Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli plays Beethoven sonata nº 3

[iif5]

This is the best interpretation i found so far. favorited

[Stratadelic]

Never trust a man with a mustache!

[rmagnomarketing]

In Brasile ci sono tanti bambini nei conservatori che vogliono essere come Michelangeli, vedono il suo grande talento su youtube e vanno alla scuola suonare il pianoforte. Michelangelo è unico ed eterno.

[iguarni]

@rmagnomarketing qui invece impazziscono per Costantino o Corona!

[FurutayoshimotoAgon]

is this Glenn's Piano?

thanks for uploading!

[miciog79]

Un patos misurato , calibrato fino allo stremo ...

un'espressività così profonda che nn necessità inutili fronzoli .

La musica era tutta per lui ... è sua , è la cosa più intima e profonda nella sua anima ...

guardarlo in qualsiasi sua interpretazione è pura estasi per i sensi ...

[yusukeundisolde]

big hands!

[ConradHansen]

Je häufiger ich diese Aufnahme hört, desto besser gefällt sie mir! Erstaunlich! Meistens ist es umgekehrt.

[ConradHansen]

Na, da hat aber Maestro Michelangeli schon inspiriertere Einspielungen dieser Sonate vorgelegt. Aber welcher Pianist erreicht heutzutage selbst dieses Niveau? Niemand.

[Mari94Air]

his technique is amazing!!!Beethoven is my favorite composer!!!!!!!

[andeanphoto]

A great pianist! Period

[jdchopin]

awesome technique, and use of natural arm weight! great to study an watch!

[nicholasdewaal]

Nothing is better than a great pianist playing such a fantastic sonata. I love Beethoven!

[Ray0X0]

Perdón, pero pienso que nadie se compara al maestro Claudio Arrau en esta sonata y en Beethoven en general, esta difícil sonata es simplemente maravillosa interpretada por él... (en mis vídeos favoritos la pueden encontrar)

[freeqwerqwer]

I prefer Emil Gilel's version better which is a more rigid, taut, monasteric, and dark mood. This playing is not really going anywhere because it lacks imagination and soul..

[brassmonkeyjew]

I agree! This pianists lacks a soul and has no imagination. But that doesn't mean he doesn't offer something to this piece, worth listening to. I actually rather like his lighthearted take on this otherwise dexedrinious piece.

[mightysmeagol]

@brassmonkeyjew

I agree! This pianists lacks a soul and has no imagination.

Well calling myself mightysmeagol; suppose to be a dreamer but plz man wake up.

Who are you to judge the masters from the past in this ordanary way.

For sure don't look good on you.

He is my favorite!!! I love him!!!

[TheFlintAve]

WOW Its very nice!!!

[superjam18]

What are the qualifications to earn the title

"pianist"?

[username1p]

This guy is my new fav.

[enantiodrom]

ho l'impressione che si tratti degli studi della radio tv canadese, il concerto di beethoven imperatore che glenn gould registrò con la cbc, avvenne appunto come sostituzione di a benedetti michelangeli che annullò l'impegno. la scenografia è la stessa

[iloveaccompanying]

So how come he left Italy? And where did he go? His playing is so controlled!

[frederickfrederikfre]

Dove non c`è "anima" non c`è Musica.Michelangeli è tutt`Anima

[iguarni]

Che commento perfetto! Lo apprezzerebbe anche il Maestro di sicuro.

[GBV1961]

il Pianista......l unico....

[marianomanto]

q tranquilidad que transmite verlo tocar a este hombre

genio

[manticore1962]

Nessuno come Lui. Ne prima ne dopo.

[gggccc888]

Che spettacolo!! Ma è finto o esiste veramente qualcuno che riesce a suonare così...? Che fenomeno, da non crederci, non ho parole....

[iguarni]

Il miglior commento del web!! Bravo!!!!!!

Anche io impazzisco a sentirlo suonare!!

[flouz2]

Le toucher du XXe siècle !!!

[turesalvol]

grandissimo, spero di fare questa sonata per il compimento medio...

[lisztbest]

il tocco magico di Beedetti Michelangeli é ormai leggenda per ogni "musicista"

[wolfgangcrysostomus]

Excelente Pianista, el si que sabe como se debe tocar a Beethoven, muy buena tecnica

[adrct]

Beethoven's early sonatas are really mozartian! Great rendition by Michelangeli. I find him the best interpreter of these pieces.

[LiradeTerpsichore]

adrct

lol. michelangeli makes them mozartian!

[requiemaeternam7]

some ways they're more clementian

[punkpoetry]

the adagio of this sonata is no less beethovenian than that of the Hammerklavier

[antoinezygfryd]

Quel génie du toucher!

[Paboll]

2'17'' staccato à la Mozart

[grisinrubata]

è uno dei più grandi pianisti che siano esistiti, un grande

[atsaka]

grandissimo!

[iguarni]

@grisinrubata BISOGNA URLARLO!!! Sono orgoglioso di essere un Suo connazionale!!!!!

[fredpierce08]

I've not heard him play Beethoven before. His Chopin & Schumann playing was peerless. He had an uncanny knack of making difficult works seem easy. Often Beethoven's Sonatas are played as vulgar, bravura trifles, which omit their amazing power, feeling & emotion. Rhythm is the key in Beethoven, important yes but he always demands more from a pianist. This Sonata,#3 of Op 2, is a deliberate piece of showmanship for the youthful B, to brag, but is often ruined by reckless playing, eg. its finale.

[thomaskoo]

Right, considerable showmanship at that time.

[requiemaeternam7]

no musicians like this will ever again be born.

[dpkaiser]

Nice octaves from 2:32.

[mikezzzaaa3]

He loved his chooreography and carefully managed his appearance on these recordings that is for sure. But the music is also brilliant.

[robertotomare]

paolobelgium, suck my dick, in your country the piano has not even discovered yet...

[amadeusmozzart]

perfect!!!

[ilovescarlatti]

ABM super.... as usual!!!!!

[paolobelgium]

Obviously he left Italy. A genius can't survive in the country where only friends girlfriends and nephews can succeed

[jolythefreeman]

totally agree with you

[bubylugo88]

I agree!!!!!!!!!

[robertotomare]

at least we gave the world composers, pianists, musicians and many other artists in all arts..italian is the language of music, and I m proud he was Italian; but michelangeli left italy for other reasons and not for success, he was already famous at that time..

[donniecatalano]

paolobelgium - I agree 100000% with you, that's the sad truth.

[federicoroll]

simply the best
