    I do not know what to say. words are insufficient. Can humanity create a better composition than this in the future? I do not know. But I know this: this work is an extraordinary, magnificent work. the orchestra almost revived Beethoven... he lifted him to his feet. I congratulate dear Alina and the members of the orchestra for presenting this magnificent musical feast to us... congratulations

    What a thrilling performance. Those young musicians in the orchestra are just killing it. At around 2:00 Nicolas Pasquet turns to Alina Bercu and gives her a big smile, which she returns - they both know the orchestra is going over the moon on this occasion. Not to take anything away from Bercu, she is simply amazing.

    Diese Interpretation gehört zu den besten, die ich je gehört habe, und ich kenne dieses Werk jetzt über 50 Jahre. Frau Bercu ist eine exorbitante Künstlerin, allein ihre Haltung fasziniert schon. Ich konnte mich nach den ersten Akkorden nicht mehr trennen, und ich wurde nicht enttäuscht. Dieser Anschlag, diese beseelten lyrischen Passagen, in den schnellen kein Verwischen mit dem Pedal, die deutlichen Figuren auch in der Linken, die Ausleitung aus der Kadenz im 1. Satz und der Übergang zum 3., alles läuft so leicht aus den Fingern. Man beachte nur einmal die Repetition des 5. Fingers der re. Hand! Unglaublich gut. Aber auch das Orchester ist hervorragend, und der Dirigent ein großer Orchesterezieher und Interpret. Hochachtung vor den jungen Musikern!

      First time I listen to this pianist and I must admit she 's an excellent performer. Flawless technique and perfect timing , phrasing and great musicality. I wonder why I have never heard of her before. Comparing with others is always difficult but she 's in the same category as Ott, Grimaud, Argerich and a few others. My personal favourites are Scheps ( for her Chopin interpretations) Buniatishvili (Rachmaninov) and of course Yuja Wang (She's from another planet). Male performers Trifonov, Kissin and Andsnes.

Sehr schön zu sehen und zu hören die Klänge von Beethovens 5. Klavierkonzert, dargeboten von einem jugendlichen Orchester, ich bin begeistert. Es gibt immer Unterschiede bei den Künstlern, sie hat mich voll ergriffen mit ihrer Spielweise, Interpretation von einem Werk was mir ohnehin schon feuchte Augen macht. Vielen herzlichen Dank.

      Yes, he grows on you. The complexity of his music can be hard to digest on first listen, but with repeated listens you hear the structure. And you hear the greatness.

    • @johnvanalstine9645
      @johnvanalstine9645 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      One method of listening to Beethoven that really helped me is to listen to the last two or so minutes of a movement FIRST. Then as you get to enjoy the way the movement ends, work your way BACK toward the beginning. It helps you see how he got to where he was going. Maybe weird but it works for me.
      I think the Beethoven work that this method really helped me with the most was his massive Missa Solemnis. The movements are so complex with so many themes, first digesting the ends of the movements helped me listen to it in enjoyable slices until I was ready for the whole.

      ​@@johnvanalstine9645 I love this idea. I haven't listened to Beethoven this way (in reverse) although I have noticed how the ending of his pieces do sum up the the variety of emotions expressed throughout them. I am particularly moved by those pieces that fade away with gentle grace. The second movement of this concerto is a perfect example which I'll hit on after this: For me the most amazing piece of orchestral music is the 4th movement of his 9th symphony for the way it celebrates the experience of human life with all its happiness, sadness and joy while asserting that despite pain, tragedy and fear, human life itself is grand and beautiful.
      A couple of months ago I commented specifically on this concerto (and of course the amazing performance of Alina Bercu and this orchestra) but I want to express again what the second movement says to me since it also is composed as an emotional story ending in a summation. This movement speaks to me of his personal pain remembering a lost love. The movement begins with the intense sadness and heartbreak of the loss, flowing in to anger, followed by the understanding that he will find the strength to continue on, ending with that understanding mixed with "but... the pain will still remain; it will never go away."
      The movement kills me each and every time I hear it. This particular performance takes my reaction and flow of tears to a whole new level!
      Thank you Alina Bercu, Thank you University of Music FRANZ LISZT Weimar, and Thank you Beethoven!

    So very well played Miss. Bercu.

Your style and grace enhance your performance and are so appreciated in this modern age of beating the piano into submission. Thank you for sharing your efforts with us.
    The orchestra was very well practiced and led by Mr. Pasquet. There was no lag or push in their play, like a well made mechanical watch, all parts worked together to produce a work much greater in grandeur than their individual parts. The far chair oboist was perfection in her timing and power, a key player in the LvB Piano #5.
