Schubert - Brigitte Engerer (1984) Impromptus D. 899 (1827)

[@Ericbeaudet]

Disparue trop vite... Elle occupait une place tellement importante dans le monde musical 🎼 une immense interprète !!! Merci à notre chère Brigitte Engerer pour tout ce qu’elle nous a offert sa sensibilité son intelligence sa poésie pianistique. L’écouter en silence c’est lui rendre hommage. Magnifique souvenir 🎶

[@FCom-nz3wd]

C'est bien dit... Souvenirs très forts de concerts à la salle Pleyel ou au Théâtre des Champs Elysée.... Et elle avait l'extrême bonté de répondre à chacun, après le concert, dans le hall, en français, en anglais en allemand, en russe... Une des musicienne qui m'a le plus marqué, avec Arthur Grumiaux, Andres Segovia ou encore Yuri Temirkanov

[@EttorealbertoGelli-vr6sz]

BRIGITTE aveva lo Spirito che la accompagnava e si presentava a LEI sotto forma di SCHUBERT e CHOPIN. Ou es tu maintenant, ame legendaire...

DINU....ALFRED....MARIA ....CLIFFORD.... BRIGITTE....

[@orlandodilasso2319]

Pianiste extraordinaire , universelle.

[@alm6366]

Mon Dieu, quelle grâce d'écouter Schubert sous la main ferme, mate, docile et magnanime d'Engerer avec mes deux petites filles afin d'accompagner le soir qui tombe sur le Jura, dans la chaleur de ce printemps... Engerer est encore là, nous l'entendons, nous l'aimons...

The more i have heard of her, the more i love her playing, phrasing, touch, sense of the composer's intent, and her courage. She is fragile. She is steel. She bends but never breaks. Music is her natural habitat. We lost such an incredible talent.

[@danearhart9345]

perfect

[@hans-jorgeygerd9044]

Yes.

[@treesny]

A French pianist who studied extensively in Russia: she combines delicacy and sensitivity with tremendous power.

[@Ernesto7608]

Since I started listening to her a few days ago I am amazed. I have heard these Impromptus dozen of times played by the best pianists. But I have NEVER heard them, especially the No. 3, played like this, purely MUSICAL thanks to Schubert. No attempt to bring out brilliance, technique, emotions. The same musical honesty I find in her interpretations of Chopin. I wonder why Brigitte Engerer is not more appreciated and popular like the other greats, Lipatti, Brendel, Rubinstein, Perahia,...

[@klausehrhardt4481]

Me too. Simplicitá is something rare and utmost underated these days.

[@EmptyVee00000]

She is on my personal list of the top fifteen pianists, which includes Ashkenazy, Richter, Perahia, Gilels, Kissin and others.

RIP Brigitte - 27 October 1952 - 23 June 2012.

Beautiful playing!

Lo SPIRITO muove la sua ANIMA e le sue MANI. JSB. SCHUBERT. WAGNER.

Best interpretation I have ever heard

[@alejocrespi]

La presión perfecta en cada nota, ella toca chopin mejor que nadie, emociona y seduce como nadie. UNICA!!!

[@lindakarus4324]

Bravississimo! A great soul.

[@klausehrhardt4481]

I do listen to it again, again and again... The more I do so (no 1 and 3), the more the evidence grows clear to me and I have to state: Yes, thus it is! As Hugo Wolf, Schubert dealt musically with the fact that he knew the way death would come upon him: many composition, or at least, some movements and extracts are prayers, and in at least one them, there is an answer (d960 - second movement). To interpret music of such nature demands a soul willingly to unfold itself before the unknown: mysteries that existence itself may pose upon every one of us sooner or later. It demands an heroic spirit to face it. It is a pity that we have not much more of Schubert by Engerer here on youtube, nonetheless, I would like to thank the uploader again for such a gem. Regards.

[@esotericsolitaire]

I love her playing and have wondered if she might have actually channeled Chopin. I've never heard anyone else come as close to what seems like the original.

[@leonardoneckar850]

Escucho a. Esta pianista, y la analizó y me doy cuenta que es imposible tan sólo igualarla , nada qué ver con los de este tiempo, es eterna porque es única.

[@patsyneddy]

definitely one of the best interpretations of this by far

[@gilbertgars3424]

Brigitte...un toucher merveilleux

[@marcmitchel25]

Magisterial and insightful. I personally like #4 just a very little more deliberate in tempo than she takes it. Vitya Babin once told a student, "you don't hurry in heaven".

[@JessicaWilliamspianist]

Listen to her Chopin here. Magnificent.

[@klausehrhardt4481]

In this music (first impromptu) is such inocence and meeknes as to suffice for a voice to speak unto god!

[@The_Daon_Theory]

As always Brigitte is the best.

[@wielandhartwich3184]

She is one of the greatest pianists of our time. It is a shame how little she is known in Germany. Listen to Horowitz playing op. 90/3 and you will hear the difference between Bigitte Engerers true Schubert sound and the artificial style of Horowitz. In German we say „emotionales Getue“.

[@jiancai_nocturne]

Why u so like this KGB spy?

[@GoldinDr]

@@jiancai_nocturne OMG Engerer was not a KGB spy, and @Wieland Hartwich it isn't necessary to try to tear down Horowitz in order to appreciate Engerer.

[@jiancai_nocturne]

@@GoldinDr She was.

[@carloslamasdeoliveira1347]

@@jiancai_nocturne but what does that have to do with art, with music? This is just a cowardly and scoundrel accusation to a person who can no longer defend herself. And what did you come here to do in a Brigitte Engerer publication? Who did you come to spy on? This is not your place, sorry.

[@jiancai_nocturne]

Interprétation immarcescible et très émouvante.

Brigitte Engerer deepest filling

[@clangingchimes]

As a native English speaker, I can only echo those words with sincere applause.x

[@leonardoneckar850]

Es única y eterna, qué es lo sublime para todos nosotros, estar presente en cada pieza musical, no se fue esta con nosotros en todas sus notas.

[@EmptyVee00000]

Deepest feeling.
