Gilels plays Beethoven: piano concerto no.3 (5/5)

[natia56]

Amazing piece of music is performed by amazing master of piano!!!

Gilels is the god of piano!

when I listen his records I guess that while he gets older he plays better and better with his age!!!

BRAVO!!!

[yasserzarei]

that finale is amazing!

[sessionmessiah]

Beethoven third and fourth piano concertos are still the highest peak in the history of Music. can' t believe that one person could capture EVERYTHING worthy and beautiful about Life and Love ...Romantic composers will never die.

[kyleclef]

the conductor is REALLY scary looking..does a good job though. gilels is amazing :P

[comalley0130]

how could anyone give this a thumbs down?

[Missmonroes]

Went to one of the few concerts of classical music I have ever been and listened to this beauty. I'm now in love with classical music and I am trying to explore more.

Thank you for posting this video!

Peace and Love for all.

é maravilhoso pois também toco beethoven



[brumap1]

Gilesl is genius.



[reydeloshunos3]

simple y sencillamente FORMIDABLE pero comulgo con uno de los que escribe en uno de los otros movimientos tocando Brahms es SUBLIME y creo que es uno de los mejores pianistas junto con Kempff, Richter, Arrau, Chrysler, Brendel, Rubinstein, y muchos otros que por el momento no recuerdo, pero ya por ahi vienen sonando algunos muy buenos como Kissin, y Valentina Igoshina y directores pues para mi gusto el ultimo de los muy buenos, Zubin Meta. En fin gracias por subir este tipo de conciertos.

marvellous! gilels plays with such effortless beauty and ease; his sound is utterly magnificent and heavenly; golden. I love the piece; fantastic motive with great rhythm and as always by the maestro, Beethoven, is wonderfully powerful.

[Moon0Royalty]

The applause lasted for over a minute! I am not one to criticize, for I cannot play better than Gilels.

[jewish1972]

suena + a Mozart k a Beethoven

[vvsivakumar]

Can someone pls identify the orchestra and conductor ? Is that Paavo Berglund ?

[adambomb30]

Yes it's Berglund with the Philharmonia Orchestra. Hope that helps :)

[Parparim61]

He really brings out the left hand throughout this movement--more so than the other pianists I heard. I like it.

[rva25]

I don't like it at all. Too much academician and too boring...Listen to Arrau with Otto klemperer... FANTASTIC

[Sinfoniette]

I agree. Its my favorite performance of it!

[Sinfoniette]

However, I don't find this interpretation as inferior as you describe it. But again, I'm not too much of a critic; maybe its just my love of this last movement.

[justinneversleep]

never got tired of watching this

[justinneversleep]

never got of watching him playing this !!

[justinneversleep]

thanks for uploading it

i wouldn't expect that many mistakes from Gilel. he even forgot the piece at some stages

[portoxali]

In general, the interpretation seems to be too soft, quite and passive, and the orchestra especially feels like being in a dream like state. To me this concerto requires more impulsive and forceful interpretation and we do not find it here. Gilels made some technical flows and seems to be playing not his best conc.3. Despite this fact, he sounds mature and calm, confident in his playing. My overall estimation is that this performance is not as convincing as expected from such a master.

[slimes23]

I know what you mean I like a bit of a harsher rhythmn at times like 0:50-1:07

[pusjasha]

Could you take, pls, some information - year and place of this record and who is dirigent?

[galapz]

Amazing Video. So much unforced power in his sound and brilliance at the same time.

Thank you again.
