Beethoven Pathetique Sonata - 1st mov 「悲愴」１楽章 エリック・ハイドシェック

[Sebastian99613]

fantastic interpretation!!!

1:51 :) 

[horseladybeighton9]

I was thinking about playing the whole sonata to help with the 3rd movement, which I'm playing for grade 8. But maybe not... Absolutely amazing!

[417173ann]

it was so good!!!

[balerinamari]

bravo!



[Akrombio]

bravo to you sir.

[niklaslinux]

@TheMathePlayer I think that to, and I think all the Music from to today can't exist when somone like Beetoven don't was on the world.

All the stuff we do today is based on those things.

[bbpianos]

@TheMathePlayer

i like his words "Vom Herzen―Möge es wieder zu Herzen gehen".

it's for "Missa solemnis",but i think it's for his every pieces.

[MrShirotaicho]

played very nicely!

[Pavle245]

My favourite part is from 0:00 to 7:05.

[superidiot123456]

Unforgetable man... he was deaf and that deafness gave him an ability to write pieces as loud as he please :) I have true respect for such a man that had the mind to compose such an astonishing piece of art.

[scimmiablu992]

such a free interpretation is even more beautiful if you already know many versions of this sonata, so that the finest ruptures compared to the "exact" execution can be remarked :)

great!

[ThePoupipoupi]

Répondre à cette vidéo...  It's my granduncle guys.

[TheBlackbird100]

Awesome performance!

[d35t1201]

Music comes from Emotions, the harder, and more painful they are, the more intensivity is in the music, especially in beethoven's, 

[fairyghast1]

That's my AMUSA piano song! Well done! It sounds good!

[Zelenardiana]

2:05 My left hand gets tired around there

[pianist9425]

hmm.. at seems he doesnt keep in time during the first few bars. But his technique is great!

[MrWongga]

天才

amazing.

i want to be like him.

like this is you think this piece and this guy is amazing

[kami3704]

天才ですな。

[slh1357072]

Greatings from San Diego. Wonderfull! Makes me want to practice. Good job.

[mikeanaro20]

im started to learn this songed i just finished moonlight sonata

[huang602041]

amazing!

[limbdoctor48]

Very nicely done and it brings back fond memories of when I used to be able to play it.

[silvermonky123]

i was wondering, does he improvise a little? it sounds different in 1:47, 1:53, and starting from 2:20, the ornaments sound different than other versions, or is he just accenting the notes differently?

[mimolechien]

Rubistein said about Heidsieck: you are the unique colleague

Cortot said about him: the greatest genius I ever heard (talking about a Mozart concerto).

A far as his mere mechanical technique is concerned, try to find his ancient Scarbo recording!. But the sound (which you can absolutely not judge on this post) is among the most incredible ones. Try his Faure's Nocturnes recording for example. An what a musician!!! Not many have such a personality (hence maybe the down votes...).

[Metroidhunter07]

beautiful

[aphelion719]

awesome!! wonderful!! really~  hard to breath like usual after listening .

[Lorely4u]

I've heard many versions of this piece, including my own sad attempts, but i really like the way he treats it!!!

[hueychoi2006]

Beautiful piece

[monkeydude512]

very nice, so virtuosic and very different from other recordings. the only thing i didn't really like is he put a LOT of rubato (as in to the point where the tempo was semi-uneven)

[MrGienn]

pretty

[miep8675]

i've always wondered, how you memorize pieces like this...muscle memory *sigh*

[Coasterdude02149]

hours and hours of practise. It's not as difficult as it seems

[tomdopdakar]

No, practicing, practicing again and again :)

And you can even surprise yourself alot of time.

[teodortenchev]

Hehe, I was playing for a friend not long ago and he asked me that same thing. It is really simple just like memorizing a poem but far more exciting :)

[Madamina171]

Guys, this piece is sooo hardd to play!

[kimbec]

nice one

[AMen247]

very nice version of this piece.. I think the two of us would have a little pissing contest as far as what exactly the melody notes were in the first part of the Allegro section but that's ok. ;) I'll agree to disagree on this one. This guy really puts a nice emotion into his playing and also is very good. I like it.

[Tscheromi]

brilliant!

[rowz10]

fantastico

[kackey1120]

高3のピアノの発表会で弾きました。それはそれは、練習しました­。もう、指がつるかと。でも弾けるようになった時、本当に達成感­がありました。久々に楽譜引っ張り出してみようかな。。

[kmchoo]

que cabron se la sabe el don

[suckbar69]

Very nice.

[petiteamie82]

情感たっぷりに演奏されてて流石の一言に尽きます

いつかこのように演奏できたらなあ・・・・・

[wfkara]

can someone tell me his name(in english)? thanks.

He is really good.

[bbpianos]

his name is "Eric HEIDSIECK". thanks.

[1983slash]

Here it is, technic AND something to say. technical musicians just bull me, but this guy plays emotionally and thats a relief! just great

[oldoz09]

@1983slash I totally agree! Technique isn't everything. It's the heart that goes into it. Whether it's a vocal form of music or instrumental, it's good to have technique, but it's 'soul' that wins me every time!

[ericrouach]

agree!!

[pianofan2010]

This gives me chills in the fast dramatic part! Bravo the pianist!

[pianofan2010]

I like this piece played by a man!

[MatthewJohnIgnacio]

He is amazing!!!!!!

[yocreo]

I like how he sings the main theme, sooo smooth and almost vibration by vibration. Good and different.

