It's the most favourite piece of mine from the Western Classicals. The music transports to a different realm altogether; melancholic, nostalgic, yearning, peace. Watery pearls flow from the eyes every time I listen to it reminding me of the beloved better half I lost not so long ago and of the some of the most sweetest and memorable times spent together that we were for forty years. Intend to use it as background music in the video that I plan to make on her. This music acts as lullaby making me go to sleep at night with sweet memories, yearning and teary eyes.

Thank you for this wonderful compilation. It is so rich an experience to be able to listen to these many many outstanding performances of such a superbly pianistic transcription, Listz at his most persuasive, and Schubert...well, there are no words. The two performances I found to be the most beautiful, and by a significant degree, were those by Horowitz and Rachmaninoff.
Professor Kaushik Liszt/ Schubert Ständchen - all are masterpieces. Imposant und beruhigend. Every night before sleep I listen to these transcending me to a different world!!! Thank you RUclips!
All of them play marvelous but Horowitz really touches my heart. Many years after his death, his widow was asked in an interview which music piece she would wants him to play at this moment. She answered without thinking a second : "The Serenade!"
@@robertnisonoff3907But his interpretation is much closer to the original tempo of the actual song. All the others drag the melody like a dirge. The song is love song, a serenade, not a funeral march.
Disagree with your analysis. A love song and a serenade especially must convey the yearning one feels with that type of emotion. Hohowitz never had the sensisitivity to understand or convey that emotion. He only knows how to play through it. @@toomuchrose
@@robertnisonoff3907I disagree with you. Listen to the original song and then listen to Horowitz. The tempo should not be dragged out to the ends of the earth. This is not how to convey the emotion that Schubert intended. Almost all pianists these days think that playing everything very slowly somehow equates to conveying emotion when in actual fact all it conveys is sickly sentimentality, rather like Lennie Bernstein's treatment of Mahler in which he pulls the music down into funereal pace with his staggeringly slow tempos. Mind you, he did that with just about everything.
AO Wow.. Finally come across this eternally beloved Schubert/Liszt - Ständchen Serenade keyboard version played by 10 great pianists - in their own individually unique.. and breathtakingly touching ways! Thank you, thank you so much for uploading.. Mucho Gracias, Mucho Gracias, Merci Beaucoup, Ich Danke Dir Sehr, Tausend Dank, Xie Xie, Xie Xie.. and for all the beautiful, lovely exquisite artworks..
His rendition of this piece is emotionally mindblowing. The colors he brings. His use of the pedal, the clearness, the dynamics. It makes it particularly unique.
I quite agree; the ‘echo’ is a bit naughty, but very nice- a little ‘Godowskian’; but I have to fall on the side of Rachmaninov in the end, even tho’ his rubato teeters on parody.
In my middle school, our music teacher taught us the song version in Korean. We had to sing it dutifully without any sentiment of a lover's yearning because romance is prohibited when you are underage. It always brings a smile when I remember those days of jumping ropes and singing this song. All are very beautiful and I like Horowitz the best.
Are there other songs that are more melancholy and sorrowful than this song？ My heart aches as I think of this great composer who died at the age of ３１．This song strongly shakes the human soul.

What a memorable collection of superb performances of this intimate Schubert piece! For this Liszt transposition, I always checks the playing time - most around 6 minutes. I tend to listen more closely those over 6 minutes as some lengthy ones close to 7 minutes! I miss Leslie Howard's recording here - he recorded entire Liszt -Schubert transposition in 1990s
I love the comparison of famous themes. The Ginzsberg piano sounds sooo mellow. Gorgeously played. If I were serenading someone's it would be sooo subdued.
in this piece, Horowitz is at his true peak. Forget the showmanship that makes a large part of his legacy, the real reason he remains one of if not the best pianist of the 20th century is shown in this piece. The harsh right hand sound at the beginning, the breathtaking dynamics, the echo sound. No one plays pieces like these like him.
Only a keen desire that it wanted it to live longer is remains. It would be an irreversible loss for this great composer to die while he was young. I felt the contradiction that is strong in the standard of length and life and death of the life of human world. Why was he destined to die young？ Would it have to be him？ I never know it. It becomes heartbreaking when I listen to this great song while thinking about his life. I am tingling with anger and deep grief. From Tokyo of Japan
Be thankful that he came to life! Maybe the Divinity who sent him down here to pass on some Celestial music thought that after 31 years his mission was accomplished.

