Evgeny Kissin: Schumann - Sonata No 1 in F# minor, Op. 11

[@falschspielerfalschspieler3167]

Wunderschön und so direkt, bis jetzt eines meiner liebsten Stücke von Robert Schumann

[@su-chenbeckett7758]

So in love with this Sonata, especially when listening to Kissin's performance ! Cannot stop playing this video repeatedly. Su, Scotland, 2021-07-10-Saturday 01:50 AM

[@ruan7cherem]

Its so beautiful... it has melancholy, joy, sadness... It's so sublimity... a lot of feelings in the same piece. And omg, this performance of Kissin is the best interpretation of this piece for me

[@BarbaraSCohen]

A stunningly beautiful performance of this neglected piece.

[@mohamedakamaleldine]

i just want to thank you for all your great videos, from Du Pre to Perlman,Ashkenezy and Kissin i love them all.

[@allegrofilms]

We thank you, it is a pleasure to know that you like our films! Do you already know our playlist about Evgeny Kissin? goo.gl/4SqMEE

[@quaver1239]

Very deep into the keys, a great Russian style of playing, and I loved it. Kissin amazes me because he is always simply himself, deep into the music without showmanship.

[@pierrehenripontac8493]

I prefer Maurizio Pollini but a great moment...and it is my best sonata

[@rutchs7734]

totally agreed...and not a harsh, percussive note came out of his performance

One of the most underrated sonatas from the romantic period!!

[@garfreed]

It's a magnificent piece. All three Schumann piano sonatas are terrific !! Should have written more piano sonatas !!

[@reginapaulinapereiradefari5608]

Também acho! Uma das sonatas mais maravilhosas q conheço!😊

[@hopeemch8511]

Could that be because it is so difficult?

[@jackcurley1591]

@@hopeemch8511 ehh not really, it’s in the same tier of difficulty as Chopin’s 2nd and 3rd, the Liszt sonata, Brahms, etc. It’s just much rarer to see programmed than those (and less played than Schumann’s 2nd and 3rd sonatas, even though I think this one is Schumann’s best!)

[@hopeemch8511]

@@jackcurley1591 Do you weigh in on RAC 3 being the most difficult?

Clara Schumann played her husband's greatest works at private gatherings but not in concerts as she thought the public could not understand them. She added this Sonata to her concert repertoire when she was 60.

[@MLCflash]

That’s not true at. For example she was always playing his piano concerto in a lot of places in Europe! But also other works of him and a true fighter for good publications of his works (Brahms helped her with that).

[@felixdevilliers1]

@@MLCflash - How dare you tell me I am lying when I'm telling the truth- I have spent a life time studying the Schumanns. It was Brahms who fought to publish unpublished works and this led to ruptures with Clara. She played the Piano Concerto in public because she thought it was easier to follow than some of his great piano works which she refused to play except to connoisseurs. Once in Vienna her friends begged he to play Kreisleriana, she refused flatly but after a lot m,ore begging she agreed to play a couple of them.

[@MLCflash]

@@felixdevilliers1 wel sir, take it easy. I read 4 volumes of translated letters between her and Brahms. That’s how I know. And his piano concerto is one of his greatest works for piano. I’m a pianist and not saying you’re lying. I’m just telling you that your truth was a bit without details for me. But have a nice evening.

[@MLCflash]

P.s. in the letters it is very clear that Clara was very concerned as well that Schumann’s works were published. A pity you think it was only Brahms. The volumes of letters I read were translated in very much details by Joop van Velzen, a Dutch author. Still have to finish the last volumes. I even have copies of old newspaper advertisements and reviews, that here in the NL in 1855 for example she played Schumann’s quintet etc.

[@felixdevilliers1]

@@MLCflash - I just tried to wrote a reply to all this giving a detailed account of how it was Brahms and not Clara who fought for the publication of the unpublished works but my comment keeps disappearing.

[@chadmorrismusic]

16:47 !!! A 100% milking of every last drop of Schumann's intent here, pure genius by both men. I think kids today would call this "swag"...

[@youngwoo5860]

No matter what anyone Evgeny Kission is now the best pianist in the world. His earnest performance always is beyond discription. He is absolutely genius since his childhood. What a impoccable play he does !!

[@voraciousreader3341]

While I agree with some of your comments, please remember that, because music is an art, opinions about it are *subjective,* whether they’re about composers’ compositions, orchestras, conductors, and performers….there is no objective measure to determine who is the “best.” So our individual opinions are our own, and therefore must be stated as such.

[@youngwoo5860]

There is the liberty of expression in art or in universe as soon as you have the same natural right. You and l are the same mankind who have the same natural right. I appreciate your opinion which you really love music and fine art. Thank for your opinion.

슈만은 이곡을 쓰면서 그의 연인 클라라 비크에게 “당신을 향한 내 마음의 울음”이라고 묘사하였다.

[@gerardocoluccini1751]

Robert Schumann dedicated this piano sonata to the woman who would become his wife, Clara Wieck, great pianist and composer herself. At the time, they were friends. Robert was a frequent guest in her house, but kept himself to declare his love, owing to his shyness. Clara played it for the first public execution, in Berlin. Before the concert, Robert said to her: "This sonata is dedicated to you." Clara answered: "I will play it to say that I'm in love with you."

[@hopeemch8511]

When I first heard this on the radio years ago with Schumann's Carnevale I thought it must be four hands playing. I went out and bought the recording and still believe that together they must be two of the most difficult pieces ever written. Consensus is that RAC 3 has it beat. I disagree.

Respect to the unbelievable skills of Mr. Kissin, but I guess this is how a russian virtuoso wants or should play? For me it's too fast, too loud boom boom. This is no beethoven, and Schumann for sure was not deaf. And if this makes me the only person in this world with this opinion, but this does not sound right to me. Just my humble opinion compared to someone like Perahia.

[@jonathanwyble4227]

Russian pianists typically play far down into the keybed. Are you saying this is too percussive for your taste, that you prefer a typical Teutonic performer's understated musical reserve? I thought that perhaps the piano could be voiced a little softer to provide a wider tonal palette.

[@wlf7917]

For me it is just another approach...kissin is very meticulous and captures schumann essence very well imo...perahia is awesome but kissin is a great performer, just a little different...I heard him live playing Beethoven appassionata and was magical
