Mozart concerto 20 in d, K.466 - 2. Romance Gulda

[gabbib55]

I love this interpretation,thank you!

[Etalex77]

7:50 - 8:02 - Twelve seconds of pure bliss. So short, but so wonderful.

[A8opi]

its so beautiful to see he doing both of things... playing and conducting !

[anicacherry]

BRAVO. AMZING+

[ULPaperboy]

Amazing ... How Mozart meant his music to be played  =P

[catho58]

C'est d'abord le plus beau de tous ses concerti et puis, quelle interprètation !

[TheGrisoliva]

I love Mozart....he touch my spirit very deeply, and open my soul....thank you tguiot. Es maravilloso....!!!!

[Etalex77]

At 7:50-8:00 Mozart gives us a sublime, but oh so short, taste of heavenly music.

[leschatsmusicale]

I love the way he plays, free of the affectation that plauges so many other pianists

[qpo53625]

If there was a purpuse to the creation of the universe it must have been to make music like this possible.

[baldheadted]

In the first movement, posted to YouTube by the same account I believe, there is a cameo by Will Ferrell playing the French horn. Has anybody watched this video closely enough to confirm his participation in this one as well? I hope so. It would make the performance complete.

[paubue]

An Genialität nicht zu übertreffen...

[ldeglan2910]

music of gods!

[tindi691]

so beautiful!



[MrConvivator]

Danke, habe Link gesetzt

[mozart129]

piękne wykonanie - thanks awfully TGUIOT ;-)))

[ElNegoLeal]

Maravilloso...

[Solars78]

with gulda, mozart was born a second time , also died a second time on the same day - i adore this mister >Gulda- apparently the reincarnation of the spirit of Mister Mozart - ...

[brennerboy257]

he plays too quickly, the romanza is supposed to be slower.... but still really good

[karwald1]

piękniejszej interpretacji tego ronda nie mogę już sobie wyobrazić.Idealna !

[missmusiclover388]

i think it's funny how the conductor doesn't really seem to use the time signature. He looks like he is just flailing his arms to the orchestra....

[ciavattarmy]

The astonishment on the face of Gulda says it all..

[kwastormayt]

1:53 - 3:20 the piano is singing

[christshallpwn]

this man is amazing. i really hope i can play like this one day

[ParseAndy]

wow

[ParseAndy]

wow...

[ILoveTakeThat5]

@erken i never noticed that until i saw your comment!! LOL! :D

[equineface]

I love you Mozart:)

[Midnightrambler3760]

@DylanNaroffViolin You should not show that as a Salieri quote. It is a line from a movie nothing more.

[erken]

I hate his conducting but I love his music. He just moves his arms and they wobble but when he plays he -- plays with his tongue sticking out, LOL

[sirenadellopera]

Absolutely delightful. Splendid! I love the smile at 1:22!! This is a man who loves his job, and does it surpassingly well.

[TheAkasolo]

C'est la meilleur interprétation du maître que j'ai jamais entendue.

[gabypal87]

I love this song.. Just amazing

[gabypal87]

Amazing... I listen this song and I feel like if I were dreaming

[MrFrischi65]

The only kind of interpretation I could listen for hours an hours.

[kwastormayt]

the man with the golden hat was a genious

[ScribbleMouse]

mozart can time-travel!!! this sounds so modern=)

[ChrisBColombes]

Pianiste que je ne connaissais à tort pas vraiment pour une découverte voilà une révélation

[perpieta]

Just gorgeous.

[HyterDecapitador]

Wonderfull

[fykeman1]

I would sell my soul to the Devil to be able to play like that and gladly suffer eternal damnation.

[wolvie14]

@fykeman1 the Devl will not let you play loke this . He surely hates Mozart, as ( to say what Salieri says in Amadeus ) , this was written by the hand of God.

[AstriaICOW]

@wolvie14 nah, it was written by the hand of a genius, even the devil would've been soothed :P

[quimba87]

Just amazing! Breath taking...

[CELINASUAREZDIAZ]

Withuot words.... Just Wonderfull!!!!

[jdlhawaii]

this is my favorite Mozart piece

[c2treal]

Does anyone know if it is possible to buy this exact recording on CD or online? I have found other versions, even performed by Gulda, and either because of a slower tempo or for whatever reason I can't seem to find one that I like as much as this one... Any input will be much appreciated. Chris

[eam1239]

@c2treal what you can do is to download a youtube video downloader (I recommend aTube Catcher) and download this video as an mp3 (select the output)

[Blybly100]

Gulda est considéré à juste titre comme l'un des meilleurs interprètes classiques du XXe siècle, en raison du caractère jamais routinier, toujours audacieux et novateur, mais jamais facile, de ses impeccables exécutions.

