I can't stop listening. This music is calling deep into one's soul

[@znbr1]

The pianist is outstanding!

[@robertfrankgill5962]

Zalman Blaier. Yes! These days there seem to be quite a number of excellent chamber music pianists, pianists who know when to take the lead and when not to. Frank Dupree strikes me as a prime example. Piano Trios, Piano Quartets & Piano Quintets NEED pianists like him, like Itamar Golan, like Dejan Lazic (the guy who looks like the former Barça footballer Xavi Hernández). Also Connie Shih and Francis Grier.

[@claudioalbornoz5588]

The Scherzo is amazing, full of intensity and great constrasts between the piano and the rest of the instruments, ff and pp, long ans short notes, soft and sweet passages and powerfull strokes. I enjoyed it very much specially because I just heard it for the first time in my life.

[@stephenmessick6619]

Claudio having experienced this piece for the first time you must be exhausted! I know I was.

[@Cagri100note]

Unbelievable performance. It sounds like a recording and I never heard such a harmoniously quintet before. All musicians understanded the piece and played every profoundly aspect! They had a sense of perfectionism and I believe, this is (in term of Brahms intention) the "rightest" version that was ever played. They convinced with (right placed and authentic) emotions and music sheet loyalty!

[@beatamarko4463]

it's a great joy to see so talented young people. I've been listening to this about 5 times, it is also one of my favorites Brahms-pieces. 👏❤

[@KSfan4ever]

Wow, what a fantastic, emotional and inspired performance of this wonderful, treasured masterpiece!

Of all the many pieces of classical music, this is my favorite. And you were terrific Mr Dupree!!!

[@Nori648chajin]

ずっと、こういう演奏を聴きたいと思っていました。生きる力と希望が湧いてきました。ありがとう。

[@stephenmessick6619]

I'm so glad to see more uploads of this piece on KZbin. In my mind this piano quintet is one of the high points of Western Art. It truly is that magnificent!

[@lacamo99]

I listened to this brilliant performance by Mr. Dupree and the quartet earlier in the day and, reflecting on it subsequently, realized that it was his playing and he himself that was most memorable; as if the piece was called "Piano Sonata in F Minor with Quartet Accompaniment". Obviously, this young man is enormously gifted, tossing off the most technically difficult passages with ease and sparkle others would envy. But, that's not the point of this: performers are servants and, in the end, it is the music and the voice of the composer that is to be served, not the other way around. As a contrast, I recently watched the Istomin, Stern, Rose Trio perform the B Major Trio: the tears started flowing from the opening notes of Mr. Rose's cello. Never did one have the feeling that this was anything but a perfect musical collaboration; never, not for a moment did one of these towering figures outshine the others! Perhaps I'm being unfair: comparing a brilliant new wine to a fine, aged Burgundy. I would hope in the coming years, as Mr. Dupree grows musically and is humbled, as we all are, by the experiences of a long life, that he can enrich the world with the fruits of his marvelous talent and dedication to his art.

[@jmrecillas]

Una interpretación absolutamente descomunal, soberbia, espectacular. Todo en esta interpretación está en el lugar correcto. Los tempi son perfectos, la atención al cuidado en el fraseo y los contrapuntos son alucinantes. Pero sobre todo, y en esto se diferencia de todas las otras versiones en KZbin, el carácter y la lectura global son descomunales. No sólo son todas las notas que Brahms escribió, es también ese espíritu de madurez interpretativa que pocas veces encuentra uno en un grupo de intérpretes. El grado de comprensión de la obra por parte de los intérpretes es simplemente ejemplar, desde el primer acorde uno sabe que está ante un grupo de intérpretes notabilísimos y que todo lo que sigue va a ser monumental majestuoso, como en efecto resulta ser. Un auténtico ejemplo de inteligencia y madurez interpretativa. ¡Bravo!

[@paules3437]

I've played the piano for the third movement. Astounding. And these guys are sharp! I say give that pianist a raise!

[@igormaxwel9870]

This is my favourite Brahms's chamber piece and of all Brahms's works in general form.

[@mcrettable]

have you heard his string quintet and piano concerto no 2?

[@aeolianartists]

This is played very well and is one of my favorite pieces of chamber music. Bravi Maria, Julian, Hanna, Guillaume and Frank!

[@cawag98]

[@TJFNYC212]

this performance is more than superb ..... It has taken me several hour to listen to the recording because I get going back to listening to the 1st movement the 2nd movement is stunningly beautiful.............. OH BRAHMS... did you ever write a wrong note?

[@poetmale]

In Dänemark sagt man: wer muss, muss. Gänsehaut und Tränen, was willst du Mehr? Ich bewundere diesen Pianisten zum Äussersten, nur die grosse (unbequeme?)Jacke: nimm sie ab!

[@w.muller4769]

tausche sie gegen eine noch unbequemere ?

[@user-lb2ed9um9x]

Mit oder ohne Jacke, egal. Der Mann spielt perfekt.

