This is absolutely superb!

Wonderful music, performance, instrument...in no particular order. Delightful incongruity to play it off a tablet! Thank you so much!

Simply wonderful

Die Einspielung begeistert in doppelter Weise: a) zunächst und vornehmlich ist da die Freude über R. Pechefskys unaufgeregte, nicht hastende, die Musik atmen lassende Spielweise, aber auch b) das stark gefühlte Privileg, hier auf YT Musikstücke "einfach so" hören/erleben zu dürfen, ganz ohne Eintrittskarte und Warteschlange. Vielen Dank für das Bekanntmachen mit diesen Werken, liebe Rebecca! - This recording inspires in two ways: a) first and foremost there is the joy of R. Pechefsky's calm, unhurried playing style, which allows the music to breathe, but also b) the strongly felt privilege of hearing/discovering here on KZbin “just like that”, without an admission ticket or queue. Many thanks for introducing us to these works, dear Rebecca!

Das Etikett "Zu Unrecht vergessen" paßt ja oft nicht wirklich, HIER aber durchaus: feinsinnig vorgetragen, vielen Dank fürs Teilen mit uns, liebe Rebecca! - The label "Unjustly forgotten" often doesn't really fit, but HERE it certainly does: delicately presented, thank you for sharing it with us, dear Rebecca!

Oh my god, oh my god! It's super....

Ich freue mich immer, wenn dieser - meiner Meinung nach - stark unterschätzte Komponist aus dem Halbdunkel geholt wird, zumal dann, wenn es so subtil erfolgt wie hier: gefühlt in exakt dem richtigen Tempo, atmend, den musikalischen Linien nachspürend, dabei, gerade zu Beginn, wünschenswert kraftvoll. DANKE fürs Teilen dieses kleinen musikalischen Juwels. - I'm always happy when this - in my opinion - greatly underestimated composer is brought out of the semi-darkness, especially when it's done as subtly as it is here: it feels like it's at exactly the right tempo, breathing, equally calmy & carefully following the musical lines, just doing it desirably powerful, especially in the beginning. THANK YOU for sharing this little musical gem.

Excellent, and so interesting.

If CPE had invented jazz...

Thank you both!!!

I'm French and I have the pleasure of regularly paying my respects to Oscar Wilde at Père Lachaise cemetery.

What a beautiful reading of Bach's immortal Gloria. Wonderfully sung and played. Sensible tempo too. .

Beautiful, and beautiful ornaments.

Bravissimo!

What an excellent documentary. Surprising considering the other content on this channel - perhaps you found your metier. Although I feel it took a lot of effort, if you can keep it up maybe Bram stoker next. You've got my subscription anyway 👌

How wonderfully entertaining and educational. Wilde in New York is wildly fascinating. Top hats off to the creator and producer, Erik Ryding. The excellent narration, accompanying imagery, and period music create a rich tapestry of Wilde's social and cultural milieu. I wish the History Channel aired this sort of thing, but then again we are lucky to have it right here on KZbin.

instrument sounds amazingly lively. Francois Couperin achieved true greatness in this set.

amazing! fits the instrument really well

Bravo Erik!

Superb.

Life IS unfair 😅

perfect tempo, allows the repeated notes to have meaning.

Napoleon Sarony reminds me of Czar Alexander II of Russia.. His missing hooknose otherwise reminds me of the missing hooknose of Marat Gabidullin.

Very much enjoyed this beautifully done history. Oscar was SO talented. His life was wasted my small thinking. His incredible depth, stops you to listen. Reading his works is time consuming because, I keep stopping to reread the profound prose.

I know Wilde visited Colorado where he was a huge success. So he has to have visited America twice.

I really enjoyed this ❤thank you

Edison was a great leader of brilliant men of science, perhaps exclaiming the quote about The Atlantic was his way of getting something out of meeting the poet. He was always consolidating.

Beautiful. I would love to see a bit more fluency and lightness in energy and voice flow next time. Otherwise, it's amazing.

Heavens! A McDonald's next to the studio.

No captions, not even auto generated? 😢 Still a good video but it would be better with the option for captions/subtitles.

I think Oscar was a nice looking man. I'm so sorry he was sent to jail. That was unfair

OFF THE CHAIN!!!!°!!! THANKS 200MILL UPLOADER.

Wonderful music and musicians!

Very good

fantastic!

Forty five delicious minutes later I have come to the end (for the first time) of this splendid, entertaining, informative and frankly lovely work. Thank you Quill and it was nice to get a quick glimpse (Hitchcock would do it) of Erik. Beautiful and I enjoyed John Cooper's tour. Wonderful!

I don't know if this really happened, but Wilde's time in New York may have inspired this joke: The playwright's admirers had heard he loved anemone flowers. So they ordered dozens of them to welcome him among them. However, there was a mix up at the florist's and instead they were sent a couple of dozen very handsome potted ferns. Naturally they were very upset, but Oscar Wilde had the wit and grace to assuage their emotions. He is reported to have said, "Gentlemen, ladies, with fronds like these - who needs anemones?"

This is Brilliant. Thank you

What a fine and extended overview of Wilde. Who needs Ellman (sic?). We have music and so many great photos and maps and descriptions. Lily Langtry, Edit Wharton, etc. Thank you Quill and all the friends who made this. I still have 45 delicious minutes to go.

Wilde was known for his wit and satire, but if you read his letters from Reading Gael he could also be very serious and deep.

What a strange thought, to live up to the china set you just bought. I wonder in what regards that was intended. Were they going to work on having better etiquette at the table, or were they going to serve more elaborate meals? Maybe they were going to attempt be less clumsy because they accidently break a lot of plates, or perhaps when they argue they start smashing and throwing things in anger. Since we own this now, we should behave this way...wow, what a philosophy. Could you imagine applying that to everything?

What is the piano music played at the "outro"?

Fascinating on so many levels. Although a life-long New Yorkers and fan of Oscar Wolfe, I learned so muich about the formative time that Wilde spent in New York City in the 1880s. A must-watch for fans of Wilde and those interested in the social and cultural history of New York in the early years of the Gilded Age. The final portion of the film shows the many sites where you can still walk in Wilde's steps.

Bravo Quill!! What a great pleasure to have this presented to me this evening. As a former denizen of 33 and later 1 Union Square it hit home. Thank you friends.

the instrument sounds fantastic and it’s great to hear music from this underrated composer

Thank you so much for introducing me to some really great works!

I like very much The Great JOHN SINGER SARGENT and Music ( revised ) !!!

What a pleasure to hear Sumner in his natural tessitura as a ‘baryton martin’ rather than a quasi-bass as in so many of his Bach and Handel clips.

Beautiful.
