Beatrice Berrut plays her own transcription of Mahler's Adagietto from the 5th symphony.
The symphony No. 5 by Gustav Mahler was composed in 1901 and 1902, mostly during the summer months at Mahler's holiday cottage at Maiernigg. In February 1901 Mahler had suffered a sudden major hemorrhage and his doctor later told him that he had come within an hour of bleeding to death. The composer spent quite a while recuperating. He moved into his own lakeside villa in the southern Austrian province of Carinthia in June 1901. Mahler was delighted with his newfound status as the owner of a grand villa. According to friends, he could hardly believe how far he had come from his humble beginnings. He was director of the Vienna Court Opera and the principal conductor of the Vienna Philharmonic. His own music was also starting to be successful. Later in 1901 he met Alma Schindler and by the time he returned to his summer villa in summer 1902, they were married and she was expecting their first child.
The Adagietto is said to represent Mahler's love song to his wife Alma. According to a letter she wrote to Willem Mengelberg, the composer left a small poem:
Wie ich Dich liebe, Du meine Sonne,
ich kann mit Worten Dir's nicht sagen.
Nur meine Sehnsucht kann ich Dir klagen
und meine Liebe, meine Wonne!
(In which way I love you, my sunbeam,
I cannot tell you with words.
Only my longing, my love and my bliss
can I with anguish declare.)
Live in Saxon (Switzerland), Espace Consonance. Video by Steve Gilloz.

Mahler has been my favorite composer all my life and i was slightly anxious how a piano transcription could render the sound of the famous adagietto. And you've done it. This is magnificient and haunting. This is so expressive and respects so well the soul of Mahler's music. A huge bravissimo to you. A wonderful discovery.
Super happy to read that, thank you for your nice words :) Best wishes, Beatrice
Chills, tears and goosebumps, a truly stunning transcription.
Thank you for your moving words! Take care, Beatrice
Before listening I was sceptical how such a wonderful string piece could be played on piano. I am very impressed. Sounds like written for piano. Very, very nice! Brava!
Actually it started as a piano piece.....
@@adrianfundescu5407 That interests me very much (see my remark above). Could you give us some references to its origin as a piano piece? Has the manuscript survived, or is its origin as a piano piece reported by Mahler or those around him? Thanks in advance. Michael Troke.
@@michaeltroke7239 I think he is talking about the fact that Mahler composed at the piano most of the time before orchestrating
It's amazing how you breathe life into the piano and compositions... It's like you and the piano are ONE...Your performances hit me so hard!!. Absolutely magnificent!!
Thank you very much - it is nice to read such a warm comment! Best wishes, Beatrice
How beatifully the Adagietto is played in this transcription by the pianist Beatrice Berrut. I remember it vividly in the film version of Death in Venice. My favorite movement of Mahler's 5th is strangly and oddly enough the Rondo Finale, it is filled with such Mozartian joy of spirit through the repeated main theme that it is in deep contrast to the 6th, of course the death of his daughter had happened. Thank you for posting such a lovely performance of the Adagietto.
Bravo! The first time I ever heard the original piece I was struggling to get my 3-month old to sleep. A few years later now but this interpretation captures the love and emotion so well.
This is such a nice piece for a child to listen to, it is a strength in one's life to know that such beauty exists and is always ready to shelter one when needed :) best wishes to you and your child, Beatrice
So beautifully played. I’m so used to hearing an orchestra playing this, I didn’t think it would sound great on piano. But you played it so beautifully. Thank you. 😊
Dear Ingrid, thank you for your nice words! I loved the piece so much I could resign to miss out on it, so I transcribed it :)) Best wishes to you and take care !
I have listened three times now and feel certain this is the absolute best transcription of the symphonic movement - passion, dynamics, pacing, tension, and orchestral richness. The base - with pedaling - is appropriately haunting.
Dear Charles, so good to read this, thank you ! I have posted another movement of Mahler, maybe you'll enjoy it too. Take care, and best wishes ! Beatrice
Probably the most beautifull arrangement of the Adagietto i ever heard. Just beautifull. Greetings from 🇦🇷
Hi Lucas, thank you for your kind words regarding my arrangement! I am very happy if you enjoyed it. With all good wishes, Beatrice
If there is a way of showing deeper understanding of Mahler's music in general, and then of this very piece of music in particular, this outstanding piano performance is the undoubtful proof of it. All the important finest musical texture, dynamics, harmonic resolving, leeding lines and blending colours make an listener even more engaged in comprehending and experiencing the essence of Mahler's musical message to the mankind.
