josephine mi querida amiga-hermana , cuando salio de cuba en el 1965 , como recuerdo me dejo su concierto favorito , que tantas veces habiamos oido juntos en pro-arte musical , en el teatro auditorium calzada y d en el vedado , aquellos mañaneros encuentros musicales , cada domingo , luego desayunar en el carmelo , eso haciamos entonces , pues de muchos años epistolares , el encuentro con mi amiga fue una maravilla , por eso digo , mientras hay vida , todo es posible , hasta ver el misissipi .
Zimerman is an amazing pianist. I've never heard a better Rachmaninov 2nd concerto than Zimerman's, and the same goes for his recordings of the Chopin ballades and the Schubert impromptus. His Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Schubert, Rachmaninov... well basically his PLAYING is phenomenal. A depth of emotion matched by technical wizardry that makes the most difficult of phrase flow like water under his hands.
Leonard Bernstein is the place of the bigs artists of the history.Toscanini,Klemperer,Stokowski,Szell,Reiner,Koussevitzky,Cantelli,Mravinsky,Bernstein..!
I´m dead serious actually, and ashamed is the last thing I am.. I would be ashamed had I not been totally honest.. Honesty is nothing to be ashamed of. Being a fraud is something to be ashamed of, so it´s Bernstein who should be ashamed, not me. Everything he does, all his expressions and movements are designed for maximumum effect and is pure show. He´s performing for the audience and the camera. Directing the music he is not. Sorry.
I was with Lenny twice.In Buenos Aires in 1958,in one concert as 2nd. conductor of NYPh (the titular was Mitropoulos).The 2nd.,in a dinner at Alexander Brailowsky`s home,in NYC,in 1974.(107 East 6.....Street)
Beethoven and Zimerman, two giants. Bernstien? Looks like he´s stiring a pot of soup and contributes nothing to this masterpiece. He would have made a great cook, and should have stuck to writing musical scores for Hollywood musicals like west side story.
Ha! I always knew Zimerman as a Chopin interpreter and I knew this concert in other versions. This is so beautifully played, with such grace and precision, that it sounds like it's Chopin playing Beethoven!!!! I know that whom the former didn't actually like Beethoven all that much, but for me this is piano bliss!
Zimermann... Every thing he plays is perfectly clean, precise and so expressive.. I am studying the II Chopin's ballade, and his one is the best version.. He is simply the best!
@AnnalisaFerrara86 E' vero! E' un pianista leggendario. Anche nelle parti più scabrose del concerto n°2 di Brahms diretto da Bernstein riesce ad eseguire la partitura in maniera fantastica. Un genio!
This piano sounds different than the ones in most of the other versions I've heard -- it's much brighter. Still amazing, though. 5 stars for Zimerman, Bernstein, and Beethoven.

Ha ha ha Bernstein is a clown. What are you talking about, an artist?????? Waving a stick around has absolutely nothing to do with art.
Did he compose the music? No.
Did he play the music? No.
Did he teach any of the musicians how to play or read music? No.
So what did this useless parasite actually do?
Three words, absolutely fuck all.
Some artist LOL.

I found a good version of Beethoven Piano Concerto No. 3. But i cant post it, so this is how you'll find it:
go to:
M O N T E V E R D I . T V / R C O
and then navigate to 'watch movies'. Its the first one on the list.
Also, this christmas, on the 25th, there will be a live internet broadcast of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra there.
You're all welcome ;).
