Ravel Piano Concerto 1st Mov.

[atrebil71]

Celibidache, quando poteva suonare con Benedetti Michelangeli, doveva essere l'uomo più felice del mondo.

Many thanks for uploading this long work.

Geez! Michelangeli makes this piece look SOOOOO easy (it isn't really though.... at least I don't think so:P)

[vvsivakumar]

Thank you for posting this . Was just wondering if the orchestra was overpowering the soloist when they play together . Also, is this the Munich Phil or one of Celi's earlier bands in Stockholm/Cologne etc ?

[marcellabear]

hello hamjii !!! do you have the 2, 3 mvt of this ????

[ludowicovan]

Incredible to see Celi and Michelangeli together! Thanks for posting!

[kindermaus]

michelangeli was quite trying to look like liszt in here

[terenceva]

Thank you hamjii, the sound is much better than an other of this Movement on youtube too. Historic performance!

[AlexanderFieres]

AT THE BEGINNING ITS TOOOOOOO SLOW....it could be faster...but anyway michelangeli is a perfect piano player

[robertoparuzzovideo]

toooooooooo slow ? no, the orchestra started in a bad way...so he adjusted the sincro... listen carefully... he was waiting for the entrance of the piccolo that was tooooooooooo fast!!!!!!!!!! ALLEGRAMENTE does not mean PRESTO!!!

[deandusk]

@AlexanderFieres you are slow!

[randomguy10]

both the orchestra and the piano produce unbelievably beautiful tones. The piano display very little emotion but it suits this Ravel piece perfectly - to me this performance resembles a perfectly made swiss mechanical watch.

Michelangeli + Celibidache: The best of best!!!

Pure Genius...

Thanks!

Michelangeli es uno de los mejores pianistas del mundo y uno de los que propugnan la música como método de crecimiento espiritual.

Tampoco me gusta la interpretación del director pero la de Michelangeli me parece muy clara y de gran calidad.

[LSOHornist]

This is a terrible interpretation of this piece, especially by the conductor, who is not in touch with the concerto at all. The high horn solo, however, is played in a godly manner.

[ilbacioditosca]

Mr Hornist, you may find that Celibidache and his teacher Furtwangler don't have any relations with new way of reading music and interpretation.

[deandusk]

@LSOHornist if you would have had any idea about conducting, probably you would have said the same about celibidache as you said about the hornist

[brianCIM]

I CONCUR!

Michelangeli was a great artist. His EMI recording of the Ravel and Rachmaninoff's Fourth Concerto with the Philharmonia is a true historical document. This video document does not do full justice. Celibidache is responsible for smothering Michelangeli's fire.
