Piano Masterclass with Gyorgy Sebők / Einat Fabricant / Liszt: Funerailles /Jerusalem Music Centre

[@axelsohn1454]

Sebok's insights, and his impulse, sonority and timing are superb and really inform the funereal character and depth of the work. I always appreciated his collaboration with Starker, but this is marvelous.

What an extraordinary archive! The student is extraordinary in this Liszt that I adore to the point of obsession, and the Maestro is simply fabulous. A bewitching masterclass, even when you don't know how to play Funérailles.

I participated in Sebök’s classes at Banff in 1989. He made such a deep and lasting impression. How lovely to see him again!

Excellent teacher. He gives us a lot of useful advice. Thanks for sharing. Greetings

György Sebök was truly the Maestro Par excellenceß!

[@JonDunnmusician]

An extremely gifted teacher

[@quaver1239]

Splendide!

Excellent masterclass with Sebok.

One of the greatest revelation in musicianship. It’s also should be noticed that prof. Sebok had perfect material for this demonstration, the girl is really talented, if she just would have been trained more skillful sound production, but she in some degree compensates it in her ability to communicate her inner content.

About the finest masterclass I've ever seen. Had heard Sebok's name but didn't know anything about him. Brilliant and deeply insightful. The young lady is very perceptive and musically sensitive. I hope she's gone on to fine career. Not like some of the clueless ones I'e seen Fleisher try to drag along in his masterclasses.

8:39 - Liszt pays tribute to Chopin, since this piece was probably written to commemorate Chopin's death (I think: although some say Liszt said otherwise, but obviously the octaves link is too blatant.) It is a homage to Chopin - just as Schubert's impromptu 1 d 899 was a homage to Beethoven (after his death) - again as a funeral march - just my opinion again) Incredible playing!

Wierd!

He was a very mean spirited person. I saw him attempt to eviscerate a student with horrible words of contempt and it was a fabulous performance. He actually was making extremely personal comments which would not be put up with today. It would get somebody fired on the spot. I think he was highly overrated

[@allegrissimo]

Interesting comment…What you’re describing might be more a problem of the current times we’re living in. I find that people are less and less capable of really listening and learning by opening their minds and leaving their ego’s at the doorstep. Mr Sebök carried out the knowledge of a very rich piano tradition. If you are stating that he was highly overrated, I assume you have the qualifications to judge that?

[@gatesurfer]

Read Jeremy Denk's "Every Good Boy Does Fine," a preview of which was in The New Yorker. While acknowledging that Sebok could be "old school" tough, he has a vastly different view of his importance. Certainly his ideas here about generating different colors on the piano are very interesting.

@@gatesurfer That's a great book! Required reading for every pianist, would-be or professional

[@user-fu7zf4ck9z]

@@allegrissimo what a stupid remark. You really think not tolerating assholes is a "problem of the current times we're living in"? Insults have nothing to do with rich piano tradition. You should open your mind to maybe a let a brain in and do the thinking for you. Whether he was an overrated teacher or not is insignificant to his obviously brilliant piano playing, no qualifications needed to judge the character of someone while still being able to appreciate the artistry of said person

I have attended a n d played in Master classes over many years. Gyorgy Sebok gave the finest, attended by people in many fields as he was so profound and ever open and spontaneous. I heard him as performer as well, v e r y subtle and selfless and was privileged to enjoy the friendship of both Gyorgy and his lovely wife, Vica.
