Mozart concerto 20 in d, K.466 - 1. Allegro (1of2) Gulda

[Solars78]

happy birthday Mozart - and sweet memories to mister Gulda who went with the melodies today as well- but we have youtube so i hope he lives longer - imagine- we would have had cameras in Mozarts time - and we could have this today - only an Austrian can represent this flair of his music- thats why Gulda was born !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



[lebleh]

people talking in a concert... off with their heads!

[fapestar]

Lol, Larry David Plays Mozart

[VMOjeda1]

Este es el más hermoso concierto para piano de Mozart y Gulda es magnífico

[Shooters141]

@VMOjeda1 metetelo.

[VMOjeda1]

@Shooters141 no entendí tu comentario, ¿puedes ser más explícito?, que es lo que te ofendio, supongo que no te gusta Gulda, y?

[SOLARIS3M]

CONDUCTOR IS ONE THING...............PIANO PLAYER AN OTHER THING!!!

BUT BOTH IN ONE PERSON AT SAME TIME IS HORROR!!!

[Dodo251]

@SOLARIS3M I would bet all orchestra conducters can play piano at a fairly high level. They wouldn't be conducters otherwise.

[kingjd182]

how much of this is improvised or embellished on the piano? any? all? 

[airdebijoux7]

It could have been great if he brought out the grace of Mozart as well. Oh well..... we all know we have only one Mozart.

[airdebijoux7]

He brings out perfect madness of a genius.

[soopy9]

uh, where's the rest of the first movement?

[omittedofficial]

i clicked on this video because i thought it was larry david

[mohrenblase]

can someone guide me to a cd recording of this specific concert? i can't find anything on amazon etc... does it even exist?

[mohrenblase]

@mohrenblase only thing i can find myself is the dvd but no simple cd just with the music

[gvfarns]

I love Gulda's work. I have his Beethoven Sonata series and it's amazing. Here I think he (and the orchestra) would have benefited from a conductor, though. No need to economize.

He does look just like Larry David, doesn't he?

[newscaster13]

@gvfarns he sure does

[thanosnl]

a masterpiece



[DoctorMDF]

I have a recording of Gulda playing Mozart's K467 in the 1960s. His interpretation of the first movement is one of the best I know. I love this guy.

[mkimmi1]

He's playing the Beethoven's Cadenza right?

[fluffer1987]

Mozart multi-tasking. The conductor also plays the piano -- and with delicate felicity. 

[freeqwerqwer]

I think the reason Guida has more hits than Uchida on this concerto is because Uchida plays too prim and prissy...... while Guida, though lacking in finesse, has more strength and a straight forward delivery plus a sense of urgency which this piece demands.

[marian444]

Wonderful performance!!!

[varfordogjesus]

Mozart was such a genious!!!! I mean, i love other composers for sure; Chopin, Liszt, Chaikovsky, Bergmüller etc. Even moderny; Armand Amar, Harry Rabinowitz... But Mozart. Mozart is for my soul a ground to all music. Easy light music: Elvira Madigan, Full of tears: Lacrimosa, Serious: Rex Tremendous, Deep: fantasy. I mean, I can go on forever. He is such a inspiration and such a genious. His music is full of motions!!!

[zerikuri]

素晴らしい。

[neilzientek]

@adv20 Apparently this was Beethoven's favorite piece of music.

[ramin7784]

Its Larry David!!

[FilmComposeRaHoppe]

I got it on venyl ;), gulda and Vienna philharmonic orchestra ;). Now I wonder if it is the same recording :D.

[shdrums9]

Does anybody know where I can find a recording of this performance. I found a different recording on Amazon with Gulda and the St Petersburg Orchestra, but I would really like this particular version

[mosdepf95]

Unbelieveable, i've just mentioned that Gulda lived 10 minutes away from my home O.O

[Sviolinist]

Gulda best player ever thank you

[tindi691]

it´s at the beginning of the AMADEUS film from Milos Forman. grandios!!!

[emilytransex]

ADORO GULDA IN MOZART!

