It´s God, it isn´t? =D

[ShadowFox37]

I am seriously so fucking tired of coming on videos like these and seeing, "WAH WAH WAH THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN JUSTIN BIEBER AND LIL WAYNE AND POP MUSIC SUCKS AND MODERN MUSIC IS ALL AUTO-TUNE TEENAGERS AND MUSIC INDUSTRY IS SHIT."

Yes, thanks, we get it. I'm 19, I've been listening to classical all my life, sure. Yes, pop music sucks, but so is the sky blue, grass green, and water wet. Thank you for making an observation literally EVERYONE already knows. Now shut the fuck up.

[lovepeace20]

@ShadowFox37 no matter what type of music we listen , it should be good made. I am sure if Mozart was in our Age, he would have been a very talented hip hop musician ! lol ..!!

[amonducius]

Mozart composed this when he was 15. Justin Beiber who?

[Byron10301]

@amonducius Well you have a choice, you can 1) celebrate TALENT, or 2) celebrate AUTO-TUNING, and teenage hype, corruption in the music industry of the 21st century and meaningless empty lyrics with melodyless badly written songs ... All it takes for bad music to go away is us ignoring it. That's sth you are NOT doing my friend, because you just mentioned the name of a non-artist. Ignore it, behave as if it does not exist, that's how u get rid of it

[churcune]

this is good but I would rather prefer this one below:

[shishirth]

One of Mozart's most gracious concertoes

[behainesanchezlf]

Simplemente hermoso....

[Byron10301]

@behainesanchezlf Ask wikipedia, and then come back and tell me - I want to know too!

[freshbongwater]

Who built the Piano?

[sydneyfc]

this is amazing :)

[88sputnik]

God has this in his i pod!

[thekoppel]

This is off the hook

[nickiz1]

long live chevy chase!

[sMakeMeGoWoWs]

The piano part wasn't really good. Yes, it's because he is a conductor. Bad articulation. no offense.. He is good

[ezdzbztz]

@sMakeMeGoWoWs Vladimir Ashkenazy = eargasms

[AgnesRegina]

@sMakeMeGoWoWs In fact, Ashkenazy was a pianist long before he began conducting. He's been playing piano since age 6. There's no fault to be found with this performance; it's graceful, brilliant, and perfectly clear.

[Bramborail]

I think this video is lovely :)

[Bramborail]

I like Mozart :)

[sMakeMeGoWoWs]

@Bramborail kkk, I play dis song too

[Bramborail]

@sMakeMeGoWoWs ok

[harrynking777]

@sMakeMeGoWoWs This isn't a song, it is a piece.

[Chaliamusiclover]

Today the January the 27th is a great day because it is Mozart birthday.

Happy birthday Maestro Mozart.

[sinamonmac]

بحبك

[sinamonmac]

اول مرة اسمعها بس رائعة

[Dogaradodia]

Certified Intergalactic!

[melancholyhumour]

I love Mozart but Bach is much better by a mile, though.

*In my opinion, that is*

[buddycanifinish]

that guys grandson goes to my school

[TruthfuLie]

At 10:17, does anyone notice that the conductor/pianist is trying to admonish a violin player (my guess is the concertmaster?) Anyone know what he's trying to say? Great performance btw!

[TheDavid2222]

Im going to be playing oboe in this piece for my youth orchestra. Im UBER excited!

[Thunderflower367]

haha what a badass, conductor and piano soloist in one sitting

[sophelet]

Wonderful performance--naturally very well executed, but also tasteful, elegant, sparkling, and at ease. Ashkenazy's hands are so calm, too. A dear friend of mine just performed this last weekend. Interesting to see how different yet how effective a variety of interpretations can be. Lovely.

[mozzrt]

Hate it just because the piano isn't in it from the beginning, you are listening to the master of all masters, he did it like they used to do, so what? Since this is Mozart, you take what you get and is forever thankful, understand?

[sophelet]

@mozzrt This is typical for concertos of this time. The orchestra starts with one theme, and the solo instrument comes in with another, and it's all knit together.

[mozzrt]

@sophelet Yes, I was ironic, look at the posts before!

[syuzik712]

An amazing, wonderfull artist! Bravo Ashkenazy! =)

[satyu131089]

why is it that i like everything that ashkenazy plays? or is it the same to all?

[daytonmlivingston]

I hate it when composers make like the first two minutes of a piano concerto all orchestra! Come on give me the piano!

[flowforms]

@daytonmlivingston this is just the classical form. It was not until Mendelssohn that this started to change. The orchestra states the themes to come. everything isd formal like their lives were and other arts

[ironmanboy]

@daytonmlivingston try Mozart Piano Con. 9! Piano right off the bat!

[dmcII]

When someone mentions Ashkenazy, I don't usually think of Mozart. But he plays this wonderfully. Thanks for posting !

[xiuje87]

charming

[desmone1]

Simply amazing!

[intelectus1]

genial de genio y para genios.....sobrado...

[meredith21846]

Ashkenazy has always been a fine Mozartian. Great poise, refinement and musicianship.

[lazawrcat666]

im starting this piano concerto as my first one with my school chamber orchestra looks like itll be fun!

[iguarni]

I don't know how is able to understand italian but this performance is: MERAVIGLIOSA!!!!!

[yaoifangirl1800]

Can't wait to play this. XD

I'll be second violinist. It's for this kid's performance class. Just about one month more to get ready. XD

[mleonsmith]

good luck... or shall i say break a leg?

[yaoifangirl1800]

Both is fine. XD We won't be playing it as fast, but it will definitely be almost professional in level. Thanks very much!

