Cyprien Katsaris - Goodbye Mr. Rachmaninov (audio + sheet music)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 дек 2013
- Cyprien Katsaris is one of those rare pianists whose technique, interpretive acumen, and intuitive sense combine to astonish his listeners. Typically, he divulges a uniquely eccentric manner at the keyboard: he smiles, gestures oddly with a free hand, frequently looks away from the piano during the thorniest passages, and often rises as he's striking the last chord. Katsaris possesses a broad repertory, taking in works by J.S. Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Schumann, Mendelssohn, Chopin, Liszt, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov, Prokofiev, Messiaen, and countless others. He is also a composer of some note, too, having written original works for piano, and transcriptions of well-known orchestral works for piano and cadenzas for various Mozart piano concertos. Katsaris has made numerous recordings over the years for many labels, including BMG/RCA, DG, Decca, EMI, Sony Classical, Telefunken, and Warner.
Cyprien Katsaris was born in Marseilles, France, on May 5, 1951. Raised in Cameroon, Africa, he began playing the piano at four. His advanced piano studies were at the Paris Conservatory under Monique de la Bruchollerie and Aline van Barentzen. He also studied chamber music performance there with René Leroy and Jean Hubeau. Katsaris captured first prize at the Conservatory in both piano (1969) and chamber music (1970).
Though he was a seasoned concert artist by the early '70s (his Paris debut was in 1966 at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, playing the Liszt Hungarian Fantasy), his breakthrough came in 1974 when he won the Cziffra Competition in Versailles. Katsaris was thereafter in demand as soloist and recitalist at the most prestigious venues across the globe. In 1977 he was an appointed music director of the Festival International Echternach, serving until 2007. The following year he was chosen as soloist at the inaugural concerts of the Mexico City Philharmonic Orchestra, including for a series of concerts on tour. That same year he gave his U.S. debut with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra under Antal Dorati.
By the late '70s he was also making recordings, the first major one a 1980 Telefunken LP of solo Liszt compositions. Katsaris won three Grand Prix du Disque awards for Teldec recordings of Chopin (1985) and Liszt (1984 and 1989). In 1992 Katsaris appeared on Japanese TV in a 13-part series devoted to Chopin. In the new century Katsaris remains active: among his more memorable concerts was his appearance at the Beijing National Center for the Performing Arts in conjunction with the 2008 Olympics.

Wow... Didn't know that I have been "featured" as a pianist by any person other than myself on RUclips. Thank you "GSarsi" for the video and sheet music and for "presenting" this wonderfull piece to so much more people than my original post had (where there is only the music)!
You're very welcome. And that's "GSarci", by the way. :)
Oh... sorry for that. How can I get in touch with you?
Don't worry, just stay tuned for more. ;)
Are there any pieces you would recommend to play before starting with this or tipps for practicing?
For learning the techniques in an easier way. I play the pianao for 11 years but i am often over-enthusiastic with new pieces. ty
+notwiseenough
I'll simply advise you to practice the piece slowly but surely.
This pianist has a really good sense of polyphony!
Katsis is amazing

