Me: gotta go to bed early today so i'll be focused tomorrow in the university 01:00 AM: watching Christoph Waltz and Daniel Barenboim in a conversation

If I'm not mistaken, both of these gentlemen speak English, German, French and Italian fluently!

Mr. Barenboim is a great human and a great musician! Enjoyed the great insights from both Daniel & Christoph.

A combination of two personal favorites I never expected together - great

I actually agree with Waltz that the question 'What?' should precede the question 'How?' First ask yourself what is it in its core that what you are playing, then the 'how' will come naturally. First think about what do you want your sound to 'mean' and then choose your means to do it- the sound.

These are my two favorite artists and I love them so much. Between my love for film and my respect for what Christoph has done for the industry, as well as my adoration for classical music and Barenboim's interpretations, especially all 32 Beethoven sonatas, I have found a rare gem which I won't find another comparable for quite some time. Thank you

The collab I never knew I needed.

Mr Baremboim and Hanz Landa. The perfect combination.

¡Qué gusto que haya subido otro video, Maestro! Siempre aprende uno de usted.

Seeing you once again makes me so happy, Maestro. The love I have for you and your music shall always be extricable part of my soul. And may I say what an interesting and delightful comparison between two beautiful branches of humanities this is.

To listen to two great masters in their fields have a conversation is rare treat I feel honored to eavesdrop on. "Knowledge is different from information" You study to gain knowledge, you watch social media for information/disinformation/etc. Pure gold.

I just finished reading Daniel's book "Everything is Connected." I would read a few pages, then I'd have to close the book to literally breathe and process a new way of looking at music - and the Middle East. Similarly, as I watched and listened to this discussion in this video, I frequently paused it so that I could jot down ideas shared by both Daniel and Chistoph that were singular moments of personal 'epiphanies' - the questions of "what" and "how" and the difference between information and knowledge. I am an adult piano student & I have returned to university - I am ever the student; ever learning. I have been studying music history this past year, and Daniel's books and videos have given me an appreciation and understanding of music far beyond that of any university textbook. Thank you, Daniel Barenboim. You have enlarged my world.

In past years I didn't like the idea of interpreting music, about "something", or to say that "this phrase is about a sweet breeze", etc. but i have recently come to understand that music for the sake of music is merely an impossible illusion. There is always a "what" behind the composer's music, besides "how". You can hear Lamond talk about liszt speaking about chopin's polonaise, describing a section of it as the marching of the cavalry. Knowing this automatically helped me appreciate and understand the section much easier and helped to to execute the "how", reletively easier than before.

Am I the only one who felt there was an underlying piss contest between the two masters? I don't know why but there was an element of hostility.

Welcome to KZfaq Daniel and your whole KZfaq creator team. Looks interesting and I can't wait to see more. I would love for you to do collaborations with other Classical Music KZfaqrs like myself. It could bring a more well-rounded KZfaqr like experience. Plus it would be fun!

Thank you Maestro Barenboim for.making this wonderfull videos!!

Really enjoy every video in master Barenboim's channel.

Couple of genius. Thnak you so much! Greetings from Colombia.

Daniel!! Muchas gracias por estos videos. Escucharlo hablar es un privilegio, así como también escucharlo tocar música. Aprendo muchísimo con cada video. Lo esperamos en el Colón nuevamente en el 2018!!! Thank you and Mr. Waltz, two geniuses for sure!!!

Te amo! Maestro Barenhoim. Best wishes from Hong Kong.

Dear Mr. Barenboim, I listen to your interpretations of Beethoven`s sonatas nearly everyday. I am a great fan of yours, truly. And I hope you take your time to read the comments on your own, sometime. In my opinion, you show every movement of his work in a very appealing and enjoyable way. With this said, I just want to express my admiration to you and for this channel, for talking about your own experiences and conversation like this.

I agree with Christoph Waltz in this. It seems to me, that the analogy and the philosophy behind how to achieve something in Art, not just Music, is established via understanding WHAT. And I can't believe Barenboim maintained the personal opinion here while in reality, in almost every day life, we must choose WHAT, in order to execute HOW.

Two very inteligente people reaching very deep with a profound knowledge of their trade. You don’t need tô be an actor or composer to take allot from this. I wish there was more. I also wish Christoph Waltz would do a series of podcast in any subject - it would genius!

two geniuses really..... wonderful discussion

This is a great actor. Interesting discussion on the similarities and differences in music and acting according to these two great artists.

I wish there were new ,recent episodes I just love listening these two 😊

"In music, you're basically having a conversation..."

