Nelson Freire plays Barcarolle (Barcarola) opus 60 - Frederic Chopin Local: Festival de Inverno de Campos do Jordão - 2009 Transmissão: Programa "Clássicos" da TV Cultura
Sonoridade perfeita. Uma aula de como usar o pedal. Notas claras e perfeitas. Peso de mão de admirar. Este pianista é um dos melhores do mundo. Sensibilidade, alma de artista. Brasileiro que nos orgulha.
George Leal Jamil, Nelson Freire and Martha Argerich (Argentinian/ Brazilian) and many other pianists, too many to mention, are all my Gods and I worship them. I missed his recital at the Wigmore Hall in the last three years or was that Louis Lortie? I love all of them; they bring such wonderous joy and emotion. Long, long may they live!
A morte de Nelson Freire foi uma perda lamentável. Além de excelente pianista, uma personalidade tranquila introspectiva e sempre modesto, apesar da sua reconhecida grandiosidade. Meus sentimentos ao viúvo, Sr. Miguel Rosário e toda a sua família.
Merci Nelson, vous nous manquez tant ! Cette barcarole de l'opus 60 vous l'interpretez avec votre immense technique , votre talent et votre intelligence musicale mais surtout avec votre coeur ! C'est pour cela qu'on vous regrette tant ... Bravo maestro !
Nelson Freire e sem dúvida um dos maiores intérpretes de Chopin; tive o privilégio de conviver alguns anos com ele, desde criança manisfestou se, como talento musical. Acompanhei mtos concertos dele, e é uma satisfação poder conta lo entre os nossos maiores artistas.
Quel esprit philophique regne dans cette interpretation de Nelson Freire. One of the best, i ever heard !! Un grand merci a -Rodrigo Rodrigues- pour cet enregistrement captivant !!! Mes felicitations ! Bernhard Hedenus
Bravo, Nelson! Que artista e ser humano maravilhoso que vc é! Sua Barcarolle remete a nossa querida Guiomar Novaes, que deixou uma belíssima gravação desta peça!
This might be my all time favorite Chopin composition (I know, can anyone really HAVE too many favorites???). I have listened to this composition by a dozen different artists hundreds of times. I REALLY REALLY love this version!!
James Nitzberg, I think the whole world of music lovers will allow you to have as many favourites as you wish. I have many favourite composers and many favourite pianists and other instrumentalists. Compositions of all composers are so vast and diverse in so many ways, it's enough to satisfy the catholic tastes of all music lovers/ listeners. The two words many and favourite contradict each other and is called an oxymoron. You go ahead and have as many favourites as you want. I have no objections.
I like Freire's playing this piece. It seems more melancholy than sleepy and with a nice triumphal ending. Many other versions play this piece like a lullaby. This one seems awake and in the end, joyous.
Também sou amante de Chopim. Confesso que não havia ouvido essa linda composição. De qualquer maneira, acho que dificilmente alguém a interpretou com Nelson! De arrepiar desde do início. Meu Deus!
Beautiful piano sound, and commanding technique, but I prefer a more spacious, leisurely, meditative interpretation with greater dynamic gradation and variety of touch clearly defining the various sections. This seems just a wee bit hurried to me, and though he never loses control, it doesn't sound as though he is particularly fond of this piece. It's borderline perfunctory in fact, but you'd have to know the piece extremely well to be aware of that. He misses the dreamy, ruminative quality and the devastating heartbreak at the climax captured so exquisitely by both Horowitz and Pletnev, but no others I've ever heard. .
Dear F4sT, I agree with Jim Riley. There is no mistake on the double-third trill. I listened to it four times, I would have picked up the wrong note the first time, four times was superfluous. I didn't mean to sound arrogant there. I have picked up a wrong note from very renowned professional pianists (and instrumentalists in orchestras) in their recording that went to press, be it cassette tape, LP, CD or other media. Even current, prolific, amateur pianist made mistakes recording Bach's set of 6 preludes and Bach's set of 12 preludes (just to mention a few). I admire this pianist. I would only prove what an ASS I am to mention it. He himself curled up at the keyboard as soon as he played the mistake, on a separate occasion. But I am willing to counter someone if they are wrong. I am sorry F4sT, sadly, you are mistaken. Perry
Erik Vertriest !!!!!!!!! its impossibile to answer to you.........Freire is one of the best pianists over the world.......why don´'t you play like him...speak is esasy to play is not easy....caiu.
