  • @Ray0X0 "Gilels en cuanto a Beethoven no tiene ni la comprensiòn ni la sensibilidad necesarias"... ¿qué has bebido que te ha hecho tan mal?

  • The most awesome for me is 08:02! Beware, your ears are gonna explode!

  • the first bars sounded like a schubert opening of the late sonatas.... Very interesting!!!!!

  • @Bret6464 Disculpen pero voy a escibir en español porque así me puedo expresar mejor.

    Gilels en cuanto a Beethoven no tiene ni la comprensión ni la sensibilidad necesarias, su Beethoven no se compara con el de Arrau.. Beethoven fue un compositor clásico-romántico, con un complejo mundo interior que reflejaba en su música y el cual sólo Arrau muestra en toda su dimensión.

    No olvide que Arrau no sólo se formó en la escuela romántica alemana, sino que provenía de la casta beethoveniana.

  • @Ray0X0 In that comment you quote Arrau, he describes GILELS the one artist who in fact "becomes" Beethoven in his interpretations. Listen to Gilels Moonlight sonata adagio sostenuto and presto agitato :-))

  • What YOU said, has nothing to do with my account. Forget it all !

    What you said, has nothing to do with my account. Forget it all !

  • @darkblueangel1956 "The ideal interpreter should have a gift of divination, it is so difficult to explain, is a process I would say... is magical because the Interpreter becomes Beethoven and without that magical process can not interpret it, one has to become Beethoven.

    The score is just a skeleton to be filled with the life of one, with the blood of oneself " (Claudio Arrau)

    "Conformity, conformity is one of the most horrible things in our world ..." (Claudio Arrau)

  • @darkblueangel1956

    "In approaching to a work I try to deepen and understand, of course, the general atmosphere at the moment they were created... and where was the composer's life. I try to understand the general time in their literature, painting , sculpture, architecture ... in general I try to understand how people lived at that time, and the rest is creative intuition. " (Claudio Arrau)

  • @Ray0X0

    Non credo proprio ! Claudio Arrau è eccezionale in tante Sonate di Beethoven. Ma con queste Variazioni in do minore ci vuole passionalità e spirito virile !!! Guarda le indicazioni sulla partitura musicale, per favore !
