Wunderschöne und melodische Interpretation dieser fein oder perfekt komponierten Klavierwerke in verschiedenen Tempi mit klarem doch zugleich anmutigem Anschlag und mit sorgfältig kontollierter Dynamik. Wahrlich intelligente und geniale Pianistin!
Mendelssohn - nach Nietzsche mit bittersüßem Zungenschlag "der schöne Zwischenfall der deutschen Musik" - wärmt und ist Balsam für deine Seele. immer und immer wieder.
absolutely exquisite interpretations, a bit slower and more measured than Barenboims but still emotionally affective..Venetian Gondola swims so beautifully into my heart, my God. ,I love you.
Unique in musical expression. Such a purity, lightness, sincerity, simplicity, directness and modesty in expression mixed with human passion is the first time I hear. Such interpretation diserves sometimes a slower tempo.
Essas canções sem palavras de Mendelssohn são uma verdadeira carícia para nossa alma! E os nossos ouvidos só podem percebê-la por meio de uma tradução ao piano, que é o caso dessa interpretação repleta de competente ternura!
Thank you for introducing both Mendelssohn and Danielle to your listeners so interestingly. I really enjoyed her interpretation and her delicate performance of these lovely works,
Thank you! I have listened to this today with great pleasure. These works are unfamiliar to me - I have made a very happy discovery, thanks to your dedication, generosity and hard work.
São belas canções que nos ascendem espiritualmente. Boa para pensarmos nos quatro elementos da natureza, inclusive no crepitar da madeira pela ação do enigmático fogo.

The voice leading and counterpoint choices are questionable at times, perhaps this is why some of these pieces are less than stellar. Beautifully played by Danielle, though.

.... and ...... LISTEN to the MUSIC !
I'm glad I discovered this exceptional music, the performance is at its height.
I'm not sure I've ever heard such command of these pieces. Old Felix himself would I'm certain be glowing with pride and pleasure to hear his wonderful, whimsical, powerful, gracefully lovely pieces played by this so very gifted pianist.
The ear always knows what it likes and enjoys listening to! This is one of those situations :)
The h-ear-t knows better! - This is played 'by heart' all over !

Super 👍🎧
Danke, das hat großen Spass gemacht …😉
Thank you for introducing both Mendelssohn and Danielle to your listeners so interestingly. I really enjoyed her interpretation and her delicate performance of these lovely works,
The first piece in this recording looks ahed to Brahms Intermezzi... so warm and gorgeous.
Thanks; so beautiful!!!
Well, hats off, this IS a "reference recording" indeed. Everything else now feels too slow or too fast or underaccentuated.
fantastico
Thank you a kind man!!! Your videos always on the top!!!

Nice recording. Many times better than the one from Barenboim, which is boringly played down
Gorgeous chick with an insane talent!
16:38 This could have been written by Bach - this tonic against leading tone feels like him to some extent
It does sound like a song. And it's frustrating for me, because when I feel like singing along, I realise that there are no lyrics. And it's weird
Why not vocalise without words, just follow the music wherever it takes you?
All piano
Op on First piece?
op.67 no.3 in B flat
Il semble qu’elle ait bien écouté l’interprétation hors du temps de Ignaz Friedmann et qu’elle ait eu l’intelligence de s’en inspirer.
19:37
Who would dare to write the lyrics.... ?
Piano
The real meaning of freedom does not exist in life, we only can be perfectly free if we were non-existent !!!!! FACT !!!!! 💙
But not to exist is no alternative. I know nobody to whom this occured.
Vous êtes donc prédéterminé, prédestiné, vous n'écrivez pas cela de vous-même, c'est juste la résultante de votre histoire matérielle... Ainsi de ma réaction. Ou pas. Je me plais à penser que notre liberté de penser est un cadeau inaliénable dont nous pouvons user a notre guise, mais dont la plupart n'ont que faire et s'en désencombrent en s'inventant toutes sortes de pseudo obligations qui leur évitent de se donner la peine d'être libres.
So you compare yourself to a free range chicken, that will be slaughtered nevertheless! But thanks God, it’s not a reality many of us live.
Freedom has no meaning without existence.

Combien ont été composées par Fanny Henzel Mendelssohn. Brillante mais qui n’avait pas le droit de se faire connaitre
The voice leading and counterpoint choices are questionable at times, perhaps this is why some of these pieces are less than stellar. Beautifully played by Danielle, though.
Where?
maybe doesn't reach the level of Chopin or Schumann but still very good. played as a child.
