Bravo!! Such a lovely piece. When Mozart was visiting Augsburg, he was impressed by Stein fortepianos and shared this in a letter to his father. On 22 October 1777, Mozart premiered this concero on instruments provided by Stein. The Augsburg Cathedral organist Demmler was playing the first, Mozart the second and Stein the third part. Can you imagine??!
@thenewtitanic Yes, but he was undoubtedly one of the greatest conductors in history, and probably the greatest operatic conductor as well (along with Sir Colin Davis).
One of the loveliest Mozart concertos, a meeting of 3 very great master pianists!! And G.Solti conducting as well as playing! And the biggest, the author, not present, Mozart!! Very special, historic video!!. Thank you!💕🎈
I mean God, Its almost Too good to watch! For me Danial Barenboim has always been THE touch, but here with two other MASTERS. I doubt there is a musician present who isnt of gold medal quality. Such an experience for the mind as the ears pick up on every flawless note.
The concerto, nicknamed "Lodron," was commissioned by Countess Antonia Lodron i 1776 to be played with her two daughters Aloysia and Giuseppa. Mozart also performed it himself, rearranged for two pianos. Pure delight!
No me cansó de escuchar la obra de Motzar , es majestuosa de gran belleza, muestra la limpieza de su alma y se la trasmite a quien la escucha. Doy gracias al universo por conectarme a estos enviados de Dios.
Si,Timoleon Guerrero, este concerto es una maravilla y con los 3 pianistas de primera classe!! Un video historico. El concerto por 2 pianos tambien muy bello, con Emil Gilels y Elena Gilels. Pero este queda por mi el no.1, una maravilla de belleza que eleva el animo, el alma, refresca el espiritu umano. Es inolvidable. Gracias a los maestros, orquestra y todos involucrados de darnos tanta belleza, alegria de alma.
A recording of this Mozart piece was played today at the memorial service for Christine Yard, an old family friend. She was one of the three pianists and her late husband John was conducting when it was performed here in Whangārei, New Zealand.
Beautiful story! I’m sorry about her passing. I played this in New Zealand (Christchurch) with my mom and dad, David James, who is also a New Zealand concert pianist. Wonder if Dad knew her and I’ll ask. Love this Mozart work.
Maravillosa interpretación de esta obra maestra, Dado que es difícil contar con tres pianistas con los correspondientes instrumentos, el propio Mozart escribió una versión para dos pianos. Tengo un excelente CD de ésta, con Murray Perahia y Radu Lupu. Se echa de menos al maestro Solti. Tuve el privilegio de escuchar a la orquesta de Chicago bajo su dirección, en Princeton NJ, años 70
How does it work? Does each piano have it's own music or the pianists decide how to share the playing? Quite intricate I cant differentiate one piano from the other.
This belongs in the label above: The ensemble is the English Chamber Orchestra. Now someone else can provide the date. I get really pissed at incomplete information.
On a passe l âge enfantine qd on aime qqun c'est pr tjrs mon coeur a demain à la shule ❤️❤️💓💞💜💜💙🧡et au repas dîner et donne moi la main je te quitterais l'on coeur 💚💚💙💜💙🛑🛑
Mozart wrote this concerto for a woman and her two daughters (I forget their names or class). Not much to it except a wonderfully _galant_ style flair.
That's not true. Mozart got his first very own piano ( forgot the mark of it ...sometin like...ff at the end) at the age of 13. Till then he was playing of the woman and her two daughters piano. The lady was a duchess.
@@villiestephanov984 She was not a duchess. Countess Maria Antonia Lodron was very influential at the court in Salzburg and was a supporter of Mozart. Your comments about Mozart's piano are wrong. At the age of 13 he embarked on extensive tours with his father and would not have needed his own piano. At home he was happy to use the family piano. There is no evidence that he played with the Countess or her daughters. Why are you making all this stuff up when we know exactly the origin of the Lodron Concerto?
I am willing to accept it as stupid if you can say what is the point of the third piano when it, at most, seems to double the other piano part(s) - I'd really like to know, if you can explain in calm language, thanks.
