Do you ever get to attend orchestra concerts in-person? Not sure if you have a symphony orchestra where you're located, but I feel like you'd really enjoy these pieces live

The last part is the battle between death and life, set to music. At the end the Dies Irae theme (which depicts death) is defeated by a theme from Rachmaninoff's The All Night Virgil. That theme symbolizes the resurrection of Christ.

You should try The bells from rachmaninoff. It is his masterpiece. Rach himselff said that it was his best.

« he is learking, waiting to catch yo a$$ » is the most accurate description I’ve heard yet of that section 😂

Unabashed I cry everytime I hear this most masterful piece of music.

Wow, such an amazing reaction by a first time listener for this extraordinary composition. Nothing in classical music will shock you after this. You have two new 76 year old subscribers who are going to check out your previous reactions while looking forward to your new ones. Great work. 👋👋

Lindo demais... Parece o hino dos anjos... Mozart é demais...

I fell in love with Prokofiev when I was about 15 and heard the Montagues and Capulets from Romeo and Juliet

Used in the musical Kismet "This is my beloved" - beautiful piece

Please make a reaction video for An Alpine Symphony by Richard Strauss (Haitink or Karajan's interpretation)!

Sounds gershwiny 🎹🎼🩵💙👯‍♀️💃

I love the english horn part because it sounds like someone singing :3

Hey dude, you should totally check out Ottorini Respighi’s Roman trilogy. It’s a collection of three tone poems: fountains of Rome, pines of Rome, and Roman festivals. You’d love it

best nocturne from the best chopin interpreter!

Gidi! Here are some video i think you should make. 1. Saint Saens Piano Concerto no 2 2. Rachmaninoff Etudes Tableaux op 33 and op 39 3. Mephisto Waltz (rewatch but with either Nicolas Economou or Alexei Sultanov playing, previously you listened to Traum play it)

Shostakovich always takes you on a ride - a roller coaster and always exciting

I am impressed with you my friend. Horowitz met Ascriabin when he was 11 and played for him. The video Horowitz in Moscoe OR Horowitz The last romantic platys two of the best Scriabian. OMG ,Scriabian Etude op 8 no 12 AND Etude C sharp minor op 2 No 1. You be infected by these two pieces.

chopinnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love your reaction and your facial expressions and your smile!

please make brahms double concerto ❤

very beautiful concerto ❤ last movement🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

it helps that dmitry masleev is very handsome too

" oh my goodness " and " what is going on ? " says it all, eh ?

Anyone else know this song from "Fantasia"?

Prokofiev is such a unique composer. His music is dissonant and complex, yet he's capable of writing such beautiful melodies, which sound so thrilling when you hear them standing out after the chaos.

Masleev is great 👍

Never heard of this before,.wauw,…. A little Gershwin like! I love this,…thnx Gidi!

Thanks!

This piece was and is considered by many classical composers as the greatest single violin piece in Western music. But I'm afraid it loses something on the piano. Listen to it by Hilary Hahn on the violin. Also note that this piece is a series of variations on the theme stated at the beginning. So if you keep that theme in your mind as the piece progresses, and hear Bach's amazing variations of that theme, you will begin to understand the genius of Bach.

*OMG CLASSICAL MUSIC IS SO CALMING AND SLOW!!11!*

I decided to play Mahler's 2 while high. Best decision ever.

We need a Petrouchka by Stravinsky reaction (Both the original orchestral and the piano arrangement)

One more thing. Check out 27:12. Every other pianist does a glissando (swiping fingernails across the board). But what's actually written (and what Argerich actually plays) is a fucking scale where each finger plays two notes at once all the way up and back down. Oh and with blistering speed and absurd accuracy. Name another pianist that does this!

We need a Petrouchka by Stavinsky Reaction (The orchestral one not the piano arrangement)

Мне все никак не может понравиться Прокофьев, а конкретно его номерные произведения для фортепиано. Будто бы сборники упражнений на технику и слух, в сравнении с, например, Скрябиным, Рахманиновым и Равелем, у которых музыка всегда звучит цельно. В оркестровой форме, достигаемая Прокофьевым "сумятица" имеет больше смысла.

Thanks so much for this! One of my all time favorites to listen to over and over. I also love the conductor here, Andre Previn. I grew up idolizing him...he also plays piano and composes. One of the things I admire most about Argerich is that no matter how hard the music, she never seems stressed at all, her hands are always so loose and relaxed. Fun fact: I heard that she never practices scales or exercises...she says they're of no help in performing and solve no problems.

happy birthday and thx for the videooo!

Okay, this is the version everyone's been shouting at you to review for years. Here is a performance where all the stars line up--best orchestra, best soloist (in her prime), best conductor (in his prime), playing one of the best pieces by one of the best composers (when he was in his prime).

Bravo.

This is the third time we're reacting to this concerto. Nice. 🙂

Could you react to Stravinsky firebird? It's like rite of spring but more chill and happy, and personally I love happy Stravinsky

Final seconds literally seem like she has about 8 fingers on her right hand. 😁
