Hélène Grimaud plays the "Adagio" from Mozart's Piano Concerto no.23

[dj770usabyvi]

I love the music she chooses. And I love how she plays.Interesting thing, I cannot really judge her technical abilities, One is never aware that there is anything but music when she plays.I suspect she does not have equivalent digital competence to someone like Horowitz or Argerich when she plays, but that may simply be because I really cannot separate her technical prowess at all from her interpretations. So I always end up thinking, who cares? Just let me listen some more......very mesmeric.

Sheer beauty and elegance....both Helene and the music!

...TRES BEAU...

@angelvgiobbi

TREAU BOP !!

[migzcuad]

Mozart was way ahead of his time, Hélène played it like Beethoven would: with so much emotion.

[migzcuad]

7 people like Justin Bieber lol

[stevenpaulniles]

Affectedly slow. She's pretentious with her knowing nods and smug smirks. I wish Hélène would have gone into modeling or acting instead of piano.

[sprygeoffreya17]

@stevenpaulniles She may be making love to the camera, as you say. Or, maybe she is being loved by Mozart - sounds melodramatic, but some people are realy effected this strongly by art. I'm not highly educated in music, just love music, but she always sounds beautiful to me.

@stevenpaulniles "I wish Hélène would have gone into modeling or acting instead of piano." :

.

this would make sense only, if her playing were deficient

but it's only lack-ing in speed

what is a gain

here

En la voyant, je pense à Mozart qui écrivait qu'il ne supportait les pianistes pleines de tics, qui roulent des yeux, des epaules, etc, en plus son jeu est heurté et désagréable à écouter, bon ben c"st une française, faut pas en attendre des miracles

[BrianPx1]

Every time I hear this I'm amazed. These collection of notes written in 1786 will be still be played long after we're all gone.

[MifuneBoBune]

Exquisite ...

Noch eine komische Superlative Melodie von W.A.Mozart,der seine Genialität schon mit 5 Jahren,(mit dem Violinspiel), bewiesen hat,er hat seine erste Streicher Symphony schon mit 11-12 Jahren geschrieben,und hat Zahreiche Meisterwerke für Orcherster,Konzerte,(für verschiedene Sollo Instrumente),und Oper komponiert,ein universal Genie,der unsere Kultur um vielfaches erzängt und bereichert hat,bzw für die Ewigkeit der menschliche Kultur mit seiner Genialität geprägt hat,Danke deutschegrammaphon1.

Like !!! Nice Music

[publicatucuento]

Il y a quelque chose de Bach dans cet adagio et dans cette extraordinaire interprétation!

[BrianPx1]

Perfect.

[sanyihuma]

Very nice sound, very nice and soft playing. Still I imagine a purer, more "objective", almost impersonal interpretation of this movement.

[JMRsDesk]

The visuals are Mesmerizing and the score is better.

[LFRMUSIC]

Thanks for this moment Helène and Wolfgang :)

[inmenso100]

[inmenso100]

SLOWLY



[John19182004]

@inmenso100 ? what is "slowly"?

[John19182004]

@inmenso100 ? What is "slowly"?

[losiu006]

@John19182004

'cause it's adagio ;p

[John19182004]

@losiu006 I know what Adagio means, dumbass. This is lifeless, it needs to move.

[losiu006]

@John19182004  Why so serious..

[Dezalino]

absolut genial

[annesophie78100]

Magic!

[paulhheiland1]

This truly is Mozart at his most desperate, most dramatic, most "longing," as Helene puts it. It is rare, even in the music of later Romantic composers, to hear such drama, such romance, such beauty in music. Thanks, Mozart.

Das schönste (beste) Klavierkonzert, wunderbar, einfach grandios!

[ahonda55]

NO, i am bored o crying , i cry every single time i watch most of Helene Grimaud works, i really don't know what to say, my eyes are full of tears

[niallsohan]

The first time I watched this, I felt full of joy after experiencing its beauty. The second time, I felt that it was ominously mysterious and I began questioning life. The third time, I felt afraid, slipping into its diaphanous and gaping mystery. The fourth, I started to cry and remembered my deceased grandmother. Thank you Hélène, for you make life beautiful and meaningful again.

[IIEII]

@niallsohan how ever have you found out of this "diaphanous and gaping" state, dear ?

This sounds not only ominous but outright dangerous !!!!!

[MrRUBIODAD]
