This is so beautiful

[MrRiccardo993]

u can see Argerich's experience in her smiles! she's incredible!

[kusumosutowo]

wooowww !! what an excellent playing !

[marijke0607]

ADEM BENEMEND !!!!!!!!!!

[marijke0607]

breath taking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cgsomlo]

Alone they could de better... It is true that the piece is superficial as many Mozart compositions. But, I repeat, alone they are much better.

[KV4671]

veel te snel en ongeïnteresseerd gespeeld. Op Mozart zijn pianocomposities verkijkt men zich snel

[bartje11]

The dislikes must be trolls, if not, they are totally, totally clueless and brainless and probably crawling back in the gutter where they belong.

[Strefanasha]

@bartje11 not necessarily. some people do not like Mozart. as for me Mozart does not really do it. He does not thunder. Oh, he is a great master, as Tchaikovsky finally admitted of Brahms, but Tchaikovsky never did learn to like Brahms

[Erikk91]

excellent performance, but i hate ARGERICH. She looks to kissin and smiles because "mpf, Mozart is too easy for me and i can smoke a cigarete while playing it." i hate this behaviour.

[brandonscherrer]

@Erikk91 I don't think she is displaying that behavior at all. She's not looking at Kissin to show off and say it's easy. Maybe if you understood Mozart a little more.

[Erikk91]

@brandonscherrer mmm please dont misunderstand me. i noticed that behaviour in other her executions, like the 4 piano concerto by Bach, she seems to be bored to death. Try to check out, peace and love dude :)

[brandonscherrer]

@Erikk91 What gave you this impression?

[Davidlee6898]

Hi @brandonscherrer !

Exactly!

It's really not easy to play Mozart properly. It's said that " Playing Mozart is a way to recognize how good ones can interpret"!

For ERIKK91: You enjoy music or you enjoy the muscian's behaviour?

[brandonscherrer]

@Davidlee6898 yes! For me, the Mozart sonatas are the most difficult keyboard works to interpret.

[sergiodsimon1]

@Erikk91 Apparently you know nothing about the relationship between the 2 pianists. Argerich has the greateast admiration for Kissin, who she considers one of the living giants of the keyboard. She smiles because she can smoke a cigarette even when she plays Liszt's Transcendental Studies. Sorry, she was born with this talent...

[The882mel]

Hi, can anyone tell me the date and the place of this live? Thanks. I absolutely love it!

[Hobott]

Argerich and Kissin should play 4 hands piece on 4 pianos - one piano for each hand.

[itisjinzo]

Dying while listening this would be such a heavenly way to die.

[javierlopeza]

One of the best piano videos ever.

We would be forever grateful for Part II...

[javierlopeza]

From 11:56 onwards... heaven opens. One of the most inspired and uplifting moments of music I've heard lately!

[rhetoricalwishh]

oh my god.

[mcwa1shoredrive]

Incredible clarity, beautiful tone quality, sensitive ensemble= Heavenly musicality.

[henrycate]

You will probably never hear more beautiful piano music in your life.

[henrycate]

For those who love this performance, it's from the Verbier Piano Extravaganza (10th anniversary), one of my favorite DVDs.

[dkisselev1]

Titans vs. Gods

[GA4N]

@dkisselev1 God was making them .....

[apblondon20]

At 00:37 try to guess which of them is playing! I got it wrong!

[martingudell]

You will all excuse me for saying such a thing, but I will dare to say it: IT IS ORGASMIC!. No other feeling of extreme pleasure may be compaired .

Greetings from Argentina , better to say Martha´s homeland. So proud to say it!.

[JosquenD]

Perfetti e perfettamente fuori stile.

[Schoenberg01]

Thanks!



[unagondolaunremo]

the dialogue is perfect! (see at 5,24 and after)

[0casteloencantado0]

she looks at kissin and says: "bitch, i would do this alone..."

[aNelixir]

@0casteloencantado0 i wouldn't bet on that bro!!

[arlongan]

thumbs up if you add this to favourite

[pan02286]

wad happen 4 the score at 2:45~47?

[Kazmomusic]

@pan02286 I think Kissin forgot they repeat. :P

[Fede1939]

@pan02286 two pages turned instead of one

[pan02286]

but kissin did turn it (for his need let's say) but he din figure it out? so what's but the turning?

Or the speed to read is different?

[bdsw420]

They're both enjoying themselves. Let's leave it at that.

[MsOlkina]

@1Thompsonmusic - if you have nothing nice to say, just do not say anything. Why are you so mean and why are music nerds so mean? I have read so many mean comments about so many performances that are posted on Youtube. Why is it? A desire to show off? I will see if there is a way to hide the comments...

[arlongan]

@1Thompsonmusic good thinking

[izzyjamm4]

I wonder who's controlling the pedals... maybe they're playing footsie for control?

[izzyjamm4]

Argerich is clearly more fluid and relaxed. I guess it holds true here: "Things just get better with age..."

[pperezklein]

Is Martha hitting on Evgeny?

[godzooke]

Stunning energy!

[javierlopeza]

And the gates of heaven shall open at 11:58...

Please, bring part II asap! It's soooo dissatisfying to leave it like this!!! Thank you @andriventu

[kspijker123]

Listen close: 0:32 'Concentrate... 1, 2, 3, 4'. My piano teacher doesn't allow me to count down !! :D

[Rachmaninoffkid]

Argerich is a genius and just amazes me and Kissin pretty much needs to find another hobby. Excellent playing ability, no really, outstanding! He just can’t move me like even pianists like Borge can.

[Jaimejimmyjim]

Maaaaaaaaaarveeeeeeelousssssss­ssssssssssssss

[mcjtalegault]

4 or 6 or 8 pianos - it's delightful to listen to music snobs of the world. Or 4 or 6 or 8 hands too.

