- Schubert Fantasie C major D934 David Oistrakh Frida Bauer Beautiful, rare performance.
Bauer is a superb partner for Oistrakh. Schubert's D934 is one of my favorite chamber works. It must be difficult to play and to maintain an overarching cohesion in this work, because I've found few genuinely great performances. Its debut was at an outdoor event but people left out of boredom. This was one of the few of his compositions that Schubert actually saw and heard.
This performance by Oistrakh and Bauer is my favorite. They are tightly united in purpose; she has no trouble keeping up with his gorgeous sound and lively pace. Her even, rippling opening is magnificently executed, a hint of the joys ahead. Oistrakh does some of his most wonderful fiddling in the dances. There is a forward momentum throughout. Another marvelous performance is from father and daughter Claude and Pamela Frank.
In 1981 I took a cruise on a large large passenger ship out of Vancouver to Alaska and back. A lifelong Texan, at the time I was obsessed with Schubert's music and I purchased a recording of this fantasy on an old cassette tape. It was new to me and it accompanied my transiting the northwest fjords (for the first time) ... leaving an indelible memory of the mountains, water, trees visible through fog - now forever associated with Schubert's violin fantasy. A sublime joy!
Sublime performance! 30 year old Schubert - a marvel!
I can never forget their performance in the Boston Symphony Hall around 1962 when I was a quite young student. The special sensation was the unknown pianist who looked unglamorous and unpromising; we were in for a big surprise!
helgeevju You saw Oistrakh and Bauer in 1962 - how lucky you are - a memory for a lifetime.
jkircher314 That is entirely true! They also played - beautifully - the Beethoven G major sonata opus 96, but I don't recollect what else. The Schubert Fantasy was the unforgettable item, the treasure among treasures.

