Frédéric Chopin: Sonata No. 3 b-minor, Op. 58
00:00 Allegro maestoso
14:43 Scherzo: molto vivace
18:00 Largo
28:48 Presto, ma non tanto
Seit 50 Jahren beschäftigt mich diese Sonate. Ich habe nie eine Interpretation von dieser Kraft und und Wärme gehört. Musikalisch stimmt einfach alles. Der langsame Satz, diese Sehnsucht nach Arkadien, vorgetragen ohne jede Sentimentalität. Ich wünschte, Chopin hätte das hören dürfen. Bin ziemlich stolz darauf, dass Sie sich Deutschland als Wahlheimat ausgesucht haben. Viel Glück, ich hoffe Sie können Sich bei uns frei entfalten. Aber Ihnen liegt ohnehin die Welt zu Füßen.
Wunderschön zu hören und zu sehen, ganz besonders das Largo!
Every time I see and listen to this beautiful woman, I get the feeling that she is not playing that song with her fingers, she is simply singing with her wonderful soul. I would listen to her forever!
Yes ... In my view, much of Chopin is operatic though to my knowledge none has been used in opera. For example I would love to hear an opera star sing the drama of his Prelude No. 21. Olga, your performance here is wonderful. Singing piano. Bravo!! 🎉
I heard many famous pianists play this difficult and complex sonata and weren't fully satisfied by any of them and then came Olga Schep's fabulous performance which had the right Chopin feel, the right accenting, the right tone weight, the right phrasing and dynamics, the right drive, etc. Where did she get her instinctive feel for Chopin? I hope she concertizes in Los Angeles someday. This is a veritable artist.
U need to see Kate Liu’s interpretation on this. She’s great. Especially the Presto non Tanto movement one though.
Blechacz gra to najlepiej
The endurance needed for this piece is insane..
Какая прекрасная девушка и внешне и внутренне. Как она чувствует музыку, какое благородство внутри её души....Просто радует и восхищает!
Impressive. Since Emil Gilels that I had not found a great pianist who could move me. Now I have found Olga Scheps. My life is blessed.
Это больше чем блестящее исполнение. Это редкий сплав красоты,таланта и живой гармонии. Thank you very much!
We are watching what should be heard and we are hearing what should be watched-beauty and talent. In this recital, we have come face to face with greatness!!! How extraordinary!!!
This girl must have first played the piano in her crib! Her technique and interpretations are always matchless. I am so glad I am alive to hear her play.
Both parents are piano teachers so, yeah, she probably did play in her crib!
Matchless indeed!
Is she a girl Ray... she's in her late 20's here. I fully agree with your other comments, fully.
Fantastic, technical and emotional
Thanks for sharing
Es gibt ein hervorragendes Video hier auf UA-cam, wo Olga Scheps Chopin Op. 58 unterrichtet. Für mich ist die 3. Sonate eines der schwierigsten Werke der gesamten Klavier-Literatur! Ich habe sie 1997 im Konzert zum Abschluss des Studiums gespielt und bis heute finde ich sie fast unspielbar. Ich bin auch nicht so begabt wie Olga Scheps. Aber sie lehrt in diesem Stück ( wenn ich sie richtig verstehe) Demut! Demut ist das allerwichtigste in dieser Komposition. Die h-moll-Sonate hat für mich einen extrem introvertierten Charater und wirkt auf mich sehr symphonisch- bzw. orchestral. Auch wenn Chopin nicht gerade klug für Orchester schrieb, verglichen mit seinen Zeitgenossen, was unerheblich ist. Sie hat eine völlig andere, ihr innen wohnende Schönheit als die b-moll-Sonate, die ich eher als "extrovertiert" empfinde ( vllt mit Ausnahme des 4. Satzes). Olga Scheps wirkt auf mich wie eine Musikerin und Persönlichkeit, die zwar sehr genau weiß was sie will. Aber sie wirkt zu keinem Zeitpunkt eitel, sondern im Gegenteil demütig, bescheiden und als großartige Dienerin der Kunst! Ich finde es super, daß sie sich eben nicht nur und ausschließlich mit der "klassischen" Musik beschäftigt. Sie transportiert hier das Wesen von Op. 58, was in meinen Augen schon schwer genug ist und macht diese geile Komposition bis in die tiefsten Poren der Seele transparent! Danke für diesen tollen Mitschnitt und Hut ab vor dieser großartigen Musikerin!
