So many people commenting on her obvious physical beauty whilst ignoring her most beautiful asset...her hands. Yes she's very pretty and has amazing hair, but many young ladies have those qualities. How many have hands that can create something as phenomenal as this recital with such grace? I can imagine just how proud those who love her are. This is talent and passion at its very best.
I feel, Mark, that composers of the past have missed the magic of watching hands producing their work - it adds a whole new dimension. After all our brain ties the audio with the visual as a matter of course. We owe a great favour to the video recordists talents who allow us this too.
Aren't her hands part of her "physical" makeup? Yes, I agree that her hands are beautiful... but you're sadly mistaken in questioning the talent of other "young ladies". LOTS OF YOUNG BEAUTIFUL GIRLS CAN PLAY PIANO BEAUTIFULLY!!
@@jacobhebbel6448 No, no.... her hands are IN FACT BEAUTIFUL! You're the one that's wrong about that... ...probably because you find men more attractive than women, which is fine, but you're quite wrong... Everything about her is beautiful!!
@@theeouapolal7262 imma assume ur a troll, but if you aren’t then first off that level takes over a decade of continuous hard work, especially for the pathetique sonata. Not a lot of people can do this
This is literally perfection. I have never heard an interpretation of this that is so emotional and powerful. THIS. This is the pinnacle of what humanity has to offer, truly and absolutely. The entire second movement, and the finale of the third movement, are absolutely transcendental and astounding. Realising that this performance is relatively unknown is quite upsetting to me personally. This talented woman deserves far more praise!

I have listened to Huppman’s interpretation of Pathetique numerous times as well as other highly regarded pianists including Horowitz. Just to determine why I love her interpretation. Of course, various nuanced interpretations are subjective but I love the contrast within Pathetique between the bright segments and the sensual moments. Huppman’s bright segments strike me as brighter as she plays with authority. Then the quieter sensual moments are even more sensual so the contrast within this sonata ilia enhanced to a point I love. I just hope that Beethoven is in a place where he can hear Huppman’s lovely interpretation!
I used to live near Chicago in 1993 and listened to classical music on WNIB-FM. In November I heard some tragic,very sad news.Two retired teachers crashed in a bus on the ice in rural England. They were such beautiful people+I miss them sooo much. They both loved this piano sonata #8 very much.
I listened so many renditions of this sonata Zimerman, Ashkenazy, Serkin and Barenboim among many others. THIS IS THE MOST VIVID, PASSIONATE and CRYSTAL CLEAR performance of them all. Perfect articulation, excellent tempo, lush rubatos! Incredible work. And a beautiful woman as huge bonus!!
Have you listened to Yundi Li’s play of this sonata? It is equally impressive. Hers is softer and smoother like water or cloud. Yundi’s shows more strength and depth. Both are among the best recorded.
As I listen to you play this I lam filled with awe at your beautiful mind.... I have no concept of how a person could memorize such a long and complicated work. You are absolutely amazing; and that is not even beginning to consider the years of practice and study to get to the point where such a feat is even possible. I truly hope you are continuing to find joy and happiness through your playing. I find joy every time I listen to you play it. Thank you, Fred
Dressed in black, playing in a room with empty chairs. Obviously, a favorite piece, one that artists play when they are alone, just for themselves. Thanks for sharing your great skill and your deeply held passion for Beethoven with us.
Aside from Covid-19, an empty hall fits so perfectly to interpret Beethoven's struggle to survive by defeating his invisible foe through his solo piano music, which Anastasia's empathy for him is so caable to capture and perform like he himself would probably did. Thank you A. 💜
I keep seeing gorgeous white women lately. One after another after another after another. It's as if the more racist americans are against them the more gorgeous they get.
Hi Ms. Huppman: Do you have your own RUclips channel? Are your works available for download? In particular have you recorded much Bach music? Take care and stay safe.
