Schubert/Liszt "Auf dem Wasser zu singen - Barcarolle" VIDEO

[tombylo]

A recording I made for my father, who loves Schubert a lot, for his 75th birthday. Any advice is welcome  .

Good job and nice tempo.
As for advice, I would say it could be more 'flowing' as if you were singing on the water .
Jorge Bolet does a wonderful thing with this piece, you should check it out.

I bet your father was very happy with this.

Kind regards,
Carl

Thank you, Carl.

I listened to Bolet's interpretation and I agree that it has a beautiful singing quality, although he plays it much slower than the recordings of the actual Schubert song (with singer, I mean) that I heard. A nice one that I listened to while I was practicing this piece is the one by Ian Bostridge and Julius Drake (

).

Well, I will go back to work some more on this piece

Best,
Thomas