Mais Gulda était aussi une personnalité étrange et controversée en dehors de ses récitals de musique classique.

Friederich Gulda est décédé le jour anniversaire de la naissance de Mozart, ce qu'il souhaitait.

[astronome9]

@Blybly100 Tout à fait d'accord avec vous. Et merci pour votre commentaire en français (même si je comprends l'anglais parfaitement, cela me fait plaisir de lire des commentaires en français, et je ne pense pas être le seul).

[ILoveTakeThat5]

@janjohandealgenman LOL yes exactly; he was too jealous :D

[okicuru12]

just a bit harsh, fast, & mechanical but quite enjoyable.

[okicuru12]

What heaven must be like.

[Metalico7]

The 11 thumbs down are from Beethoven's relatives..... :P

[janjohandealgenman]

@Metalico7

More like Salieri's relatives :)

[pettymolly]

i dont think gulda is the best pianist on earth. Too little passion. But as conducter he is supreme.

[rozowakicia]

I think the sound was a liitle too sharp in A part as for Mozart... It's Romanza- even forte should be delicate.

[jabberwock01]

Disappointing. Piano and orchestra not really together. And a whole array of wrong and missing notes from the piano. He can play so much better than this - In fact I have him playing this so much better on a CD with the aid of a conductor and the chance to patch.

[astronome9]

@jabberwock01 for the instruction of the amateur I am, could you please indicate at what time of this clip you feel there are wrong or missing notes? And at what times you feel piano and orchestra are not really together? Thank you in advance.

[ThePainter62]

@jabberwock01

It never ceases to amaze me that listening to such beautiful music attracts such totally nonsensical remarks from 'fuckwits' like you.!

[pfwms]

Friedrich Gulda and André Previn both do an excellent job of both playing the piano and conducting the orchestra in the manner of Mozart himself in his piano concertos. It is just fine to see the orchestra in rehearsal mode wearing comfortable clothing.

[gavinfarkas]

I had to sight read a piano reduction of this for a college audition. I only wish I could have played this with a fraction of his talent. Great!

[gavinfarkas]

Perfectly sublime. Lol Ihad

[WolfgangBoodman]

lol i stick my tongue out wen i play the piano too! 1:01

[Yaroable]

F. Gulda miloval Mozarta. Zde to dokazuje i touto jedinecnou vynikajici nahravkou. Sam jsem ho slysel prohlasit: W.A.Mozart war Weltmeister aller Klassen. Co k tomu jeste dodat, ta jeho muzika je genialni, nesmrtellna....

[pianofortegermany]

I was listening to the conductor rather than focusing than on his(Mr. Gulda's) piano. The piano part was a little disappointing in the most unexcted works, I think very good.

[DoctorMDF]

Gulda is on of my favourite interpreters of Mozart piano concerto's but what of Mozart himself, how could a human mind conceive such an abundance of incredible music. His artistic genius amazes me and frightens me at the same time.

[Firrodrigolosofia]

pefect interpration of this piece! My favourite!

[Byron10301]

4.04 ... that mistake was unfortunate ... mismatch between piano and orchestra

[toni4branti]

Gulda deserves $1M for this great interpretation. He is the best.

[BeClaireful]

lovely, lovely, lovely.

[samarmohammed]

من أحب ما سمعت

ومن أروع ما أعرف من موسيقي

[samarmohammed]

من أحب ما سمعت

ومن أروع ما أعرف من موسيقي

[budchelsray]

if u liked gulda, you should find vladimir ashkenazy playing this. PHENOMENAL! i think both are amazing.

[bigeasy171717]

talk about mood swings. what an amazingly shapely piece of music. mozart never wrote better..

subime.

[plagueofangels666]

i always think of crazy sallieri from Amadeus when i hear this

[martyw34]

Lovely bit of music.Thanks for putting this up.I have this on a cassette-not by him tho.

[martyw34]

Lovely bit of music.Thanks for putting this up.

[kalmeast]

although Beethoven dominates the symphonies, Piano Sonata's and the duets this one is hands down...Mozart rocks this one so badly there's no competitor...the peacefulness of is celestial...

[Blybly100]

Patrimoine de l'humanité !

[1987jkilla]

DAMN 5:51 5:52 aches in my ear...

[1987jkilla]

DAMN 5:51 aches in my ear...

[bbonaswwefan]

love this!