[@peterlim5730]

Sublime! I have moved from Beethoven to Brahms as in my modest view the latter has greater psychological depth- if emotions have layers, Brahms's lies at the deepest. Beethoven's music is structural perfection, Brahms's is the ultimate sub-conscious. Music-lover from Melb, amateur violinist

[@philgrant8927]

Emotional/psychological depth… Maybe. But for spiritual depth nothing matches the Beethoven late quartets in chamber music. Schubert's quintet, which influenced Brahms, comes a very very close. Interestingly, in his last months Beethoven was working on both a 10 Symphony and a string quintet with two cellos in C major. Schubert visited Beethoven on his deathbed. They also had a mutual friend in the amateur violinist Karl Holz. Schubert's string quintet two years later was also with two cellos and in C major. Schubert wrote for him. If you listen to all these works - the Beethoven late quartets - and the Schubert quintet - fall asleep to them, allow them into the profoundest recesses of your mind, well, you may see I'm right. I think a far greater work of Brahms is the Trio number one in B-flat which he revised many years after this. Interestingly, the original version was composed when Brahms was only 20… And was one year after the Schubert was first published! I'm sure the Schubert quintet influenced that work, but it needed the great revision Brahms gave it many years later.

Ist das herrlich. Muss gerade für's Abitur den Brahms analysieren und denke mir auf einmal "hey, das Gesicht kenn ich doch!" :D Wir haben die selbe, wunderbare Lehrerin (falls du noch zu ihr gehst). :) Tolle Aufnahme! Liebe Grüße und alles Gute für die Zukunft! :)

Meinen sie Duprees Lehrerin Frau speidel? :D

[@Tintenfinger]

Wunderbar.

[@yimeizi2648]

This is the fastest version I've heard!

[@stephenhunt8756]

Find me a finer performance, from anyone, in the last forty years.....hard to think of one. Spirited, with a glowing tone, and the perfect playing through of the mini-breaks and pauses. Quite remarkable. Any chance of some from the same group??!!

[@mariateresadelgrossi68]

bravi!

[@Rettilos]

my favorite part is from 13:50. SO GOOD!

[@LtAld0Raine]

Wow! I only knew the Quartetto Italiano/Pollini version (almost by heart) and I thought I could't like any other, but this one is so good (a bit reminiscent of that one, maybe? I think it's impossible not to be influenced by that quintessential recording)

[@stephenhunt8756]

A very complex (musically) and demanding (mechanically) work, which here is given a performance con bravura. Grateful thanks to Frank Dupree for giving us a chance to hear this performance. Umm...are there any more performances by the same group on youtube? I can't wait to hear them again.

[@scottweaverphotovideo]

Finally great recorded sound from a live (very fine) performance! Loved almost all of it... they overrushed the fourth movement. Needs to be a bit slower (listen to Rubenstein and the Guarneri). Frank Dupree really has these notes down. Great job!

[@MrOlogramma]

[@MsUbor]

Gerd FrankeBrahms schreibt im Finalsatz als Tempoverhältnis des Poco sostenuto zum Allegro non troppo "Halbe gleich Viertel" vor. Im Allegro soll also die Viertel so schnell gespielt werden wie im Vorspann die Halbe. Das Ensemble hier verdoppelt das Tempo jedoch. Tatsächlich müsste, wenn man den von Brahms gewünschten Ausdruck realisieren will, das Poco sostenuto deutlich beschleunigt werden, während man das Allegro etwas zurücknehmen kann. 76 Schläge pro Minute - zunächst für die Halbe, dann für die Viertel - erscheinen sinnvoll. Dann verliert das Poco sostenuto auch diesen romantisierenden Tristan-Ton.

Pure curiosity: why were there 7 people onstage receiving flowers at the end?

[@dabedwards]

I'd say the technical crew responsible for recording this wonderful performance getting their well merited recognition -- fine artists in their own way, often unappreciated.

[@adamchan6296]

this one is superb, close to the clara haskil one, the acoustic effects are much better, but lack the spontaneous precision and tenderness of that one, a perfect combination of romanticism and classicism, this one emphasizes the dark side of Brahms soul not enough,perhaps it is because they are young, have never love someone before, sacrifice for them, become desparate, and still hold themselves, continuing the musts of life,like Brahms, like Haskil, like all the immortals, tested by Fate, and endure and overcome, so still as an expression not only of music but life as well, the Clara Haskil one is still my number 1, and perhaps the Glenn Gould one remains in the second place firmly. He really understands Brahms and Wagner, not Bach. His Bach is pure sophistications, his Brahms is from his soul.

[@neilwalsh3977]

[@stephenhunt8756]

Err...Some months ago I sent a comment to Frank Dupree asking for more piano/chamber music from him and whichever group. Still no more from this source!! Oh dear - must we beg?

[@FrankDuepree]

Dear Stephen, I beg for some patience. I am currently working on 4 different CD recordings. So please stay tuned for a little bit more time. A lot of great music will come up very soon.

[@gandalfdieradikalemitte2424]

Super macht ihr das, leider das falsche Stück gewählt!

[@FrankDuepree]

Welches Stück wäre denn das richtige?

[@gandalfdieradikalemitte2424]

Es gibt natürlich nicht DAS richtige Stück. Dass mir das Klavierquintett op. 34 von Brahms nicht so zusagt, hat verschiedene Gründe, ist natürlich nur meine persönliche Meinung. Der dritte Satz (also das Scherzo) gefällt mir übrigens sehr gut, wohingegen ich den zweiten Satz eher vermeide. Ich finde tiefe Streicher meistens schöner als die Hohen. Daher kann ich stücke mit basslastigerer Besetzung, wie beispielsweise das Forellenquintett von Schubert, oft mehr genießen.
