Вставка

- phil@philrowlands.com Some sessions I did just before Christmas with the lovely Fanny Clamagirand and pianist Vanya Cohen. This is a full CD of Saint-Saëns, including some nice rarities. It is released on Naxos
How is it possible. How is it possible to find such joy in a piece of music that is so ostensibly sad?
I could cry everytime I listen to this piece!
this song radiates clair de lune vibes
Is it really so sad? The saddest here is the divine beauty one would ever long for.
If you really like these, saint seans carnival of animals and debussy’s most famous pieces are something else youd like
It’s a song about beautiful swans floating on a pond. I don’t find it sad at all. But I do agree it’s beautiful.
The touch of the pianist is incredible, she has such a round and delicate sound
Well i like the violin too, very Fragile without being weak. Not easy
She made it sound like a harp most of the time!
@@carlosroberto366 like a harp
I'm not an expert, but your interpretation gave me the good kind of chills.
Don't worry I'm also not an expert in the chill area but I can still appreciate it.
@@DaviSilva-oc7ivthat’s absolutely hilarious
Oh wow, this just touched me right in the core. My grandfather used to play this on his violin. That’s almost 50 years ago and I couldn’t remember the name of the piece. Now it’s back, thank you so much!!
he found his way back to you
this is so pure, in my whole family I'm the only one who plays an instrument :( but at least there aren't any arguments about who's going to play on the next wedding!
Moja wnuczka Ulka przed chwilą zagrała mi ten piękny utwór - jestem wprost wzruszona.
It’s crazy how well music can make you feel, as if a person were talking to you but in a language you understand. Passion-able music
Now THAT is how you play The Swan! Very Good.
There are many versions of this absolutely beautiful piece of music but to me this one outperforms anything I've ever heard. To those of us who can appreciate the amount of actual feeling that anyone could ever put into playing music then you can't help to realise the tremendous amount of feeling that has been put into this by these two perfect players. No wonder, when hearing anything like this, it makes your skin go all goose-bumpy and your eyes fill with tears. Absolutely perfect and beautiful. To play like this you must possess something that no amount of wealth could ever buy. Saint Saens wrote this lovely piece and here it was played to infinite perfection. Thank you.
I agree. This was the best version I've heard. it has me bawling. Every note seems to come from their soul.
I could not agree more!
Nah yo yo ma
hEiFeTz PlaYs iT bEtTeR!! How dare you not like everything played at 25x speed
john lewis did you know that Saint Saens made the Animal Carneval as a joke for his students and then forbode the performance of the pieces til after his dead . Strange
THIS IS MAYBE THE BEST VERSION OF THIS MAGNIFICENT PIECE I HAVE EVER HEARD> THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What u think of this one ? ua-cam.com/video/9aLyyhi_RvU/v-deo.html
This is the best version i have found!
I always come back to this. I see 4 talented person, Saint-Saëns, the violinist, the pianist and the sound engineer for this beautiful mic placement and sound rendition. Wonderful.
Beautiful performance. 00:07 pianist smile it's so sweet
I wondered for a while what it is about this performance that makes it stand out.
I've come to the conclusion that it is the very obvious pleasure which the musicians get from simply playing it to the best of their abilty, without any pressure to achieve any musical standard except their own. It really is an exceptional rendition of this piece.
So far the best version . Hauntingly beautiful.
This is exactly how I love hearing my favorite piece of music. Thank you. I wish I had it on a CD so I could put it on repeat forever... The musicians understood the feelings of the composer completely. It is so rare. Thank you for sharing this wonderful gift.
such control....
beautiful

Oh my, young ladies ! I’ve heard this played by a dozen different artists...including Yo Yo Ma on the cello. It’s never sounded more beautiful... you are both so talented. Thank you for the countless hours you worked to produce this. Bravo!
Well, try Mischa Maisky.
Thanks i will start playing music in my violin and piano amazing brilliant violinist and pianist.
This piece needs to be played tenderly.And so this is exactly how Miss Rowlands plays it.Bravo!and the pianist too!
Saint-Saens’ The Swan is so beautiful!!
Thank you for playing this, indeed. I appreciate this very much. for Senior listener.
This is my favourite. My youngest son used to play the violin. He is good but he gave it up to play other instruments. My other son plays piano and church organ. He is now a church organist. It was my dream for both of my sons to play this piece of music together but my dream will remain a dream unless my youngest, pick up his violin again. I can't see that happening. Oh well I can continue dreaming. These two young ladies parents are lucky.
With God, all things are possible.
Learn to play the violin its never too late.
Brilliant. I was married to this music 30 years ago and it remains the most gorgeous piece of music I've ever known.
lla dulzura personificada en su máxima expresión....que dúo fabulosos...felicitaciones..las amo
nice Fanny Clamagirand and Vanya Cohen, very beautiful his musical performance
This is why I have faith in young people!

Just beautiful ! It is simply the best performance I have heard of this wonderful composition. It was just perfect. Thank you.

Beautifully played. Is there anybody that doesnt cry with emotion when listening to this Saint Saens piece?
This music was filled with joy and beauty
Serene and lovely...
Simplesmente lindo. They play with their hearts. This is the most beautiful classic music that I've had heard.
the dynamics here are so amazing. I love love love this rendition.

