Sad state of the musical taste in the 21st century ...say no more....and yet the BBC Proms command huge audiences. Not sure if there is an answer...get Britney Spears to say that classical music is cool?
@RODOLFITO2241 Don't be sad about of our musical taste, we are making a certain developement. And if half a billion likers would press the button for Brendel, I would get doubts about him. Listen what he has to tell at 5.09
And before anyone writes anything I know Taubman's not a he. Typo.. Nothing against her and her teachings, as I have no direct experience of them But the whole thing simply isn't that straightforward. Everything about Brendel is individualistic including his technical approach. It's worked marvellously well for him to date, and he's 80.
brendel has faulty technique. there must be a lot of stuff he cant play. 1:46 thats "individual-finger-force technique" leads to poor execution of passages, and ultimately hand injury. research TAUBMAN method for more information
@callenishss has anyone got a textbook technique? Even something such as posture we all have our variations. Standing and walking is probably the most common thing to all of us, yet we could probably correct a large percentage of the population. Something intricate as piano is bound to have all sorts of variations.
@jabeoo1 all professionals go by "drop whole arm and rotate wrist". there are no variations in them trying to attain the same result, but minor differences in how much the momentarily unplaying fingers lift to avoid striking unwanted notes. any other minor differences are trivial.
I've read some pretty silly comments on youtube over the years, but this takes somes beating. Are you really serious? Brendel played concerts from, what was it, 1948 until 2008 of a more or less consistently amazing standard. His technique barely, if ever, let him down in all that time. And who was "Taubman" exactly? Yes, I know who he was, but you get what I mean... Possibly time for a little re-think?
@Eichenwald144 i think what callenishss means is that all techniques are based on the fundamental concepts of drop arm and rotate arm enough so that there is no tension but there are tiny variations and that alfred brendel is on the less safe side. oh well...
I remember watching this when it was broadcast on french/german TV channel arte back in 2003-it was my TV highlight of the year-you not always want or need to know much about perfomers private life or person in the classic industry,but Brendel is different in many ways-very nice to watch this-the man-not just the pianist. Grateful to have this released by Opus arte on DVD. A legacy in lifetime.
Just imagine how it was 100 years ago. One could only hear this wonderful music if you went to a concert. Then recordings came along and made this music available to just about everybody. Now with the internet there is a second revolution. Now we are able to find all the background information we want. Being able to watch documentaries like this one is just so great...
from 7:08 you hear folk music, what reminds me very much of : Sutartinės , folk music from Lituania, where two or more groups of singers sing not in thirds but in seconds !
I am captivated by every one of his performances! The fact that he is so modest and humble makes me enjoy the spirit of his playing all the more. He makes heart smile and my soul dance :O)
Im not saying his Schubert is bad I just think hes playing it a bit too rushed. Horowitz in Vienna playing that impromptu is the most beautiful version Ive ever heard but thats my opinion
I love the way he says "Im completly at a loss to explain why I made it" :D I dont like his Schubert though but his Beethoven Sonatas are the best Ive ever heard
the fact that this video has 20 000 views and a stupid Britney Spears has over 4 millions, says a lot about the society we live in and about people in general . that aside, Mr. Alfred Brendel is undoubtedly one of the greatest minds and talents we have had the privilege to admire.
But it's being very difficult for me to live surrounded by [their?] garbage. In everything, from food to clothes' fabrics, plastic shoes, the packaging of cereals and shampoo, the trashing of landscape & architecture, the cheap interior materials etc etc. etc. More than surrounded: - the pangarbage invades my life, especially the more I share it with others. But I am so, so, so gregarious! I am therefore in dis-ease. My loss, not my gain...
i see what you mean, and i agree, but its a bit unfair...brendel has chosen to stay out of the limelite, britney (who i can't stand) has done opposite, she does her career simply to get recoqnision and fame. so thats why she has so many more views, everyone already knows about her, becuase shes always on the news!. but i know what you mean, and i agree.
I just think that there is not enough exposure to classical music and the world's greatest musicians like Brendel. What I know about classical music, composers, and musicians, I've had to go out and look for.
True. Its a pity that classical music is much less appreciated that it could. I mean, it has pretty much every thing, It covers the entire range of human emotion...from Bach to Stravinsky. I used to listen to classic rock and many other forms of music, but once I got into classical realized that it has EVERYTHING. Yet people go listen to elevator music like Yanni or Andre Rieu.
What is needed is innovative marketing and passiion. Benjamin Zander is showing us the way.
hey 666 ....ve a look at "alfred brendel shreds beethoven"...hehehe.. probably u will stop ur nasty comments about the great and u will discover the serious artist finally! ;))))

