment on the appearance of a female pianist given the usual excessive commentary on this aspect on youtube, the hairstyle, outfit and body language really complemented this performance. Often I prefer not to watch a performer as it's a distraction but in this case found the visuals to be an enhancement to enjoyment of the piece and quite mesmerizing because of Ms. Huppmann's obvious absorption in the music. There is a star quality about her presence here and one can see why she has won so many competitions. Thank you Ms. Huppmann!
Amazing. Technique and emotion in perfect harmony. What an inspiration. You have the speed that does not overwhelm, unlike so many other young concert pianists who think that playing things at breakneck speed is what it is all about, but have no emotional connection to what they are playing. Unlike you - full of emotion, you remind us that music IS emotion. Thank you for this stunning performance.
I have had the joy of listening to this Sonata No 8 all my life. Since music will naturally evoke change with the musician, it is sometimes difficult to sense a difference. Ms. Huppmann performs a magnificent interpretation of this piece. I truly felt the love...and disdain of the composer. Cannot listen to this enough. Thank you.
So fantastisch habe ich Beethoven noch nie erlebt. Grandios!!! Ihre Interpretation, voll und ganz Ludwig, wie er war und wie er durch Sie weiter lebt. Vielen herzlichen Dank , auf ein Weiteres, bestimmt.
i gotta say i just love the acoustics of that room and how the room carries the sound of the piano so well. it just echoes. Even though I am not there, it feels like i am, cause the acoustics carry the sound so perfectly coming from my speakers. and i just love the atmosphere of the video!
I feel honoured to live in a time in history where i can hear this interpretation. Its sheer perfection, and the best interpretation out there. It inspired me to start learning this piece but it agravates me because noatrer what i do, it will never come close. Thanks for leaving us with this treat!
Madame that hairstyle is iconic and your dark apparel and excellent lighting blends well with the mysterious emotional sonata. Your hands are so fluid on the keyboard giving us a beautiful rendition of the masterpiece. Thanks for giving us a short background of the sonata.
Hi Ms. Huppman: Do you have your own TH-cam channel? Are your works available for download? In particular have you recorded much Bach music? Take care and stay safe.
This took me back to my first experience of this music 40 years ago. I felt like I was hearing it for the first time and the voices in its harmonies spoke to me about my life. Thank you for playing with such truth and purpose.
This adorable music is worthy to be sent, through the space on a spaceship, to be discovered, and listened by extraterrestrial life...They'd be delighted and GREATLY surprised, in regards what mankind has composed through a UNIQUE MUSICIAN...L.V. Beethoven...and what to to say about the gorgeous girl playing it...ASTONISHING...
imho This is the best piece of music ever performed or written. I have listened to it at least once a day for over thirty years. I have heard 27 pianists' recordings, 3 of them in multiple recordings. I have experienced it live 17 times by performers ranging from 21 to 57 years old. This is the first video I have seen in which the visual portion adds to the wonder and beauty of the best and most truly human piece of music ever (and I do not use such superlatives as best and most lightly). I not only applaud you. I bow to your depth, wonder, beauty, honesty, and greatness. Thank you. P.S. What a Pathetique hair style! Please ask your stylist to listen to this.
Such feed back is great, although I question the wisdom of commenting on her hair style..........................by the way,I love her hair, part of her amazing visual appearance.............rich............acoG
Masterful! I especially love your unique and effective timing and accents, reminding me of the freshness and excitement that André Cluytens brought to the Beethoven's symphonies (among his many other contributions). Your energy and strength puts the masters to shame! THANK YOU!
This was just a lovely rendition. Especially the first movement which everyone always feels the need to hammer out and rush through without all of the subtle dynamics. And of course, the second movement, which has captured my heart since early childhood when I learned to play it. I'm also very impressed by the quality of sound coming out of that Yamaha. Quite lovely. And of course, all of it being played by a beautiful woman with enviable posture.... Watching you makes me sit up straighter! Bravo.
Your mastery of the technical playing is wonderful to hear. Your mastery of the emotional completes the piece. A piano in perfect tuning enhances it all. Thank you so much for your gift to lovers of classical music played the way it's supposed to be.
