Lugansky - César Franck - Prélude, Choral, et Fugue

César Franck (1822-1890)
Prélude, Choral, et Fugue, FWV 21 (1884)
Nikolai Lugansky
2014 Festival de la Grange de Meslay

[0:00] I. Prélude. Moderato
[5:14] II. Choral. Poco più lento
[10:18] - Poco Allegro
[11:44] III. Fugue. Tempo I°
[16:17] - Come una cadenza
[19:13] - Vivo

“A masterpiece of imposing breadth and depth, it requires complete pianism, superb legato, and a well-developed sense of polyphony. The grandiose culmination of the Fugue, where the three themes sound simultaneously, is one of the great moments in all piano literature.”

- Piano Society

Avant la fin Franck unit et superpose le prélude, le choral, et la fugue.
Un savant sensible, pur, Et modeste, on le sait. Monsieur Luganski nous donnne, pour moi, la version de référence.
Cest donc jouable cette fugue ! Merci.

[pierreguinot]

Amen, père Franck. Merci M. Lugansky.

I didn't know this piece was this much beautiful before I listen to this interpretation!! I love him so much. If it were not him, I would always fall asleep while listening to this piece around II. Choral..

Любимый пианист и Франк... непревзойдённое исполнение...

[pianistegolfeur]

Du Franck tel qu'il devrait toujours être ainsi Joué, Bravo, Lugansky ! Nous avions bien, à l'époque, notre grand Ciccolini qui était un modèle d'inspiration, mais avec un Lugansky, la relève est assurée !

[emmanueljulien]

Lugansky est vraiment un très grand pianiste.

[Saturne]

Magnifique interprétation de ce grand pianiste qu’est Lugansky. Difficile de départager avec un autre grand pianiste qui nous donne lui aussi une belle vision de cette œuvre de C. Franck. Dommage que kissin ne nous apparaisse pas en vidéo comme Lugansky.

Sagenhaft. Ich hatte diesen Brockn auch gespielt, technisch schwierigste Stellen nie verlässlich beherrschend, habe also ein Ohr für alle die Details.
Nikolai spellt aus 1001 Details, ganz und gar beglückend mich. Danke!

Mr Lugansky and his flawless Franck interpretations keep me company with studying

[kerawelt]

Truly grandiose ! The work and the performance are beyond words.

[nylehotaling]

Very excellently played- one of the most profound, pathotic romantic music works! Frankish ancestry, like Ravel... My guess is, to conquer audiences- you know, carried away utterly- this has been one of the most effective works ever, aeonically!

[PoolEnvy]

Concert pianist Dmitri Novgorodsky will be doing a live performance of this piece soon. I heard him in concert about 22 years ago.

[edwardp.gannon]

It is interesting that Lugansky, like most performers, adds the magnificent low octave B on the final note, even though it is not notated in any edition of the score. This gives it the bell-like quality we expect from the previous passage. Franck uses the note (as a C-flat) earlier in the work, so we know it was available on his piano. Why did he not use it at the end? Perhaps the timbre of this note was not good enough, or it was likely to be out of tune? Kissin is one performer who does not add the low B, but we know he can be obstinate sometimes.

Did you all know that Alexander Malofeev (21) studied with the same teacher as N. Lugansky !! I can hear that.

La prise de son est en plus excellente

[nylehotaling]

The excellent pianist, from whom some of the best recordings come, our impression might be, "The Same as us"- in fact, he had the same Celtic attribution as we do; had Leverty ancestors, as did also Brahms and pianist Zimerman. With the permanent removal from the planet of the Frisian or English Rezefede, Sign or Channel, that of this land (and U.K. also) became fully Celtic; Scottish Gaelic is the best language for us, Irish and German a little less probably surest best. Ancestors of such musicians had all made a very good decision to forsake Celtic lands, as there was a weaker Fortuna blessing and problems. The composer, one of the Noble And Great one souls, like certain others! Frankish, his Rezefede attribution, as also Ravel and Faure. Gaels and Gauls, Celtic were also in that region. Unfortunately, there is and has been a fundamental problem in this land- the English language will be a primary reason for a condition of sickness and weakness- this is not our Rezefede, one which has been Removed, long ago. The Name, contrived of a pirate land grab, U.S.A. or America is unfortunately no good either; has involved some curse; many have concurred being led astray actually, that murder and violence is a justified, legitimate way to obtain possession of a huge, rich land, by certain naturally impoverished sorts. For Blessing, Zeygunug, call it Alba Nuadh or Nova Scotia; as also to shake of the Miasm or sickness associated with these formatting dyssynchronized choices...
