For this beauty of music, a person must be beautiful inside and gentle in his soul. Both Schumann and Radu Lup alike, and to us listeners as God determines.
What an interpretation. This man is, in my mind the greatest of pianists. Such power, such delicacy from this big Romanian. I am fortunate to have experienced live performances. Captivating!
It's really tragic that his physical problems have really affected his ability to play the piano. He is a rare artist and in his physical prime, playing the piano was just not a problem for him.
Grande grande grande Lupu ! È riuscito benissimo nel rappresentare tutti i chiaroscuri dell animo tormentaro di Schumann. Grandissime doti tecniche e intelligenza interpretativa al servizio del cuore.
Pianista immenso, che ha fatto propria la Wanderung schumanniana, conducendoci insieme in questo viaggio nell'interiorità dell'inquietudine romantica di Robert
Radu Lupu, Master Poet-Pianist, gives a remarkable performance of this challenging Humoresque! Schumann, with his vivid imagination, loved to tell stories. In the hands of many pianists this tale seems to ramble on and on. But Lupu holds our interest throughout, with phrases filled with beauty & insight. The result is truly enchanting! Bravo!!
@@felixdevilliers1 To clarify: Indeed, Schumann composed " in a wonderful cyclical way". But often pianists fail to make the structure clear or the story interesting, in which case the Humoresque seems to ramble rather than maintain one's interest, imo. Cheers for Radu Lupu, the absolute master at presenting the complete story!
@@virginiabuhn9719 - In that performance by Lupu and others I have heard the Humoresque shows not the slightest sign of rambling. Are you deaf to miracles?
I just came back to this performance after some time away. It's a commanding piano technique at the service of a great musical mind playing a masterpiece by a genius. Especially in times like these, we are fortunate to be able to draw upon people like Schumann and Lupu.
Quanta poesia e brio e leggerezza e profondità ..e ironia ...c'è in questa interpretazione. Uno stupore continuo appena si apre una nuova porta . Magnifico. !
I was going to write words in homenage to this great musician . But I see I can not add anything to that is written in the comments. I write just to add my (small) presence to the general admiration for Radu Lupu, one of the fundamental pianists in my life.
He is as in-the-moment as anyone, ever. And of course the piece shows off that sublime gift to perfection. The opening theme is enthralling, transcendent. If the listener can likewise stay aware from moment to moment, the reward is happiness.
Perhaps the best recording ever made of this work. Radu Lupu is at the level of Lipatti, Rubinstein, Horowitz, Arrau, Argerich, Brendel, Richter, Sokolov, Kempff, and the rest of the piano masters of yore. RIP Maestro🙏🏼
Gripping, tender, magical, and above all, commanding. In many pianists' hands, one's imagination can be tempted to wander. Lupu compels the listener to stay with him in every moment of Schumann's adventure. Those added low b-flats sound just perfect. Thanks for the post
Rest in peace.
I'll miss you, we will miss you.
We are always in here waiting for you.
See you again.
Dear my Maestro.
For this beauty of music, a person must be beautiful inside and gentle in his soul. Both Schumann and Radu Lup alike, and to us listeners as God determines.
Robert & Lupu : the ideal measure of subtlety and emotions! No words will describe such immense loss to the world of Musicians < :((((

It rambles on and on, my foot; the pieces follow one after the other in a wonderful cyclical way. They tell one complete story.

Brahms playing Schumann, cool
Haha, you are right, Charles, he does look like Brahms!!!!!! Wonderful pianist, one of the best...
Wow, great expression !!

Eine träumerische, höchst poetische Interpretation, Eusebius spricht mit rührender lyrischer Intensität. Lupu ist ein begnadeter Pianist!

What a performance, and what a masterpiece!

He was in a class of his own.

Plus Schnabel.
Mi spiace che , nell'elenco dei grandi, spesso ( come in questo caso) si dementica forse il più grande di tutti...S. Richter !!!
Класс !!!! Ни у кого другого я не ощущала в исполнении такого душевного благородства, доброты и нежности.
