She adopts an almost identical tempo to Horowitz (Vienna) and Richter. A lovely young woman with poetry in her soul.

A truly exceptional gift that Schubert shared with the world, and Irina has made it memorable.

World class interpretation. No more words needed.

beautiful!! My long passed hubby used to play this..... tears in my eyes... thank you Irina, you are a gem!!

❣️Superbo

This performance is the most beauty and wonderful. She is familiar with Schubert's songs.

Whoever put together this video knew that Ms Lankowa is as beautiful as an impromptu and nocturnes put together.

I hope you are happy and healthy, with love from New Jersey, USA.

Painters, sculptors, poets, dramatists have for ages sought to convey through their art how a muse moves them through beauty to recreate beauty, sheerest labor of love. Now this! A new art form comes from you dear treasure muse, as you put before us, world audience, and for all time, for any of us anywhere to behold, whenever, a new symphonic blend of breathtaking visuals, immortal melodies, extraordinary talent honed through prodigious training, refined into a meditation of sublime musical and spiritual taste, interspersed clips of quiet ecstasy harmonizing natural settings, close -ups of fingers caressing keys with loving touch, and full bodied radiance of sensuously expressive vibes. Over and over I am moved anew, wondering as I begin to witness how yet another view would match, let alone surpass how this masterpiece has touched me before. And then, like freshly revelatory prayer yet another ineffable gift is given. All praise, blessing, thanks.

Gorgeous Irina beautifully recreates Schubert, that great Austrian master!

Vous êtes l'une de mes pianistes préférées. En raison notamment de la douceur de vos interprétations -- et de votre visage. J'ai acheté trois de vos disques, dont celui consacré à Schubert, et j'adore les écouter. Votre interprétation est exceptionnellement sensible! Félicitations également pour votre 'Piano dévoilé', c'est remarquable! Merci pour toute votre oeuvre.

As I listen to this piece I see a thousand nuances of vibrating colour-not simply for her impressive stylistic accomplishment but also for what they reveal of Irina's efforts to extract an art of harmony and refinement from her own familiar surroundings, she seeks to extract a sense of the permanent from our fleeting transitory world.This is piano playing at its best, an art of refinement and control, slowing down the tempo of our everyday life and transforming the mundane into a source of magic

My favourite was by Lupu - until I discovered this. Bravo.

touch the heart with this perfect performence, recording expetional

Ce frumusețe sălășluiește în sufletul tau !

Schubert's music fascinates with special soulful poetry, refinement of melodic lines and harmonious style, and Irina Lankova's highest professionalism, absolute depth of understanding and her musicality are always admired !

Un impromptu d'une merveilleuse fluidité, une pianiste d'une beauté et d'un talent éclatants. Un pur moment de bonheur.

Thank you for your performance. Brava! From daegu city in Korea

deep touch, deep emotion

Esti atat de talentata si speciala !

Your interpretation is similar to Rubinstein or Zimmerman, but with your natural fill-in. Specially, your brain is thinking about the sea, the mountains... the nature. Since the movie Amour, a lot of people are thinking in in the life, in the older life, or in the love, but you are my hope, because in my mind return the idea, and the first things that I thought when I was listen this beautiful piece... I was think in water, plants, rain, the universe, also think that the meaning is that! great!!

I have never listened to Schubert before this is fantastic, your range of emotions while playing this is stunning thank you x

Bravissima! Grazie!

Magic.

This is pure delight for thé soul..

For me this is a wonderful performance of this beautiful piece, thank you so much

Рахманинов, Шуберт... Кто еще из композиторов "откроется" благодаря Вам, Ирина! Поразительный видеоряд - должно быть, так и выглядит безмятежность...

Poetic, inspired playing, further enhanced by a wonderful video presentation.

Everything seems to me perfect: the composition, the interpretation, the nature, the whole video; thank you indeed for sharing.......

Always my pleasure. Keep on going!

Geweldig. Super mooi Irina.

After watching her series on the nuances of the piano, this is the selection I immediately turned to. The changes in melody, bass/treble, and volume are more easily detected by me now. I also enjoyed the photography-very relaxing with the music.