Beautiful! Thank you for offering online
I had the honour of getting to know this wonderful pianist...her sensitivity is so special,I had the priviledge of carrying her to and from rehearsals for Rachmaninov 2nd Piano Concerto rehearsals and performances....I showed her the sights of Johannesburg!! And that person in also in her interpretations of her music...
Cherish the time with her. God only bestows such gifts on the very few. And we are blessed to enjoy such classical renditions.
HOLY ****!!! That was fabulous!!! Lyrical, powerful, dexterous, facile, emotional, everything an artist can strive for and achieve was there. Such technique and love for her craft. There is nothing hidden in her performance. It's all right there, out in the open for all to see and hear. A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.
She plays with the best kind of feelings and all beauty.
Olga really makes this piece come to life, with all the passion Chopin put into it. I have heard many other performers play this work, but none compares to this very excellent performance!
This is Chopin's finest hour. Two thumbs up ! What a splendid performance.
my new favourite Chopin piece; artistically played with sentiment....a range of colours and textures, a tender air intermixed with stoic moments.... golden
The last movement is so beautifully powerful. She does a fantastic job with the entire sonata. I never tire of listening 💗
why do modern artists not create beauty like this ? A serious question.
Chopin was an extremely exceptional musician. In all the history of known music, there are few composers that compare to the raw, emotionally complex beauty that he was able to render. This is true for all eras of known music, not just today, but in his own time as well.
Scheps understands the fourth movment better than any other pianist I've heard. She plays it at the tempo that the composer wrote it, inserts rubato where it belongs, and knows that the cascading right hand is NOT always the melody. Best I've heard of at least 300 recordings and live performances.
I totally agree and I will go a step further. I think her rhythm, overall, is phenomenal. She makes it all fit in a superb fashion for the listener. There is few panists that even come close to her overall control and beauty of interpretation!
Passion, dedication & superb musicality ~ thank you Olga.
Most exquisite, breath-taking, and powerfulperformance by Olga. I can’t get enough of her playing. I am totally mesmerized. Thanks for posting this video. Beautiful recording too. Thank you Olga for sharing us your most divine gift. 😍🙏
I'm just intoxicated with her inspirational and specutacular performance from Japan
From
Tokyo of the Land of the Rising Sun 🇯🇵
Common, everyone give that girl the standing ovation she deserves! superhuman talent ART of the highest possible order in a World of chaos
YES !!!
Spectacular performance, Ms. Scheps.
Hours are measured in moments with her musical interpretations and performances. Simply wonderful!
@Bawbs Lelepesa Hahahaha!
I love listening to Frederich Chopin works played by beautiful OLGA SCHEPS the Rusian pianist...
to be able to play this is surreal
to have been able to fucking write and compose this boggles the mind
excellent piece, fantastic performance
Superb performance, she's a brilliant pianist who feels the music & not just the technical aspect
Brilliante pianiste qui vit ses émotions et la transmet à travers en jouant le piano
Olga performs brilliantly, flawless and with the exact degree of passion. I cant´t help to notice her sure and perfecto digitation
She is like Rubinstein, in other words, the best kind of pianist!
Hello beauty, can i buy you a Cup Of Starbuck Coffee from America 🇺🇸💖🤓🌼🌼🌼
wow-a towering musical and technical achievement and she gave all ,as was witnessed in her expression after the final chord- in the final movement
What a happy discovery! A great young pianist. Ms Scheps, long may you play and give a joy and solace with the wonderful music you bring us. ברכות, blessings.
I love Olga Scheps. genius
This brought me to tears, the third movement is outstanding. Her expression is perfect.
The Passionate playing of Olga Scheps, beautifully interpreted Chopin, unmatched by any other.