This piece is beautiful. She puts a lot of feeling into this. I've played it as well. It's not easy to play and it takes tremendous control. Anastasia is a very gifted pianist. A pleasure to hear!!!!
Anastasia Huppmann is a GIFT from GOD. Extraordinarily talented--a beautiful performance with exquisite nuanced sensitivities in each phrase. 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜 ❤
I'm not, anyway. There's nothing wrong with it, but that''s not what this video is about. It's about the music she plays, not about her hair or her attire.
Germans can play Beethoven, but it takes a gifted Russian to bring all those centuries of brooding introspection to the table for a sublime experience. Well done. And by the way, I love the haircut. It's a character of it's own in this drama. And love love LOVE the muted and varied tempos you've brought to II. Adagio cantabile.
There's great camera work at play here. I can appreciate the multiple angles as well as the traveling shots. It meshes well with your dynamism and piece. Also, Ms. Huppmann, your new look is simply fierce! It suits you well. And your hairstyle--so bouncy and volumous. It's gorgeous! Your beauty and talent are enough to make all living things jealous.
Потрясающе! Очень выразительно и чувственно играете. И вылядите ни менее потрясающе! Умничка. Порадовали.Спасибо Вам. Наслаждение слушать Ваше исполнение.
Años que vengo admirando la sencible y a la vez soberbia forma de interpretar a este músico , con bríos propios de un hombre que escuchaba cada vez menos ... y la calma ... cierro los ojos y veo una Anastasia personificando magistralmente el temperamento de Ludwig ...
First time listening to you and it will defiantly not be the last. Thank you for honoring Beethoven with your hard work and talent. Thank you most of all for sharing your interpretation of this masterpiece with the world.
Hello! ANASTASIA! Thank you for your mention of Christmas, and for offering us listeners the hospitality of your youtubechannel. Thank you so much. This video is very beautiful both to the eye and ear. Light and shadows seem to suit both you and the Sonata. Also, love the black turtleneck sweater, so sharp! Shorter hair great! 🎉 Years ago ,about 1961, in Detroit, Michigan, i was able to hear a concert pianist named Karl Haas, from Germany, play live the opening of this Adagio cantabile , on weekdays, to open his radio WJR-a m morning show "Adventures in Good Music". Doubtless you have heard...now, your beautiful video and wonderful playing bring all this back and give me , give all of us, such a wonderful living experience of this Beautiful Sonata. Thank you again.❤🎉
@@classicalpianistThank you again, Anastasia, i just watched your video again tonight...the most lovable performance of the Pathetique, so thoughtful, too. Thank you🎉🎉
Beautiful interpretation of Beethoven, I played this in the Guild and on many stages here in America many years ago. With sadness I can't play the piano anymore, lost in time...had to work to build career and now it's lost to a time lapse of memory/arthritis. Don't ever let it leave you dear!
My dear Lady. Some consolation in the face of tragedy must be in recognizing that it is not for all humans to be able to touch the soul in a chord that comes out of the creative depth of the human spirit..
Naturally, women are the finest piano players since they can be fully "in the moment" rather than thinking about the next golf game. Yet perhaps Anastasia is best of all, better than my 3 favorite Russian and 2 favorite Korean pianists. Really, how could this Sonata ever be played better? What exceeds Divine?
I think there might be something to that. Woman have powers of sympathy, emotion and expression that normally far outreach most men. I'm a man, and though I'm also a Pisces, a musician, a creator and a romantic, I believe that (many, but not all) woman have empathy and a well of emotions, along with the ability to reach into those depths, that most men will never understand
Utterly hypnotising. The rest of the world melted away as I watched and listened. Beautiful interpretation. I am now inspired to learn this piece, thank you so much.
Anastasia, you are always so technically perfect!! Powerful, passionate and fabulous! Top performance of this famous and beloved Sonata!! BRAVO! ~Jackie
Anastasia Huppmann is now the best pianist in the world. Her beauty is also the best. Concerning Her piano technique, First, clear melody line. No voiced pedaling, every left handed chord is carefully down. Her Chopin Nocrurn No 2 , 7 measure from the end, E♭ーF , though general pianist play 8 notes, she played intensively 6 note. This is also very natural in her performance. She is also my ideal piano teacher.