Uhmmm kahojada sometimes i think serously if Brendel maybe has a kind of direct "Heaven" voice who explain to him the real knowledge of the ancient masters.......yatataaa... yatataaa... and the yatata conductor maybe is learning that maybe too.. LOL.
So funny they look somteimes like they are platings a kind of horror movies....and gay maybe? . :-)

xox,u re right 666,on schubert-brendel impromptu clip there is somone who has [lol "a religous experience listen to this"lol]!! - well...in one point u re not right whether he might be gay or not: i would say gays do play the piano much better than mr.brendel,thus he isnt!!!
yea he sometimes looks escaped from dr.caligari......;))
as to simon rattle i only can say i´m suffering that he´s still conducting the berlin philharmonic,the orchestra ocasionally sounds like a country band!

But of course even between gays, are gays ...and gays........ Is much better if Brendel is not gay, becuase playing like that and gay......my GOD. LOL...hahahaha. And so ugly to find a couple...... But i dont think he is gay, just a kind of snob, exhibicionist (under humble loocking) and of coure ugly.....Somebody wrote time ago, his

What ??.............
Well . it´s incredible how sometimes when you really don´t take too much interest in some musician, orchestra, etc. you forget to actualize your information.
I really (despite is a great orchestra) never enjoyed too much Berlin Philarmonic, becuase i hate Karajan conducting. Despite he was considered one of the great, for me he was a kind of bluff, and a person with an extreme very good luck. I considered his music aproach a kind of: Speed before anything else.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
----> jerky conducting ( he use to move his arms just exactly in opposite symetrecal direction) and with pseudo "relaxing " habits...etc. In other woirds i just hate hius conducting. And as a person he was worst ( for me). Finally when Abbado came, it was a kind of musical resurrection of that orchestra... new breath ..new no "Dogmatic" aproach, new life.... It sounds a kind of Austro-Italian spirit like a Mozart alive music. Later on Abbado was changing littel by little his conducting

----> which became more hystrionic then musical (after his disease) , and i lose any interest in listen recordings of that orchestra and in the last times, never we had a coincidence in our schedules and at the same time the places where we play. So i lost contact with Berlin Philarmonic, and i was thinking : Tht F.. yatataa... (S.R.) is conducting too many times this orchestra............And LOL... he was the chief conductor. hahahaha.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
-----> HOW such an orchestra could need the conducting of that jerk. Under my personal point of view, he is the most closest conductor to the amateurish conducting of Ozawa, who i consider among the famous, the worst conductor on earth....
Well in otehr words: I was so far form listening any recording of Berlin Philarmonic....i just din´t realize what was the chief conductor. :-) Unbelievable.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
...yea,all came from wilhelm furtwängler,the orchestra was completely involved in his sound and the personality,but also in the "3.reich"[have a look at my hp:"the reichsorchester"]but karajan formed it more and more as to his ideas,especially precision and the certain colours,he surely is a great orchestra educator but also a careerist who got into"nsdap"three times because it was of use for him.but i also like the vienna´s more and its pretty suspicious for me:bach,mozart,haydn->karajan-no!;))
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
..what i´m pretty angry about is the question:what a great virtuoso could he ve become with that background,musical,intellectual and the "austrian background" as well,but he hasent,thats real tragic and that makes me upset because he plays the "vienna classics" on the highest level.another thing is that he doesnt know his limits,perhaps its vanity or being subborn not to concentrate on his strengths,so one must say he isnt a half virtuoso,no he isnt any virtuoso on the pianoforte!b a d! :((
And .........who fuck is Brendel to think he "Has" the correct reading and the inner intention concerning the will of the composer?? Just boring excuses to justify his lack of "Color" and "Creativity".

