Very well played. And thanks for the close-up of the hands much appreciated as a learner. Recommended by @PianoRoadmap

Tremendo!!!!!!! En mi próxima vida quiero tocar así. Felicidades por poder disfrutar en Primera persona de ese regalo

😮 im just a dude learning about sonatas because they have always attracted my attention. That was a roller coaster of emotion. They it started and ended with beauty and relief as expected. Cool. Onto the journey then. ❤

Haydn's piano sonatas have hidden depths. His slow movements are especially profound, as here. Lovely playing.

It's such a pleasure to hear such fine musicians playing the music of the great master Widor. It's a travesty that his other compositions are so largely ignored by performers today.

Wonderful to hear the guts of the flute spilling all over the floor an then rising to holy heights....thanks musicians and the composer...HOFMEYER ECHOES

Wonderful! Thank you 😍😍😍

Should be far more views! Ben is great, but so is the orchestra - they have a beautiful sound, almost sweeping at times.

Very nice. Where is this particular piano?

I'm not passionate about anything in life as much as this person is about this piece. Resisted coughing for the whole performance thinking I'd ruin it.

Wow Ben. So excited to have found this! As a bit of a Schumann nut I've been on a bit of a search for the ideal Kreisleriana and after having listened to about 20 or so recordings on UA-cam I can honestly that you are in my favourite three (along with Micheal Demarey and Vlado Perlemuter)

👏👏👏👏👏👏

Just brilliant - both performer and composer!! ❤❤

That was superb. They say a musician’s instrument should be an extension of their heart, and Ben clearly shows that here

Speechless

I was in a sublime state of being while listening to this and then an ad blasted in the middle of the second movement. Whyyy?? Please, don't do this.

1:15 perfect

For my feelings, too much "delicatezza". But it's ok, we live in a free world.

I never understand why Haydn seems to be so under appreciated .....he's as vital as Mozart or dare I say he's student Beethoven....

Bravissimo, interpretazione impeccabile

You can turn off the sound and you still understand Joseph Haydn's humor.

Bravo!!!

This is brilliant! Where can I get a hold of the sheet music?

볼살 튕기는 실력도 일품.

Bellísima interpretación. Y Haydn un genio tapado por Mozart y Beethoven. Su música es para disfrutar. Un genio alegre.

While as a listener I do appreciate the thick and pounding sonorities of romantic music (i.e. Liszt et al.), it takes a special touch (every listener envisions his ideal sound for the composers he likes) and a certain kind of phrasing and articulation (I imagine use of the pedal as well) on the piano for Baroque and Classical period music. Mr. Schoeman has this touch and he brings out the crystalline character of composers like Bach and Haydn and here, Scarlatti. The greatness of any composition is neither in the number of notes or length of the composition, but rather in arrangement of the units of melody, harmony and rhythm and the performer here masterfully brings out the pathos in this exquisite little diamond by Scarlatti.

What a sparkling performance as if the performer's hands had been dipped in champagne! Every phrase, from the exuberant major-key melodies to the "storm-and-stress" bursts in the minor and the long singing middle-movement lines - love those very subtle staccato-like touches - and the last bubbly movement. What comes across is a narrative woven together by shaping the individual musical phrases from within (dynamically and through a coloratura articulation) rather than just from one phrase to the next through contrast. The result: musical sculpture where the notes burst forth like strings of glistening jewels. Mr. Schoeman makes himself the channel for Haydn who comes through in unfiltered (i.e. by any distracting musical or or performance gestures) purity.

A transcendental and gold standard benchmark performance. Mr. Schoeman does not play Bach here: he becomes BWV 911.

wonderful play👍👍👍👍

Fantastic^^♡♡♡ It has so clear sound and l like the style changing while continuing. Thank you for uploading^^~

'n Prag-vertolking! Dankie, Ben!

I am inspired. Thank you!

Beautifully executed. Meticulous, mindful articulation. He is not afraid to be gentle at times or step back and let the piece shine. A delight.

❤️

“The principal task of a conductor is not to put himself in evidence but to disappear behind his functions as much as possible. We are pilots, not servants.” -- Franz Liszt

Fine playing!

An engaging composition by Hendrik Hofmeyer played with understanding and sensitivity by both Ben Schoeman and Dawid Venter. Carries one into sublime dimensions. Thanks for sharing

Clean, precise, and lovely! Great job! I also love the Haydn sonata that you played!

Fantastic!!!
