Brahms: Piano Concerto n.1 op.15 - Leon Fleisher - 3rd Mvt.

[anubier]

Das Klavierkonzert von Brahms hat viele Interpreten auf die Bühne gebracht,mal gut mal sehr gut und exellent und ganz schlecht..

In diesem Livekonzert bringt der Interpret das Klavierkonzert auf den Punkt, und wer sich anmaßt mit Besserwisserei das zu kommentieren , dem sei gesagt, Brahms hätte Fleischer geliebt als Pianisten.....

I'm sure I can help this man.

Geert Dehoux, pianist.

[hidkidd]

Did you see his Pinky. at .2:47

[geertdehoux]

@hidkidd

Yeah, terrible.

I know why that is, because he cannot stretch his 5th finger in certain combinations anymore.

As long as you want to go on playing the piano, this is not a joke.

[geertdehoux]

I've suffered from focal dystonia with serious problems in myt right hand myself for 25 years.

How I recognize these symptoms!

Poor man...

Geert Dehoux, classical pianist (Belgium).

[jiririji]

Horrible!!



[geertdehoux]

@jiririji

Don't forget Mr Fleisher suffers badly from focal dystonia, please.

I suppose you didn't know.

Regards,

Geert Dehoux, pianist (Belgium).

[jiririji]

@geertdehoux I don´t now, sorry.

[geertdehoux]

@jiririji

No problem!

That's what I thought and that's why I wanted to give you this information.

Regards,

Geert Dehoux.

[yangdahui]

well, compared with Barenboim's,.........

[geertdehoux]

@yangdahui

I agree with you.

[dsyglym]

I like the energy , great pianist and orchestra... 

[cnabaie]

it seems around 6:24 he goes off a bit and takes him to recover 6 seconds, and again a few notes here and there, where he anxiosly looks at his notes. mybe i'm off!

[NickjamesC]

@cnabaie he's actually playing the right notes leading up to it and then it's as if his memory froze before his next entrance. Kinda funny but at least he recovered! lol.

[geertdehoux]

@cnabaie

Yeah, but don't forget the problem of focal dystonia is inside the brain itself!

[TheNoblestPursuit]

This is amazing, but OH MY GOD, someone's phone is ringing at about 5:30! At least it wasn't during a quiet part.

Thank you, orso1149, for uploading this. It really is a great performance. Is there any more you have and could put on youtube?

[briandonohue100]

really an excellent performance overall, and again an inspired interpretation. Obviously, Fleisher made a few errors (I'll leave it to the yt critics' club to note the details). But throughout this performance, the orchestra was superb, the conductor's approach truly fresh and challenging, and Fleisher himself was very sound overall throughout this concerto, which is among Brahms' most daunting pieces both technically and interpretively.

[orso1149]

@briandonohue100 I was present at this performance, particularly exciting because Fleisher had recovered the use of his right hand after many years and returned to perform in the Piano Concerto which he preferred.

[briandonohue100]

@orso1149 I didn't even know that (he came back from an injury at this concert). All I heard was a very spirited and inspired performance by some really fine musicians, during which a couple of mistakes occurred that didn't mar the overall effect in the least. But it also explains the other thing I noted (in the Adagio video, I think) about how he "hid" the score inside the piano!

[geertdehoux]

@orso1149

He might have "recovered the use of his right hand" far from completely.

[geertdehoux]

@briandonohue100

Due to focal dystonia, this is not an excellent but a bad performance.

[Frozentoes1]

@briandonohue100 Not to mention that it is truly remarkable to see Fleisher at his best after so many years crippled by a nerve disorder in his right hand. He is truly a great pianist. I especially love his recording of the Beethoven concerti with Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra. Wow.