[RaiZerScythe]

[etiam161036]

Quel beau piano!...

[jjjuiliano]

Wow! I didn't know that Muammar Gaddafi could play piano and conduct so well!

[esteramarta]

wow ,  ..................

[lesliefoy49]

ebben pont az a zseniális,hogy gyors,dinamikus...

[lesliefoy49]

csoda, hogy lehet megkérdőjelezni ezt a zenei teljesítményt,néhány pontatlanság miatt,nézz magadba,naponta,hibáztok ti is nem de???

[Rattywotin]

I'm with the Larry David camp lol but by god he can play

[meanmrmustard89]

LOL I thought the conductor was Larry David in the photo!

[oscar11147]

no hay en el mundo algo contenga la vida entera como este concierto. es mas hermoso, incluso que todo lo imaginable, es inagotable. es mas allá de todo. mas allá de la lluvia y los bosques con niebla, mas allá del pasado, mas allá del presente, y es injusta la finitud cuando uno escucha algo tan pleno.. tan bello

[oprosaico]

Simplesmente excepcional.

[rikku38]

So what was the point of him even conducting in the beginning...? lol

[PeteTheSnowDog1]

Two things. This is by far my favorite composition by Mozart. And No.2 it still has that haunting feeling that Mozart was realising that something was very wrong with himself and his health.

[TuneLoony61]

This is Incredible!~ Little Richard is crying his eyes out. Tune was Here!~

[WesMan200]

Gulda looks like Larry David here. But, of course, it doesn't affect his genius.

[Whateverdudeyeah]

@WesMan200

Larry David's?

[DominiqueSALLOUM]

Belle prestation dans l'ensemble.

Même si je trouve le jeu de Gulda un peu "dur" parfois et manquant de "subtilité" et de "sensualité".

Quand on écoute des musiciens comme Plamena MANGOVA (Reine Elizabeth 2007) et qu'on sait que Gulda faisait partie du jury qui devait "juger" des prodiges comme elle,on ne peut s'empêcher de sourire...

Gulda a d'ailleurs dédicacé la partition du concerto de Mozart de MANGOVA la reconnaissant meilleure mozartienne (que lui?! auquel cas il aurait raison... ;-))

[Piyanistcan5]

I"m 12 and I play this piece =), and its so great but hard =).

[adam4757]

The poor, poor orchestra. They really are on their own here. Well done to them.

[jiulianus]

Grande energia e sicurezza sia nella direzione orchestrale che nell'esecuzione pianistica!

[ThePainter62]

@Anusfish I wonder why the person who put this music on you tube actually allows comments such as yours.

Allowing comments like yours is compatible with smearing excrement onto a Rembrandt Artwork.

The only correct thing with the comment is your label "AnusFish" which is where your remarks probably originated from. A fish's anus.

[Dagrecco1982]

@ThePainter62 The best response ever!

[cxa2500]

@ThePainter62 Even the mentally challenged have the right of freedom of speech. Consider the source

[TheIncludeX]

So... Gaddafi is also an accomplished composer.

[lopper12345]

I like the "stiff". Makes it groove more. Almost like a jazz piece.

[itried2dohandstnds4u]

His conducting is...ok...but his interpretation on the piano is horribly stiff. And he made quite a few mistakes around the two and a half minute mark! Jeez..i'm a bit frustrated bc i can't find a good performance of this piece on youtube. (that blonde guy at 00:53 is still hot though, hehe)

[htshoward]

@itried2dohandstnds4u I agree...not a decent performance on youtube of this GREAT concerto. I wish we had Lilli Kraus playing it!

[randomician]

1:28 - 1:30 So much power in those four notes...

[itried2dohandstnds4u]

I love this concerto. Oh, and the blonde long-haired violin player at 00:52 to 00:58 is fukin HOT.

[MrGoodClass]

I never knew Larry David knew how to conduct :)

[wolfwilkins]

@MrGoodClass totally is hey! 

