It really is wonderful. I shed few tears of joy, yet I wept all through this exemplary performance. Just amazingly beautiful.

이자벨위페르 피아니스트 보고 듣는중이네요 반가워요 한국인!!

But noble pianist😟 has a servant to turn over the pages 🤔

Ich möchte gern mit Christoph sprechen, und damit sagen: Das Forte Piano ist fantastish. Is that almost understandable? Som svensk är det svårt att laborera med utländska språk.

It looks like a fairly recent company that started in 1992, so I would hazard to say that the builder probably is still alive, and probably would even build one for your own living room if you so desired to have one commissioned. I'm guessing by the price being only available on request that only well-heeled customers need apply.

Quite so. Graphic, thus, granular clarity.

This must be a late fortepiano, closer to the sound to a piano but still maintaining the softer timbre of the fortepiano.

Well said! It´s good to acknowledge the artistic contribution of those behind the scenes, who bring as much dedication and love of music as the performers.

don t agree. Try Trio opus 50 by Tchaikovsky To me Is by far the best.

Exactly what I was thinking, fantastic sound engineering; fortepiano is also beautiful and has such as clean sound. Great performance, bravo!

Now, listen to his 9th Symphony.

Ja das ist es. Yes, that ist true.

Melancholie bis zur Verzweiflung, gestört von "fröhlicher" Ländlermusik, die eher als sarkastischer Galgenhumor erscheint.

Тоже очень понравилось исполнение❤😊

Belíssima performance! Porém há de se respeitar o limite entre o sagrado e o profano pois templo católico não é sala de concerto.

Schubert❤ Maestro grandissimo ☝️

Perfection is impossible, but this is a very close approximation, in my tiny opinion.

In a hostile world, your wonderful performance elevates us all... The true spirit of the lost enlightenment.

A question, and an observation.... When you are performing at this level... And I have only experienced it twice... Does the audience, and the entire world just disappear? Do you disappear into the music? Are you disappointed to have to re_emerge into the world, drawn back from heaven by applause?

Yes. Schubert at the age of 75 has to look back on a musical journey that has converted the musical scene completely. What comes next is unknown.

Schubert is considered as representing genius in music, I have read. "If genius is defined as one who thinks faster and better than others, then Schubert is one of the greatest geniuses who ever lived". (Note that it is not "one of the greatest musical geniuses", but "one of the greatest geniuses").

He surpasses Beethoven. Beethoven is great, but compared to Schubert he seems to be one of us people from Planet Earth. In my opinion only Bach and Schubert went beyond our nature to create music, that experienced musicians or listeners feel has utter importance and somehow seems divine.

@@serafin1719 And Mozart, according to me, along with Bach and Schubert (whom you have mentioned).

Belíssima performance! Porém há de se respeitar o limite entre o sagrado e o profano pois templo católico não é sala de concerto.

Нет слов, чем больше слушаешь, тем более потрясает, музыка эта абсолютно до конца непостижима

It probably sounds at least as well as the best performances of the time, most likely better imo.

Using a fortepiano solves a lot of problems for the modern Schubert pianist. Schubert's textures are often quite thick and can get very soupy on a Steinway. It's a lot of work to clarify the music. It's even more difficult in chamber music where you also have to work hard not to overpower your colleagues. With a fortepiano, much of that work is unnecessary.

@@jimp4170 Jim, there you are right! But on the other hand, I have never reacted on too thick texture in Schuberts piano music. Not even on a Steinway.

I'm disappointed to learn they used gut strings. it feels in this day and age we should be passed such things. the performance is wonderful, nonetheless

@@richardhunter132 The gut strings go with the fortepiano. If they had used modern strings (steel or synthetic core) the sound would have been too powerful for the fortepiano. So gut strings tend to go along with fortepianos while modern strings are used with the more powerful pianofortes. In fact, even modern strings can have trouble holding their own against a modern Steinway. There's room for both approaches. For Schubert I too prefer modern instruments but I can understand why some people prefer to hear the music as it would have sounded to Schubert. Incidentally, some responders below don't think the strings are gut. If so, then a period fortepiano can indeed hold its own against modern strings. I don't think the same is true with period harpsichords. There are great performances that pair modern string instruments with harpsichords, like Arthur Grumiaux's recordings of the Bach violin-keyboard sonatas with Christiane Jaccottet's harpsichord, but Grumiaux's violin seems to me to overpower the harpsichord.

Pues has tenido el privilegio de escuchar el trio mas perfecto de la musica clasica, incluyendo a los de Beethoven. El andante es extraterrenal, como has visto.

@@jorgekratsman3576 Totalmente de acuerdo, fenomenal!!!
