The first note of this cadenza is OUT OF RANGE of Mozart's piano. Not good. Just saying.

[hazelssister]

This pianist , Orchestra, and piano even though it is a Steinway sound mediocre at best . It is hard to listen to after one has heard the Cleveland Orchestra and Casadeus or Entremont or Ax or Watts etc.,

[hazelssister]

No orchestra or pianist I have ever heard comes close to The Cleveland Orchestra and Robert Casadesus performing  this including the way the piano sounds here.

[FoucaultXXX]

The enchanting melody of Mozart has the ability to heal psychological wounds. Each time his finger touches the clavier, water-colored memories cross my mind. His sincere personal character seems to shine through in a sensitive performance.

[kgclark01]

You and Andrea Bocelli should get together.  Let me know when that happens.

[sillysanchez]

Oh and by the way, you play this so well. You are actually my first choice when I specifically want to listen to this concerto. Well done!

[parencibia]

Yes, the timing is challenging. That's why if you are able to play on top of different recordings and be able to follow the orchestra, you will feel much more comfortable.

Yes, Brahms 2nd Concerto is definitively in my plans but I am not sure yet when it will become a reality.

Thank you and thanks to all the other visitors as well, who have left nice comments and even some recommendations...

[louismagie]

Thanks for responding.

The major problem I have the timing. When to start etc ...

I'll try to upload it soon. Thx again.

Are you gonna play the Brahms 2nd concerto soon. I think you said to me that but I'm not sure if it was you.... :)

[louismagie]

Hi Pablo,

Once again it's still a pleasure to hear you playing. I was wondering how do you practice a all concerto with orchestra. Do you have any tips?

Thanks again.

[parencibia]

@louismagie Thank you for your comments!

Practicing a concerto with orchestra is challenging because obviously you don't have the orchestra with you every day but you need to think about the end result when you work in the piano part.

One simple thing that helps is to play in the piano some of the orchestra parts while you study so that in your mind you can keep the conceptual continuity. Also trying to play on top of some recordings can give you helpful information.

Good luck!

[sillysanchez]

@parencibia Ever try Music Minus One? I have it for this concerto and Beethoven's 5th concerto. Your timing has to be impecible but I find it really helps.

[parencibia]

@sillysanchez No, I didn't know it. Thank you for the information and your comments!!

[harry4241]

very good pianist and orchestra, sorry if I just suggest you to play Mozart a little more softly. you're great, anyway

[Rumonik]

Every time if I listen to your work, I feel that you form a unity with orchestra, conductor and composer. Unique! Thank you Pablo!

[parencibia]

Thank you very much for taking the time to write your messages, for all of them. I read each of them carefully and with true interest!

[Ledamonster]

LOVE YOU!!! You play the notes exactly when I expect and wish them to be played... I play this too... SO fun! Nicely Done!

[telephilia]

Don't think there's anything provincial about this ensemble. Venezuela has one of the most highly developed classical music cultures in the world.

[parencibia]

Muchas gracias a todos por los comentarios. Me alegro de que esta música sea grata incluso para quienes no son asiduos de la música clásica, eso tiene un valor especial.

Definitively there are many great musicians in Venezuela, unfortunately many unknown.

[NoemiSaray]

Que buena interpretación, me parece que tocas excelente, felicitaciones! creo que le pones el sentimiento exacto, suena hermoso, no me gusta mucho el clásico pero este concierto me encanta sobre todo en el minuto 7:55. Bravo!! gracias por tan bella música.

[balayan68]

Venezuelans are great classical music enthusiasts.

Maestro Dudamel, from Venezuela, is now a Hollywood star,

I mean a MEGA-STAR !!!

[KalleVL]

Bien!! Muy bien:-)

[piedijon]

Me encanta la energia que das cuando el piano entra

[soyjardinera]

[parencibia]

Hola Jardinera:

¡Muchas gracias por tus comentarios!

Yo tuve mucha suerte con los maestros con los que estudié. Por mencionar algunos: Marisa Romera, César Rangel, Guillermo González y Belén González. De todas formas te invito a visitar mi sitio web donde está la lista completa:

¡Gracias!

This was a great performance. But the trill that opens was awful, it is scored as an A and all I heard was B.

Also, when the piano takes up the fugette like theme that the strings start with it should be staccato.

[michal1810]

Why pianists plays some pasages before first trill? In Peters Etidion there's no pasages. Only trill

I don't know what's this

[parencibia]

Hi Michal:

This is called a "fermata". It was a very common practice in the classic period to include small additions in certain passages where the music is paused. Improvisation was much more common in the XVIII century than nowadays in classical music. For example, if you look for different versions of the second movement of this concerto, you will find many added trills and other ornaments.

[michal1810]

thanks

[parencibia]

Thank you for all your comments! I really appreciate them.

[sicnarf25]

i love how the piano enters this concerto...as if to say, 'hey now, im taking over ...please move out of my way.'

[letnamsiew]

GREAT MUSIC FROM A GREAT COMPOSER !

[parencibia]

Thanks a lot for your comments!

Yes, this piano sounded a bit sharp in some areas of the keyboard. In fact, this particular piano is not being used anymore for concerts because it requires major reconstruction. It was a magnificent piano in other times. Rubinstein in person signed it because he was cautivated because of its sound.

[letnamsiew]

More please !!

[flyingsnow918]

WOW your great!! Handsome too /wink. THanks for posting one of my favorites.

[skrie]

A very nice performance.

I really like your playing. I don't like the piano though... it's too sharp. I'd like to hear you playing it on a more round piano.

It's just a personal preference though. :)

So, keep it up. I wish I could play like this (too lazy etc etc )

[rodoShaolin2]

hermoso concierto y presentación.

felicitaciones

[sammie101234]

for some reason, during the passages i cant feel any emotion.

[Roseburg93]

I always enjoy the first and third movements of the 21 most. I suppose the second gets over played.

[OrangeSodaKing]

by the way, which candenzas did you use? i played august winding's cadenzas

[parencibia]

Hi, thanks for listening and leaving your comments. I wish you the best and an opportunity to play with orchestra!

These cadenzas are the ones played by John O'Conor.

[OrangeSodaKing]

great job with this piece! i can play this movement (i'm in high school) but not this good

i've always wanted to play it with an orchestra.

[parencibia]

Thank you for your comments Pickles and Scott. I feel so happy when I see my playing is transmitting something to others... Yes, it's me playing.

[pickles1957]

Pablo, this is my favourite Mozart concerto. Thank you for playing it so beautifully. You are magnificent. x

[scottturner1994]

Excellent, I enjoyed watching this a lot.