Her external beauty is nothing compared to the beauty of her soul.
YES, a divine heart !
Olga, your interpretation of this Chopin sonata is beautiful. It shows your awesome musicality and dynamics. Amazing!!!
Olga Scheps. I heard a lot of your performance, but this is the best.
Might be my favorite interpretation for this sonata.
Please see Emil Gilels interpretation too
Incredible interpretation and technique. A magical performance.
La Interpretación más cercana a la perfección.
Actually I can "hear" her movements. All the moves that she makes translate into music. There's no BS at all in this, just real expression while she remains totally connected to herself, the music and the keyboard itself. Wonderful.
Divina Olga
Olga tu es magnifique à tous les points de vue, sans exception.
Incredible fluidity & beauty
It's always refreshing to listen too such beautiful emotion so finely expressed, an very much enjoyed, thank you Olga for sharing such talent ...Peace
I had to comment. But not on the mastery and utter emotion that this young lady just displayed. But on the response of those present...or lack thereof. I would have jumped out of my seat, perhaps skin, after sitting in a performance like that. WHERE was the gratitude for that masterpiece of a performance??? Is it me? A different culture? To this young lady......bravo!! BRAVO!!!!
Wonderful in every way!
Grande senso architettonico della sonata, uno scherzo tra i più spettacolari che io abbia mai sentito! Brava!
Amazing performance - great display of energy and emotion at end.
28:48 Unbelievable
Brillante pianista y Chopin ,,música genial ,,,
Beautiful & resonant sound of music.
Like the Chopin Polonaise-Fantasy this work (even though it is not morbid like 2nd Sonata and is in a sunny BMajor )is full of morphisms, unstable progressions and puzzling transitionsEverything this woman essays is like a new work . This is not the b minor we all thin we know and love . It is remarkable for textural and color sensitivity (that chromatic scale in the bass has never been more ironic, scary and barely tere as is the glorious 2nd theme now makes more sense to me in its context than ever before. Like cortot she has shown us what we did not feel before. Perahia and Uchida may be my benchmarch in this Sonata . One can never forget that Chopin thought of himself as a classicist -though in the ways he went past and outside romantic era conventions he heralds Scriabin and the indefinable and indefiteniteness, bizarre , illogic ,maddening impulses of the 20th century .Pires too is unforgettable in this but totally different ideas .Hofmann recorded this 1st movement but this is the performance one will never forget !
Beautifully played, excellent sound and production. The Largo brought a tear to my eye! That was so 'in the moment' - I felt every note.
una belleza,gracias
Piękno muzyki Fryderyka Chopina to fenomen graniczący z cudem ❤️
I'm in love
Классно! Особенно последняя часть - изумительно! Спасибо Ольге!
I have just come across this and am not familiar with the pianist. I am always trying to find recordings of this sonata, looking for *the* definitive one. I may just have found it! It's idiosyncratic, highly personal, exquisitely articulated, very thoroughly worked-out, and flawlessly executed. A reading of very great integrity. I feel I am going to have to listen many times to get to the bottom of it and hear all that Scheps has to say, along with perhaps some new insights on what Chopin had to say. Truly magnificent!
No kidding. I just put Olga Scheps on my list of great pianists!
@Marquis De Sade I've been following her for a year. Listen to her play Sate. You'll like the interpretation I am sure.
