my piano teachers have always been like, *FUCKING SIT UP STRAIGHT!!* but this guy is just leaning back in his chair, taking a load off, nailing those articulations and rubato
i know what you are saying...i think thats the same case with everybody who has ever played piano, but like somobody said - that`s why i dont have problems with my back
Yes, look at Glenn Gould who also sat with a bad posture, and listen to how much pain he felt and he looked awful. Eventually it will affect playing, too, besides the pain.
@@martinesavard1246 yeah, this is really easy to hammer note wise, but actually interpreting it requires almost a Schiff touch, it's so delicate to the point where it's nearly impossible to be happy with it when I play.
I find the way he sits at the piano very shocking, but I think his interpretation of this piece is absolutely amazing. It sounds really beautiful. He barely hits the keys to get exactly the sound he wants. So difficult to do. He is really good at playing Bach, but he is just amazing at playing Schubert.
Shocking, yes, he will look as bad as Glenn Gould over the years, terrible for him. And he will have a lot of pain, even virtuoso have backs that will complain sooner or later. No reason for this. It doesn't look good, either.
@@leonardmartin6048 A man of taste. I just listened it . . . this version here is good but more "regular". Horowitz shows it in a way so interesting but nonethe less beautiful...
Very few can play Schubert with this sensitivity . His variety of tone might be called fussy here by some but it has more charm than many achieve in a lifetime . His color, pedaling and ability to get just the exact dynamic he wants show like Andrewsky he is a very thoughtful pianist ! Look at how he plays that C with a straight finger - he can do that as few of you commenting will ever be able to o because his instincts , practice and training have given him experience and knowledge of a the very few !
There is Beethoven and Mozart and I adore them both, but Schubert I love, there is something with Schubert’s music that I can relate to in everyday life, it is simple, but it always tells me something, teaches me something and has a story to tell. That young man was something special!
I love the way that he looks at the keyboard as though he is concentrating on exploring the music to see if he can discover something new. As for his general appearance ... I simply feel that some people have more than their fair share of blessings...looks and talent in one individual is just WRONG haha!
It's a simple little piece but what a jewel! And with David Fray's interpretation, from playful, it becomes spiritual, meditative. I just can't stop listening to this. I have the feeling David Fray is an intrinsically spiritual person. He gets the meditative juice from Bach and here well, Schubert!
0000The way David plays doesn't matter. If you are troubled with his position, don't look. Open your hears, your mind, your sensitivity and your all body and enjoy something very special. Thank God to have created someone who can do music like David. (Mecia61)
I agree, and after watching him play a couple of other times, I think he's sitting back in the chair as a way of keeping back from the instrument, as in those other performances he was quite hunched over.
My favorite version, perfectly played. I wonder, what kind of emotions and thoughts that Schubert felt when he composed this. I am so lucky to find this in a cold winter day. I tasted my coffee then closed my eyes and listened this. I stripped away the concept of memory, time and place for 2 minutes and 11 seconds. Thank you David Fray.
@notaire2 jep. Und hier auf YT muss man nicht so mit Fachausdrücken um sich werfen. Du kannst auch einfach Schöne Musik, gut gespielt sagen. Als Beispiel
@@bernardthomas3606 nee so war das nicht gemeint, aber auf YT sagt man es halt nicht so auf, naja, mir fällt kein Wort ein, auf keine so elegante art Und weise
David Fray is the genuine article. You could never teach this posture, or recommend using such a chair, but this pianist knows exactly what works for him. Glenn Gould was the same way, as other comments have suggested. The proof is in the music. This is marvelous Schubert, worth hearing again and again. Like GG, M. Fray has wonderful control.
Je viens de découvrir David Fray. C’est le moment! J’aurais raté quelque-chose dans ma vie sinon. Bravo cher David! Quel talent! Vos interprétations sont tout simplement magiques.
He's so casual and so nonchalant in his appearance with that posture and the ruffled hair. I love it. He just always impresses me like he has very special talent...like a genius. I took up piano again as an adult and we'll see how it goes since life keeps interrupting. I'm hoping that when i finish learning this piece it will sound as good as his.
He brings back the light on the profound aspect of that masterpiece. At last ! When an interpretation is over and it still remains something elevating in you, this is the sign to recognize shallow plays from « whole understanding » plays. It has a purpose that goes beyond piano, and contribute to your life.
At first sight, this piece might seem easy. However it requires a great deal of practice and a soft touch to be able to play it as well as David can. But in piano playing, it is recommended to sit up straight. All in all, this is a great piece performed fantastically!
Absolument merveilleux... j'adore ce pianiste, dans la sublime lignée de GG même en ce qui concerne sa curieuse posture, mais totalement personnel et unique. Bravo...
I think David plays beautifully. I really like his interpretation of this piece. Something about his look, his hair and his face, reminds me of David Gilmour,
Aw thanks :) I'm currently playing some of Schubert's Impromptus and Moments musicaux, and I'm always amazed by Fray's sensitive and musical renditions...phenomenal!
Y'a plein de trucs dans la vie qui nous font du bien...........des guilis guilis,des caresses,des lèvres chaudes qui se posent sur votre épiderme glacé.........Schubert me fait tout ça en mème temps .
¡Maravilloso FRAY! Escucharte es uno de los más grandes placeres que he podido experimentar. Gracias. Eres un gran pianista y mereces todo el éxito del mundo. Te lo deseo con todo mi corazón
I am only left to cry in total musical bliss. Brilliant interpretation David Fray! Genius! And what a composition, so simple yet so efficient, so deep... Schubert
This guy's posture is wild!!!
True
I was gonna write the same HAHAHAHA
Lol
0:12 ...you can see in his expression that he's clearly holding it.
I sit like that on the piano
my piano teachers have always been like, *FUCKING SIT UP STRAIGHT!!* but this guy is just leaning back in his chair, taking a load off, nailing those articulations and rubato
+Greg Moberg playing the way this guy is playing can give you serious back aches, that is why you teacher askes you to sit straight.
i know what you are saying...i think thats the same case with everybody who has ever played piano, but like somobody said - that`s why i dont have problems with my back
oh just dont mind how you sit. thats my motto 🤣🤣 I always hunch and i realized having a chair with the back support relaxes me.
Yes, look at Glenn Gould who also sat with a bad posture, and listen to how much pain he felt and he looked awful. Eventually it will affect playing, too, besides the pain.
My man is reclining in his chair as if he’s about to spend Sunday evening watching TV
it is an easy piece to play . and also easy to perform well - compared to Fantasie impromptu in C# minor or revolution etude in c minor . . .
@@scotthorwath7236 Not easy to imitate this pianist !
@@scotthorwath7236 euh... not so easy. It's more like 'walking on eggs'...

