I know of no other composer who, with a few simple notes makes you utterly fly away in joy and then suddenly, with the next few notes, makes you want to weep like a baby.
@@lionelthiebaud7081Oui, d’accord, j’en conviens, mais je faisais allusion spécifiquement à ce talent que possède Schubert de nous faire passer de la joie à la tristesse en l’espace de quelques notes très rapprochées les unes des autres. Écoutez à partir de 01:47. Sublime.
Brendel playing Schubert and Beethoven ... he captures the mood of these works so perfectly it's as if he was ordained by the composers themselves to be their spokesman.
We can only appreciate Schubert, played with such virtuosity. Nothing remains in the shadows, every detail is superbly highlighted with grace, humour and power. Alfre Brendel is for me the greatest pianist.
I agree that Brendel‘s Schubert interpretations are among the best. But just quite recently I discovered a beautiful recording of these four Impromptus by Schiff. Since any link would may YT delete my answer just enter the following to the search bar: „SIR ANDRAS SCHIFF - Schubert - Four Impromptus D. 935 (Audio Only)“ Especially in number two I suddenly discover so many hidden motives and melody fragments, I was astonished. Not being a professional but a rather mediocre hobby pianist, who will never hope to play even this piece of medium technical difficulty anyway as beautiful as Brendel or Schiff, I learned a lot from Schiff‘s recording.
@@TwoCatsUp I remember hearing No 2 in Ab for the first time, on radio, and being transfixed. I hunted down that same album you mean and from then on Brendel had opened up Schubert to me - for 99p! How many other lives did Brendel do that for in those revelatory early years, and how many since? At that emotional time of life, I think I came to regard Schubert in Brendel’s hands, as important as food and laughter!
@@TwoCatsUp Glad to have conveyed some momentary respite from the current health crisis, Rex! I made sure I got his other Turnabout Schubert recordings, and got one of them signed by him, making sure it was that introductory Moments Musicaux disc - which of course is coupled with the tremendous posthumous three pieces D946 (how thrilling, as I read somewhere below, it would have been to hear him make No 1 his final Proms encore - I missed it!) Maybe it’s me and F minor but thanks to these early Brendel recordings, I have come to like the second set of Impromptus even more than the first. It seemed in the following decade or so many pianists did not ‘get’ D935 deeply enough to perform and record it, or perhaps they or record companies were fearing audiences would find it a slightly more austere set. The Turnabout sleeve note had expressed great disappointment with the music of the D935 No 1 and I wonder if this dampened artistic or commercial policy towards it. But I found myself strongly disagreeing. How the middle section B melts you after the anguish and disquieted resignation of section A! It’s like a sudden new and tender song, taking section A’s hand in compassion. How could this be second-rate Schubert?
Of all the pianists I've heard play the Schubert impromptus, , I think Alfred Brendel's Interpretation is the best by far. Schubert has to" sing" on the piano and Brendel is the only one who brings out this heavenly music to the fullest.He has a ringing sound in the left hand as well as the right. throughout,and and thus transports you into a magical, sublime world that is beauty unimaginable !
Yo también creo que la mejor interpretación de los impromptus es la de Brendel, pero junto a la de Radu Lupu. Aunque creo que el no. 4 Brendel lo toca demasiado rápido para mí gusto. Greetings from México.
There are no words to describe the beauty of these pieces. If you have a portable cd player, just listen to these pieces while talking your morning or evening walk. Eternally satisfying... and if its Brendel playing, all the better.
On est transporté ici, avec A. Brendel, dans une sorte de féérie, suspendu à ce qu'il nous dit, parfois dans un chuchotement d'une extrême pudeur, tout en offrant une palette de couleurs et d'expression si riche qu'elle tient pour moi du merveilleux... Que de délicatesse et de sensibilité! C'est par lui que j'ai découvert la beauté qui pouvait être celle du piano!
Brendel was my ideal when I was a young piano student. He showed me Shubert and Beethoven. His playing is simply wonderful. Clear and so faithful to the composers. Thanks
There will never be another Alfred Brendel - such superb mastery of the instrument and breathtaking interpretation. I am thankful that we have these wonderful recordings. What a wonderful gift for posterity!
Thank the Lord that we have these recorded documents to bear witness the artistry of this exemplary artist -- and to help teach the young ones coming up how these Schubert pieces should be played.
I recommend reading the score of this first piece (Impromptu no 1, D 935), because in section B (2'55" onwards) there are no fewer than three different voices in conversation with each other! Extraordinary composition.
I have never heard anything so moving, so emotional and so profoundly beautiful as the the few minutes following 1:51 .... absolute genius of a composer meets the greatest Schubert pianist of the 20th century.
I had the privilege of seeing him live before he retired; this and Oscar Peterson's performance about 15 years before are imprinted on my memory forever.