[TheAkasolo]

Interprétation toujours impeccable avec Gulda

[BROTHERoftheBRIAR]

man this director is awesome i want his hat to,,lol

[VKatze]

Good god. I cry...this piece is so brilliant. <3 Viva Mozart~ One of the absolute greatest things God has ever given this world. -God, Allah, whomever-

[tpjsb]

Thank you so much for posting this! One can really feel the orchestra and the piano is one. The whole piece is one continuous flow of various emotion. I felt I've taken on such an exciting journey.

RIP, Gulda.

[jimjavad1]

veryyyyy niceeeeeeeeeeeeee

i likeeeeeeeeeee

[saxcoburg]

Just love this guy!

[ScheideProductions]

Will Ferrell plays French Horn at 5:17

[beethovenite]

@ScheideProductions Who cares about Will Ferrell when you got Larry David conducting from the keyboard???

[soos215]

@beethovenite Larry David should do an hommage concert for his look-alike enfant terrible!!

[BROTHERoftheBRIAR]

@soos215 lmao at that one

[JohnEBPiano]

@ScheideProductions made my night hahaha

[introspectorateur]

@ScheideProductions you made me laugh so HARD that i would have pissed my pants (because its true - he looks like will ferrell - who often makes me also pee...) Merci !! FOU RIRE !!

[WesMan200]

@ScheideProductions He needs more cowbell

[Cincelin]

@ScheideProductions jajajajajajajaajajajjajjajaj!!­!!

[xbigd1987x]

@ScheideProductions haha and larry david is the conductor

[saxman2555]

@ScheideProductions lol, i totally laughed out loud when i saw that. well done!

[Sviolinist]

@ScheideProductions Lol it's anchor man! high five

[Nikolidas]

The semi-quavers are bloody impossible to play. Probably because I was never taught, but still...

[terrorinthesky1]

flawless piano concerto by Mozart

[bbrody5982]

I didn’t know Larry David played piano.

[Gargantupimp]

@bbrody5982 Only when he puts on the hat, then he transforms into GULDA

[Thundernium]

lady gaga has better chords

[dan270145139]

@Thundernium ur just so stupid

[patdluvr824]

@Thundernium youre joking right?

[whneo97]

@Thundernium without these chords, lady gagas' wouldn't even have existed!

[countdigi]

my favorite symphony of all time - played very sweetly by this orchestra

[piano932]

@countdigi

not a symphony, its a concerto

[countdigi]

@piano932

touche

[007jorgelina]

Que pena que no esta completo este primer movimiento, justamente falta lo mejor que hay en el!!!

[csandersen]

I never understood if the composer was all that necessary... don't all the musicians already know what to do? it seems like they do alright w/out him when hes at the piano...

[GardenAshesBg]

@csandersen

Well, the composer was necessary, otherwise it would be Cage's 4'33 all the way.

You probably ment "the conductor". :))

Conductor's job, above all, is to create his own interpretation of the piece and to make it sound. That's what he does while rehearsing with the orchestra. At concerts he simply sets the tempo and gives preparations for particular instruments that play a significant part (melody or motif etc) of the score at the moment.

[csandersen]

@GardenAshesBg yeah I meant the conductor lol.. Oh ok i see what you're saying. It was just funny how he threw his hand out a few times while he was playing the piano... so dramatic

[GardenAshesBg]

@csandersen

You should check out Levine's rendition of Wagner.

The first time I saw him conduct the Valkyrie ouverture, I laughed my ass off.

[MrBoomLazer]

pause 0:56

this guy looks like he has every stereotype of a violinist possible

[Thundernium]

@MrBoomLazer he looks like an albino monkey

[powerseriesman]

this piece is very deep , and lots of chromatic scales ( i think, maybe not)

[matthewtotaro]

Many thanks for posting this great performance of this concerto!!!

Gulda captures the playfulness, tempo, and whimsicality of Mozart perfectly.

This performance is even better than the recorded 1975 version with Gulda as soloist and Claudio Abbado leading the Vienna Philharmonic.

[123jsbach]

Possibly the best piece of music ever written.

[jdlhawaii]

just great gulda

[hybridfox]

Brilliant and genius moveemnt from his 20th concerto, but it got chopped off toward the end! My soul shudders at the abrupt anticlimax of this masterpiece!

