Concerto for Flute and Harp - W.A. Mozart - Part 2

[animalidades1]

Esto me hace llorar, es una ternura que no puede controlar mi corazon, mi alma se derrite, se embeleza, se quiebra, se extas'ia, el amor, la ternura, la inocencia, se pasean al rededor de esta magia, maravillosa delicadeza y serena paz...

[MegaSexychola]

I'm playing this piece right now, and I'm hoping I will get it at least half as good as this

[FeelGood30]

..A little piece of heaven right here

[Eamesam]

I reacted like Saleri reacted. Utterly spellbound!

[touristemily]

@Eamesam Best comment. I feel the same way. 

[tavana123]

That one person who disliked this music ........must have been deaf-mute and blind.

[tavana123]

That one person who disliked this music ........must have been deaf-mute ad blind.

[MusicallyCharged]

1 person with same genetic problem as beethoven couldn't hear this and pressed dislike!

[connorross123]

Truly, does music get any more godlike than this?

[davyd2385]

hermoso, impresionante, puedo escucharla 100.000 veces y no me canso

[nakedchilli]

wow

[punedav007]

One more such music master piece is, the "Mozart's 27th Piano Concerto's 3rd Movement". Listen to it, and post your thoughts on it. Its the last piano piece Mozart wrote. GOD BLESS ALL.

[punedav007]

I would like to see the person who voted that he/she disliked this piece of music. With Mozart's music, there is no second thought that you wouldn't like it. May the Lord bless every heart where this music enters and makes an impression. May every perplexed heart and anxious soul be calmed with this music. May this music provide tranquility, and melt anger and hatred.

Another such music is Mozart's Requiem, "Introtius". Music lovers, listen to it.

[pyrioni]

beautiful

[lalala87ful]

Voice of God, only Mozart can make it

[castellanoantiguo]

This piece makes me think of a baby sparrow chirping on a tree branch as a westerly wind drowns out the sensitive beauty of such a heavenly tune.

[RandolphoScorchese]

I don't know how anybody can like the sound of the modern flute when the flutist uses vibrato like a motor and Rampal (was) and Galway is the master of vibrato to the point where it becomes hard to distiguish what the actual pitch is. Thank god at least clarinet players let the beauty of the wood sing without vibrato but then modern flutes are made of metal aren't they. Maybe the vibrato is used to cover up the sterile sound of metal!

[MarioMancinelli82]

This song makes you think of the smell of warm baked bread in the oven, and a pie sitting on a window ledge

sublime 

[jay1beaux]

Beautiful

[genesis20201]

Thank you, this is truly beautiful. 

[gjc82071]

My favorite parts of this piece are the changes.

Example: 0:16-0:29 & 1:01-1:15, & so on. Those particular parts are so beautiful.

[Kanashto]

@gjc82071 I like the same parts, exactly. The director for the movie Amadeus chose that specific part to be played in the movie.

[maree584]

@gjc82071 1:52...

[gjc82071]

@maree584 What? The short little flute flutter? hehehe. That's nice too. :-)

[maree584]

@gjc82071 sorry i ment 1:52-2:05 that is the part i like werry much..

[elchairman]

the most charming and relaxing 9:20 min... enjoy!!! (thanks for share)

[daivo7]

sublime



[WillieDines1]

will you simply just shut up and stop interrupting everyone's enjoyment of this musical masterpiece?

Thank you so much for posting this, I've never been much of a listener of classical compositions, but I do know beautiful music when I hear it and this is truly a masterpiece in every sense :)

Top rating always :)

[leoperarm]

thank YOU

[WillieDines1]

@leoperarm

you are most very welcome, appreciation, credit and courtesy should always be given where and when it is due :)

[uiopuiopooo]

@WillieDines1 what!

[leoperarm]

I just wanted people to admire the beauty of the composition itself, I don't care about modern or period-instruments... I like them both so I kindly ask those who do not like this to shut up.

Thank you

Leoperarm.

[Jarajofife]

"Kindly" and "shut up" sound a bit incompatible...

Anyway if you wanted silly and banal "ooohh, I love it" comments maybe you should have posted some Lagy Gaga videos, or so.

That's the "problem" with art music, it motivates debate,analysis, different opinions in listeners. If Mozart's intention had been composing just banally pleasant music he hadn't writen the deep music he wrote; besides, haven't said I don't like this version of the harp & flute concerto, read my comments

Regards

[leoperarm]

@Jarajofife you are all about 'bla bla' and say nothing. Shut up.

[leoperarm]

@Jarajofife thank you for showing how basically your mind works and for stopping here, have a nice day you too and keep admiring my wonderful music.^^

[KarlAmade]

Yuck., In romantic style.... YUCK YUCK, Shame on you! If you absolutely have to upload pre-romantic music upload AUTHENTIC performances.. there is soo much vibrato in this one... Just like a Wagner Opera.

Find the one from The Amsterdam Baroque Orquestra with Ton Koopman. Yes, baroque, they played in a very baroqueish style until this Berlioz and Paganini changed it all.

Hehe, Kind regards

Karl ;P

[duhhh86]

if haydn and beethoven had been as close-minded and pedantic as you, we'd all still be dancing to baroque music today. there's nothing wrong with having a modern interpretation with the piece. it is just another way of understanding the piece from the standpoint of modern day performance.

