Brahms - Piano concerto n°2. Mov 4 (part2)

[chuggos]

so beautiful music!

[whneo97]

eargasms!

[nuevopianista]

simplemente no hay mejor versión que esta!!!!! eso es brahms

[uhartchristian]

this is really a milestone in the career of Daniel Barenboim....one of many but this one is an important....

[martinl19]

Absolutely phenomenal!

[pbarinas2]

Barenboim ha resaltado como favorable el hecho de que el pianista Arthur Rubinstein, a diferencia de él, no evidenciase al momento de interpretar sus conciertos la más mínima dificultad. En mi caso particular, cuando escucho a Rubinstein no me emociona precisamente por ese elemento que Barenboim califica como un aspecto positivo. Su entrega es clara y eso es valorado por sus admiradores.

[nine9below0zero]

first part of the last movimento is squeezed together with third movimento (part 2)

[chettmansberger]

Is there a posting of the first half of the fourth movement, perhaps? Regardless, thank you for posting this magnificent work. Well done!

[nolanb21]

Bravo!

[Mozartmostly]

Barenboim looks like Mel Gibson

[belialah]

@Mozartmostly I think he looks like Jigsaw

[MegaThucydides]

never seen Celibidache in such a good mood

[andriventu]

noooo. Barenmoim is a great pianist, maybe not perfect, not comparable to the greatest. But is however great

[prawo82]

wow, till now I really didnt like Barenboim as a pianist but this is very addictive interpretation....

[sheppoz]

@prawo82 I was thinking how to word a polite comment - you said it for me. DITTO!

[jorgealbertobaron]

GRAN OBRA. SINFONIA CON PIANO

[rfaerron44]

Creo y en mi opinion que los numeros de los movimientos debieron ser diferentes, o sea que el no 3 podria ser el primero , es el mas lento, el numero 2 el no. 4 o sea el ultimo y el numero 1 el no. 3 .

[rfaerron44]

Es un excelente video , la musica grandiosa ,no hay como Brahms.

Gracias por la oprtunidad de disfrutarla

[MrYou2ber]

@rfaerron44 I actually understood that! All those years of high school spanish finally paid off!! Estoy muy excitado!!

[Sim882]

This movement sounds good, but compared to the other 3, I see no story to follow.

I would love to be wrong. Please inform me (1) what this movement is about and (2) how it relates to the other 3? It's as if the tumultousness in aspects of the first mov and completely in the 2nd is totally forgotten, and we are now hearing a different song? There is no allusion to past struggles

[phoolisness]

agreed. The first 2 are so good - then this? what is it that we dont get?

[Sim882]

a lot of final concerto movements are lightweight compared to the proceeding, esp the first. This changes a bit in later romantic music.

Beethoven VC concerto has one of the few great final movements.

[visceralchemistry]

I absolutely I adore this music. It's so magical and mysterious.

[Wosinski]

Beautiful.

[dantsos]

I don't know if he did not practice it enough to refresh his memory, or if it's just beyond him at this age and/or phase of his career, or if it has always been beyond him (I rather doubt this last), but in this performance the piece was obviously bigger than him.

[chazinko]

Sorry Celi, you're coasting buddy.

[wagnertasos]

daniel barenboim his one of the most important musicians of the 20 and 21 century..nothing more too say about that.and brahms his absolutely great composer.ohhh what perfect music moment in 2.54-3.15..great

[ilbacioditosca]

Undoubtely Barenboim is one of the greatest musicians of the of the 20 and 21 centuries. I read all his books and he explains that he learn the piano technique from his father, and that kind of training made for him impossible to play with an orquestra like furtwangler's. I heard pianist discuss about the the lack of weight of Barenboim pianism. For me he sound the opposite of Richter, Hofman, or Horovitz.

[Gargantupimp]

@ilbacioditosca Exactly sounds like shit. He can barely handle the notes how can he handle the expression?!

[kajohada]

daniel barenboim plays always pieces who re too difficult for himself,he has too small hands n he doesnt exercise enough,so it sounds forced and not professional. he´s definitely not the 1.liga of pianists!

[LadyNRedShoes]

Did he not stop playing because he used to exercise too much? .........Im wondering here......could be another one? Other than Joao Carlos Martins?