Amazing that Vlad can sometimes make Schubert sound chopinesque...As always, Rachmaninoff & Horowitz are in a league of their own, although Alfred Brendel sometimes joins, as does Artur Schnabel - the last three, more or less, specialists in Schubert's milieu... I hear otherwise splendid pianists strangely sometimes choose to ignore perfomance practices indicated by the composer, and that are settled performance practice for more than a century...it doesn't improve their legacy....As Schnabel emphasized re Beethoven's music, the unadorned music has all the desired drama, if played straight, and with the composer's copious suggestions in he score... there are infinite variations within the composer's specifications...
Je trouve les interprétations de Horowitz et Rachmaninoff trop stressantes. Par contre celle de Brigitte Engerer me plonge dans un état de douceur infinie. Je vous recommande sur RUclips celle de Katharina Treutler absolument sublime.
Pour moi, Anna Malikova est #1; followed by Bridget Engerer #2. Malikova plays the slowest of all, and I often prefer "slow".. I can't wait to explore more of Schubert - I've been buried for 2-4 decades in Impressionist piano, esp Ravel❤️ and Satie❤️. So this is a nice change.. I'm sorry to say (since he has so many fans here), but I like the Horowitz the least as I feel he takes TOO many liberties.. Who is the artist of the superb paintings?
Khatia Buniatishvili you forgot! (at Verbier Festival, on a fenomenal Steinway Grand) and that is I find the best ever (even without all the nude parties)
I saw Kathia yesterday at Palau de la Música in Barcelona playing this piece and others. The worst concert I have ve seen in my life, she is not in the same category that Horowitz, Richter, Brendel, Kissin, Pollini...
Hi Manuel Mates, may be you exaggerate a little bit in the negative, however you could be right. From my perspective (as I told) Khatia's version at the Verbier Festival of this Standchen was and is my Golden Standard. Look: ruclips.net/video/SlTTgJau33Q/видео.html and tell my when she is using the right pedal, I cannot see it, thanks, greetings & love from Malden The Netherlands!
She doesn't belong in this exalted company. I've seen her in concert twice and both times she encored with this piece and both times it was excrutiatingly awful. She stretched it to ridiculous lengths - almost ten minutes long! She is a show pony, a posturing pianist who pulls this piece to the emotional ends of the earth.
Human beings can not understand will of God. Human beings cannot know does God consider and how to behave. A result is just accepted. We can't imagine the regrettable of this great composer who died at the age ３１．His regrettable mind is immeasurable to us.

@@ВераВиноградова-д3с wow, saying someone is always shallow is very harsh. The same for saying All the Chinese pianists are very robotic. I’ve seen Kathia play some parts which I didn’t like, because she was showing off her skill in playing many notes per second instead of making music. But in this case, both Kathia and Lang Lang are neither shallow nor robotic. If you say I do like the others more, that’s fine with me and I’m glad that there are many excellent pianists so we all can enjoy the same music, because of the different styles they bring.
Certains interprètes ne gardent pas la parfaite égalité de tempo de la main gauche, ce qui est bien dommage ! Pour moi la plus belle interprétation est celle de Khatia Buniatishvili.
It's supposed to represent trepidation. The protagonist is not confident but jealous and intimidated by the unseen competition for the object of his heart's want. Tré pathetique. When I play the introduction I don't play it ridged staccato. I play as if my fingers were my words and my words were a plea, restrained in my trembling throat; heart pounding; timid; wanting desperately to be heard yet abjectly terrified of rejection.
Just some brief observations while listening... I found none of the versions convincing. Then again, this is, in my opinion, a piece that is really hard to bring convincingly. 01 0:00Very controlled, cantabile, a bit uninspired 02 3:58 Piano / recording?

Rachmaninov playing Schubert/Lizst ! What a treat !
merci, merci, c'est un vrai bonheur d'écouter ces différentes interprétations!
Rachmaninoff walked to the window as his student sat down to the piano. Outside were the mimosas lining the Parisienne boulevard. "Play that, play the gold, " he requested.
"Show me how," she responded.
And he sat and proceeded to play the color. She never forgot. A child can imitate anything.

I love the comparison of famous themes. The Ginzsberg piano sounds sooo mellow. Gorgeously played. If I were serenading someone's it would be sooo subdued.
I didn't know Horowitz's famous piece was recorded in 1989, the year he passed away.
A very fitting narrative for the title of the suite this piece belongs to, "Schwanengesang" or "Swan Song".
On balance, the Horowitz I think. What a pianist, what a musician. No one quite like him and seemed to get better with age!
Chapman 🕎 Horowitz 🕎un peu facile
A Serenade from the Heaven Realms, played by ten sets of angels fingers. I hope it gets played daily there.
They're all wonderful unique versions. But, in my case (very subjective!), the version by Alexander Ghindin is the one that engaged me the most.
I like Anna Malikova's version best. And that reminds me of Katarina Treutler's more recent version, which is the best of all.
in this piece, Horowitz is at his true peak. Forget the showmanship that makes a large part of his legacy, the real reason he remains one of if not the best pianist of the 20th century is shown in this piece.

(rachmaninoff js the only other who plays in the style to horowitz! And if horowitz is not the greatest of the 20th century, Rachmaninoff certainly is
The versions I liked the most are Engerer's and Rachmaninoff's.
She was only a mere 60 when she died. Beautiful touch.
Боже мой, благодарю!
Это прекрасно!
At the enchanted metropolitan twilight you have felt a haunting loneliness sometimes while listening to this masterpiece.
