I would have smothered him with great delight....coughing on Schumann's Kinderszenen sentence ought to be "Death by firing squad (while listening to Brahmes top volume...)"
eert tree I highly prefer the Columbia 1962 recording. In this period Horowitz played better than any time before or after. It is one of my favorite recordings together with Arrau.
@@ulfwernernielsen6708 except he didn't really achieve the same spiritual depth that he did during his later years. this particular vienna recital was otherwordly
ameblo.jp/galwayera/entry-12218181511.html#cbox I believe that Horowitz was one of the greatest pianists in 20 century as same as Glenn Gould. Especially, I'd like to declare that his "Scenes from childhood" and "Kreisleriana" are extraordinarily marvelous. When I hear first tune "Of foreign lands and peoples", my heartbeat becomes faster for joy.
I have been searching for 'Traumerei' for more than three hours now, then someone coughed @ 6:59. WTH !? I have to give you a thumb down. Sorry... sigh*
Michael Chavez It's really annoying and frustrating when you're listening to beautiful music, trying to ruminate and soak in the harmonious melody when suddenly, ngek!, someone cough or farts, and it kills the mood. Sheesh. LOL!
I will never ever so much as look at any live recording of a classical virtuoso piece. Try it, and you'll see - well, hear - exactly what I mean. Dreadful. Terrible.
So leicht dahinfließend, so viel Struktur. Als ob die Musik direkt vom Himmel käme. Vollkommen.... Nur die Applauskaskade hätte man rausschneiden müssen. Brutal.
Posésie et Délicatesse , si intense une perle parmis toutes les interprétations de ces Jeux d'enfants ; en ces temps il faut vers le beau et le sincère ......
the best version of Schumann Kinderszenen ever ! FÜrchtenmachen is the best movement, I've been looking for it for almost ten years...didn't know the title until a music teacher listened to the recording and said right away "Well, that's Schumann" like it was something obvious
Hello Box it's all right. Yes, some people are just plain self-satisfied, pleased with what they know. For me it is the very definition of stupidity, to see only what you do know and not what you don't. The truth is I felt so embarrassed when he said so, as if I was supposed to have knew this, as if it was a great gap in my culture...
The version that I grew up with that melts me almost to tears is Daniel Barenboim, Berlin Philharmonic, directed by von Karajan. I know there are a million versions of different pieces and every version speaks to us for very personal reasons. For me that is my favorite because it is what I grew up with and I have great memories attached.
oceanspitfirefly what do you mean with Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and Karajan? This is a work for solo piano. I understand your love for Barenboim. I still remember when his recording of the Kinderszenen came out in late seventies. About this time I heard him play it in Essen together with Fantasy and Carneval .
