Recorded live on January 15 2018 at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. Netherlands Chamber Orchestra Gordan Nikolić, concert master Lucas Jussen, piano Sietse-Jan Weijenberg, cello
When the hearts and minds of three outstanding musicians connect as they did here, the result is indescribable ecstasy. The world is fortunate that artists of this stature contribute as generously as they do to enrich our lives. Many thanks.
well, absolutly well well well, with 4 minutes more then any other trio as slow as Schubert wrote it! not 8:36 Minutes, not 10 minutes, 13:34 minutes, thats it AND: emotion, feeling, musicality, i have never heard it better then by this trio my deepest compliments love that, love that, love that,
Franz Schubert und diese getragene Version seines goldenen Notturno scheinen aus der fernen Zeit wieder auferstanden zu sein und in jeder Zelle aller Musiker, jeder belebten Saite strahlend zu einem ewigen, grenzenlosen Ganzen zu verschmelzen.
Their restrained performance and slightly slower tempo bright up the subtle dynamics of this piece. It is so balanced that every voice is heard clearly. The Notturno has long been one of my favorites and this makes it almost seem that I have not heard it before. It is a revelation. Thank you.
Stunning! Wonderful to find this performance on here and equally to see Gordan Nikolić playing. A lot of memories from London having watched so many performances of the London Symphony Orchestra with Gordan as leader. Great times!
I think the guy who voiced "Wow" sums it all up. What else can one say. One person says "Moving: and another, "Obsessed" Kucas is incredibly sensitive, timing is perfect, and the two strings do an amazing job. Well done and thanks to all.
best version i have heard so far. i really like this slow and smooth interpretation. the 3 gentlemen are to the point. recording and acoustics are great! 11:11 love this end section
So am I, Naomi. Which is quite remarkable considering I don't like classical music in general. The performance by these musicians is probably the best I've ever heard. People who are not moved by this are destined to be psychopaths.
My first classical experience...I honestly don't know what's coming over me, but I've repeatedly listened for 3 months it's soooo relaxing/therapeutic. WAGING WAR AGAINST post MENOPAUSE ANXIETY THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME!!!❤❤❤❤❤
Revising my first comment below, Lucas was not an accompanist, he was an equal member of the trio, and this time I found the tempo just lovely for this "night" piece. So effective was the playing that the audience did not want to break the silence with applause. A sure sign of casting a spell.... Bravo.
What a lovely interpretation of this beautiful work. All performed very well. i'd really like to hear Lucas venture into more chamber works like this with these two wonderful string players.- for example the two Mendelssohn trios.
After Menahem Pressler, there's Lucas Jussen. No one is playing this piece of Schubert in such profound and deeply connected to our souls. Rest assured, Lucas Jussen will be known as one of the best pianist of the millennium.
Thank you Sietse-Jan for your inspiring interpretation of one of the most exquisite concertos. You and Lucas are meant to complete each one's great talent. Too bad it lasts only 14:50. Take good care and keep honouring the classics, since music, your music, is the greatest of contributions to peace and beauty on earth.
I listened to several recordings to find this; they observe the slight pause in the dotted figure, bravo. The story I heard was that Brahms owned a manuscript copy which he would bring out on special occasions
At first, I found the tempo really too slow and with a lack of rythme but finally, their approach is original and makes us discover an other aspect of this music.