i am pretty sure he was a big nerd when he was a young boy, and going every two hours to the toilette to masturbate. Maybe for that reason his playing is like that.

the hysterical FABrendel appears again when somebody touch his God.
It seems you don´t remember the kind of language and the stupidities you wrote time ago when you initiated a discussion with ytpiano7.
BTW ijust spoke some hour ago with a friend of Korea who tell me there the professional musicians are tired of Brendel nerd. Only"Snobs" (his own words) whant to make a legend form Brendel
LOL.
tatathata...tatahta....they look a pair of nerds, or gays. idon´t know...
Reread the comments on Schubert´s video. You´ll see. You insulted me and "friendlyfinch" (or something like that) first.
No... i was speaking about you (ironic face) WTF!
You should begin writing constructive comments, not stupid ones.

The problem wth FABrendel , is you always say the same: "You should begin writing constructive comments, not stupid ones."..bla bla bla.
But you never do that.
I just made a quiestion about his retirement , becuase is time people begin to forget him.
He will never pass to the gallery of greats. Only for snobs,,,as happen with Serkinn ( who in some way have similarities with him , of course as a pianist Serkin is ten times more pianists) -------------->

HEre where we spent a 3-4 months a year(Japan) he has a big group of fans, as japanese are always "Impressed" with people who are suposse to be the "Scholars" in some areas. But in Europe her ia ve basically 7 months a year Brendel is as any average pianist with a famous career, but nobody get crazy by him.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
----------->Only the snobs ( specially Germans , but not Austrians) .
And coming back to that pair of jerks: tatatatata....thatatathhatatata...come on. and then they sing wit a donkey voice, etc.....(of course all this prepared by the fucking manager). What a circus this of the music bussiness
I absolutely adore him when he said at 00:38, "I am completely at loss to explain why I made it.." so very humble yet a great giant within..sort of reminds me of someone I know..hmmm.
I am not a pianist but that touch of his at 4:30 is just out of this world. *sigh*
He plays the part at 4:33 so beautifully and so much with ease, it's among the nicest moments in the documentary along with the introduction at 6:24, his smile at 0:42, the funny expression at 5:44, the Liszt piece at the begging in part V, the Matthias Goerne singing and the Chopin prelude no.4 in part VI, the excerpt from Brahms piano concerto no.1, the picture of him wearing the white pom pom beanie hat, and his closing comment about Mozart which evokes tears.
OMG this is cool. Like a personal masterclass! The moment where they cut to the orchestra... so perfect. Brendel says the most amazing things about music. "The masterpiece tells the performer what he should do", I love this.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Hello "AlexPxr8" did you ever went to a masterclass of just a media good pianist? .
Well, because that argument about all the performer need is the written music to performed it? ..and at the same time the idea of the respect of the written music instead to tell the composer what he should wrote.
That´s is so old and almost everybody say it. The problem here is who of the perferomers REALLY make it. If Brendel think he is making it, in some degree could be true, but who ..to continue...
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
conitnuing......owns the true? . Maybe Brendel he have it. I pesonally think he could be right in some degree, But what about pianists like Pollini who have the same idea of respect about the score, but with a pinistic resources which are at least 10 times over the pianistc capacity of Brendel? . And after all. Who is right about the genuine interpretation and understanding of the printed score?.
I am personally doesn´t believe in it. I believe the composer despite how ...to continue....
continuing.....great could be, also make some mistakes on some things..even in the same notes he wrote sometimes. If this is possibel , is obviously twice possible to change dynamics and tempo indications to RE-CREATE the written score. After many years of playing i become really tired of the "Standard" (which finally nobody knows clearly what it is),so....that´s the real resons for the existence of the INTERPRETER.
continuing....Of course i am speaking this into some parmeters who make you don´t go to far to deformate the musical work. That´s is a different story. BUT,,,but...in some cases like the "Pictures on a exhibition" in Horowitz arrangment (year 1942) of it, by far is better than the original, and i am pretty sure if Moussorgsky would be alive to listen it he wouyld be very happy. Of course in that music you have more flexibility to make things. In Schubert less, but not inpossible at all. continu
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
continuing... but finally WHO have the autority to say : My way to see the things how them must be is the right one?
It doesn´t exist. And in my particular point of view Brendel "Purism" was in some way an excuse for his limitations of imagination.
He is a good point of scholar reference. Not more. Now concerning the association with Brendel and Rattle..is perfect, because the kind of personalities they have...long to explain.
ytpiano7: before you shoot back an insult, the least you can do it to have it make sense (both grammatically and logically). Yet, you're downright pathetic.
Keep embarrassing yourself if you like (or enjoying it in some Freudian, attention-seeking, low self-esteem manner). It's your own tragedy after all.
Actually, my only argument previously is more of a non-musical nature, declaring the great waste of skin that is you (concluded through your viciousness instead of musical opinion).