FANTASTIC. Beethoven would have been married at once hearing this FANTASTIC expression of his work. And a beautiful female way of doing it. This is a masterpiece.
Ms. Huppmann- Closing my eyes, listening to your magnificent interpretation of Pathetique, was my preview of Heaven. Words fail me. You have been granted such a unique gift...that of totally comprehending what the Composer was hoping to convey. Blessings to you Darling. You are very special.
Her and that piano: she is just playing herself. What a niceness of physical and artistic beauty, so you dont know where the one begins and the other ends.
Many years ago I could play this piece myself and was inspired to play it well. Listening to your beautiful and impressionable interpretation, I clearly never master it. Bravo Anastasia!
Hi Anastasia, I love your performance, everything in it. Am 60yrs old now, will be doing my DipAbrsm, my teacher chose this piece for me. I love this piece, my dream to play it. I wish to deliver it, the way it should be. I will watch this youtube always. Superb! Bravo!!
Bravo Anastasia, thank you! This is one of the best versions I have ever heard. Very exclusive performance where power and melody are intertwined in most beautiful harmony!
Beautiful, also really nice that you add the possibility to watch this video in such high resolution, it really adds to the performance in a positive way.
WOW what a performance! At the age of 48 I just started with piano, always loved the Great Classical Composers. I will not even come close to play this wonderful piece of music. The lady plays it so well, unbelievable, and she can play anything she likes from the music sheet. I have great, greater, greatest admiration for such soulful playing. Unfortunately the sound quality is not true to such a wonderful playing.
It's fine, but You need to listen to this performance other than your tiny phone. Wear headphones and listen to the video recording either on TV or a quality computer.
Wolfgang Markus Gstrein > LoL. It’s obvious you were listening to this video from your phone or cheap computer. The “sound quality” is fine. To say the quality “is not true” is simply absurd.
@@blackclavish says someone who is miles apart, haven't seen my equipment and don't know what High End means! One thing is true: The digitalised sound needs to be converted, but there are some fine solutions available. The sound of long play discs will remain unmatched! But why I am talking? You know it better, Mrs, know it all! Will you please give me an advice for a High End Turntable... I guess mine is too weak! Haha...
Bravo ! Perfect hairstyle for playing Beethoven ... You are wonderful Princess , I am an old man , I think of you as the daughter I never had .. God bless your parents for raising such a lady ..
Excellent and beautiful. One of the few recordings I found that come close to the passion of my absolute favorite recital by Vladimir Ashkenazy. Bravo!
Absolutely love the Pathetique sonata. You excel in bringing this sonata to life and play it so beautifully. I play this sonata but have not brought it up to the tempo it should be played at as you do so magnificently. I will keep practicing it and listening to your recording of it to help me bring it up to tempo. Thank you for recording such beautiful music. I thoroughly enjoy all of it. I would love to hear you play Chopin's Prelude Op. 28 No. 24.
Thank you, I realize that this video was performed 4 years ago but the music lives forever !!! BETHOVEN has always been one of my favorite composers. I love and adore all of his piano compositions. Again, THANK YOU allowing to enjoy your excellent performance. The emotional content of this performance allowed me feel the music the way that Bethoven would have wanted all of us feel this marvelous work. GOD BLESS !!! 😇😇😇
C'est sublime, le piano fait corps avec votre âme de pianiste, vous êtes merveilleuse à en pleurer à chaque vibration, à chaque sonorité, des plus franches aux plus subtiles. Je ne m'en lasse pas. Un grand merci à vous pour cette sonate inoubliable qui va et qui revient inlassablement.
Прекрасно ! Браво троекратное!!! Великий композитор, великое произведение, чудесное исполнение !!! Ленин о произведениях Бетховена говорил: "Эту музыку хочется слушать вечно" Но он ещё не видел это прекрасное исполнение.
@@classicalpianist смотрю, слушаю, восторгаюсь Вами и (может покажется прозаичным) попадаю в прошлое, когда был в детской музыкальной школе, вижу людей, которые окружали меня, и как всегда приятно и грустно, но конечно сдерживаешься. Сожалею теперь, что дальше музыкальной школы не суждено было пойти, видимо не те способности были, хотя педагоги многое сделали. Благодарю своих родителей, что я учился музыке и смог хотябы чуть-чуть теперь прикоснуться и к Вашему миру. Вы так прекрасны, что смогу смотреть ваши видео неочень часто !
