The prelude is something special... It is a little window to heaven. Everything is perfect: the armony, the libitum style and the sound of piano in such a special music moment. This is wonderful on the harpsichord, but unforgettable on piano. Handel was really on the top of the possibility for that time. Schiff is a gift for us to listen Handel be played in such an exquisite way.
ninjaassassin27 I met him at a coffee shop in San Francisco some years ago. Very friendly chap, he was enjoying an espresso. I heard him perform an all Beethoven concert that evening at the symphony hall and he was fantastic. He’s a first rate musician, not a mere virtuoso.
Yes, and damn if the distinction between musician and virtuoso must be recognized more clearly. The best combination of the two to date exists in the form of Hamelin, and even that's a stretch.
In my opinion, Schiff's playing of Bach in particular is a bit dry. That's not to say I don't respect his as a musician, or that I can in any way hold a candle to his pianistic abilities. However, I think his attitude towards the pedal in Bach doesn't compliment the historical context of the period instruments. Bach wrote a lot of his keyboard music for the harpsichord, an instrument which has a lot of natural resonance despite not having a damper pedal. Using a subtle half pedal in Bach really brings out the more resonant sound that Bach would have experienced in his day, as long as you do not compromise the clean sound that comes from moto perpetuo. Also in his works for organ, the pedal should obviously be used to create the rich soundscape that we expect from a church organ piece. If you want an example of a pianist who uses a very respectable amount of pedal in Bach, Perahia is my go to. Also, I realize that literally no one asked for this paragraph but I wanna have a discussion with people so idgaf.
@@jabarzey honestly, I feel the exact opposite. Perahia is dry and not clear enough (except for his recordings of the Bach concertos), whereas with Schiff, everything is clear. you can hear every melody clearly, everything has a purpose, from accent to phrasing, you can tell it's been masterfully placed, not on a whim. if he used pedal, it would feel sluggish, overlap melodies from one another, not my cup of tea.
@@PEDRO_boaro Beethoven certainly appreciated Handel and understood why he was a great composer; the ‘favourite composer’ bit is quoted all over RUclips but is probably not the case.
@@elaineblackhurst1509why shouldn't it? Beethoven said Handel was his personal favourite various times. Just because nowadays Bach is generally perceived to be greater than Handel, doesn't mean that every great composer is contractually obliged to prefer Bach over others

Большое спасибо! По-другому посмотрел на Шиффа... Это исполнение абсолютно гениальное! Честно говоря, по глупости недооценил его раньше, но эта запись поставила всё на свои места! Какое благородство, какая игра интонаций!.. Это что-то...
I really don't care about all this controversy. This rendition by Schiff just makes my heart leap up! The iron law of performance-- does it work? Here, it sure does!
Hayek why are you bringing in the well tempered clavier like bach didnt write SO much more stuff on the piano. Caleb has a point that bach composed stuff like handle on occasion
This is so beautiful the piano's mellow sound in the menuetto sounds like an angel singing her aria of consolation. In all honesty I do believe the piano very much has the harpsichord beat here . I've always believed that music should never be judged on era for music lives in a different world. I Believe that true music should connect to someone's heart and personally I think the piano does this's much better then the harpsichord.
Interprétation très raffinée de cette suite qui en révèle toute la beauté. Andras Schiff ne fait pas partie de mes pianistes préférés ....mais ici je lève mon chapeau.
Schiff has just the right touch for this. He also understands the music so well. In this work Haendel reminds me of Scarlatti but with even greater writing and longer wind. People should stop blaming the piano for being invented in and for the romantic era. It serves Bach and Haendel better than any tinkering antique. The piano has also had time to maeander through Debussy and Ravel before returning to the great Baroque composers. Nothing could possibly enrich our musical lives more than the instrument which was perfected in the first two decades of the 19th Cent.
@@ytyt3922 Yes, it was but not what we know as such. It had much less resonance than our Steinways and Bösendorfers. Beethoven was the first composer to exploit the possibilites of a more modern instrument. And boy did he know how to make it sing. I listen to one of his sonatas almost every day. Nothing fascinates me quite as much.