Dear Vanja, thanks a lot for your very nice lines. It is very encouraging to read such comments ! Wishing you all the best, Beatrice
@@BeatriceBerrut Dear Beatrice, thank you for your generous answer, I am so grateful that internet enables us to see and hear valuable efforts of extraordinary artists in delivering artistic achievements of the first class to the wider audience worldwide. Despite being a musician myself, just as a fan of musical arts I find exciting if one can extract as much from potentials of some musical piece as you certainly did in this transcription of yours. This particular movement of Mahler's symphonic masterpiece is undoubtfully the first piece of music that an average listener associates with the name of the composer, in many cases the only one too. Therefore we can take for granted the statement that it contains basic principles of Mahler's musical language, although it is not completely true. Anyway, the difficulties of transferring slow developing strings texture to piano - an instrument with completely different tone production system - is a task of many layers, not to mention the specific late romantic search for complex harmonies coming out from individual horizontal melodic lines, forming thus by interweaving with each other, exchanges between consonant and dissonant chords. Therefore I appreciate your rendition even more, because I find it the most complete of all similar attempts I used to hear so far, where you expressed all the existing longing pain incorporated in those famous Mahler's bars, without losing any of its colour, swaying moods and main stones of compositional architecture. Thank you very much for this beautiful expression of your musicality and supreme pianism!
Thank you so much for posting the transcription! You’re ability to reflect Mahler’s symphony on the piano is mesmerizing. Although I have watched this video several times, I am always in awe at your interpretation and the emotion put into it. I am definitely going to pre order this piece so I can eventually play it with my own hands. Thank you for this amazing transcription once again.
Thanks a lot for your very kind message ! I wish you a lot of pleasure by playing it, and send you my best wishes ! Beatrice
Maybe it's the equal-temperament tuning, but MY WORD...the dissonances! Each one tears the heart anew. He really was a madman, wasn't he?
Yes indeed! The piano version makes the dissonances very sharp, it also surprised me when I started transcribing it… best wishes, Beatrice
Il XX secolo inizia proprio così. Brava Beatrice, straordinaria esecuzione. Grazie
Grazie a lei :) Beatrice
I have no words to express the deepness and passion of your rendition, and the essence of the transcription.
Im in love.
Hope you publish it soon!!!!!
Let us know, please.
Besos
Thank you for your kind lines ! If everything goes to plan, the score will be published on April 25th. I’ll post the link to the publisher’s website in the video description once it is official !
All best wishes to you, Beatrice
So beautiful: the arrangement and the performance. Very moving.
Thanks ✨☺️
A most intelligent and well conceived transcription, played in a perfectly balanced, expressive and well-toned way on very well voiced piano.
Amazing sound and playing of this wonderful piece heard from a new perspective. And I believe Ms Berrut does her own transcriptions… brilliant!
Dear Basil, yes the transcriptions are mine :) thanks for your lines and best wishes ! Beatrice
What a wonderful transcription and interpretation. My mind got captivated by this harmony from the very beginning. Thanks, miss BB.
No words…
Absolutely beautiful !
Many thanks!
Thank you so much! Best wishes, Beatrice
Wow!!! Amazing performance! You are so good at conveying the devastating emotions of this piece in your playing and transcribing. You are truly a blessing
Thank you for your lovely message and happy new year ! Best wishes
Congratulations on the wonderful interpretation 🍀 Mahler and Bruckner have only one fault, they neglected the piano. You prove how beautiful such piano works would have sounded 😊
the brahms-esque density of the voicings is exquisite, mahler could not have transcribed it better, gorgeous!
Thank you so much :)) best regards, Beatrice
An absolute feast of beautiful textures and harmonies. Thank you
C'est à peine si je connaissais Mahler, ni Beatrice Berrut : quelle découverte ! Le piano est un instrument symphonique à lui seul. Merci Madame.
Merci, je suis ravie si cela vous a plu! Très cordialement, Beatrice
Je suis impressionné par la pianiste qui rend parfaitement justice a cette musique céleste, quelle belle sonorité!
