Claudio Arrau plays Mozart (vaimusic.com)

[GHMusicSchool]

Greenwich House Music School has not one but two of Arrau's students on faculty!

[DonDragonJr]

no puedo creer que un pianista de tal magnitud haya muerto, no lo puedo creer me hubiera gustado haber nacido antes para poder conocerlo.

[ajayalmighty]

I love this version! I just picked up this piece and find the right hand a little bit challenging to play.

[Jerrez]

Mozart wrote this in Paris after his mother that travelled with him had passed away. He was only 22 years old. That makes me realize that humility is not an unnecessary luxury....pure genius and a great performance by maestro Arrau!

[cuconest]

Bravissimo!

[mydymydy]

Nothing but too fast! Worse than others!

[arturon111]

@mydymydy THIS IS THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF THIS SONATA, what is "worse in your opinion" this is as perfect as it gets in all levels, technical, musical, and spiritual....

[lospazio]

@arturon111 There is not such a thing as a "best performance" of anything. There are different artists with different approaches, different visions, different sensibilities. At most this may be the performance YOU like best, but there may be persons who prefer other versions.

[mario54671]

@valmusic This isn't Mozart's 7th Piano Sonata, it's the 8th. Piano Sonata No. 7 is K.309 and is in C Major. I have the book in front of me right now. :)

[uhartchristian]

la delicatesse dans ce 3eme mouvement de la sonate de Mozart est genialement interpreté ici. rarement on entend cela avec tant de douceur.

[dinkevich83]

0:33-0:48 Nice moment )

[MAGALYDECHILE]

Por siempre seras mi favorito.!! eres lo mas cercano a la perfección

[MAGALYDECHILE]

Por siempre seras mi favorito...!! eres lo mas cercano a la perfección Maestro Claudio Arrau..

[EilisErina]

the best and most incredible interpretation is the one of Gilels..but it's not on youtube unfortunately....

[christiangor]

son maravillosos,tal vez encontrar el concierto numero 1 de thaikosky,para piano ,seria un toque magico de Chile felicitaciones a los creadores de los videos

[TokyoDoggyDog]

To tell you the truth, I have never appreciated Arrau until I started watching his playing on YouTube. He has definitely excellent taste in music. His style has its own class.

[luuhuy1215]

tuyệt quá phải không mọi người?

[Ray0X0]

It looks so hard to play... is it so?

[jasoncrew]

@Ray0X0 Very. The whole 310 is the most difficult Mozart's Sonata, I would say.

[ibk1980]

i never liked Baldwin grand pianos, but Arrau is so good that he gets a wonderful sound out of this rock :-D I love Arrau.

[mario54671]

@ibk1980 Yeah, Baldwin and Yamaha...they're really not for Classical Music. I try SO hard to get a soft sound out of those, you just can't. I play much better on a Blüthner or Steinway, or any piano that was manually assembled, instead of being made by a machine.

[verystacy]

How?!! Very carefully!

[mabovary]

c `est unique, vivant et exitant ********** CLARA

[kodaihik]

cantabileeee...superb....

[EmerVIP]

gran sonido

[Bryseyas]

I heard him LIVE just B4 he died playing Apassionata, and it was UNIQUE, his left hand sounded an english horn, no breaks in the note. BRAVO.

[jesusangeleditor]

Una magistral interpretación de este Titán de la música, sin duda, uno de los más grandes pianistas de todos los tiempos. La belleza de su sonido radica en tres cosas: Talento, técnica y seriedad.

[Jakopsohn]

Fucking amazing!!! ;D

[Azlaier]

Well played.

[josemarco4]

Fue un gran maestro , eximio de música clásica.

[uhartchristian]

this is even better than dinu lipatti s interpretation!!!!!

[Ray0X0]

El maestro Arrau bien como siempre, lo que me carga es ese ritmo sincopado tan característico de las obras de la época...