The piano was invented in 1700, though it remained a novelty until JC Bach and CF Abel popularized it in the 1760s. Though early pianos were built on the same design principles as harpsichords. They didn’t appear in their modern form until the mid 19th century.
Me gusta esta interpretación del Minueto de Handel en B menor. Les recomiendo también la interpretación de Kathia Buniathisvilli. La diferencia es que esta suena muy "profesional", pero la de Kathia es más "sentimental".
There is an other version of maestro Schiff playing that suite on youtube but with a different beginning, I was wondering what is the deal with that? Did Händel write two different versions?
Andras Schiff siempre nos maravilla con sus grandes interpretaciones. En el Aria, pienso que el tema pudo haber sido tocado de manera algo más solemne - es mi modesta opinión
A mi me gusta mas cuando Schiff interpreta a Handel y a Scarlatti que al propio Bach. También pienso que el Aria en particular requería mayor solemnidad, aunque las variaciones no demasiado.
Fantastic playing! I would like to hear a recording of Schiff playing clavichord. He plays clavichord privately, which must help a lot with his interpretations on piano. I don’t think he has released anything on clavichord, which is a pity. Maybe some private recordings will get released one day.
Beautiful suite, one of the best along with 7 in G minor (with that brilliant Passacaglia) and 8 in F minor that opens with an Adagio and Fugue that's one of his best. I feel like the Menuetto could be placed before the Aria & Variations; feels slightly anti-climactic to close with it instead of the Aria.
For this piece I have the score printed in Barenreiter’s 4-volumes, in book #2. In this volume they list the 4th movement as separate from the rest of the suite, listing it in the back of the book in the appendix. My question is why did they take out the Minuet from the rest of the score? If anybody has any idea as to this I’d love to hear the historical context. Other than this, very well executed performance and very enjoyable! Thank you!
Disculpa que no conteste en Inglés, pero explicártelo se me dificulta mucho, por lo que te respondo en español: El segundo set de suites (Londres, 1733) sobrevive en diversas fuentes bibliográficas: 1. Fragmentos autógrafos de Handel. 2. Publicaciones de contemporáneos. 3. Copias manuscritos de contemporáneos de Handel. 4. Copias manuscritas alemanas preservadas en la biblioteca de Berlin. Para esta Sonata HWV 434, las ediciones Urtext como Baerenreiter o Henle tomaron como fuente dos copias contemporáneas preservadas en la librería británica, además también tomaron una impresión contemporánea publicada en Amsterdam por J. Roger y otra impresión previa anónima de 1727 (probablemente publicada por el editor John Walsh). De todas estas fuentes bibliográficas mencionadas solo la impresión anonima de 1727 incluye ese minué en G menor como movimiento final, todas las demás fuentes no lo incluyen. Por lo tanto, al no ser incluido ese minué en todas las demás fuentes, y al estar en G menor que es una tonalidad completamente distinta a todas las demás partes de la sonata, se considera que no pertenece a la sonata y que alguien distinto a Handel fue quien lo agregó al final. Por eso decidieron dejarlo en un apéndice final. Espero haberme dado a entender, es algo confuso 😅
06:52 menuet. In measure 31 (@8:28 ) we hear (D C B A) or (re do si la) and the sheet gives (C B A G) or (do si la sol). I think the interpret is correct.
Why does the prelude sound so much better here than everyone else's recordings? Is it an extra improvisation by Schiff? There is a strong melodic line from the very start in this one whereas the others just sound like a succession of chords.
Thank you so much. We are showcasing this video on our 1P2DE page for the Music with the Scores Section. Could not have a more marvellous entry. Thank you too, Master Schiff (we crossed at Wigmore Hall about Beethoven and on the sidewalk next) • denEden Agency members ARE distinctive.
Hey-O. Quick question for anyone that might be willing to answer. How did the performer know to end the Sonata as he/she did? Was it just musical intuition to know not to continue on with that run and just stop at the Fermata? Or is there a rule for traditional Baroque performing with regards to Fermata's and Repeat's? Obviously it would sound very jarring to end the piece on the A so abruptly. But why didn't Handel feel the need to put in a measure for an ending?