She loves what she does, firmly and completely involved in her version of this music. … Showing her own views. This is Interesting to share it with us. 😊 Elle a une grosse force de frappe… C’ est étonnant de voir cela, selon moi. Comme elle appuie sur les notes. Wow.
It's always an amazing experience to witness artistic excellence. Anastasia Huppmann is truly a gem that is gracing and will continue to grace world stages, including TH-cam for so many of us to be inspired and blessed. Yes, artistic excellence. Thank you for all the work you do and for being an artistic vessel. Great work!
I've never seen, nie gesehen, such an impressive interpretation of the pathetic sonata , and this includes Horowitz, Rubinstein, Nelson Freire, and othes, bin beeindruckt davon, vielen dank! von São Paulo, Brazil!!!
When technique meets Passion and Love, there is Anastasia. Just perfect, everything ! Thank you, what a wonderful gift, a great performance as always, please continue to amaze me and give your talent to the world.

This is the first video I have seen in which the visual portion adds to the wonder and beauty of the best and most truly human piece of music ever (and I do not use such superlatives as best and most lightly). I not only applaud you. I bow to your depth, wonder, beauty, honesty, and greatness. Thank you. P.S. What a Pathetique hair style! Please ask your stylist to listen to this.
🙏🏻
Such feed back is great, although I question the wisdom of commenting on her hair style..........................by the way,I love her hair, part of her amazing visual appearance.............rich............acoG
I came for the music, but stayed for the hair. Magnificent !!!
🙏🏻
Love all of it the hair the passion and the talented brilliant performance.
I came for the hair and stayed for the music 🎶
Masterful! I especially love your unique and effective timing and accents, reminding me of the freshness and excitement that André Cluytens brought to the Beethoven's symphonies (among his many other contributions). Your energy and strength puts the masters to shame! THANK YOU!
As a pianist who also performed this piece, I loved your interpretation. The effort to show each detail it's so good. I enjoyed it very much!
This was just a lovely rendition. Especially the first movement which everyone always feels the need to hammer out and rush through without all of the subtle dynamics. And of course, the second movement, which has captured my heart since early childhood when I learned to play it.
I'm also very impressed by the quality of sound coming out of that Yamaha. Quite lovely.
And of course, all of it being played by a beautiful woman with enviable posture.... Watching you makes me sit up straighter!
Bravo.
🙏🏻
Your mastery of the technical playing is wonderful to hear. Your mastery of the emotional completes the piece. A piano in perfect tuning enhances it all. Thank you so much for your gift to lovers of classical music played the way it's supposed to be.
🙏
My father played this often. Your phrasing is very similar to his. He's gone two years, now. Thanks for bringing him back for a little whilee. :)
🙏🏻
This piece is beautiful. She puts a lot of feeling into this. I've played it as well. It's not easy to play and it takes tremendous control. Anastasia is a very gifted pianist. A pleasure to hear!!!!
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Anastasia Huppmann is a GIFT from GOD. Extraordinarily talented--a beautiful performance with exquisite nuanced sensitivities in each phrase. 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜 ❤
Thank you 🙏🏻 To read these wonderful words from a person with such an adorable face is a joy!😍 (doggos forever 🐶)
@@classicalpianist You make my happy dog even happier with your wonderful piano performances! 💖
@bikedawg I’m deeply touched 🙏🏻 hugs 🤗 to your bestie 🫶🏻
Spot on. I listen and watch every version of Pathetique that I find. You Anastasia, nailed it. Magnifique
🙏🏻
this young lady is an excellent pianist as well as being quite beautiful.
🙏🏻
Nobody is gonna mention how awesome her hair is?
🙏🏻
Once more through with a comb, I'd recommend.
@@Emslander no way.
I'm not, anyway. There's nothing wrong with it, but that''s not what this video is about. It's about the music she plays, not about her hair or her attire.
Same with Beethoven.
