God, those were the days. Early 1970s, Schumann on the program, Kempff at the piano, Kubelik conducting the Bavarian Broadcast Orchestra, Kurt-Christian Stier as concertmaster, the Herkulessaal in Munich (an easy 30-min. drive from Kempff's home at the Starnberger See) filled with an audience that knew its stuff. All of these people shared a tradition and understood this music. Of course Kempff was the greatest artist in the hall, but the entire environment was conducive to his musicmaking. And that's how we get this unique document.
This video recording is one of the greatest treasures in Classical Music history.
A treasure indeed. Players like Kempff come along
once in a lifetime.
@@JOHN-tk6vl the golden age of pianism is gone forever . The performers today match this. All the performers were special their own way. All true heroic artists. We gave tremendous techniques today but no artistry. No soul.
@@paulcapaccio9905 so is it paul, no horowitz, rubinstein, fischer, kempff, a. other now
@@fritzk6435 horowitz is no match.
You can find Kempff playing a song and Horowitz playing the same song. Horowitz is no match. Sorry.
Sure, he can play the piano. But not at the same level as mr Kempff.
In my opinion.
@@paulcapaccio9905 Wibi Soerjadi.
A dutch guy (somewhat).
Plays the piano as well.
You might wanna listen to some of his covers and originals. Perhaps you might reconsider your opinion on today's performers.
Because there still are those who do try their best. And in my opjnion Wibi is one of those who does put all of his feeling into the performance.
Pls check him out and tell me i am wrong....
ウィルヘルム ケンプさんの演奏でシューマンのピアノ協奏曲イ短調op54を聴いています。ピアノの音が鮮明でさらにダイナミックな演奏にとても感動しています。ピアノの音が鮮明でひとつひとつ音がくっきりと表現されています。ピアノがオーケストラの前面で輝いています。とても堪能しました。ありがとうごさいます。映像が少し甘い感じがしました。現代のAI技術で現代によみがえるとありがたいと思います。音は最高です。ありがとうございます。
Absolute beauty and mastery from two great musicians and a great orchestra.
Grand Respect ! Il m'arrive de faire des commentaires élogieux sur d'autres pianistes à l'occasion mais le Maître c'est lui ! ❤️
Dear God what a sound...the perfect balance between him and the orchestra...the timbre of sound; this is heaven.
Einer der grössten Pianisten aller Zeiten. Interpretation mustergültig, Schumann at his best !
I was at a concert in Birmingham Town Hall (UK) in the early 1970's when Wilhelm Kempff played this concerto. I remember his clarity of tone in the slow central section of the first movement, his measured pace at the start of the second movement, and some brilliant playing in the finale. If I could re-live some of the days of my life I would want to experience that day again.
You are very lucky! Kempff is my favourite pianist - he died just before I was born but thanks to technology we can still enjoy his playing today.. it is good that no longer will the great performers of the past ever go unheard and unshared with future generations again.
Amen.
You are so lucky ... It would have been a dream come true to me. I am glad you had the chance to do that and I wish you the best ❤
@@JT29501 My only regret is that he didn't record the complete Well Tempered Clavier rather than just the excerpts.
Bonheur matinal que ce splendide concerto! Je regarde avec émotion et admiration les belles mains et les longs doigts marqués par les années ......Quel merveilleux pianiste et quel sentiment de paix , de joie d'être et de pouvoir connaître une telle plénitude !....
Wow His smile at the end...such a warm smile, I've never seen him smile before!! This performance was wondering, simplicity is sometimes the best way!
¡Qué regalo del cielo fue este hombre! Gracias.
kempff a toujours ete mon pianiste prefere : elegance à chaque note , respiration et grandeur
Мой любимый концерт.Заканчивала консерваторию этим коецертом
nur eines, dies ist aber umso schöner, man sagt "wer einmal die liebe zu dem stück erworben hat, wird sie niemals verlieren". bei mir ist es so. bin 72 jahre alt und habe es zum ersten mal als kind gehört. Bis heute liebe ich es ganz besonders.