[okicuru12]

woops, it was the second movement particularly I was referring to.

[okicuru12]

This is for me the quintessential Mozart. The greatest human musical mind that ever existed.

In an all night sexual performance some years ago this exploded into my mind fuller and with more detail than ever I heard it, what an experience.

[harvestsoulfly]

Bravo!

Kinda looks like Larry David though.

[trschaefer]

Beautiful performance. Love the hat too!!

[pbyshelley]

tl;dr

rich guy is already rich and doesn't value money, says mozart is beyond money.

stupid guy who says he doesn't understand music would give up mozart for 10,000.

sounds like a stupid argument.

[geisterbahn1]

@pbyshelley Im not rich but have worked hard for what i have. The idiot is saying he values paper fiat currency over Mozart.All i was saying in essence is that real wonders like Mozart are basically free .he didnt get it.looks like you didnt either.

[yuirrr]

@geisterbahn1 If I offered you 15000 for Mozart, you'd sell him.

Come on! That's only music! It's not neither important nor unique.

I love Mozart but money worths a lot more than his masterpieces. I'm sorry! I'm just saying the truth.

You'd sell Mozart for 10000 dollars easily.

[geisterbahn1]

@yuirrr I think maybe your a little nuts in the head! go get your self a shrink , it looks to me like you have lost your powers of judgement.You certainly dont know or understand Mozart as you called just music! Mozart is useing his music as a vehicle to another dimension .You ,however would not understand that content .

[yuirrr]

@geisterbahn1 I don't understand the content, right.

But you and I would sell it for 5000 bucks.

[geisterbahn1]

@yuirrr you have no idea about content or the meaning and sublimity of wolfgangs masterworks.your better off going and getting some help from your shrink.goodbye ! and dont email back as your getting on my nerves

[yuirrr]

@geisterbahn1 Come on! Grow up!

We both know it's only a damn song.

If had the necessity, you'd sell Mozart for a hamburguer.

Seriously, why are you lieing?

It's only some songs, we both know we would sell it for less than 15 thousand bucks.

[geisterbahn1]

@yuirrr you need help ! go see your shrink or jump off a cliff or something.

[yuirrr]

@geisterbahn1

Man, you need help.

Let's suppose your family is hungry and Justin Bieber appears wanting to buy your right to listen to Mozart for 100 thousand bucks.

Tell me you won't sell it and I stab you in the face.

Let's try to stay in reality, Schubert. Your point doesn't make any sense. It's only MUSIC!

[PeteTheSnowDog1]

@pbyshelley can you imagine if Mozart were alive today how wealthy he would be !!

[dolofonos]

Accepted performance attire has become absurd.

[guspleite]

mOZART forever.

[geisterbahn1]

If was offered either1.you can have all the money in the world or 2. but you cant listen to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart ever again!.if you take the money. Guess what! THEY CAN KEEP THE MONEY !

[yuirrr]

@geisterbahn1 I love Mozart. He is the biggest music genious...

But all the money in the world... Well, it would be dumb. If I had all the money in world, it would lose all the valour...

I'd sell Mozart for 140 thousands of dollars. I's still have Tchaikovsky, Bethooven, Schubert, Wagner, Vivaldi and Biber to entertain me.

I mean Biber, not Bieber. Biber is a flemish barroch composer.

[geisterbahn1]

@yuirrr yeah ,you would be the poorer for that. No money in the world can give you what Mozart gives you.I,ll stick with the Music thx

[yuirrr]

@geisterbahn1 Don't be stupid.

If I offered you 1 million euros to buy Mozart's eternal silence you wouldn't refuse to buy.

I love Mozart, but let's try to face reality.

[geisterbahn1]

@yuirrr the stupid one is yourself! once the million euros is gone and you cant listen to wolfgang ,then as i said your the stupid one 100% I have enough money ,I have a villa in Spain. and England ,I want for nothing .But nothing compares to Mozarts Music .

[yuirrr]

@geisterbahn1 Wow! You're stupid as hell.

