Tchaikovsky, Piano Concerto No. 1 - Mov 1, Part 1/3 (Martha Argerich, 1973)

[75353866]

Is this in D minor?

[patrahilevlampiev]

not a genius...a goddess

[pizzazzip12]

I love the piano part

[jackshitize]

that woman is a genius!

[zorac91]

this is pure sex! Fantastically interpreted!

[monp06]

7:40 almost there 7:58 orgasm

seriously, wtf ... this is mindbogglingly exciting

[pabolin1]

Could Emminen or Maddonna do music like this???..

[StringSectionTheoris]

@pabolin1 Probably not, but it would be nice if people would stop mentioning their names here. They have nothing to do with classical music and to be frank, I simply dislike hearing about them.

[eamonosu]

@pabolin1  -Why would they even try? it would be pointless, its been done already

[deosyx6]

@pabolin1 Madonna is pretty mature.. She would 'Hung Up' to try and be 'Sorry' to fail attempting :)

[djfakt]

@pabolin1 Of course not! It takes tens of thousands of hours to be able to play an instrument properly. Those clowns haven't put in even a fraction of that practicing ANYTHING.

And they have NEVER put down anything close to the talent of Tchaikovsky's compositions.

And you've spelled both of their names incorrectly.

[LittleBabyWheeler]

I can imagine there being a lot of pressure on the pianist at times when the conductor, and the rest of the orchestra, depend on them to keep time, so that the fills of the orchestra don't come in awkwardly.

This is my favourite concerto. I can't listen to Tchaikovsky's waltzes but his concertos are pure magic.

[Iustinification]

I wonder if they breathe the same air as we do...

Probably not.

[TheKorespodent]

Gott hat den Menschen erschaffen, weil er von Affen entäuscht war - und dannach...

[cooldudeyoucanhaveit]

all i can say is wtf

[vdbennett317]

Beautiful, Lovely... 

[ThePVGS1]

I prefer this over Daniel Barenboim

[heinzgilbert]

The octaves at 7:56 makes me want to say bad words. How on earth did she manage to do that?!!!

[ButterflyVampire43]

@heinzgilbert Hours and hours and hours and hours of practice for months.

[Candlegary]

@heinzgilbert The day will be so rewarding when I manage to play octaves like that at that speed.

[jacko1232]

PIANO SOLO! I've listened to this piece many times, but I've never seen it being played. B-E-A-UTIFUL.

[JOROTIK]

sola NAIRI GRIGORIAN,es la unica que toca tchakovskiy,como DIOS MANDA,restos es un intento fallido,gracias

[theghettoloser]

A farmer played some classical music to hundreds of turkeys. As soon as the music started, the turkeys fell silent; they remained silent all the while the music played. But, immediately the music stopped, the turkeys started gobbling again. It was incredible to watch!

I can go from classical to James Brown to Reggae to pop to African, and back to classical again. ;)

Classical is for getting lost deep within your mind, for escaping evrythng outside it. Each genre of music has a time & a place.

[Stevemc90]

that 1:20 close up shot...oh my God.

[Noazma]

im 15 and sometimes im in the mood for wu-tang, sometimes im in the mood for coldplay but im always in the mood for tchaikovsky!

[clonirani]

"Something",the best I ve heard.

[tisho91]

19 people either clicked the wrong button or don't understand what music is about.

[Rinny0o]

people laugh because I listen to classical.

[skywalkeridrg]

When I listen to masterpieces like this one, I feel the world has an alternate perfect reality for us where I don't have to hesitate for any decision I make.

[frenchbassoon]

French bassoons <3

[ancientsolar]

Ive not heard many concerto`s but this has to be one of my favorites ~

This is a very animated piece of music!

[darthyanyu91]

[hellynaw]

Pletnev plays Tchaikovsky excellent performance!

[whoremouthkid]

17 people are faggots

[franksalcido]

Sometimes the pianist was playing too fast.

[Equidad100]

Me encanta!

[Argonath18]

[musictonncmc]

Thank you for post this. I like it.

[danilinocunha]

muito bom esse video

[domisthebomb09]

I've always thought that at 3:10 was the end of it because that's when the song on my IPOD would stop.