[slionboy]

I'll pay over $500 just to watch his concert! Well done! one of the best!

[Darkboy2525]

Indeed dis one is SOOO diffrence of the other dis one is SOOO SOOO NICE my fafrout to ! a real difrence than the others !!

[Darkboy2525]

Dis is really nice played ...well done !

[juliekwan]

very gd !!

[vKyleValentineV]

I'm kind of mixed on my feelings here... I disagree that it's 'too fast'. I've heard (and disagreed with) faster. But I do hear a bit too much Romanticism for my tastes. Yes, Beethoven almost always had a foot in the Romantic era, but maybe not to the extent of PARTS of this interpretation (it's not all too much, but the second subject in the exposition sticks out to me)

[akm5176]

A foot in the romantic? Beethoven is solely responsible for the romatique era. And it IS Romantique, not romantic, we aren't talking romeo and juliet, we are talking about an era in time....lets not change spellings for kicks. Beethoven can not be played to romantique he is one of THE defining composers of Romantique music. Thats like playing claude debussy too impressionistic, or tchiacovsky too romantique, or arron copland(famous american composer) too americana....are we getting my point yet?

[vinzenchan]

May i ask a question :Who is he?

[bbpianos]

Eric Heidsieck

[ericrouach]

he is one of the great pianists of our time but for some reason, very few people know him, i had the chance to study few lessons with him in paris...

[mremile72]

i acutally admire this interpretation, for once i'm not hearing something i've heard 1000 times before. fantastic =)

[killurpig]

My teacher would kill me if I played it like this, lol. I don't like it fast.

[tillo1995]

I'd be killed too but not because of the tempo ... there are too many other things, he doesn't note

[FoxyUchiha112]

ROFL same.... no, he would TORTURE me THEN kill me....

[KyndalSarah]

I'm sure Beethoven played it fast and angry. He broke pianos on a regular basis.

[frodobaggins115]

Some of that was that there weren't sound boards in the pianos back then. Beethoven was pushing the limits of what a piano could do. :)

[gigorete]

too fast....

[eddfarah]

too fast??! watch freedy kempf!! I do think it´s fast too! but freedy is faster!!

[elaine3573]

wow, this interpretation is indeed very different from others. I haven't seen any like it.

[opl1n4]

I hate this world; Beethoven, people knew him and treated him like a gutted fish on the docks. What was he thinking when he wrote this piece, he was deaf and defeated by all humanity. People no doubt treated him as though they did not care. Then why?

[bbpianos]

if you listen to music only by your ears, the hearing ability is the most important for you...to say "too fast","too late","too strong","too romantic","bad recording quality"...pity

Beethoven...he was just disappointed by the state of such people than the physical situation employed him...i think so,and...i hope you should do not think by your brain but feel it by your mind.

[rubenh056]

@opl1n4 As a FACT. Beethoven was respected. He wasn't a case of VanGogh.

[mx1149209]

@opl1n4 actually Beethoven was treated like a rock-star in his time and slept with an incredible amount of women. it was until he was like 30 that he started to become deaf and eventually became mad. but he lived a really good life. And i don't care what you people think but it's true that he was a corrupt man. he wrote amazing music but he was corrupt. if you don't agree then go to music college and then tell me different.

[bibiannie2009]

I dont think he was deaf yet when we wrote this piece

[JRubenHdz]

@opl1n4 Beethoven WAS RESPECTED. And he recieved praise DURING HIS LIFETIME.

[neoanderson48]

I agree, it is too romantic. I don't think it's too fast, just too... not what I think Beethoven was trying to express. Freddy Kempf, in my opinion, plays it the best on YouTube.

[davidsonghello]

don't you think this is too fast??

[Edward3600]

In my opinion, his interpretation is really unique, for a classical era such as this. Very, romantic. ;o

[danielbriamonte]

Es una pena que ese talentoso pianista arruine esa obra con esos rubatos chopinescos y esos exagerados ritardandos, como por ejemplo los del minuto 2'15". En el "Grave" del comienzo puede admitirse alguna libertad interpretativa que implique aceleraciones y retardos, pero de ninguna manera se admiten esos dobles puntillos como los que se escuchan en 0'25", 0'46" y 0'57".

Hábrase visto!

Eso sí: el piano suena espléndido y ese señor no toca como un robot, por suerte ;)

[00Rotem00]

In my opinion, he's playing this in a too romantic way, when, even though if this -is- Beethoven, the groundbraker for the romantic music, this song is still of the classical era.

So while infusing it with so much feeling is fine by me (& very beautiful too!) I felt there were too many diminuendos, too many pace-changing "tricks".

If he didn't keep playing with the tempo romantic-style, I'd say this was perfect.

Also, does anyone know what piano this is? It's stunning!

[LenweElenya]

my great uncle!

[nel90]

This performance is not bad. I prefer the German interpretation, which does not emphasise so much on the syncopated rhythms. And yeah, a little too much rubato. IMHO, I'd prefer Freddy Kempf's interpretation.

[dorian34100]

Eric HEIDSIECK

[dorian34100]

erik Eidseik a pris des cours avec Wilhelm Kempff sur Beethoven a positano alors there are pedal there are perfect pedal...

[kkokoni]

It is a brilliant performance.

His touch is deep and lucid.

The comparison between a devilish point and an expression of feelings point is wonderful. Will being possible to listen in the concert tomorrow is the enjoyment. The image is clear and wonderful, too.