@@donnytello1544 Katsaris is not performing in this video
@@Seenall I know I realized after that kat saris was the composer and the performer was someone else 💀
@@donnytello1544yes, the performer is dmitris chris... something after that
Sounds like a Rachmaninoff-ized Tchaikovsky June.
so true!
+jabekens - YES THIS IS A TOTAL RIPOFF OF TCHAIKOVSKY, A FANTASY ON "JUNE" - HE SHOULD AT LEAST GIVE PETER SOME CREDIT........
It's more of inspiration moreso than ripping off...
Rip-off is a pessimistic approach, I'll say that.
Yeah, but then what is the purpose of a composer? To imitate others or be original? #ItsStillARipoff
I didn't know Katsaris was also a composer. Love his Mozart.
He is quite a prolific one, too.
Like Hamelin
A beautiful eulogy for Rachmaninoff... Capturing his style in a nutshell...
A well composed tribute. The obvious reference to Tchaikovsky is a nod to the (romantic Russian) tradition where Mr. R. came from. The central section is purely R-esque, both in technique and harmonic treatment. On the whole, the piece is virtuosic, memorable, though a little cheesy. Ideal for an encore. What's not to like?
I love the polyrhythem combined with the romantic swell and gestures
1:55 i can't put words on this. It's so f*cking beautiful.
it looks like a fucking fun to play that part xD
that climax made me shed a tear...
Beautiful piece.........I saw both Chopin and Rachmaninov in the music.......Homage to both maestros...................Thank you for making life beautiful.
This is really gorgeous. I love how he blends polyphonic and homophonic textures, too. Great stuff.
I feel the jazzy tributes everywhere in this, both in the writing and performance. Excellent job following each line and voice carefully, this is a masterwork
This is brilliant. Being able to voice notes like that is what separates true pianists from simple keyboard players
How beautiful, I posted it in Rachmaninov group and everyone loves it.
On what platform can I join such groups? There are some on Reddit, I know but I have only joined communities.
Rachmaninov ???
Velmi těžká mollova skladba,
ale nádherna a bravurne podana
posluchačům! 👍👌❤️
A really elegant homage made in full compliance with the Vocalise and the Second Piano Concerto. Started as a really witty parody on the dull side of Tchaikovsky and later unleashed Rachmaninov’s ingenuity. No, seriously. One of the best homages.
F1F1S, this is not Rachmaninoff, not for a second. Not a cent. I hear only Tchaikovsky
Russian Things look in detail, all the chromatic movement, the polyphony and the tragic aspect. He understand Rachmaninoff style
@@victorsimon5749 Absolutely not. This is not Rachmaninov. Dull
@@victorsimon5749 i know all Rach music and this is not him
Russian Things well you are deaf
I’ve just discovered your channel and wanted to thank you for sharing these lesser-known masterpieces with the world, and for the amazing background information that you provide!
You're welcome, fam.
A beautiful homage to Rachmaninoff, tremendously skilful in composition and playing.
A great, fabulous compilation . Love it thank you so much for sharing. 👍👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🍾🥂
Beautiful ! Thank you for posting !
Wow! This was beautiful!
Le début de ce morceaux me fait penser à la barcarolle de Tchaïkovski (saison juin). Ensuite on retrouve le lyrisme de Rachmaninov. C'est une très belle pièce, très romantique et très émouvante. Bravo Cyprien Katsaris.
So wonderful!
I loved the several styles this composition went through, and that ending was gorgeous. Well done!
Practicing 40 hours to be able to play this.
2:11 reminds me of Stanchisky's nocturne
Il s'agit d'une dumka de Tchaïkowsky mise à la sauce Rachmaninov. On est tous des kleptomanes quand on compose, mais il faut cacher ses larcins mieux que ça, et piquer d'autres idées ailleurs pour mieux brouiller les pistes. Ceci dit, c'est très bien fait et très bien joué.
What a sweet little pastiche, I love it.
Great playing and good sound from the Boston Piano.
Wow what a treasure...thanks for sharing. I have already started working on the hard parts. :)
Fantastic music!
Sounds beautiful
Great video! Thanks for uploading
Merci Mr Katsaris
extraordinary .....
Bellissimo ! Bravo 👏🏻è difficile !!!
Bravooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo very beautiful.
This is heavenly
Fabuleux, je ne connaissais pas.
Thank you❤
thats some hard piece of beautiful music.
This is a great farewell
Genius!
Good morning "Goodbye Mr. Rachmaninov"
What a Marvel of Music...!
Bravo
First and foremost is just great 👍🏻. I heard sounds of Tchaikovsky( on the beginning) and Rachmaninov, some of his preludes.
Muy bonita pieza...
Of course the Tchaikovsky June reference is obvious. However, the part that jumps out to me is the reference to the Rachmaninoff Cello Sonata, which is one of my favorite chamber works to play.
Super Composizione....
muy bien, en todo momento escuche a rachmaninoff, sorprendente, copiaste hasta las estructuras armónicas y de estilo del compositor.... encantado....
Like the part that follows minute 2. Very good.
Good morning, mr. Tchaikovsky:)
This is so nice!
"It is only to say good night to Rachmaninov music lulls him his sleep smoothly and beautiful dream ". Quote. Rosalie LEVACQUE
Decent homage.
I think it sounds of course like Rachmaninoff but there is still an original touch and original ideas in it! I like that people also try to compose tonal even though it is really hard.
Oh god
I love your comments guys here!!!! I totally concur ...nothing else to say. Thanks for uploading this.
You're welcome. :D
thanks thanks
Like "Barkarola" by Tchajkovsky from Seasons, June.

💜💜💜........................👏👏👏.
I'm assuming he wrote this as an elegy to Rachmaninov. If so, it couldn't be better!