Terrific performance, crisp, well articulated, great dynamics and real feeling. She also gets my unofficial Wilhelm Kempff award for fidelity to the rhythm - so many pianists these days seem to be trying to create a unique interpretation by artificially meddling with rhythm and for Beethoven in particular that's a great way to ruin a piece. One further word - though I hesitate to comment on the appearance of a female pianist given the usual excessive commentary on this aspect on youtube, the hairstyle, outfit and body language really complemented this performance. Often I prefer not to watch a performer as it's a distraction but in this case found the visuals to be an enhancement to enjoyment of the piece and quite mesmerizing because of Ms. Huppmann's obvious absorption in the music. There is a star quality about her presence here and one can see why she has won so many competitions. Thank you Ms. Huppmann!
This adorable music is worthy to be sent, through the space on a spaceship, to be discovered, and listened by extraterrestrial life...They'd be delighted and GREATLY surprised, in regards what mankind has composed through a UNIQUE MUSICIAN...L.V. Beethoven...and what to to say about the gorgeous girl playing it...ASTONISHING...
Madame that hairstyle is iconic and your dark apparel and excellent lighting blends well with the mysterious emotional sonata. Your hands are so fluid on the keyboard giving us a beautiful rendition of the masterpiece. Thanks for giving us a short background of the sonata.
i gotta say i just love the acoustics of that room and how the room carries the sound of the piano so well. it just echoes. Even though I am not there, it feels like i am, cause the acoustics carry the sound so perfectly coming from my speakers. and i just love the atmosphere of the video!
Such a fiery performance. Theres so much going on and its like im hearing it for the first time. One thing i do is i have the first movement exposition repeat to go all the way back to the beginning of the grave section. To have a gigantic first movement balanced by two shorter lighter movements. I cant speak highly enough of this performance. Really captured the spirit of the composer.
I feel honoured to live in a time in history where i can hear this interpretation. Its sheer perfection, and the best interpretation out there. It inspired me to start learning this piece but it agravates me because noatrer what i do, it will never come close. Thanks for leaving us with this treat!
I have had the joy of listening to this Sonata No 8 all my life. Since music will naturally evoke change with the musician, it is sometimes difficult to sense a difference. Ms. Huppmann performs a magnificent interpretation of this piece. I truly felt the love...and disdain of the composer. Cannot listen to this enough. Thank you.
So fantastisch habe ich Beethoven noch nie erlebt. Grandios!!! Ihre Interpretation, voll und ganz Ludwig, wie er war und wie er durch Sie weiter lebt. Vielen herzlichen Dank , auf ein Weiteres, bestimmt.
This took me back to my first experience of this music 40 years ago. I felt like I was hearing it for the first time and the voices in its harmonies spoke to me about my life. Thank you for playing with such truth and purpose.
Потрясающе! Очень выразительно и чувственно играете. И вылядите ни менее потрясающе! Умничка. Порадовали.Спасибо Вам. Наслаждение слушать Ваше исполнение.
Años que vengo admirando la sencible y a la vez soberbia forma de interpretar a este músico , con bríos propios de un hombre que escuchaba cada vez menos ... y la calma ... cierro los ojos y veo una Anastasia personificando magistralmente el temperamento de Ludwig ...
Amazing. Technique and emotion in perfect harmony. What an inspiration. You have the speed that does not overwhelm, unlike so many other young concert pianists who think that playing things at breakneck speed is what it is all about, but have no emotional connection to what they are playing. Unlike you - full of emotion, you remind us that music IS emotion. Thank you for this stunning performance.
Your mastery of the technical playing is wonderful to hear. Your mastery of the emotional completes the piece. A piano in perfect tuning enhances it all. Thank you so much for your gift to lovers of classical music played the way it's supposed to be.
Anastasia Huppmann is a GIFT from GOD. Extraordinarily talented--a beautiful performance with exquisite nuanced sensitivities in each phrase. 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜 ❤
This piece is beautiful. She puts a lot of feeling into this. I've played it as well. It's not easy to play and it takes tremendous control. Anastasia is a very gifted pianist. A pleasure to hear!!!!