Merci beaucoup ! Je suis ravie si vous avez eu du plaisir à écouter ma transcription… meilleurs vœux, Beatrice
The Adagietto introduced me to the world of classical music, a world i knew existed but hadn’t cared to visit before. I know not whether this version is technically perfect, or if Mahler would have liked it. I do know how it makes me feel. To me, it is as perfect as i could imagine. It feels right. It’s profoundly beautiful. It conveys both the ecstacy of being in love and the anxiety of fearing rejection by the one you feel you can no longer live without. I cannot help be moved by it. Wonderful! Thank you so, so much!
Thank you for this nice and emotional comment! I totally agree with you on the complicated and ambiguous feelings the Adagietto is about. Best wishes, Beatrice
@@BeatriceBerrut You made it easy for me to open my heart. Mahler’s music helped me through a rough period in my life, and i would have never thought it possible for a single instrument to take me on the same emotional rollercoaster as the orchestral version of the Adagietto, but you did it! I wish you well. Take good care of your health. And who knows, when the pandemic is finally over, and you can perform again in front of live audiences, i might be so lucky to get a seat and hear you play.
Magnifique! Pas facile de donner au seul piano toutes les nuances subtiles de cette oeuvre symphonique, c'est superbe! vous y arrivez très bien et nous retrouvons sous vos doigts le côté aérien de cette oeuvre. MERCI!
Merci à vous pour votre gentil message ! Meilleurs vœux, Beatrice
Excellent !!!!!! Beatrice!!!
Wonderful... both the transcrition as well as the performance... such lovely music... thank you Mrs. Berrut...
Thank you for your kind lines !! Wishing you all the best, Beatrice
I did a reduction of the full score of this piece to short score SATB, a few years ago, preserving every note of the original (with some doubling up); and to my surprise, it could be played straight away as a romantic piano piece, falling perfectly under the fingers. A musicologist could tell us if this is so or not; but I concluded that Mahler probably wrote this at the piano, then orchestrated it? In any case, this is a beautiful performance, that preserves the soul of the music. Many thanks.
It is funny you mention that, because by transcribing some other works by him, I always came to the same conclusion : they all seem to have been written for piano :) He indeed used to play his symphonies on the piano, but hard to tell how he really thought, an orchestrated piano, or a reduced orchestra? Anyways, mind-blowing music. Best wishes, Beatrice
Stunning. Wow... Already the harmony was impressive with strings.. but with piano it shines in a whole new light and the way you play it. Magnificent
What a beautiful sound of piano!
Excellent, I have no words to express how great this transcription of one of Mahler's most beautiful adagios is, I can only say: beautiful and very expressive, thank you Beatrice Berrut
Hi, nice to read you and thank you for your really kind message ! All best wishes to you, Beatrice
Sublime...!
Wonderful transcription - wonderful interpretation!
Miss Berrut, you are a fantastic pianist and very pretty. Greetings from Brazil.
I love this interpretation and transcription very natural and close to feeling of original version it’a best ever i heard thank you !
Thank you, that is very kind of you ! Best wishes, Beatrice
I just bought in tears.Thank you.
Wow. She transported me to another world.
That's what music is here for 🤗 super happy you enjoyed the performance and sending you many greetings !
I've just ordered your transcription. I await its arrival in the mail with great anticipation!
Lovely! I wish you a lot of pleasure and of success with it :) best wishes, Beatrice
Arrived home this eve to find the postman had delivered my (already cherished!) copy of Maestra Berrut's wonderful transcription of this evergreen orchestral favourite. Christmas has come early for me and I foretell many pleasurable late nights at the piano learning this piece.
This is great, I am happy you got your copy and wish you a lot of pleasure and of success in your endeavors ! Best wishes, Beatrice
As a piano transcription I think Busoni would have been proud with the richness and intensity of sound, quite beautiful, thank you !
Thank you for your kind comments ! Take care and best wishes ! BB
@@BeatriceBerrut Look forward to your concert on Sunday in Eijsden! My wife and I are friends and both past students of Peter Caelen.
Excellent! See you there!
Undescribable feeling of mine as I listened. Her expression, interpretations, her beauty
I'm positive we have similar emotional experiences during this piece. Fantastic job, thank you.
Magnifique transcription. Magnifique interprétation. Magnifique Artiste. On ressort un peu différent de cette expérience musicale. Merci, merci... merci !
Ca me va droit au coeur
Truly beautiful!!
Thank you 😊
Außergewöhnliche! Sehr schönen Transkription und Performance. Sie kam vom Himmel. Danke schön...