@@scotthorwath7236 *revolutionary
A charming rendition that makes the piece seem more melancholy and pensive, rather than a children's march, which is how many others make it seem!
I remember the first time I heard him playing this piece, and then I was listening to other performers. Nobody was even close
Very agreeable assessment!! I'm with you.
the way he plays it.... damn so soft so good I could listen to it all day long
You're a mess
I agree.
The way he sits... so laid back
especially at 1:20!
For me this is the best interpretation of this piece I ever heard. The pace, the tone, perfection.
The very best version I have ever heard!!! David Fray is a brilliant pianist!

In 1971 I heard someone playing this piece of music. I have never forgotten this moment.
Dang my parents weren't around back then. Really shows how far back we can all go
Simply the best playing of this piece
Listen to horowitz then... 😂
@@leonardmartin6048 A man of taste. I just listened it . . . this version here is good but more "regular". Horowitz shows it in a way so interesting but nonethe less beautiful...
Seong Jin Cho's release is interesting as well
Agree with Seong Jin Cho’s interpretation being tops. This one by Mr Fray is excellent too
Brendel, the answer is always Brendel.
A beautiful piece composed by a beautiful composer, played on a beautiful piano by a beautiful man.

This is why I love the piano. Hear my interpretation of Chopin by looking up “Silentmason”
It took me forever to learn skills like that I call 'em Schubert skills 😄
There is Beethoven and Mozart and I adore them both, but Schubert I love, there is something with Schubert’s music that I can relate to in everyday life, it is simple, but it always tells me something, teaches me something and has a story to tell.
That young man was something special!
Listening to beautiful music a well as watching a beautiful man playing it, is pure pleasure.