Hey Phomnosical, it's basically a variation on a widespread baroque structure, where a piece has an ABA structure. If it's a longer piece the composer would write out both the A and the B parts and then write down Da Capo, meaning from the head or the top of the piece, to let the player play the A part again. He then had various ways to indicate to the players where the piece should end. He could either place a segno (a sign) somewhere which would indicate the end of that section or the piece. He would then write da capo al segno (to the segno) to indicate what to look out for. Another option is a "fine" (end) marking where he would literally write "end" to indicate where to stop. A third option would be to write a separate ending, a coda, and indicate that the player should play from the top (da capo) to a certain point (indicated by coda) and then play the actual coda. The composer could also choose to indicate to start from another place than the top by placing a sign and having the player play from this sign" (Dal segno) until either a different sign or a coda or a fine. Using a repeat to only repeat a small section of the sonata can be used to replace this use of a Segno. A fermata is apparently used to replace the "fine" that one would expect to see. I've mostly come across this use in arias where there's usually a small rest after the fine or the fermata before the accompaniment picks up again.
Beautifully performed, but I think I prefer this work on harpsichord. Piano makes this suite sound more classical or romantic than baroque in my opinion.
***** This is obviously a subject of debate, but I do believe that musicians should do their best to be historically accurate. The fact of the matter is that this work was written for harpsichord, not piano, and the two aren't perfectly interchangeable. Harpsichords can make sounds that a piano could never emulate, and vice versa. With a piano, it's impossible to get exactly the sound that was intended for this piece. Baroque - style instruments in general create much brighter, more vibrant sounds than their modern counterparts. As a result of playing baroque music on modern instruments, you lose some of the essence of what the composer originally wanted listeners to experience.
***** You are correct, the original composers did want the best instruments available. However, their definition of a "good" instrument is very different from our modern definition of good. A piano is not an improved version of a harpsichord; it's a fundamentally different type of keyboard instrument. I would encourage you to listen to, for example, a baroque piece for strings, and compare recordings using period and modern instruments. I think that if you do you will notice a rather large difference. Modern string instruments are designed to be able to play slow, lyrical melodies. Baroque instruments, on the other hand, are designed to be much more sensitive and agile, allowing them to play quick counterpoint much more easily.
Exactly, and that's why I believe baroque instruments to be better suited and designed to playing in that style. (although I would not personally use the words "nervous" and "fidgeting" to describe baroque music)
+Alter Kater I do also think these great pieces like this one and Bach's partitas sound way better and deep on the harpsichord. On the piano they lose all their light and just sound like little happy scale runs.
+ClassicMusicVids Why should we care what the composer thought? Music is sound. If it sounds good, it is musically justified. This hero-worship of dead composers is puzzling to me.
Yes, also Suite No 3. in D Minor (HWV 428), Allemande, has the same figure as the Allemande of the C Minor Partita of Bach. It seems to me, that Bach has studied Handels music closely
De acuerdo a las sugerencias de la editorial Henle, los acordes de notas redondas y blancas se tocan empezando desde la nota inferior hacia arriba, y luego de regreso de arriba hacia abajo sin nunca soltar las teclas. Y cuando son dos acordes de notas negras o corcheas, se toca el primer acorde desde la nota inferior hacia arriba y a continuación el segundo acorde de arriba hacia abajo. Espero haberme dado a entender jajaja, es complicado de explicar por mensaje.
I hate it when some people compare Händel, an independent, spontaneous, dramatic, and ahead of his time musician, predecessor of romanticism (which is why Beethoven admired him so much) with the religious fanatic Bach, obsessed with fugues. Handel composed more than 50 operas, Bach none.