There's great camera work at play here. I can appreciate the multiple angles as well as the traveling shots. It meshes well with your dynamism and piece. Also, Ms. Huppmann, your new look is simply fierce! It suits you well. And your hairstyle--so bouncy and volumous. It's gorgeous! Your beauty and talent are enough to make all living things jealous.
imho This is the best piece of music ever performed or written. I have listened to it at least once a day for over thirty years. I have heard 27 pianists' recordings, 3 of them in multiple recordings. I have experienced it live 17 times by performers ranging from 21 to 57 years old. This is the first video I have seen in which the visual portion adds to the wonder and beauty of the best and most truly human piece of music ever (and I do not use such superlatives as best and most lightly). I not only applaud you. I bow to your depth, wonder, beauty, honesty, and greatness. Thank you. P.S. What a Pathetique hair style! Please ask your stylist to listen to this.
Such feed back is great, although I question the wisdom of commenting on her hair style..........................by the way,I love her hair, part of her amazing visual appearance.............rich............acoG
She loves what she does, firmly and completely involved in her version of this music. … Showing her own views. This is Interesting to share it with us. 😊 Elle a une grosse force de frappe… C’ est étonnant de voir cela, selon moi. Comme elle appuie sur les notes. Wow.
This was just a lovely rendition. Especially the first movement which everyone always feels the need to hammer out and rush through without all of the subtle dynamics. And of course, the second movement, which has captured my heart since early childhood when I learned to play it. I'm also very impressed by the quality of sound coming out of that Yamaha. Quite lovely. And of course, all of it being played by a beautiful woman with enviable posture.... Watching you makes me sit up straighter! Bravo.
Lot of comments on hairstyle ... she can play blind(hair)fold and simply sound as magnificent and musically enriching on the piano ... treat to the ears with the great compositions 🎼🎶🙏
Dear Anastasia: I can almost say that your performance makes suffering endurable. When I suffer, as old people do, I'll come and listen to your heart opening performance. ☆☆☆☆☆🌹
FANTASTIC. Beethoven would have been married at once hearing this FANTASTIC expression of his work. And a beautiful female way of doing it. This is a masterpiece.
I'm not, anyway. There's nothing wrong with it, but that''s not what this video is about. It's about the music she plays, not about her hair or her attire.
Her and that piano: she is just playing herself. What a niceness of physical and artistic beauty, so you dont know where the one begins and the other ends.
Beautiful, also really nice that you add the possibility to watch this video in such high resolution, it really adds to the performance in a positive way.
C'est sublime, le piano fait corps avec votre âme de pianiste, vous êtes merveilleuse à en pleurer à chaque vibration, à chaque sonorité, des plus franches aux plus subtiles. Je ne m'en lasse pas. Un grand merci à vous pour cette sonate inoubliable qui va et qui revient inlassablement.
Beautiful interpretation of Beethoven, I played this in the Guild and on many stages here in America many years ago. With sadness I can't play the piano anymore, lost in time...had to work to build career and now it's lost to a time lapse of memory/arthritis. Don't ever let it leave you dear!
My dear Lady. Some consolation in the face of tragedy must be in recognizing that it is not for all humans to be able to touch the soul in a chord that comes out of the creative depth of the human spirit..
Прекрасно ! Браво троекратное!!! Великий композитор, великое произведение, чудесное исполнение !!! Ленин о произведениях Бетховена говорил: "Эту музыку хочется слушать вечно" Но он ещё не видел это прекрасное исполнение.
@@classicalpianist смотрю, слушаю, восторгаюсь Вами и (может покажется прозаичным) попадаю в прошлое, когда был в детской музыкальной школе, вижу людей, которые окружали меня, и как всегда приятно и грустно, но конечно сдерживаешься. Сожалею теперь, что дальше музыкальной школы не суждено было пойти, видимо не те способности были, хотя педагоги многое сделали. Благодарю своих родителей, что я учился музыке и смог хотябы чуть-чуть теперь прикоснуться и к Вашему миру. Вы так прекрасны, что смогу смотреть ваши видео неочень часто !
Anastasia, you are always so technically perfect!! Powerful, passionate and fabulous! Top performance of this famous and beloved Sonata!! BRAVO! ~Jackie
Masterful! I especially love your unique and effective timing and accents, reminding me of the freshness and excitement that André Cluytens brought to the Beethoven's symphonies (among his many other contributions). Your energy and strength puts the masters to shame! THANK YOU!