David is pure GOLD! He plays all over the world….. we are flying to Tucson to hear him play Mozart Piano Concerto #22 in September, 2024!
Совершенное,глубокое,невероятно прекрасное исполнение Шуберта.

david fray is one of the only pianist who made this poetic piece as it is as possible
Beautiful Schubert. Such wonderful music out of so much pain. What might have been had he lived another thirty years.
Elegante und hoch intelligente Aufführung dieses kompakten und außergewöhnlich schönen Meisterwerks.

There's no better or more concise example of tension and resolution in music than this short piece
Only the real artists like Fray can give such sublime simplicity and delightful charm to this childlike work.
I have 23 years old I LOVE THISSSSS SONG SO MUCH... Its like metal to me..
Never heard better performance than this 👌👌👌

Superb dynamics and touch, it's so nice to hear someone play that quietly.
This is exactly how I would like this piece to be played...
Thank you you made my day
je viens de tomber amoureuse d'un pianiste qui joue Schubert, mais chuuuut, ne le dites à personne...
On dirait un peu orelsan
The best version of moment musical I have heard!
Je viens de découvrir David Fray. C’est le moment! J’aurais raté quelque-chose dans ma vie sinon. Bravo cher David! Quel talent! Vos interprétations sont tout simplement magiques.
Tout comme vous je découvre ce virtuose..et BACH ...une merveille 🤗🙏🇨🇵
Una interpretación con una delicadeza admirable. Me encantó
The convergence of simplicity and profundity. Delightful.

Beautiful piece of music superbly playing by David Fray Bravo.!!!!!!!
splendid!!!

just love the way Fray interprets Schubert with "DOUBT and loneliness" (to quote his own words) in his amazing touch. You are so good!!!
im totally inlove with the way he plays the piano! so tecnical and sensible!
You talented hot bastard, good job!
Nobody can play it like him! Listen to others and you can hear that this is perfect.
Anna van Holland you really should listen to Horowitz playing this... Much better
But his seating is not right tho...
This is the best ever version I have ever heard, just marvellous
yes I agree! for me the best version I heard!
vano I don’t think so
What sensitivity and beauty of tone.
He has great touch!!
E' sublime ,l'ascolto incanta.Non ho parole.
Stupendo

This piece is deceptively easy. To play it this softly and lightly is quite difficult.
It is difficult, but not nearly to impossible, like some of these commentators think.
especially at 1:20!
In the actual piece the thirds is a pain in the ass, the sixths is the easy part though cause I have a bigger hands.
@@bakuto.1055 To imitate all those nuances ?
i agree that playing at ppp stacatto is extremely difficult
The beauty of rhythm.
A song does not have to be fancy to be good.
A. Beautiful modest one.

The way he plays so softly ♥️
This is the best interpretation
C'est incontestablement la plus belle interprétation relatant parfaitement l'esprit de Schubert.
This piece of music brings back memories....
I think David plays beautifully. I really like his interpretation of this piece. Something about his look, his hair and his face, reminds me of David Gilmour,
SO good. Thank you so very much for this. Bravo bravo
Look at his facial expressions. He really feels the music.
J'ai 13 ans et je kiffe tu vas faire quoi 😂 C'est magnifique quel talent 💌👌🏻👌🏻
Какая прелесть !!!
Виртуозно и скромно !!!!
Браво , Маэстро !!!!

Brings back* :)

Beaucoup de sensibilité. Bravo !
Absolutely Heavenly!!!!!!!!!!
That's amazing . someone gives this simple such a sweet voice. He does have unique sensibility!
Hats off to the piano technician. This piano sounds like it would feel amazing to play. And the range of expression on those hammers is unreal.
Piano technicians rarely get the credit deserved!
A walk through the park, love this rendition!
Perfect rempdition, super delicate toucher that remains within the subtle environment of the Musical Moment. Regards from Mexico to Mr. Fray.
the steinway sounds amazing, especially with the light touch.. perfect mic'ing and natural reverb wherever that room is.. bravo
The most sensitive performance of this Moment Musical I have heard.
Bravo!
I’m learning this song right now
So tender, and so crisp. I cannot believe he is playing it softer than it is usually played by amateurs. I am so pleased...
Beautiful recording. The Impromptus are also completely beautiful.
Que bela interpretação 😍😍🇧🇷
It is beautiful music🎹🎶🎼🎵
Aw thanks :) I'm currently playing some of Schubert's Impromptus and Moments musicaux, and I'm always amazed by Fray's sensitive and musical renditions...phenomenal!