Germans can play Beethoven, but it takes a gifted Russian to bring all those centuries of brooding introspection to the table for a sublime experience. Well done. And by the way, I love the haircut. It's a character of it's own in this drama. And love love LOVE the muted and varied tempos you've brought to II. Adagio cantabile.
I can only remember my dear mother playing this, as she was in her late twenties. There is here an energy I have rarely found. Beautiful!
Yes. Sounds nice. Altoug a little bit Hard for me.
Wow...this is an absolutely outstanding performance with great passion, emotion, and technicality!!! I loved it, and I also love the new hairdo!!
🙏
There's great camera work at play here. I can appreciate the multiple angles as well as the traveling shots. It meshes well with your dynamism and piece.
Also, Ms. Huppmann, your new look is simply fierce! It suits you well. And your hairstyle--so bouncy and volumous. It's gorgeous!
Your beauty and talent are enough to make all living things jealous.
🙏
The most beautiful pianist in the world♥
🙏🏻
No doubt, Best version of the No.8 I've ever heard in my life!!!🔥🔥 Truly blessd thank you so much
Thank you so much for posting these pieces on youtube, Anastasia. And it is very nice to meeting you, my pleasure.
La migliore esecuzione di questa sonata che abbia mai sentito. Grazie Nasti, grande come sempre.
🙏🏻
I love Beethoven music play by Huppmann, best pianist.
Потрясающе! Очень выразительно и чувственно играете. И вылядите ни менее потрясающе! Умничка. Порадовали.Спасибо Вам. Наслаждение слушать Ваше исполнение.
Años que vengo admirando la sencible y a la vez soberbia forma de interpretar a este músico , con bríos propios de un hombre que escuchaba cada vez menos ... y la calma ... cierro los ojos y veo una Anastasia personificando magistralmente el temperamento de Ludwig ...
First time listening to you and it will defiantly not be the last. Thank you for honoring Beethoven with your hard work and talent. Thank you most of all for sharing your interpretation of this masterpiece with the world.
Hello! ANASTASIA!
Thank you for your mention of Christmas, and for offering us listeners the hospitality of your youtubechannel. Thank you so much. This video is very beautiful both to the eye and ear. Light and shadows seem to suit both you and the Sonata. Also, love the black turtleneck sweater, so sharp! Shorter hair great! 🎉
Years ago ,about 1961, in
Detroit, Michigan, i was able to hear a concert pianist named Karl Haas, from Germany, play live the opening of this Adagio cantabile , on weekdays, to open his radio WJR-a m morning show "Adventures in Good Music". Doubtless you have heard...now, your beautiful video and wonderful playing bring all this back and give me , give all of us, such a wonderful living experience of this Beautiful Sonata. Thank you again.❤🎉
Thank you 🫶🏻
@@classicalpianistWelcome back,Anastasia!! How nice to hear from you today especially! 😊 ❤
@@classicalpianistThank you again, Anastasia, i just watched your video again tonight...the most lovable performance of the Pathetique, so thoughtful, too.
Thank you🎉🎉
Beautiful interpretation of Beethoven, I played this in the Guild and on many stages here in America many years ago. With sadness I can't play the piano anymore, lost in time...had to work to build career and now it's lost to a time lapse of memory/arthritis. Don't ever let it leave you dear!
🙏🏻
@@classicalpianist Happy New Year, Anastasia.
My dear Lady. Some consolation in the face of tragedy must be in recognizing that it is not for all humans to be able to touch the soul in a chord that comes out of the creative depth of the human spirit..
The pianist is brilliant, full of energy, superb performance 🙏🏻🎶⭐️🌷
Anastasia in her element: perfect!
🙏
Naturally, women are the finest piano players since they can be fully "in the moment" rather than thinking about the next golf game. Yet perhaps Anastasia is best of all, better than my 3 favorite Russian and 2 favorite Korean pianists. Really, how could this Sonata ever be played better? What exceeds Divine?
I think there might be something to that. Woman have powers of sympathy, emotion and expression that normally far outreach most men. I'm a man, and though I'm also a Pisces, a musician, a creator and a romantic, I believe that (many, but not all) woman have empathy and a well of emotions, along with the ability to reach into those depths, that most men will never understand
Passion, talent and beauty. Is there anything more attractive? No there isn't. We have reached the peak. Wonderful.
