I went throuh a 5-month depression earlier this year, and nothing can encapsulate the bouts of depression, confusion, and raging bitterness I went through more than the 1st movement of this piece. What a powerful piece to listen to and play.

Thank Perahia! You are one of the greatest pianists.

what a passionate performance

Listening to this on Mendelssohn's birthday and I completely forgot what a beautiful piece this is that no one touches! Mendelssohn needs more stage time. And Perahia? WOW! almost 6am and I think I need a drink after listening to this. The perfect definition of brilliance from both composer and performer.

Oh, so great performance. Emotional and beautiful. Thank you. Lovely pianist.

really could feel the passion in his playing, bravo!

Wonderful! Thank you Maestro!

Yep, I have liked his playing for many years, and still do. Thank you for posting it.

The methods of Murray's father were definitely effective - BEAUTIFUL!!! Thanks for sharing

wonderful, elegant and polite performance.

he is so good in so many different styles and composers. big fan!

Moved as always by Sir Murray's gifted playing.

I am breathless!

Thank you very much for the information about Perahia,though I read his biography and almost everything I could find about him on the net. :-) What a REMARKABLE pianist :-) Thanks for the post !

What a great piece! I tend to forget Mendelssohn as a master of piano. You have Rachmaninov, Scriabin, Chopin, Liszt in mind, but hear at this great virtuoso piece. And don't forget the greatness of Perahia. You never think the piece is hard - which shows the mastership of him! (Be sure: The Fantasy is hard...) Great treasure, thanks for sharing!

I owe this fellow a huge apology. I was somehow not impressed at the Leeds , silly me. He has now introduced me to HIS music. I now understand what the judges and everyone else experienced at that competition. Every note he plays is just perfect. The Schumann Sonata, a new work for me is just out of this world as is his Schubert withe Radu LUPU.

Perahia was also the pianist playing Beethoven’s music for the soundtrack for Immortal Beloved, with George Solti conducting. It performed was in the 1990’s, which must have been after his recuperation from his hand injury. What an amazing pianist!

juste magnifique

Precioso!!!

awesome!!

Bravo!!

Thank you for this! I didn't know this piece, but I do now. The 2nd mvt. is very Beethovenian. Wish Perahia would record this with the three Scottish Capriccios. He's great. Thanks

While breezing through the San Francisco newspaper in 1973 I saw an announcement for a recital at the Legion of Honor, by a pianist I never had heard of. "He might be good" I told myself. So I went. By the time he had finished the first half, I told myself, "I will never see a greater pianist in my lifetime." And I haven't, although I would tie him with Chick Corea, who I saw 2 years later. I still feel that way, I suppose that LangLang is up there. Oh, the pianist I saw that night was Murray P.

amazing

This is exactly what one of my profs at the university told us. That is why we had a "Mendelssohn class" where we took a closer look since he is mostly called "not so interesting" because in music literature and history he was always seen as "too flat". But if you really get into it you can often see a much deeper motivation in his songs and pieces.

Mendelssohn so much underrated

Bravissimo

I wish the video didn't skip in a few places, but Perahia plays this amazing piece beautifully. Now if only the third movement weren't so hard...

*****! Krásné!

I DIDN´T KNOW THIS SONATA, IT IS NEVER PLAYED BY GREAT PIANSTS, FIRST TIME I HEAR IT.

A music critic I read long ago sneered that FM was a poor composer because he was "the Victorians' favorite composer!" I guess that automatically puts him in the critical trash can, but I am discovering his greatness via utube.

It's a great pity that Perahia doesn't authorize some of his live performances officially. They are so good! Better than studio recordings.

I've already played the first three sides, but then it's getting difficult ;-)

Not by me. He's up there with the best of the best.

Love the piece and this interpretation. A pity there some cuts in the video.

Heavenly, pristine interpretation. Another 'wow' performance from a musician, not a dazzling showman. He, M Perahia, R Lupu, G Sokolov, A Brendel, A Schiff, A Volodos are the giants, living legends of the piano, Most others, like S Hough, M Uchida, M Pletnev, M Argerich, Emmanuel Ax, D Trifonov, Y Li, Lang Lang, L O Adnes, Y Bronfman, H Grimaud, V Lisitsa, M Pollini, I Pogorelich, E Kissin, N Goerner,, G Ohlsson, F Kempff, make up the elite

Indeed, some music historians may argue that by the time he was sixteen Mendelssohn had accomplished more than Mozart by the time he was respectively sixteen, not by the sheer amount of compositions, however, but by the degree of musical innovation in them.

We don't stop at Mendelssohn or even Beethoven.

@acbulgin2 I never mentioned interpretations, because I want to hear all interpretations, no matter how much they deviate from the 'traditional' unsupported thinking about the 'style' of the composer, no matter what the score indicates, and no matter how much they grate upon small-minded listeners.