BEAUTIFUL LADY WHO PLAYS LIKE A ANGEL THE MUSIC OF BEETHOVEN
Many years ago I could play this piece myself and was inspired to play it well. Listening to your beautiful and impressionable interpretation, I clearly never master it. Bravo Anastasia!
Such passion & beauty. I used to love playing this when I was young, though never quite as well as you do. You’re a treasure. Thank you for sharing this performance. 🙏
Utterly hypnotising. The rest of the world melted away as I watched and listened. Beautiful interpretation. I am now inspired to learn this piece, thank you so much.
Truly Amazing ! She is a blessing from God ! And a blessing TO us who watch and listen ! She plays with everything that she is !!! She puts her soul into those keys !!! I was blown away !!!
My daughter loved this. She have something to say to you! She said: "I love your interpretation to this piece! I will love to hear you play Chopin's 'Waterfall' etude (Etude op. 10 no.1). I am learning this etude right now and I hope to see your wonderful interpretation to that masterpiece!"
Just came across you performing for the first time. Amazing! perfection! Your passion for this song shows like no other I’ve seen. You’ve inspired my children Thank You. Sincerely- your new fans 💖
Anastasia Huppmann is now the best pianist in the world. Her beauty is also the best. Concerning Her piano technique, First, clear melody line. No voiced pedaling, every left handed chord is carefully down. Her Chopin Nocrurn No 2 , 7 measure from the end, E♭ーF , though general pianist play 8 notes, she played intensively 6 note. This is also very natural in her performance. She is also my ideal piano teacher.
Fantastic. I've listened to a lot play this piece and this is up there with the best can't fault it. Funny how even though you can't play it yourself you can appreciate the beauty of it.
Absolutely love the Pathetique sonata. You excel in bringing this sonata to life and play it so beautifully. I play this sonata but have not brought it up to the tempo it should be played at as you do so magnificently. I will keep practicing it and listening to your recording of it to help me bring it up to tempo. Thank you for recording such beautiful music. I thoroughly enjoy all of it. I would love to hear you play Chopin's Prelude Op. 28 No. 24.
Bravo Anastasia, thank you! This is one of the best versions I have ever heard. Very exclusive performance where power and melody are intertwined in most beautiful harmony!
Hello! ANASTASIA! Thank you for your mention of Christmas, and for offering us listeners the hospitality of your youtubechannel. Thank you so much. This video is very beautiful both to the eye and ear. Light and shadows seem to suit both you and the Sonata. Also, love the black turtleneck sweater, so sharp! Shorter hair great! 🎉 Years ago ,about 1961, in Detroit, Michigan, i was able to hear a concert pianist named Karl Haas, from Germany, play live the opening of this Adagio cantabile , on weekdays, to open his radio WJR-a m morning show "Adventures in Good Music". Doubtless you have heard...now, your beautiful video and wonderful playing bring all this back and give me , give all of us, such a wonderful living experience of this Beautiful Sonata. Thank you again.❤🎉
@@classicalpianistThank you again, Anastasia, i just watched your video again tonight...the most lovable performance of the Pathetique, so thoughtful, too. Thank you🎉🎉
WOW what a performance! At the age of 48 I just started with piano, always loved the Great Classical Composers. I will not even come close to play this wonderful piece of music. The lady plays it so well, unbelievable, and she can play anything she likes from the music sheet. I have great, greater, greatest admiration for such soulful playing. Unfortunately the sound quality is not true to such a wonderful playing.
It's fine, but You need to listen to this performance other than your tiny phone. Wear headphones and listen to the video recording either on TV or a quality computer.
Wolfgang Markus Gstrein > LoL. It’s obvious you were listening to this video from your phone or cheap computer. The “sound quality” is fine. To say the quality “is not true” is simply absurd.
@@blackclavish says someone who is miles apart, haven't seen my equipment and don't know what High End means! One thing is true: The digitalised sound needs to be converted, but there are some fine solutions available. The sound of long play discs will remain unmatched! But why I am talking? You know it better, Mrs, know it all! Will you please give me an advice for a High End Turntable... I guess mine is too weak! Haha...