It is very rare to see - in a kind of live recording - such combination of subtil touch and - in the same time - the melodic clarity keepted but without emotional aspect. When Brendel meet Schubert, the music is just here in a perfect balance. Bravo.
ingrid englitsch So sehr ich Brendel (und seinen Lehrer Edwin Fischer) bei Schubert mag, bekenne ich offen, dass diese Aufnahmen Ihren Meister in Krystian Zimerman (sämtliche 8 Impromptus) gefunden hat. Vor allem das op. 142/4 (D 935) hatte ich sowohl bei Schnabel, E. Fischer und Brendel nie verstanden. Erst Zimerman öffnete mir Ohren (und Augen) für diese Ausnahme-Komposition. Bei Zimerman wird die Nähe dieser Impromptus und Klaviersonaten (D 959 & D 960) zu den Sinfonien (Nr. 8 & 9: "Unvollendete" und "Grosse C-Dur") überdeutlich (zumindest in Furtwänglers Interpretationen)! :D
There's nothing to beat this music, certainly not in Pop Music Land. A priceless gift from my parents (mostly mother) was being bathed in classical music from an early age. For as long as I can remember there'd often be something on the gramophone (vinyl record player) or the Third Programme or Radio Three as it became in 1967. And instrumental teaching ('cello and piano) with singing in my school's choir.
Le grand Schubert doit être heureux là où il est de cette merveilleuse interprétation de Alfred Brendel, comme dans toutes ses interprétations de ce merveilleux compositeur, Merci à eux, c'est du vrai bonheur !
+francis buyse D'accord avec vous, merveilleux Alfred, je reste scotché en l'écoutant et en le regardant, ça me va loin mais de façon plus que positive, un vraie bonheur!, j'aimerai tellement l'avoir à une master classe (rêver ça apporte un peu de bonheur, alors rêvons :), Bref! j'adore Brendel dans n'importe quel registre
Je suis d'accord, Alfred Brendel incarne parfaitement l'esprit romantique de Schubert. C'est una version merveilleuse pour l'agogique, la délicatesse du toucher, la maintien du temps...
Brendel at his peak. And that means an infinite lot. To appreciate with utmost reverence. This is among the very best music making via piano playing ever committed to tape.
Quizas la version mas pura de los impromptus de F.Schubert un compositor excepcional que aun merece mayor reconocimiento del que obtuvo. Belleza en estado puro.
Unimpeachable performance . It is impossible for us to imagine regret of the great composer who died at the age of ３１． His works purify our heart and soul .
Also of note in the fourth Impromptu besides the help from the left hand where it helps bring out the composers intended musical affect are the beautifully played parallel scales and quick right hand thirds and trills with zing and the beautifully modulated slight crescendo and ritardando on the small bridge on the the reprise of the opening theme , all of which aren't easy at all... heard Brendel play this several times in concert and always fantastic like this
Brendel's musicality, scholarship and sheer artistic integrity shines through every note of these great works. For example the flowing duet episodes of the first impromptu in F minor is simply spellbinding. Finally it is insulting to such an artist as this man to have annoying ads interrupting such a profound listening experience.
I attended during my life several recitals by Brendel, mainly Beethoven, his great musicianship is monumental. Reluctant to give encores I'll never forget how Brendel decided, after finishing opus 111, to conclude the recital with an encore of all encore's: Fur Elise. One could a pin hear drop, inforgettable. Why is it so important to a lot of people to crown a pianist or violinist as the Best, the Greatest, the King or what ever? How to compare Haskil with Lipatti, Pollini or Yuja Wang, Heifetz with Oistrakh or Janine Jansen? They are all gods of a kind of Olympos, but stil vulnerabale and mortal human beings.
Quelle cadence, quelle extase, quel interprète totalement merveilleux... May he be doing well and even much better than that, in his age which is now starting to be great, great as he is and he's for posterity anyway... We love you Monsieur Brendel ;-)
I played guitar for years, and always thought "guitar face" was funny, but piano players have them beat, they can be very dramatic and fluid, expressive. Great video thanks.
I was not aware until now that the third impromptu of this D935 consists of a theme with variations. Definitively, the best of all this great pianist's interpretation of all Schubert's impromptus including those in D969, as well. It's only my personal opinion. Just wonderful!!
Klare und saubere Aufführung dieses romantischen Meisterwerks im angemessenen Tempo mit anmütigem Anschlag und sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik ohne überflüssige Agogik. Echt unvergleichlicher Pianist!
The only regret I have was at the time when he was having his last recital at Boston, I was so eager to waited in line to buy the ticket at Boston symphony hall, the line were wrapped around the building. But after waited for almost half an hour later only to found tickets were sold out at two persons in front of me!
Schubert was just sublime, I am sure it was dictation, and the pianist too, they made such a pair! Of course I am biased, I was raised in a family where Schubert was god
@@nedhopkins897 There are some indications "Schubert was god": The two symphonies "Unfinished" and "Great C major" and the last 3 piano sonatas! Not to forget the "Lieder" (not "Lieders" because "Lieder" is already plural)! :D
Brendel channels Schubert's spirit like no other. He's on a level of his own.
I know of no other composer who, with a few simple notes makes you utterly fly away in joy and then suddenly, with the next few notes, makes you want to weep like a baby.
I know of a few other ones : Brahms and Chopin, for instance.
Vous oubliez tous l'essentiel plis que n'importe quel autre compositeur, Mozart évidemment

Doen't even come from a musical family!
i had some lessons with a jazz pianist who quietly mentioned Brendel was his uncle, although I imagine you were talking about in the other direction
Of course there will never be another one... We passed the years of quality, as humanity, at everything. Sorry for my English.
Nice
I agree. For me, Brendel just gets it all so right, and he never loses the rhythm or cadence, where many other pianists do. Exquisite!
I will never in my lifetime tire of viewing and listening to this.
Che bella musica!

Indeed, I really envy you... must have been a unique moment of sharing with your loved one too, I can imagine so, you lucky guy ;-).
The way he plays piano always makes me cry.
