Zimerman - Beethoven, Piano Concerto No. 5 - II Adagio

[elypetrof]

è qualcosa che le parole non possono escprimere...quando il pianoforte entra è qualcosa di incredibile.........vengono quasi le lacrime..........un suono che ti entra dentro all'anima........e al min. 2:37 / 2:38 posso anche morire su quel "sidoredo" ♥ ♥ ♥

[LudwigvonBernstein]

@elypetrof Come hai ragione! Stasera qualche lacrima è scesa, io che non sono abituato a piangere. Si può non amare questo capolavoro? Se poi in vece di Beethoven abbiamo la coppia Bernstein-Zimerman allora possiamo stare tranquilli sul risultato!

Lo ascolterei sempre....

Riesce a produrre, come tutta la buona Musica del resto, un effetto catartico. Ciascuno può sentirsi in pace con sé stesso. E' una musica che fa scordare tutta la tristezza del mondo!

[Dodo251]

2:22 - 2:40 is beyond perfect. Word really can't describe how beautiful this is.

[mgomeza72]

IMAGINE¡¡¡ I LIKE REGGAE MUSIC, SALSA, SOFT ROCK, HEAVY METAL; BUT WHEN I LISTEN THIS MUSIC, I CRY, IS SO BEATIFUL ¡¡¡¡¡ THE ADAGIOS ARE MY FAVORITE (ALBINONI, AIR SITRING, BARBER, CLARINET CONCERT,ETC) AND THE BEETHOVEN 9TH IS THE GREATEST. I ACEPT RECOMENDATIONS. AND PLEASE EXCUSE MY ENGLISH.

[queenyousra]

unworldly!



[edwin810507]

it's the sound from heaven

how did Beethoven done this masterpiece

[fanbrazil11]

5:06 is the best part. My heart skips a beat whenever I listen to this section. So heartbreakingly beautiful and tender...

[Pladask]

We see the old master conducting the movement with the melody which clearly served as an inspiration for one of his own masterpieces, "Somewhere" from West Side Story.

[TheOboist]

In questo movimento bisogna dare molta emozione, cosa che questo pianista fa VERAMENTE bene......se si eseguono solo le note, possono anche essere tutte giuste e precise, ma non avrebbe senso comunque!......

[toucette]

What incredible trills

[nestearocks1]

my friend jack off to this music....

[TheGreatMaster77]

@Stravinskij0 Grazie, soprattutto per la descrizione! :)

[14chiaretta]

6:00 :')

[gadzooks004]

Yup. Ikelleners is right.

I noticed that slipup at about 2:19 as well. Not like Zimerman at all. Quite a glaring mistake.

[vaust]

@gadzooks004

I would have found it erroneous moreso if it seemed like an error in the performance, was noticeably out of key or rhythm, which I perceived none of.

[MrFpam]

@gadzooks004 Barely noticeable, if indeed it was a mistake! This is after all a live performance! You are either being ironic or ridiculously hypercritical, missing all the good things!

[tierzuchtZentral]

He looks like with a overview like Jesus good god

[No5zap]

Heavenly!



[ISuckAtPianoPlaying]

Lovely...

[Lorenaserrano68]

cómo puede haber 4 personas en el mundo a quien no le guste esto? ¡¡¡por favooooor!!!

[ikelleners]

2:19 is not so good.....

Kinda slipped I think..

start at 2:10 and you can hear it......

[Lisztman1]

@ikelleners : that's actually a grace note.....

[habana999]

@ikelleners get over yourself it's beautiful why ruin it with your pedantic comments - really - its pathetic

[Ottozimerman]

Això és màgia blanca, res no pot superar tanta bellesa. M'agrada moltíssim. L'he escoltat infinitat de vegades i mai no em cansa. Aquest "Emperador" (Zimerman-Bernstein) passarà a la Història, com ha de ser, sens dubte. Beethoven impressiona, no se'l pot definir. La seva vastitud és tan inefable com l'Univers.

