A great master class, no doubt, Ariel. Your interpretation is very good, your music sound great, but of course there is always a new way to see, to feel, to understand a composition, as the Maestro Thomas Adès showed with his explanation. Anyway, congratulations, Ariel, you are amazing.
Thomas Adès vraiment extraordinaire de talent, de poésie, de psychologie généreuse..... un Monsieur... et Ariel super aussi bien évidemment. Un moment de pur bonheur. Merci.
Thank you Ariel for sharing this very interesting, wonderful and great master class, I enjoyed to listen and learned about what Thomas Adès tells and explains about Ravel's La Valse. I now understand this piece much better than ever before. The way he explains is almost "dancing with your (musical) mind"!
The Strauss waltz mentioned at 49.35 is 'Tausend und eine Nacht', op. 364. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rKK-qnZ1HIA.html -The part he mentions specifically occurs around 4 mins and 7 mins in the linked video. Ades is not only a brilliant composer but an inspiring thinker and performer
Bravo Ariel! What a Masterclass!I think You got to the end really very good interpretation .Thomas Adés is one of my favortites Composer he is really cool.Great!
Wow je trouvais votre interprétation très bonne... mais l'œil du maître ne laisse rien au hasard !! Lol !!! :D Très intéressant. J'ai écouté une partie et finirai plus tard... Je ne suis pas très douée en anglais... ;) Bonne continuation de travail sur cette belle valse de Ravel. Amitié et merci du partage Ariel.
I think Thomas tries to explain to the student that it's not a real ('strict') waltz. It's Ravel's way of humor and at the end of the piece he kills the waltz anyway.
+Aidan6496 He absolutely is! He may have played years and years ago, but he had no idea what piece I was bringing to this lesson, having just stepped into the breach for someone who couldn't make it.
+Ariel Lanyi Jaw. On. Floor. I'd love to be conducted by him in my life too - I played his Asyla last year and he was in the audience - that was scary enough!
@@aviuscomposer2605 No, he grew up in Hampstead, an expensive part of north London. His mother is an art historian who had a successful academic career; his father is a poet and translator.
Отличная техника исполнения! жаль, что я первый, кто оставляет свои комментарии на русском. либо наши только шансон понимают на пяти аккордах, либо их вообще ничем не проймешь, даже такой игрой...
For everyone praising him for this performance sayin he has such amazing musicality, the ridiculous amount of rubato that he used shows quite the opposite. He had ok colors throughout and some decent phrasing, but the rubato was absolutely terrible it ruins the entire point of the piece. There is no consistent pulse when he plays this piece which is an essential for waltz or any dance. People with good musicianship don’t use excessive rubato, they use tone,color, phrasing, rythmic vitality, ect to really express the music. Not wasteful fluctuations of the tempo
Too many words..............the kids playing is flabby..........yes too much meaningless rubato that stops the piece from having having any excitement..........it needs pulse to be exciting - it's not exciting.........
Really? Well Ades is making a good living composing, conducting and playing - we have not heard any of your music Shootayib and with a daft name like that - it is unlikely we ever will!
John Holroyd the video quality? I know it could be better right? Amazing piece of music transcribed for piano though, so difficult to pull off well on the keyboard.
