I love this! This is the interpretation I consistently choose as my role model as I learn to play this piece, because it is straight forward, crystal clear, sensitive in the right places and unadorned with extraneous, unneeded nuances. He lets the gorgeous piece speak for itself. And Oborin visually is not distracting by physical antics.
This has grown into my soul. I've recently heard about 100 other renditions of this piece, and they just feel painfully not like this one.. Thank you, Lev Oborin!
moonlight impossible to compare with october ... these are a different moods, different points of consciousness ... here no tragic but simply a deep thought, contemplation on rapid life time cycle and the inevitable doom ... we all as fallen october's leaves, inluding Beethoven
Лев Оборин... Боже, почему я не знал тебя раньше?... Эталон возможностей человеческого духа и сама гармония, как она есть. Маэстро, человек, пример для всех поколений.
É impressionante a delicadeza com que Lev Oborin toca essa música de Tchaikovisky. Aliás, toca não, interpreta, articula pianissimamente nota por nota, sem qualquer pressa, como o próprio outono que tem seu tempo de início e fim. Infelizmente, há uma certa tendência entre alguns pianistas, de tocarem conjuntos de peças para piano solo com total desrespeito aos compassos e ao que a música por si só implica, a exemplo das "Estações" de Tchaikovsky, das "Kindeszcenen" de Schumann, das "Canções sem Palavras" de Mendelssohn e outras mais. Quando ouvi Lev Oborin pela primeira vez tocando a Sonata a "Kreutzer" de Beethoven pude ter certeza de que estava ouvindo um grande pianista em toda a sua essência, até porque Beethoven nunca foi um compositor para qualquer músico, seja qual for o instrumento que se esteja tocando em qualquer da suas obras. Aí está Tchaikovsky, um compositor sublime! Lev Oborin, um pianista magnífico e a Canção do Outono, uma melodia única, transcendental.
Thank you for the reply...ya I've just recently finished memorizing this piece I will be playing it for a recital at my University. Still unsure of my true grade so I was curious. I had a bit of trouble in the articulation as well, but I believe I have captured the literature of the story. I'm excited to perform this piece. I have a slight tempo increase from this interpretation...but I find it more fitting the the other speeds.
@jvLin this song is meant to be played slow. do you hear his trills within the song, they are fast. and he sure is capable of playing at a faster speed. its just the song, which is slow.
erm...I'm doing it for AMUS if it helps? but it's quite simple to play...scorewise... just bloody hard to articulate and get all the expression right and so on
Why are you wasting time learning this? The state of the world says there will be total anarchy when the United States falls, and that will be soon. Why spend your time playing an instrument when you should be mastering a weapon!?
I changed my mind. There's no need for mastering weapons, muskets, armies. Music even though it's a dreadful thing, it still moves every heart and soul of human beings. When words fails, music speaks..
too slow. If he were younger, he'd play it a teeny bit faster. studies show that it takes the elderly much longer to count to 100 than children. something to do with time perception.. so if he were in his 30's, he would play it a little faster.. and it would be better.
Why do you think you have the right and skills to judge the interpretation of this great master? I never understand how dare people pronounce their worthless opinion with such certitude. This is not a question of opinion and taste.
@@bach5861 Your comment is just way too confident. Of course every person has the right to decide if he/she likes something or not, but when you write: too much rubato, that is not a personal preference but a judgement. And are you such an expert to have the right to tell us that this interpretation has too much rubato? Do you understand the difference between personal taste/opinion and judgement?
