How he plays it is just so incredibly gentle, thoughtful, as if the notes are caressing your ears, and you never recognized auditory beauty transforming into images of incredible landscapes, loved ones, your most treasured memories.. It’s fascinating how human emotion can create such art, and control one entirely to let that emotion only trail into your hands, our hands, and with such, make the most wonderful art, or most fearing experiences.
i have compared and listen many times to the different interpretation of this music and this is the best one i like most is by Aldo Cicolini. His playing of this piece is like caressing and tenderly in love with the woman he loves. the tempo is not rushing and smooth. I can listen to this piece and mr. Cicolini playing this piece many times. I love this music very much. BRAVO.
I will always believe that Ciccolini played this in a rather slow tempo with a reason and conviction. And such is only convincing when it is displayed by someone who walked through years of ups and downs. But the underlying charm is that true love takes time to explore and grow to the fullest. For a aging person, love is hoped to last as long as it can be. Thank you Maestro!
I didn't realize how beautiful this piece was until I heard it played by this master. I'm definitely going to learn it. Elgar composed it for his wife, a wonderful woman who was disowned by her family because she married a "tradesman" (!) and a Catholic (!).
At first I thought. "Oh, he slowed down the tempo compared to other recordings I usually listen to." Then 30 seconds into the music, my jaw just dropped... There's just so much breath with each note. It's like he makes the piano sound like a woodwind instrument... Brava!!!
Thank you so much for not racing through this beautiful piece. It now seems to be played at such high speed that it's definitely NO salute to love. Expression and empathy make the artist, not speed or gymnastics. BRAVO!
This is a man who knew love, who experienced it, and knew how to connect the music with the truly felt emotion of it, the purity of it, the passion of it. This is a man who knew how to love and to make love, how to please and how to pleasure. This piece has always been, to me, a piece that expresses the gentleness and crescendo of the passion of love, but no one plays it as exquisitely and as vividly as it has been played here. It speaks volumes of its composer and its performer! How utterly beautiful!
@@williamdiffin28 No, I meant what I said. Many musicians can correctly play the notes and phrasing as directed by the notations, or mimic what other artists have played, but that isn't the same as having an emotional connection to a piece, or understanding the emotion of a piece, and allowing yourself as a musician to be vulnerable enough to share those emotions. I do, however, thank you for making my point for me that few understand what I said and what I meant when I said it.
Absolutely incredible- this is one of my favorite interpretations I've heard by far. The push and the pull and the tension between each note is astounding. So much expression through these simple notes, it really is beautiful :)
I really like the tempo choice too. It’s quite a bit slower than that of the usual violin recording, though the Berlin Phil plays this at a similar tempo.
The way he plays it makes me smile several times. Feels like someone is giving me beautiful love and thought which all I can do is smilling and saying, "Thank you!".
I'm here because I adore Mr Ciccolini's Erik Satie recordings. I have them all on very crackly vinyl : ) This piece is new to me but has the same simple sweetness that I enjoyed in his playing of Satie. Thanks for uploading.
Its been a year since I stumbled upon this Ciccolinis interpretation of this piece and I have been watching it almost every day for the past year. This is the best interpretation I've heard of by far
This is a kind of life achievement of a maestro.. which is far beyond technique... It is so beautiful that it's even sad... each time I listen to this performance...The tempo is relatively slow but who would care... So touching video...Thanks...
Já ouvi muitas interpretações de Salut D’Amour,mas essa está entre as mais belas! Aldo Ciccolini saúda o Amor com a Alma repleta de Amor! A sua Interpretação orvalha o meu coração e redime a secura do olhar! Belíssima!!!!!!!
The way he plays, the notes he add, the different arpeggios and flicks, he's making the song his life story, and I love it so much. Thank you for sharing this with us. Absolutely beautiful. Example; 0:58 - 1:03
The great masters are unique, even at the heights of age, impeccable, extraordinary, unsurpassable. A great loss, Thank you for the legacy Genius and figure.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
When I was in love, I listened to beautiful music every free minute and I never stopped liking it. It was just an indescribable delight. Love has passed, I turn it on again, but I no longer feel anything, I do not experience the emotions and impressions that it made on me. I loved that man very much, but he considered me a little girl incapable of true love and physical intimacy.💔
🌟🌟🌟 e sentirlo suonare in privato durante una lezione è stato un DONO che porterò dentro per sempre..... eternamente grato MAESTRO! ricordo ancora quando mi ponesti di fronte il preludio delle TERZE ALTERNATE di Debussy e mi dicesti: SUONALO.... a prima vista.... devo ancora capire il motivo, ma non è mai stato così "semplice" studiarlo... questa è la grandezza che avevi come UOMO VERO! altro che oggigiorno..... 🌟🌟🌟
I come here and listen to this whenever I want to get rid of bad thoughts and dream of a hopeful future.