Wow, great idea, fidelity to scores and scripts. NICE!

This is an awesome combo

There are moments I think: youtube is great! This conversation is just full of them.

Thank you for this conversation!!! I (am a musician) agree more with Waltz!!! We know a language yet we can say a word in many ways and so, with many meanings, and the same will happen with music. It all depends on the *intention* -Waltz-, i could play a chord with no musical purpose but if it goes to another chord THEN I can say: wait, run, cry, shout, question, answer.

5:35, a reference to Charles Ives' piece "The Unanswered Question!"

Mr. Waltz said it perfectly. Some of these conductors can wave their arms very eloquently with corresponding expressions, but probably have never written anything of consequence or worth remembering and yet, they wield so much power in deciding who gets performed. LET THEM WRITE A PIECE WORTH REMEMBRANCE.

True artists' talk

Such an interesting conversation. On one level actors/readers and musicians are doing the same thing; bringing to live, uncovering and putting a meaning into signs (notes/letters) on a paper. Actors bring persons and situation to live and unlock their personalities and reactions and thereby, hopefully, uncover the writers intentions. Musicians bring notes to live and in that way, hopefully, uncover meaning and intentions of a composer. In some cases going beyond what words can possible describe.

This is perfect. Greetings from Spain.

Very deep conversation...it's funny because I have always assumed Christopher would have this very German or Dutch accent and Daniel has more of that and he's Argintinean...but Christopher sounds American...non the less I love both of these mens work.

I feel so overwhelmed by too many ideas and not knowing what to do with them when I try to write music. I feel it's a lot like the job of a good movie writer, or writing a good story. It's not about the actual ideas that you have, but the way you're able to put those ideas together. You can have a thousand different motifs kicking around in your head and think you understand everything there is to understand about music theory and tonality and harmony but it all means absolutely nothing if you don't know how to go about crystallizing a singular object from the boiling bubbling brew of your soup of ideas

1:30 That's me when i'm bored in class.

The BEST maestro

"very dangerous to talk about the meaning of music". Thank you Meister Barenboim, this statement is enlightening.

Bueeeniiiisimo !!!!!!!!!!

These two need to be speaking to each other in German instead!!! Please I'm sure they could be much more clear this way. They are great together!!

I think Mr. Barenboim plays the piano, which is my favorite instrument and I don't play it, plays beautifully and I enjoy listening to him.

increíble charla aunque me hubiese gustado mas en alemán!

You choose a type of musik in Purpose of your mood

I think, Christoph Waltz`s interpretations of a text can be compared with the conducting of S.Celibidache or the playing ofA.B. Michelangeli or F.Gulda because i don´t know any other actor, who pronounces and articulates the words so clearly like Mr. Waltz (at least in german).

Maestro Barenboim, What responsibilities do we have as musicians when we play a piece of music?

It must be intimidating to have Daniel paying attention just to you even for a person like Christoph that have so many intelligent things to say.

Buenas sr Barenboim Me gustaria si es de su agrado que hablara de cada una de las sonatas de beethoven por separado, su opiniones de cada una ellas por ejemplo. Gracias y muy intructivo sus videos.

Christoph Waltz 🤩 What a Beautiful Man 🥰❤

i don't speak German but would like to have heard this conversation given in German

Daniel barenboim composed a waltz named christoph waltz and here it is hehe.

Christoph! Love him so much!

My question to Mr. Barenboim is, do you listen to rock n' roll, and if you do what're your favorite bands and songs?

note: 9:20

Top 10 anime crossovers

Different instruments. Different skills. Different interpretations. Different models. Different teachers. Different rooms. Different acoustics. Different listeners. Everything is always different. And how does anyone know what was going on in someone's head 200 years ago?

What point did Barenboim want to make? Waltz also didn't know. The result is 15 minutes of meretricious non-conversation.

Why should there be a hierarchy or musicians and actors (both in essence dealing with sound and its presentation) in the first place?

en palabras de Federico Garcia Lorca "...levantar el texto.." el momento en el que el texto se vuelve acción dramática

The art of Waltz is like primaria in comparision to what classical music has to offer

An orchestra can start playing the Beethovens 5th in the most gently and sweet way if they want so. Its not written IN the score, that that beginning should sound angry or violent or scary as it is always played. So…how we decide that we are going to play in the second way as it is normally played?

📍11:11

when will the next part of the series be uploaded?

I've made a german video about Christoph Waltz film tips. Here you can see the three parts: kzfaq.info/sun/PL3Hp2NkfigRhZ8Qm1rZQFZKStoG1QhkJ6 English subs are planned!

