Congratulations Kreisler, you played yourself.
Well-played

oh my word. here, have the yt comment award ^^
Kreisler was a violin virtuoso of the 20th century so it isn't really remarkable that he played it.
“You need to know happiness to experience sadness, and you need to know sadness to experience happiness”- Liebesleid
Kei Obata that’s what love is about, not only the happiness but also the sadness otherwise it would only be liebesfreud , but he also had liebesleid
Lie in April quotes? :/
"That phrase" moved my heart
Ah yes, depression
So... how do you enter the cycle?
Does anyone notice how much it sounds sad but happy at the same time?, It's like taking the first step to melancholy...
It makes me a bit emotional when I think of it... I don't know why... I guess it's the music.
Mesmo na parte em tom maior eu a acho triste.
While being a "cheerful" piece, you can sense the "frown behind the smile". Or that's how the song feels to me.
It sounds like a dance with your lover , but you don’t know if she loves you back , so you’re thoughts are full of happiness and at the same time their full of anxiety if you’re good enough or if she / he loves you back .... that’s some liebesleid 😭 Love it
exactly
I am 84 & still listening to Mr Kreisler.The greatest ever.I listened since I was 6 yrs old.
Dude, that’s epic
78 years of Loves Sorrow, wish this piece of music was known more
Cheers mate
F
Why F, I wonder he is not dead :((
Thank you Kreisler, I learned by "Liebesleid" that Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass. It is about learning to dance in the rain. Hang in there!!
Well said
As usual, exquisitely lovely! I had the pleasure of hearing the Maestro himself play this at Orchestra Hall, Chicago in 1947 on one of his last solo recitals, with Carl Lamson at the piano. He was already an old tired man by that point, but he stayed on stage and played 9 encores! Then my father and I got to go backstage and meet Kreisler. Incredibly heady stuff for a seven year-old violin student of three years! No one else has ever played like him!
fydler7640 jeez that’s a while back
@hirokorchid77 I do still play, and I teach violin for beginners thru advanced students. I went on to a Bachelor's in violin performance from the University of Arizona. Kreisler is still tops in my book!
stay safe man!
That is for sure a life defining experience, greetings :)
How awesome!
"He did not play the violin, he became the violin."
therefore he played him self
He didn't become the violin, he was the violin!
the violin played him
My violin teacher’s neighbor/first music teacher, in a sense, was very close to Kreisler, and had several of his original recordings at his house. So, my music teacher grew up hearing Kreisler’s recordings and playing them similarly (or as closely as she could). Her neighbor was super nice, and the reason why I called him her first music teacher in a sense is that he bought her first violin for her, and bought some for her siblings too. He was really supportive of the family, and I just thought I should share.
We can introduce children to another world like that too. It could be by taking them to beautiful gardens, market gardens or a nursery where they can buy a selection of plants to begin their own garden.
That’s beautiful
Fritz Kreisler alone made me fall in love with the violin! I was lucky enough to have been taken to one of his concerts when I was a little girl. I'll never forget it!
@Patricia Fouquet how old are you?
Broken Maybe, she's older than Jesus
Quelle chance ! Comme je vous envie !
Don't be that rude... Admire old people...
Dont joke anout Jesus pls respect him, and let us Repent God knows I need to
The picture feels like kreisler is staring at my soul.
The music feels like Kreisler is staring into my soul. (In a good way)
My dog stares into my soul…
To me, at first, it's like you lost your lover and you miss him or her, then you remind all your the good time you spent and all the happiness you felt with that person, but at the end, it makes you feel nostalgic and sad one more time.
It's happy and also sad, that's why I love it.
Well said!
It´s awesome to hear this played by the same composer that wrote it, it should be beautiful to hear Chopin or Liszt playing their own pieces
That would be great! I would love to hear Chopin play.
I’m learning fantaise impromptu on piano by Chopin😃💅🏻
@@KminaF kids these days..
@@rats335lmfao
You won't hear Liszt playing his works, but you can listen to his students play, and they are very good. Lamond, Rosenthal (Chopin's grandpupil too), Sauer, Friedheim, Paul Pabst (One of Rachmaninoff's teachers), De Greef, Siloti, Sophie Menter (We sadly only have her in the form of piano rolls)
I love this piece and his killer mustache.
his mustache is epic
I want that Moustache
the mustache honestly makes evrything better
The hair too !!