[Jarajofife]

I'm not so sure Mozart or Beeth. had liked some modern interpretations.

When they chose a kind of orchestra, or chorus with X players and not Y I suppose they had their reasons; or when they chose some instruments, and not others, because of its sonic qualities, I'm not sure they had agreed with some liberties many musicians today take.

I understand your point, but I'm not sure we have to understand a piece from a modern standpoint better than the composer's, and his time's aesthetics, one

[Jarajofife]

Anyway I agree with your idea: there hadn't been musical "evolution" if the observance to the norms and styles of the past had been too strict; but what is to do isn't to play the old music from modrn standpoints but to play new music.We have great (& not so great, true)contemporary music ignored by most of the public because they prefer "modernized" classics.I think "updating" music that wasn't made for us but for people from centuries ago instead learning to listen our time's one in an error

[duhhh86]

what i mean is, u must keep in mind that the composer did not have the choice of means of expression in the way that the modern performer does. so, it would be too hasty to assume that period interpretations are necessarily better and closer to the composer's intentions. for all u know, mozart might have preferred the sound of a modern violin in the performance of his works. so it's best to refrain from using authorial intention as a means to justify the superiority of period interpretations

[Jarajofife]

Hmm, yes and no. That's a "dangerous" assertion, even if partly right. How do we know what Mozart had done with modern instruments, modern performes, that are in general better trained than past ones, and moden concert halls? Would him even compose the same works or would try to take advantage of modern means of expression ergo write a completely different music?

There's also the aesthetics: for classic aesthetics everything had to be more content, every expression always inside the form;

[Jarajofife]

Breaking rules favoring expressivity is a romantic aesthetical position, hardly acceptable por a classic like Mozart. Assuming he had preferred a performance of some of his piano concertos by 70 musicians and an Steinway gran piano, but he composed for small orchestras and timid pianos because he had no option is just hipotethizing, and sometimes even lying. There are many treatises about interpretation in the classic style by people as famous as Ch. Ph. Emanuel Bach or even Leopold Mozart

[Jarajofife]

and they express very clearly what kind of "sound" was preferred at that time, not because some lack of perfection in instruments (the most perfect violins ever were made 50 years before by Stradivari & Guarneri) or in performers (who were far from modern ones but perfectly competent to play their time's music), but because it was the pathos and the ethos of their time.

We only have one cetainty: what composers wrote and what instruments they chose, nothing else

[Jarajofife]

Imagining they had preferred this or that way of playing their work is a nice exercise of imagination,but it's not authentic;

and let's not mention in Bach, or Monteverdi's music...

Said all this, I must also say that a good "modernized" interpretation is always preferable to a mediocre but respectful one, sure; it's not a matter of "talibanizing" opinions, and there's also room for"negotiation", but being intellectually honest, period interpretations are the closest to what composers made

[duhhh86]

well, all i'm saying is, we gotta keep an open mind. i don't think we can definitively say that a performance with period practices is necessarily better. yep.

have a good day!

[Jarajofife]

Well, you should read about the "galant style", Stamitz and the Mannhein orchestra, and how their more "romantic" way of playing "changed it all", made it the most famous orchestra in the world and influenced almost every composer, Haydn & Mozart included.

I generally prefer historically respectful interpretations as well, but a baroque one is as respectful as a romantic one.

Anyway I prefer a good "unrespectful" version like this to a mediocre but purist one

[maggeo78]

Questa, secondo me, è la parte più bella del concerto...

La mia amica arpista l'ha suonato a Napoli con Abbado...

[leoperarm]

Interesantes amistades que tienes! Genial!

[maggeo78]

XDDDDDDDDDDDDD Ha registrato anche il cd, ma deve ancora uscire!!!!!!!!!

E' quella che lavora al La Monnaie a Bruxelles!!!!!

[leoperarm]

Quiero el disco, mwahahaha! ;-)

[maggeo78]

quando esce te lo passo XDDDDDDDDDD

[loverflicka]

Gracias, leoperarm, por subir este precioso 2º Mov. de este bellísimo concierto (generalmente los segundos mov. son más lentos y más líricos que el resto) Realmente, conozco este concierto desde hace más de 30 años (la primera versión que oí estaba interpretada por el gran arpista español Regino Sainz de la Maza) y siempre me ha subyugado. Lo más curioso es que, en sus propias palabras, a Mozart no le acababa de gustar la flauta... ¡pues anda que si le llega a gustar!

[leoperarm]

Yo tenía entendido que, cuando era niño, lo que no soportaba era el sonido de la trompeta... De todas formas, le gustara o no, no pudo salvarse de él mismo con éste concierto xD

[victorkievUA]

Most enjoyable!

[cantorandopera]

so evocative of a time long past . . . Rowna

[Lilith89ibz]

Gracias! Es precioso :)

[narisnaris]

AMAZING BEAUTIFUL !!!!!

[Glenmed]

Marvellous music and beautifully played. Thanks for this one and sending it on.

[Lohengrin]

all the Innocence in the world :)

[gypsycafe]

I've always wanted to learn how to do this piece. I've been playing the flute for 12 years and I hope to someday find an orchestra to play this with. It is truly amazing.

[leoperarm]

good luck! that would be amazing!
