Massenet: Meditation from Thaïs for piano (Andrew von Oeyen) filmed in Paris

Album: wmgartists.com/lp1/8809/saint-...
Andrew von Oeyen: Ravel, Saint-Saëns and Gershwin Piano Concertos with Emmanuel Villaume and PFK Prague Philharmonia
iTunes: itunes.apple.com/album/id11826...
“Perhaps it is no coincidence that my debut album for Warner Classics presents a Franco-American theme,” says pianist Andrew von Oeyen of this programme of works by Saint-Saëns, Ravel and Gershwin. An American (of German and Dutch origin) who trained at New York’s Juilliard School, he lives between Los Angeles and Paris. He is partnered on the album by the PFK Prague Philharmonia under its Music Director and Chief Conductor Emmanuel Villaume - a Frenchman who is very much at home in the USA, as Music Director of the Dallas Opera and as a frequent guest conductor with America’s leading opera companies and orchestras.

Probably one of the greatest interpretations of Meditation de Thaïs I've ever heard. This artist is truly masterful.

[@vivianpanmin]

This is the best solo piano performance of this masterpiece that I’ve ever heard. What a beautiful arrangement and interpretation by the pianist. I’m thrilled this stunning rendition will be used in the upcoming movie “La Passion de Dodin Bouffant”.

[@joanjackson2706]

I have never heard anything so beautiful. I like this piece and I have been trying to find this music just for the piano. This young man has put his soul into this piece of music.

[@Andrea-xs4ny]

This is truly perfection! This gorgeous piece deserves no less than Andrew von Oeyen's amazing playing.

[@linalam101]

Meditative, magical, and expressive

[@kathycuriousxxx2024]

Played with deep, soulful feeling and emotion ....... absolutely beautiful!

[@pangorban1]

Can't decide which is more beautiful - the music or the room.

[@christianguignard9980]

Very honest, clever and sensitive piano playing ! This morning, while waiting for the train in Avignon station with my young son, a father played this marvel on the piano in the hall station, for his little daughter ... Many parents stood in front of the piano with their beloved children ... even much younger than mine. Flowed the tears. Then we all left our children climbing alone the long stairs to the rails, with heavy luggage, because we are not any more allowed to accompany them further ... Also, some elderlies slowly an painfully walked alone on the ramp. And the music still went on flowing. Thank you so much sir; such a music playing helps us to live, even and mostly in sad circumstances.

[@miriamrodriguez5021]

I’ve been hearing this music for many years when I was much younger. And I am glad to see Andrew playing this on KZbin. I’ve have since playing Massenet Meditation over and over repeatedly.just loved it! By the way, I am now near 80 yo in a few months. I just told my daughter who is a good pianist to add Massenet to her collection of piano pieces to play on my life celebrations. So far they’re Ave Maria by Gounod/Bach, Claudine by Maksim Mrvica and of course Massenet. Thank KZbin for your services! Happy New Year everyone! My English is under your care 🙏🏼🎉❤️

[@larrywoods6318]

Probably the most beautifully played piano version of this gorgeous music.

[@alexfriesen497]

Several beautiful things to appreciate here at once; the beautiful music itself, composition and interpretation; the miracle of this moment within the Thaïs narrative; the beautiful room and instrument; and the Sacré-Cœur atop Montmartre outside the window. Magical!

[@c.a.savage5689]

This brings tears to my eyes. Deeply moving rendition, beautifully played.

[@giuseppeguida9322]

Beautiful melody and excellent play, this music touch the deep soul.

Everything is beautiful about this setting. Thank you for sharing your passion.

[@bealreadyhappy]

Beautifully played, by a beautiful man, in a beautiful place. Thank you. Px

[@jovitamamaradlo1517]

This piece, composed byJules Massenet rendered masterfully by Andrew is a prayer by itself... I listen to it twice a day during my morning and evening prayers. It deepens meditations on the words of God as He speaks thru the Bible.

[@fwi4078]

Thank you, playing for us, beautiful ly performance.

[@marcolagona]

What a great combination: accomplished arrangement, stunning performance and a wonderful location!

[@wagnerpolveiro7176]

I just love this piece of Massenet and it is adorable to listen to it played by Andrew von Oeyen, a real great talented pianist. Thanks, WarnerClassics for sharing.

In case anyone is wondering this arrangement was done by the pianist and is published.

This is a fantastic performance and transcription. In fact, it is a case where I submit that the transcription might be more effective than the original.

Soave trascrizione pianistica. Rispettosa e aderente all'originale per violino e orchestra.

Mes compliments!

[@fabiennechanteloube9775]

Waouh!!!!!! J'ai commencé à travailler cette magnifique partition hier, sur mon vieux Young Chang, je peux vous dire qu'il y a de quoi y passer des heures, mais c'est jubilatoire d'obtenir les 1ères notes....

[@larasheilan4985]

Hi Andrew, amazing arrangemeant!! Do You have a music sheet?

[@merrycheryl]

I am also looking for the piano music sheet! I want to learn to play it. Pls share info if u find it. thanks

[@ellinorhamilton]

I bought it on Amazon, this very arrangement transcribed by von Oeyen himself.

[@e7venjedi]

K the music is gorgeous, but can we also talk about that view?!?! What a great venue that matches the piece -- exquisite, tasteful, romantic... Anyone know the city? I didn't see it in the notes.

[@kergroix5881]

Paris ! The church you see in the background is Le Sacré Coeur

[@juliencurutchague4239]

Where can we get the partitions of his arrangement ?? I'll pay them if I've got to ... :'( The existing partitions are nowhere but close to that version

[@erniecm915]

Go to KZbin search, type in Meditation de Thais by Massenet with music sheet...the same arrangement that Andrew is playing ....

[@zeltika]

❤️

[@myhumbleopinion1036]

👌👌👌

[@sirjcc]

beautiful song, still best on the violin though. there's something missing a pure piano can never capture

[@robinwilson1433]

Sorry, James, don't agree, but it's all just personal taste (although I don't really know enough to make an informed comment - I just loved this version!)

[@ionjerdea8147]

[@EtanMS22]

Does anyone know where you might be able to find sheet music for this particular arrangement? Every version I've been able to find so far only has single notes in the left hand and I'd rather not have to take the time to listen to and write this one out myself.

[@yungao3077]

Perfect timing of the day to film this.

[@peteralbano6408]

What sheet music version is this? I would love to buy this version!!!

[@ekaterinapetrova981]

très belle version, malgré les inexactitudes dans la partition 😊

[@OctoPlaysPiano]

Very interesting that this is similar to Rachmaninoff Op. 23 No. 4; perhaps Rach was influenced by this?

[@TotallyNormalbruv]

Clean piano

[@MyPianoRarities]

Di chi è la trascrizione? Sicuramente non di Léon Roques, che è l'unica che conosco. Grazie