I have only heard her for the first time today, and have been listening to many of her interpretations. I have to admit I've been extremely curious at first because of her technique and her obvious musical dispositions. She's definitely different, more concerned about the music than the technique. Obviously everything is a question of taste in the end, or almost... Because some things are actually not a question of taste. Chopin himself wrote a letter to one of his friend (that letter has been found and preserved) stating at some point that the thing he despised most in his students was the abusive use of Rubato. I would go as far as to say that she is using quite a bit too much in her interpretation of this Sonata. She is also quite often putting accent on notes that are not meant to be accented that much. Initially, I was intrigued and wondering if I liked it better that other more "standard" versions. I did come to the conclusion, in the end, that what I find to be "definitive" in terms of interpretations is Both Danilov's and Hamelin's ones. Don't get me wrong, there is something utterly different with the way Olga Scheps plays the piano and I am not sure I'd want her to change anything about her way to play just because it is really, really well felt music. She has the talent, she has the technique, she can feel the spirit of what she's playing, no doubt. But being honest, I don't think she'd qualify at the Chopin competition because of what I just said, because in the end, it doesn't feel true to what Chopin himself wrote on paper. I believe composers always intend for musicians to put part of themselves in any interpretation, but it is a very defining criteria to be able to actually play what was intended also. If you look at the parts while you listen, do you feel that this is true to the score? :) food for thought...! In the meantime, enjoy!!
Madre mía, adoro a esta mujer
Amazing!
Не могу отлипнуть. Как сладко играет!
This is a new recording for me. It's so refreshing to hear the repeat of the exposition taken in the first movement since it is so often omitted. I like that this playing is so straightforward and not fussy, yet still incredibly musical.
Me encanta!!!! Bella su manera de tocar!!!!
Great, great, great.........wonderful
Wow! such beauty
Исполнение бесподобное звучание фортепиано Стенвей прекрасное техника игры нет слов бесподобно!! Браво пианистке!!!
цисполнение неземное
Oh gosh! The largo is just gorgeous! It'll inspire me to try and learn to play at least that part - even if poorly.
Sehr sehr schön! ❤ mein Herz gehört Ihnen. 🎻🎹😇🙏
Olga ....this music is magical under your fingers and from all your body ♥️🕊🌿
Extrema delicadesa para tocar, maraviliosa interptretação
Amazing
Bravo !!!
好美的演奏，令人沉醉!
Love this sonata & ur rendition of it. Very well played / done. It was 1 of my favorites when I was in university in the1960-70's in the U.S. Kind of dates my age doesn't it??Anyway thx you & congrats!!😀😀👍👍
Ima keep it a stack and say that she killed this joint, I love Chopin and have heard this composition played many times and I loved her playing.
Une interprétation vaillante, aboutie avec une intensité rare, d'un Chopin héroïque et passionné, loin des clichés mondains ! Servi par une interprète aussi belle que talentueuse...
Incredible
un'interpretazione splendida, autentica, un tocco bellissimo e chiarissimo
concordo pienamente e aggiungo che mai prima ho ascoltato questa sonata riuscendo a sentire distintamente e luminosamente ogni singola nota senza la minima "sbavatura". Sembra quasi non adoperi mai il pedale. La sola nota stonata è il pubblico indubbiamente numeroso ma di capelli quasi esclusivamente bianchi.
All I can say is WOW!!!
Fantastic recording
Wunderschön zu hören + wunderschön zu sehen !! Dicker Kuss + neidlose Glückwünsche für Deine Karriere, Olga !!
She has a great spirit
I'm deeply impressed, what a talent, it is a privilege to watch her playing. I guess romanticism is very well performed by Olga Scheps.
Beautiful maestra olga
Волшебница.
Bravo !! Fatinssimo !!🙉🙉🙉😍😍🎹🎼🎬🎬👍👍👍
Последняя часть сонаты потрясно сыграна! Умница!
The Best !
great.
Bravo i bravo Olga! Me gusta mucho tu interpretacion
Brava. Molto brava!
pure poetry!!
Superbe !
Olga, herzlichen Dank fuer Ihre hervorragende Einspielung dieser Sonate. Ich hoffe sehr, Ihnen in SãoPaulo / Brasilien applaudieren zu duerfen.
such an absolute dream...
yes of course she is a wonderful pianist she tours the world but personally I am in awe of her great beauty!
Qué bien tocas, Olga!! Ojalá pueda asistir a algún recital tuyo!
I fell in love with her at first sight and sound. Beautiful. Instant favorite! If destiny served me well I'd be playing beside her.
Brilliant, beautiful, magnificent ( otherwise I'm not moved ).
Olga, you do understand Frédéric Chopin almost as good as George Sand. Marvelous!!