Vielen Dank für diese netten Zeilen! Ihnen alles Gute :) Beatrice
Performance is Leistung in German
You did a very difficult but, in my opinionion, fully successful work. And you were also well able to play it in the best way. So thank You so much. 👏👏👏👏👏
Agreed!
Thank you for your kind message and best wishes! Beatrice
Zo mooi zo mooi Beatrice met zoveel gevoel in je spel.
Amazing.
Well, I couldn't get a better compliment than from the master himself ;) Best wishes, Beatrice
Absolument sublime, Merci.
Merci à vous, ça me fait très plaisir. Meilleurs voeux, Beatrice

Est-ce qu'un disque est prévu ?
Oui, il est enregistré et il sortira en février 2022 :)

Thank you very much and best wishes 😊🎶
Dear Mahler and you touched my soul deeply
I am glad we did :) many greetings ! Beatrice
Absolument merveilleux : vite, un disque !!!!!!!
Il arrive ;)
Like many others, I have collected many piano transcriptions of Adagietto, but this is the one I will hope and wait for. It is magnificent.....Please add me to your list of those waiting to hear it is in print....Thank you
My only issue w/ Alexandre Tharaoud's transcription is it gets a bit virtuo-esque and in the process it loses the veil of thin, bare beauty of the work. That's not to say it's not beautiful in its own right but I just would not put it in this category of "Adagietto" . . . it's the same melody. It's just a different song.
Dear Claire,
Nice to read you ! If things go as planned, it will be published on April 25th 🤩! I’ll post it here in the video description.
All the best to you in the meantime, Beatrice
I do agree !
ONE OF BEST THINGS I EVER LISTENED!!!
Thank you so much ! You made my day :) Best wishes, Beatrice
This is the Beatrice Berrut we have come to love and admire. With a strong command of the piano, it makes me think of a young Argerich.
Thank you - you really make me blush :))
c'est magnifique! trop beau ! Si délicieux à écouter!
Si délicieux à écouter!

¡Qué hermosa interpretación! Felicitaciones para Beatrice Berrut. Siempre me ha fascinado esta inigualable pieza de Mahler, la transcripción para piano es increíble y la pianista transmite emoción, belleza y profundidad. ¡Me encanta!
This is the best piano version of Mahler 5 adagio that I have heard.
That's very kind of you! Glad to read that :) Warm wishes, Beatrice
This is really good.
Escuche esta interpretación ayer, y no he podido dejar de escucharla una y otra vez, me encanta la musica, me encanta mahler. Beatrice te felicito por la gran demostración de sensibilidad y ejecución brillante.
Thank you Patricio for your kind lines ! I am happy to read you enjoyed the video. All best wishes to you, Beatrice
Beautiful performance of a beatiful transcription, it must be difficult to obtain such a convincing "orchestral" legato on the piano
Thank you for your message - nice to read you liked it ! Many greetings ✨ Beatrice
Works like this keep me from quitting the piano
Very nice fantastic !
as other taste as then orchestration!
I like this sound !!!
Tks

@@BeatriceBerrut Thank you very much. I uploaded a reduction ofPurcel's Dido & Aeneas and Albinoni's adagio, maybe you'll like it (ruclips.net/video/4mVCHn_Fkqs/видео.html)... :-)
Good day and look forward to continue and hear any new video of you, everytime it's top notch!!
Magnificent! You make this sound like a piece that was meant to be for piano, not like a transcription at all. Easy to forget this is from a wonderful symphony, since you make it sound so good on the piano and hang together so well. I have heard fine orchestral renditions and even organ versions, but your version is now my favorite. If Mahler wrote the original Adagietto as a love song to his wife, then this transcription should be a love song to you. So glad I found this; thank you.
Dear Julian, your words sound like honey :) Thank you so much for reaching out. I am more than happy if my transcription sounds right to you. Take care and with all good wishes, Beatrice
@@BeatriceBerrut If my words sound like honey, they are still but a pale shadow of your glorious music. I listen to this piece often; thank you so much for making it.
Mahler siempre me conmueve, lloro muchísimo con su deliciosa música celestial.
Wonderful transcription. Beautifully played.
Thank you! Best wishes, Beatrice
Emocionante versión llena de expresión y sensibilidad.Enhorabuena Beatrice!!
Thanks a lot, glad you liked it!
Exquisitely performed, and beyond..!
Exceptionnel, merci beaucoup.
