[arg3rich]

He plays simply great!!

[Sviolinist]

Best orchestra in the world.

[TheCat1900]

Thanks for posting this video. I love Michelangeli's interpretation of the Beethoven concertos as well as his many other piano performances. I have this CD and always marvel how beautiful the music is everytime I listen. He is a true artist and the sounds he made from the piano is unbelievable.

Do you also have movement 1 & 2 of this concerto?

[ilpianista89]

Due geni italiani della musica!!

[pointreyes6]

This is how Beethoven played it

[FurutayoshimotoAgon]

his best performance in 1979

[afertyus1000]

lovely camerawork what geniuses they both were

[cirosuperiore]

michelangeli shows absolutely NO emotions whatsoever...unbelievable 

[johnpearcey]

@cirosuperiore - you're such a fool.

[quinnman0627]

@cirosuperiore

you could not be more wrong

[davlak2]

a monster of POETRY and TECHNIQUE!

best third concert ever heard.

I love to be italian when I listen to ABM and GIULINI.

[iguarni]

@davlak2 Anche io sono orgoglioso di essere un loro connazionale!

[DuduKorg]

I have this CD.... it was one of the biggest musical influence of my life... I have heard this concerto hundreads of times! No words... a dream interpretation!

[gorgiadilentini]

When ABM is in the right musical mood he is definetely unapproachable by any other pianist

[jklolugetit]

dangg...wished i had his technique...would make life a whole lot easier...

[NemoProkofiev551]

He plays with such ease and concentration... truly admirable. Glorious technique!

[maxreger100]

The claim that Michelangeli did not play "spontaneously" is rubbish. That he was ultimately prepared and that fingerings were all in order should be the norm for ANY concert artist. It was instead the facility which he showed, the control, the touch, plus a wonderful sense of line that left people--especially pianists--dumbfounded.

He was an enigma. Plenty of people play all the notes, but then there is the serenity,light and communicativeness that is Michelangeli. Those who heard him live--!!

[JonForLakers]

[lulare1234]

Sublime!!!

[bachkwt]

this piece is very hard but michelangeli makes it look sooooo easy

[gjamesp]

Thanks...I had this piece years ago and my hard drive crashed with my entire collection...Never mind the quality of the video...the performance was superb...

[GMEERTENS8888]

I'm sorry, to me the sound is just awful.

The constant hiss,unless your hearing is impaired...

[OzzyKingofKings]

My good man, if you're the sort who cannot even tolerate this kind of recording quality (which is actually quite tolerable, considering...), then I'm sorry to say that you're cutting yourself off from a large portion of the greatest musical testaments in the history of recorded sound.

A fascinating performance this one is, by the way.

[iguarni]

A genius!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[frederickfrederikfre]

Adoro questo concerto

[frederickfrederikfre]

Super

[GBV1961]

meraviglioso......

[kempff95]

what an archestra!(and ofcourse the pianist!)

[wironalga]

Benedict and Michelangiolesque, what a formidable name!

[werewethere]

Never heard this concerto played this way; what a wonderful interpretation.

[Sinfoniette]

This is a really amazing performance; too many great pianists seem to just take this movement much too seriously and technically and usually the strength needed in this piece is lost. This is a rare exception. Another favorite of mine is Arrau/Klemperer, the sheer power of it is amazing, but this is another one of my favorites. Could you please post the other two movements? Thank you for this one, though.

[w3sp]

Somehow ... just perfect.. :)

[bluesyboypete]

perhaps too perfect. Not technically, but musically. It is too polished. Michelangelli was famous for never improvising on the stage but having every single detail thought-out and planned. Not as spontaneous and energetic as the russian folks

[cmec429]

I think best performance on youtube...

[OriginalBasaliskos]

@cmec429 Clearly you haven't heard Biret play it.

[Jyuushirou2]

bravo