[paulostroff99]

Awesome!

[newzaratustra]

Martha rocks!

[eGsistence13]

You should take a listen to Brahms too.

[anagittigana]

Too fast - I like when it's played a bit slower.

[TheZaaak]

I'm 16 years old and I love classical music . this is only one real music in the world, it is feeling: when you whant cry or when you are good mood classical music is allways with you...

@TheZaaak so rock is fake and bule is fake jazz is fake......

dude eveything is real everything is fake!!!!!!!!!!

] it only ups to your heart

[Hrimthur666]

I so love this music. Tchaikovsky is my all time favorite composer of classical music. And I am a metal head ;) Just few people recognize the link between those two genres.

Argh, this is so beautyful!

[espanhol20]

i play cello and i dont understand very well of tecnics of piano.but i know that she play very well ( that's why she has a lot of people that admire her).

Furthermore the music like a most part of people that had comment this video said is one of the best of romanthique period and one of the best of ever.

fantastique

:)

[Aurohm]

i love how she only uses two fingers to play the piano at 1 :52 ish... (kinda phrased awkward but omgosh, so silly!!! :)

[chapsdxf]

you should listen to " Hoodoo " by MUSE, some of the chords are the same and even the rythm is similar

that's why i love MUSE , making new kick ass songs with classical influences

[DIRO1971]

Wonderful !!!

[migas28]

how can this not be consideres the most divine form of music? it really makes me sad to see so much musical ignorance. yes, because we, the classical lovers, know the actual society music, and we choose to still worship these divine creations - they, on the other hand, know nothing (or very little of our music), and they actually make fun of it... let them stay in ignorance and we'll continue to listen to argerich performing this breathtaking piece

[neiladriancabanda]

I'm just 12 and almost all the people in my school don't like classical music only my music teacher and i understand you people

[PaccoPuccaxD]

Holy shit!!!!

This is so amazing!!!!

I love it!!!

[hackwoods]

I like Mov1 best.

[rvdgm919]

My friends and I are also really into instrumental music. I just came to this by chance. And I'll say it's so awesome how she plays the piano like that. It's to perfection. :DDD

[kitaonthesand]

I don't understand it at all. Sounds so tough, so fragmented, so broken. Should it be a token of anger or hatred or discontented or struggling or something?

[jonathas86]

What is that??

This is fantastic!!!

[MargaretDuan]

this lady...

wildly

beautifully

=)

[MrAdamkober]

Why can we now not produce magical songs such as these anymore? Seems like a pity really....

[ladyIntegrath]

Increible ... me encanta, es genial.

[ficolossale]

7:58 - 8:10 fastest octaves ever!!!

[goingtobe]

maybe you would like this concerto.

just write the word FREAKOLLO, and you would get to a 2 parts concerto enjoy.

[fabricioteidy]

lady gaga cracks me up lol...wtf is that anyways???

brainless shit thats what it is lol

[GoTFCanada1230]

Classical music is the root of all musical existence. That's why classical music is the best of them all. It's the origin of music. my iPod is flooding with classical music and it still wants more!

[benjamin4842]

I agree with you JenLynn, I play classical Piano, I have some videos posted if you want to look.

[ilovexxxandporn]

Nowadays music is so senseless and cheap without feelings behind it.When i listen to that masterpiece its like flying away into another world.

[fredericfranc]

Why don't you all guys who are defending classical music here, instead go on the attack and attack all of popular music without exception. Is there any popular music that can be defended in any way whatsoever? You know very well that there is not. So go out there, and do the right thing, finally, and devote the rest of your life to stamping out the bad stuff. Lenin said that attack is the best defense.

[kingwaffleIII]

your a communist relax bro. Music is really not about fighting. Not opposed to showing someone up talent-wise though.

[OboeplayerZ]

This is on my iPod. Imagine that, an 18 year old person having classical music on their iPod. Actually...that's all my iPod is. Thank goodness for Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Beethoven, Debussy and the rest!!!

[BlackFlame39]

Yeah, I'm 16 and love classical music. The depth that it has, and the skill that is required to create something like this is phenomenal.

