Simply something that cannot be “taught” - instinct. Frustating. The una corda should be stricken from the piano. It simply muffles the sound and too many pianists who lack listening use it. A pianist should be able to play a pianissimio that can he heard in any corner of a concert hall. Too few can. It is an offensive sound on any piano.
I almost feel like they could be to fall in love, I honestly find women in clothes that cover their entire bodies, like Yulliana Avdeeva, very attractive.
The Baritone is actually a Tenor, his chest voice is really good, he needs more release. The soprano doesn't have developed chest voice, and I don't think Netrebko is a good example for a young singer, Sembrich, Callas, Zeani, Tetrazzini are far better examples.
all the people here in the comments complain about Maisky's talking, and I think nobody got the real point. All he told was more useful than any tips on how ro play this piece. Maisky told simply that to play at a very artistic level one must have special heartfull features, and those features one has naturally or you cannot build them, no matter what kind of technic and school. He speaks at an incredibly high artistic and human level, but people wanted to hear "play like this, play like that".
I think Andris needs to work on finding more warmth in his sound, but given the circumstances, nerves get in the way. And his pronunciation is good but there are things he can improve as well, like double consonants. The goal is vocal freedom to express the meaning of the words and intentions of the character, and sing beautifully.
We should be grateful to Leif Ove Andsnes and other world-class pianists who are willing to offer master classes. Its also noteworthy that in so many cases, the masters have to correct the mistakes done by students which involve the very basic principle or fundamentals of piano playing
1 Danills Kuzmis - questo bravo ragazzo non è baritono vero , è un tenore . 2 65 anni fa i giovani mettevano una moneta tra i denti per trovare la posizione giusta… Questa bellissima ragazza canta in modo assurdo , la Maestra non dice niente … La scuola moderna sta ignorando l’esistenza dei Trattati di canto come quello di Garcia dove un giovane può trovare tutte le indicazioni utili per cantare … Come cantavano i giovani 65 anni fa ?! Era molto semplice di cantare gli alunni avevano delle bellissime voci da giovani. Mi ricordo una ragazzina che a soli 18 anni interpretava Violetta sul palco, Germont aveva 20… no comment il vecchio
You can clearly tell you’re dealing with an incredibly professional singer. Renee Fleming is giving her full attention and respect to the students. It is so rare to find a Masterclass where the coach, in this case Fleming, actually takes the time to work even on the smallest of nuances. She’s being so true to the art. I love this and these students are so fortunate!
En fait, au final, ces chanteurs doivent réapprendre à chanter. Ils ont tout simplement une mauvaise technique. Une belle voix, de beaux vêtements mais une mauvaise technique… En plus ils n’articulent pas.
It seems as if she is bothered by him teaching her ...she clenches her jaw and has facial expressions of a angry child at times. A bit more humility would do her well...though she just may be frustrated with herself
This was so hard to watch. A literal monologue for an hour. Absolutely no teaching was done in this video. The student was give 0 chances to try to apply any new ideas. And the only other playing was Mischa feeling the need to play through half of the Prelude. And it ended with him talking about himself for 38 minutes.
The soprano singing Adriana, was quite good, and sounded right singing the aria. The singers before her I agree were to light for the repertoire they chose to sing. Donizetti, Rossini, Bellini and Mozart would have been better choices
It’s amazing in today’s world that there are still teachers who don’t emphasize the richness of Chopin’s inner voices and harmonies, that there are still schools of teaching that only emphasize melody. I’ve always thought if one can’t play Bach Figues, Chopin will never sound right.