Michael Ferris what what??? What Chopin!? Stop asking for attention !
Oh gosh, I just heard this work on the radio while driving and was trying to figure it out, while recognizing the harmonies of that beautiful song. At the end they said what it was, played by the above mentioned Frank duo. Wow!!!
I am familiar with much of Schubert but never heard this piece. If he had only written this work and few others, he would be in the highest realms of the all time greats. How did he write rivers of music and leave us at such a young age? Incredible phenomenon!
3rd mvt - sei mir gegrüsst
Absolutely fabulous performance mesmerizing and the choice of Klimt's wonderful painting.knowing Schuberts Love for the ladies and theirs for him what a great presentation . I absolutely love it!!!! many Thanks for the posting
Thank you for sharing this rendition which is "rare" as you said. I love this piece so much. Such a pity that Schubert was not appreciated for is lifetime. He is one of the greatest musicians deserving the gotha such as Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Vivaldi.
How sad Schubert had to attend a performance that was not well appreciated. I appreciate it!
00:00 Andante moderato
03:37 Allegretto
08:31 Andantino
15:51 Tempo I - Allegro vivace - Allegretto - Presto
Amazing performance
I love the spacing and sincerity of this performance. The Heifetz/Smith performance is also wonderful: and no one could make a violin sob like Heifetz!
An artistic performance which matches eternity
Frieda Bauer was absolutely incomparable! Thanks for this magnificent present
Oh, my God! How can music ever be so beautiful! Thank you for posting it!
Endless thanks for this upload and your thoughtful observations on the work and its execution, born from a deep love for this music! I have missed this for so many, many years, and it's even better than I remembered.
Grande...gloriosa y eterna musica que solamente el genio del joven Shubert pudo regalar a la humanidad entera.Gracias divino N umen
Such beautiful musicianship. Shows th phrasing and sructure.
Oistrakh is always superb in Schubert and none more so in this mammoth piece. Sheer magisterial moments and then moments of ultra exquisite beauty. The pianist playing her part with grandeur, when needed and then with truly subtle beauty. The perfect harmonious match. Sublime.
This is simply out from God's Own Throne-room! How beautiful as well as divine!
How beautiful it is.. one of my favorite pieces.. thanks for sharing!
They are marvelous.I love as well the Bush-Serkin version of the very same piece.
Schubert,Bauer,Ohistrach,el Cielo les agradece vuestro legado
This is one of my all time favorite pieces.My favorite performance is Kremer/Afanassiev, whom I saw perform it in the 80's in L.A. before they released it on CD.I do like this performance, maybe even as much. Oistrakh is wonderful and fluid and his style is matched superbly by Bauer.I do think Oistrakh is somewhat too reserved in favor of piano, although I do believe that Schubert tended to favor the piano in these small pieces.All in all I think this performance approaches if not equals Kremer/AfanassievThanks very much for the music.
Indeed I also feel remembered to Kremer and Afanassiev concerning timing.
In the opening - two distinct emotions winding together for those who know Schubert's tragedy - the entrancing feminine in the scintillating piano part overwhelming the sadness of awareness in the violin! Then the drama caught up in the excitement and danger! Very sensitive interpretation!
The best ensemble ever!
That's UNIQUE...THANKS VERY MUCH...! ТАКОЕ Искусство ВЕЧНО !
Exquisite! This rare, almost completely unknown treasure was just finally published by Melodiya. I have never before seen it commercially available. To my ears and heart it's the most beautiful, sensitive and animated version of this under appreciated marvel of Schubertian genius.
Wunderbares Zusammenspiel!
A melhor execução e melhor interpretação desta peça! Ninguém mais conseguiu ultrapassar Oistrakh e sua esposa Frida. dyezzi::.
In the description above it says people left out of boredom at the debut! How on earth!!! Such amazing music. Thanks enormously for posting. You made my day and many in the future as I'll be back!!
David Watermeyer Appreciation of Schubert's "heavenly length" was a long time in coming.
@@debwagner7505 Acquired taste maybe?!!
David Watermeyer I suspect short attention spans. :)
such beauty!
This is a beautiful rendition of this wonderful piece. Oistrakh & Bauer do a terrific job. With the advances in technology and sound it's hard to compare to the also wonderful rendition of the Fantasia in C by Clara Jumi Kang and Yeol Eum Son. It's no matter because both presentations are wonderful.
Immortal, cosmic Schubert
La exelencia Bauer y Ostraski 🏆🥇
İ was lying in the backyard when i listened to this
Impressive to the Nth degree! Thanks a ton for posting this. I can't believe a masterpiece like this can continue to be obscure & underperformed.
One of Schubert's last works & one of his greatest chamber compositions. The influence of Beethoven pervades, and there is far more virtuosity than in Schubert's earlier opuses. Had he only lived longer. ***sigh***
And the performance by Oistrakh and Bauer is one that sheds light on the score at every turn. I can't imagine a better in the future.
Galantski I take it you've never played the late quartets or the Octet. They are full of violin acrobatics.
@@debwagner7505 I'm not sure your point. Perhaps you misread my comment.
Bauer gran pianista 🌹
Y Oistrioskasti
I love this piece of Schubert that needs virtuoses talents
Les trois premières minutes sont Divine
Oistrak 🎻🎻
My favorite is Kremer with Elena Bashkirova on Philips, 1980. She is now the wife of Daniel Barenboim.
Franz quotes from his song "Sei Mir Gegruesst" (i Greet Thee) within two minutes from the end.
The entire section from 8:32 to 15:50 consists of variations on "Sei Mir Gegruesst". Then the introductory material returns and at 17:08 the final Allegro begins. This is in part derived from the song, but sounds to me a lot like the folk song, "Ach, wie ist moeglich dann"--"Ah, how is it possible then/ That I could leave thee." The variations (and the echo at the end) are in A Flat major, in contrast to the overall key of C. The opening Allegro starts in A minor. The piece is, in fact both more tightly organized and more harmonically varied than is obvious to the casual listener. Listen also to the Wanderer Fantasy and the Fantasy in F minor for piano duo for examples of compression of sonata movements into a single continuous work. By the time Liszt did the same he could call it the "Sonata in B Minor" without being devoured by the critics. Beethoven started the ball rolling with his "Sonata quasi una Fantasia"--AKA "Moonlight". (That title was bestowed by Ludwig Rellstab, some of whose poems were set by Schubert in the Schwanengesang. Art is an intricately interwoven tapestry.)
My heart almost explodes from the beauty of this unforgettable quote.
Harmonische Klänge wie aus einer anderen Welt ...
Fantástico

For another marvellous rendition hear Adolf Busch/Rudolf Serkin

This is just gorgeous. I'll never understand why this piece gets a bad rap compared to Schubert's other late works
8:32-9:50 he took the melody from Mozart’s sonata in A major (the opening)
He took it from one of his own lieder, Sei mir gegrusst, which is used throughout the Fantasie.
Schubert in Vollendung ...
Uh, who gives a "thumb down" to THIS?!?! What is wrong with you, pardon the necessary bluntness?
Bauer al piano.

This record is certainly not with David Oistrakh.
Soif de musique It is -- you can just hardly hear him.
It couldn't be more Oistrakh. You can recognize it from the first second of his solo entry 😂😂
It's not the sound by any violin played by Oistrakh and it's not the way Oistrakh used his bow. And the vibrato has nothing to do with the Oistrakh vibrato.
@@soifdemusique1580 okey
Unfortunately the sound balance is not good. The piano (excellent) looks "near" and the violin far "behind" . For me it is a pity for Oistrakh.
One: I disagree.
Two: In those days, recording technology aeons behind what it is now. Given the technology at the time, the recording is excellent.
Suggest not picking nits about the recording technology and enjoy the incredible playing of both artists.
There are plenty of perfectly recorded more recent performances to listen to if you want to trade stellar artistry for recording perfection.
Most modern recordings have the violin set much too close and overpower the piano completely. That might be what makes you think that...
PLEASE!
God Almighty! And what else might Your Highness need for things to be just perfect??!!
You are right - the balance is not good - more violin would be preferable - Oistrakh owns this piece imo.
