How he plays it is just so incredibly gentle, thoughtful, as if the notes are caressing your ears, and you never recognized auditory beauty transforming into images of incredible landscapes, loved ones, your most treasured memories.. It’s fascinating how human emotion can create such art, and control one entirely to let that emotion only trail into your hands, our hands, and with such, make the most wonderful art, or most fearing experiences.
i have compared and listen many times to the different interpretation of this music and this is the best one i like most is by Aldo Cicolini. His playing of this piece is like caressing and tenderly in love with the woman he loves. the tempo is not rushing and smooth. I can listen to this piece and mr. Cicolini playing this piece many times. I love this music very much. BRAVO.
At first I thought. "Oh, he slowed down the tempo compared to other recordings I usually listen to." Then 30 seconds into the music, my jaw just dropped... There's just so much breath with each note. It's like he makes the piano sound like a woodwind instrument... Brava!!!
I will always believe that Ciccolini played this in a rather slow tempo with a reason and conviction. And such is only convincing when it is displayed by someone who walked through years of ups and downs. But the underlying charm is that true love takes time to explore and grow to the fullest. For a aging person, love is hoped to last as long as it can be. Thank you Maestro!
This is a man who knew love, who experienced it, and knew how to connect the music with the truly felt emotion of it, the purity of it, the passion of it. This is a man who knew how to love and to make love, how to please and how to pleasure. This piece has always been, to me, a piece that expresses the gentleness and crescendo of the passion of love, but no one plays it as exquisitely and as vividly as it has been played here. It speaks volumes of its composer and its performer! How utterly beautiful!
@@williamdiffin28 No, I meant what I said. Many musicians can correctly play the notes and phrasing as directed by the notations, or mimic what other artists have played, but that isn't the same as having an emotional connection to a piece, or understanding the emotion of a piece, and allowing yourself as a musician to be vulnerable enough to share those emotions. I do, however, thank you for making my point for me that few understand what I said and what I meant when I said it.
I didn't realize how beautiful this piece was until I heard it played by this master. I'm definitely going to learn it. Elgar composed it for his wife, a wonderful woman who was disowned by her family because she married a "tradesman" (!) and a Catholic (!).
Thank you so much for not racing through this beautiful piece. It now seems to be played at such high speed that it's definitely NO salute to love. Expression and empathy make the artist, not speed or gymnastics. BRAVO!
I'm here because I adore Mr Ciccolini's Erik Satie recordings. I have them all on very crackly vinyl : ) This piece is new to me but has the same simple sweetness that I enjoyed in his playing of Satie. Thanks for uploading.
Absolutely incredible- this is one of my favorite interpretations I've heard by far. The push and the pull and the tension between each note is astounding. So much expression through these simple notes, it really is beautiful :)
I really like the tempo choice too. It’s quite a bit slower than that of the usual violin recording, though the Berlin Phil plays this at a similar tempo.
The way he plays it makes me smile several times. Feels like someone is giving me beautiful love and thought which all I can do is smilling and saying, "Thank you!".
Its been a year since I stumbled upon this Ciccolinis interpretation of this piece and I have been watching it almost every day for the past year. This is the best interpretation I've heard of by far
The way he plays, the notes he add, the different arpeggios and flicks, he's making the song his life story, and I love it so much. Thank you for sharing this with us. Absolutely beautiful. Example; 0:58 - 1:03
Já ouvi muitas interpretações de Salut D’Amour,mas essa está entre as mais belas! Aldo Ciccolini saúda o Amor com a Alma repleta de Amor! A sua Interpretação orvalha o meu coração e redime a secura do olhar! Belíssima!!!!!!!
This is a kind of life achievement of a maestro.. which is far beyond technique... It is so beautiful that it's even sad... each time I listen to this performance...The tempo is relatively slow but who would care... So touching video...Thanks...
🌟🌟🌟 e sentirlo suonare in privato durante una lezione è stato un DONO che porterò dentro per sempre..... eternamente grato MAESTRO! ricordo ancora quando mi ponesti di fronte il preludio delle TERZE ALTERNATE di Debussy e mi dicesti: SUONALO.... a prima vista.... devo ancora capire il motivo, ma non è mai stato così "semplice" studiarlo... questa è la grandezza che avevi come UOMO VERO! altro che oggigiorno..... 🌟🌟🌟
When I was in love, I listened to beautiful music every free minute and I never stopped liking it. It was just an indescribable delight. Love has passed, I turn it on again, but I no longer feel anything, I do not experience the emotions and impressions that it made on me. I loved that man very much, but he considered me a little girl incapable of true love and physical intimacy.💔
Bruh this old man plays the piano better than I am I don’t even know if I could reach that level and there’s just this woman like:Old man hurry up I gotta drink coffee at Starbucks.
Age is just a number, the mind and soul stay young forever. 👍🌷🌷🌷🍀

Thank you, fully agreed, for your gentle commentary! :-)
howle doen? 🥺🥺🥺
@@berlinzerberus Lovely comments. To the Love!
I love it
It is said that when music brings sustained applause, it's the soul taking over from emotions.
Это потрясающее исполнение! Аж до мурашек❤Благодарю!