[turuladeburro]

siii, ademas que todas las obras de Mozart son como iguales, me gustan mucho mas LISZT Y CHOPIN, no se porque consideran a Mozart el mejor de todos si no lo fue

[Ray0X0]

Mozart es considerado uno de los músicos más brillantes de la historia de la música por lo fue... y sí tiene obras bellísimas... ¿o le parece feo el concierto para piano nº21? (el de tvtiempo :)).. así cono este hay otros igualmente bonitos. Por su genio musical Mozart merece completamente ser considerado uno de los 5 más grandes músicos de todos los tiempos.

[turuladeburro]

la verdad q no me gustan para nada sus obras para piano, son todas iguales y eso me fastidia. Sí destaco a Chopin y a Liszt, cuyas obras para piano son maravillosas

[caradeescusado]

@Ray0X0 no uno de los mas grandes, si no el mas grande.

[Danielkustha]

Siempre seguirás siendo el más grande de todos....

[hatem52]

insuperabile!

[davlo20]

maestro!!!..pero no sé si es mala la grabación o se condorea en algunas partes como en 0:40

[vicpatin]

eso se llama pasión

[Ray0X0]

Es sólo un efecto acústico de superposición de ondas de sonido...

[SANNAFABICH]

es imposible tocar una pieza completa sin equivocarse. eso no hace la interpretacion menos impresionante

[turuladeburro]

si es posible, teniendo la maestría de Arrau

[SANNAFABICH]

eres un poco terco de oido parece, no solo de sesos

[turuladeburro]

bueno disculpa, ahora entendí tu comentario, lo que pasa es que pensé que estabas diciendo que Arrau esra malo para tocar, porfavor si te ofendi disculpame, solo estaba defendiendo a un compatriota por no haber entendido bien.

saludos

[SANNAFABICH]

todo bien! no te disculpes. Arrau es un maestro de maestros, y mi interprete favorito de genios como mozart, Beethoven, y sobre todo Chopin.

[Ray0X0]

No hay problema, nunca entendí que fuera algo ofensivo.

Sí he escuchado a Kempff, por ejemplo Sonata 14, Beethoven. No quiero polemizar, pero yo nunca he escuchado a Arrau cometer tantas fallas en vivo (generalmente no cometía ninguna y cuando sí no eran más de 2 o 3 poco notorias por presentación) .

En la sonata mencionada el maestro Kempff comete muchas y notorias (sólo en el 3er mov.) las que a mí me incomodaron, aunque está claro que entendía perfectamente la obra, no me gustó.

[Ray0X0]

Lo que fue algo notable en Arrau hasta el mismo día que se durmiera en la muerte fue que nunca perdió su habilidad motriz, la cual suele afectar en la vejez a todas las personas, por eso los conciertos para piano, como el 4 y 5 de Beethoven por Arrau tienen un sonido y una pulcritud soberbias... a sus 81 y 85 años respectivamente !!

Desde todo punto de vista Arrau es sin duda uno de los artistas más notables en la historia de la música clásica.

[Ray0X0]

Tanto como «imposible» quizás no, pero tiene razón en que por algún pequeño fallo se desmerezca toda una obra.

[SANNAFABICH]

Claro, pero leiste mi comentario? dije que por esos pequeño errores una interpretacion no es menos impresionante. de hecho la hace mas humana. por ejemplo escucha a kempff, con interpretaciones magistrales, pero con varios errores. es imposible no equivocarse con tantas teclas

[kempff95]

arrau my favorite pianist .

he has an beautifull touch!

bravo maestro!

[Ray0X0]

For ever my favorite too...

[Harriette99]

Sorry, but I have to say Haebler is much better.

[CalistratBibescu]

I'm sorry you had to say that too

[GerardoGAE]

¡¡¡Maestro!!!

[syss127]

He plays wonderfully. There are only a few mistakes.

[agnosticforce]

he made NO mistakes...

[Ray0X0]

Ha ha ha... please, be serious.

[arturon111]

what mistakes, i play this piece,.. and dont know what youre talking about,... what you MAY think is a mistke is that he phrases every little note so some slurs make some notes sound cut off,... otherwise is as clean as it can be,....