As a pianist who also performed this piece, I loved your interpretation. The effort to show each detail it's so good. I enjoyed it very much!
imho This is the best piece of music ever performed or written. I have listened to it at least once a day for over thirty years. I have heard 27 pianists' recordings, 3 of them in multiple recordings. I have experienced it live 17 times by performers ranging from 21 to 57 years old. This is the first video I have seen in which the visual portion adds to the wonder and beauty of the best and most truly human piece of music ever (and I do not use such superlatives as best and most lightly). I not only applaud you. I bow to your depth, wonder, beauty, honesty, and greatness. Thank you. P.S. What a Pathetique hair style! Please ask your stylist to listen to this.
🙏🏻
Such feed back is great, although I question the wisdom of commenting on her hair style..........................by the way,I love her hair, part of her amazing visual appearance.............rich............acoG
Spot on. I listen and watch every version of Pathetique that I find. You Anastasia, nailed it. Magnifique
🙏🏻
The greatest hair in all of RUclips.
😂
There’s a lot more greatness to be experienced from her than her hair!
Very Taylor Swift-y
Pretty much
Her hair? She’s got a beautiful pair of hands playing one of the greatest pieces of classical music with great virtuosity.
Thank you so much for posting these pieces on youtube, Anastasia. And it is very nice to meeting you, my pleasure.
She loves what she does, firmly and completely involved in her version of this music.
… Showing her own views. This is Interesting to share it with us. 😊 Elle a une grosse force de frappe… C’ est étonnant de voir cela, selon moi. Comme elle appuie sur les notes. Wow.
J'adore votre interprétation de Beethoven Anastasia, merci à vous de nous procurer du plaisir musical pendant cette triste période. Un fan Français.
🙏🏻
This was just a lovely rendition. Especially the first movement which everyone always feels the need to hammer out and rush through without all of the subtle dynamics. And of course, the second movement, which has captured my heart since early childhood when I learned to play it.
I'm also very impressed by the quality of sound coming out of that Yamaha. Quite lovely.
And of course, all of it being played by a beautiful woman with enviable posture.... Watching you makes me sit up straighter!
Bravo.
🙏🏻
Lot of comments on hairstyle ... she can play blind(hair)fold and simply sound as magnificent and musically enriching on the piano ... treat to the ears with the great compositions 🎼🎶🙏
🙏🏻
Dear Anastasia: I can almost say that your performance makes suffering endurable. When I suffer, as old people do, I'll come and listen to your heart opening performance. ☆☆☆☆☆🌹
FANTASTIC.
Beethoven would have been married at once hearing this FANTASTIC expression of his work.
And a beautiful female way of doing it.
This is a masterpiece.
Bravo, Anastasia! Your playing is so expressive and beautiful. I loved listening to this. Thank you!
🙏
La migliore esecuzione di questa sonata che abbia mai sentito. Grazie Nasti, grande come sempre.
🙏🏻
Nobody is gonna mention how awesome her hair is?
🙏🏻
Once more through with a comb, I'd recommend.
@@Emslander no way.
I'm not, anyway. There's nothing wrong with it, but that''s not what this video is about. It's about the music she plays, not about her hair or her attire.
Same with Beethoven.
I don’t know what is more beautiful…. You or the music that you play. ❤
🙏🏻
Her and that piano: she is just playing herself.
What a niceness of physical and artistic beauty,
so you dont know where the one begins and the other ends.
🫶🏻
Beautiful, also really nice that you add the possibility to watch this video in such high resolution, it really adds to the performance in a positive way.
Wonderful. I have heard Pathetique played my entire life by so many pianists but I really think this is the best I have ever heard. Fantastic :-)
🙏
@@classicalpianist I have been waiting to hear more. Please post more of your wonderful videos
🌷🌷🌷
I’ll do 🫶🏻
I came for the music, but stayed for the hair. Magnificent !!!
🙏🏻
Love all of it the hair the passion and the talented brilliant performance.
I came for the hair and stayed for the music 🎶
I'm just getting started on Beethoven. But I must say she is the prettiest pianist I've ever seen.
There is also Hélène Grimaud, stunningly beautiful.
C'est sublime, le piano fait corps avec votre âme de pianiste, vous êtes merveilleuse à en pleurer à chaque vibration, à chaque sonorité, des plus franches aux plus subtiles. Je ne m'en lasse pas. Un grand merci à vous pour cette sonate inoubliable qui va et qui revient inlassablement.