[BrunoLien]

His "too small hands" did not prevent him from being one of the best pianists of these times in Beethoven and Brahms concerti! (he regularly plays them with the greatest orchestras, the Berliner and the Wiener Philharmoniker among others...)

[BrunoLien]

[kreutzo1]

Thanks a lot for your gramatical class!By the way I have already listened him in many oportunities because I am from Argentina where he was born,by the way in june I will see him here with Staatskapelle Berlin,and finally I play piano since 5 AND I have the right to say that his style is not my favourite one,so you are absolutely out of place.

[BrunoLien]

"Not professionnal"!This is THE joke of the year. A musician who plays, as a pianist and a conductor, with the greatest orchestras of the world, who has played and recorded these concerti with Klemperer, Barbirolli, Boulez, Celibidache,... with Berlin, Vienna, Chicago?...Who has been chosen by Fischer-Dieskau, Norman, Bartoli or Quasthoff to accompany them, who has been elected "director for life" by the Berlin Staatsoper, etc. etc. If he sounds "not professionnal", Celibidache must be deaf!

[kajohada]

...obviously u too.great interpreters of the 2nd.brahms concerto dont have this reputation at all:listen to arrau,richter,rubinstein,even serkin have been rather humble comparing to barenboim.thus the "great"pianist will say to his alter ego later on:"well i ve done so many different things and earned so much money but n o t h i n g in the right way.

to play this very difficult piece quite well u re striving with it all the live.barenboim is getting too big for his boots!

[kreutzo1]

I don't hate him as naninani84,but I should say that from my point of wiew Baremboim is not one my favorites indeed.

[BrunoLien]

You should learn to know him a little better. First: his name is BareNboïm...

[naninani84]

i don't like barenboim....i hate him...

[BrunoLien]

I really wonder how a "normal" human being can write such a thing? How can you "hate" such an artist (by another way, one of the greatest musicians of the present times)? I think you should cool down and take some rest.

[kajohada]

i dont also like him definitely,his musical heart is there where the money is acting:((

[saintdracula]

How do you know, I have never heard a 21st Century pianist who plays so passionately, with so much articulation and musicality, most pianists of the 21st Century are mediocre, because the capitalism you speak of and the lack of inner sincerity.

[BrunoLien]

I agree 100%. Bravo!

[BrunoLien]

I agree 100%. Bravo.

[DualThunder]

though that's not to say that baremboim hasnt been surrounded by the media when he rose up in the classical world. A lot of his motives i think are commercially based. however that is not to say that he doesn't play passionately and genuinely. But money has a huge part to play in this game - especially with baremboim. He is evidently not the best pianist of this or last century, despite being "good", but he has had tremendous help in 'making it', not to mention his marriage with du pre.

[assindiastignani]

@DualThunder Dear Dual Thunder: I'm very interested in that last statement. Do you think his marriage to duPré helped his career that much? I never really thought about it, but you could be right - at that point in time she certainly was the more prominent artist of the two. But please, tell me exactly why you think so the marriage helped him.

[derhawk]

This is an amazing recording, thanks! And really, the people commenting on the other parts of this... I've studied classical music my entire life and from very well respected artists from around the world, and never have I encountered such ignorance and stupidity. I would never think to insult the pianism of Barenboim, or the conducting of Celibidache. If I don't like them, it's ME... not them.

[kopp1981]

Celibidache and Barenboim are both masters and this is a wonderful performance.

[BrunoLien]

Barenboïm succeeds in making this fascinating despite Celibidache's slow tempi. What an artist!

[mathpianist93]

No. I think it's the complete converse of what you said: Barenboim chose the slow tempo and Celibidache makes the orchestral sounds awe-inspiring.

[BrunoLien]

I confirm totally what I had written one year ago. Celibidache is well-known for his very very slow tempi at the end of his life, and Barenboïm has often played this opus a little faster, for instance, wonderfully, with Barbirolli or Mehta.

[MichaSchlechtriem]

Celi???Arshole!

[stomachpunch]

Barenboim very good-This is an extremely difficult concerto-beautiful of the Romantic period-thanks for sharing

[stomachpunch]

wonderful-thanks for this amazing performance-marvelously

performed

[SoCalTrojan]

one of my favorite parts of this concerto