🫶🏻
Utterly hypnotising. The rest of the world melted away as I watched and listened. Beautiful interpretation. I am now inspired to learn this piece, thank you so much.
🙏🏻
Anastasia, you are always so technically perfect!! Powerful, passionate and fabulous! Top performance of this famous and beloved Sonata!! BRAVO! ~Jackie
Jackie Perks - Classical Jams Piano 🙏
Incredible ability to separate out voices and beautiful phrasing. Wow!
🙏🏻
I'm just getting started on Beethoven. But I must say she is the prettiest pianist I've ever seen.
There is also Hélène Grimaud, stunningly beautiful.
Striking how Anastasia is so talented and beautiful. She must be an Angel.
or not! Only two possibilities.
🙏🏻
BEAUTIFUL LADY WHO PLAYS LIKE A ANGEL THE MUSIC OF BEETHOVEN
🙏🏻
Bravo ! Wonderful! completely performed tempo and emotion with her superb technique. Beautiful Beethoven Pathetique!, I've heard first time.
🙏
Anastasia Huppmann is now the best pianist in the world. Her beauty is also the best. Concerning Her piano technique, First, clear melody line. No voiced pedaling, every left handed chord is carefully down. Her Chopin Nocrurn No 2 , 7 measure from the end, E♭ーF , though general pianist play 8 notes, she played intensively 6 note. This is also very natural in her performance. She is also my ideal piano teacher.
ok tempo emotion sensibility technic
An intelligent, elegant and heartfelt performance. Bravo! Very well done!
🙏🏻
FANTASTIC.
Beethoven would have been married at once hearing this FANTASTIC expression of his work.
And a beautiful female way of doing it.
This is a masterpiece.
Ms. Huppmann- Closing my eyes, listening to your magnificent interpretation of Pathetique, was my preview of Heaven. Words fail me. You have been granted such a unique gift...that of totally comprehending what the Composer was hoping to convey. Blessings to you Darling. You are very special.
Thanks for listening and this deeply touching comment 🫶🏻
Her and that piano: she is just playing herself.
What a niceness of physical and artistic beauty,
so you dont know where the one begins and the other ends.
🫶🏻
Many years ago I could play this piece myself and was inspired to play it well. Listening to your beautiful and impressionable interpretation, I clearly never master it. Bravo Anastasia!
I don’t know what is more beautiful…. You or the music that you play. ❤
🙏🏻
Right
Hi Anastasia, I love your performance, everything in it. Am 60yrs old now, will be doing my DipAbrsm, my teacher chose this piece for me. I love this piece, my dream to play it. I wish to deliver it, the way it should be. I will watch this youtube always. Superb! Bravo!!
🫶🏻
Bravo Anastasia, thank you! This is one of the best versions I have ever heard. Very exclusive performance where power and melody are intertwined in most beautiful harmony!
Beautiful, also really nice that you add the possibility to watch this video in such high resolution, it really adds to the performance in a positive way.
чудно! Молодец, Анастасия!
WOW what a performance! At the age of 48 I just started with piano, always loved the Great Classical Composers. I will not even come close to play this wonderful piece of music. The lady plays it so well, unbelievable, and she can play anything she likes from the music sheet. I have great, greater, greatest admiration for such soulful playing. Unfortunately the sound quality is not true to such a wonderful playing.
🙏
It's fine, but You need to listen to this performance other than your tiny phone. Wear headphones and listen to the video recording either on TV or a quality computer.
@@blackclavish who says that I was listening on cell phone? Have you ever heard of Kuhl (amplification) & Göbel High End (speakers)? Lady, please!
Wolfgang Markus Gstrein > LoL. It’s obvious you were listening to this video from your phone or cheap computer. The “sound quality” is fine. To say the quality “is not true” is simply absurd.
@@blackclavish says someone who is miles apart, haven't seen my equipment and don't know what High End means! One thing is true: The digitalised sound needs to be converted, but there are some fine solutions available. The sound of long play discs will remain unmatched! But why I am talking? You know it better, Mrs, know it all!
Will you please give me an advice for a High End Turntable... I guess mine is too weak! Haha...