Wow...this is an absolutely outstanding performance with great passion, emotion, and technicality!!! I loved it, and I also love the new hairdo!!
🙏
Beautiful interpretation of Beethoven, I played this in the Guild and on many stages here in America many years ago. With sadness I can't play the piano anymore, lost in time...had to work to build career and now it's lost to a time lapse of memory/arthritis. Don't ever let it leave you dear!
🙏🏻
@@classicalpianist Happy New Year, Anastasia.
My dear Lady. Some consolation in the face of tragedy must be in recognizing that it is not for all humans to be able to touch the soul in a chord that comes out of the creative depth of the human spirit..
An intelligent, elegant and heartfelt performance. Bravo! Very well done!
🙏🏻
Анастасия, Вы такая умница! Великолепное исполнение. Даешь больше девочек в мир большого фортепианного искусства!))
Прекрасно ! Браво троекратное!!! Великий композитор, великое произведение, чудесное исполнение !!! Ленин о произведениях Бетховена говорил: "Эту музыку хочется слушать вечно" Но он ещё не видел это прекрасное исполнение.
Спасибо! 🙏🏻
@@classicalpianist смотрю, слушаю, восторгаюсь Вами и (может покажется прозаичным) попадаю в прошлое, когда был в детской музыкальной школе, вижу людей, которые окружали меня, и как всегда приятно и грустно, но конечно сдерживаешься. Сожалею теперь, что дальше музыкальной школы не суждено было пойти, видимо не те способности были, хотя педагоги многое сделали. Благодарю своих родителей, что я учился музыке и смог хотябы чуть-чуть теперь прикоснуться и к Вашему миру.
Вы так прекрасны, что смогу смотреть ваши видео неочень часто !
The most beautiful pianist in the world♥
🙏🏻
I’m positive Beethoven is applauding Huppman’s interpretation!!
Anastasia, you are always so technically perfect!! Powerful, passionate and fabulous! Top performance of this famous and beloved Sonata!! BRAVO! ~Jackie
Jackie Perks - Classical Jams Piano 🙏
Wow how much beauty and talent can one person have.
She is beauty playing beauty.
God, um, you're not being equitable and fair.
🤘😁
Masterful! I especially love your unique and effective timing and accents, reminding me of the freshness and excitement that André Cluytens brought to the Beethoven's symphonies (among his many other contributions). Your energy and strength puts the masters to shame! THANK YOU!
BEAUTIFUL LADY WHO PLAYS LIKE A ANGEL THE MUSIC OF BEETHOVEN
🙏🏻
Incredible ability to separate out voices and beautiful phrasing. Wow!
🙏🏻
Many years ago I could play this piece myself and was inspired to play it well. Listening to your beautiful and impressionable interpretation, I clearly never master it. Bravo Anastasia!
Such passion & beauty. I used to love playing this when I was young, though never quite as well as you do. You’re a treasure. Thank you for sharing this performance. 🙏
чудно! Молодец, Анастасия!
Utterly hypnotising. The rest of the world melted away as I watched and listened. Beautiful interpretation. I am now inspired to learn this piece, thank you so much.
🙏🏻
Anastasia in her element: perfect!
🙏
Just amazing! Thanks for sharing your talent, and the music of the great maestro, Beethoven!
🙏
This is the best interpretation I ever heard. Thank you Anastasia! I love the way you play 😊
Thank you too!🙏🏻
Браво, Анастасия!
Truly Amazing ! She is a blessing from God ! And a blessing TO us who watch and listen ! She plays with everything that she is !!! She puts her soul into those keys !!! I was blown away !!!
🙏🏻
Long or Short Hair don't matter. You are still a lovely Lady that plays Beautiful Musik. Many Thanks!
🙏
Thank you, from a humble man from the Heartland of America.
I have never known such beauty in music. Thank you.
My daughter loved this. She have something to say to you! She said: "I love your interpretation to this piece! I will love to hear you play Chopin's 'Waterfall' etude (Etude op. 10 no.1). I am learning this etude right now and I hope to see your wonderful interpretation to that masterpiece!"