@@gabindupuy6036 ah ok you're right, thank you! ;)
It's the first time I am seeing it! Can anyone explain what is the historical context of this music?
Katsaris, Volodos and Cziffra. The three iron pellets.
On this day
Main theme has taken from the famous Soviet song. Forgot it's name.
This song reminds me of Chopin's nocturne op 48 no 1
Напоминает "Баркаролу"П.Чайковского.Рахманинова.
The title says, "goodbye Mr. Rachmaninoff", why? What's the story behind?
I am an avid fan of Rachmaninoff, including a pianist capable of playing one of his works like the prelude Opus 3 N° 2
(C sharp minor) I would be grateful if someone could explain.
Theres not much information about it but I’m guessing its something like a “hommage” to rachmaninoff
Just a rendition. There were nothing specially tragic in the Mr. Rachmaninov's final day in 1943. 70 y.o., yes, a bit early but not so much.
It's a piece in honor of Rachmaninov, Katsaris wrote this hommage in a similiar style Rachmaninov himself would write in. It's a condolences to his death in other words. As the piece's name suggests.
Really similar also to the Cancion by De Falla
Mmmmm? 😲🤨🤔😯

*Rachmaninov has left (or joined, however you want to think about it) the chat*
(no offence).
Is it just me or the ending doesn't quite match up with the score? Since I've found this piece, I always asked What is he playing in the end arpeggios because there is like one more that't added and it's not on the score
Correct.
hmm why goodbye.. :o seems intuition how someone may be telling me this.. :(
Could i find this score?
you can find it in en.scorser.com
So what is this piece typically about? I mean what's with the title? someone explain ty.
This may seem dumb but how do u use enscorer or whatever the sheet music is from, every time I try to download the pdf it is only ever the the first page or half of the first page. How do I get the rest.
Oh no, that doesn't look good. Try to search for the sheet music here: drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1qyEoTp-0RbyofIb9RnUoS8Bdw-iONsR4 then tell me if you still get the same problem. :)
The download link for the sheet music on the page that is linked to in the comments is broken - Is there a place where I can buy or download the sheet music for this piece? I wasn't able to find a place where I could buy the music on Google or Amazon.
The site seems to be down.
But you can look it up in our scores folder: drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1qyEoTp-0RbyofIb9RnUoS8Bdw-iONsR4
@@thenameisgsarci Thank you so much!! For some reason I wasn't able to use the search function but I was able to manually find it.
You need big hands if you want to play all the chords legato 😬
Who is the composer ?
Katsaris
La barcarola XD
So who is the composer??
Its Katsaris
Beautiful piece, but I don't know why this sounds like Tchaikovsky.....

From here and there made "own piece" 😂😂😂😂
I confess that i fail to understand the big idea of this.
How so
This is look like Erik Satie
sembra un plagio ideologico della barcarola di Tchaykowskij
3:54
1:25 the time signature is wrong, it should be 3 halves. 6 quarters is like 6 eights
And in the second-last bar the ottava bracket should be marked 15, not 16. Just since we are picking up on these things.
Tom Russle Wrong, I'm guessing you don't know basic theory. 6/4 time signature is split into two dotted minims as the main beat. You could have take two seconds to Google this but being a goon>knowledgeable these days.
Lucifer Look at that first bar marked as 6/4. If it was truly meant to be 6/4 (which indeed would be two dotted minims in the bar as you say) time then the last six chords in the right hand of that bar would not have been grouped as two and then four. They would have engraved as a single set of six quaver-length chords. Thus with the quavers in the surrounding bars in 4/4 time grouped as they are, the context suggests that the time signature of 6/4 is wrong and should be 3/2 rather than the alternative which would be that the engraving is incorrect. Nonetheless the time signature and engraving details are inconsistent.
I mean i agree but this is so pedantic. Sure 3/2 is the more correct way but 6/4 is essentially the same thing. It doesnt make it unreadable. Its basically like writing 8/8 instead of 4/4. The reason 3/2 is more correct is because most of the time the lowest common denominator is used. The octave bass note also outline the 3/2 which give the eye big bright markers about the whereabouts of the main beats...which in turn makes things easier to read
Its not like the time signature says 4/4 instead of 6/4...then you would have a wrong time signature lol
Not finding this very Rachmaninovian at all, if that was the intention.
Indeed! So true
Me neither, but it’s nice, though
Well, some measures seem to come almost directly from the Rach piano concertos
Are people laughing at 1:33? If so, what rudeness!
I think they're coughing. As freaking usual at every freaking concert ever.