I will give what I think is the answer, though I can't know for sure without bringing Mozart back from the grave and asking him. There's a solid chance that it's purely for marketing purposes: "triple concerto" sounds impressive and would draw a crowd. It's also possible Mozart commissioned two pianists by accident and added in a third part to avoid the drama... he was a ridiculously fast writer. The difference between two or three pianos against an orchestra may seem subtle, but no less so than choosing to write for a wind octet instead of a wind septet. But also, Mozart's klavinets had 61 keys, which is a 5 octave range. So if you imagine three players all playing within an octave or two, all in different registers, there wouldn't be too much overlap... allowing use of the entire keyboard at once, which one (or maybe even two) pianists could not achieve. It allows for very dense and complex polyphonic textures (check out Mozart's pieces for two pianos to see what I mean). It also allows for things like extremely rapid thirds and sixths, which are technically very difficult for one pianist. Finally, I think he just liked trying new things, being bold and testing boundaries. But as I said, unless there is written evidence as to why Mozart chose this orchestration, this is all speculation. Hope that helps.
a lot of what you say here is assuming that the 3 pianos have independent parts - my point was that the 3rd piano ISN'T independent, it seems merely to double existing music. The one point that could be valid is the idea about creating a louder sound, but I doubt this was in Mozart's mind, seeing as one piano on its own was normally enough for him to get the amount of sound he wanted. Thanks for the response :) peace
@@eliasgc49 You are a gentleman and a scholar, Mr. Chew. Thank you for your answer. I am not a musician but I am endlessly fascinated with everything Mozart. And, truth be told, more than a few other composers. I owe that to an early start (for a non-musician) -- I grew up in a home where there were classical music recordings and that was the beginning of a lifelong fascination. There is always something new to learn.
@@eliasgc49 Salve Elias! Volevo precisare che Sir George Solti è stato un grande direttore d'orchestra. Tanti anni fa ha avuto un programma televisivo in cui spiegava il funzionamento dell'orchestra e di vari strumenti. Allora non sapevo che fosse anche un grande pianista. Questo concerto è davvero meraviglioso 🤣💕🌈🎸
A couple questions. #1 Why does the guy on the far left have his own _Page Turning Bitch?_ #2 Why does the guy on the far left keep turning pages while the other two dudes playing Pianer' (the ones without their own personal page turning bitch,) don't change pages. What gives? Anybody? Hey---thanks for posting this!
Hi, Solti (far left) is also conducting. So I guess he has the Full/Orchestral/Conductor's Score providing notation for all of the instruments. Meaning he has like 2 lines/page. Whereas the other two pianists have only their part in their score, so have much more lines on a page, meaning much less page turns.
As gykajan said, Solti has the full orchestral score, which means he would have to turn pages every 10-20 seconds (you can see how often a page turn is necessary from 4:09). For a conductor this is no problem, as generally he will be able to free up a hand for the page turn, but for Solti to turn pages this often while playing the piano ist basically impossible. That is why he has a pageturner. The solo instrument sheet music for ensemble music (e.g. the sheets that Barenboim and Schiff are likely reading) is often formatted, if possible, so that page turns occur during rests (you can see Barenboim turning the page during the orchestral tutti at 3:50 for instance). For this reason, Barenboim and Schiff likely don't need a pageturner. However, with solo works (e.g. piano sonatas), since there are seldom moments of complete silence, turning the pages can become a problem again, which is why soloists who chose to perform with sheet music (like Sviatoslav Richter in his later years) might employ a pageturner for their recitals. Regards
To: dhy5342 It is not Andras waiving his hands; It is Solti pretending to be the conductor. So useless, with such wonderful musicians, who need no conductor. But you're right: I can't watch the guy either. He's kind of ruining it... Still, a great performance. Mozart was a genius.
By the arrogance of your comment I can tell that you’re not a musician yourself, or you don’t know how orchestras work. Otherwise you would know that an ensemble with numerous people playing ALWAYS need a conductor. it’s not a written rule, but it’s the tradition and the conductor has a fundamental role for the players. Furthermore I don’t see how he is possibly ruining the concert. I suggest you to listen to the concert on Spotify, so you won’t see anything ;)
Mozart music sometimes reminds me of having intercourse with one's own wife/husband. You know it is going to be pleasant and you will get safely where you want to. That is why you still want to do it again. Nevertheless, there will hardly be something to surprise you when you heard/did so many similar things before. Sometimes I just need something like War Anthem by Max Richter or Tribute to Caesar by Arvo Part. Do not tell my wife, please.
Er, that's Solti, not Schiff. He's waving his hands around cos it's his band and he's conducting it, and he's reading a full score, not a piano reduction, and he's the boss so he has flunkies and lackeys. Goes with the territory.
Tre grandi pianisti per questo meraviglioso concerto che non conoscevo. Ricordo le memorabili lezioni di musica di sir George Solti trasmesse tanti anni fa sul canale Telepiu. Mi piace capire e apprendere sempre di più, anche alla mia tenera età (76) e spero di poter godere ancora di tanta bellezza!!!