[thekingofpiano93]

Very very very beautiful!!!

[founder69]

I am In Love........ ^_-

Awwwww... I cannot stop listening to this master piece!!!! Love it so much!!!

[insicurafragile]

Dio santo, ogni volta, ogni volta i stessi brividi!! Quando ascolto questo pezzo tutto perde di importanza e subito ritorno da me...

[sofloc]

This I first heard in that beautiful Australian film with school-girls and a shepherd climbing a rock. Loved it ever since :-)

[davlak2]

Zimerman plays like GOD

[kenedal1]

Music that shifts my soul. The greatest piano movement

[salentino007]

porca zozza!pelle d'oca e basta

[memento1968]

la musica più bella mai creata dall'uomo.

[rc956]

I love this performance!

[LoreenaFromBrazil]

Look!

There's a Bee Gee playing the piano!

[gibutino2]

ADAGIO!!!

[juliekwan]

met him once and he's humble..

i believe thats what makes his music beautiful

i love this.

[tekla877]

@juliekwan Who are you talking about ? Bernstein or Zimmerman ?

[Monicasempiterno]

No me guta la música clásica mucho, Sin embargo, cuando vi el Discurso del Rey, escuch;e una pieza especial. Pude identificarla a través de Youtube y aquí está. Tengo en la memoria cuando el rey sale al balcón a saludar con su familia justo después de dar el discurso. La música es hermosa.

[Monicasempiterno]

I do not like classical music. HOWEVER, when I watched the King's speech.. I heard a special piece.. I could identified it through Youtube and HERE IT IS... I have in my memory the part when the king goes out to the balcony with his family after the speech. The music is just great.

[gazo75]

To be honest, I didn't know Richard Stilgoe was a concert pianist.

I'm new to all this classical business and just taking a tour around what's been recommended to me and thus far, this is absolutely top top of the tree. I can't believe this piece if music came from a single persons mind. Of course, the dedication and willingness and love of the musicians who play it still 200 years or so later...well it makes a dead hand trace a line down your spine until you shiver with watery-eyed joy.

[alexface211]

And so it was, that Beethoven created the romantic era...

This is a fantastic example of how he contributed to the transition from Classical to Romantic. Expressive beyond belief. How anyone could dislike this is beyond me, but there we go, that's opinion for you.

[s900203]

No one plays the piano more poignantly than does this man. To me, the greatest pianist alive.

[thelovelycherise]

I am in love with this. This has always and forever will be my favorite piece.

[dancelover1430]

5 people misclicked ....

[ForzaAquila]

@dancelover1430 enough with the disliking comments they get on my nerves especially the clichéd ones like the one u just posted.

[dancelover1430]

@ForzaAquila hey! i didnt dislike it!!!

[ForzaAquila]

@dancelover1430 i know you didn't i said i dislike people who post comments on the ppl who disliked. like 5 people misclicked or 5 ppl were overemotioned that their hand was trembling when they clicked like or 5 people thought it said dis i like or why is there even a dislike button on a beethoven piece or 5 people are mozart fans or 5 justin beiber fans ... do i have to keep going or shall i continue? yes these comments get on my nerves.

[freddiemercury777]

4:08 The greatest sound of world

[whneo97]

@freddiemercury777 No, you're wrong...the greatest sound is between 0:00 to 9:19!

[freddiemercury777]

@whneo97 You do exaggerate!

[amorediahmad]

Heavenly sweet!

[guldayt]

adoro beethoven mi commuove sempreeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[freddiemercury777]

I very very love it! It is just too perfect, you can feel sadness and distress in the music, but at the same time, you can feel purity, sincerity and tender feelings of peace.

[manouchehr7]

@freddiemercury777

Thanks for your nice comment

You have expressed my feeling in a very perfect way about this beautiful piece of music.

[freddiemercury777]

@manouchehr7 You are welcome! :-)

[annaka100]

Zimmerman is simply the best...