Firmly grounded that propells the music through as it should be. Impeccable phrasing and articulation. A real master from yesteryear.
His playing along with the orchestra is sublime..
He plays absolutely beautifully
23:09 ... love this...
A true collaboration between piano and orchestra, each of which stands as a separate individual. Yet, the piano shines whenever it should be without overshadowing the orchestra.
One of the finest pianists ever - his Schubert recordings and the Beethoven Sonatas are among the finest recordings ever. And his collaboration with the great Yehudi Menuhin of the Violin sonatas by Beethoven are ageless.
Kempff is/was for me an unrivalled genius when it comes to romantic/lyrical music. I have always loved this concerto and have heard it many times but when I heard Kempff play it, it was like hearing it for the first time all over again.
Kempff was the greatest piano player to walk the earth.
This playing if the first movement is definitely affettuoso....e ..grazioso...thus t r u e Schumann....today mostly martial and crudely played alas😢.....however I am privileged to have heard Kempff also in his New Yotk recital....With Gieseking, Cortot, Hess and Novaes the other superb Schumann interpreters, three of whom I was fortunate to have live experienced.😊😅
Замечательный пианист!!!
So much class and sincerity! Brings out the magic of the piece
There's good and there's great. This performance is superb! The voicing is terrific.
Da kann ich Ihnen nur zustimmen. Romantische Klaviermusik in Vollendung und wunderbare Künstler. Ich bin begeistert von Wilhelm Kempff.
Beautiful, magnifique. Kempff is unrivalled.
The best pianist ever.
In 1970 I was a 15 yr old falling in love with Beethoven piano sonatas. I came across the most wonderful recordings of them on Deutsche Grammophon by Wilhelm Kempff. I listened to them for hours and loved his lyrical playing. To think one day I would see videos of him playing. His Schumann is great too. Thanks.
Was it the Time Life bI-Centenary Edition released on DGG, as with me.
so full of grace, patrician , noble playing
what a treasure to have this!
my god! it is a privilege to see Kempff!
28:41 ... Wonderful :D
The best pianist ever to walk the earth.
@@JOHN-tk6vl agreed
Ich genieße an dieser Interpretation nicht nur Wilhelm Kempffs wunderbares Spiel, seine Mimik und Körpersprache, sondern auch sein ständiges Zwiegespräch mit einzelnen Instrumenten des Orchesters, was natürlich von Schumann so konzipiert war. Wenn Kempff mit Oboe, Klarinette oder anderen Zwiesprache hält, schaut er die betreffenden Musiker auch an. Was auch ein Hochgenss ist: Musikalisch-thematisch dominiert keineswegs immer das Klavier. Oft begleitet er mit perlenden Figuren das Orchester, wenn dieses das Thema aufgreift.
Was ich bei Kempf auch sehr liebe, ist sein oft fast entrückter Gesichtsausdruck.
Danke fürs Hochladen dieses Schatzes, der inzwischen 46 Jahre alt ist.
Yes, he indicates to wind soloists precisely when to enter.
That dear old man! I can tell at the end he was pleased with his accomplishment -- as well he should have been. The Allegro vivace may seem a little sedate to our modern jet-propelled ears, but to me it was a great treat to hear this music played so thoughtfully, with such deliberation and with great attention to detail. When it comes to speed my advice to young contest winners would be, "Just because you CAN does not mean you SHOULD."
Yes, speed is not everything. Love to hear Mr. Kempff play Schumann's Concerto. I can hear every notes he play. Not in a hurry. I'm very lucky to hear this.
Hyramess Hiramess well said! The emotion and meaning for the movement is the most important key to me. If some play really fast,they might have lost the essense of music
yeah, i can just imagine how a virtuoso like Yuja Wang would destroy this piece, all pyrotechnics and noise, zero sensitivity, phrasing, voicing, thought. K's forte is always controlled, he does not bang, though there are moments to bang, they are far less than they appear, its a cheap, drug like thrill. his readings are always thoughtful, musical, and with the tenderness of an angel longing for earth.
besides that, speed is easier than colorful and controlled performances.