[ysgwy]

Why does the camerman keep showing his face???

Just show us the piano players hand movements.

[Eugeniuis1901]

@ysgwy because he is Friedrich Gulda, a pianist, a composer, a jazz musician, a unconvential artist - a legend.

[vkoracx]

@Eugeniuis1901

he is not THAT good as you say

there are much better pianists,composers and legends out there

[vakareden2345]

@vkoracx Like a 5 years old child...... Infantile comment.

[vkoracx]

@vakareden2345

infantile is to say that somebody is not that good?

now that makes sense...

[Eugeniuis1901]

@vkoracx of course there are, but it´s hard to find a good pianist with a unconventional behavior as he had. actually he became a legend and got a high internationally prestigiouness already at the beginning of his career.

[mslavicek]

@vkoracx

There are much better pianists, composers and legends out there?!

Well, I could agree on that "pianists" part.

[vkoracx]

@mslavicek

somebody labeled Goulda "a composer,pianist and legend " and my reply was in regard to him of course and not Mozart:))

If I had to compare Mozart to other composers(although I don't like to do that) I would say that Bach is the only one that surpasses him by the overall quality of his work but even with Bach the difference is often blurred and can be somewhat attributed to Mozarts age too

[LickandNuke]

nice gandi hat

[bekiof]

einfach klasse!

[XoF3aRxHaT3DxTi]

mozart you always do beautiful music---gulda you ra awesome

[BellaDulzurita]

maravilloso video

mis dedos verdes arriba

feliz noche

[flk3459]

i wish to watch mozart play this in heaven with its majestic orchestra and godly piano...

[fastfingers110]

I think he has pased

[magnelli1000]

gulda coglie l'essenza giocosa e al tempo stesso "romantica"del brano

[magnelli1000]

mozart e gulda nel cuore. che incanto!!!!!!!

[nycolas1712]

Excellent.

[edthemetalhead]

fuck those ppl that put a thumbs down!!! haha

[bekiof]

Einfach nur gut!

[bekiof]

Das hier kann ich mir immer wieder ansehen und anhören. Das ist Kunst!

[gneolhc]

It reminds me of the river flow. You can feel how the music flows inside your mind, your heart.

[beakt]

This was the perfect piece to pick for the end credits of the movie Amadeus, especially since Mozart's giddy laugh was heard as a lead-in. It so perfectly captures that such a "funny little man" as the girls called him, could write something so technically light and yet so beautiful, so deeply and eternally expressive.

[lucadegliabissi]

finalmente un direttore-esecutore che va fuori dagli schemi...interpretando in maniera divina il fanciullino che è nell'immortale opera di Mozart...

[HallieBaker123]

hmzhat einer dem Willen mich von meiner dauer einsamkeit zu retten

[pioter91]

hahaha 4:10 ,,,is the gesture of gulda really what i think?

[camposi]

Love Mozart more and more!

[TDIhoohooh1]

Brilliant!

A Mozart masterpiece lovingly played

[Azazello321]

this is fine!

[pmmdrt]

Great performers alway die to early. What a pity he left us in 2000 but his two brilliant sons Rico and Paul keep his rememberance in honour.

[yenhoho]

Gulda's mozart perforances are brilliant

[Lity10]

Fucking idiots who cough all the time... lol.

[yenhoho]

@Lity10

there are always someone coughing in the concert....every concert..

[Lity10]

Yep.... shouldn't be that hard though.. I wonder if they coughed in Mozarts time too..

[yenhoho]

@Lity10

In Mozart's time, they not only coughed, but also chatted. For the people in 18 century, concert is a place to social. Situation has changed since Wagner. He turned off the light, redesigned the theater, and made audience quiet and listen to his music.

[Lity10]

You're probably right, though they didn't chat when listen to Beethoven.. :p

[yenhoho]

@Lity10

ha ya

They actually didn't chat that loud

I just emphasized that it was a place to social..people might whispered to each other...They were quiet when listening to Beethoven probably because he would throw the chair at those who were talking..

[Lity10]

Yep.. well, it's just so annoying though. They don't even need to cough. I mean, most of the time, it's just like a careful *ah-ahem*, it's not like you get anything OUT of that. Literally, haha.

Regards

[saltyseaweed]

Not later in his life, he wouldn't have. Even if you were shouting!

[Bognarfan]

Listen to Sergei Babayan's interpretation of this movement. Beautiful colors and articulation.

[stockcar5472]

I love this guy - he is hilarious and has enormous talent.

