I have tears in my eyes, this reminds me of my late father so much... thank you
Thank you so much, Uri...
יפה מאוד טל! יש לך דינמיקה מעולה והרבה רגש.היה ממש תענוג להקשיב.
The best version I've heard in my whole life, I'm speechless...
So beautiful interpretation.....bravo!!
You are agenius in teh interpretation of Brahm's music. You have fully reached the depth required for the music!
Ho! What a big compliment! Thank you so much for making my weekend!
You play it so smoothly and connected, beautifully played. This is absolutely the best version of this piece I have ever heard👍
Thank you!
Wow, what a big thing to say, thank you so much... I'm so happy you enjoyed my playing..
You are an ARTIST !! Thank you for sharing !
This most beautiful version of this piece I have ever heard.
Thank you! I’m so happy you felt that!
Sometimes I like to play "judge" by scoring all CZcams performances of the same piece. Needless to say, this Intermezzo is a favorite of many pianists so the judging was quite difficult. I expected the winner to be one of the legends of piano i.e. Horowitz, Rubenstein, Van Cliburn, etc. But when I tallied all the scores, I was surprised that a young man had beat out some of the biggest names on the concert stage. That young man is you. Your interpretation of Brahms is exquisite. No one moved me the way that you did. Your fingers represent the essence of Brahms. I hope that you will 1 day share your special gift with the entire world.
I totally agree with you, glenwebb2001! I listen to this endless time. Beautifully played! Better than all the masters you mentioned. Bravo, Samnon!
Thank you so much. I do not deserve those beautiful words. You really made me very happy. Thank you...

What a great compliment. I feel I don't deserve it. Thank you so much and you made me very happy.
This is just magnificent Tal! You really should consider doing a Cd.
Ty for your interpretation of this Brahm's I enjoyed this very much. I am also currently learning this.
תודה רבה רבה, שירי :) איזה כיף
Thank you so much! You made me very happy.
Thank you so much for these beautiful words and thoughts! You really made me happy. I will ask Clara and I will think about those espressivo markings! :) Thank you again!
Tal.
@Oerndie If it means that you enjoyed- I'm very and truly happy! Thank you so much!
Thank you, Samuel.. I'm sure you will play it great in your way :)
This is absolutely stunning *-*
you made me cry
clean and smooth
I mean it. You have a big following on youtube, many of whom would probably like to own or download your Cd, (You inspired me to start learning this piece; it's so beautiful.)
I love Brahms. I would love to hear more of YOUR Brahms!
Thank you so much, Stephanie...
Beautiful.... :)
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it..
bravo! grazie.
Thank you...
This is my favourite performance of this piece on YT. You play it so beautifully man. Bravo :)
Teach a masterclass at Sydney Conservatorium? I'd be there without question!
I'll be playing this piece for performance workshop next semester, thanks for the inspiration mate :)
Thanks so much, Andrew! You made my weekend with your comment.. :-) Enjoy it next semester!! :-)
Thank you so much!!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!! I'm sure you enjoy learning this!
איזה תענוג לקרוא את מה שכתבת. אני מאד מאושר מכך. תודה רבה.
What a beautiful touch you have! This is not an easy piece. Almost Scriabin-esque! I like your top voice singing, and the way you don't mess around, you just play the piece and don't get too mannered with tempi. I have heard a rumor about the Brahms espressivo being more profound-something like the uneasiness of the North Sea. I think there are markings for espressivo that you might consider making a bit more seriously heartbreaking. Brahms was always delving in love unrequited. Ask Clara.
Toda raba!! I'm very happy you enjoyed it...
Thank you! Prego!
@seEmilyplay89
Thank you so much, my wonderful Emily!
Thank you so much...! So happy you enjoyed it. Well, I'm not too far... Our world is kind of small these days, When I'll be in Germany I will write you :-)
תענוג!!! האזנתי לכמה וכמה קטעים שלך ונהניתי מאד מדרך נגינתך . הצלילים נכנסו לנשמה. תודה.
This is just as good as it gets!
Thank you so much :)
מצוין. נהניתי מההדגשים, מהפיסוק.
Thanks!
Danke!!! :-) :-)
What piano are you playing? I touched the Steinway that Lang Lang uses when he is in Los Angeles. It was unbelievably responsive.
This is one of my favorite Brahms compositions and your playing is simply beautiful. My new favorite recording of this piece.
After 4 years- Thank you!
That performance was great.
Thank you.
amazing feeling i love it
Thank you so much!
I would like to make a quote from Shakespeare's As you like it: "O Wonderful wonderful, and most wonderful wonderful, and again wonderful wonderful...." Your interpretation of this Brahms Intermezzo is so exquisite.... Full of tranquility....So delightful to listen to....Thank you so much for this....
Richard Wibaut Thank you so much for your beautiful and wonderful words. I'm so happy you enjoyed it.
Dear Tal-Haim, it's a pleasure to listen to your very subtle approach and interpretation of music. Not only Brahms... The colours you are able te create. The depth of emotional vibes.....
Excellent performance!
Thank you!
Great performance. I think you make a good case for more even tempos and not too much drama in this piece! It seems to flow along in a dreamy way which I find most satisfying and convincing.
Thank you so much...
Really beautiful interpretation.
Thank you!
I wish I could get this on iTunes so it’s always on my phone. I listened to all available interpretations of this piece here and on iTunes - this is my favourite. And I can’t download it:((( Please record it for iTunes!
This is Steinway I'm playing on. But it's German, not American like the one in LA I think..
Sure thing!! (-:
I think the dynamic balance is really good, but I'd really expect a bit more rubato so that the tension in the piece can be better constructed, and at the same time enhancing the darkly sorrowful emotion..
Thank you for you comment and smart words!
Remarquable
🙏🏻
Thank you so much...
This is just as good as it gets!
