    There has always been a special place in my heart for Schubert's music. I had known about his long illness, but for some reason had never heard Schwanengesang until now. Valentina, your wonderful interpretation of Schubert's music, together with the lyrics, expresses the incredible depths of his physical and emotional suffering. It is the first time in my life that the music of this brilliant composer has made me weep. You are truly amazing!

    I came to Schwanengesang late- in my 70's now with failing eyesight and hearing is not the best time to hear this glorious music but one takes life as it is. I am gladdened and grateful that Val has gifted us this beautiful arrangement and interpretation which moves me very deeply. I can touch the infinite through your playing Val- thank you so much.

    How can I not enjoy your performance? I'm in awe. The first time I heard these pieces was very recently, with the new release of Harmonia Mundi's "Mein Traum," performed by Pygmalion Orchestra under Raphaël Pichon along with Stéphane Degout (baritone) and a phenomenal production (video + sound). I immediately succumbed to these masterpieces. Then, as I always do, I dug and dug more to learn the history of Schubert's Schwanengesang, and voila, I reached your RUclips site. The big difference between both interpretations, yours and Pygmalion's, yours in particular, is your hands/piano keys and your passion was able to narrate, scream, and express the desolation and agony surrounding Schubert's last composition. Thanks.

      Yes me too, plenty of pieces but Rachmaninoff's first piano sonata in particular. I can't even find a single recording on spotify, let alone the best there is which is without a doubt by Valentina. I wonder if there's some reason she isn't contractually allowed to or something ? Hope not

    These melodies seem to bring us into Schubert's fast fading health, there are simple elements but some seem regretful.There are some sweet messages, mixed with melancholy. I think that overall Schubert had some stoicism, and some sorrow. He doesn't seem angry, but rather bitter and weary. There is also a contrasted minor briskness at some points. Der Atlas, Atlas seems to carry Schubert's anger. Der Doppelgänger is a Requiem, lost hope, he realizes this is his last bit of living in this world, but since it resolves in a major chord, it is not entirely an unrelieved depression. I think having observed my father learn of his terminal state, that there is an element of shock and resignation, and the recognition that these are the last musical compositions he will write. Thankyou Valentina for taking the time to bring these to us so well interpreted.

Pourquoi oublie t on toutes les autres interprétations après l'avoir vue? C'est le grand mystère de l'appropriation de la musique par la pianiste, et c'est tout l'art de Valentina. Merci.

    Though Schubert was ill off and on for the last 6 years of his life, he also enjoyed periods of good health, traveled, gave a concert of his works, etc. And evidence suggests the last song he ever wrote is the sweet and fairly cheerful "Die Taubenpost".
    For all the sadness and disappointment in his life, Schubert also experienced a lot of joy from music, nature and his friends. At the time of his death, he'd started counterpoint lessons and was looking forward to more composing.

    It's so weird to listen to this, get to 44:06, and squint at the screen until I realized, "Oh right, this music and poem was used as a motif for the Persona 2 duology'. To think I didn't put two and two together until then.

      @eurisko618 10 лет назад +2

      I find that when playing, particularly when playing free improvisation, it always sounds and feels much better (and easier). Never played a Boesendorfer, but a few very big instruments we had at the college, were just wonderful for expressing every nuance or fortissimo, it just let the music explode from the mind and fingers.

    • @icypeanutpolo
      @icypeanutpolo 10 лет назад

      Eurisko Lontano I find it almost impossible to play anything that I improvise on an upright piano for that very reason...the lack of control, of emotive response limits me, and nothing ever sounds right. Despite the adulations of the people around me, I know it would sound so much better if I was on a Bosendorfer...would that I could!

    Messaggio d'amore
    Language: Italian (Italiano) after the German (Deutsch)
    Ruscello che mormori,
    così argenteo e chiaro,
    ti affretti verso l'amata,
    così lieto e svelto?
    Ah, fido ruscelletto,
    sii il mio messaggero,
    portale i saluti
    da me che sono lontano.
    Tutti i suoi fiori
    coltivati nel giardino,
    che con tanta grazia
    porta al petto,
    e le sue rose
    ardenti di porpora,
    ruscelletto, ravvivali
    con la tua acqua fresca.
    Quando lei sta slla riva,
    immersa nei sogni,
    e pensando a me
    inchina la testa,
    conforta la mia dolcezza
    con sguardo amico,
    dille che il suo amato
    tornerà presto.
    Quandol sole se ne va
    nella sua luce rossastra,
    culla la mia cara,
    falla addormentare.
    Mormora per lei
    dolcemente, in pace,
    sussurrado guida
    i suoi sogni verso l'amore.
