- Yo-Yo Ma urges Leon Fleisher to play an excerpt from the Brahms Piano Concerto No. 1 to demonstrate rhythmic freedom within a measure of music. carnegiehall.org/workshops
Renowned pianist, conductor, and teacher Leon Fleisher led 16 young musicians in a weeklong exploration of the chamber music of Johannes Brahms for piano trio, piano quartet, and piano quintet May 3 -- 9, 2010. Mr. Fleisher was joined by special guest faculty cellist Yo-Yo Ma and violinist Pamela Frank providing a rare opportunity to see three masters coaching and playing together.
The workshop culminated in two performances in Weill Recital Hall on Saturday, May 8 and Sunday, May 9, 2010 featuring the Vox Piano Trio, The Jasper String Quartet with pianist Kyung Wha Chu, The Amici Piano Quartet, and the Hill Piano Quartet. - เพลง

As soon as he began to play, I lost it . . .
Fleisher's recording of the Brahms D Minor with Szell and the Cleveland is the greatest concerto recording I know. I had it on vinyl in the late 60's, and listened to it so many times I just about wore it out. So moving to hear him play that excerpt many years later, after so much had happened. Rest in Peace, Leon Fleisher.
This Brahms OP15 was also my favourite piece I listened to it continuously.The second theme brings me tears-wether in F or in D.
Fleisher's recording of the Brahms d minor concerto will remain one of the reference recordings forever along with those of Serkin, Gilels and Gelber. His performance of the 3rd movement is frightening powerful.
Leon Fleisher was an absolute master of time and feeling.
Leon was 85 years old here. Sweet little segment.
We appreciate your comment. Thanks for listening!
1:38 miraculous magical sound...two invisible saints...brahms and fleisher
I remember in the 90's at Peabody, Fleisher had many masterclass and the sound he made was just totally different from any of the students. So powerful and focused, that might be the reason he injured his hand.
Just feel it and see where it takes you. As you think more, you’ll know what comes next. Thank you, Mr. Fleisher, for the memory of just playing from memory from before you lost use of your right hand. He lived long enough to have it come back somewhat, and we are all the better for it. Now I know that in the Workd to Come there will be no more broken bones.
RIP Leon
Thank you!; what a treasure, a magnificent document, historical video!
Saw him in person playing Ravel Left Hand concerto. Fabulous. Great gathering here.
phenomenal series thank you.
Really nice. That recording is still a classic (in an enormously competitive field), and it is great to hear him here.
I got his signature on my 1970s LP of his recording....
Leon is still remarkable genius to remember this from years ago after years of being unable to use his right hand. It brought tears to my eyes!
God I love Brahms
RIP 😓
Leon Fleisher's is the best performance of Brahms 1st piano concerto in D minor
Certainly one of the best - I also like Curzon, also with Szell.
Missing him 😔
こんなに心暖まる映像があったんですね。素晴らしい❗🙆😅😅🎶
Can u imagine walking around and just being able to play any Beeth,Chopin,Brahms,sonata , variation ,concerto thousands of pages of music . He was famous for the d minor concerto . And the earlier you learn this music - it really is always there . Did he record the huge gorgeous no.2 also I wonder ?
Yes, he did. With George Szell as well well. It's wonderful.
The music within is not only in the muscle memory.
WOW!
I am so glad Yo-Yo Ma asked him to go on after 2:18, you just can't stop there !
I can - I can't bear Brahms...
Last Part Of John 8:11 his orchestral, ensemble and chamber music is slightly better than his solo piano work. There is something awkward and unnatural in his solo work (with the exception of the three Intermezzi Op. 117).
@@e.hutchence-composer8203 thanks for that. what instrument do you play?
@@militaryandemergencyservic3286 I play the piano. I think I know what you mean about Brahms though.
@@e.hutchence-composer8203 oh cool. How long have you been playing? Where did you study?
Interesting . Great to see Yoyo Ma so young!
This is just from 10 years ago.
@@howard5992 Ha ha! My viewpoint is not that of a 20 year old. I am at the opposite end ...
@@frogmouth I get it. Plus Yoyo does look young here (he looks well rested).
I first saw him perform when I was 19 and he was 21. So that tells you something about time !
Rip 😭💔
Good final comment about freedom
For me, as Fleisher began to play, I heard a cosmic connection between this music and the life of all of us, a connection from Brahms soul and the moment that soul connected to Fleisher's fingers and then connected to the Leon Fleisher's life, and then to us all. There was humor, humanity, tragedy and triumph: a beautiful experience--even on TH-cam!

Leon Fleisher was a world-class pianist and teacher. Thanks for visiting our channel.
O.M.G. I welled up
I thought he studied with Taubman but his pinky is curling something fierce!
Jennifer B. Focal dystonia and arthritis
@@bsmusicd Yes, my point is that the Taubman Technique purports to prevent injuries like that.
It's not quite the whole story, however. Fleisher studied with Mrs. Taunman one-on-one and credits her with saving his right hand. But it wouldn't be accurate to say he was retrained in the Taubman approach. Rolfing, Feldenkrais, and botox shots were also part of his (partial) recovery.
To her credit, I know several pianists who have fully recovered from FD. But they studied the Taubman approach for a far more significant period of time and went through full retraining.
And not one of the students opened their Le Bon Pain box lunches during this...
4:07 - She seems puzzled, like she never realized that you can be free when playing Brahms. I wonder why she looks so confused?
That's Fleisher playing, but Glenn Gould is providing the vocal accompaniment ....
Leon Fleisher was my former psychologist's uncle..
I need help, would anyone be kind enough to help me? I'm quite desperate ...
I am 18 years old and I have been suffering from a pseudo-tendonitis for a year now, I have done several tests, I have been seen by several doctors but they have not drawn conclusions. Is there anyone who has had experiences with tendinitis? Please.
Which part of your hand/arm are you suffering with?
Actually this pianist could only play with his left hand but studied the Taubman approach to piano technique and can play again.
@@j.brandon7402 His rehabilitation was "Rolfing" which is an intense massage technique, and injections of botox.
@@chuckwagnermusic He did both. It's not one or the other. One helps get rid of pain, the other how not to exacerbate it and also to not repeat it.
@@j.brandon7402 I saw that he wrote her a brief endorsement, and I also saw that she would not discuss him when asked.
No comment. Freedom the piano should always be played Spontaneously free when one can play. Sadly it's obvious how tight his hands and how unnatural they look placing the fingers. Tendinitis is because of forcing instead of understanding the movement needed to play freely and effortlessly as any piece even the most demanding should always be played of course following what the has sought out for you already.
I don't understand your comment. I only would if you did not know what happened to him.
A pointless musical exercise.
Speaking for yourself, only.
Try playing these intervals in exact time and it will sound like crap. This absolutely had a point.
Laughably bad.