[darkdemonded]

break a hand XD

[afertyus1000]

write the theme tune sing the theme tune,bit like little britain taking the mick out of dennis waterman in minder

[Pauliwog13]

This is a truly spectacular performance which can not be compared. Thank jobotia for posting this wonderful video. 5/5

[peterrabbit1999]

To iguarni,

What do you mean about the mozart is playing?

[Pauliwog13]

To peterrabbit1999,

He deosn't litteraly mean that mozart is playing. He just ment that he truely is good and it is very mozart like

[iguarni]

Hi, I meant that he seems Mozart himself playing such is awesome is the music!!!!

All the best.

[22diamonds22]

Just began learning this. It's a joy to play and to listen to!

[pollybird101]

nice

i rely like this song-

but i normally HATE this kind of music

[aleksandarjankovski7]

Such pure, golden, crystaline tone. Superb articulation, execution, and unmatched musicianship. Quite marvelous.

[iguarni]

5:10 Mozart is playing!!!

[Grigor99]

Where did this idea of conducting from the keyboard come from anyway? Was it some cost-cutting idea by some corporate big-wig??

[henripche]

Actually, it stems from tradition: Mozart (as well as his predecessors and contemporaries) used to act in the triple capacity of composer, pianist and conductor for his piano concertos. A seperate conducter really only became necessary when the orchestras became larger, the orchestral writing more elaborate, and probably the pianists less capable of doing the job (as they grew more and more narrowly specialistic).

[Grigor99]

Ah, very interesting! I am going to begin promoting myself as the Trifecta musician to show that even in this horrendous economy you can still save money in the arts!

[dmcII]

Except that its been going on for quite a while even when times have been good. Admittedly its not the norm, but it never completely disappeared either. I've only seen it done with performances of Mozart's work (search YT on Mitsuko Uchida - she does the same on another Mozart PC). But I'm sure there are other performances where the soloist doubles as the conductor.

[isayhi72]

The soloist conducting is Mozart's legacy, which I think is incredible. Also, when he wrote these concertos, he only wrote out the parts for the orchestra and improved the piano part he played. :)

[ITSANAZNOMG]

your gross

[mehertoorkey]

Why is it that any ignorant fool gets away with posting tastelessly filthy comments?Why is there no moderator?

[AsSomedayItMayHappen]

Yes, because squelching someone's opinion is totally aligned with the Enlightenment ideals that Mozart himself championed. I can't believe I'm defending that trash, but he has the right to think whatever he wants about whatever music he wants. Sorry...

[TjAoM]

ur so right about that thumb... it's awfully looong!! =D Love that piece... we're playing it in april... but I doubt we'll be this good ;)

[Cavaradossi1981]

leider sehr künstlicher klang... sind Sie überzeugt? aber technische Sicherheit hat er, daß kann man ihm lassen.

[I3ubbles000]

this was reallyyy good :D~#@#$

[7xJoey]

Awesome, I enjoyed this a lot.

Haha, 1:07 That thumb is really long.

[ruse95]

bellissimo sia il concerto che ashkenazy nella sua interpretazione.

[jockmacrocks]

oh non parlato italiano per tanti anni, ma io piache tutto italiano, ma mozart e favaloso nella sensa che in 35 anni era una genius con musica, lui scrito musica in molto lingua ect ect musica e solo e buono e la composer ?

[Rayaya6]

i play it 2.. im 15(:

and.. mm ireally liked it..

tnx for postind this vide!

[beethomozart]

long live mozart

[chelscabob89]

i love this song. my friend played this at my college. IT ws AMAZING

[setioy]

but this is no song - it`s a concerto by Mozart

[gcm33170]

gcm33170. Thanks a lot for posting the entire concerto which is I think, not very often performed. Do you happen to know where and when the performance took place?

For the ones who love Ashkenazy, there's a complete and superb Brahms 1 on you tube( conductor is C-M Guilini with the L-A orchestra, from the early 80's.)

[jobotia]

gcm33170: The entire concert was recorded at the Christian-Zais-Saal, Wiesbaden in Germany, 2 December 1990. Glad you liked it.

[nageko123456789]

Does anybody know what orchestra is playing in this recording?

[t3hwasabi]

Royal Philarmonic Orchestra. (says in the description)

[BachFong11]

I would like a little more attention to detail with holding some notes, and attention to the slurs, but I like it.

[Tuttiplaya]

great performance!!

hehe... i love his face at the end of the movement.. :)

[Shredissimo]

There is one of my favourite themes by Mozart at 5:20...

[cattleman6420012000]

I love Ashkenazy's playing.

[marcialetti]

Estos interprétes piensan que mozart no sabía lo que era un forte. Claro! eso es patrimonio de beethoven...

[ixcuincle]

Brilliant.

[escamillo222]

Ashkenazy is amazing: Particularly on the first cycle of Beethoven PCs he did with Solti/CSO: How he plays with such ferocity and still retains the musical sensitivity is beyond me.

[kokomozart]

best pianist ever

[ed2276]

I don't know about that. We all have our individual favourites , I suppose. Just limiting the subject to best Mozart pianist ever , rather than best all-around pianist , my vote goes for Murray Perahia.

[CreationArtist]

One of my favorites as well, written for J. C. Bach.

[kasianodeimola]

merci,merci,merci...

[slobo1987]

I love it when conductors concuct sitting at the piano. Looks fun. Pretty piece though.

[eaaronforyou]

Mozart war ein Genie!

[kampfwicki]

ach was..

[926lala926]

beauty! lol! i played this with orchestra too!

[chensterr]

one of my favourite concertos!!