[mcjtalegault]

4 or 6 or 8 pianos - it's delightful to listen to music snobs of the world.

[bersa888]

This not a 2-piano sonata (like the title says), but simply a 4-hand sonata ;-) Oh, well....

[dennisdeemii]

He's like an amateur playing beside Argerich. He plays too loudly and doesn't balance with her. And technically, his fingers are so bent and the fifth finger raises up. Watch how Argerich's is cupped and even with the keyboard. He was lucky. They are not equals.

[arturon111]

@dennisdeemii WRONG,...so what,... in many respects kissin is as good or BETTER than martha,...

[jmribet]

They are so different ... I was there when they played together .... incredible !

[marianomanto]

God. This is the perfection you are made of?

[NAVMAR21]

Wow, two masters playing in perfect, coordinated Mozartian ecstasy!

[MrConvivator]

Danke, habe Link gesetzt

[chobeethaninov]

I love the "behind the scenes" snippets! Kissin looks really nervous!!! He is such a perfect gentleman!!! :)

[Pianista061292]

FANTASTIC MUSIC, FANTASTIC COMPOSER, AND OF COURSE, GREAT PIANISTS.

[DrSm4rT]

THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME!!!

[KV4671]

@DrSm4rT

unappropiate

[Mooweedy]

Haha at 2:24 Kissin turned the page too early and Argerich corrected him :)

[Mooweedy]

@Mooweedy 2:44 sorry :)

[juliburton]

I love how she keeps looking over at him and smiling, it's so cute :)

[zsofija1970]

Quel incroyables génies, M. Kissine et Mme Argerich, merci pour ce bijou!! (les plus grandes pianistes du 20-21 ème siècle. Merci

[Musireve]

Would say that he is too metallic in his sound and she is so much more into refined and nuanced playing....he is a kid, she is a pianist....

[sammmmmysluggggger]

@Musireve I disagree.  I think this is one of his more muscial performances.

[dasweeney62]

This has made my night! Just home from hearing Kissin play Chopin Concerto #1 with the Sydney Symphony and Martha is my all time favourite, so to discover this is fabulous!

[pimperlpom]

what's that Kissin?

[canzo0378]

It's quite interesting and "funny" that Argerich is more "masculine" here than Kissin..... taking second part while Kissin plays like a fairy

[lostyourhead]

Why would even ONE person click dislike on this?!

[soranju0019]

すばらしい音色ですねぇ。

寸分のスキのない見事な演奏です。

でも、彼らにとってはお遊びのようなものでしょうけれど…

[hikarufuego]

They look good together... "nag-selos ko!" ^_^

[vivienmerchant]

Argerich demonstrates complete understanding of her partner. She is so much more more giving, warm and aware. Kissin is brilliant but relatively isolated and his sound and articulation, though wonderful, isn't a patch on hers. Very interesting to see how experience and a warmth of personality wins out here. And she is so much more subtle technically.

[Kahzarwarrior]

@vivienmerchant I completely agree. Not only. When she performs with Freire they generate far more MAGIC!

[izzyjamm4]

@vivienmerchant I totally agree, but might that be because she has the deeper, warmer, tonally harmonious bass notes?

[Resonance86]

no vabbè!

[simlesby]

BRAVO!!!!

[darlingchris1]

What a spirit and fire and love for music! Just breathtaking!

[MrStrav81]

If it's for two pianos, where is the second piano?

[matematicaufes]

@MrStrav81 it is NOT for 2 pianos, it´s for 4 hands on the same piano!

[MrStrav81]

@matematicaufes

I get that. I'm picking at the captions on the video.

[MrStrav81]

It sounds like one pianist playing. It's amazing how well they play together.

[TheRightNeutrino]

When will there be another mozart or beethoven or chopin? it's been like 200-400 years, common we've suffered enough!

[LoveRockYou]

İ am very happy to see Martha and Eugeny playing together.

[gouloum2222]

the chemistry between the two is quite amazing !

[mcrettable]

this is brilliant, we need more combinations of geniuses. such a treat to the ear!!

[carlosmh83]

Uffffff.... Orgasmo Mental!!!!

[mcrettable]

@carlosmh83 YEAH!!!!

[MaxGavOhio]

This is just spectacular! Thank you for sharing it.

[sevcik2]

This performance is so magical...heavenly beautiful...

Martha and Kissin playing Mozart together... Magnificent!

[abajour]

She looks at him and thinks "how cute! this kid really can play mozart!"

[manuelspcool]

I want two woman, Argerich and Uchida, Uchida is know as the best alive Mozart piano player =) And Argerich the powerful rachmaninov

[newFranzFerencLiszt]

finally, again! :D

[andreybeci]

ouch!!

[Freddran]

How old is the recording?

[newFranzFerencLiszt]

@Freddran more or less 9 years (I think from 2002)

[andreybeci]

please people rehears firsts!!! entonces tocan

[8fht9]

Thanks SO much for reposting this--'twas on my fav list before it was deleted...

[salviati]

Argerich and Kissin together at the same keyboard? I can't even fathom sitting and playing next to either one of them! I'm surprised steam isn't rising from the piano keys! :-)

[espejosgigantescos]

@salviati POOR PIANO AFTER THIS MASACRE. GUESS THEY HAVE A GREAT TUNER..

[chobeethaninov]

The King of Piano meets the Queen...

This is great! Their love of music simply radiates from their faces and fingers.

[lothirielle]

@chobeethaninov  I agree. Simply fascinating.

[funkmonk51]

where's part two?

[andriventu]

@funkmonk51 wait a moment please :D
