Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 5 / Uchida · Rattle · Berliner Philharmoniker

[juska801]

I want to learn to play the piano. Any suggestions on the style/brand of piano to get?

[manuelspcool]

@juska801 well my suggestion if you're a beginner is a Yamaha vertical piano or if you have enough resources you could look for a Stainway like the one that She's playing on this video, It's her piano, She brought it from London just for this series of performances (Beethoven's 5 piano concertos)

Hello! I am in Saudi Arabia and would like to join the Digital Concert Hall. What are the requirements .............. can registration be done from anywhere on the globe. Are the archive videos downloadable. Thanks a lot!

[NellyJamba]

I have the privilege to see her play this concerto at the Barbican Hall last night. Truly magical experience. Her interpretation was unique without "over interpreting". She has mesmerised all concert goers. Truly a privilege of a life time.

[FountainofFire]

ahh, what a beautiful piece of music

[Winella1]

d'Musig isch grossartig ABER d'Pianospielerin e absoluti Exzäntrikerin, müässt NÖD würkli si !!!

[manuelspcool]

this is Uchida's piano, she took it to Berlin from his home in London especially for this series of concerts.

[mattnix1989]

Beautiful playing, but what's going on with the principal oboe at 1:40 ?

[korintietis]

There is a harmony all over this performance. And I guess, there are no words to express the greatness of it. When listening to this performance, all my minds get cleaned by music, only this music is left then in my head...

[lemidi]

Thats simply unbelievable!!

[lemidi]

@lemidi unbelievable and wonderful!

[calebmwebb]

this movement is so powerful. It moves me to tears EVERY time I hear it :_)

[hoiho96]

Thank you BerlinPhil for the DigitalConcertHall!!! this is simply divine

[chobeethaninov]

Elegantly impassioned...

[musicfreak3109]

My God this is by far the best Beethoven concert..! It's really a shame that my parents won't let me pay for the concert hall..

[kads8679]

Make Digital Concert Hall content FREE please?

[BerlinPhil]

@kads8679 Unfortunately, it costs the orchestra a fortune to produce these videos, so there needs to be a refund.

[diator]

@kads8679  Wouldn't you pay to hear something so divine??

[314ist]

Beautiful, thankyou

[josefk64]

marvelous performance

[Giarola77]

I'm surprised. I could see myself at the audience first parquet row. I know I was there and its can happens, but I was not expecting. Funny sensation...

[Jason88236]

This is so beautiful; The greatest degree of inner tranquility comes from the development of love, compassion and the love for music.

[TheBadbury]

Maybe it is just me being old-fashioned but what is with the dress code? To me (with those ties) they look like a chartered accountant's amateur orchestra! Otherwise it's simply divine.

[BerlinPhil]

@TheBadbury The musicians usually wear swallow-tail coats, but only in the evening (whereas this was a morning performance).

[TheBadbury]

@BerlinPhil Thanks for your reply, I'm rather honoured. However, this doesn't bring me off my question, can't they have all identical ties, maybe in white? I really am disappointed but I probably need to start to just concentrate on the important issues! Thanks again.

[jsteuernol]

@TheBadbury

Yeah if it's before a certain time in the day it's not customary to wear a tuxedo ;)

[FenAllo1]

this is simply one of the most beautiful things I've heard. Mitsuko Uchida is a great inspiration

I'm really curious as to who designs her clothing

[unitednerdsbeproud]

The oboe part has only 7 bars in the whole movement!!!! Poor Albrecht!!!!

[sfrenchhorn07]

@unitednerdsbeproud That beats the horn parts with only 4 bars for the entire movment lol

[Aristidesp64]

Just beautiful...

[oboistru2]

You have to post her playing without the picture. Sound is beautiful, but the image... Mayer also adds to the weirdness of this clip.

[Farnik01]

@oboistru2 Really, who cares?

[ssh1025]

Albrecht  iPhone??? Doesn't look like adjusting reeds...

[C00ki3M0nsst3r]

so beautiful

thank you so much =)

[linogiord]

Grandissima espressività.....

[bloedohneleerzeilen]

1:42 : albrecht mayer is bored...

[euhuang]

Or maybe he is so into this piece that he had his head down to meditate.... (1:40~1:51). It is rare to see so in a professional orchestra though.

[musicy88]

@bloedohneleerzeilen I fucking hate his behavior during orchestra performance. it's not the first time he's showing whatever he's feeling at the moment more obviously than anyone ever.

[diator]

@bloedohneleerzeilen Perhaps he is just lost in the music, it is a rather good piece after all.

[BoriquaBoy415]

Such a lovely performance,I love sensitive she is with her dynamic range.

[DuduKorg]

Music from Heaven!! I remember a dream I got with this melody... simple the strongest musical moment of my life... Thanks Uchida, thanks Rattle and thanks very much Berliner Philharmoniker for this gift!!

[manuelspcool]

The best pianist of our time, madame Mitsuko my inspiration =')

[arturon111]

@manuelspcool - nope

[LONGWINDING]

Vielen Dank!

[jamielaidlaw]

Mitzuko was a neighbour and a friend form my Alexander Technique days in London with Mr. Scott. A fabulous talent and a very fine person.

[Jolteon206]

I hope one day I can play this beautiful work with this magnificent orchestra. :)
