FAURÉ Thème et variations, Op. 73 - Tengku Irfan
The Thème et Variations, Op. 73 is one of Fauré’s most notable piano works. Described by pianist Alfred Cortot as the composer’s “most important composition both in actual dimensions and in character and beauty”, it is considered a classic by the French. In September 1895, Fauré wrote to a friend, “... I'm in the throes of writing the last variation… I don't know whether it's a good piece but I don't imagine I'll surprise you if I say it's very difficult.” The result was one of the composer’s most celebrated and extended piano works.
The theme is a restrained, fateful and noble march, a close similarity to Schumann’s theme in his Études Symphoniques, Op. 13. Modally inflected, in a rhythmically repetitive pattern and configured with accents on weak beats of the bar. We hear Fauré’s fondness for bass lines. Eleven variations follow, starting out with simple textural elaborations, but soon developing into further expressive lyricism and rhythmic complexities through techniques of counterpoint and fragmentation. Typical of Fauré, he avoids ending with a bombastic crowd-pleasing variation, but brilliantly exits softly, in a final meditative variation with enigmatic harmonic changes and lyrical tranquility in the major mode. As Robert Orledge writes in his biography of the composer, “It raises the whole work onto a higher, almost religious plane … the chorale rises from its serenity to a climax of transcendental intensity, making the flashy excitement of the penultimate variation seem trivial in comparison.” (Lin Tonglin)
Recorded live at the Victoria Concert Hall, Singapore, on 9 June 2023 at the 29th Singapore International Piano Festival.

BEETHOVEN Piano Sonata No. 31 - Jonathan Biss
Переглядів 1,7 тис.День тому
Like so many of Beethoven’s late works, the scope of Op. 110 expands as it progresses: the sonata begins with great beauty but no hint of the grandeur to come. The opening theme is marked “sanft” - like all the best German words, it is untranslatable, but somewhere near its core is “gentleness.” This gentleness, this softness of texture immediately opens the heart but conceals the enormous ambi...
VILLA-LOBOS Rudepoêma - Tengku Irfan
Переглядів 33114 днів тому
Born in Rio in 1887, Villa-Lobos adapted Brazilian style and popular music to a classical Western Europe mold. He relished above all the motoric rhythms and melodic cells of his Latin American culture. He wrote Rudepoêma between 1921 and 1926, during his first residency in Paris. It became one of his paramount masterpieces for solo piano, and one of the most impressive and complicated compositi...
MOZART Rondo in A minor, K. 511 - Jonathan Biss
Переглядів 55514 днів тому
Mozart is the most objective of the great composers. Neither an optimist nor a pessimist, Mozart is simply a realist - a stenographer of emotion. If this sounds cold, the results are anything but. Mozart’s mind is so omniscient, his understanding of psychology is so sophisticated - and, of course, his mastery of his craft is so staggering - he can convey, in sound, the changeability and illogic...

"This brief miniature is inspired by the 4th century Catholic Prayer of the same name, which speaks of the immaculate conception of The Virgin Mary. Religion aside, I wanted to portray the contrasting notions of sin and salvation: The first section represents temptation and frivolity, while the second stands as a simple but sincere plea for redemption. The overall atmosphere of the slower secti...
SCHUBERT Four Impromptus, D.935, Op. 142 - Jonathan Biss
Переглядів 60814 днів тому
Schubert’s genius was equally well suited to the epic scale and to the miniature. In piano sonatas and chamber music works of 40 minutes or longer, he takes existing forms and expands them, testing their natural limits and turning digression into a sublime art; in hundreds of lieder, each no more than a few minutes long, he pierces and, in some case, shatters your heart with a single change of ...
BEETHOVEN Sonata No. 22 in F major, Op. 54 - Tengku Irfan
Переглядів 93821 день тому
Written in the height of Beethoven’s heroic period, this miniature sonata falls right between the composer’s monumental Waldstein and Appassionata sonatas, with the Eroica symphony lurking nearby. Unlike its neighboring sonatas, the piano sonata Op. 54, of modest aims and proportions, only has two movements. Billed as a minuet, the first movement is a rondo form intended to have characteristics...

Wooooo 🔥
😊Eres insuperable, haces con el violin lo que quieres!!!.
Muy hermoso 💞😍
He has a sensitive touch. Good dynamics, too.
As a 9 year old violinist I would say I'm in my first exam
Why did I think the guy behind her was Eddie from twoset 😭
Love this. No need for interpretation.
首席😂
anyone get inspired to play violin by Chloe?
İ love this style
Fantastique! Quelle maîtrise!!
The fact that she makes this sound as effortless as Mozart is amazing.
Happiness is listening to Chloe.
Amazing how she makes every note come alive
Why is there a sign language person 😂
That was super!
五岛龙7岁上台演奏的曲目，神童必备。😊
Wanneer kunnen we je gaan bewonderen met het RCO in het Concertgebouw, Chloe ?
Those double harmonics be double harmonicsing
does anyone happen to know the mallets she's using to perform this piece?
She's accomplished so much at only 16! love from texas Chloe! 💕
Paganini would be astounded! Amazing job Chloe! 👏👏👏
My god. I am working on this now and she plays it so much faster than everybody else it is crazy.
These people do not know that you are supposed to applaud when all of the piece's movements are completed?. What a level of ignorance.
20:58 and that how it’s done folks😀
A magnificent performance... One of Pagani's most difficult works. Chloe is perfect again.
It always amazes me how prodigies just seem to have no fear of playing such long pieces in front of such a large audience from memory. I'm working on a 7-pages 3 minutes piece and have been for quite a while now - I can only play the whole thing from memory BUT only if my mind drifts off to think about something else - as soon as I realise I'm playing from memory I'll make a mistake and stall!
My favourite moment at 11:42 between two beautiful slides in the full performance. Head over there. If you'd be disappointed I will reimburse you :) Dear Punch, you're an Angel. Believe it or not I was sure it would be you to help out :)
Amazing intonation 😍☀️✨
Back again in 2024. Happy 59th birthday!
She so good , how She will in 10 years time ( May be the best of the best )
Would someone please make at least a dummy donation? I don't have the option to initiate one.
Okay 👌
Cooollll 🔥
this just sounds like pure heaven, her intonation is so perfect and her playing sounds like honey to my ears<3
artificial harmonics sound fake :0000
Chloe has improved a lot in a short period of time
Very crisp articulation, and as usual with Chloe and the Singapore Symphony, a great collaboration. Question: I've heard orchestrations of this movement that use percussion; are there different performance editions?
This is the first orchestration by Paganini. The composer later added percussion.
@@c2r4a1 Thank you!
The words that come to my mind: overwhelming, breathless and speechless, in awe, euphoria, perfection…….
um alo do Brasil parabéns super show...
go chloe !!!
Amazing Performance😀! Chloe nailed this concerto with ease. 💖💖
O have to do this as a solo today so I'm kinda scaredd
the way this makes my self esteem plummet. excellent playing chloe!
