For me his live perfomances are slightly better than this recording, especially from the 90s. Seems a bit dry here.

Excessively intense but i love it

is anyone gonna talk about the increbile balance of the second movement?! Like my gosh, how is it so articulated perfectly, even when slowed down you can hear the notes perfectly!

👏 não há palavras para expressar

Why is the first movement always played so fast???? It’s marked GRAVE! Even slower than largo. Doppio movimento would be in the largo/andante range… .75x speed is where it’s at

Is there any relationship between Chopin dying of tuberculosis and the audience coughing nonstop 😂

2:38 I stopped everything I was doing to analyze this and try to find out what made this moment so breathtaking.

40:18 is ossia cadenza?) sound like unusual

Zimerman can reach 10th? I thought his hand size is quite small

I just heard Zimerman performing this piece last night, 12 Nov 2024, at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre Concert Hall.

One of the most amazing pieces of music I have ever heard. When I heard it for the first time it was one of life's 'peak moments' for me. Pure genius.

1:23

Thanks!

VERY GOOD!! A perfect encapsulation of the spirit of the impressionists with a great sense of musicality and a unique harmonic language. You are a very good composer

Am I the only one who's shocked by the tempo changes in this performance? i like organic tempo but this was too much for me

🙏

Oh gosh, Zimerman! 😭❤

I love Zimerman's interpretations 🌿✨️

24:38 ABSOLUTE FAVE✨

Amazing how the human mind works and how far we’ve come with music.

Brahms apparently did follow Chopin's path of writing scherzos

Recording quality is very bad. Piano sounds like a 17th century clavecin with metal plectra!!!! Lol

Busoni probably took notes from Brahms when he wrote his transcription, and added something himself.

Un amen per zia Amelia e nonna Olga; spero che dal purgatorio siano salite in Paradiso.

15 now

Transcribed for tenor alto range mostly. This is a soprano range violin piece. The character of the piece is grossly distorted by thr choice of such a low register. Good performance but poor transcription.

13:25

Kinda underwhelming tbh

Didn’t know Zimmerman had a recording on this piece. Very cool!

❤❤❤

Is there anything in musical literature proceeding this piece that compares to the finale? I suppose it could be thought of as an etude. It is not atonal, but almost appears that way as it is such a blurred rush - what if chords became wind. It just seems so unique.

There is such age and experience in young Brahms. So much more so than the other stereotypical prodigies, you get the sense that Brahms was fundamentally mature, as a human being, when he wrote these. Young Mozart, Saint-Saens, Mendelssohn are all brilliant, genius even, but it always sounds like music being written by a young person. But (for example) the beginning of no. 2 in this set, like so many other examples, sounds like it's been written by someone who has lived an entire life.

Good,better,the best ... Zimerman!!!🎼👍👏

I heard this song first time, but i love this special melody and feelings!

It's 15 now...

50:24 how??!

Thank you for posting this beautiful work, which everybody should listen to. It is a remedy for the soul...

I’m waiting for Rach 4 and Rhapsody on a theme of Paganini

Please take the ads away

It's a bit too much rubato for my liking in some places, but still awesome!

thank you for sharing these

How do they even play this piece from memory?

The coughing 😭

The best interpretation I have heard. Consistent, holds tension amazingly in the first movement, that breaks open so nicely with the arpeggiated chords in bar ~181. It is absolutely a goosebumps inducing moment, also the ending is so nicely kept together, he doesn't rush it, it is fast but so precise. I can't get enough of these, absolutely fantastic!

I really enjoy this performance

30:55

TH-cam should put ads between movements, not in the middle of them.

Las Sonatas para Piano de Brahms reclaman ser escuchadas 1, 2, y 3 veces para ser reconocidas. Es como una de sus características. Igual me sucede con las de Schubert.

I like the 3rd and 4th movt. But the 1st and 2nd movt seems too hurried. Does his style sounds a bit more classical than romantic, sounds similar to beethoven somehow

48:33 gorgeous chord there
