Brahms - Emil Gilels, Ballade Op.10 No. 1 in D minor

[mikejr41387]

@newFranzFerencLiszt you've just revealed your incredible ignorance, and horrible grasp of the english language

[newFranzFerencLiszt]

@mikejr41387 Scusa, la prossima volta vengo a fare un corso accelerato da Vostra maestà eminentissima e sommo sapere concernente la materia musicale, dato che io sono inadatto a esprimere giudizi in merito.

Beautiful playing - full of Brahmsian drama and breadth. I heard Gilels in the late 70s play the Schumann Piano Concerto - stunning (if a bit slow) - Such wonderful sound!

[Jayangaz]

does anyone know if this is the one on ameb grade 8 leisure?

[Flajole1979]

@Jayangaz it is in AMEB grade 8th Manual list but not the leisure, Piano exam(prof)



[otherjoe1234]

brahms' music can draw some interesting responses. even during his time he was either panned for producing "empty" and "weightless" works or praised for the opposite. tchaikovsky hated brahms, his reviews of brahms are rather famous. and i have to admit i agree with his critiques mostly, brahms' music really doesn't do much for me.

[zimmermann1986]

Nice. This was always one of my favourite pieces to play

[Gargantupimp]

@zimmermann1986 I dont get it, is this supposed to be good music?

[zimmermann1986]

@Gargantupimp If you have to ask... don't even worry about it

[spind]

Gilels,a true giant... BTW, according to the recently published Richter biography, the story about Gilels dying because of a wrong injection is a complete fabrication.

[Horrible28]

sounds like a funeral. too draggy.

[aaabbbccc5]

He is a master!

[sumfilipinodude]

You know he means business because his bangs flail about.

Fichtre je ne m'en lasse pas !

[morvensky]

That is fine, you don't have to listen to it :)

[kempff95]

@Kalen1457 if you don't like classical music get your ass out of hear and never come back.

i hate the people who say its boring,what boring????????

you are completely don't understand any music if you say those things about brahms.

so,if you dont enjoying listening classical music fuck you.

[Kalen1457]

kempff95 I love classical music-as a matter of fact, its the only music I enjoy. Just look at my favorites, I have at least 1000 videos of classical music. I just think this piece is rather bland-I've listened to tons of music-mostly piano. In addition, I play piano-so that also testifies to the fact that I like classical music. You shouldn't generalize like that and assume that I think ALL classical music is boring. From the contrapuntal music of Bach, to the revolutionary music of Beethoven,

[Kalen1457]

to the plethora of imaginative music of Liszt-all the way to the sometimes goofy melodies of Prokofiev, Stravinsky, and avante gardists like Leo Ornstein. I love the music. Further more, why would I favorite about 1000 classical music videos if I "dont enjoy" listening to classical music as you presumed? Least play it?

[thedudethatkilledyou]

@Kalen1457 I would say it sounds like you only enjoy loud/fast or extremely technical pieces. Considering the fact that every composer you listed is known primarily for his large works, or highly technical pieces. (Obviously all of them have smaller, more subtle works but in general) I find it particularly suspicious that you didn't list Chopin on your list of great composers. Thus, your opinion of piano works like this is rather suspect...

[Kalen1457]

@thedudethatkilledyou

Liszt isn't ALL technical, nor is Beethoven and Bach. ANd by the way I do admire Chopin as a great composer. Just look at my channel, I even posted two videos of me playing his music. I like nearly all composers-this piece just didn't capture me.

[punkpoetry]

@Kalen1457 I wasn't crazy about it either in the beginning, but it's a grower

[LoftyProduction]

@Kalen1457 I agree, I find this piece of music rather flat... dull if you will.

[Junief1]

@kempff95 Take it easy, you'll pop a vein!

[welldunneav]

Oh Gilels, you never fail to impress me =]

[kedmann074]

These short piano works by Brahms are mana for the soul! And Gilels is a first rate baker!

[Gargantupimp]

@kedmann074 you bake your mana?

[kibbson]

Brilliant. He really played that well, and good Brahms players are very hard to come by. Every note sung perfectly.

[karmaya55]

I saw Gilels play the 4 Ballades at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, NL - guess it was 1977. The previous year I saw him do the Brahms Opus 116. A wonderous musician... wish he were still with us.

[Ellinidara]

Legendary Russian pianistic school,and russian incredible talents.

[ariayamanaka]

Bravo!!!!!!

[antoinezygfryd]

On sait pour qui le coeur de Brahms a longtemps chanté;et Guilels reprend le chant afin qu'il ne s'éteigne pas.

[polskaczech]

Absolutely, the hair is no problem!!!!Thanks for post.

[VegliaBorletti]