[takaomurasako]

心地よいテンポと音域の良さには、敬服します。

[KRandMJ]

Beautiful music! Is there sheet music for the piano?

[hfdmozart]

the only person i admire to fake his own death!

[cobraetti]

explain

[hfdmozart]

there where a series of interviews with Gulda.one of them,(since he was never praised by critics),stated the fact,that most artists become famous after their deaths.

therefore,he decided one day to send a fax to "ORF"(austrian tv),from switzerland,that he had died!

that's all i know,however i think it's a brilliant joke.......!

saw interviews on youtube,by the way.

[vkoracx]

@hfdmozart

to me it seems really disrespectful of all the people who ,actually,have really died

a really distasteful joke

now,considering the fact that he has really died since then I don't want to elaborate even further...

[Signifer82]

Quelle façon de chanter la mélodie! incroyable!

[cobraetti]

thank you Mr. Gulda

[TheGeekface99]

just as mozart himself would have conducted the concert. playing the piano and instructing the orchestra

[mpilia]

Musica feita com a alma , verdadeira obra para a humanidade .

[RudieDan]

I hope one day I can play like that. ;-)

[jjvisual92]

Even the great players make mistakes, but all credit to make those who listen do not realize. Do not cut the steady rhythm of the music.

[sinancans]

5:52 mistake?

 very good performance btw

[mikimueller]

@sinancans

in my oppinion it isn't a mistake, it's his passion

[adminasad]

illkinond...i bet u r nothing more then asshole! do not criticize on that lovely peoples and somone religions only because he has a lovely cap.

[LazyJLazy]

Wow..

[ilkinond]

If he were still alive I would say that although this is a lovely performance of the K466, he still looks such a wanker when he jumps up off his piano stool and starts conducting - and that hat! is he supposed to be the Grand Vizier or something? He plays Mozart wonderfully.

[sinancans]

lol 1:24 smiling

RIP

[marco333999]

Love this version

I love his face at aroud 3:00. It's like he want to say to us : easy and beautiful, isn't it ?

[macenauerm]

Gulda, nevertheless, has something and make something, what makes his interpretation quite uncommon - without acedemical pedantry...

[macenauerm]

mám pocit, že Gulda udělal 5:51 chybu :) je to tak?

I think Gulda made a mistake at 5:51, is it that?

[jennythemusicmaker]

Yes it was.

[cicerone63]

this romance, performed by Ivan Moravec, was combined with the endtitles of the movie Amadeus by Forman. A very romantic interpretation with different "kadenza" but amazing and suggestive!

[dragmio]

He nailed this one in expression totally. The phrasing and dynamics is impeccable and perfectly fits the piece.

[djfredofosho]

erotico!

[ditrje2]

I love watching the expressions on the faces of the brilliant musicans who play this piece - its a fasinating study in subtlety

[mirosatan18]

Did someone noticed 2:38? What a showman :)

[dancavob]

Awesome! Mr. Gulda was an amazing musician.

[winkandrun]

He died?

[dancavob]

Yes, he died the 27. January 2000 in Austria...

[winkandrun]

That's sad.

[flstylefull]

@dancavob : wow, he died the day of mozart's birth ! amazing

[dancavob]

yes, that's truth...

[BobbyFischer0000]

What? Really? What tremendous coincidence!

[thesir27]

this is a perfect musical representation of "bittersweet"

[moderndesignworks]

I wish I could watch him play live.........=-(

[winkandrun]

Join the club...

[flk3459]

@moderndesignworks i wish to watch mozart play this in heaven with its majestic orchestra and godly piano...

[moderndesignworks]

@flk3459 for sure, but I think Gulda is as close to Mozart as anyone gets.........he was a musical genius, and I see Mozart playing when I see Gulda play.........so emotional so free so joyful!

[xWatChYouRHeaDx]

@moderndesignworks I see Mozart no matter who is playing. His music reverbs more loudly then any performer could achieve in my eyes. Thanks to Mozart these gentlemen are who they are. But I agree with what you say. :p

[mpilia]

Divino !!!

[mrcmrc1000]

I didn't like the first allegro of this performance but this part is great.

[slovakmath]

why did you like his performance of the first allegro?

[o0okareno0o]

always my fav...beautiful

[nemosangel]

This piece is amazing... So beautiful u.u..

[MegaYada]

Candy-like, flossy, cute, lovey-dovey, soft, naughty, charming.. The words that come to my mind listening to this piece..

[jelf48]

Wunderbar....ich hab' alles genoßen!! Vielen dank.

[daredog187]

Amazing.. Absolute beauty!
