Keith Jarrett - La Scala

[losabuelos1]

Goosebumps.

[robdoubleyoo]

How much poorer the world would have been if this man had never been born. No one can touch his musical genius. Xxx.

[bellinianodoc]

A giudicare dai commenti - il più cattivo cita Beethoven, ma in genere si ricorre a Dio - sono io che non capisco nulla. E sia pure.

Ma sinceramente non riesco proprio a vedere tutta la sublimità di questa musica. Temi particolarmente geniali non se ne sentono. Le formule sono più o meno sempre le stesse. Va ravanando sincope dopo sincope con un colore sempre uguale. E a quelli che parlano di sentimento, ascoltino, tanto per dirne una, l'Andante della sonata 21 di Schubert ...poi ne parliamo.

[goldfish1934]

ho ascoltato schubert..bello! ascolto da chopin, mozart , rachmaninov, bethohoven fino a bach..  questa musica qua sopra è stata eseguita nello stesso momento in cui veniva creata/pensata.. con tutto il rispetto che si può avere per un compositore come schubert.. keith jarrett è un altro tipo di genio, è impressionante il senso della storia che c'è in questo pezzo improvisato da 45 minuti.. lui racconta una storia,e la racconta in un modo bellissimo.detesto i bigottismo..

[JamesLoweProd]

Piano, never ceases to amaze.

Everyone should learn it

[thedarkplayer]

you don't need lyric, if you play like a god

[horvathivan]

For those with the "God" thing . . .

he just entered your ears . . .

[ssn0651]

Dear 314noceu , All things come from God who has created all things . You don't have to believe in Him , He believes in you .

[PianomanMNL]

@ssn0651 lets not make this video about religion huh!

[AlessandroFortarel]

I have this cd .. I heard many times this music .. there is a reference to the best of contemporary and classical music seen again by the infinite genius of this remarkable and extraordinary pianist .. an expression of great sadness, coupled with a sense of inner rebirth, as if Keith Jarrett wanted to describe the human life with its failures as well as its victories..this contrast is perfect

[MrMamowi]

Expanding mind in an inspiration. My best friend... Thanks G-d .----

@MrMamowi amazing!!!!!!!!!!! he has an amazing brain, and you could swear that there are 10 more brains in his fingertips!!!!!! thank you for posting.

[mona2ir]

The best example of expanding one theme and improvising!

[allyoop2251]

this is possibly the most beautiful thing I've ever heard

[eduardobaplenz]

@allyoop2251 +1.



[allyoop2251]

wow

[1Eu4ic]

The phrase "I dont believe in god" is silly and pretentious - it translates to "I dont believe in one who isnt God." By capitalizing "Atheist" and lower-casing "god" (when referring to a singular supreme Being) you sound religious AND stupid, two things when put together = danger.

[muzo56281721]

The 8.22 min duration that has been kindly uploaded really ought to be listened to in its entirety: LA Scala - part 1, 2, and even Over The Rainbow lends further balance to an album that should rank alongside The Koln Concert. La Scala takes a listener on an epic voyage to the depths of self. Emotions within never believed existing, will rise up and humble self. This isn't a musical sphere in as much as a surrealism one where each listener will perhaps experience a totally different journey.

[hesathinkingman]

you know what? i don't like it. sorry, youtube. these chords sound like they could be from any angsty pop artist. don't get me wrong, i'm a man who loves his music, but this is generic to me.

[yzxklfg]

@hesathinkingman Listen to something else. And youtube didn't write the music. You're generic.

[lytrosis1]

@hesathinkingman well all I can say is that I deeply respect your comment, while I don't agree with it, because you justify it and you express polite saying the most simple thing: I don't like it! For me music, and art in general, is something very personal when it comes to opinions and there is not right or wrong when you say I like something or the opposite. People like yzxklfg must understand that and stop being so assertive.

[pjd57]

Keith, I have listened to you for 37 years. When I die I want to listen to you for all eternity.