@acbulgin2 Fascinating stuff, isn't it? Are you familiar with the historical development and acceptance of intervals? I'm convinced that so many more people would enjoy serious music if they only were taught the derivations of overtones and intervals from Nature. Simple arithmetic, but it's so pure and direct for explaining our natural affinity for music, from Byrd and JSB to LvB and Brahms, Ravel and even Schoenberg (but Berg then retained the lyrical appeal offered by the harmonic series)

Excellent, as almost everyone is saying. BUT -- besides that I agree with Ann Singer about the occasional rushing, the first portion of the last movement (i.e. up to the 'double bar') isn't up to his usual standard -- including a couple of places where the left hand briefly gives up, a misreading of the score or maybe memory lapse at 7:13 (clearly not due to yet another tech glitch), and a probable memory lapse at 7:33 (can't rule out tech glitch here but unlikely to be that) -- all unlike his usual self. He makes up for it with a brilliant finishing half of the movement. I did hear him play this 'live,' and it was much better.

@acbulgin2 That's a good critique of what I blurted out (within these character constraints), and you must know a good critique is exceedingly rare in KZread comments.. I'm emotionally involved in this issue! The idea that someone can't look at a score and perform a work in a new manner, with a new approach, -- with our modern worldview, just gripes me. How do we know what the primitively-minded composer wanted? What did he SEE into the future of music?, were we there?

William Sterndale Bennett versucht den Meister in Worte zu fassen: "Ich kann nicht beschreiben, was ich meine, doch wenn Mendelssohn einen Raum betrat, hielt jeder inne und alles erschien in einem anderen Licht." Er beobachtete, wie selbst Robert Schumann Mendelssohn gegenüber unbewusst eine Haltung stiller Ehrbietung einnahm."

Why doesn't this imaginative "Sonata" feature regularly in recital programmes by virtuosi pianists? Is it too demanding of subtle insight? Scottish is a misnomer, merely the place of conception. It served as an inspiration to the later Russian keyboard composers, I guess.

@sebastientraglia1351

+Colin Lang It's certainly not too demanding in terms of technique. There is way more difficult pieces to master for that aspect out there. It is a very wonderful piece, inspired by Schubert's Wanderer Fantasy. It deserves the same attention of the latter, but I think it's just that Mendelssohn piano pieces in general, except for his "Songs without words", are quite ignored for no good reason. I much prefer his compositions for piano then those by Brahms, even though they were both quite classical.

@lisztme6001

7 жыл бұрын

An interesting question you raise, Colin and Sebastien. There is no simple answer. One aspect (raised many years ago by Ernest Hutcheson) is that there's a chasm between Mendelssohn's best work and 'the rest.' This unevenness -- divine inspiration on one hand, flashy but facile and sometimes shallow on the other -- is sometimes found BETWEEN works, but sometimes even within ONE work. This requires performers to be selective, and over the years they have become TOO selective. Another aspect is that Mendelssohn hasn't always had champions to promote his piano work. I read somewhere that his First Piano Concerto was underplayed for years, until a star of the stature of Rudolf Serkin revived it, and now it is a staple of the repertoire. There are probably other aspects as well.

@mikhail2406able

7 жыл бұрын

My answer to that is many pianists and even competitions seemingly support this notion of finding validation in something they can tangibly compare. Everyone wants to play the warhorse compositions because they are performed by everyone... it is allegedly what everyone wants to hear because it is technically flashy and it can be easily pinned on a gauge to other pianists who have played them to satisfy this "who played it better" kind of mentality. Not saying that this is entirely the case, and i certainly do not believe for a minuet that all audiences what to hear is Liszt La campanella and prokofiev 7th sonata... but it does come across potently that way. What i miss is the unique voice that "Je ne sais qua" pianists should bring to a composition regardless of it's composition. Audiences should be drawn to a realm of discovery be it interpretation of an overly performed work, work of a lesser known composer or hardly performed composition. Perahia is a case in point. Pianists like this causes audience members to change their perspective of a composer or a composition in a positive light. Their fire leaves one wanting to search for the music and learn it.. want to hear more... make more discoveries. That is the type of pianist I in turn want to be.

I don't think people are 'sad' when they under-rate Mendelssohn, merely deaf. Odd thing is that his music tends to disturb the workings of my brain, in the same way that the manic Schumann does. Unlike Mozart and Schubert and Rachmaninov .

I would say that it's not top Mendelssohn, but not boring if well played. The opening movement makes clear reference to the Hammerklavier right from the outset, and that's why Mendelssohn gave it that opus no. though he had actually written the piece earlier than the opus no. would suggest. The movements after the first one are pure Mendelssohn, nothing to do with the Hammerklavier Sonata.
