[@Alix777.]

I was looking to listen to Papillons, hadn't heard these pieces in a while. I searched on KZbin and then I saw "Claudio Arrau plays Schumann Papillons op.2". I didn't search anymore. Best version I ever heard.

Diese Aufnahme habe ich vor 40 Jahren schon so gerne gehört, damals auf Schallplatte.

[@aurambros]

There are no words, this is genius. Listening or playing this piece always is a great emotion, a marvellous journey. In particular I find extraordinary the Final, when the initial theme returns and slowly shades like a merry gathering going away...almost a dream, a memory rather than something real.

[@tuanjim799]

I dig your words, really beautiful description of the piece.

[@lorenschifman4772]

A humane interpretation. The "sound" is beautiful.

[@cardakeys]

The best interpretation of "Papillons" I ever heard. Such a beautiful melody.

Arrau, genio del piano.

[@luva9007]

Very well played by Mr Arrau. One of the greatest pianists I know.

[@josswindsor8288]

Claudio the most prodigius pianist and perhaps the best century XX

[@casrifay]

Most delightful. A proper interpretation of the score

[@GaoGinger]

This piece touched my heart!

[@ariannaamaducci760]

ho ascoltato questo brano suonato da Parahia, Richter, Arrau, Sofronitsky, Horszowski, Kempff , Novaes and Demus, ammetto, ovviamente, che io non riuscirò mai a suonare come loro e neppure ad andare loro vicino. inoltre ho apprezzato gli svariati modi e le svariate sensibilità di ognuno di loro nell'affrontare ed interpretare questo bellissimo pezzo di Shumann ma credo che l'interpretazione della Novaes sia in assoluto la migliore, dando ella ci offra una grande gamma di sfumature nei passi ' Piano ' e ' Forte ' senza essere accademica ma con una vivacità, una grazia e una leggerezza tutta femminile, adattissime a questo pezzo... BRAVO a tutti ma SUPER BRAVO a lei ......I listened to this song played by Parahia, Richter, Arrau, Sofronitsky, Horszowski, Kempff, Novaes and Demus, I admit, of course, that I'll never be able to play like them and even to go near them. I also liked the variety of ways and the various sensitivities of each of them in addressing and interpreting this beautiful piece of Schumann but I believe that the interpretation of Novaes is absolutely the best, she giving a great range of shades in the steps 'Piano' and 'Forte' without being academic, but with a feminine vivacity, grace and a lightness, very suitable to this piece ... BRAVO to all but SUPER BRAVO to her..

[@robertfrankgill5962]

ariana amaducci I am NOT Brazilian but I adore Guiomar Novaes' recording of music that Schumann wrote when he was young, happy and in love. Though Arrau is excellent too.

[@amapola647]

Como siempre, Arrau un maestro!

[@socratesfernadez5503]

Es una pieza muy profunda, Robert con las ansias todas de la juventud de aquel instante,solo tenia 22 años y era apasionado y enamorado.- La interpretación de la pieza por Claudio Arrau es magistral.-

Très beau merci beaucoup !!!!

[@miguelm5764]

This makes me happy!!

[@Someonece]

Really love this dance suite. I can tell I’m going to love Schumann. Arrau also plays it very well. 3:22 and 5:22 sound inspired by Chopin as well.

[@MrGer2295]

Beautiful piano playing :)

[@junqinwu]

nice! this is one of the best interpretations of this piece i have ever heard!

[@clementvanlondersele7848]

The master of "papillons"

[@yunjoulin1131]

Beautiful!!

[@lipeng2002]

this piece is wonderful!

[@CarlosLima-oe7wn]

ARRAU EMPREGA A INFLEXÃO MAIS HARMONIOSA ÀS SUAS INTERPRETACÕES. DAÍ SER O MAIOR !

[@healingpowerofGod]

[@lloydgarmadon8648]

bravo frate!

[@TheRato81]

lindas....

[@camilloflaim8933]

Arrau have played the 12 studies of F.Liszt ; so can to play so much music very easy.

[@eternalclassicsbrothers9636]

Great playing! I just uploaded this piece too :)

[@gerardbegni2806]

First of all, let us note the genius of Schumann. This is only his op. 2 !!!!! As for the interpretation, between all those which I know, I see only Yves Nat which could be compared to Arrau. Nat plays a bit more quickly and lighter. Arrau is very analytical here. That can be an advantage. It depends inndeed from everybody's taste.

[@gerardbegni2806]

@J. K. You are fully right. This is typically a French mistake.

[@nachotolchefffernandez231]

Where can I buy a CD with this interpretation? I cant seem to find it in Spotify

[@venta004]

Try on Amazon. I am sure you can find it.

[@SuperMelvyn]

A piece for which I have great affecetion in a fresh, direct performance without self-indulgence. I think Richter finds more poetry but this demonstrates how much is already in Schumann's score even without any additional probing.

[@marianocastillo5779]

then what do you like from Schumann?

[@thefool3571]

8:35

[@pollyanna1818]

best

[@StrivetobeDust]

nice playing but I really hate music that gets cut off in the middle.

[@Thebadcontroller]

Then you'd better listen to music from the classical period if you don't mind

[@Tizohip]

:)

[@Hyerim_Byun_Pianist]

1829-1831

[@simm033]

I mean, this Interpretation is really nice and musical but sometimes it plays a bit too soft for me. Try listen to Robert Casadesus. It’s my favorite recording of the papillons. Arrau takes second place...

[@limesquared]

At nine minutes...

[@yyy7871]

干净利落

[@fionaandrose6239]

Hmmm... I do not like this interpretation that much. It didn't seem musical enough in the slower, sweeter sections.

[@rubestuh]

Beautiful depth of tone but the playing often lacks energy, especially in the slower moments. I much prefer Richter's version, also on KZbin.

[@MrPaevo]

As much as I like Schumann, I intensely dislike this piece...

[@p1gmastar101]

why

[@c.g.marseille4510]

yes, why ?

[@robertfrankgill5962]

Come on. He probably thinks 'dislike' means 'love'. It happens every day on KZbin. Misunderstandings between Fijians and Norwegians, between native speakers of Guaraní and Flemish, between Brits and Yanks... All with a poor grasp of the same language.😄