[insicurafragile]

I am this music, I am.

[87325]

4 dislikes are bewildering.

[gcvandersluis]

Schitterend!!!!!! Jules

[keetner]

Ah! The ending of the piece is the beginning of the Rondo :0

Never noticed that.

[habana999]

I cannot believe I haven't commented on at least one of my previous 200 visits! - well, there are no words to describe.

[glauxberg]

O maestro Leonard Bernstein se parece com o Inesquecível Sr. Karajan mais gordo. A cada dia você me emociona mais e mais! Mais um presente maravilhoso da minha doce Princesa de Veneza.

[Bodek1100]

Wspaniałe Adagio, urzekające wykonanie - ileż tu nostalgii, liryki, romantyczności, wspomnienia namiętnej miłości...wzruszyłem się. Pięknie dziękuję

[zivago54]

Il più grande Adagio mai scritto per pianoforte!

[ErikJ92]

so much emotion. an emotional journey.

[wagneristhebest]

poetry in motion. this man is one of the greatest pianists alive. genius.

[manangel1992]

complimenti per le ottime scelte musicali (e cinefile) e l'esauriente introduzione storica!

[hagop0331]

this is the most beautiful thing ive ever heard...hands down, Zimermans interpretation blows my mind.

[darwinx01]

@Derrifin are you crazy? i've watched the video of Gould playing this and it's way too fast.

Zimerman is much better.

[1992akik]

amazing thing, music is

[mochacoffee24]

@1992akik

i love you, ak

absolutely correct, that is. nobody could say that better than you

[Gwaihirintheair]

Am I in heaven? Beauty in music...

[fledgehog]

zimerman turns the piano into a lyric, melodic instrument, more than any other performer i know.

[Svokel]

I am listening to this beautiful music, watching the very interesting video.

Sad enough, my enjoiment is disturbed by an advertisment, just on the right of the video, with an image of a Mr Giovanni Allevi. He is a piano banger, an incompetent bungler (scalzacani), unhappily very famous now in Italy, who claims to be the contemporary Beethoven.

[mqiknyrl]

wow... simply amazing

[Saretta87]

great....

[RhYthMic93]

Sublime...

[RhYthMic93]

Sublime...



[rodstartube]

this is almost the quality by Claudio Arrau

[rodstartube]

@PlancksTime your comment is too light

[Marxelas]

Un piacere senza paragoni... profondo... intenso... un respiro dell'anima.

L'incontro, il fondersi di energie cosmiche con le forze interiori che ci governano.

Un orgasmo allo stato puro. Zimerman crea, produce energia... dà un senso, rende giustizia al genio. Incantevole.

[ZioRoque]

INCREDIBLE!!!!

[gerberdaisy123]

Stravinskij0: thank to sharing with us this master piece. How we can get this CD or

DVD?

[Stemih40]

This music was made in heaven!

[kochend]

my blood is in uproar, the perfect expression of passion among so many other things. and i too find the most perfect interpretation. what would i give to be part of the audience. though my exuberant little heart may not be able to take it.

[roelallen]

1:54 through 3:00 is the tenderest, gentlest, kindest, and most loving passage in all music that I have ever heard, experienced, or felt... If we want to know the love in side the heart of God, listening to this passage is peeking at it in clear day light... I thank Beethoven and Mozart and others for allowing us a glance, even if for a few moments, of the love and beauty of God... ♥ ♥ ♥

[teresa2610]

precioso pero me gusta mas la parte de orquesta. ( amazing and beautiful, but I prefer the orchestra´s part).

[teresa2610]

precioso , totalmente de pelicula, es maravilloso.

[15Surprise]

wow

[aLfR3dd]

This compositions has in itself the secrets of origin the Universe.