I'd sell Mozart for 50 thousands euros.

If I could decide between selling my right to listen to Mozart, I'd sell it for 10000 euros, believe me.

I love Mozart but I just can't understand music. Mozart is the only musician I like, the rest sounds lame.

I'd still have Tchaikovsky and Bethooven, of course they aren't a Mozart but I think it's enough.

[geisterbahn1]

@yuirrr id get some education if i where you, You dont seem to grasp the basics.so go back to the red neck woods and play your banjo and eat some cat fish hillbilly.

[geisterbahn1]

Wolfgang, Wolfgang, wolfgang! what do you want from us.

[oscar11147]

La vida y la permanencia caben en éste concierto para piano de Mozart, y ni aun la poesía con todas la musas pueden provocar todo...todo en violencia y armonia, dulsura y beatitud.

ha! si el buen poeta chileno, con su idioma nombrara lo que vive y vivira por siempre y para todos en esta melodia...

[vgtambov]

Чудо какое!Нам очень понравилось!

[zvanigno]

GREAT!!!

[Regina555100]

ЭТО СКАЗКА,  СПАСИБО !

[spill1987]

who's the principal first violine? (concertmaster)

[animumaurarium]

Such real artists don't make music in order to satisfy the expectations of the critics, nor the academics.

[ArgoJames]

What a piece of DRAMATIC... Luv U Mozart!

[pettymolly]

it's so perfect. beyond perfect. what a genious.

[jezmuff]

What a completely dull, sloppy rendering

[pettymolly]

@jezmuff you have no passion in your life

[jezmuff]

@pettymolly But I did fuck your mum so it works out

[pettymolly]

@jezmuff go troll on justin bieber songs please. you do not fit here. In any way.

[jezmuff]

@pettymolly I fit your mum

[pettymolly]

@jezmuff I can set you up on a date

[jezmuff]

@jezmuff The piano, that is

[astronome9]

@jezmuff I think the exact opposite: what a lively and yet balanced rendering. Passionate enough, but perfect control and balance, I think that's Mozart at its best.

[FRESKOL]

Le 10ème anniversaire de la mort de Friederich GULDA

Il est allè retrouver ses compositeurs favoris défunts,décédé beaucoup trop tôt,

je pense q'il avait encore plein de surprise musicale pour nous étonner, il a permis a la nouvelle génération de musiciens une approche décontractée.Avec Mozart il était le seul a avoir trouver la clé intime du compositeur,éternel incompris des critiques,il n'a pas voulu resté confiné dans le moule des grands interprète du piano.

Merci F. Gulda

[burlingtonz]

Damn, I want his hat...

[00bean00]

Oh man, around 1:15 the conductor looks so hip!

[jezmuff]

@00bean00 That's cas the music is!

[chrish12345]

@00bean00 hip n elbow yh

[AlcoholLevel]

In my next life I can only hope that I'm the reincarnation of Friedrich Gulda.

[ActMax]

I would say this is pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good.

[lsbrother]

bit dubious about this conducting /playing business - surely either the orchestra needs a conductor 100% of the time or they don't really need one at all. 

[DavePerry2012]

@lsbrother Sure looks cool, though.

[simonofhell]

@lsbrother Until about the 1830's, the conductor was almost always sat at a keyboard. This music is from before the 1830's, so they're just doing it the way Mozart intended it.

[lsbrother]

@simonofhell

so why doesn't he just sit at the keyboard - he's clearly not needed when he's playing so presumably also not when he is

[simonofhell]

@lsbrother It's not a large orchestra, so every musician can very well hear the piano, and follow it's playing, in the same way they would follow a conductors directions. When the conductor is not playing, he needs to take the role of a conductor as we today now it to still keep everyone in place.

[lsbrother]

@simonofhell

o.k - so he's the leader when he's playing - that's a fair point I had not thought of.

[simonofhell]

@lsbrother To give you a historic example: Haydn conducted his own symphonies at a keyboard, therefore even adding a part to the symphony that wasn't actually there (the improvised keyboard)
