How he plays it is just so incredibly gentle, thoughtful, as if the notes are caressing your ears, and you never recognized auditory beauty transforming into images of incredible landscapes, loved ones, your most treasured memories.. It’s fascinating how human emotion can create such art, and control one entirely to let that emotion only trail into your hands, our hands, and with such, make the most wonderful art, or most fearing experiences.

It is said that when music brings sustained applause, it's the soul taking over from emotions.

Age is just a number, the mind and soul stay young forever. 👍🌷🌷🌷🍀

I didn't realize how beautiful this piece was until I heard it played by this master. I'm definitely going to learn it. Elgar composed it for his wife, a wonderful woman who was disowned by her family because she married a "tradesman" (!) and a Catholic (!).

At first I thought. "Oh, he slowed down the tempo compared to other recordings I usually listen to." Then 30 seconds into the music, my jaw just dropped... There's just so much breath with each note. It's like he makes the piano sound like a woodwind instrument... Brava!!!

i have compared and listen many times to the different interpretation of this music and this is the best one i like most is by Aldo Cicolini. His playing of this piece is like caressing and tenderly in love with the woman he loves. the tempo is not rushing and smooth. I can listen to this piece and mr. Cicolini playing this piece many times. I love this music very much. BRAVO.

Nobody plays it like Ciccolini. The only one who reachs the deepest meaning of this piece

This is seriously the best rendition of this piece I've heard.

amazing rendition. you should also check out tomoharu uchida's version

I will always believe that Ciccolini played this in a rather slow tempo with a reason and conviction. And such is only convincing when it is displayed by someone who walked through years of ups and downs. But the underlying charm is that true love takes time to explore and grow to the fullest. For a aging person, love is hoped to last as long as it can be. Thank you Maestro!

Thank you so much for not racing through this beautiful piece. It now seems to be played at such high speed that it's definitely NO salute to love. Expression and empathy make the artist, not speed or gymnastics. BRAVO!

To be fair, Elgar's autograph is 72.

The interpretation for a lifetime!!! Moving to tears

The way he plays it makes me smile several times. Feels like someone is giving me beautiful love and thought which all I can do is smilling and saying, "Thank you!".

A Neapolitan living in Paris playing one of England's greatest composers. A beautiful piece and magnificently played! Bravo maestro!

Fanfiction brought me here. My obsession with this piece made me stay for like, 10 play throughs

An awesome performance by this underrated aging master. So much experience and wisdom, it would be hard to match/

I'm here because I adore Mr Ciccolini's Erik Satie recordings. I have them all on very crackly vinyl : ) This piece is new to me but has the same simple sweetness that I enjoyed in his playing of Satie. Thanks for uploading.

Мое поклонение пианисту ! В мире хаоса, угрозы жизни я воспринимаю эту пьесу Элгара как защиту души от смятения и страха...

Это потрясающее исполнение! Аж до мурашек❤Благодарю!

This is the best version of Salut D'Amour including all instrumental versions I've heard.

This is a man who knew love, who experienced it, and knew how to connect the music with the truly felt emotion of it, the purity of it, the passion of it. This is a man who knew how to love and to make love, how to please and how to pleasure. This piece has always been, to me, a piece that expresses the gentleness and crescendo of the passion of love, but no one plays it as exquisitely and as vividly as it has been played here. It speaks volumes of its composer and its performer! How utterly beautiful!

@@williamdiffin28 No, I meant what I said. Many musicians can correctly play the notes and phrasing as directed by the notations, or mimic what other artists have played, but that isn't the same as having an emotional connection to a piece, or understanding the emotion of a piece, and allowing yourself as a musician to be vulnerable enough to share those emotions. I do, however, thank you for making my point for me that few understand what I said and what I meant when I said it.

Damn whoever dare to cough in such beautiful music!!

Absolutely incredible- this is one of my favorite interpretations I've heard by far. The push and the pull and the tension between each note is astounding. So much expression through these simple notes, it really is beautiful :)

I really like the tempo choice too. It’s quite a bit slower than that of the usual violin recording, though the Berlin Phil plays this at a similar tempo.

Played beautifully with such feeling. Just lovely

The way he plays, the notes he add, the different arpeggios and flicks, he's making the song his life story, and I love it so much. Thank you for sharing this with us. Absolutely beautiful. Example; 0:58 - 1:03

Thank you from the deepest of my heart, for your sentimental playing!

Its been a year since I stumbled upon this Ciccolinis interpretation of this piece and I have been watching it almost every day for the past year. This is the best interpretation I've heard of by far

No one plays it better than Aldo ...

Thank you very much, Sir. The beauty of this piece warmed my heart. Thank you for your artwork. Rest in peace.

Unbearably, other-worldly beautiful. I need this in large quantity.

Merci Aldo pour tout cet amour de la musique et l'amour du public, que vous avez nourri pendant si longtemps. On ne vous oubliera jamais...

So beautiful, so pure, imagine someone plays this masterpiece for you sincerely by heart. Grazi Aldo!

Like a precious diamond, masterfully cut. I hope that we’ll see each other again and as often as you would like to post a video:-)

This is a kind of life achievement of a maestro.. which is far beyond technique... It is so beautiful that it's even sad... each time I listen to this performance...The tempo is relatively slow but who would care... So touching video...Thanks...

🌟🌟🌟 e sentirlo suonare in privato durante una lezione è stato un DONO che porterò dentro per sempre..... eternamente grato MAESTRO! ricordo ancora quando mi ponesti di fronte il preludio delle TERZE ALTERNATE di Debussy e mi dicesti: SUONALO.... a prima vista.... devo ancora capire il motivo, ma non è mai stato così "semplice" studiarlo... questa è la grandezza che avevi come UOMO VERO! altro che oggigiorno..... 🌟🌟🌟

Absolutely beautiful ;-; so far, i think this is my favorite piano composition for salute d'amor

Una delicadeza. Gracias por compartirlo

Stupendo da sogno❤

Это великолепно!❤😊

When I was in love, I listened to beautiful music every free minute and I never stopped liking it. It was just an indescribable delight. Love has passed, I turn it on again, but I no longer feel anything, I do not experience the emotions and impressions that it made on me. I loved that man very much, but he considered me a little girl incapable of true love and physical intimacy.💔

Rest in peace..

Very well done Mr. Ciccolini, sir,. Thank you. (Holland) 🌷🌷🌷

Magnificente, mueve hasta la última fibra de mí ser. Gracias por esta interpretación.

Wow this is seriously my favourite video of this song, so much emotions just wow

Wow! I am practicing this piece with a violin, but his piano is so beautiful, breathtaking, sweet, and so warm 💖 with with many smiles, love and ありがとう！

Emozionante dolcezza.

Oh my goodness. So tender.

best thing i heard all day, so much life in this.

So beautiful and poignant, a perfect illustration of a lifetime of experience and artistry. Bravo!

Too much beauty! Each note is full of feelings.
