absolutely agree with you

I prefer Barenboim :-)

@@romanleo740 At least you should say: the young Barenboim ... Why? Now he is an excellent conductor, but not more an outstanding classical pianist.

You can barely put a sentence together.

I agree with you.

Слушайте Рихтера.

I completely agree with you 😉

Absolutely true😌🎹💪🏻

So do I

and so is Schroeder

He's dead.

@@searchmeinyoutube he will never die :)

Immortal!

Douglas Kay Why not Ashkenazy!

Me gusta mucho más Ashkenazy La forma en la que transmite la obra me emociona más

I prefer this record of Ashkenazi to the other one of Baremboin in youtube because it sounds less round, less perfect, more rude, more agressive, in 1st movement. And it's a good contrast with 2nd.

Is that you in the very front at 2:20?

Wrong choice lad

What? Ashkenazy is known for having small hands, being able to barely reach 9 notes

@@kakasvk I'm taller than Ashkenazy by two inches and my hands are smaller than his.

@@GnomicMaster then your hands much be pretty small as well

@@kakasvk As a pianist/composer my compositions are limited in technical spirit by the size of my hands. As it has been suggested, biology/anatomy dictates relative success. There are perfect swimmer bodies, perfect runner bodies, perfect rock climber bodies, and perfect musician bodies, especially hands and fingers. Ashkenazy is the exception to this rule. He hasn't the hand size of a Horowitz or Liszt or Lisitsa yet his mastery of the 88 keys is amazing. When I was still playing the music of others there were pieces I just could not play well due to having small hands. Off the top of my head I think of the third movement of the Moonlight. I mastered the easy first and second movements but the third was a huge challenge for me so I never played it well. This goes for other challenging compositions that favor large hands and long fingers.

@@GnomicMaster it's not really that super important to have big hands. Hand size is pretty overrated topic in piano world. Ashkenazy is far from only top level pianists in the world who have small hands. There are world class pianists who are reaching barely above octave. Yes, big hands give advantage over smaller hands especially for pieces that require big reaches, but there are always workarounds. Last resort being not playing omitting some pieces. On the other hand, smaller hands also give few advantages over big ones and big ones have their disadvantages too.

instablaster...

However, Beethoven would have observed the demisemiquaver rhythm he wrote in the first few seconds of the piece and not tried to smooth out the tension of the dotted rhythm!!!!!!!

@@grumpyoldpianist3251 Yes, Beethoven was (in)famous for being extremely adamant that all his music be played precisely the way he wrote it.

Not too fast my ass. I'm learning this piece and my left hand dies thinking of this speed

i like it raw ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

昔も今もアシュケナージが一番好き

I also like Maria João Pires' interpretations. She introduces a delicacy and vulnerability within the pieces.

@@intellectualesemv True enough. Then again I am 70 so those are the two I grew up with. It's the same with Mozart's concertos. Growing up it was Alfred Brendl. Today I have to admit that Mitsuko Uchida brings such warmth and sensitivity to them. I still have a soft spot for Herr Brendl though.

I agree but please add Wilhelm Kempff to your list of great pianists of that era.

Kamal Basu And Rubinstein!

I think immortal beloved is the term Beethoven used when referring to the love of his life in love letters that were found following his death. But then maybe you were saying Beethoven is ‘your’ immoral beloved? In which case fair play. He did indeed change the world. 👍

@@bbwnpat Immortal beloved is the name of one of the movies about his life.

@@patriciabravoriscal6264 yeah i know. It’s not referring to Beethoven himself though as you imply in your original comment. I just thought you might like to know that the movie ‘Immortal Beloved’ is named after the term Beethoven used when referring to the love of his life in love letters found following his death. - that was all. 😉… Great move by the way. I thoroughly recommend it. 🎵🎵🎵

@@bbwnpat The reason is that he was, is, and forever will be (because of his music) like the "immortal beloved" to so many people in the world... 🎼 🎶🎹🎻🎵

​@@bbwnpat Yes, he is "my" immortal beloved 😅

Мне вот эта интерпретация больше понравилась kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a8uTdpCYy5a-aWw.html

@@waldektrill680 Спасибо большое! Намного чище. Не могу слышать, когда с ритма сбиваются. Вот тут лучше всех - начинается с патетической, но не одним куском.

На мой взгляд,это -лучшее исполнение!

素晴らしいですね‼️私も来年70才になります。子どものころ10年間ピアノを習っていましたが、情けないことに今は多分ネコ踏んじゃったくらいしか弾けないとおもいます。聴く専門です。頑張って暗譜してください。応援していますね🎵‼️🙇

You should listen to Walter Klien.

Bravo.

Música e interpretación maravillosas.

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a8uTdpCYy5a-aWw.html

Me too!

I believe Askenazy is also very capable of conjuring the demonic - to raise hell, so to speak.

Indeed!

It's because of the pain beauty comes alive!!

Yes, your comment is as eloquent as his performance.

Ravishing. At once silken and On fire. The perfect musical roller coaster ride.

...and Tchaikovsky!

Couldn't agree more!!!

I agree. He embodies the emotional makeup of Beethoven, which so many forget when they play him.

He deserves yor aplause. Totally.

+@@teresaperez708 thanks～(´ⲱ`)

Oh, yes!

Then he is doing his job well. You've been captured under his spell, enthralled with each moment. However, I can assure you that Vladimir - like all musicians - is continually thinking ahead to the following notes. Failure to do so, would result in a loss of continuity which would break that spell. In fact, a pianist's fingers are often positioned ahead to the next keys, while the audience is still savoring the current notes. While enjoying such performances, we like to believe that our thoughts are directly tied to the artist's, but that is just a masterfully created illusion.
