haha I didn't expect you to made him jump lol
schiff is a boss
Present-day "progressive" music students: "Let me get this straight. You think that pop music is inferior to classical music?"
Schiff: "I do, and I'm tired of pretending it's not."
What a based chad.
Because he is a descendant from God and now he has ascended to an higher clef.
its not actually true he does not play Liszt, a personal friend once persuaded him to sightread Feuxfollets after several bottles of Tignanello wine - the playing put many Liszt specialists to shame. Unfortunately it was not recorded and Schiff could not remember playing one note of it the next day.
Is that true ? I can't believe it.
Well I can believe it. I heard from a few musicians who know him that he is very fond of wine. One has met him in a restaurant where he was with Myung Whun Chung and they were quite frankly, drunk
@@sarawasdielthem9550 That he was drunk, of course we can believe. That he sightread feux follets, of course not. First, that piece is impossible to read in tempo, second Schiff doesn't even have the technique for. He developed an exquisite and precise finger technique for Bach, but as he never moves his wrist, every thing related to heavy attacks, octaves, he can't. Watch his Brahms concertos, he barely fails on every thing related to heavy, no sound power, no agility. And Liszt is close.
@@Paroles_et_Musique why are you talking in plural. who is this “we”?
As to playing Liszt, I can believe that. He played Liszt before when he was young as well as in competitions. I wouldn’t be surprised if people asked him to play for a dare or a request knowing his antipathy and he probably obliged if he had a few drinks. But whether it was good or bad, nobody knows except those people in the room. I for one would love to hear his take. So hoping next time someone films it haha
@@sarawasdielthem9550 By "we", anybody who can play piano at good level and knows things about.
Sight-reading Feux follets so well that "the playing put many Liszt specialists to shame." is a myth, that is no reality, is factually impossible.
He is such a perfect gentleman besides a grand master pianist. We could all strive to be a bit more like sir Schiff!
goodness me that jump, nearly had a heartache :D :D
He's a good sport answering all these dumb-ass questions !
I love you sir
2:06 YES I AGREE SO RELATABLE ANYTHING THAT'S NOT CLASSICAL IS QUITE MUCH NOISE (not sarcastic I actually agree here)
When he said Liszt 😬😬😬😬
How can he not click with Franz Liszt? His compositions are masterpieces. :/ Schiff himself played La Leggierezza for the Tchaikovsky Competition.
Part of the reason is apparently that because he was growing up in hungary and liszt was a hungarian aswell he had to endure a lot of bad liszt playing and generally a lot of liszt in his educational time in hungary. So he grew tiresome of it and apparently still doesn't like it.
Schiff doesn't like Liszt or Liszt's music - he disapproves of the more libertine side of his character and he points out that his music does not derive from Bach
@@chrisharman9781 Could you share where you got that informantion from? thanks
@@rldluz it makes sense though since Schiff is a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE Bach fan
@@agamaz5650 totally, I wasn't questioning the claim, just wanted to see for myself, I always had the feeling he did not care for Liszt, but i had never heard him speaking of him
Does anyone know the name of the piece at the beginning?
Sarabande from French Suite No. 3 in B minor
Maria Stanzi Thank you!
Azt a rézfánfütyülőjét, András! :-))))
A túlvilágról írok, mert ezen az utolsó válaszon konkrétan halálra röhögtem magam... 🤣😂😅
A true god amongst us mortals...
It’s funny that he is Hungarian and studied at the Franz Liszt academy of music and yet he hates Liszt’s music!
Hillarious! :)
0:39
NOOOOOOOOOO
Lol
Sorry, could someone who speaks hungarian translate, please??
upon research, the swear word he said at the end is essentially "f*** you", but it translates literally to English as: "horse d*** up your a**".
❤
can a Hungarian please translate the curse word he said at the end?
Fuck you
You don’t wanna know
That’s the best part of the interview
I like this side of him much better, than when he is 'correcting' people in 'masterclasses'
grow up
@@hgkwbsx7 My comment was out of skepticism for his high-mindedness. Because despite his musical intellect, his playing tends to be timid and academic. In other words, his ideas don't necessarily translate to the quality of his playing.
Having ideas in which you can't capture is called being an artist as is dreaming beyond your capability :) @@johndoily9407
@@hgkwbsx7 It's much simpler than that. Basically, this man has no forte tone--> the warm, rich kind. Also, he's a bit lazy about dynamics, and his Schumann and Chopin, while fastidious about detail, have no passion. Ditto on other composers.
Also, your replies are ad hominem attacks, not arguments. They don't do anything.
Given that he plays Bach more often than others I’d have to disagree with you on your statement that he is “lazy with dynamics” I find that he has a very distinct style often infused with dynamic variation. Also if you don’t like his masterclasses, I advise you to listen to his Beethoven lecture-recitals they are really a gem of pianistic knowledge and technical skill.
0:02 There's a bug or insect crawling around on the opening intro slides lol
Please Hungarians translate it!
+Jóember Jóember lolololol thank you
Hahahaha... thanks
haha thanks
@@Qwerty-hj1ml what did he write?
1:10
I didn't get the violin joke
The agency asks: "Can you play Harold en Italie" (A symphony by Berlioz), the violist responds: "Yes, if you pay me the travel costs, I can play it anywhere"
@@AvntXardE xddddd
lófasz a seggedbe!
Ahahaha
