    4:59からの迫力がすごい!
    今までたくさんの人がイソップの饗宴を弾いているのを聞きましたが、貴方が一番跳ね上がるように美しい音色でした!

    Alkan wrote some amazing stuff. Shame its not played very often due to its extreme difficulties.

    this is giving off like "a dance party in hell" feeling, I feel a wide range of emotion like excitement, nerve-racking, anxiousness

    5:55 that’s the first time I heard the melody in the LH! I also love how you pronounced the Chromatic movement in the LH just before.
    Bravo!

    A very refreshing interpretation of this excellent étude. It's rare to witness such economy of pedalling. Your variation evoking the trumpeting of elephants is the only one of the many I've heard that fulfils the composer's dynamic markings. There is much to admire in this performance. Perhaps you know the Douze Preludes-Poèmes by Charles Tournemire or the intriguing piano pieces by Jehan Alain (his études or 'Lumière Qui Tombe D'Un Vasistas' for example)?

    What a pleasure to study and enjoy your interpretation of this etude! Especially your version of the XIV and XV variations (trombata) is a delight to watch, at least in my perception. Thank you a lot for sharing this video! Le Festin is one of the most playful pieces I've worked on so far, it's pure joy to go with its "weirdness" - a very fitting complement to this week's series!

    Excellent performance! I didn’t know you had so much Alkan in your repertoire.

      Well, I am not sure I would say I have these works in my "repertoire", since I just know them from the score but never actually played them. They are not the kind of music that people expect from me in concert; but my videos here are in general not from my concert repertoire, so it seems a good opportunity to present such works to a public.

    なんというかもう筆舌に尽くし難いのだけれど、演奏前のトークの感じとか、演奏中の4:43からのニコニコ余裕そうにしているところとか、なにより演奏そのものが琴線に触れる

    Great performance! In my opinion, there is nothing unattractive about this piece. It is pure ingenious perfection

      True, I was also surprised by his "contextualisation". I always found this an elegant and attractive variation series... !

    Faszinierende surrealistische Musik und wie Du sie zum Klingen bringst ist schlichtweg phänomenal!

    Very nice performance! What impressed me the most was the part at 7:09 - 7:20 , because it really does sound like dogs barking, and I think you've captured that so well in that variation.

    Lately, Alkan has become one of my favorite composers. For many years, it was Rachmaninoff and Liszt; but lately, the music of Chopin and Alkan is always on my mind, as were Rachmaninoff and Liszt

    Thanks to Chopin, in the summer of 1991 I fell in love with the piano, and in this month of October 2023, I have resumed a taste for Chopin, and for Charles Gustav Alkan.

  • @franciscojesusmoctezumacua4692
    @franciscojesusmoctezumacua4692 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love very very much piano Alkan´s sonata Op. 33, Le cuatro ages, Mov. 1 "20 Years". Is very very beautiful, romantic, and wonderful

    This Alkan composition had been used as example in the italian youtube cultural video "Lezioni di Musica - Survivorship Bias" of the channel "musicamonteverde". Is a really very very interesting video of this new interesting channel

    @robertwarwick3294 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Excellent performance, you're going to make Alkan a lot of friends! I found the variation at 3.03 very attractive and also the theme itself, slightly reminiscent in a funny way, of the theme from Paganini's 24th Caprice, both have the same kind of infectious bounce that's very memorable.

  • @franciscojesusmoctezumacua4692
    @franciscojesusmoctezumacua4692 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very beautiful and wonderful Alkan´s piano sonata Op.33. Is very modern music in 19th century, likes Musorsky

    Últimamente, Alkan se ha convertido en uno de mis compositores favoritos. Durante muchos años, lo fueron Rachmaninoff y Liszt; pero últimamente, la música de Chopin y de Alkan está siempre en mi mente, como lo fueron Rachmaninoff y Liszt

    sehr attraktiv, "so thrilling" und bestimmt nicht all zu oft in einem Klavierabend zu hören, es dürft äußerst schwer sein.
    Aber vielleicht wurde es noch zu Alkans Lebzeiten gespielt.
    Bei der Ars nova Motte von gestern fällt es mir schwer vorzustellen, eine Mönchsschola hätte sie aufgeführt, zumindest so, wie sie erdacht wurde. Selbst wenn jemand dies musiziert wie geschrieben, fällt es schwer eine zwigende Sinnhaftigkeit zu erkennen.
    Naja, vielleicht gibt es Quelle, die belegen, dass es der Tophit 1503 in allen französischen Klöstern war.

    I have recordings of this piece by eight different performers. Each recording has its own character. I didn't really think there could be some ninth different understanding of this lovely and curious piece. I was wrong! Thank you.

    What else to expect ? 😆 Esope is said to have been both subtly intelligent and very ugly : he was "of loathsome aspect... potbellied, misshapen of head, snub-nosed, swarthy, dwarfish, bandy-legged, short-armed, squint-eyed, liver-lipped-a portentous monstrosity," (source Wikipedia bit.ly/3exnXcI). Esope's "feast of tongues" (French "festin" = feast, banquet) is also a very odd story that one can for example read here bit.ly/2XNf1Jh.

    Stick with Hamelin. And he doesn't need to explain.

    • @clmbyl3717
      @clmbyl3717 7 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      Hmm I don't necessarily agree with his explainations, and for sure Hamelin's version is great but his performance is very refreshing and I think it's gorgeous !!