Hyramess Hiramess :👏👏👏👏👏
One of the best interpretations, nice and slow
kempff played this at just the right tempo.
I don't know why, but many pianists today play this as though
they have a train to catch. It certainly isn't what Schumann asked for.
I couldn't agree more. Tempo is perfect.
The aristocrat of the piano. His Bach is timeless.
So beautifully played by Kempff.
I clicked on this performance mainly out of curiosity . This is one of my favorite piano concertos. I have watched and listened to many other artists on TH-cam and thought I had picked out my favorite. I thought I would check this out even though it was an old video. With in the first minute I was mesmerized and listened to the whole concerto (out of respect for Mr. Schumann and Mr. Kempff). I heard things I have never heard before. Such clarity and insight in to the music. Well, I now have a new favorite.
You have a great ear and excellent taste. Kempff's playing is unspectacular, yet we hear true greatness.
I love this tempo.
Summum de l'émotion musicale... La partition, Wilhelm Kempff, les merveilleux instrumentistes, l'union parfaite avec le chef..Il ne manque que la présence réelle et la communion avec les spectateurs... Merci !
Legendary! ! !
Всегда любил мелодии в миноре. А в исполнении Вильгельма Кемпфа - особенно!
i must be wearing groove into this wonderful recording,cant stop listening to it,thank god.
Wonderful!
Love the way Wilhelm does not look at the keyboard, almost appearing to be blind.
Bach used to say to his organ scholars "Why are you looking down at the
pedals? They are exlacly where they were yesterday!"

こんな貴重な動画がUPされているとは夢にも思っておりませんでした。ウイルヘルム・ケンプは1954年（昭和29年）来日し各地で演奏会を開いておりましたがこの年の秋洞爺丸台風で多くの犠牲者が出たのでです。彼は札幌公演のアンコールに犠牲者の追悼に悲愴ソナタの第2楽章を演奏しました。この動画を見ているうちにまるでつい最近の出来事のように思い出されました。終止音が会場に吸い込まれていったステージに祈るように瞼を閉じているケンプの姿と静寂を。
Robert Schumann I've eared him for more than 50 years, if I loved his music now I adore it! It's Schumann to the second.Wunderschöne performance. Mario
Yeah, Kempff is wonderul. I heard him do Schubert Fantasy-Sonata in Paris...electrifyiing...the silence, the colors, the transcendental meditation.....even the Parisians "got it."
Sublime ! I'm speechless. Just a priceless legacy for the next generations to come.
Изумительный концерт.

Grande el maestro Kempff.
Kempff, my favourite. fantastic
Wonderful Schumann Artistry
ВОЛНУЮЩАЯ ПРЕКРАСНАЯ МУЗЫКА. ОТЛИЧНОЕ ИСПОЛНЕНИЕ!
And the 2nd movement....so subtly flowing....a wonder😊
I like how he plays without seeing, wondering in amazement! Love it!
Чудесный концерт и очень профессиональный исполнитель...сама учу этот концерт!надеюсь успешно его сдать!можно многому научиться на этом видео!!!
Esta grabación debe corresponderse con el registro de DG de 1973, por lo que Kempff nacido en 1895 ( mismo año que otro fenómeno,Walter Gieseking). Pianismo romántico, con esa hilazón de notas, donde la nota parece no desaparecer sino durar en la siguiente y, además sin dejar de acentuar en el mismo momento, hacen de Kempff uno de esos pianistas únicos. Aquí con el egregio maestro kubelik acompañándoose el uno al otro, recreándose en Schumann... los dos eran compositores.
I love the tempo of the last movement!
Before music became " business"...and performing became " sport "😮
Meraviglioso Kempfff!!!!
NOBILISSIMO SIGNORE DEL PIANOFORTE!!!
Second time, and I enjoyed it even better! Thank you
The czech conductor Rafael Kubelík !
And the equally splendid Symphony Orchestra of the Bavarian Broadcasting Corporation!
