The sensitivity is breath-taking. All that love. All that experience. And the lack of ego. The music just speaks.

Watched this video about 50 times now and I just about hold it together until the Sonatina and then the tears flow. Everything about this is beautiful and good. Thank you :)

That's pure gold. Great musicians being just servants to music, no ego, just love and respect, and a breathtaking sensitivity, good taste, and perfect mutual understanding. RIP, Márta, and thanks so much you both for this amazing beauty and lesson.

R.I.P., Marta. And ad multos annos, György! So beautiful.

Beautiful. I love how plainly the room is decorated, too, with not even a visible microphone. Such humility and musicianship. Luminous.

Das zählt zu den Höhepunkten, die ich erleben durfte, vielen Dank für dieses übergroße Geschenk!

Such beautiful human beings. Two masters! What a gift! Thank you so much!

So sweet. I wish that I could have this too when I am older.

Man and woman grown together like two strong branches. Their co existence is beautiful. Mastery cooperation isolated from the outside, taken out from every context, leaving just these two bothered with the music as if this what they will do until they pass. God bless and people adore them.🙏👍

There is so much to love about this, as Rainer Langlotz outlines below. It just made me feel like time stood still and all the cares of this world melted away (writing this on Jan 14, 2021). Thank you Kurtags for this lovely video.

I heard them live in 2011 playing Bach transcriptions and other music by Kurtág. One of the best concerts I have ever attended.

Wonderful, the power of music, gives you strength and love till the end of your days.

How amazing that these two are able to play music at their age at all, let alone a Bach piece transcribed as a duet! This is what love looks like after 60+ years, when it's done well.

Absolutely divine, wonderful, an inspiration to all musicians.

Elképesztő felvétel! Egyszerűen gyönyörű ez a két ember!

Their playing is lovely, such a gentle touch.

A wonderful sense of beauty, love and concentration

Danish Radio has just broadcasted a program about The Holy Spirit. It was an interview wt a very learned priest and the priest was asked to choose a melody to the program. He chose this version of Bachs 'Gottes Zeit'.

Beautiful, and Kurtag's own music is very surreal and expressive in other aesthetics, which makes a lovely contrast with this video

Not only great professionals but they both are so cute and lovable… I just melt…❤

0:16 - Das alte Jahr vergangen ist BWV 614 2:26 - Duette in G-Dur BWV 804 5:59 - Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit (Sonatina BWV 106) - Actus tragicus

Спасибо, очень-очень понравилось. Слушали и замирали.

Farewell Màrta. May Gyòrgy find solace in the beauty they have created.

It's 3:13 am in Monterrey, Mexico where I am, and as I listen to the Sonatina from Cantata 106, my tears slowly flow. Thank you.

I think it's pointless to talk about musical techniques here. I just put my hands on my knees and listen quietly.

What a delight. Beautiful transcriptions. Thank you for posting EditioMusicaBudapest.

Apparently it is their clear intention that they play these music so softly. It's not because of fraility or anything like that. Tremendous musical intelligence behind this performance.

Intimacy - personal and musical - sensitivity, and sublime piano playing!

Absolutely beautiful and touching. Thank you.

This goes for me above all the award-winning records. And it’s the audiovisual dimension that brings the understanding of their absolute unity and love. Thank you for keeping this transformative moment alive and accessible.

This is how to express true love as musicians. I remember having seen here n YT Márta and György Kurtág playing the entire cycle of his transcriptions. But I do not find it anymore.

Soo amazing and enchanting... this is love in an another dimension

Sublime. (RIP Márta Kurtág)

Unglaublich schön!

Ohhhhh Age means nothing. This is melody of love ❤️

Beau Duo , en accord . Quel Talent !! Merci de Partager . Bonjour .

Admirable! What a nice performence, what a nice couple 🙏

Very touching, passed the acid test, made me cry..

Interesting choice of piano. It really proves that Bach can be played on any instrument. It always sounds good.

Touching to the point of tears.

It doesn't get much better than this.

Simplicity is indescribable.

This is marvelous. 정말 아름답네요.

Magnifique...

Absolutely Wonderful!

Finalmente un po' di musica non commerciale

So beautiful

Adorable ❤️

Bellissimo, grazie!

RIP Marta !

"... especially to obtain a cantable way of playing (key instruments) ...", said BACH in the preface to his inventions. I don´t believe it is possible to play more cantabile on an old upright piano than what can be heard here. More important: There is no Ego neither in the transcription nor in the execution. All servanthood to the greatest Composer. Soli Deo Gloria became reality.

Great music played on a teriffic piano... wonderfull!

Great music, God be thanked.

Absolutely sublime...

breathtaking！

so beautiful

Que belleza, cuanta sensibilidad 👏👏👏👏

just wonderful.

Just lovely.

Gyönyörű! Köszönöm.

Dolcissimo...

Meraviglioso! Amazing!

Magnifique

C'est tellement juste et touchant !

This is pure Love!

So lovely

Love ....

wonderful!

Awesome.

so deep. love

And there are some toxic people who doesn't have any values in there life and judged them and disliked the video. But we could ignore them and listen and love them as much as we want.

Wonderful

눈물나도록 아름답고 새털처럼 부드럽습니다

Sublime~

The performers on this recording are 88 and 89 years old (!!), but they not only could still play, but also preserved the European culture of music-making, sound production, phrasing, and expressiveness. Márta Kutrag is no longer alive, and György Kurtág is 98 years old (!!) and has just been awarded the Ricardo Wolf Prize for Music, awarded by the Israeli Ricardo Wolf Foundation.

Nothing else can be love.

2:16 György: No! It's too many trills, Márta! ❤

尊い。

Perfect music for Easter, apotheosis of the upright piano.

Fabulous!! xo :-)

Belleza trascendental! Consulto: se pueden adquirir las transcripciones para cuatro manos de G Kurtag? Gracias por la info.

Magical

❤️❤️🙏🙌

There is nothing more beautiful than seeing soulmates creating music together. The piano has a lovely tone. What make is it?

90 anni lei e 90 lui eccezionali

amazing

Marta expression at 1:00 is funny and cute

Simply wonderful. Can I purchase the Bach transcriptions sheet music

I'll stay with Bach, although this is the best I have heard from the old master...

Bellos

Romantic

Wow!

Very nice!

bravo maestros!!!!

Köszönöm! Is there more to this performance beyond the three movements?

Az Actus tragicustól kicsordul a könny.

meravigliosi

Grüße an Armin Thurnher, dessen Seuchenkolumne mich hergebracht hat

Nice speed on the 614. Too many pianists race through Bach transcriptions, and are too loud.

It could be you and me, but we'll never meet.
