Mozart Fantasia in C minor K.475 András Schiff

Mozart Fantasia in C minor K.475
András Schiff, piano
Recital in May 2021

[@LouisEmery]

I thank the audience for pausing two seconds before applauding to allow the final notes to sound out.

[@anfarahat]

Apparently, they were not quite sure whether this is the end of the piece or not.

[@stephenjablonsky1941]

One of the great secrets about this piece is that is is listed as being in C minor but there are no C minor chords until the very end. This is what we call tonic delay in the extreme. How great was Mozart?...don't ask.

[@classicgameplay10]

There are no c minor chords ?

[@stephenjablonsky1941]

@@classicgameplay10 I know it is hard to believe but Mozart saved the tonic chord for the very end.

[@sophie-grace9143]

Miraculous. And the line of succession to Beethoven and Chopin is so clear. If only Mozart had lived longer.

[@pe-peron8441]

The only two pianists I think can described as Mozart's heirs are Alkan and Scriabin, and certainly not the nasty Beethoven

[@hortleberrycircusbround9678]

​@@pe-peron8441 Alkan is on the level of Mozart?

[@littlepawML]

Beethoven, Nasty?? Bro, you're just biased. You can just say you don't like Beethoven because of personal preference. ​@@pe-peron8441

[@scottfry9697]

Incredible. I could listen constantly, MINUS the commercial that blasts out just before one of the most beautiful parts of the Fantasia. Commercials......

[@mersouled]

This lovely theme that emerges at 2:40 is among my top 10 of all of Mozart’s themes and this is saying A LOT!

[@quaver1239]

Head-over-heels in love with Schiff’s musical sensibilities. Best performance of K.475 I’ve ever heard.

Pure beauty.

[@marioduparc4097]

Quelle doigté ...La finesse de Sir Schiff au service de Trazom...Les Bossendörfer ont une qualité de son qui convient particulièrement à cette Sonate ...Les Steinway (et Fils ) ne sont pas irrepassables pour les Classiques ... Merc encore , Siri...!

[@rsjmd]

I think you make a good point...while I was thinking how special Mr. Schiff plays in his special manner, the tone of the B adds a different dimension to it, likely via his own preferences, although I think opinions would differ amongst listeners.

[@JWP452]

Truly beautiful, played by a genius.

[@nataliafomina5846]

Браво!!!Какая прекрасная интерпретация!!! Спасибо огромное за это видео!❤

[@keplergso8369]

Wonderful ! I go and play this piece, learning from this performance ! Schiff plays it in an intimate way, cause this piece seems very interrogative.

[@soozb15]

Yes it's lovely, a very refined performance. Having said that, I do prefer the live version by Schiff's contemporary, Zoltan Kocsis, which is so different - 'gutsy' and dramatic, I would say. I'll listen to one or the other, depending on my mood!

[@lawrencetaylor4101]

Merci

[@YoungsPiano]

Very impressive interpretation! I love it. Thank you for uploaing this beautiful video.

[@anaconrad9423]

Una de las obras complejas de Mozart. Hermosos contrastes de modo inocente y dramático. Debe haber sido de su última época. Me encanta la ejecución de András Schiff. Gracias!!

[@BuckForearm]

Just close your eyes and drift away.

Bellissima immagine. Bravo, è proprio vero!

여긴한국입니다. 현재 넘 더운 날씨예요^^ k.475 는 학교든 학원이든 잘 치질 않는곡 이예요..저는50대 주부인데 어떤곡인지 들어보고...연습할려고요 독학으로 공부할려고요 선생님은 잘 치셔서 좋으시겠어요.. ^^

[@sarah-qw7nn]

definitely inspiration for succession at 10:38!!!!

[@dimitrisbouk]

You can also find this harmonic motif on Beethoven's "Pathetique" sonata (1st movement) but much more embellished. So basically, "Succesion" is based on Beethoven's "Pathetique" sonata.

This was wonderful ♥️ Excellent♥️ The masks🤣

[@MrA5htaroth]

Masterful.

[@styleexnietz1900]

great

[@Christian-tw7me]

This Peace sounds sometimes like Schubert or Beethoven very romantic so that can be wrote in the Nineteen Century..

[@larryprimeau5885]

great audio one of the best performances of K.475 I've ever heard. I did hear one small mistake but who cares? brilliant.

[@ilymelons2000]

One little unfortunate slip at bar 135 specifically on the left hand E - flat octave?

[@gonzalo4658]

The beauty about this particular event is the little mistakes in french suites and stuff. It’s more of playing than a “performance”. The word “perform” has a negative connotation. Schiff gives us the most delightful musical moments here, gives us view into his alone playing. It’s a jampack of musical philosophy, sentiment, divinity, and transcendence. It’s what music is. Defined by schiff. That hall defines music just as well, wouldnt be surprised if it was his pick to the cubic inch

[@gonzalo4658]

But in actuality, i didnt hear a mistake. I think you care the most out of all of us 😂

BRAVO

[@diazmalcolm]

what room and venue is this?....it is stunning!

[@rjr1967]

yes I was thinking exactly that... where is it? I thought it was Wigmore Hall until I saw the windows. (Have to confess I've never actually been to the Wigmore Hall)

[@andreabacchetti7015]

Fantastic! Have the other part of the recital? With Bach and Beethoven, I think?

[@petergreen1869]

Beautiful playing but personally I prefer the orchestral version of this work: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmapl2ulrb6GnqM

[@churrte]

It seems that Beethoven was inspired by this work for his "Apassionata"

[@LuluBodhi]

10:39

[@frederickmenu3140]

+1, only a great master can play that like that. plus, sounds like Schubert, for exemple symphony n°8 or the spirit of his last sonatas

[@emarekica]

I love this sonata and hear it in my inner ear quite differently than Mr. Schiff. While I have a huge respect towards him and his interpretation, I couldn't help but hear Bach-like sound written all over it.

[@benzandpour]

Came here to see the real deal after watching RUNNING ON EMPTY with RIVER PHOENIX.

Why in Henle edition this sonata is different ?!!??

[@kristine8338]

Des oren troost.

[@Robert…Schrey]

how to properly call the scale in the last bar? it‘s c minor with a instead of a flat.

[@BrianPaick]

This would be a melodic minor scale, as both A and B are natural instead of flatted.

[@alexandredarrasse5068]

Listen Maria Yudina version !!!

[@user-gn6go7pc9b]

Да,это уже трудно слышать….

[@democolor42]

can you please name the hall? it is in the UK, but which hall?

[@user-il8ne5qb7v]

Rather Mozartian manner. You hear baroque, do not you?

[@user-sf2uy4po2y]

Jaws theme anyone?

[@Inielboult75018]

Un de mes pianistes préférée mais sur cette version main droite des fois ne tombe pas tout à fait en même temps que la gauche ce qui fait une sorte de fla fla un peu comme une accacciature.

[@Hofsaedter]

I like the version of Mitsoko Uchida much better.

[@Super78Mario]

Mozart wouldnt like Schiffs performance. He is great for Bach. But for Mozart u have to express emotions as if u were in an opera. The important Fp in the 32th notes of the adagio (many editions wrong), he didnt play.Very poor interpretation.

[@claudioparrella183]

concordo, anche a me non piace

[@trysubscribe25]

Fp?

[@trysubscribe25]

Schiffs未將情感發揮到極致

What a SHAME is the combination of such a composer, pianist, interpretation, setting, piano, flowers, image and the satanic slavery of the plandemic rags, over the audience faces (starting 4:40)... That will remain a stain on history forever.