[cosmiclight]

Zimerman, Bernstein and the Wiener Philharmoniker performing Beethoven's 2nd movement of the 5th Piano Concerto make me feel so glad to be alive- Yet I would want this movement played at my funeral as a going away remembrance and my wish for peace in the universe- This work by Beethoven brought to us by Zimerman’s perfection and gift is proof that mankind can live in eternal harmony!

[BoristheONEandonly]

Thank you Zimerman, Thank you Beethoven !!!

[BoristheONEandonly]

Thank you Zimerman, Thank you Beethoven !!!

[F117stealth1]

Non ci sono parole per una sensazione tanto grande...

[peakman2006]

Achingly beautiful.

I cannot imagine a better convergence of talent than Zimerman, Bernstein, and the Wiener Philharmoniker.

[1944fernando]

@peakman2006 Has olvidado a Beethoven querido amigo.

[duxcaesar]

@peakman2006 Pollini, Abbado and Berliner Philharmoniker ??!!

[stefanniemen]

Wspaniała muzyka, wspaniali wykonawcy. Już to pisałem - ale trudno się oprzeć temu, żeby nie napisać jeszcze raz ...

[Hathor2638]

Dios mioooooooo NO TENGO PALABRAS... EL CORAZÓN se me sale.... la mejor interpretación sin duda alguna que he escuchado..... hasta con el temblor en la voz del amante que confieza su gran amor...."!!! Si no fuera por estas obras y estas interpretaciones... Gracias DIos!

[PINKFLOYDPIG2]

beh che dire...niente

[golden8k]

can someone tell me what was in Beethoven's mind while he put all these notes on papers???

[Hathor2638]

@golden8k I can't tell you, but i think that was a love without ends, a very deep love... Something that maybe a lot of people in this world would never know.. Somethig maybe from others worlds unknowns...

[golden8k]

awesome

[Ultrazone91]

If I have known I would have been Beethoven

[golden8k]

@Ultrazone91 my Q. is for Intellectuals, thx

Troppo bello..

[MrDavideblur]

Era meglio che nn li mettevi i commenti perchè nn c'è niente da dire..!troppo fantasticoooo..!

xD

[gianmarcocastro]

questo brano fa parlare il cuore di beethoven e ciò conferma che la musica è vita e che senza di essa nn si potrebbe vivere.

[Nameunavailabletoday]

Almost un-enduringly beautiful. 

Hard to imagine when such transcendent music will ever be written again.

[roman1akid]

@Nameunavailabletoday Not so hard. Answer: When a person of genius will write it.

[Jangle2007]

@roman1akid 202 years since Beethoven wrote this piece and still waiting. I'm not going to hold my breath for the sudden emergence of a modern day musical genius as capable as Beethoven. Or Mozart. Or Bach... Handel...Mendelssohn...Vivaldi­, etc.

[roman1akid]

@Jangle2007 Well, we had Shostakovich and Stravinsky and Prokofiev and such writing into the '50s and '60s, which is relatively modern. Nino Rota and Ennio Morricone are also, I think, geniuses. And, of course, we've had those of comparable brilliance writing in different genres. Pink Floyd, Stevie Wonder, Eric Clapton, Freddy Mercury, John Lennon, Bob Dylan: all artists of brilliance who have composed much magnificent music, and all modern.

[Jangle2007]

@roman1akid That's a pretty solid and satisfying response. I think it remains to be seen how the artists you named (both classical and rock) will fare over the long arc of history. But for me, I ask the deserted-island question: if I could choose the music of just one (or three, or five, etc) artists to listen to for a long time, who would it be? Beethoven and Mozart certainly top that list. After that, the subject is more an open question.

[roman1akid]

@Jangle2007 As would I (I'd place Bach right at the top, with Beethoven and Mozart following, and then Brahms and Wagner). We must ask ourselves: if a man of Beethoven's genius were born in, say, Detroit in the '70s, he'd probably be composing music more like Eminem's than Beethoven's, simply given the culture. Shakespeare would probably be an actor, filmmaker, and novelist; da Vinci an engineer or researcher, Michelangelo an architect. Times have changed, and the means of expression as well.