[thedirtydeltas]

@BlackFlame39 Good, do you really need a congratulations on being 16 ,age really has nothing to do with anything here music is universal.

[Imagine1350]

I wonder what she's saying to herself...

[sinrazak0311]

Happy birthday Tchaikovsky!

[sccsh678]

I like Russian composers!

[FLAMERNECRO]

Damn, I'd be tired playing piano part after 6-7 minutes, holy shit

[death0personified]

a happy birth day to one of my favorite composers of all time.

[fikdulia]

Elsker hende..

[19BeyondRedemption18]

Yes, I agree with you!! This music is really far too underestimated in our generation.

[Theilker1]

I love it...

[badonkadonkd]

@imbsuk how can you speak of being open minded when you just made such a sweeping statement. Im from a middle class 'proletariat' family and can truly appreciate classical music, i study biomedical science so im hardly stupid either. Just because you inherited your famiiles bullshit exploitative bourgeoisie money doesnt mean you inherited good music taste. Small minded stuck up pretentious arse hole

[Lymphaticnessicity]

@badonkadonkd I have to commend the gravity of your supreme awesomeness in making such a statement!  I feel the same way.

[misuty1]

2:15 ... love it

[basist1000]

ye im 14 aswell and i cant get enough of it

[JenLynnLab]

@basist1000 :D! That's just amazingly awesome

[kphzorz]

replace the composer's baton with a sword an you'd have a murdering machine.

[pianoorganman]

I love this womans playing!

[JenLynnLab]

All classical music is far too underestimated in my generation. I'm fourteen and this is the music I love. Anybody else agree?

[SickForest]

@JenLynnLab I agree, though I´m 23 years old.

Since I hear this performance, I get obsessed with the piano, Martha Argerich, the classic music and Tchaikovsky.

By the way... Analize this note: 8:21

Does anybody find it so dramatic, like I do? I love it... Like if we are falling down a sheer since 7:42... That note (8:21) kill us, we are on the ground, our body moves slow through agony and our hand falls, like the last movement (8:22-8:36)... Then we reborn...

[cleveroonie]

@SickForest its a killer note at 8.21 but the pause beforehand, makes it more profound.

I like the build up at 8.00 onwards too

[SickForest]

@cleveroonie Yeah! The pause! that´s what I´m talking about too!... It makes me shiver!... She is so precise, not before or after, the note is where it belongs... Oh, no words!

[JenLynnLab]

@SickForest I love it :D

[cleveroonie]

@JenLynnLab  - to fully appreciate a classical piece, it should be played over and over again.

I dont think alot of people have a musical ear that can appreciate the music in its entirety

[JenLynnLab]

@cleveroonie I agree. For me, my sister (who is 21) started playing this in the car because she's a music major and it just bored me to DEATH!!! That was until she began playing some Liszt. She really helped with my development in music. I just wish more people were influenced the same way I was

[imbsuk]

@JenLynnLab Not just your generation. Any generation. The proletariat don't like it. The middle class like bland insipid stuff like Swan Lake. Most people just aren't open minded enough. And that's a shame, because it's extremely powerful music.

[jengirl2]

@JenLynnLab i TOTALLY agree. i appreciate and listen to all sorts of music but I have a special place in my heart for Classical. I listen to it everyday!! It truley moves me and is sooo underestimated!

[JenLynnLab]

@jengirl2 I like this :)

[thegalacticfilms]

@JenLynnLab agreed

[ksenia0000]

@JenLynnLab

it is so very good you like the classical music. i believe it demonstrates certain issues of your personality. however i dont believe the classics is now underestimated. it must not be expected everyone enjoys this style because it's too deep and rather complicated. the one who thinks and feels will always enjoy this music. and i believe there are quite enough such geeks among us. cheer up :-)

[bulls7123]

@JenLynnLab Yeah you're right. I'm 22 but still, this generation's youth has musical tastes which are pretty dull (or dumb), and it's sad.