@@pabloalija5033 Bach era carente de sentido dramático, un fanático religioso. La Ópera es uno de los principales géneros musicales con una historia fascinante, un género extremadamente complejo por todo su esquema compositivo. Culturízate

Disculpa que no conteste en Inglés, pero explicártelo se me dificulta mucho, por lo que te respondo en español:
El segundo set de suites (Londres, 1733) sobrevive en diversas fuentes bibliográficas:

2. Publicaciones de contemporáneos.
3. Copias manuscritos de contemporáneos de Handel.
4. Copias manuscritas alemanas preservadas en la biblioteca de Berlin.
Para esta Sonata HWV 434, las ediciones Urtext como Baerenreiter o Henle tomaron como fuente dos copias contemporáneas preservadas en la librería británica, además también tomaron una impresión contemporánea publicada en Amsterdam por J. Roger y otra impresión previa anónima de 1727 (probablemente publicada por el editor John Walsh). De todas estas fuentes bibliográficas mencionadas solo la impresión anonima de 1727 incluye ese minué en G menor como movimiento final, todas las demás fuentes no lo incluyen.
Por lo tanto, al no ser incluido ese minué en todas las demás fuentes, y al estar en G menor que es una tonalidad completamente distinta a todas las demás partes de la sonata, se considera que no pertenece a la sonata y que alguien distinto a Handel fue quien lo agregó al final. Por eso decidieron dejarlo en un apéndice final.

He then had various ways to indicate to the players where the piece should end. He could either place a segno (a sign) somewhere which would indicate the end of that section or the piece. He would then write da capo al segno (to the segno) to indicate what to look out for. Another option is a "fine" (end) marking where he would literally write "end" to indicate where to stop. A third option would be to write a separate ending, a coda, and indicate that the player should play from the top (da capo) to a certain point (indicated by coda) and then play the actual coda. The composer could also choose to indicate to start from another place than the top by placing a sign and having the player play from this sign" (Dal segno) until either a different sign or a coda or a fine. Using a repeat to only repeat a small section of the sonata can be used to replace this use of a Segno. A fermata is apparently used to replace the "fine" that one would expect to see. I've mostly come across this use in arias where there's usually a small rest after the fine or the fermata before the accompaniment picks up again.

@2:44 does anyone see the resemblance to Bach’s partita no 2 in c minor capriccio?
Yes, also Suite No 3. in D Minor (HWV 428), Allemande, has the same figure as the Allemande of the C Minor Partita of Bach. It seems to me, that Bach has studied Handels music closely
@@magoit "Bach has studied Handels music closely." Reer. Snarky!
Is there anyone who can help me with the arpeggios(prelude). These are played in a specific manner.
Seems a little bit improvised to me, as was the nature of much of Baroque performance
They are rolled for full beat (eg. if chord is 4 beats long... 2 beats to roll chord up and 2 to roll down...)
De acuerdo a las sugerencias de la editorial Henle, los acordes de notas redondas y blancas se tocan empezando desde la nota inferior hacia arriba, y luego de regreso de arriba hacia abajo sin nunca soltar las teclas. Y cuando son dos acordes de notas negras o corcheas, se toca el primer acorde desde la nota inferior hacia arriba y a continuación el segundo acorde de arriba hacia abajo.
Espero haberme dado a entender jajaja, es complicado de explicar por mensaje.
Como es que gente tan vulgar como tu llega a estos videos?
Es obvio que solo eres un troll... #bloqueado
오 쉬프가 연주하니깐 부드럽네
Why do I see chords and hear passages in the prelude?
I guess because it says "arpeggio" in the beginning
3:50 reverb moment
I hate it when some people compare Händel, an independent, spontaneous, dramatic, and ahead of his time musician, predecessor of romanticism (which is why Beethoven admired him so much) with the religious fanatic Bach, obsessed with fugues. Handel composed more than 50 operas, Bach none.
@@pabloalija5033 Bach era carente de sentido dramático, un fanático religioso. La Ópera es uno de los principales géneros musicales con una historia fascinante, un género extremadamente complejo por todo su esquema compositivo. Culturízate
@@pabloalija5033 esas pasiones son tremendamente aburridas, la pasión San Mateo sirve para dormirse 😴 y de dramáticas, nada! Alguien inculto como tú que no tiene idea de ópera ni generos dramáticos habla desde la ignorancia.
i cannot han del all these keys 😩