When i listened to this, it feels like what human are experiencing in general. There's no day in which you'll feel an emotion to the fullest extent, there must be another emotion or set of emotions that sort of hidden behind what you're feeling the most. There's a hint of nostalgia as many people said here, and a sense of recalling something in their past that makes all the emotions just flows right in front of you.
Very well said! The piece is sad and sweet at the same time
After listening all the greats - and they were really great - you still come back home to the one and only, Friz Kriesler.
Kreisler not Kriesler"
When Kreisler first started playing this to audiences, he told them it was composed by Joseph Lanner. Just like today, many audiences were only interested in older music so the only way Kreisler could play his own compositions was to claim they were by someone else 200 years ago. Kreisler did this with numerous other pieces such as a Violin Concerto in C Major he was trying to pass off as being composed by Vivaldi.
That’s a fun thing to know ty
my first violin teacher was a nun who played very like Kreisler - she was a superbly talented musician. I didn't realise how talented she was for many years. Shet aught me for three years then had a heart attack and was retired. Her replacement said playing violin was all about technique - even then I could tell her music had no soul to it, expressed no emotion. even now, fifty years later I still miss my teacher, my friend.
So full of emotion..The sorrow and sadness of loss brought me here.
Oh god. Shigatsu wa kimi no uso everywhere ;o;
+Lisa Liesje yep. Of course!..
+The Human Metronome Void of Emotion it's good to know how the original composer interpreted his piece.
+Lisa Liesje Well, it's an amazing anime, definitely! Deserves to be everywhere, I guess...
Zygote and you are you not
Kreisler was a great talent and a man with a big heart. His music "Liebesleid" is fantastic and with deep emotions.
I notice the increase in vitality, joy and exuberance that accompany the advancing years, just as they are reflected in the photographs.
It’s so simple but I can feel the emotions so clearly. This is a truly great version.
The second recording has more passion in my opinion - it's amazing how 12 years of life experience can make a difference!
+Lella Yeldurts Kreisler had jewish roots. one can only imagine what he experienced in the time beetween 1930 and 1942
+theT963 The last syllable of the title of the piece will have become the important part.
+theT963 You are absolutely right in historical aspect, but did the world know what really happened until the end of the war?
+Lella Yeldurts Too bad the orchestra isn't really following him on the Viennese lilt. The accompanist followed him in the first recording though, which is very very nice! This is one of the only recordings I've heard that actually has the lilt, I wonder why
row?
The second recording sounds as thought he now really understands "Love's Sorrow".
Once I told my mum that I don't remember when was the first time I listened to Love's Sorrow, she reply " Since you were in my womb " . I love you mum you have a great taste 😘
It's beautiful to see how the depth of his sound and the resounding emotions change in the second performance when compared to the first, it shows how he changed over time and continued to learn and evolve as an artist, truly beautiful.
First version for sure, sublime for violin lovers !
There's something so humbling about this performance, from the moment it started.
what a leap of expression within 12 years
Wow. Rachmaninoff totally changed the fundamentals of the song, and made the harmony much more chromatic and added a lot of passing tones, and that cadenza thing.
Piece
@@bossshrek1241idiot
It's a wonderful arrangement though
Simplicity, genius and soul. Thanks for the upload.
Kreisler had his own unique sound and it’s so amazing to hear such a great violinist I am 15 and I strive to have my own sound :)
Incredible to hear his sound and the true feeling with which his work was written. This is a treasure.
As well as benefiting from orchestral comfort, the second performance has the wisdom that comes with age.
Thank you for uploading Fritz Kreisler. He knows how to play his works. Delightful this Liebesleid, love's sorrow.
Wow I've been listening to this piece a lot lately. I'm absolutely mesmerized by this piece. I look forward to the day where I'll be able to play this on the piano. So beautiful
I used to listen Fritz Kreisler when I was 8 years old. I love it!
One of the only few plays pre-1950 that has ever been simple. All the while expressing the complex nature of human emotions.
Much more feeling in his later version. I Love it! Much improved IMO. A beautiful man and musician! Bravo 👏🏻!
