A truly amazing virtuoso performance of this legendary Schulz-Evler transcription that turns the water of the beautiful blue Danube river into wine. Champagne, actually. The bubbly over-the-top transcription is absolutely intoxicating!
This is beautifully played, super clean. Everyone should check out the Jorge Bolet live at Carnegie Hall performance. Nuanced and also amazing.....with his own absolutely spectacular ending!
Pointless to compare the techniques of Lhevinne and Hamelin. Neither player is detectably limited by his technique - they are both complete masters. It's absolutely a taste call on what they do with the piece. I'm just glad to have been able to hear both recordings.
J'ai ton CD avec cette interprétation, Marc-André. Mais c'est tellement plus facile sur internet. Un réel plaisir de te réentendre. J'ai acheté la partition il y a plusieurs années, mais je ne suis pas sûre de vouloir me lancer, encore. En tout cas, bravo! C'est vraiment très plaisant et divertissant, impressionnant et tout! Si jamais tu as 4 minutes, va voir mon Alleluia de Liszt, lancé il y a 3 jours.
Never mind the music for a moment. Let's correct the typo. It's not Schulz-Elver. It's Schulz-Evler. Adolf Andrei Schulz-Evler was born in Random, Poland in 1852, studied first at the Warsaw Conservatoire and then under Carl Tausig in Berlin. He composed quite a lot of music, almost all of it no longer performed these days. I think his Arabesques on the Beautiful Blue Danube is the only piece for which he is still known. From 1884 he taught at the Kharkiv Music School in Ukraine until his death in 1904.
Never mind Schulz-Evler for a moment. Let's correct the typo. It's not Random, Poland. It's Radom, Poland. Radom is a city in east-central Poland with 219,703 inhabitants (2013). It is located 100 kilometres (62 miles) south of Poland's capital, Warsaw, on the Mleczna River, in (as of 1999) the Masovian Voivodeship, having previously been the capital of Radom Voivodeship (1975-1998).
Never mind the spelling of Radom, Poland for a moment. Let's convert that distance more exactly. To 7 significant figures after the decimal point, it is 62.1371192 miles. Not that it's of any importance, but I think Marc-Andre Hamelin gave a great performance of a beautiful piece of music.
Never mind the exact conversion of 100 km to miles for a moment. Let's be more accurate with our spelling. It's not Marc-Andre Hamelin. It's Marc-André Hamelin. Marc-André Hamelin is a French-Canadian pianist known for his technical brilliance and virtuosity. I think Marc-André Hamelin is the greatest pianist who has ever lived. With stunning control and fluidity, Hamelin draws pathos and nostalgia from the Arabesque, with a subtle hint of humor. A scintillating performance!
Never mind any of this other stuff for a moment. Can you tell me how to make that accent mark over the "e"? I've never been able to do that when I type in this kind of answer box. Do I have to paste it in from a word processor or is there a way to do it directly? I'm using a PC with Windows. By the way, I agree that Hamelin is great but I don't know about the "who has ever lived" part.
The only one thing I don't like is that this was written in E flat major, which I don't like personally. But because it sounds really beautiful, therefore I transpose this to D major. So amazing.
Well the original waltz (for orchestra) is in D so if you can play the tune in D that's one thing, but if you are saying you play this arrangement in D, I say: SURE you do!
A story about this piece. A countess in Vienna was on her deathbed, and the priest had just administered the last rites.She was then asked if she had any final wish. Yes: she wanted Schulz-Evler to play for her the Blue Danube! "But you can't mean that; he's a JEW!!" "That is no matter; I have had the Last Rites"! So Schulz-Evler came, and the countess's soul danced off to Heaven to the Blue Danube waltz.
You know, gonna get hated for this take, but this arrangement is still inferior to the 45 seconds on Tom and Jerry that is so similar. I really wanna find the nameless Hollywood music genius who arranged that one--the way that he/she changes the harmonies on the third beat of each measure of the opening theme in the most effortlessly elegant way. It makes the Schulz-Evler--already a marvel of arrangement--seem bland in comparison.
@glic7236 I suppose that Lhevinne's technique was better than Hamelin's is, but both seem quite capable of playing this the way they want it to sound. I like both interpretations. Each man plays it intelligently, without trying to sound showy. Contrast this to the more bravura interpretation by Jorge Bolet and the (in my opinion) excessive showmanship of Mauricio Vallina. All of these can be found here on UA-cam.
@@MegaPianogenius Lhevinne was in no way uniformly superior to Hamelin, because no one is or was, even Horowitz or Pollini. At the same time, some great virtuosos brought a kind of drama that simply isn’t Hamelin’s style. Anyway, at this level, comparisons are pretty pointless.
A truly elegant and wonderful performance!!

Literally flawless. No one on Earth comes close!
levhinne certainly did!
Lhévinne

With the on screen cursor positioned where you want the é to appear, depress and hold down the ALT key while you type 0233 on the number pad. Release the ALT key and, lo and behold, you'll find an é has appeared. If you so wish, you can enter a search request on Google for diacritical marks which may direct you to a list showing how you can create scores of them, plus fractions ¼ ½ and various marks like § ™ © € etc.

It was a pianist called Jakob Gimpel. He never wrote the notation down, but a Japanese female pianist has down and its on youtube somewhere.
@@stephenwalford5952 could it be Hiromi Uehara?

Tom Barrister hamelin has a far better technique than lhevinne I say that as a concert pianist myself clean your ears out

Let summarize the ongoing debate/discussion regarding the comparison of pianists' technique - "blah blah blah blah blah". Now shut up an listen.
Tom and Jerry anyone?