[thedarkplayer]

per certe cose non esistono parole per il commento

[mastellonefrancesco]

Io suono chitarra classica, ma i brividi che kate jarret riesce a procurare, nascono da una "nuova base", "una nuova concezione"... usa l'anima...

[Shazbut01]

Spiritual seekers past, present and future have eventually discovered the oneness that exists before mental differentiation, that which gets personified and thus eternally misunderstood, as God. This place doesn't contain resistance and in it life expresses itself totally. It is not hyperbole to say this music touches the divine. There is little conceptual framework to his playing. It can't be defined emotionally because it is almost pure expression. It's what all art aims to be.

[danfit83]

Al minuto 5.07 mi commuovo sempre, è inutile.

[lidiascardoso]

wonderful!!!!

[tekknoplast]

Keith Jarrett must be a god. no human could do such a thing

[MissGunbar]

great song. thanx a lot!

[gcgx]

This was my first time listening to Keith and la scala. This is too beautiful for words.

[tyranisation]

je ne sais trop mais lorsque l'ont écoute cela nous ne pouvons qu'être dans le transport de l'instrument son corps joue pour que nous l'écoutions dans la pleine campagne du jazz dans sa total force

[paijaaguppai]

perfection

[tarahumare]

beautiful,amazing,speechless,i­ncredible,on that way this music did affect on my heart...

[funkybarber1]

anybody knows who painted the picture displayed at 6:43 ? and at 8:00 as well

I find them great :)

[TheBakedPotato420]

Absolutely gorgeous! The emotion is like nothing else.

[GaryNull]

Rick Wakeman blows this guy away.

[mdol256]

@GaryNull

you don't know music

[cosmicjazzer]

@GaryNull oh ffs don't be so silly

[UppruniTegundanna]

The last 20 minutes of the Lausanne concert is another one of my favourite extracts of piano music ever. He could really close out his pieces so emotionally.

[maidoodesu]

so nice !  ですね.

[otavioandradas]

musically speaking, the 8 minutes from Keith Jarrett's Bregenz concert are significantly more interesting, more captivating and more complex. There, he achieved the impossible.

La Scala is beautiful, but it doesn't contain the freshness of the Bregenz recording.

And please, for those who like to make everything so BOLD, do not mix "beautiful playing" with "best" playing or anything like that. Actually, the concept of "best" does not exist.

[westofdashannon]

wow....

[Romichouu]

This end is much more enjoyable and beautiful with all the tension built by the piece before...

[Zebarbas]

I know people are going to thumb down me, but i hate it when he makes those weird noises. It is an avoidable stain in this otherwise untouchable pice of musical beauty.

[HigashiSeiun]

@Zebarbas

Yet this untouchable piece of music wouldn't exist without those weird noises. Think about that.

[panagogt]

@Zebarbas

To me this is a heartbreaking reaction and it absolutely exresses me.

[Strategicxx]

ill...

[thedarkplayer]

fucking perfect

[pwgavlas]

Piano GOD!

his music is awesome!

[ursuletu74]

Beautiful!!

[dvallesi]

..this, and the last part of Vienna part I, I've always tought they are the best music minutes ever recorded.

There is nothing comparable to music talking itself, just flowing trought Jarrett. And in those piece endings, music had something big to tell us

[pompo2000]

@dvallesi

Totally agree. For me it is The Koln Concert.

[sergioprs]

wow

[cosmicjazzer]

This is alchemy.

[annacaragnano]

Che poesia!

[giampi46]

Bellissimo! Grazie per averlo pubblicato.

[papa1980]

This album is simply fantastic. Along with Radiance it's my favorite Jarrett work by far.

[quogir1]

gut soweit

[medeskito1]

la belleza, lo sutil, la inteligencia emotiva, la tecnica, el vuelo, la pasion, todo lo que existe detras de la musica, eso es esta fraccion de musica del concierto de Keith, todo esto en 8 minutos, zarpado en magia e incansable de volver a escucharlo una y otra vez

[brodo1204]

How truely moving. The Koln concert, Moth and the Flame. This man is a genius with a soul.

