Weirdly, I learned 4 Rachmaninof preludes before even looking at these. I know, my ignorance, mainly. But it gives me an unusual backwards perspective, I keep hearing syncopation ideas, themes, bits of the style of Rachmaninof everywhere when I hear these pieces!!

obsessed with this piece tbh

Oh, my. Variation IX is so hauntingly beautiful. 😢❤

What a trio of performers! Kavakos Capuçon & Wang!? Incredible chemistry!

Not nearly as good as Ashkenazy's.

Thank you for posted this pearl ❤️

Mr. Hough is an outstanding pianist

So happy a score of this beautiful work was finally posted

I love this❤❤

they’re all sort of the same theme

Délicieuses Pieces Folkloriques 🙏🙏🙏

I hate this sonata. It's a disgusting crap made of Mozart 21th symphony. I don't like Haydn either.

Sibelius is one of the great composers of the Romantic era. Listening to the works you experience pleasant emotions. The impromtu's are very beautiful. I especially liked the fifth, also B minor is my favorite key. I am a pianist and I think that all Impromptu 's are beautiful. I believe that I will somehow play all of them myself. 😊

One of my favorite symphonic fantasies by Tchaikovsky, up there next to Romeo and Juliet

Stunning.

Am I lying if I say that I don’t’ like Tchaikovsky ? 😏

Incredible.

Guys i have a question? What Jean Sibelius composition fits perfectly with Dostoevskys book crime and punishment?

V and VI are my favorites.

This first one could be in the hunger games movies

Nr. 3, in a minor is great.

Sibelius is a great composer. These compositions, including #5 are not elements of his greatness. Only a Finn would understand why he had to compose these odd pieces. They have great didactic value but no one wants to hear them.

Thanks for posting but this composer's overrated to me

Hermosa obra!!!

amazing. sounds like slavic music

Beautifully played this music by Tchaikovsky with typically Russian nerve and emotion

Guy was a genius. The melodies just poured out of him. ❤😊😊

I believe Sibelius is the absolute master of simplicity, it's never too much and never too little.

lisitsa interprets the first in such a tender, serene way

Muy Tchaicovsky. Gracias por compartir.

Thank you for uploading this. Magnificent music!

I love his music.

Excellent interpretation by pianist Mikhail Pletnev! This piece represents the heights of Russian Romanticism.

I have never heard this one before, and I want to play it now! That shouldn't be too hard, though, considering it's simple, or relatively so, and if slowed down enough, my ears can pick out most of the notes.

Odd music. It has the Tschaikovsky nervousness.

Sibelius creates a world of Finnish dances, folk songs and spirits. A musical place unto itself, similar, yet distinctively seperate from its Viking and Slavic neighbors.

there's a really free but reserved usage of dissonance in these pieces I feel. on one hand dissonances are often unprepared, have no resolution, even sometimes function as resting or pedal harmonies, but are used relatively sparingly. very serene and interesting effect, almost bit satie-esque in my opinion (especially in the last three). also the phrases, melodies and the voiceleading in the harmonic accompaniment are often kind of blocky and unintuitive. all of that makes for a really intimate, kind of novel and weird impression. Im not entirely sure if I like it that much stylistically, but it is definitely very interesting!

I love this set. It's so quietly unapologetic. "I'm just music and I'm content with that"

Priceless.

Thanks for dropping this after 150 years good sir.