Kempf's phrasings and pedaling in this music, while a bit unorthodox to me, actually makes sense. Certain passages normally played legato by most pianists, he renders staccato and no pedal the effect of which gives out a sense of distinct interpretation. Quite extraordinary if I may. It's mostly evident in the cadenza.
a great master of the keyboard, and the finest performance of this work that I've ever heard. TY. Kempff himself wrote some piano pieces, including a sonata; once recorded, but I don't know if it's still available
Amazing: so plain, so touching.
How much like music this sounds, when not raced through at tempi faster than the speed of sound. Quite a refreshing antedote to the insane and unlistenable Allegro Aggressivo of the immensely talented, but musically somewhat wayward Khatia. Buniatishvilli.
Wunderbar!..Danke ,danke schön!
willie must be in his eighties here it's a touch slow with some finger fumbles yet at this tempo schumanns pastoral beauty plays out wonderfully.
Indeed! Munich, 1977.
Impeccable!
Really magnificent
I have the DG recording of the same artists- didn’t know there was a video! Kempff always my go-to.
I wrote all comments. For me they tell more about the listeners than about the (wonderful) video.
Master !!
Wilhelm am Klavier +
Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks
Leitung: Rafael Kubelik
I absolutely love the change of voicing at 2:25 i really admire the deft control Kempff has over his instrument.
To an obvious extent very giving and selfless in [his] interactions with the orchestral players... 3:58 ... lovey interaction, communicative, encouraging, commanding and mutually beneficial. The allegro vivace 21:52 is both inspiring and magnificent... 23:08 ... so wonderful to see a true musician displaying humility and joyful reverence in the presence of Schumann's compositional genius. One often despairs at the theatrics displayed by lesser, banal talents. Kempff 33:38 is an extraordinary human-being.
Agreed :D
@@TheWiseMonkey8888 I totally agree with you. It is almost as if you have read my mind
Perfect!
Çox gözəl!
Genuine good acting. It will be what a rich music!
ale-mal
Этот концерт в моем табеле о рангах, стоит на одном из первых мест, по крайней мере он входит в первую пятерку.
I don't love this concerto enough to be able to judge but he certainly is not into gimmicks!
Kempff's Schumann concerto has the thick and depth of beethoven feel. The dark exposure is well expressed. One of the best version.
Seriously! Bionic hands!!
Nice ;)
Wilhelm Kempff 1977 Schumann PC in A minor Op.54, Rafael Kubelik, Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks; 1977 Herkulessaal, Münchnen
3rd movement begins at 21:32.
I'm here for my weekly like
9:00 just bring me back to middle school.
Einfach ausgezeichnet! Ich mag das Spiel von Wilhelm Kempff. Er war immer ernst und selbstbeherrscht. Aber trotzdem es gelang ihm immer die Tiefe des Stückes zu übergeben. Ich möchte gern das Video des 24en Konzert von Mozart finden, wo dieses Konzert von W. Kempff gespielt wurde. Ich bin aber nicht sicher, ob es solche Aufnahme gibt.
The conductor is Raphael Kubilik.
Can anyone tell me what album or CD this recording is on? It is tremendous!
super, danke
Un verdadero artista:atención las Yuyas,y demás animales de corral.
A great Schumann interpreter. And he wasn't chopped liver either in everything else. For example, his first set of the LvB piano concertos. Eternal stuff.
Спасибо.
Zeitgeist…
Wilehlm der Große ! Großartig !!
Wer ist der Dirigent ? Rafael Kubelik ?
Ja es ist Rafael Kubelik.
I have always considered him the understated maestro. When playing Schubert, it could be the composer playing to his friends. In Beethoven he has no equals, in my opinion: unless it be Claudio Arrau.
There is a small mistake. The tuning is not A mayor, but a minor, a moll.
KEMPFF EINER DER GROSSTEN
Nr. 1? Wie viele Klavierkonzerte hat Schumann geschrieben?
Kubelik and the BRSO?
Classical style without interpretive showing off.
Didn’t think about it until I read this comment. Shit you’re right. Thank you for pointing this out to me.