[LenovoFightsPoverty]

@314noceau Sometimes some thing are too beautifull to be true.

Also atheist, but I had the same feeling with this but before also with some Prince songs.

I think u hear this music when we die and pass the white tunnel to "heaven".

[BreatheLust]

Keith Jarret is great.... He has something that no one else has.

[ZiemowitBucko]

when i first heard the Koln Concert i couldnt stop listening to it for about a month. i' t's gonna take little longer with this i think.

[modir23]

it's 8 months now that i'm listening to koln concert every day !!

[modir23]

@modir23 wow !! I said this 3 months ago and i'm still listening to this masterpiece :-))

[19TOFY58]

a Classic definitely...Jarrett never fails an audience..i also like him edgie with Miles on the early 70's that was great.

[vasmujo]

indescriptible emoción. alegría celular.

[joshmc4]

the chord at exactly 5:20 min is the best chord known to man with out a doubt. (5min 20 this version, 41min 11 the real version) this chord contains so much power, so much passion energy and love. it is truely wonderful.

[dvallesi]

The timber of chord at 1:39 it's quite wonderful as well

[thedarkplayer]

best song ever

[astorlisapiazzolla]

Outside the chord inside the music !

[dario1947]

I had forgotten just how beautiful this piece was. There are many memorable passages in Keith's solo performances and this is probably one of his very best. Thank you for posting it.

[InifinityInc]

Came across this quite by accident. What a moving peice. Perfect way to start my day. This is music that draws your soul from its hiding place.

[XxTwist67xX]

and this is only the last 8 minutes of PART 1 of two parts

[Nyquistic]

Play this at FULL VOLUME at 4am.

[314noceu]

I am an Atheist. But in this music, I see god. This confusion makes me cry buckets of tears that nobody sees.

[raphaelhudson]

Hegel says that a work of art in perfection describes the same content as a true religious truth or a philosophical truth- the absolute - that which has actualised its potential. Keith is doing that here- giving voice to a structure of the universe which is part of himself but also universal, and part of all of us.

[otavioandradas]

@314noceu sorry, there is nothing about theism or atheism in this music. This is a gifted improviser doing what he does best. The concept of God should play no part in any aesthetics.

[loren1283]

@otavioandradas I dont know about that, most if not all good improvisers believe in somthing higher.

[otavioandradas]

@loren1283 I cannot comment on Keith Jarrett's beliefs. What I can comment on is the idea that something "beautiful" has the presence of a "god" inherent to it.

That's fantasy and comes with a lot of judgement, which is dangerous.

It's a fact that the idea of "god" has inspired many artists, but at the same time too many human beings have been massacred for not believing in deities.

Music is energy. And energy is pretty much everything. God is just an extrapolation of what we don't know.

[otavioandradas]

@314noceu you see something nice, something that has great energy. that has nothing to do with god. you don't need to get confused. just enjoy it.

what you see is a human being using great intelligence, emotions, talent and hard work to create something good.

[krugertown]

@314noceu get a job you hippy

[mcphate]

wow. it's so great to see that someone feels the same way about this passage. i completely agree. tho i'm a bit torn between this and the last 10 mins or so of vienna part I.

[myreau]

Beauty...

[DuranXL]

Almost as good as the last 6 minutes of The Koln Concert..

'Nuff said!

[joshmc4]

Truely beautiful. Jarrett has a way of making it so much more than just music. he makes me feel something far beond anything words can describe, a genius, a true genius.

[Alessandro1985]

music of existenz

[AtterseeSommer]

But why does he moan and groan? A friend said it's orgasmic.

[utuber2]

He's thinking of all Youtube comments he's going to get.

[AtterseeSommer]

This music is beautiful. I may have to get La Scala. To all 4 who voted me thumbs down: Eat shit.