Dios mío, cuanta paz, gracias, Irina 🌷

Un pur moment de grand bonheur que de vous écouter et de vous voir. Excellence du jeu et de l'image. Bravo et merci Irina!

whoa, that was exceptional.

Refinada y clara interpretacion...wooowww You are great Irina...saludos from mexico city.

I have heard many recordings of this beautiful piece of music, but I have never heard it played better,Thank you. Whilst the cinematic accompaniment was interesting to see I would prefer to watch how you play it so we all can learn.

De la poésie du rêve . Magnifique .

learning this piece right now, and very glad to come across this recording. Lankova is one of the great pianists of our time

What a beautiful piece and …

So beautiful Irina, I close my eyes and Imagine. Thank you .

Yes this is the most beautiful piece Schubert ever wrote I do play this one but it gives me wrist strain you play it so well

Irina has played and given us a extremely performance to a great piece of music of Schubert

wooooooow , oh dear ... got tears in the eyes said enough !!! tempo, balance, very nice video, nature PERFECT you've got what it all is about !!! very very nice

Magician performance lady, with love from New Jersey, USA

Merci !

...perfect

Bravo lady, I hope you are healthy and happy, with love from New Jersey, USA.

To all the fine tributes in previous comments it may be good to add that you bring an exalted degree of spiritual evolution that matches the composer's, and so you're able to stream such ineffable sparkle into your re-creation of his.

Amazing😢

Oh, those wonderful low-note trills of Schubert. He used that to such incredible effect in his last Piano Sonata D. 960 in B flat in the marvelous first movement. Great poetic playing here and nicely captured scenes outside, so beautiful, just like this masterpiece on solo piano by Schubert.

Your brilliant interpretation was simply heart-fell! Shubert would've been deligthed proud of you. Thank you so very much for the outstanding video as well.

Absolutely breathtaking …..

This is perfect!!!

elegant

I think I am the first to say, That was Beautiful Irina.

You realize your skills as an artist whenever you manage to recreate the original as if it were your own work and give it the meaning the composer intended to convey. This is beyond the notes on the sheet, it is a fusion of hearts and minds across the time, in the bliss of eternity. Every musician tries to put in sound his or her experience of the transcendental, through his or her individual character. Irina really understands Schubert's frame of mind, as we still witness it from his letters, and can merge with his soul to express what he felt and saw in his inner eye. The meditative pictures and the sublime beauty of nature in them match this perfectly. But nothing moves us more than sound...

Excellent.

Amazing 🕊🌹🌹🌹❤🕊

I want this played at my funeral!

Schubert is there with her on the beach. At first I thought she looked so lonely, but by the end I realized she was never alone.

This beautifully-crafted music video very exquisitely reflects the warmth of Schubert's music and the true magnificence of Ms. Lankova's musicianship and artistry! Bravissimo, dear Irina!!!

like your unique interpretation

Sublime ❤

Super! 😘👏👏👏👏

BRAVÍSSIMO!

Dear Irina, this is beautiful! You made my day during this hard time

Я в захваті!! Дякую!!

Уважаемая Ирина, Ваше исполнение - это дивное пение, проникающее в душу... Так свободно, естественно, на одном дыхании! Огромное спасибо.

How very sensitive rendering of this masterpiece! I am sorry my written Russian is not good enough to convey the full palette of my feelings upon listening to your Schubert´s version. When everything seemed said, when Horowitz, Ashkenazy, Benedetti, and Pires seemed to have squeezed the last drop of beauty here you come and show us the hidden face of the score. Have a good day in the company of your beloved ones. And may you live many years to continue enlightening our lives with your artistry. Warm thanks.

Das ist ganz großes Klavierspiel, wunderbare Cantilene, die immer über allem schwebt.......

A gorgeous, lyrical piece, played by a beautiful woman who can transport herself into the yonder.

Irina... this is a beautiful video... My deeply congratulations. Beautiful selected composition, great interpretation and also great video editing. Your beauty in this video is poetic.

It's truly love at first note...

Wonderful Irina. I played this a few years back but developed a Left shoulder injury whilst practicing it, as the left hand seem very still for long periods, and also doing those left handed trills. The greatest part you do Irina is making this “difficult piece” - sound easy ! Wonderful. 👍🙏