[roman1akid]

@Jangle2007 You’re a person of fine qualities who understands these dynamics, but most people fail to realize that art hasn’t, as many argue, "died.” It's transforming, its materials ever fluctuating, as Eliot said. In my opinion, Tarkovsky and Kubrick and Bergman are the Dantes and Shakespeares and Tolstoys of this age, Hendrix the Liszt, Lennon the Mozart, Hawking the Newton. History will judge all these men for the superb artists and visionaries they were. I have much hope for our future.

[miliona1re]

Questo adagio e' immenso e Zimerman e Bernstein sono 2 fenomeni

[groovy148]

Hermosa interpretación, hermoso movimiento, mi favorito, que lastima que estos verdaderos maestros nunca se hallan presentado en Mexico. Saludos!

[gneiss88]

Questo brano è di una bellezza sconvolgente. Ogni volta che lo ascolto mi commuovo...non è possibile restare indifferenti ascoltando questa meraviglia...

[pulcinelladacqua]

Una musica che fa tremare per la bellezza che in essa si accende...

[LUF1966]

non ci sono parole .. pura poesia ... incanto dell'anima. non si può restare indifferenti ascoltando questa musica interpretata in modo così eccelso. grazie per averlo pubblicato.

[oainimale]

Amici miei più la sento più mi commuovo.

che abbia bisogno di uno psichiatra? Ditemelo voi.

[oainimale]

Splendida interpretazione di un grande maestro e una grandissima orchestra!

Wspaniał muzyka, wspaniali wykonawcy!

[analunascim]

A peça mais doce do magnífico Beethoven.

[LadyPapagheno]

Grande Musica... Grande Pianista !!!

[LukeMorgagni]

Maybe the "Gold Standard" for this piece....

[glaucodichio]

@LukeMorgagni

if you have a chance listen to Kissin and Levine

[sjwelshy]

This is my favourite slow movement out of all of beethovens piano concertos. I would like this to be played at my funeral ;o)

[Jangle2007]

@sjwelshy This is a magnificent piece, magnifiscently performed. You must also see Zimerman/Bernstein perform the Beethoven Piano Concerto no.3, 2nd Mvt.....it is, perhaps, even more breathtaking.

[shadecross]

one of the most beautiful moments in the history of music... i wish i would have met beethoven :(

[kolkol123145]

lol

[Stefano2071]

Che meraviglia ....

[glaucodichio]

durante una delle sua passeggiate in campagna Brahms chiese ad un contadino chi fosse Beethoven e questi gli rispose: "Quello che ha inventato la musica"

[gabarra]

questo episodio, immagino fittizio, ma molto eloquente e bello, dove viene raccontato??? L'avevo già sentito ma non riesco a risalire alla fonte... qualche aiuto? grazie

[glaucodichio]

@gabarra penso di averlo letto nella "storia della musica" Fabbri editrice circa metà anni '60. Si sa che Brahms fosse un grande camminatore e probabilmente ha un fondo di verità. Comunque provo a cercarla ed eventualmente ti darò la conferma. Per certo so che Liszt aveva invitato Brahms per sentire la sua sonata per piano. Brahms percorse più di 40 km a piedi per arrivare e nel bel mezzo dell'esecuzione si appisolò. Liszt non gradì e per questo non rimasero in buoni rapporti.

[gabarra]

grazie mille per le informazioni ;)

[oainimale]

Mi pare che codesta sonata sia di Beethoven. O no, carissimo glaucodichio.

Perchè parli di Brahms. O forse ti riferivi ad altro?

Illuminami per favore.

[glaucodichio]

@oainimale Certamente è di Beethoven, ma mi riferivo ad un mio commento antecedente che trovi tuttora nei primi venti e dal quale ho dato poi una risposta a gabarra. Ciao. Glauco

[PINKFLOYDPIG2]

incredibile questa opera....
