Bertrand Chamayou plays Franck, Debussy and Saint-Saëns

[@onesimo4206]

I think Chamayou is one of the Greatest Artists in our generation!

[@witsukyai1685]

I love his appropriate use of the pedal and solid posture uncommon to pianists of this generation. Of course, the music and the program as a whole was very well done. ❤

[@villaporfin17]

Qué gran pianista!!! La verdad es que no lo conocía. Gracias a quien lo hace posible!!!

[@joanna8749]

Que d'emotions réunies en un seul récital en particulier Franck et Saint-Saens, c'est trop beau

[@stephanecivel4712]

Je ne peux m'empêcher d'être ému comme un gosse quand j'entends ce Franck par B Chamayou, que ce soit en concert ou sur CD...

[@YoutubeAuteurs]

Eh, magnifique découverte ! Merci.

[@frankz4900]

What a great pianist

[@cecile-petit]

Il gère vraiment, c'est impressionnant

[@Rufusdos]

Thank you for posting! That got me serenely through an hour of otherwise dull desk-based work!

[@nandoflorestan]

Ouch! You are using this music wrong! It is usually prescribed for sublime transcendence. For a mild headache you can use something else...

[@treesny]

Thank you for posting this recital. Bertrand Chamayou has given us superb CDs of music by Liszt, Schubert, Ravel, Franck and Mendelssohn, as well as a recent one of Debussy chamber music. Let's hope that there's some solo Debussy piano music in his future plans. And I wouldn't mind one of Saint-Saëns's music as well! :)

[@steveegallo3384]

You forgot about Chopin, Skryabin, Rakhmaninov.....

[@djmotise]

The Saint Saëns just came out! I ordered it.

[@treesny]

@@djmotise A wonderful (and prize-winning!) CD... :-)

[@tanquereychris8388]

magnifique florilege de musique francaise!!!!

[@isoldehohne6893]

Großartig, es geht unter die Haut! Dank an Igor levit der auf Bertrand Chamayou aufmerksam gemacht hat.

[@privateperson8289]

Best part is how he wipes his hands across the keyboard, then across his nose in a single movement without missing a beat. Bravo! 47:03

[@andrewbraid1815]

Glad you liked that extra touch, extra flair. Fortunately, there was plenty else to like about this downright stunning and flawless recital.

It's at 47:17

[@andrescasas2359]

IMPACTANTE.!!!!!!!!

[@JA-zs7fw]

this is great!

[@91483]

Incroyable!

[@PamelaKS]

Incredible - love all of it - Franck is amazing - why haven't I ever heard of him before?

[@opustravels3659]

Pretty much how I felt when I heard this the first time too :-)

[@onesimo4206]

I also fell in love with Chamayou's Frank...!!

[@helenlundeberg]

Listen to his Ravel ! Sublime

[@andrescasas2359]

Pelase Bertrand, come soon to Buenos Aires. Theater Colon will be your home. Well come!

[@hutiray]

Thank you, genial!

[@jiyeonoh9555]

I love it!

[@shakeleft1387]

What a great piece of art to listen to. As someone with basically no knowledge of classical music I wonder about the comments here comparing great musicians. Isn't it just about enjoying these great sounds rather than having some kind of competition?

[@opustravels3659]

Yes, I completely agree with you. I guess it's just human to try to compare whatever we can however little sense it makes.

[@francoisrodewald9868]

It can be very interesting to compare these artists, a comparison doesn‘t need to elevate one above the other.

[@villaporfin17]

@@francoisrodewald9868 Desde luego comparto contigo lo mismo. Cada artista es único, el resto depende del espectador

[@organman52]

To say this is the finest piano playing of all time would be an understatement. WONDERFUL.

[@Patafisique]

He's great, but you are being ridiculous.

[@stephenmessick6619]

Looking and sounding more like Van Cliburn everyday!! Anyone know the second encore?

[@djmotise]

Stephen Messick VC?

[@opustravels3659]

VC, how so?

[@stephenmessick6619]

Yes I think he does, especially when Cliburn was about the same age.

[@djmotise]

Stephen Messick the hair height is about the only resemblance I see here.

[@opustravels3659]

I agree with you on this one, Darren

[@stephenmessick6619]

Was Saint-Saens a great pianist? This was a fabulous program full of exquisite pieces, by the way.

[@opustravels3659]

He was one of the very best actually!

[@francispott8386]

Not only that, but this type of playing (Chamayou, here) is absolutely in the style and tradition of Saint-Saens and a 'French School'.

[@albertomartin4812]

Look for a video named "Saint-Saëns plays Valse Mignonne". You'll be amazed.

[@patricelanauze8301]

Le Chamayou , c' est une marque de saucisson ou de fromage de chèvre ? Villefranche de Rouergue , mon amour !!

[@stephenmessick6619]

Which came first for Franck, this little suite or his dreamy Symphony?

[@djmotise]

The Prelude, Choral and Fugue was composed just 4 years before the Symphony. 1884 and 1888.

[@ciararespect4296]

13:22 he got slightly stuck on the horrible hand cross over point. I hate that part

[@organman52]

The magnificent musician-pianist makes the likes of Horowitz and Gould look like amateurs.

[@PamelaKS]

I wouldn't go that far, wouldn't compare him to pianists of earlier times. However, what about Daniil Trifonov, and others?

[@PbustamanteA]

I wouldn't compare Gould with anyone

[@subplantant]

PAAAAhahahahahaaaaaa

[@ciararespect4296]

Marc Andre Hamelin trumps everyone ​@@PamelaKS

[@RaineriHakkarainen]

Trifonov is over-rated trash! Marc Andre Hamelin is a Cyborg Human machine with colorless cold piano sound! Dimitri Bashkirov her teacher Anastasia Virsaladze teach saying to Bashkirov the most important lesson is the love of beautiful colorful piano sound! This was already in 1930s! Really Shocking! All the beautiful colorful piano sound players are gone dead like Wilhelm Kempff Emil Gilels Radu Lupu Artur Rubinstein Vladimir Ashkenazy Grigory Sokolov!