Hey ytpiano7 hang yourself please, we beg you...nobody gives a shit for your comment's, y dejame decirte algo pedazo de idiota, si no sabés nada acerca de América Latin mejor cerrá esa boca de mierda, acomplejado de mierda. Andate para la verga.
I don´t care for nobody poce of crap. I care for the real ones. haha what a retarded you are cheap argentinian (of course all argentinian are not like you, you maybe live in the BOCA neighborhood) i realized that owed to your poor spanish. Learn your own language first.
Oye so pedazo de cagado. Ni tienes idea de donde soy . To continue......
continuing....Al igual que los rosquetes maricones y afeminados de tus amigos FABrendel y Ernesto (la misma persona con diferente seudónimo) hablas tu propio idioma hasta las huevas. No se escribe "Cerrá" so pedazo de ignorante. Se escribe "Cierra" jaja. No se dice "Andate" sino ándate, o sea con acento so tarado. Se mas de América latina que tu, ya que todos los años toco en varios países
continuing...de Latino América desde Chile hasta México imbécil y además tengo familia en Chile y en Argentina..hermoso país solo que a veces cagado por imbéciles como tu. Acomplejado será el maricón que te engendró so pedazo de concha tu madre. A ver ....¿te gustó? no me "Digás...(jaja) que no? he usado tu propio estilo de callejón del BOCA.......jaja. A ver si así "Aprendés" a moderar tu hocico, ya que boca no tienes infeliz......
Hola Ernesto....em materias idiomáticas y/o linguísticas concernientes al idioma Castellano o Italino no soy el tuerto, sino el ambi-visual. Los hablo mas que correctamente...modestia aparte. :-) Mi escritura en al computadora -como ya te lo expliqué anteriormente- es un desastre..sin ir muy lejos me acabo de dar cuenta que ya cometí es¡n este párrafo, ni mas ni menos que cinco errores en mi propio idioma...imagínate que me queda para cuando escribo en inglés.....plop....
Pues, ytpiano, que importa? Lo fundamental es darse a entender, y eso lo consigues de manera muy definitiva(!!) Tambien es bueno cuando tomamos nota nuestros errores. Gracias por añadir colorido a tantas opiniones musicales que se vuelven desabridas.
I was watching carefully at the (obviously) prepared meeting between these two and i was laughing at Brendel´s acting and his head movements trying to be an "Inspired" artist. The problem is when you don´t know what is passion and your manager try to do you make some "passionate things". Well, for people similar to him (very german not austrian...i know he is Chek)) maybe it could have some effect, but... to continue..
continuing...not for people who every normal day have a life plenety of COLOR, despite that day is good or not..... which is the ingredient he has not in his playing and maybe in his pseudo intellectual life.
A real intellectual 1st: try to fix his phrasing mistakes, and some others....
Well, to any other people different than "ernesto" and FABrendel" who BTW are the same person with a different nickname, It looks they cannot live without me. A pair of stupid guys....or stupid guy...meybe. Any of my comments will be addressed of course to anybody but not to those two, unless they are the "Owners" of this virtual space.....
I have never heard him live, so maby I shouldn´t post my opinions, but his recordings make me think that his not very briliant player. That´s all. I´m 29 ( Neptunekid ), I have a wife, I can drive, and I´m a pianist also.
The modesty of the man shows his integrity, professionalism and rare musical gift, no showmanship just great musicianship, the sign of a truly great musician
I am completely rigth in the head and in any place.
he is a POOR pianist . First of all. Not completely bad ¡, but mediocre technique. poor musicality, his playing is plain and boring. he can´t make any polyphonic distintion in passages really need, etc. And his frogy faces are a disaster, and distract people than the real musical fact. maybe that is his strategy.
And a funny thing, he pretended to give more importance to a liszt piano work. He was really unconsciuos when he made that decision? To do that you need the technical background of Sandor, czsyfra, Argerich, etc, but not the Brendel technical background. Thos world is crazy

