David Fray - Schubert: Moments Musicaux, Impromptus

David Fray - Schubert: Moments Musicaux, Impromptus

David Fray has declared his particular affinity with Austro-German music, and after two CDs featuring Bach (and a DVD featuring him in Bach concertos) he now turns to the early Romantic era and Schubert, with a programme of the six Moments musicaux D780, the four Impromptus D899 and the Allegretto in C minor D915, recorded in Berlin.
His approach to the music is typically questioning and illuminating. At the piano, he told the French magazine Pianiste, I try to make music like a conductor, not just as a pianist. I approach the score as if it is a reduction of a symphonic work. The piano constitutes a way of getting nearer the heart of the music. How do you balance the voices? How do you find a progression in a movement? How do you put the polyphony in place? Its much more interesting to study Bachs approach to the orchestra in the Magnificat or the Christmas Oratorio than to read books on how to play Bach on the piano. Each time I approach a new score, I ask myself how the composer would have written it if he hadnt decided on the piano. Take Schuberts first impromptu, for instance: it starts like a reduction of an orchestral score: a tutti chord and then the melody is presented on its own, as if on a flute. Then the winds take up the theme before the strings make their entry. Most of the work comprises three or four independent lines which sing together a cello ostinato, counterpoint harmony in the violas, say, and the winds above it.

Je le découvre sur KZbin...il est extraordinaire merveilleux....vivre sa musique comme il le fait comme il nous la décompose est rare et si bien partagé...quel virtuose !!🤗🤗🙏

[@jyseoh]

His language is that of a philosopher. The one and only philosophical pianist in the world.

[@geoycs]

Why do you say, “the one, the only philosophical pianist in the world?” He’s not the only one. There are many.

[@mariedagoult1]

I love when this guy plays Schubert and Bach!!!!

[@gurlgenius11]

Sublime, Monsieur. Je t'adore votre philosophie musical et votre travail.

[@ganjamozart1435]

His subtle shadings are sublime.

[@evelynenerveat2077]

Ho ce moment musical semble tomber du ciel comme une bruine rafraîchissante. Quelle merveilleusement sensible interprétation par cet incroyable artiste que j adore. Merci Monsieur. Et vous restez si humble.

[@HG23456]

[@mariedagoult1]

Yeeeeeeeeees

[@user-ix3ij1kk7e]

Listen to Horowitz, too!

[@Enad700]

M. Fray, vous m'étonnez chaque fois. Chaque fois c'est une révélation ; c'est un bonheur de vous écouter quel que soit le compositeur.

[@paulprocopolis]

He has great sensitivity and a wonderful command of tone colour - perfect for Schubert.

[@elletuppen4844]

Such beauty can only come from exceptional talent and a touch of the angelic. Breathtaking.

[@wagnerpolveiro7176]

David, tu n'est pas seulement parfait quand tu joues le piano mais aussi comme personne. Tu a sans doute une âme parfaite. J'ai beaucoup aimé ce que tu a dit concernant la différence d'esprit, de sentiment de Schubert et Bach. Tu a démontré une connaissence profonde des sentiments des personnes. J'aime bien ta musique, David, et je t'aime aussi.

Pianiste extraordinaire, très sublime, merci

A marvelous pianist, and profoundly musical.

[@loveispatient0808]

Very sensitive playing, I like it very much! Merci! I just discovered David Fray yesterday now I am a fan!

[@saleteboni4691]

The most handsome and talented pianist in the world. LOVE HIM!

[@jegsynes]

Through his interpretation of the music he is playing, and by listening I get quite "another listening ear". Although I was given Bach and other composers with a (musical) spoon from I was a baby, I now (60) have another opinion about Bach, Chopin and Schubert because of him.

[@renaud-julesdeschenes9903]

Rivière-aux-rats 23 janvier 2016 Impressionné par ce jeune David Fray Merci ! pour cette mise en ligne... Renaud

2:25 is a real magical moment musical

[@GeorgeTengTV]

Genius

[@spartan488]

Лучший!!!

[@labemolmineur]

I love how he describes "coincidence" in Schubert's music as opposed to the inevitability of every note in Beethoven's, and those feelings of doubt and aloneness that come with the absence of God, God as Bach knew him.

[@gideonros2705]

Doubt and loneliness are a way to a deeper sense of God.... a God striped of falsehoods and ego.

[@EmanuelLopez]

master of the masters!

[@Picallo1cat]

Love this ")

[@litoboy5]

great

[@65attila]

"WOW that gorgeous velvet tone and O so smooth legato."

[@tsaihengmao7197]

Bach & Schubert same God's chosen composer ; Schubert's Loneliness of Love that comes from the Comforter.

[@mariacasemyr]

The last piece is my favourite. What’s the name of it?

[@Jaya1515]

From moments musicaux d780 no 3 f minor

[@polskapianist]

i desagree that there is an absence of God and the contrary there is a Great prsence of God,and in this video he is walking in this beautiful foresst that to me cries I AmGod

[@ShawnJonesHellion]

gah. what i may have been if i wasn't a raging inferno of plasma. 🙏

[@mcrettable]

he's slowly realizing he likes schubert more than bach xD

[@marcussfebruary9104]

😂😴😂

[@jeffreyadams648]

Never.

[@pianoman1857]

Jeffrey Adams i think people absolutly in love with Bach do like Schubert too, maybe Schiff for example

[@polskapianist]

the whole creation cry out and reflects that there is a God a Creator.The greatest Creator

[@quinto34]

Too vague for me, I rather give humanity some credit..

[@yvesmaniette427]

pourquoi parler en anglais, on se demande!

[@mackiceicukice]

Yves Maniette Because Warner Classics is recording it , and because he speaks pretty decent English!

[@thomasjefferson6]

When Europeans stopped believing in God, they stopped producing great art. All of the greatest European composers, Vivaldi, Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Schubert, Handel, Haydn, Verdi, etc., believed in God; not one of them was an atheist. Now that Europeans have, thanks to Charles Darwin and his followers, adopted atheism, they have lost their reason to live for the future, to hope for the future, to reproduce for the future. Atheism is a doctrine (it is too shallow to be a substitute religion) of meaninglessness, hopelessness, and, ultimately, of despair. No wonder Europeans seem to have given up on themselves, and seem willing to surrender their great civilization to the forces of Islam, which evil as it is, still believes in something rather than in nothing. For, in the final analysis, nothing is, ultimately, all that atheism has to offer, a spiritual nothingness whose finality is death.

[@JB-gn7nf]

Thomas Jefferson was an atheist. Check out his private letters to his nephew. Thanks for the chuckle this post afforded.

[@andrewjdaniels7087]

I was going to reply to all the points raised, then I realised they are so ridiculous I would be wasting my energy. As an atheist my life is absolutely full of meaning and hope, and the only despair I have is for those who hand over their thinking capacity to organised religion and who become slaves to others' doctrines. Europe is a creative hotbed that buzzes with innovation, and I am hugely proud to be a European and an atheist.

[@helenlin7839]

Berlioz is atheist, so as the many other composer

[@dorismolony1144]

Beautiful playing. I also like Alfred Brendel.