Bravo ! Perfect hairstyle for playing Beethoven ... You are wonderful Princess , I am an old man , I think of you as the daughter I never had .. God bless your parents for raising such a lady ..
Excellent and beautiful. One of the few recordings I found that come close to the passion of my absolute favorite recital by Vladimir Ashkenazy. Bravo!
Long or Short Hair don't matter. You are still a lovely Lady that plays Beautiful Musik. Many Thanks!
🙏
Thank you, from a humble man from the Heartland of America.
Absolutely love the Pathetique sonata. You excel in bringing this sonata to life and play it so beautifully. I play this sonata but have not brought it up to the tempo it should be played at as you do so magnificently. I will keep practicing it and listening to your recording of it to help me bring it up to tempo. Thank you for recording such beautiful music. I thoroughly enjoy all of it.
I would love to hear you play Chopin's Prelude Op. 28 No. 24.
Here is Kayla ok
Thank you!🙏🏻
What a beautiful and a very moving performance! Thank you for using a YMAHA piano. I'm honor as a Japanese to see your playing YAMAHA piano.
🙏🏻
Thank you, I realize that this video was performed 4 years ago but the music lives forever !!! BETHOVEN has always been one of my favorite composers. I love and adore all of his piano compositions.
Again, THANK YOU allowing to enjoy your excellent performance. The emotional content of this performance allowed me feel the music the way that Bethoven would have wanted all of us feel this marvelous work. GOD BLESS !!! 😇😇😇
🫶🏻
C'est sublime, le piano fait corps avec votre âme de pianiste, vous êtes merveilleuse à en pleurer à chaque vibration, à chaque sonorité, des plus franches aux plus subtiles. Je ne m'en lasse pas. Un grand merci à vous pour cette sonate inoubliable qui va et qui revient inlassablement.
J'adore votre interprétation de Beethoven Anastasia, merci à vous de nous procurer du plaisir musical pendant cette triste période. Un fan Français.
🙏🏻
Wow! Is she for real? Beauty and talent in one package!
🫶🏻
Прекрасно ! Браво троекратное!!! Великий композитор, великое произведение, чудесное исполнение !!! Ленин о произведениях Бетховена говорил: "Эту музыку хочется слушать вечно" Но он ещё не видел это прекрасное исполнение.
Спасибо! 🙏🏻
@@classicalpianist смотрю, слушаю, восторгаюсь Вами и (может покажется прозаичным) попадаю в прошлое, когда был в детской музыкальной школе, вижу людей, которые окружали меня, и как всегда приятно и грустно, но конечно сдерживаешься. Сожалею теперь, что дальше музыкальной школы не суждено было пойти, видимо не те способности были, хотя педагоги многое сделали. Благодарю своих родителей, что я учился музыке и смог хотябы чуть-чуть теперь прикоснуться и к Вашему миру.
Вы так прекрасны, что смогу смотреть ваши видео неочень часто !
She loves what she does, firmly and completely involved in her version of this music.
… Showing her own views. This is Interesting to share it with us. 😊 Elle a une grosse force de frappe… C’ est étonnant de voir cela, selon moi. Comme elle appuie sur les notes. Wow.
It's always an amazing experience to witness artistic excellence. Anastasia Huppmann is truly a gem that is gracing and will continue to grace world stages, including TH-cam for so many of us to be inspired and blessed. Yes, artistic excellence. Thank you for all the work you do and for being an artistic vessel. Great work!
🙏🏻
I've never seen, nie gesehen, such an impressive interpretation of the pathetic sonata , and this includes Horowitz, Rubinstein, Nelson Freire, and othes, bin beeindruckt davon, vielen dank! von São Paulo, Brazil!!!
🙏🏻
German gorgious and talented.
What makes the Sonata pathetic?
When technique meets Passion and Love, there is Anastasia. Just perfect, everything !
Thank you, what a wonderful gift, a great performance as always, please continue to amaze me and give your talent to the world.
🫶🏻
Bravo, Anastasia! Your playing is so expressive and beautiful. I loved listening to this. Thank you!
🙏
Such passion & beauty. I used to love playing this when I was young, though never quite as well as you do. You’re a treasure. Thank you for sharing this performance. 🙏