Merci à vous et meilleurs voeux! Beatrice
Merveilleux...Je viens vous voir à la Roque pour entendre cette superbe transcription et le reste de votre programme qui m'intéresse beaucoup !
J'en suis ravie ! Nous nous verrons donc à la Roque. Mille bonnes choses à vous en attendant, Beatrice
Je suis tellement heureuse de trouver un jeune pianiste vivant qui place avec intelligence, sensibilité et esthétique, et pas seulement force, vitesse et flash .... Merci beaucoup, Mme B ... je vous ai trouvé chez Schubert vous jouer avec un violoncelliste, aussi merveilleux, j'oublie son nom. Merci, merci et Bravo!
Merci à vous de votre gentil message ! Meilleurs vœux :)
@@BeatriceBerrut thank you B, its so lovely to get a reply...i sent this to my brother who is a solid amateur pianist, he asked me if this is your arrangement? Is it?
I hope someday you can play in SD...we have a new conductor of the symphony ad also the La Jolla music society has a concert season, they have brought Schiff, Perahia, and Aimard (i may have his name a little wrong) so you would be in good company! Merci!
This is my arrangement indeed :) If I happen to play in the USA again, I'll let you know. Best wishes, BB
Tout simplement époustouflant !
Merci ! Trop sympa :) Meilleurs voeux, Beatrice
Exquisite!
Thank you.

Ne conoscevo solo l'originale nel contesto della V Sinfonia. Ma anche nella trascrizione pianistica più lo ascolto e più diventa meravigliosamente bello grazie alla stupenda interpretazione di Beatrice Berrut. Non ho le parole adatte per esprimere i complimenti alla pianista, tra l'altro anche bellissima.
Grazie per il suo messaggio gentile, sono contento se la mia trascrizione che li piace! Tanti auguri, Beatrice
Please publish the sheet so that we can all play it !!
I sure will! I just need to write it down :) Once it's done I'll keep you posted. Best wishes, Beatrice
Very beautiful and impressive playing 🤟🏻 as usual .....
LOVE IT!
Thanks a lot!
Wonderful transcription and playing!!!
Shes an extraordinary player. Lovely ... She makes me think that Mueller wrote this for the piano and then for the orchestra later. I’m captivated as every note means something to this pianist! 🎶🎶😇😇😇
Thank you for your nice words! Mahler's music is well suited for the piano indeed :) all best wishes, BB
I've just subscribed to your YT channel with the specific intention of being notified when this wonderful transcription of yours becomes available for purchase. I'm currently learning a transcription which is referenced *1998 Edition Peters No 7477* with a short editorial by Ian Flint. it's very nice and as with other transcriptions more or less follows the orchestral score quite faithfully but your very generous reading is quite magnificent and transforms the piece into a worthy individual entity for any repertoire.
Brava, Maestra!
Thank you for your kind message ! If things go according to plan, the transcription will be published on April 25th of this year 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻I’ll post the link once it is on the publisher’s website. Best wishes ☺️ Beatrice
Just stunningly well beautiful! That said myself even though the phrasing demands it I would not speed up in the movement phrases because part of the beauty of this piece is in hearing one note . . . in contrast to the notes behind it and in front of it and so even though the phrasing kind of calls for it, it I would probably play all the passages with movement a little bit slower. But other than this the voicing is superb! I've probably listened to this 25 times it's gorgeous. I never thought this piece could be done on the piano and you've pulled it off magnificently I'm so impressed!!!
Dear Ken, thanks a lot for your nice and interesting message ! It is great to read you enjoyed the transcription:) sending you my best wishes, Beatrice
Excellent!!! Beautifull ! Woman pianist!!!!!
Dear Beatrice, for two years I have been amazed and deeply touched by your incredible and emotional transcription of Mahler's masterpiece. To me this is the most beautiful piano rendition of all time. I listen to it often and each time am moved to tears at the beauty of the world. I have been quietly and patiently hoping that you would publish the sheet music for all these years, as it has become a life dream of mine to be able to play as you do. If there's anything I can do - send a pre-payment to show my support, or anything else - please let me know. I don't mean to rush you, but it would really mean the whole world to me. Thank you so, so much. 🤍
I,too have been waiting for years. Being such a valued transcription, I can't imagine any publisher not wanting to publish this work. On the other hand, she could publish the work herself and reap the profits for all the hard work.
Hi dear Clara, thank you for your very moving message ! The score will be published this year :) I’ll keep you posted here ! All best wishes, Beatrice