[nssepulveda]

creo que ud. no toca ni la mitad de esa pieza

[arturon111]

si toco la sonata en la menor de Mozart, usted quiza no la toca, si es que la toca con los fraseos escritos, por lo tanto le suena diferente,... sin embargo, el MAestro Arrau, toco toda la obra de Mozart, de una manera inigualable, tanto tecnica como musicalmente asi como espiritualmente. El MAestro tuvo la mejor tecnica pianistica de la historia y fue el mas completo musico.

[nelsonsep]

entonces subala

[arturon111]

no la tengo en video, y yo no me estoy comparando con el Maestro Arrau,... nadie se puede comparar con el, el fueel mejor pianista del siglo 20

[turuladeburro]

eeeemmm there is no mistakes

[chbt1777]

i do love arrau.i hate pinochet

[alvarokoke1]

Es muy bueno

[Gman6755]

Bravo, Maestro!!!!

[aragess]

Sinceramente lo mejor,...lastima que no sea inmortal

[casbael]

grande collico!!!!!

[turuladeburro]

estúpido

[somedudeplayingpiano]

Baldwin pianos !!!!!!!! haha, wonder where they made them ???

[paulprocopolis]

America - in their time Earl Wild, Jorge Bolet and Liberace (!) all made do with these instruments.

[somedudeplayingpiano]

okey thanx

[AbramCortinas]

Because of the sound wich Arrau considerd to be the most importat thing ;-)

[soami2u]

Arrau switched to Steinway, I think sometime in the 1960s. I tend to think of Baldwin as having less depth of tone than Steinway (sometimes clunky basses and bright upper registers--usually without the limpid singing tone of Steinway). But there have been some very good Baldwins in the past. Gieseking apparently made all his great Debussy recordings on a Baldwin (and all his other repertoire). The company went bankrupt years ago and seems to have been replaced by Yamaha as S's main US rival

[leucciolino]

simply DIVINE....perfect

[wouainkuley]

Oh... okey, thanx for the information maalga2008, so its normal if this song is beautiful because he write it for his mother... do you have this piece on mp3 or have an idea to find it ?

[maalga2008]

It s Mozart Piano Sonata No.8 in A minor, K.310, 3. Presto and not 7 ...

The A minor sonata is the first of only two Mozart piano sonatas to have been composed in a minor key. Written around the time of the death of Mozart's mother, it is the darkest of his piano sonatas. The last movement in particular has an obsessive, haunted quality about it, heightened near the end by the interruption of the relentless drive to the conclusion by repeated and chilling quiet falling passages.

[maalga2008]

Awesome arrau , like always !

[wouainkuley]

I love this sonata, but i cant find this piece anywhere, everytime the Sonata N°7 - K 310 is a other piece... if someone can help me, and give me a link where i can find this piece...

Thanx to everybody who will help me!

[scholes100]

Outstanding

[iLLumination1]

great job! though i prefer gulda playing this sonata and especially this movement.

[grupetto]

Amazing! Is there a complete version of this sonata?

[grupetto]

Genial! una vez mas Arrau nos sorprende con un repertorio al que no estamos acostumbrados a oírle. ¿Existe en video la sonata completa?

[nicooliva]

Esta es la sonata nº 9, CRONOLOGICAMENTE.

[mestreliszt]

Menos mal que alguien esta deacuerdo conmigo.... NO se porque todo el mundo dice que es la 8....o incluso...la 7...? por el amor de dios... jaja Gracias!

[tomaxi007]

herrlich

[Thammasz]

mozart sonatas does not have an specific order so shut up.

it's No. 7 in the peters edition.

[mestreliszt]

This sonaten is the number 9...

[bubbabubu]

I have to say "Maestro, I kneel down before thee!" I also like Dino Lipatti's A-minor performance, which I think one of the best, but of course, in my humble opinion

[soami2u]

I have to agree. Sublime is the word!!

[sanjosemike]

What is painful is that he makes it look easy! The Master Arrau always puts the music ahead of his prodigious technique. Every phrase is thoughout and perfect.

sanjosemike

[civilbb]

Utterly impressed. 5 stars, what a nice performance! :)

[adagiocantabile]

Magnifico. Grande Arrau

[enak1989]

[scottbos68]
