Les seize enregistrements que le Duo Crommelynck a réalisés pour Claves au cours d'une dizaine d'années documentent de manière vivante les multiples facettes de leur remarquable musicalité, de Mozart à Brahms, de Tchaïkovski à Smetana, de Strauss à Milhaud.
Le choix des trois enregistrements Schubert pour cette édition commémorative était cependant clair dès le départ : non seulement Patrick et Taeko Crommelynck estimaient la musique de Schubert par-dessus tout, mais leur troisième enregistrement de ses œuvres pour piano à quatre mains était également destiné à rester leur dernier enregistrement.
Le grand talent artistique du Duo Crommelynck était égalé par sa culture unique, son exubérance, sa chaleur et sa générosité. Cette édition spéciale de leurs enregistrements de la musique de Schubert est née non seulement en commémoration de leur musicalité phénoménale mais aussi de leur esprit inspiré. Ces deux artistes ont réussi à donner une nouvelle vie à une forme qui était tombée dans un oubli presque total : la musique pour piano à quatre mains.
Le Duo Crommelynck unit la perfection du détail et le sens de la grande ligne mélodique, et traduit Schubert avec ce qu'il faut d'énergie, sans en détruire l'intimité. La cohésion stylistique est peu commune, tout comme l'intégrité et l'humilité de l'approche. Ce qui n'empêche pas une véritable envergure, lorsque c'est nécessaire (Variations, Sonate ‘’Grand Duo’’).
La disparition brutale de ce remarquable duo de piano n’est heureusement pas parvenue à nous priver de cette Fantaisie en fa qu’il voulait absolument re enregistrer et dont la lecture fiévreuse, aux tempos inhabituellement rapides, renouvelle totalement une des œuvres les plus connues de Schubert.
Des 35 opus consacrés par Schubert au piano à quatre mains, il s’agit de la plus importante production dévolue à cette formation par un compositeur romantique, aucun n'est banal et plusieurs sont de vrais chefs-d'œuvre. L'anthologie gravée par le Duo Crommelynck domine sans conteste les enregistrements de ces œuvres par sa musicalité absolue et la profonde compréhension des détours les plus secrets de la pensée du compositeur. Ce duo s'impose comme un des tout premiers enregistrement de Schubert à acquérir.

In great sadness, great music provides such incredible emotional support, as grief gives way to release and forward momentum. The Crommelyncks and Schubert left us legacies beyond their shortened lives. God gives music for many purposes, but in grief, it speaks when no voice can reach. Thank you for this posting!!

[@jornspirit]

OMG - this is so divine... the longer I listen to it, the more I fall for it... 😇🥰

[@user-tp9hn4mp5h]

I didn’t know there are so many Duo Works and all of them are so beautiful and fantastic 💕

[@KentishLad]

Another great choice! What wonderful playing, thank you for sharing. I had never heard of these performers before, so I looked at their biography on wikipedia. How sad to realise that their lives ended so tragically, just a few months after recording their third Schubert CD. We are fortunate that they left us some great recordings like this, but it's a shame they went so soon.

[@jiimbow]

one of the greatest musical collections of all time one of the best recording of all time nothing short of sublime... miraculous...spiritual art at its most profound dare I say inspired by God

[@puroscorridosviejitos22]

Amen!! Thank you for waking us once again to see an marvelous day, another week, another blessing, other gift, other lesson, and teaching. This morning Lord order our steps. Let thy will be done. God I know that you are near to the brokenhearted. Comfort the heart of those who are broken. Heal, mend, fix, restore so that many can return back to you as their first love. There is nothing Father you cannot do; because you are the Father of everything that we need and want. Thank you Lord for all that you have done and for what you continue to do in our lives. Help us Lord were we may lack, come up short, and where we may not understand. Blessings to you my brothers and sisters may your journey this week be filled with laugher, joy, peace, and calmness despite of everything that is going on. Please be safe, courageous and encouraged out there. Love you with the Love of God.❤💕🙏🙏

Thank you for this. The first piece is very dear to me. A family favorite. I was very sad to read of their suicide. What a tragic loss.

HOW BEAUTIFUL. I heard a recording of one with Richter and Britten, and it was good, very good in fact, and another that Emil Gilels played together with his daughter... but this one is CENTURY ....