Thank you, fully agreed, for your gentle commentary! :-)
howle doen? 🥺🥺🥺
@@berlinzerberus Lovely comments. To the Love!
I love it
It is said that when music brings sustained applause, it's the soul taking over from emotions.
Мое поклонение пианисту ! В мире хаоса, угрозы жизни я воспринимаю эту пьесу Элгара как защиту души от смятения и страха...
Nobody plays it like Ciccolini. The only one who reachs the deepest meaning of this piece
The best violin version of this is by Andre Rieu
i have compared and listen many times to the different interpretation of this music
and this is the best one i like most is by Aldo Cicolini. His playing of this piece is like
caressing and tenderly in love with the woman he loves. the tempo is not rushing and smooth. I can listen to this piece and mr. Cicolini playing this piece many times. I love this music very much. BRAVO.
…playing it to the man he loves, actually…
Fanfiction brought me here. My obsession with this piece made me stay for like, 10 play throughs
You too, huh? "Entirely Out of Spite" or another?
This is seriously the best rendition of this piece I've heard.
I agree.
Is there any sheet music for it?
amazing rendition. you should also check out tomoharu uchida's version
I will always believe that Ciccolini played this in a rather slow tempo with a reason and conviction. And such is only convincing when it is displayed by someone who walked through years of ups and downs. But the underlying charm is that true love takes time to explore and grow to the fullest. For a aging person, love is hoped to last as long as it can be. Thank you Maestro!
Well said, 66FKC. I agree with you.

You made me teary-eyed
Feeling the loss of my beloved .
Beautifully put
I didn't realize how beautiful this piece was until I heard it played by this master. I'm definitely going to learn it. Elgar composed it for his wife, a wonderful woman who was disowned by her family because she married a "tradesman" (!) and a Catholic (!).
Age is just a number, the mind and soul stay young forever. 👍🌷🌷🌷🍀
Grazie infinite Maestro Ciccolini ci mancherai tantissimo ma vivrai nella meravigliosa musica che hai interpretato ❤❤😢

Thank you so much for not racing through this beautiful piece. It now seems to be played at such high speed that it's definitely NO salute to love. Expression and empathy make the artist, not speed or gymnastics. BRAVO!
@Tiffany Homes, I agree, it is usually played far too fast, thus losing all its meaning.
To be fair, Elgar's autograph is 72.
This is a man who knew love, who experienced it, and knew how to connect the music with the truly felt emotion of it, the purity of it, the passion of it.
This is a man who knew how to love and to make love, how to please and how to pleasure.
This piece has always been, to me, a piece that expresses the gentleness and crescendo of the passion of love, but no one plays it as exquisitely and as vividly as it has been played here. It speaks volumes of its composer and its performer!
How utterly beautiful!
'It speaks volumes of its comp.......!'
Thanks for this new vocabulary in English.
'This is a man who... etc.'
You mean: 'This is a musician.'

@@tgp-rq2wi I totally agree with you. You put it beautifully. So many people play it too fast. This is perfect.

It has been hiding from me too. Discovered it only recently.
it's a violin and piano/orchestra piece!
I agree
I agree!! The best performance of this piece (ANd I just love this piece), at least at this very moment for me!!
I really like the tempo choice too. It’s quite a bit slower than that of the usual violin recording, though the Berlin Phil plays this at a similar tempo.
An awesome performance by this underrated aging master. So much experience and wisdom, it would be hard to match/
This is the best version of Salut D'Amour including all instrumental versions I've heard.
The way he plays it makes me smile several times. Feels like someone is giving me beautiful love and thought which all I can do is smilling and saying, "Thank you!".
Played beautifully with such feeling. Just lovely

Vielen Dank für diese Musik, ich höre sie jeden Tag ....
Gern geschehen!
A Neapolitan living in Paris playing one of England's greatest composers. A beautiful piece and magnificently played! Bravo maestro!
He has the most gentle heart❤
Это потрясающее исполнение! Аж до мурашек❤Благодарю!
He must have a lot of memories poured into his rendition of this beautiful piece.
This tears at the heartstrings! If my lovely partner goes before me I will probably not bear to hear this wonderful piece again!
Damn whoever dare to cough in such beautiful music!!
The interpretation for a lifetime!!! Moving to tears
あなたと出会ってからいろんなことがありました。

In tears...
You're not the only one Bill.
Standing ovation to his interpretation. Love it.
Absolutely I feel the real salut d'amour.
This has got to me my favourite rendition of all time! Not too loud; it engages you and doesn't overwhelm.
The mighty Ciccolini does it one last time - again! Marvelous, marvelous indeed!!!
the best musical interpretation. Bravo👏👏👏
Oh my goodness. So tender.
Oui, il nous manque...
Damn ninja cutting onions.. He just told me his life’s story without saying anything. Oh god.

Stupendo da sogno❤
Merci Aldo pour tout cet amour de la musique et l'amour du public, que vous avez nourri pendant si longtemps. On ne vous oubliera jamais...
