Unforgettable interpretation! The playing of Clara is wonderful, an intense flow of pure beauty; Smirnova's playing is assuring, deep, the calm perfection.... And the mutual understanding of Clara and Smirnova is quite something. A legendary performance and a must listening
This is one of the most emotional pieces I've heard so far. The ending just got me sobbing :'| . And Clara's interpretation is just FLAWLESS and so EXPRESSIVE ..like she really understands the music and wants people that hears her to understand the music as much as she did through her playing. Such an amazing and beautiful soul. I don't think I'll see life the same way as it is if I haven't heard of this , and I'm very thankful for being able to discover this piece with Clara playing it :3
개인적으로 이 곡을 처음 듣는데 하나의 인상주의 수채화 그림을 본 느낌이에요 클래식도 자극적인 곡들이 있는데 이 곡은 굉장히 담백하고 서정적이군요 잘한다고 지나치게 화려한 연주를 뽐내는 비르투오소들이 많은데.. 주미강님는 한결같이 정갈하고도 깊은 연주를 하셔서 너무 좋아요 ❤︎
Clara est un poème... Ses notes sortant de son violon sont des mots qui s'animent et s'envolent tels des papillons d'argent. Accompagnée magnifiquement au piano, Clara s'épanouit et vous brise l'âme d'une réelle beauté.. Bouleversant et.. magique... 🎶💕
By the way, Chausson was inspired by Ivan Turgenev's Song of Triumphant Love as he composed this beautiful piece. Turgenev and Polina Viardo were frequent guests of Chausson's musical salon.
I really love this version, so magic! But if you can find the record with the version for violin piano and string Quartet (Hyperion Records) i'ts really worthwhile and very beautiful!
So much passion and emotion! Klara is best in terms of emotional expressiveness. And yet, in my opinion, the ideal performance of this piece was delivered by Olivier Charlier. Klara's pianissimo is marvelous, but she does not accelerate the tempo in the climax as it should be accelerated and does not play real fortissimo. All in all, she plays too slow as she probably feels this piece, but I'd say this is still a girlish rendition. Listen to Olivier Charlier - he shows a true man's power, speed and might where it must be shown, that is in the climax, but in the meantime he plays it very delicately and sensitively, where the pain and suffering are to be expressed. And yes, he plays this piece notably faster - 13:40 pure time versus almost 15:00 in Klara's case.
I try to always be open to other people’s perspectives, but aside from your sexist comments (which are completely untrue generalisations) I also just think your observation is wrong - Clara plays the climax of the piece with a HUGE sound (she also changed the bowing to allow for more volume at a slower speed). Also, there is no tempo change in the score at the climax points of the piece, and most performers (including Clara) respect this. The piece is also dedicated to Ysaÿe (who premiered it), and he - despite writing very difficult pieces - was adamant that expression and emotion is far more important than flashy virtuosic fireworks.
@@viktorseifert9494 As a French musician, Charlier definitely knows better, just listen to his interpretation of this piece inspired by The Song of Triumphant Love by famous Russian novelist Ivan Turgenev who was a close friend of both Chausson and Debussy.
This comment is disgusting. "Girlish", "Man's power". There are plenty of recordings of this piece and this is a very good one.Probably Charlier's version is good too. Also, there are not tempo accelerations written in the score.
@@_mariaalejandrajimenez A very good and sensual performance indeed by Clara. That's how she feels it. I did not know how to put it best, that's why I used those "sexist" terms. My 17-year-old daughter is a very good violinist, but she sometimes lacks this powerful sound attack and I tell her: do not play like an emaciated girl, give me more sound, give me more vibes, blow my mind. It's when she was playing the same piece and when she heeded my advice and also the advice of Gesa Hossa Legotzky, she won the Grand Prix of the first ever international music competition in the Arctic (the city of Salekhard) called Yamal Symphony.
@@viktorseifert9494 Contrasting tempo and nuances - this is what I expect from any violinist. The more contrasts, the better. Maybe, this is my bias, but I have the right to my own opinion. I am desperate for RUBATO
