- To mark the great composer’s birthday, we are delighted to share a new four-part video series exploring the life of Franz Schubert, presented by Graham Johnson (commissioned by John Gilhooly).
Having engaged with Schubert’s music for over five decades as an internationally celebrated performer, scholar and author, Johnson offers unique insights into Schubert’s story, building a vivid and detailed picture of this incomparable composer.
In the first part of the series, Graham Johnson explores Franz Schubert’s early life in Vienna.
Focusing here on the formative influences on Schubert’s musical development, Johnson delves into Schubert’s home life, the first concerts he experienced and his school years.
Thank you for your inspiring teaching! Thank you for this video being shared online. It is a gem for me!
Regards,
James Long
I'm very much looking forward to hearing these insights over 4 parts from the eminent Mr Graham Johnson. As I grow older, Schubert means more and more to me.
Me too! No other composer hits closer to the heart, soul and spirit than Herr Schubert!
These are some of the the most riveting videos on youtube. THANK YOU!
The two Graham Johnson Schubert videos I have seen to date are beyond compare in offering intellectual, cultural, historical, and yes, emotional content. They incorporate first-rate performances of Schubert lieder, along with the scores. Bravo!
Thank you so much for sharing these presentations. Please don’t ever delete them!
thank you Graham Johnson...thank you Schubert
I have listened to all four of these wonderful talks/lectures. They are deeply illuminating, moving and scholarly. Thank you so much Graham Johnson for giving us all the benefit of a lifetime’s study.
True service to mankind. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Graham Johnson is also amongst the very best accompaniments for Schubert's music, easily rivaling Moore.
A very fine presentation. Beautiful.
Thank you so much for this wonderful presentation.
When your advertisement interrupts my video, it makes me hate your product!
It was absolutely enjoyable so I was delighted.Thank you
1:26:22 for just one second is the only bit I hear as a link to the Beethoven...(but then I don't have much of an ear for music - despite being taught a bit by a Beethoven-lineage teacher - through Nikolaev, Lechitizky ets)
Agree. It’s only a rhythmic similarity - nothing else of the harmonic progression, phrasal structure, etc.
the gretchen song is also used (more or less and to stounding effect) in the great a minor quartet mvmnt 1 of 1824 or so
Could there possibly ever be a better pairing of a wonderful musician scholar and a supreme composer? I doubt not.
I question my choice of words here - it would be best to have said, "I think not."
@@christophercurdo4384. yes.
Or “I doubt so ”.
Insightful and moving; thank you
D23 bespeaks the ascent of Romanticism in music
1:29:50 - the deer reminds one of the Rimbaud poem (written at 15 or so) about a deer
7:48…..”these liberals and degenerates…”
How is the term ‘liberals ‘ used here?
Political liberals?
Enemies of the monarchy.
@@fredrickroll06ah…thank you.
Wie schön, dass ich Sie heute entdeckt habe. Vielen Dank für diese kenntnisreichen und einfühlsamen Ausführungen. Kennen Sie den Bariton Benjamin Appel? Ich finde, er singt Schubertlieder sehr eindringlich und berührend .
Sie haben zusammen gespielt, ich glaube.
Schubert is one of two great composers (with Delius), to my knowing, who died of syphilis. It's apparently a very horrible way to go.
To which we should add Hugo Wolf, Scott Joplin, and possibly Robert Schumann. How different the history of music would have been had all of these composers lived a full life span!
Donizetti!@@jamesmackay8129
@@jamesmackay8129 Snetana was horrifyingly hard hit.
By the time of his death Schubert's syphilis was actually in a state of remission .
Fortunately he never went through all the progressing stages of this terrible disease until the lethal one; that rather slow progress can often take several decades with long pauses of remission in between, which can last for years.
He simply died too young.
He possibly died of an acute infection, probably a sort of typhoid fever.
Three days before his death he was diagnosed by his doctors with "typhus abdominalis", the most probable cause of his death.
@@fredrickroll06
Indeed. Probably the cause Smetana's hearing loss .
thank you very much mr. johnson, you can not find any thing in the austrian broadcast, vielen dank