[indieROXmySOX]

@JenLynnLab I definitely agree, I absolutely love classical (and a ton of other stuff) and I just turned 18 (but i've been listening for a long time) and i must say my friends or other people simply think i'm crazy when i listen to classical music

[ximilixaca]

@JenLynnLab I'm 20 and its a shame people know more about rap than they do about tchaikovski, vivaldi, and mozart...its sacrilege

[YumYum0522531]

@ximilixaca Maybe these people know more about rap because they're taught more about rap. Instead of criticizing our society, you should go out in the world and teach these people you are "ashamed" of...Psh, You're all talk!

[singaporerock]

@JenLynnLab hell yea!!! im 15 and i LOVE classical music

[papelecia]

@JenLynnLab I'm sixteen, from Brazil, and agree :)

[maytechobi]

@JenLynnLab

I'm in love of a good sound of a piano, sometimes it makes me cry, I used to study music since I was 13, then I had to quit for life fault... but Classical music was, is and will be the most extraordinary thing to listen to.

I'm 23 now.

Give it a chance to study it a little... you won´t regret it.

[Pikatroid42]

@JenLynnLab I agree! I've been listening to this music since I was in the womb! I'm 15 now, and I can't get enough of it.

[sinrazak0311]

@JenLynnLab You silly goose, this isn't classical. This is romantic!

:D

[DogzRock88]

@sinrazak0311 haha

[JenLynnLab]

@sinrazak0311 Well then...hahah. I know it's romantic but it's classified as classical :) hehehe

[faidelano]

@JenLynnLab definitely!

[hugosacor]

@JenLynnLab I have the same age as you and i a 100% agree

[ankabayan]

@JenLynnLab

I agree with you, I'm also from your generation and love classical music

[perokomosellama]

@JenLynnLab

me! I'm seventeen and i love clasic music too.You are alone!:D

[JenLynnLab]

@perokomosellama Haha I'm alone? Just kidding :)

[DSween3]

@JenLynnLab Dido. I play classical piano, I'm fourteen, and noone my age gives any attention to classical music. They fill their head with rap.

[Cai77]

@JenLynnLab

I agree, but also i think a thousand years from now people somewhere will be listening to the classical symphonies...will anyone be listening to Lady Gaga? (doubt it)

[hogwartsgirl96]

@JenLynnLab i agree! I'm fourteen too, and classical music is my favorite. I play the piano so that's why I've always loved it. Now a days, all music is Lady Gaga and rap. I mean. That stuff is okay, compared to for example Tchaikovsky. (:

[kingwaffleIII]

i am seventeen but i think that despite advances in almost every area, musical masterpieces are less frequent. Most just try to imitate.

[KX5Kat]

@JenLynnLab

Absolutely, I'm 25 and was the only person who liked this when I was your age. Favourite piece Rachmaninfof Piano Concerto No 2 C#min

[Maihime811]

@JenLynnLab I'm 14, too. I love Classical music (mainly baroque). All people care about these days=Pop, Rap, Rock, Etc. I mean, I like pop, but still.

[Christianvirtue]

@JenLynnLab I agree, and I'm Fifteen.

[cchj768]

@Christianvirtue It's obvious you like classical music with a shitty name like "Christianvirtue"

[Christianvirtue]

@cchj768 I fail to see your point, you've criticized my name but have failed to explain why it's undesireable. Your comment is very silly because you've made an empty assertion. Because you're comment lacks conjecture it's to be considered fallacy.

[ViceVersa2009]

@JenLynnLab I agree, I am soon to be 14 too.

[Deathscream51]

@JenLynnLab

I agree im fourteen too lol

[capncoolio]

@JenLynnLab Agree.

I'm just 18 and I've listened to classical for years now. Sure, my friends make fun... but they just don't get it.

[Runechief808]

@capncoolio I KNOW RIGHT! i feel the same way.

[ataboodream]

@capncoolio They may make fun...

but they will never experience anything as beautiful or as moving in their lives.

You're part of a VERY special group of people. Be proud!

[AlVasilis]

@ataboodream I really agree...I the only one in the whole school who likes classical music...At first everyone was so annoying by telling that i am out of era...FOOLS!!! Classical music is always modern...For me i think that they just do not know what they are missing...A life is enough for classical music but classical music is not enough for a life...and i perfectly think that as i will continue to study, write and hear classical musical i will be always happy...By the way awesome recording...

