[jadamercedes]

This man plays with passion that I have not heard before.......wow

[JollyRoger183]

I had no idea Anthony Hopkins can play that awesome!

[puffball9]

this is my favorite classical piece ever, really don't like playing classical music but i even play a few beethovens sometimes and this is my favorite movement of my favorite sonata.

[Chrysuss]

What an extraordinary performance and interpretation from Daniel Barenboim...it really shows what a genius Ludwig was...I still can't comprehend how someone can have such knowledge of music. Absolutely incredible

[tontaciu]

Pura poesia.

[Grimnir92]

Me gusta mucho mas la de Kempf...igual esta es muy buena.

[aetasfert]

per oggi non potrebbe esistere miglior commento...

[MrZombiedoctor]

This is the best interpretation I've ever heard.

[nyknicks1984]

I´m sure this goes in memory of Jacqueline.

[dunkymac22]

[Jpnezeshorty]

thank you for uploading -- what a gem!

[beethomozart]

never get tired of listening to this beauty, tha face that we see on maestro Baremboin speaks for itself, Beethoven, Beethoven,Beethoven..... please Ludwig forgive the music nowadays and musicians that will never understand the meaning of the word soul, feeling and infinity......

[TBW92]

This is one of my favorite songs... simply beautiful.

[ntlngv448]

aaah, this is how I imagine LOVE in music... LOVE your playing, maestro Barenboim

[wowowabzee]

i loooove this quality! it makes me feel like i'm playing ffvIi and cloud just had a flash back about the date with aeris in gold saucer and all the romanticness&heartbrokeness and it's just amazingggg.

thanks for uploading! :]

[verychrispy]

@wowowabzee lol Cloud and Aeris

I feel for ya, there's a level of nostalgia with the quality that makes me fuzzy inside

[wowowabzee]

@verychrispy lol actually another thing that comes to mind is Wall-E and EVA.

idk it's the music ahaha.

[x1Bella1x]

pretty music for sorrowful days.

[newFranzFerencLiszt]

wonderful quality

-.-

[bikingsage]

thank you

[MrOskarthebest]

No one can do better than him

[Nyxetc]

alguien ha escuchado este movimiento con Elly Ney?

[EmilyDesenchantee]

He is the best.

[bikingsage]

this makes me want to choose this as my next piece of music to start

[aCurrier]

It's worth it. It's one of my favorite pieces to play

[jbjcjb]

I love this piece of music, beautifully played, he is the best. X

[lucifer303]

The way he changes tempo is brilliant. Some interpretations maintain tempo at an almost steady speed. Barenboim is just brilliant.

[TheASHoughton]

Brilliant.

[antonfalu123]

the first pop ballad?

[DietaFinal]

My favourite Beethoven interpreter. Thanks for the superb video!

[korovamilksbar]

One of the best interpreter of Beethoven. Baremboim is so great to play these sonatas..

[Drbrowndedwarf999999]

I reckon that Artur Schnabel could play this better but this was still an awesome performance

[amantdemusique18]

he's cool!!

[Lity10]

I have a feeling this was not recorded yesterday xD lawlz Lol. D: D:

[Nikolidas]

At points there's a sort of mock confusion on his face that makes it look like he's forgotten what comes next.. Or maybe that's just me xD

[FourN16]

I don't think he could possibly forget! He must have played this for ages

[christoperfect]

He milks every last note for all it's worth... Perfect performance.

[Matthewfawr]

And only he can do it - anyone else sounds as thought they're dragging it!

[arualex]

Best version ever!

[CruelTutelage]

i love you, jan <3 <3 <3

[Rampraflash]

I can also play this movement well. No doubt he's a talent pianist, but the beginning part of this movement has got to be one of the most over-indulgent interpretations I've come across. Towards the end the speed became somewhat more 'normal' (bearable)...

[dccnyc]

Agreed. Barenboim can tend to be the King of Schmaltz on these types of movements.

[AndyShiels]

Firstly I am not a concert pianist so all of you virtusosos can ignore this comment, but I can play this piece 'fairly' well. Barenboim in my opinion over-romanticises this piece. It is not Chopin for Christ's sakes! The piece should be played exactly as the composer wrote it. No slowing down rubato nonsense, just play the piece as it was written. His canatbile is superlative but why does he ruin it by over-doing it?

[Matthewfawr]

Fair point, Beethoven is in my view, one of the great romantics.

Oh dear, have I opened another argument?!

[mcdiddy1]

Well Beethoven is a composer who bridged the Classical area to the Romantic Era so its not a far strech to think that it sounds romantic. He also was not a fan or metranome and he was well know for not following playing his own pieces! Keeping that in mind he's not altering tempo very much except at the end of phrases which is common. It sounds like he is doing a lot of tempo because of his voice leading and melodic direction

[sissichopin91]

Amazing! I can't describe what i feel listening this adagio! No music can touch me like classical! For sure!

[strumenina]

luv this movement

[redhotchiliangel]

OMG! Barenboim its probably one of the best pianist in the XXI Century!

[Matthewfawr]

IS one of the greatest pianists of the 20th century :)

[redhotchiliangel]

Yes he does. But Martha Argerich is one of the best too!

[FedericoLPiazza]

M O N U M E N T A L ! ! ! ! perfect adagio, perfect cantabile. Wish could play like this :)

[develish16]

@FedericoLPiazza hehe first u need a steinway the old piano u have at home, like in my case, wouldnt do u any good :)

[MillerMusicStudiosTV]

Lovely.....so sensitive...

[camiandmaxi]

toca con pedal?

[Barbetax]

Jajaja, me conmovió la inocencia de la pregunta, por su puesto que si!

[gofreddor]

Sublime. A great tribute to Beethoven. Devotional in the best sense of the word.

[sujimsusana]

enough...i love this sonata...

[astilleros11000rpm]

very beautiful piece... I'm a Chopin lover but this ona is something celestial...

[beethomozart]

what a precious adagio,I will never understand how could have existed a human being capable of composing such an out of this world music,it just touches infinity and the stars,long live ludwig van and by the way such an extraordinary pianist as baremboin

[astilleros11000rpm]

I think God inspired Beethoven....

[Bifrons]

@astilleros11000rpm Maybe the other way around as well :)

[zanderkov]

@beethomozart

long live Ludwig?? I suppose you mean his music. Indeed, this is a piece of music that can make men cry. I know, I'm one of them.

[Bifrons]

@beethomozart To be remembered is to be immortal.

[libetta]

@beethomozart

we do have intelligence =)

[Satanal]

Mai sentito un adagio così ben fatto... incredibile Barenboim. Che classe!

Grazie a chi l'ha pubblicato, unitamente agli altri due movimenti, parimenti impressionanti.

[musicaclasica1985]

Sorry for the video's bad quality. My video recorder doesn't work well.

Perdón por las lineas molestas en el video. Mi videograbadora no funiona bien. Espero q lo disfruten igual!

[DeyaIV]

@musicaclasica1985 No te preocupes por la imagen, la musica es lo que cuenta, el sonido es bueno.

[Bifrons]

@musicaclasica1985 It adds to the emotion :) It's like being set in a mood from a long time ago. Not that the piece doesn't do that all by itself.

[FiatObscuritas]

@musicaclasica1985 don't worry, it happens^^ . Great Interpretation! and thanks so much for upaload it!