Beautiful: the playing and the players.
One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written..
Heavenly! My soul thrilled to this, my favourite piece; If only I could play my violin as exquisitely
This is the absolute best performance of this magnificent composition ever, bar none...
I just love this song!!!!
I loved this since I was a child, watching my auntie playing the piano. When the time comes for me to leave, I want to start my new journey with this music. It soothes my soul, my whole being.
Very great!
One of the most lush and beautiful interpretations I've ever heard!
La mejor interpretación que he escuchado en mi vida de esta obra. Sencillamente excelsa. Gracias.
Hermosa interpretación. Directo para el alma. Relajante. Gracias.
My wishlist: I wish I could play as gracefully as Fanny, with Vanya!!
Bravo !!!!!
the best of all version, i love it.
This version is so indescribably elegant, pure and sublimated. Time elapse, breaths, even thoughts are needless. I never heard a second version which is comparable to this. Thank you Fanny and Vanya! Absolutely beautiful!
bellissima musica esuperba interpretazione
very good. wonderful. beautiful.
BRAVO FANNY !! BRAVO SANYA !!
Браво !!!
Very nice music, expression and interpretation, you created a very calm atnosphere. With my words i can't express what you have created with music.
So gentle and caressing. The pianist and violinist brought out such exquisite beauty of this well known piece. I think this is the best version and I have listened to them play so many times already! But the enjoyment of listening to this very sound never fades.
Maravilhoso, já escutei essa performance do Cisne dezenas de vezes, superior a muito músico bom, vocês estão de parabéns, espero um dia ver meu filho tocando essa música maravilhosa de Saint-Saens , toca fundo em meu coração. Bravo! Abraço do Brasil!
MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE VIOLIN PIECE. THANK YOU.
This is so beautiful! It was such a provilege to be present at your masterclass, Fanny!
Que maravilha.
Absolutely beautiful performance! I have been learning how to play the violin for a few years now and today I am attempting to learn this piece. The amount of power ,precision and emotion that the performer conveys in the playing is phenomenal.
I think I’m in love.
Me too.
Heart full and Painful sound.
Long tone is wonderfully beautiful.
I'm very impressed.
I have heard already six times and I can't stop!!! :)
優雅な白鳥が湖面を泳ぐ風景が目に浮かぶ。サンサーンスという偉大な作曲家がイメージした、そのままの様子を素直に再現し、繊細で１つも、「くせ」がない。ピアノ伴奏も同様に、最後まで細やかで、白鳥が泳ぐ際に細かく飛び散る水の「しぶき」がピチャピチャと湖面から聞こえてくるようだ。２人の意気がぴったりと合った最高の演奏だと思います。
Merci c'est beau 😍 🌹🌹🌹🌹 👏
great recording quality, as that's usually the problem with many UA-cam vids. it can reduce a fine musician to one of lesser skill.
fantastic playing as well.
Espressivo..First time my daughter played this piece, I fell in love with this beautiful and poignant haunting piece of music...One of the best renditions ever I've listened to..
Isso é surreal de lindo
É mesmo, eu realmente queria aprender a parte do violino é muito bonito
Beautiful - my favourite performance for violin and piano of this piece.
Excellent piece. Brilliant performance. 👌👌
Played with feeling and sensitivity, I love it.
Absolutely beautiful music AND ladies.
My favorite violin/piano cover
The best. This might as well be nectar from the gods. Ladies: thank you for having such talent and sharing it. 🌹💌🌹
I love this piece of music, I listen as I sleep with sweet beauty of swan. I love your passion into music .. thanks Fanny and Vanya.
This absolutely beautiful piece of music is played in a corresponding beautiful manner by these two very professional performers. They do justice to this angelic composition.
Interesting way of holding the bow!
+Omega9914 Omg, I didn't even notice! :D
It's a relatively common bowhold when playing baroque when a baroque bow is not available. Reduces the weight of the bow on the strings, allowing for a softer and lighter tone common in baroque music - and what the violinist here wanted to achieve.
F. D. Yes, but its odd that she uses it in a romantic piece (not sure actually, but definetly not baroque)
Maybe it's just her way of using it. Sounds good, so her technic his allowed
@@premierepasta1562 her pinky is just locked out instead of rounded, it's how i play and my teacher fusses at me all the time for it lol
This is the most incredibly beautiful playing I've heard.
Wow.
Just wow. Amazing violinist and pianist.
I got chills up my spine! It is so beautiful !
Wunderbar gespielt.
I just love this version! Thank You!
Awesome 😢😢😢🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Absolutely beautiful performance by two talented pretty young ladies
absolute BEAUTY! mike McDonald
very very gentle! from the first touch of the pianist on the keyboard to your bowing ....... in such a careful and restrained manner giving the song a melancholy sense in the tranquility
Merci pour ce beau moment et pour votre belle interprétation !
superb ! bravo !
from Iran
That intonation caresses my ears. Ah! Absolutely beautifully played.
You are absolutely talented! You played beautifully from your soul!
Well played violin with good piano accompanyment
Trés magnifique! Merci
Sublime....
The sound of Miss Clamagirand and her Gofriller violin are heartbreaking.
This is done extremely expressively. Very beautiful.
What a beautiful performance... Bravo!
Wow. Amazing interpretation. Lots of colours and shades of colours.
I love the tone she produced, very beautiful.
Such beautiful playing. Very intimate and musical.
This song is beautiful on bass, cello, violin, heck, it's beautiful on any instrument.
Wonderfull. Thank you. Blessings
