phil@philrowlands.com Some sessions I did just before Christmas with the lovely Fanny Clamagirand and pianist Vanya Cohen. This is a full CD of Saint-Saëns, including some nice rarities. It is released on Naxos

How is it possible. How is it possible to find such joy in a piece of music that is so ostensibly sad?

Is it really so sad? The saddest here is the divine beauty one would ever long for.

If you really like these, saint seans carnival of animals and debussy’s most famous pieces are something else youd like

It’s a song about beautiful swans floating on a pond. I don’t find it sad at all. But I do agree it’s beautiful.

There are many versions of this absolutely beautiful piece of music but to me this one outperforms anything I've ever heard. To those of us who can appreciate the amount of actual feeling that anyone could ever put into playing music then you can't help to realise the tremendous amount of feeling that has been put into this by these two perfect players. No wonder, when hearing anything like this, it makes your skin go all goose-bumpy and your eyes fill with tears. Absolutely perfect and beautiful. To play like this you must possess something that no amount of wealth could ever buy. Saint Saens wrote this lovely piece and here it was played to infinite perfection. Thank you.

@dondukinfield6445 4 жыл бұрын

I wondered for a while what it is about this performance that makes it stand out. I've come to the conclusion that it is the very obvious pleasure which the musicians get from simply playing it to the best of their abilty, without any pressure to achieve any musical standard except their own. It really is an exceptional rendition of this piece.

This is my favourite. My youngest son used to play the violin. He is good but he gave it up to play other instruments. My other son plays piano and church organ. He is now a church organist. It was my dream for both of my sons to play this piece of music together but my dream will remain a dream unless my youngest, pick up his violin again. I can't see that happening. Oh well I can continue dreaming. These two young ladies parents are lucky.

優雅な白鳥が湖面を泳ぐ風景が目に浮かぶ。サンサーンスという偉大な作曲家がイメージした、そのままの様子を素直に再現し、繊細で１つも、「くせ」がない。ピアノ伴奏も同様に、最後まで細やかで、白鳥が泳ぐ際に細かく飛び散る水の「しぶき」がピチャピチャと湖面から聞こえてくるようだ。２人の意気がぴったりと合った最高の演奏だと思います。