C'est magnifique. RIP, pauvres Crommelyncks.

[@aerozden]

Actually, I would like to thank first to the authors of the comments posted. Just by means of them I got to know the Crommelyncks. And, I searched them on Google. If anyone thinks of the same, after reading these lines, I do recommend them to be ready for a crushing shock as to what happened to them. Thank you for posting these heritage recordings.

[@michaelletellier218]

I first encountered Claves Records at MIDEM, when I was a young Mkt Mgr for EMI(SA). Their catalogue reflects a great honesty and artists of exceptional calibre, epitomised by this recording which must surely resonate over the years. Thank you for posting.

[@chessematics]

One can never be too wonderstruck by the beginning of the F minor fantasy

[@fe12rrps]

It’s so true what you’ve written about reviving a long since neglected art form. At a young age, I was very fortunate to hear the Paratore brothers (Anthony and Joseph) perform. It was my first experience of how a duo can produce a beauty that exceeds the sum of its parts! This recording is the epitome of that.

[@catherinejones9396]

The Dutch Brothers, Lucas and Arthur Jussen, are two of the best young duettists I have ever heard, If you've not listened to them, they play a number of these Schubert works. There's a delightful duet with a very young Lucas playing Marche Militaire with Lang Lang if you hunt. The pair is improving and maturing steadily and deserve their fame.

[@helenavondrakenstein4969]

Mais uma maravilha de nossa 'garimpeira' Classic Music. Há muito não ouvia uma interpretaçao tão bela como essa. Thanks. Garimpeiro "é o nome que se dá aqui no Brasil a homens e mulheres que corajosamente se aventuram na busca de pedras preciosas ou de ouro, E fica a perplexidade de como este divino casal musical se desperdiram da vida num final tão trágico. Nâo há condenação alguma, apenas dor. Há um escritor basileiro, da minha terra, Minas Gerais, que diria assim: A vida é ingrata no macio de si; mas transtraz a esperança mesmo do meio do fel do desespero. Ao que, este mundo é muito misturado"... Muito difícil de traduzir para outra língua (embora ele tenha sido traduzido muitos outros idiomas), pois há uma forte linguagem cultural brasileira. O google translate me ajudará. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Another marvel of our 'garimpeira' Classic Music. He had not heard such a beautiful interpretation for a long time. Thanks. Garimpeiro "is the name given here in Brazil to men and women who boldly venture in search of gems or gold. And there is the perplexity of how this divine musical couple wasted of life in such a tragic end. There is no condemnation, just pain. There is a basilian writer, from my land, Minas Gerais, who would say: "Life is ungrateful in the soft of itself; but the hope of even the middle of the gall of despair. To what, this world is very mixed "... Very difficult to translate to another language (although it has been translated many other languages), as there is a strong Brazilian cultural language.

Muito lindo seu comentário, eu adoro o you tube, as maravilhas que encontramos de música clássica, sem o qual jamais viria a conhecer, e claro as pessoas que se propõe a dividir esses tesouros. Foi só agora há alguns meses que esse vídeo apareceu no meu time line, e não poderia ser mais grata. Que casal mais lindo e que talento. Estou completamente apaixonada! Mais ainda muito feliz que tive a sorte de ouvir isso antes de morrer, tenho certeza que minha vida mudou depois desse vídeo, e tenho ouvido muitas vezes. E Schubert, por favor que presente dos deuses pra humanidade.

[@hugogosset9123]

ßonjour, depuis la mort d'Achille, le demi-dieu qui n'eut qu'une demi-vie, il est fréquent d'entendre dire que "Ce sont toujours les meilleurs qui partent les premiers". Mais cela ne nous console pas vraiment ; comme dans le cas du violoniste Christian Ferras, ou de François ßonlieu, le plus magique de tous les danseurs ƒrançais, surnommé "£e Petit Prince des neiges" après son triomphe aux Jeux Olympiques d'Innsbruck. Alors, Oui, c'est très-précieux d'avoir au moins cet enregistrement : Franz Schubert aussi, doit être enƒin content. £ui, dont les épreuves furent déƒinitivement interrompues à seulement 31 ans!!!