Just came across you performing for the first time. Amazing! perfection! Your passion for this song shows like no other I’ve seen. You’ve inspired my children
Thank You.
Sincerely- your new fans 💖
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Bravo ! Wonderful! completely performed tempo and emotion with her superb technique. Beautiful Beethoven Pathetique!, I've heard first time.
🙏
Anastasia Huppmann is now the best pianist in the world. Her beauty is also the best. Concerning Her piano technique, First, clear melody line. No voiced pedaling, every left handed chord is carefully down. Her Chopin Nocrurn No 2 , 7 measure from the end, E♭ーF , though general pianist play 8 notes, she played intensively 6 note. This is also very natural in her performance. She is also my ideal piano teacher.
ok tempo emotion sensibility technic
Fantastic. I've listened to a lot play this piece and this is up there with the best can't fault it. Funny how even though you can't play it yourself you can appreciate the beauty of it.
🙏
As someone who can't play, I have that same appreciation of a totally mastered piece, infinite beauty Annastacia.
Absolutely love the Pathetique sonata. You excel in bringing this sonata to life and play it so beautifully. I play this sonata but have not brought it up to the tempo it should be played at as you do so magnificently. I will keep practicing it and listening to your recording of it to help me bring it up to tempo. Thank you for recording such beautiful music. I thoroughly enjoy all of it.
I would love to hear you play Chopin's Prelude Op. 28 No. 24.
Here is Kayla ok
Thank you!🙏🏻
Bravo Anastasia, thank you! This is one of the best versions I have ever heard. Very exclusive performance where power and melody are intertwined in most beautiful harmony!
Hello! ANASTASIA!
Thank you for your mention of Christmas, and for offering us listeners the hospitality of your youtubechannel. Thank you so much. This video is very beautiful both to the eye and ear. Light and shadows seem to suit both you and the Sonata. Also, love the black turtleneck sweater, so sharp! Shorter hair great! 🎉
Years ago ,about 1961, in
Detroit, Michigan, i was able to hear a concert pianist named Karl Haas, from Germany, play live the opening of this Adagio cantabile , on weekdays, to open his radio WJR-a m morning show "Adventures in Good Music". Doubtless you have heard...now, your beautiful video and wonderful playing bring all this back and give me , give all of us, such a wonderful living experience of this Beautiful Sonata. Thank you again.❤🎉
Thank you 🫶🏻
@@classicalpianistWelcome back,Anastasia!! How nice to hear from you today especially! 😊 ❤
@@classicalpianistThank you again, Anastasia, i just watched your video again tonight...the most lovable performance of the Pathetique, so thoughtful, too.
Thank you🎉🎉
WOW what a performance! At the age of 48 I just started with piano, always loved the Great Classical Composers. I will not even come close to play this wonderful piece of music. The lady plays it so well, unbelievable, and she can play anything she likes from the music sheet. I have great, greater, greatest admiration for such soulful playing. Unfortunately the sound quality is not true to such a wonderful playing.
🙏
It's fine, but You need to listen to this performance other than your tiny phone. Wear headphones and listen to the video recording either on TV or a quality computer.
@@blackclavish who says that I was listening on cell phone? Have you ever heard of Kuhl (amplification) & Göbel High End (speakers)? Lady, please!
Wolfgang Markus Gstrein > LoL. It’s obvious you were listening to this video from your phone or cheap computer. The “sound quality” is fine. To say the quality “is not true” is simply absurd.
@@blackclavish says someone who is miles apart, haven't seen my equipment and don't know what High End means! One thing is true: The digitalised sound needs to be converted, but there are some fine solutions available. The sound of long play discs will remain unmatched! But why I am talking? You know it better, Mrs, know it all!
Will you please give me an advice for a High End Turntable... I guess mine is too weak! Haha...
Anastasia excelente interpretación. Wunderbare Interpretation mit viel Gefühl und Herz gespielt🥰
🙏🏻
Striking how Anastasia is so talented and beautiful. She must be an Angel.
or not! Only two possibilities.
🙏🏻
That pause, the dramatic silence on frames 8:30 to 8:40... are perfect beauty, musical poetry in motion.
