This is is so far the best interpretation I've heard of this Brahms work.Only second to my piano teacher’s,Michael Rickman.The dynamics, the micro dynamics ,the articulations, are perfect.The tempo is fantastic, it is the perfect tempo to capture all the juicy details this piece is hiding. Would love to hear how she has worked it out. I'm relearning this one as I played it for my juries back in my college years and I missed working on it properly, now I want to make it justice. Is such a wonderful piece. Congratulations to this pianist, she makes it hers and it sounds fantastic, It is a song without work,a piano crafted poem worthy of Clara Shummans judgement and enjoyment, as brand probably intended.
I'm so glad that I finally found a performance of this piece that I truly love. The tone that you magically elicit from this piano together with the acoustics in this hall is a match made in heaven. The lower register at times sounds like a string bass rather than a piano. I love the way you brought out the middle voice in the middle section, glossed over by so many famous pianists that I've listened to. I am going to subscribe to your channel and listen to all your performances now.
Wow, this performance is definitely the favourite of all the performances I've heard - I love the tempo, which really gives the music time to breathe... the beautiful singing melody and fine control of dynamics with delicate phrasing is just sublime... perfect rubato that is judged just right - never rushed and never languishing. I feel like I've been transported to heaven. I love how TH-cam makes it possible to discover talented pianists like Inna and their interpretations. When I listen to other pianists - even the great Brahmsians like Julius Katchen play this Brahms intermezzo, I do feel they rush it overall and don't give the listener enough time to be immersed in its beauty... that's what I love so much about Inna's performance - it just seems to be the exact right tempo for me. Bravo!
Sehr zärtlich und leidenschaftlich gespielt und jedem Ton wurde die Zeit gelassen um gespielt zu sein und zu erklingen. Wunderschöne Interpretation! Wunderbar! Herzlichen Dank! ❤🌼🖐️😊👌
This isn't a grand concert piano, but the tone and vibrato is rich and pure. Perhaps it is the setting and the background. No one but the pianist totally immersed in one o,f, if not the most beautiful of all Brahms'mastrerpieces. She has captured the essence of it .
I have played this piece through and it has its challenges but without it is a outstanding piece and I`ll looking foreward to overcoming it as it is so beautiful
Absolutely beautiful. Your playing is so expressive and matches this piece perfectly. Brahms captured so much emotion in these notes and you brought it all to life. Hope, sadness, longing, melancholy, desire, nostalgia, beauty, and more. It always reminds me of coming to terms with something inevitable. As far as you try to pull away and move towards something else, it eventually comes back to where it always was meant to be. Thank you for sharing.
What a marvellous recording! The touché is simply unmatched, the colours produced therefore so far the best I've heard. But what really shows her mastery in the face of many great pianists: The feeling for time and space! She's not afraid to stick to the tempo or even breathe as she never loses her legato or phrase, while many others would start rushing while trying to express emotion. I bow before you, Inna! I will definitely take some ideas into my interpretation on the harp! Congratulations and good luck with everything!
Thank you so much for your appreciation of my work! This is truly a piece thats very deep to my heart and i am very happy the listeners can feel it and understand my interpretation. :)
Now aged 77, this was one of the first shorter masterpieces by Brahms that I grew to treasure. But every aspect of this video raised my appreciation for this work to another level. It never produced chills until now. The acoustics of this hall are subliminal, and the camerawork exquisite. This performance joins my top two of Brahms shorter works, those being the ones by Ragna Schirmer of the Rhapsody #2, op.79, and the Rhapsody #1, op. 79 by Morton Estrin, both on YOU TUBE. Reading about your career and repertoire, I landed upon your fine recordings of the Rachmaninoff "moment-musicaux" #4 and the Sciabin etude op.8,#2. It was hard to block out of my brain, respectively, the immortal recordings by Lazar Berman and Vladimir Horowitz. But when the next recording began, the Pagodes by Debussy, from Estampes, with which I was unfamiliar, the elegance and grace of this profound work was