This song has always sounded comically sad , so much sorrow yet laughing at happiness like it’s a joke. Such a beautiful piece 🥺
I love how there are parts that do sound profoundly sad, then some parts just make you feel happy, then again profoundly sad. Beautiful.
The first performance was magnificent!
Kreisler will forever be one of my favorite violinists, what an absolute legend he was!
...Wikipedia is right, Kreisler's playing is really sweet and expressive. Modern violinists should try to be more like him.
Itzhak perlman?????

+DeltaSilver88 Lindsey Stirling??!!
+Jerina Engel No
+Diego Josue Flores fucking lol
Grateful me for Listening to Fritz Kreisler…
I came here from "Your Lie In April" but the original...IS WAY BETTER! I love how slow it's played! (Slow music calms me.)
I see, you're a (wo)man of culture and a cultured weaboo. (but I came also from Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso[Your Lie in April] and I looked in the comments to find some weebs like you)
I originally found Kreisler through Kiniro no Corda (specifically focuses around a music academy).
Granted, I only found Corda because I've been a classical fangirl all my life. Disney's Fantasia, anyone?
It's because it was Rachmaninoff's arrangement of Kreisler's Liebesleid. But yeah, I agree with you. I also prefer Kreisler's over Rachmaninoff's take on his work.
I wasn't really a huge fan of Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso when it came out, and was adamant that Nodame Cantabile was far better.
But as an adult, I've since grown from that narrow point of view, and had come to terms with my feelings (of contempt, mostly) towards Kimiuso (As I was never really a fan of very popular anime. Kind of still am to this day, but I'm at least more understanding now than I was back then).
I now appreciate Kimiuso for what it was able to achieve, the emotional core of the show that resonated with the fans, in lieu of its flaws as an anime "centered" on classical music.
@@DeltaSilver88 Gosh! I just remembered that I was supposed to watch the original Fantasia a few months ago. Well, it isn't too late to go watch it now. 😅
Really? I'm more partial to Rachmaninoff's transcription, but I'm definitely biased; I love all of Rachmaninoff's works. Lol
Priceless recording. Thanks!
Interprétation 1942, merveille absolue. Personne n'a pu faire mieux et pourtant ils avaient le modèle.
Kreisler has got to be one of my favorite melodists!! I cant believe I didn't come across him sooner!
Mein Herz weint vor Freunde 😭❤
After your love was denied finally you got it. Very touching piece
"I found it in the bookshelf, there were so many markings on it."
Ich höre Wehmut und Hoffnung, eines meiner Lieblingsstücke.
Fritz Kreisler playing Fritz Kreisler -- wow! No one has ever played Kreisler like Fritz himself. Once I had heard him, he spoiled me for anyone else's rendition. Exquisite little gem!
I am grateful beyond words for the chance to hear this. Unbelievably beautiful. I give endless thanks for the existence of RUclips.
Ich bin ein Bär von Mann ..wenn ich dieses Lied höre , kommen mir die Tränen ! Well done mr. Kreisler !!
Imagine being the accompanist and playing this piece solo because your violinist didn’t show up to the competition. 🤦♂️
I just watched that situation in ,,Your Lie in April" with that masterpiece
Wolwix Taran watching it now as well
But that was Rachmanioff’s arrangement
@@christinesadventure yeah, but that was actually such a smart move to put that in the show!
It's not a competition though.
Found in "If a winters night four travelars" game,, this music was a masterpiece
Such tenderness, sensitivity and warmth! The world shall never forget you. I am a self-taught violinist from Melb who plays light music in charities. Met and had 3 meals with Ruggiero Ricci in 1999.
As a person from Munich - as soon as I hear this music I think of Vienna and the slowly towards Hungary and Romania flowing Danube...
there is introduction and rondo capriccioso in my youtube recommendations
i see
youtube algorithm is a man of "culture" as well
Although the second version is beautifully played, I much prefer the earlier recording. The simple piano accompaniment suits this intimate bit of melancholy far better than does the over-elaborate version with orchestra.
Thank you twoset for intruducing me to this lovely piece
What a wonderful gift for those who love music like I do! An amazing performance by the composer Fritz Kreiler playing his own composition. I just loved it.
My mother used to sing this beautiful song and I learned it. Always a joy.