Can anyone tell me what plays first in this video?

Erratum: At 5:47 "... G-minor symphony of Mozart" not "... G-minus"!

hola

paraphrasing the Spanish writer and playwriter Federico García Lorca "the text raises from words into dramatic action"

🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹

Daniel you remind me of Joseph Ratzinger whom I admire very much.

"Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning." Jesus is the way the truth and the life. "whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved"

No french subtitles

What piece is that in the intro?

Subtitles pleaaase

Why?!! Who thought about this?! Why do they have to discuss?

In music as in drama, to be completely faithful to the author or composer is not always the way to go, it depends in the quality of the work you are interpreting. As an example, an actor is doing Shakespeare, let say Hamlet, the quality of the text is such, that even if it can benefit a little with a great performance, it doesn’t really need it, someone can stand up and only read the words and you will appreciate a great work. But that dont´t happen with a film like, let say, “Joker”, the words are not enough, the script is not comparable with the text in Hamlet, so it certainly will benefit with a great performance, as it happened with the actor that played the "Joker". This is true in drama and in music. Sometimes there is more space for some interpreter to contribute, sometimes there is less. And in the case of a master piece perhaps is none.

What´s the name of the song at 0:16 ?

I'm neither a musician nor an actor, so I didn't really understand the essence of the dialogue. But pleasant nonetheless

two completely different levels of thought...

and where are parts 2,3 and 4?

did Tarantino write this dialogue?

For a musician, instrumentalist, the first and extremely hard thing to do is separate the music written from all the mistakes and unvoluntary wrong things you do BECAUSE of the difficulties YOUR instrument has for you. You have to learn to be sensitive, awake, and be conscious always that probably your instrument is dictating things that you dont really musically want or mean to play. Wrong accents, wrong phrasings, etc. Once we have accomplished a lot of that, can we FIRST start talking about text reading philosophy

Mr Baremboim you have so good questions, but Mr Waltz haven’t answered any of them. Too bad !

i hate how this universe takes great people away from us

I didn't know Barenboim can also speaker German xD

Christoph Waltz is a good example to how to speak without saying anything.

I think i’m gonna throw up in my mouth

The audio quality is terrible.

Dear Mr. Barenboim, there were several interesting topics in this video. I do not agree with the fact that music is an art greater than theatre: in my personal experience, working as a pianist and composer with actors, actresses and dramatic directors, I found out that theatre is mainly made not by words. As music can be written on the paper, theatre can too: on one side you have notes, tempos, indications by the composer, etc. On the other one you have wrods, acts, indications by the author. But in both cases you can not write the real "what it is" or the objective "how to play": every pianists plays a piece of music in their own way, as every actor/actress does with a piece of drama. It is something very subjective. (And even your personal feelings are included in your perfomance: it is something like the concept you mentioned concerning listening to a piece of music by Mozart.) As far as words in theatre are concerned, I said theatre is not only made by words: I see that the dramatic performance is mostly made of choices about "how" the actor/actress decides to show the dramatic text on the scene, similarly to what happens in a musical performance. The difference is "what" physically they show: music is just sound. Theatre is more than sound, as a sense. Much of a dramatic performance is braught by the view: the body, the position of the performer is something that can astonish our view. To my eyes, theatre is a living portrait, which always shocks me terribly. Acts, gestures can shock us, in a different way than sound and, therefore, music do. Actually, I think too that both "what it is and how it is played" is decided by the performer. Of course, those two matters and also which one of them becomes the main question of the performer make the performance different. And, of course, the answer to those matters makes the biggest difference. That is the reason why I think theatre is just a different art, as music is. This is just my opinion. I hope you apprecited reading it. A warm good bye!

I love Christophe Waltz. He is bright, intelligent and respectful. Barenboim is skilled but a blown up macho and not modest. There is no modesty in Barenboim only pride.

Sehr geehrter Maestro Barenboim, als Mozart- und Beethoven Verehrer verstehe ich die maniziösen Frechheiten des eigentlichen an sich großen Pianisten Glenn Gould über diese beiden Meister nicht. Er meinte sogar, dass Mozart eher zu ,,früh als zu spät'' gestorben sei und die Appassionata von Beethovens mochte er auch nicht sonderbar. Daher möchte ich Ihre Meinung zu dieser Verachtung Goulds hören und wie Sie selber zu deren Musik stehen. Danke schonmal im Vorraus :-)

I liked Christoph describe the actors world very good I am not liking Barenboims talks of sound, again and again...., Its hisself .... I dont know ... love, objective. Do k 414 please....
