That's not all. He doesn't have large hands and he's playing a piece that doesn't require large chords, jumps or stretches. So this piece is very comfortable for him and his hand size. That's why there no tension. Also this piece doesn't require force, it's delicate piece. For someone who has truly large hands also Liszt and Rachmaninov doesn't produce tensione, because everything fits to the large hand size and feel not large but natural
It;s been over 15 years since my older sister introduced the impromptus to me .. such incredible pieces especially brought out brilliantly Maestro Schiff.
I feel s though the music is channeled from a higher source. The depths of emotion in the third comes from a very still place if that makes ny sense - so beautiful!
Can any of the sound engineers explain why this record sounds so alive? Any special microphones? Yes, of course the pianist is great, but there are many modern or other recordings of masters on deutsch gramaphone that sound good, but without such vividness in tone.
Funny how it drives some people up the wall. I'm the opposite, with Gould especially. I know he drove the sound engineers round the bend but I don't like it when they've been too severe.
@@cliveparaschisPlease notice the time signature in this piece is double alla breve, that means we should count on 2 in a bar. Also the tempo is andante，a walking speed. Then you will realise Schiff had a right judge of tempo.😊
@@cliveparaschis Schiff mentioned in a Schubert masterclass that he had the opportunity to play on Schubert's piano. Piano in Schubert’s time are very different with today’s piano. If you play a piece too slow, the notes will die. It would be nonsense to play a Schubert piece extremely slowly even it is a slow piece/movement.
Mi fermo al n.2, diversi errori anche molto rilevanti, avrebbe dovuto registrarlo nuovamente, sbagli di note eseguite nell''ottava sbagliata. Mi dispiace, nonostante la fama dell'interprete, questa registrazione lascia il tempo che trova, professionalmente parlando...
