[filigold]

what sonata is he playing with lang lang!!??

[lhrmeonom]

@filigold Beethoven Appasionate 

[ChesterFanningChorno]

Mr L. Lang has the eyeballs of a frightened goose. Yes, that is my only comment.

[jlupe40]

pasenlo al español por favor..

[Desmonddd2002]

So Barenboim memorized all sonatas by Beethoven while Lang Lang has to use the score. Shame on him lol.

[MrTomt1990]

@Desmonddd2002 Yes but it is a masterclass - analysing how the music should be played. Doing a masterclass without the score infront of you would be very difficult!

[zhuqiushi168]

Wow, 4:47, you have to be really Something so that Barenboim will turns pages for you.^_^ LOL.

[Ray0X0]

I would prefer have seen Arrau giving this lesson ;( ...

[johnliamten]

did not expect it, but I think lang lang did a fine job with that. Maybe we all play well when barenboim is over our shoulder

[A8opi]

barenboim is GREAT !

[merylicius]

hola, disculpe puede cargar los subtitulos para entender mejor. gracias.

[joacosblues]

lang lang said... michael barenboim ??

[Ultrazone91]

@joacosblues I think that it sounds like Michael but probably he said "master" which sounded Michael because of his chinese accent....at least I hope he didn't mistake the name...

[natashkk]

@Ultrazone91 He does not call him Michael. He says "Maestro"!

[Ultrazone91]

@natashkk Exactly, that's what I was saying :-)

[lizlops007]

Watching this series is as exciting as watching the most intense thriller series.

I couldn't wait to click to the next one!

[fisarmonicista]

How do they do to make the Beethoven's sonatas to stay in the same page? every time I try to read from the book is a mess, I prefer to study from fotocopies =D

[Bon0]

Beethoven, I think, the piano sonatas represent, not only for the pianist, but for all musicians and music lovers something unique in his output, And maybe unique in the output of many other composers, you know it was Hans von Bulow who said that Bach is the Old Testament and Beethoven were the New Testament, but I don't want to imbue these works with religious significance. But I think what he meant by that was that this is the basis of our knowledge of music.

[bsd300d]

Lang Lang is sooooooo fucking lame.

[liakosf]

(brassmonkeyjew) Music is not like life! Music is life and life is like music!

[bellinivernon]

Exelente !

[davidofpiano423]

You may have already been asked this, but does this come from a DVD? If so, what is it called?

[brassmonkeyjew]

Music is like life and life is like music :)

[vbatuhan]

I send reply to BachScholar

[ThePVGS1]

Barenboim is the teacher, according to the video. Is your brain on vacation?

[vbatuhan]

Lang Lang is better than Barenboim at Beethoven Sonatas ?

[ThePVGS1]

Not quite yet lol.

[BachScholar]

Masterclasses really should be more for less experienced non-professional pianists. What is the point of using professional pianists like Lang Lang and Biss who already are artists in their own right who play as well or better than Barenboim?

[frogmanpiano]

@BachScholar it's not about technique its about interpretation and understanding the philosophy behind the composer. Each will have their opinion Barenboim has been playing just a little longer than LL & has recorded all the Beethoven Sonatas twice. B's recordings of Beethoven have received wide critical acclaim for years. this is a great way to communicate to all the value of interpretation and understanding. Mentoring goes back centuries..

[itsanthonyhere]

@baseket2ball12 you're*

[lmaka1]

Whether or not one agrees with Barenboim's philosophy of interpretation, one cannot deny that he is brilliant musician with a deep understanding and appreciation for Beethoven. This is great stuff.

[amantdemusique18]

nice!

[superjam18]

Was this Lang Lang's first time playing this peice because he was going kind of slow.

[DangerDucking]

Lang lang's hands are crazy! Looks like they'll break at any moment

[killingangel707]

5:27 Who the hell is "Michael" Barenboim.

[Humperdink18]

Umm....Are you serious? Michael Barenboim is the Argentinean pianst/conductor who's giving this masterclass...... You know, that guy sitting at the end of the piano teaching? lol

[killingangel707]

I thought he was Daniel Barenboim.

[Humperdink18]

Oh. Yes, you're right, his first name is Daniel.

[natashkk]

Michael Barenboim is Daniel Barenboim's son. He is also a musician-

[canikickittt]

haha i thought he was saying 'master'?

[natashkk]

Not 'master', but 'maestro' (in Italian).

[Vermouthvin]

Spanish, man.

[rcc400]

@Vermouthvin

no Italian.

Such Ignorance

[srsplanet]

@rcc400 in italian and in spanish maestro means master

[rcc400]

Yes, I know that, since I speak both languages.

But in music, it comes from Italian.

[isym444]

actually in Spanish it can also mean Teacher...anyway...I can only Speak Spanish as my first language not Italian...

[EricTheRed03]

@natashkk Maestro is master in German too and I'm sure other languages as well

[natashkk]

@EricTheRed03 In German, it actually comes from Italian.

[hermanshermits124124]

@EricTheRed03 no then it is MEISTER

[dantebulsara]

i love david kadouch (L) <3

[henseltetude]

i also had watched the complete masterclasses... for me, the best pianist is Alessio Bax (Lang Lang is next)

[flute1982]

Lang Lang 郎朗 is not good enough.

[PhillipSargeant]

i would be scared if i was up on stage with daniel, i wouldnt feel worthy to play in front of him

[wawasesame]

I had watched the complete DVD of the masterclass. Lang Lang was the best pianist among all the others in this masterclass with Barenboim.

[spaceaeolian]

He reminds me of Mao Tse Tung surrounded by his devout followers all waiving the little red book. Long live Chairman Mao! LOL

[hellomate639]

More like Chairman Lang Lang...

I gotta watch more of these to for my ability...

[natashkk]

I am sorry to disagree with you, wawasesame. For me, Biss was the best.

In any case, I am happy you enjoyed these masterclasses with great Maestro Barenboim.

[anonymousQ45]

thanks for posting these vids. its good to be able to listen to a real master of music instead of these random dumbasses on YT who talk fancy

[cuervo10mayo]

Thank for posting!

[astilleros11000rpm]

Daniel Barenboim is one of the best music artists of our time... i think...

[camilo8907]

don't think it, be sure of that
