Clara Haskil represents the heights of pianism of the early Twentieth Century. She and her countryman, Dinu Lipatti were the embodiment of a musical sensibility which has vanished from classical music. They were pure, almost otherworldly. They became the music when they played.
Yes, she is great - i always loved her.But now: listen to Claire Huangci!!! I can't beleive it, so natural, without any effort - i cannot describe it in english (am german)
@@sololipsist Thank you for the reference to Huangci. Her Scarlatti is indeed delightful. Haskil and Huangci can be compared on Kk 332. They are matched on tempo (about 3 minutes each) but differ in dynamics (Haskil's phrases are more varied) and touch (Huangci's staccato/legato contrasts are greater). Too bad the recording quality for Haskil is so poor. Huangci is here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b0soIkotkVE.html
a wonderful tribute to un sung musical heroes and heroines meaning Clara and Scrarlatti who composed these 550 works 300 years ago, yes 300 years ago and just now being recognized I had the opportunity to take classical guitar lessons in Asturias Spain at age 14 my instructor introduced me to Scarlatti and now at age 68 I still love his music over and over again always reinspires me now. Scarlatti had 7 children composer to the Portugese court. He would be impressed with musical legacy.
Maravillosa Clara Haskil, artista excepcional, pianista luminosa, amiga que fue sin duda de otro pianista excepcional, su compatriota Dinu Lipatti, muerto prematuramente.
J'ai assisté une fois à un récital de Clara Haskil à Paris. Je fus émerveillée par ce petit bout de femme recroquevillé qui jouait si merveilleusement. Gran merci pour ces enregistrements accompagnés de photos évocatrices. Osloden1 (Savoie)
Indeed exquisite but please also give a listen, if you've not done so already, to Antony di Bonaventura as well. Scarlatti's Sonatas are truly incredible.
@@zvezdinki7998 well, lets say you have music in your head or ears,silent still, then you sit down at a piano and you write it down in notes on a peace of paper, after many many years, the paper lying down in a drawyer is taken by someone who can read notes, has a piano and the skills to play it on the piano, moreover the pianist knows people who want to record it on an LP, after some time computers and the www is invented, implemented in every street with the creation of YT going along and at last, we, you and I, each of us seperately, are listening to the sounds written on a paper by a man who once had them silently in his head. And we share and enjoy the music 🌳.
heard her at a live concert in my provincial , dutch home town. I was 18 and these outings were romantic because all the town's pretty girls were in the audience , all done up....
♥️🙏🏻♥️ Klaus - lovely. Several months ago, I had deleted all that was on my channel and began to add to it afresh. It’s time to revisit the great Haskil again. 😊
I was sitting in the dining hall at Prades in 1953, at the age of 15, with Krachmalnick and Grumiaux, when a woman entered at the other end of the room. Krachmalnick said, That is Clara Haskil. Grumiaux said, So that is Clara Haskil.
I adore her artistry! And the same I might say for Dinu Lipatti....refined and elegant ....not forced...true musicianship in the best sense of that word!!! I only wish they lived now...They indeed "became the music" when they played.
Clara Haskil missed German fancies that occupied south of France in November ‘42 by one day because she left for Switzerland. Otherwise they would show her what they are capable.
Since I wrote my comment, around 3 years ago, I have placed Scarlatti K322 myself, a really charming sonata. I still think Clara plays is beautifully and within inspiration. It is at an ideal speed for me, not too fast and never sounding "technical".
The way youtube cuts up these ezquisite gems of artwork - to insert comercials INSIDE the pieces!!! It's beyond barabarism! It's pure evil. IT HAS TO STOP!!
I went ahead and sprang for RU-vid Red. Maybe I caved in to the Corporate Goliath, but now gems like this aren’t desecrated by ads and I can download beautiful recordings I don’t have the time, money, or equipment to get hold of.
Los publicistas ¿tienen una vaga idea de lo que produce el corte abrupto de música sublime interpretada por los mayores instrumentistas para dar paso al pobre intento de vender café, colchones o vacaciones?.Es una estrategia casi salvaje que debe producir en otros, como en mí, justo el efecto contrario. Son los productos que jamás compraría.
In the baroque period people composed a melody without even specify the instrument, could be a flute a violin etc. Music was important and not filology, as it should be.
