Seymour Bernstein: Brahms, Intermezzo Op.117 No 2.

[@sharithompson4747]

"Acceptable?" Dear Seymour, your playing is always exquisite, but you are playing this intermezzo as gorgeously as I've ever heard you play. I've just listened to it three times-the dogs have, too-and now I have to tear myself away and take them for their walk. Thank you, thank you, thank you for this sublime performance.

Shari, I can't tell you how moved I am by your response. You are truly special and among the relatively few people in the world who wish only to benefit others. My deepest thanks.Seymour

[@mackiceicukice]

Outstanding. Thank you.❤

[@ShirleyKirsten]

So beautifully phrased. Thank you.

[@SeymourBernstein]

SHirley, you are such a darling. Thank you. Seymour

[@NonameMarianne]

Gorgeous! Thank you, Seymour. I'm learning the notes to this piece. Thank you for the inspiration!

[@Crossriverpianist]

Beyond magnificent....so simple yet so complex....and always taking your time as you see it...so straightforward yet so complicated...i want to curl up with this forever....

[@cbross100]

Dear Seymour- There's a tenderness in your playing of this piece that makes my eyes tear up. The combination of Bernstein and Brahms is deeply emotional. Thank you for everything you do for all of us listeners and especially for those of us who have been lucky enough to have you in our lives. I have to chuckle at your use of the word "acceptable"!!! I guess talents like yours can always envision "more", but I can't!

Hello Mr Bernstein. Thank you for playing this piece - it is my favorite. I'm working on it at the moment. I adore your playing. Everything is right for me - the color, tempo, and just how every single note sounds!

Seymour, This Intermezzo is simply exquisite; I was moved to tears. I have lost track of all the years you've been an influence in my life. You, your music, your love, seems to live in everything and everyone you touch, but especially me. I hope you are doing well. My heart ❤️

Seymour, Thank you. Oh I hoped you saw my first name, but this is Lisa Albenberg. Thank you for being the most loved person in all my years. I wonder if you’d mind if I shared this on Facebook? If so, I’d understand. Have a beautiful weekend. 😘

[@SeymourBernstein]

Lisa, I can't believe this. Why don't you spell out your first name? What a joy and surprise to hear from you after all these years. Thanks so much for your note about my playing. And yes, of course share it on Facebook. I'm not a member and don't wish to be.Lots of love to you.Seymour

You play with such a high level of emotion. Your piano sounds wonderful. It would be nice to hear it uncompressed as KZbin does to the audio.

[@johnnichols2088]

Seymour, what do you think of Gould’s interpretation of this piece? I have found it to be possibly the only recording in which he allows himself rubato. As for proof that he was capable of being tender, I think it is good!!!

[@bifeldman]

Playing for connoisseurs.

[@STEPHANM0ELLER]

One of the most unnecessary performances I've ever heard: artificial, superficial, redundant. "You play it your way, I play it Braqhms' way!"

[@andygato2452]

Horrible ❗ Seymour Bernstein does not play piano❗😡

[@SeymourBernstein]

Andy, what do you mean? Do you think I don't play softly enough? Seymour

[@pianoforks8607]

I don't really know what he's trying to say but maybe because you're not showing yourself while playing like not just apic but you playing 💜💜💜💜💜 that'll be really great Mr . Seymour 💫💫💫💫(I'm your fan )