[crazycellist973]

@AlVasilis I am sorry to hear the way your school is. I am very fortunate to live in a town where the public school is very supportive of the arts. We are fortunate enough to have one of the top orchestras in the State of Minnesota (USA). We have a very large music program (3 choirs, orchestras & bands - and 2 extra ones for each before school -all by audition except for the lowest group in each) for a town of 25,000. Don't give up - surround yourself with others like yourself! 

[Pauliwog13]

@AlVasilis Well in my opinion, modern music like 'Rap' etc. wont last 500+ years, want to know why? Because it gets old unlike Bach's music which has survived for a long time,although not everyone listens to it, it a hell a lot more than anybody listening to 'rap' is 600 years. Thats why this music is so good. Anyone nowadays can make rap. But to compose a piece of classical music takes talent, time and effort

[wukillah]

@Pauliwog13 Trust me you can't rap. And opposing rap and classical music is pointless.

[mcmusician1992]

@capncoolio i kno just what u mean!! im 18 too and i listen to, sing, and play classical music! i love classical music, there're many foundational principles to learn 4rm it!!

[musicalesjess]

@capncoolio wow, didn't know i was lucky duck. all my friends listen to classical and we have discussions about it. sorry that must suck :/

[liud128]

@capncoolio "friends" ? There is absolutely no shortage of kids that still play classical instruments. You're not "classy" just because you listen to this music. Enjoy it because it's enjoyable, not because you feel like it makes you better than your friends.

[Seanze329]

@liud128 Agreed! So many other kids on here keep boasting about it but there are plenty of people at my school who listen to this stuff anyway. I listen to it because I enjoy and others don't because they don't enjoy it. It has nothing to do with class.

[klickenpod]

@JenLynnLab 100%. Since I was 5 I enjoyed listening to Ravel. Mind you, I enjoy other things, too.. I happen to love The Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Jay-Z.. but uh.. classical has always been my first love and it is now my profession.

[christhian599]

A pesar del juego rápido de Martha el desarrollo es maravilloso por ser una pieza clásica del genio Tchaikovsky la orquesta de Suiza es notable sin embargo, hay un acompañamiento japonés que es sencillamente sublime Gracias You Tube Y gracias Kimolerik Christhian599

[gongo09]

I think she plays too fast but all the same, very good.

[pavol1980]

Hermosísima piezaa!!!

[khongcothithoi]

elle est exactement une des plus grands pianistes du monde :)

[pipeorganloverNJP]

This is my favorite piano concerto in the entire classical music repertoire.

[pipeorganloverNJP]

Oh, I already said that before... Haha

[leolee8829]

Lang Lang plays much better than you ...

[khongcothithoi]

@leolee8829 : écoute bien, mon ami ! Martha Argerich est beaucoup plus meilleure que lui.

langlang's talent is nothing compared to Martha's, not to mention the beauty, nobility, etc !

[maddorox]

@leolee8829 HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!! O_O wait are you serious? hope not.... Lang Lang's performance is = Bang Bang

[daruta1]

great russian composer!

[tangyorangy]

great stamina !!!!

incredible !!!!!!!!!!!!

V^_^V

[imholyangel]

how impressive that a human can use his/her bare hands to do God's work!

[Drclassical]

So, so, so entirely and completely FABULOUS!! I love Martha - I idolize her and I've met her twice. I can die happy.

[satushik]

peace <3 + masterpiece <3 ... adore it

[mkyker]

Jeez, this woman PWNS! Fantastic.

[pipeorganloverNJP]

I absolutely love this piece. This is my favorite piano concerto. And the performance is transcendental, too.

[tukatso2]

realmente impressionante o talento dessa pianista, embora existam melhores, tem um som muito agradavel o seu toque. e essa sonata é simplesmente maravilhosa!

[meagamon490]

shoot! those horns are SOO out of tune at the start. yuck.

[simbles1]

@meagamon490 now why would you think that? they are perfectly in tunr just playing notes that don't fit to give it a more dramatic effect.