No dear. i am a 53 years old man, profssional pianist with winner of one competition, smei finalist in the last one i participate, with a son who was my pupil and he won an international competition at 17, etc. I know very well about what i ma speaking. My manager suggest to me to don´t waisre time in this kind of virtual spaces like you tube Continue....
Continuing...but i believe is too many people who don´t know nothing about piano playing and make a big opinions and plenty of "low everything", and me as my friend who was writing here before me (frateramadeus), believe we cna make some contribution to make some peolpe more objetive about facts. continue....
Unfortunatedly maybe the 75% of people who write here is very ignorant concerning muusic, and among the other 25% are differente levels, from good ones to bad ones. From highly educated, to pigs. For that reason this is to me a kind of knowledge how is people who clap us. This experience is very rich to me. In some week or two i have to quit, because i have to play again, and i will have not time to write, and BTW is enough.

the fact that this video has 20 000 views and a stupid Britney Spears has over 4 millions, says a lot about the society we live in and about people in general . that aside, Mr. Alfred Brendel is undoubtedly one of the greatest minds and talents we have had the privilege to admire.
Thank you for posting this documentary!

But it's being very difficult for me to live surrounded by [their?] garbage. In everything, from food to clothes' fabrics, plastic shoes, the packaging of cereals and shampoo, the trashing of landscape & architecture, the cheap interior materials etc etc. etc. More than surrounded: - the pangarbage invades my life, especially the more I share it with others. But I am so, so, so gregarious! I am therefore in dis-ease. My loss, not my gain...

i see what you mean, and i agree, but its a bit unfair...brendel has chosen to stay out of the limelite, britney (who i can't stand) has done opposite, she does her career simply to get recoqnision and fame. so thats why she has so many more views, everyone already knows about her, becuase shes always on the news!. but i know what you mean, and i agree.

I just think that there is not enough exposure to classical music and the world's greatest musicians like Brendel. What I know about classical music, composers, and musicians, I've had to go out and look for.
TwelfthRoot2 2 years ago 2
True. Its a pity that classical music is much less appreciated that it could. I mean, it has pretty much every thing, It covers the entire range of human emotion...from Bach to Stravinsky. I used to listen to classic rock and many other forms of music, but once I got into classical realized that it has EVERYTHING. Yet people go listen to elevator music like Yanni or Andre Rieu.
What is needed is innovative marketing and passiion. Benjamin Zander is showing us the way.

Well . it´s incredible how sometimes when you really don´t take too much interest in some musician, orchestra, etc. you forget to actualize your information.
I really (despite is a great orchestra) never enjoyed too much Berlin Philarmonic, becuase i hate Karajan conducting. Despite he was considered one of the great, for me he was a kind of bluff, and a person with an extreme very good luck. I considered his music aproach a kind of: Speed before anything else.

He plays the part at 4:33 so beautifully and so much with ease, it's among the nicest moments in the documentary along with the introduction at 6:24, his smile at 0:42, the funny expression at 5:44, the Liszt piece at the begging in part V, the Matthias Goerne singing and the Chopin prelude no.4 in part VI, the excerpt from Brahms piano concerto no.1, the picture of him wearing the white pom pom beanie hat, and his closing comment about Mozart which evokes tears.

Well, because that argument about all the performer need is the written music to performed it? ..and at the same time the idea of the respect of the written music instead to tell the composer what he should wrote.
That´s is so old and almost everybody say it. The problem here is who of the perferomers REALLY make it. If Brendel think he is making it, in some degree could be true, but who ..to continue...