This is seriously the best rendition of this piece I've heard.
I agree.
Is there any sheet music for it?
amazing rendition. you should also check out tomoharu uchida's version

Well said, 66FKC. I agree with you.

You made me teary-eyed
Feeling the loss of my beloved .

'It speaks volumes of its comp.......!'
Thanks for this new vocabulary in English.
'This is a man who... etc.'
You mean: 'This is a musician.'

An awesome performance by this underrated aging master. So much experience and wisdom, it would be hard to match/
Thank you so much for not racing through this beautiful piece. It now seems to be played at such high speed that it's definitely NO salute to love. Expression and empathy make the artist, not speed or gymnastics. BRAVO!
@Tiffany Homes, I agree, it is usually played far too fast, thus losing all its meaning.
To be fair, Elgar's autograph is 72.
The interpretation for a lifetime!!! Moving to tears
Мое поклонение пианисту ! В мире хаоса, угрозы жизни я воспринимаю эту пьесу Элгара как защиту души от смятения и страха...
Damn whoever dare to cough in such beautiful music!!
This is the best version of Salut D'Amour including all instrumental versions I've heard.

It has been hiding from me too. Discovered it only recently.
it's a violin and piano/orchestra piece!
I agree
I agree!! The best performance of this piece (ANd I just love this piece), at least at this very moment for me!!
I really like the tempo choice too. It’s quite a bit slower than that of the usual violin recording, though the Berlin Phil plays this at a similar tempo.

You're not the only one Bill.
Vielen Dank für diese Musik, ich höre sie jeden Tag ....
Gern geschehen!
あなたと出会ってからいろんなことがありました。
いろんなことが変わりました。
変わらないことが一つだけあります。
あなたへの愛です。
こんな感じの曲。
A Neapolitan living in Paris playing one of England's greatest composers. A beautiful piece and magnificently played! Bravo maestro!
Damn ninja cutting onions.. He just told me his life’s story without saying anything. Oh god.

Fanfiction brought me here. My obsession with this piece made me stay for like, 10 play throughs
Played beautifully with such feeling. Just lovely
So absolutely beautiful, such tenderness and love, mille grazie
ohh, this is sooo beautiful!! i want to cry and smile at the same time
He must have a lot of memories poured into his rendition of this beautiful piece.
Its been a year since I stumbled upon this Ciccolinis interpretation of this piece and I have been watching it almost every day for the past year. This is the best interpretation I've heard of by far
he really loved that girl :'D
No one plays it better than Aldo ...
How I love this song. I play it all day. So gentle. So heartwarming. Love this.😍
😢 3:26 😢 3:26 😢 3:26 😢😢 3:26 🎉😢
Thank you from the deepest of my heart, for your sentimental playing!
I GUESS THIS PERFORMANCE WAS NEAR THE END OF HIS LIFE, HE DIED ON FEBRUARY 1ST 2015, AT HIS PARIS HOME., HE WAS 89.
the best musical interpretation. Bravo👏👏👏
The way he plays, the notes he add, the different arpeggios and flicks, he's making the song his life story, and I love it so much. Thank you for sharing this with us. Absolutely beautiful.
Example; 0:58 - 1:03
Unbearably, other-worldly beautiful. I need this in large quantity.

Oh my goodness. So tender.
Absolutely I feel the real salut d'amour.

Grande Ciccolini che ha onorato la NAPOLI musicale e l'ITALIA
... ma Napoli non lo ha onorato.
Wow! Perfect!
Nobody plays it like Ciccolini. The only one who reachs the deepest meaning of this piece
The mighty Ciccolini does it one last time - again! Marvelous, marvelous indeed!!!
Merci Aldo pour tout cet amour de la musique et l'amour du public, que vous avez nourri pendant si longtemps. On ne vous oubliera jamais...
Standing ovation to his interpretation. Love it.
This has got to me my favourite rendition of all time! Not too loud; it engages you and doesn't overwhelm.
Rest in peace..
So beautiful, so pure, imagine someone plays this masterpiece for you sincerely by heart. Grazi Aldo!
Это великолепно!❤😊
Who is cutting onions while I'm in bed listening to this? 😭
Like a precious diamond, masterfully cut.
I hope that we’ll see each other again and as often as you would like to post a video:-)
Very well done Mr. Ciccolini, sir,. Thank you. (Holland) 🌷🌷🌷
Браво!!!!❤
Beautifully played... And how beautiful a piece also..
Thank you very much, Sir. The beauty of this piece warmed my heart. Thank you for your artwork. Rest in peace.
You're welcome!
Really beautiful, lyrical playing - he puts so much feeling into this sentimental miniature! I hope you've had a great summer so far ...

This is my favorite version by far
He has the most gentle heart❤
