3:35 Majestic

[DavidLobron]

This is amazing! Does anyone know when it was recorded?

[Sylvain894]

They all look at Vladimir who seems a little bit asking what do they want ??Rare footage of his !

[Sosthene57]

Thank you tguiot to have shared this great moment of music with us.

[longeaton34]

Nice to see Vladimir not tempted to join in with the orchestra with the last chords - unlike the mischief Sunwook Kim and the like get up to!

[Haeronthegreat]

From 1:40; absolutely gorgeous. Dark.

[chazinko]

Ash has the pash!

[darnmat]

Wow.... I'm definitely inspired this time to play this concerto....

[petie32]

Don't mean to argue, but Brendel is to Bach and Mozart and early Beethoven. Rubenstein is Liszt onwards.; Polish, Russian, etfc.

[cattleman6420012000]

Vladimir Ashkenazy is such a fantastic pianist. Such an enormous repertoire. When I heard him live he had amazing ability and wonderful musical flair.

[mestreliszt]

I think that zimerman version is better! no?!

[sweatinggrundle]

ashkenazy is unbeatable. tone production, technique, pedal control, choice of tempi. and he always gives the music enough time to breathe.

[DaddyofT]

I think it helps to have the depth of Guilini (who was also a wonderful Bruckner conductor). Ashkenazy plays with drama. So different compared with the urgent youth of Dudamel and Gerstein. I prefer the more mature version.

[pianomed]

compared to bramhs' second, this first one loos so much easier...can anyone tel me ebout this, ios this an easier piano concerto?

[vyolynoalex93]

he should be banging between 0:29 and 0:41

because its that dark melody

[mathpianist93]

not necessarily; (non-biased commentary) in this concerto the pianist must work with the conductor to...er... develop thematic material.

[vkstksla51]

I'm really appreciate to Ashkenazy. I konw he is the best pianist of this times in all sides. Thanks Ashkenazy!! Hope to meet his nice perform continually~

[keykanonmania84]

I totally agree with you. Personally, he is one of the best pianists ever in music history besides of Rubenstein and Brendel.

[DualThunder]

yeah there are so many cross overs to Beethoven in Brahms' writing.

Im performing this in two days. Such an emotional piece...

[swchoi2002]

well good luck man... no pressure

[mathpianist93]

The Three B's come into play in this rondo. Wow.

[mathpianist93]

This is really expressive, especially in the B section (1:40 to 2:10), well thought-out, and best of all, PASSIONATE. This video excellently reflects the similarity between this rondo and the Rondo from Beethoven's 3rd Concerto (Brahms had this in mind when writing the rondo).

[An1m0s1ty]

Bravo. This is my favorite piano concerto off all. Thanks for posting and supporting classical music.

[Shyadow]

sometimes it looks like the conductor is crying....

[isaacc93]

don't mess with my most favorite conductor lol

[Shyadow]

well im SORRY -__-;;

[isaacc93]

lol i was just kidding :D well you are kinda true... lol

[Shyadow]

lol :D

[mathpianist93]

That's just the conductor being passionate.

[Shyadow]

yea thats true... its a lot better than standing there looking bored :]

[isaacc93]

and thats why he is considered one of the best conductors of our time...lol

[sll10]

Very fine!

[superbemaison]

Well I liked the slow tempo but sometimes it gets..too slow.

Noneless I suggest you listen to katchen's view the end cadenza...the piano then sounds more like an orchestra with Katchen.

[chopin5440]

I love this pianist. He is also a great accompanist. Have many of his recordings.. What a treat to actually see him play. Thank you so much for posting this.. I love the ending with that huge pedal tone in the bass of the piano. Bravo!!!

[althen213]

Giulini is my favourite conductor and Ashkenazy is a pasionate pianist.

Wonderful performance by two great musicians!

[meggiblu]

Wonderful!