The second recording is just so amazing, wow
My mother listened him she said he was wonderful !!!💙💛💖
1930 = regret/nostalgia. 1942 = warmth/fulfillment! Both beautiful, of course.
Wow accurate
Гениальный скрипач, композитор и глаза
доводят до слёз.....
Me too! So tender, sad and yet we hear him go on, head high and hopeful. Heartbreaking lovely.
Fritz Kreisler has was an inspiration to me as a young student of the violin and I still cherish his music.
Likewise here.
this is one of my favorates played by this very man, what a wonderful work of art
Thank you so much for posting. It’s a wonderful project comparing these two version of one genius.
Recorded 1930, caused my heart to skip 2022, pure beauty.
Same
Wow. This is the first time I've heard of Kriesler of Liebesland. Beautiful. Lovely to hear the original. It could be interpreted way differently by someone just reading the sheet music.
Whenever I listen to this tune, It makes me cry, remembering my late father, who was born in Vienna about 100 years ago ❤
What a beautiful photo, too, of the older Kreisler, I mean! Such a lively and joyful expression, such a beautiful face!
...Very beautiful, there are many great virtuosos nowadays, but it's very rare to find someone who can play with such artistry and interesting details.....
The best memories with my dad who taught me who Kreisler was. I love it, is really melancholic and sweet. All this inmigrants who lost their countries make me so sad. His music has this longing for his country.
Love the 1942 version a bit more. More mature, more emotional... Like a bittersweet story to tell.
I prefer the earlier version: not because I think that Kreisler's playing in the later version is inferior, but because I very much prefer the simple piano accompaniment in the first version to the over-orchestrated accompaniment in the later recording.
@@fourstrings48 I agree.
I love them both too much
I study violín and listen to him everytime i can , he plays with soul and Heart, 💖
Bittersweet and nostalgic airs of a bygone era
Nobody can get away with that many slides any more.
Paul Deck I thought the same thing
Check out L Shankar
The good old days in 3 minutes
0:00 to 8:05 is the best part of this music
hol' up
@@marensavino nah man, 0:00 to 8:05 is wayyy better.
Thanks for the hint. I'll check that part out.
I have no idea in classical music but I always love listening to it. It makes me sad and happy at the same time. I always want to learn piano but I never given a chance. Now I love listening to any kind of instruments. I can feel the peace.
kmzai , You should start learning about classical music and composers, I have learned so much from studying it, and I only listen to classical. I also play Violin and Piano! I very much agree that every instrument is beautiful!
@@hayleygreer8634 But where do I learn about all the music and composers?
When i close my eyes i feel a "hollow" feeling and also makes me feel like im yearning for something
You can feel the man's emotion, it's really amazing. Would have love to see the man playing it. What a piece of art.
Lovely. Thank you for posting these two versions of Kreisler's performances.
よくクライスラー演奏の音源がありましたね。 宝だと思います。(^^)
...I felt like in 1930 he played like for himself..:-)
..and in 1942 - for someone very special...
..many thanks for the post !
My mom turned me on to old Fritz! Thank god! Fritz was great!!
kreisler was one of the few people who can play kreisler without it sounding too sweet.
Bellísimo, ingresa al Alma y la acaricia, con un dejo de dolor y alegría a la vez!! ❤❤❤
Its a release listening his music. This told about his happiness
Congratulations, you played yourself .I really like this song
Great to hear it straight from the source---thanks for posting this!
Thanks for sharing. Both are treasurable but for me I find the first more immediate. The second sounds more nostalgic, not surprising given the artist's age and what was going on in Europe at the time. The sound he makes is simply extraordinary and he is a master of the bitter-sweet.
That point was the 2 most biggest war’s middle point, and it is just beautiful!!
Let's also appreciate the pianist who perfectly dances along wth Kreislers beatiful rubato. That is missing in the orchestral version, also beautiful, but less elegant imo.
This has such heart piercing sweetness! Wonderful.
Lovely! It sounds authentic. The recording is good for such an age. I think that with piano he has more freedom, as the pianist - also very good - can follow. I presume that was made using his Stradivari violin? Beautiful phrase-shaping. Who can play with such simple but effective expression nowadays? I am rather surprised there is no double stopping! Also, in the piano transcription it is marked "Tempo di Valse", not landler (German dance).