absolutely ethereal and spellbinding, far, far above the level of the two previous pieces, being the more performed virtuosic showpieces that they are. If I were a pianist trying to make a strong positive impression on a jury, I would indubitably include this gem in the first round of competition. As much as I idolize Sergei Vasilievitch Rachmaninoff, he only had one or two works by Debussy in his repertoire, and they were short pieces. With his insuperabile God-given memory and technique, it would be utterly impossible for him to be unable to memorize and play anything that Debussy composed. What stopped him from performing and recording at least a few of his major masterpieces is a mystery we shall never solve. I shall be watching many more of your videos. I heard Chopin's "Concert Rondo" on the radio this morning and was listening to various pianist's videos of this unfamiliar piece to me when fortunately your video of this Brahms intermezzo randomly popped up, and I was wise enough to listen to someone unfamiliar to me. Your name looks Italian to me, although you are from Bulgaria. At the age of only 33, your accomplishments are amazing, especially your eclectic interest in many genres of music and extraordinary proficiency in performance, a rarity indeed to have multifaceted gifts to this degree. I noticed your interest in GOSPEL music. As a token of my appreciation for your work, genius and broad taste for great music, I want to recommend some recordings by the deceased country music star David Houston: On the "Classic Country197" channel, google IN THE GARDEN; IN THE SWEET BY AND BY; WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS; IF I COULD HEAR MY MOTHER PRAY AGAIN; and on the "Topic" channel, google: JUST A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE; WHEN THEY RING THOSE GOLDEN BELLS; and WHERE WE'LL NEVER GROW OLD. 🌠Milton Moore🌠 "🎆Las Vegas Nv.🎆
@@colleen8997 YES I HAVE. IT IS VERY COMPARABLE TO THIS ONE. GOOGLE MORTON ESTRIN ON BRAHMS RHAPSODY IN A MINOR, OP. 79, #1. THANKS FOR CONTACTING ME.😊
@@innaangelova Avec appreciation toujours. It has been a long time since I have been so inspired by a performance that I wrote a highly detailed response of praise like this.
Thank you very much! I had many Teachers inkl. Rositza Ivancheva, Tomasz Herbut, Eckart Heiligers and lots of Masterclasses with D. Bashkirov and others.
but what about that fabulous fidelity in the whole production - you might almost be there at the Kulturhaus Helferei (without the tedium of flying from Australia !) In the past it was always played too fast so enjoy this version ?
Far to slow completely wrong speed ! Slowing it to get more out of this beautiful piece has the reverse affect, almost stalls in places losing its purpose and emotional impact.
At first I had the same feeling, but thanks to the slower tempo, I began to savour the harmonies and counter melodies more than the faster tempi. I like several renditions of the piece, including this one. Vive la difference !!
@@joesoy9185 Thank you very much for your reply. I'm an old man now and listened to Classical music since 13 I can say every day as I'm addicted!!This piece is marked Legato. I've heard sooooo many renditions and this version I'm afraid to say is chartering a wrong course and I'm sure Brahms himself would raise an eyebrow ! I have given you a link to an indisputably perfect rendition of how it should be played. th-cam.com/video/20Gb0JcviRA/w-d-xo.html
私はこれくらいゆっくりの方が様々な気持ちが入って好きです！素敵な演奏をありがとうございます！😊
Tank you! :) Im glad you llike it.

Who doesnt love late Brahms?
Just gorgeous - hairs standing up on my neck!
What a lovely performance!
素晴らしい演奏をありがとうです。このように弾けたらどんなによいでしょうか
何度聴いてもメロディーの流れがとても心地よく、癒されます。
the setting the performer's appearance/dress, and the piece give it a 19th century flashback look......i would like to see this in black and white
You play wonderfully❤❤❤
masterful.
I would love to hear/see you play Op 118 #5 too.
This piece is a real sod to play right..........well done !

Exaggerated!
beautifully done and a nice blend of the accoustics.
The acoustics and sound recording did not do the skilful playing any justice at all.
I have played this piece through and it has its challenges but without it is a outstanding piece and I`ll looking foreward to overcoming it as it is so beautiful
I day dreaming with your performance, thinking about a girl 8-)

So beautifully played. I'm trying but cannot get it to sound like this.
This is absolutely lovely, thank you for sharing your performance with us.
Thank you so much! :)
I don’t know why this one has only 10k views. It’s outstanding. I love every articulation you’ve made.