[DeenZaa]

this is awsome music,keith is the best!  Thank You!

[GarageSPA]

...

[spiritusvocis]

Amo la musica e il pianoforte, ma questa musica mi ha veramente sorpreso...

Alberto

[mama2tbug]

these last 8 minutes take all their sense because they're a complete release of the tension that invades the 38 first minutes of this track. The whole part I is an amazing musical trip, but he couldn't finish this better than this. Some of the most magic minutes of improvised music ever made on a piano

[sgtb1961]

Man, I couldn't agree more. I just revisted this after about ten years from last listening. Simply amazing. No one can touch Keith.

[cosmicjazzer]

This is almost unbearably beautiful...

[farooldi]

Non è un genio?!?!

[manrfo]

Una volta, quando ero molto giovane ed amavo già Keith, lessi che "Lalene" era -the most beautiful sound next to silence -... ora lo è questo pezzo... giuli 55

[co2md]

in this here present gem -- Keith got it goin

[joyumn]

i used to tape this last part and listened to it over and over again... wishing to ignore and forget all the sadness and all those intense chaos that led before...only to cherish that very last indescribable delight...

[JoanPatitucci]

Doesn't make much sense when plucked out of the middle of a longer piece. Evey note affects the next so you really must start at the very beginning.

[flamenco81]

complimenti a chi ha scelto questa parte del live alla scala..ritengo che sia il momento in cui Lui ritrova la "luce" dopo la misteriosa e poi tormentata sezione che lo precede..certo per apprezzare questi 8.22 minuti bisogna prima ascoltare il materiale precedente..per poi essere presi da quella che secondo me è una vera e propria Catarsi..vabè basta..con le parole nn si puo' descrivere l'indescrivibile..e il live alla Scala..per chi puo' comprendere..parla da solo..!!

[verte22]

Certo. Sono assolutamente d'accordo con te. Chiedo questa parte - la nascita dell 'anima. Ma per vederi la nascita si devi prima cosa ha desiderari (volere multissimo) 'per 36 minuti. Ti vedo capire. Grazie per commentare. Mi auguro che il mio italiano e comprensibile. Cari saluti!

[Elephinat]

@flamenco81 : ciao, io essendo un po' nuova in questo tipo di musica, sarei curiosa di sapere dove posso sentire questa prima parte che e' un po' misteriosa e tormentata?

[flamenco81]

@Elephinat ciao..allora questa è la parte finale del primo tempo del " live " alla Scala..

insomma se lo vuoi sentire tutto devi trovare il cd di Keith Jarrett " La Scala" ..

ciao

Antonio

[IgorJanis]

this is so strong and beautiful it makes me cry:))

[godawica]

if you don´t believe in god just listen to this music

this is so beautiful, i´ve listened to it maybe 300 times (köln,paris,vienna,osaka as well) and it gets better and better

[robagetep]

I hope when you are watching footage from the 2nd World War, or just the evening news, you are thinking that they are also proofs of god's existence, because humans alone cannot be so cruel and stupid.

I don't believe in god, but this music is miraculous.

[cosmicjazzer]

Truly. It really is nothing short of a miracle when music of this beauty manifests...

[isprone]

The best, this track is one of the best in the absolute sense. I do not know how to define it, perhaps music of the sky.

Keith Jarret is eternal as Mozart.

[mishima1974]

This music saved me from great despair.

I remember vividly. I drove to N. Ca. by myself back in '97. 'La Scala' was my soundtrack. 

Sublime.

[thejazzmusic11]

Jarrett is a genius!

[familiareal]

I spent DAYS listening to these EXACT 8 minutes. Even for Jarrett, it's *incredible*!

[pianonoten]

Yes, Jarrett is more than our world.

[quattrocentocolpi]

maybe the best 8 minutes of piano solo history

[verte22]

let me quote you on that on info page.

[pianonoten]

Thanks, I know this 'music from heaven' very well. La Scala is (??) Jarretts last Solo Concert with long symphonies.
