Schumann: Kinderszenen, Op. 15 | Tiffany Poon, piano

[@ТимофейАнохин-р8ь]

It's when you have played all the hardest standard repertoire, ballades, kreislerianes and appassionatas of the world, you settle down with something simple and beautiful because you know: you don't have to prove yourself anymore.

[@marcoponzio1644]

I get what you mean but at high levels there's basically no such thing as "settling". The best always make easy pieces hard, and they work to almost perfection to make it sound easy

[@suegha]

I agree with so many of the comments, this is truly amazing. She's brought something new and exciting to an old friend. It's so crisp and clean and so beautifully played.

Crisp clean playing with so much love for what you do. That is what good life is all about -- forget yourself, let the music speak.

[@peterwu8471]

I can't stop listening to this recording - I think it has become one of my favorite

[@peterwu8471]

This is so wonderful - I have listened like 5 times in a row - this is wonderful

Thank you for this concert! I was there in June and I really loved her concert and the emotions she brought to the audience! Tiffany Poon is such a good pianist

[@daucuscarota6602]

Wunderbar! Schumann ist wirklich ehrlich empfundene tiefste Romantik, ohne unechte Sentimentalität. Toll, wie der Komponist es verstanden hat, Empfindungen und "Szenen" in Musik einzufangen. Was mir an Tiffany Poon immer gefällt, ist ihr selbstvergessenes Spiel, wie sie sich scheinbar ganz ohne Nervosität vor großem Publikum ganz und gar in die Musik vertieft, und dabei aber immer auf höchsten musikalischen und technischen Niveau bleibt.

[@sfmmmo7599]

Omg! I'm so happy for her, she's great!!

[@davidstrumsky7012]

I've never heard this played so sympathetically and wise. The final movement's evolution to silence is worth all the years' listening I've done to hear this played this way. Thank you, Ms. Poon.

[@alexeykulikov2739]

Who else have you heard play this?

[@toflisbonne]

[@rinardman]

I love her Träumerei! 🤗

[@komoru]

Track 10 is my favorite. I never listened to much of Schumann before Tiffany and have followed her journey on youtube and enjoy her vlogs and she is really inspring.

[@user-wholistens]

Vielen Dank für diesen besonderen Konzertgenuss, diese feinfühlige Interpretation, und auch für die Erläuterungen, die das Verständnis für die Musik ebenso wie die Sympathie für die Pianistin noch einmal vertiefen. Auf die Schumann-CD bin ich sehr gespannt!

These pieces are close to my heart. They have so much emotional depth. It has always been a question of scholars whether or not they should be played by students. In my piano studies I quit playing etudes and undertook to learn these pieces, taking one a week. I don't think I've ever learned more from a single work. Even though now I am playing much more technically demanding work they remain some of my favorite music. They have so much to teacher in voicing, score interpretation and musical form. Every student should play these.

[@jacksongrant15]

I understand they are meant for adults as a musical means to reflect on childhood. They exist purely for their musical content. Horowitz, Argerich, Kempff and many other great pianists understood this.

[@KlayDoppar]

The first song is like her theme song to me now😊

[@DenizInanComposer]

a truely inspiring performance... I love the way how gently she makes all these pieces her own but still keeps the spirit of Schumann alive. Wonderful. Familiar but fresh! GREAT! no.7 and no.12 are truely magic!!!

[@danoz677]

So beautifull and so gentle how you play this piece. Never ever heard of Robert Schumann before since i follow you on you tube. About now i am a huge fan of this great composer. Also i am so glad i could see you perform for real last concert in Amsterdam, wow and wow never will forget this day. Keep on playing this beautifull music Tiffany and hope to see you again soon peforming more dead people music 😆

[@arpeggiomikey]

Another inspired -- and inspirational -- Schumann performance, Tiffany! Your work here, as in the Davidsbundlertanz, demonstrates a deep and abiding connection you clearly have with Schumann. Clara would be a bit jealous, I think! Many "bravas"! 👏😉

[@Mazurking]

Wonderful playing and outfit. Enjoyed this very much. Great job!

"Der Dichter spricht" really is a miniature master piece.

[@allanhfchin]

Der Dichter spricht, the last part, has always been my favorite; it never gets old. Schumann is my favorite composer. We are fortunate to have Tiffany here in New York City. 🙂

[@maestrovso]

Subline. Thanks DW Music for another amazing performance, and especially the thoroughly written about the composer, the work, the musician. This is better than even what record companies would do in providing the credits to all involved. Great performance by Ms Poon. She is another example of Hong Kong born Chinese American that achieves great thing in life through hard work and dedication. The subtle significance is her family came to US in 1996, just before the transfer of Hong Kong by the British back to the Communist China in 1997.

Hi Tiffany, i just bought your CD here in Berlin. Hope, to see and hear you once in Berlin- may be in the Philharmonie? Greetings ftom Gemany!

[@knittysong]

I love your performance of this masterpiece. I have taught myself many of the sections but have yet to play them nearly as beautifully as you do, and I have not worked "Hasche Mann" up to speed- finding it very challenging to do that!

People who are liable to annoy with coughing and consequently disrespect the musician(s) l in small venues knowing their predisposition should back off and not enter.

[@bikedawg]

I've never seen a pianist sit so erect while playing---such great posture!

[@joncaju]

I noticed that as well. But I think it actually makes her look a little stiff. I’m not suggesting her very upright posture is wrong or affects her playing in a negative way, but she’s more “stiff” looking than most professional pianists I’ve seen

[@bikedawg]

@@joncaju yes, for sure, but at least she looks better than some hunchbacks i've seen like glen gould!

[@EttorealbertoGelli-vr6sz]

​@@bikedawgthe GG position Is by specific musical reason

[@lonebeagle]

Where did half the notes go? I can't hear them--soft doesn't mean "not heard"!

You need to either have your hearing checked, or just turn up the volume on your device 😂

@@bloodgrss you can be blind to, but can't evade, her pretentiousness if she resorts to displaying visual showmanship to bolster her second-rated playing.

@@Deechimlew You would really have hated Liszt. But are you sure you are commenting on the right video? I see very little 'visual showmanship'. Pianists need to move more than just their fingers.
