My family can't even co-ordinate a whatsapp video call
🤣
Lol

🤣😂🤣😂
How sad. 😓
I definitely prefer watching this type of family show than the Kardashian’s
Un simple like es muy poco para aplaudir lo que ud dice. Deberia haber un icono de corazon o similar
Me too
I couldn’t agree more strongly! Stunning cadenza!
I agree
Totally agreee!!!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰
How is it possible to have the whole family play at this level ?????? I am literally shocked. I am scared in a good way
They practice 40 hours a day (Twosetviolin humour)
starting from birth to there so that it becomes a normal thing to practice, also a good amount of talent.
I think they are awsome.
This is how it used to be for the average middleclass family in 19th century europe.
After all making music yourself at this level at home was the only way to go in the absence of record and playback devices.
I went to school with siblings of a similar Musical family as the Masons.
Unicorns, sadly.
We acquire most of our habits by imitation. If the people we spend most of our days with do it, we are likely to do it too.
@@daviydviljoen9318 Living the LingLing life XD
I bet the neighbors NEVER complain about the loud music at their house!
haha so true!
Lucky neighbors! 😁
If I were a neighbor I would ask them to open the windows and please play louder!
Playing or practice a piece is a very different experience. I find myself annoying when repeating parts forever
so true XD
Laura Kimmick do you Play an Instrument? Cause the practicing process is very annoying to listen to, even with professionals. You’ll end up hearing the same part over and over
I would sooner pay money to see a concerto performed at this level in a small settings for one player per part than for a full orchestra. This is absolutely stunning. Just the musical coordination alone is breathtaking! This is better than many quartet performances I've been to.
Gavin Farkas me too
I agree! They are such a talented family. With regards to musical coordination, they've been playing together for most of their lives, so it just becomes second nature - you pick up on each other's cues without even having to look at each other, so it will always be easier than playing with a group of people you've known for 5/10 years 🙂
Came here randomly and was spellbound for all 17 minutes. Fantastic.
Stunning!! Wow!! This just dropped from heaven. Thanks to this family, and YT. Her performance is exhilarating!
Exactly! You describe it perfectly. I also stumbled upon it and couldn't get my eyes off of it for a scond.
It actually works really well as a chamber ensemble piece.
All those missing parts. Impressive but at it’s an orchestral piece not a chamber work. My ears kept listening for all the missing voices of the orchestral instruments. And the missing tympani parts.
Yes - very nicely!
Yes and no ... Maybe because I'm familiar with the original I miss the wind. But bowled over by this beautiful family whenever I watch or listen to anything of theirs - even playing monopoly!😄
Graham Palmer, yes, they're irreplaceable for optimum Beethoven. My mind managed to put some in, but not the timpani - this time round!
I've heard of musical families but this is insane! These guys are fantastic. How wonderful it must be to grow up in a family like this!
this!
Had COVID-19 not forced the cancellation of the concert, we would not have had the pleasure of this incredible performance. So thank for the music. What special and loving parents you must have. 💙💚
David Herman So true!!!!
And did you know the parents are NOT musical?
yes - thank you
@@eleanordixon9678 Actually, both parents have Grade 8 Piano in their armouries! And Ms Kanneh was the initial piano teacher for at least some of them, I believe.
Eleanor Dixon both parents played musical instruments as kids
I live in Bonn, where Beethoven was born and therewith miss a lot of events regarding the Beethoven-year. 😣 This is sooo fantastic in celebration of him. BRAVI!
Hallo Nachbar/in.
Gelobet und gedankt sei LvB!
Lebe ebenfalls in Bonn. Ein facebook-Freund in Ägypten sandte mir dieses erstaunliche Video. Wahrlich herzerfreuend, dieser feurige Enthusiasmus bei ganz jungen Menschen. Von wem mag wohl diese Bearbeitung (Besetzung) für kleines Ensemble stammen? Vielleicht auch von dieser Familie?
@@hans-georgschoelzel1425 Das Arrangement ist von Vinzenz Lachner. Ein Bruder von Franz Lachner.
@@Quotenwagnerianer Vielen Dank für die Aufklärung! Sehr interessant. Also aus der Zeit, in der das häusliche Musizieren bürgerlicher Kreise das Normale bzw. die einzige Möglichkeit war, sich hörend einen Begriff von größer besetzten Werken zu verschaffen. Wie schön, dass solche Arrangements (nach der Epoche von Vinyl-Schallplatten und CDs) auch noch im digitalen 21. Jahrhundert zu Ehren kommen!
What a god given gift this family has well nurtured by wonderful parents bravo
It's not a god-given gift, it's hours and hours and hours of practice and I think they deserve to be praised for their hard work and thanked for sharing the amazing results with us
@@SR009s I don't think that's his point but anyway.
Ma P what they mean is a gift for music, not a gift for instantly knowing how to play like this. A gift for music as opposed to something like painting or something else.
@@map7792 might of took his comment a bit too literal.
True...great job by the parents and wonderful children for obeying.
Who ever the mum and dad are of this lot must be pretty clever, just to recognise and develop the talent that resides within their children, and also to get them to play together and look out for each other as they grew up. Top marks for parenthood . A book is there I’m sure . Thank you, mum and dad.
You can see their mum Kadie Kanneh reflection in the mirror and I believe that she's planning on writing a book about the family this year
I can see her in the mirror😊👍
Que orgullo tener una familia asi !!!!!!
The mother has written a memoir...published just a few weeks ago called “House of Music-Raising The Kanneh-Masons
Rhonda Mason thanks I bought copies
I’m looking forward to reading it and the insights that will follow.
I love how they used the upright for the solo part. It's got a way more bright tone than the grand piano, half the time you cant even hear the feckin solo parts in concert performances, but here its right at the top of the texture where it should be - phenomenal:) I love the fact that they all live in the same house, that's exactly how music should be.
Chamber music every night like Felix and fanny Mendelssohn household.
Lol, took me a while to figure out who the soloist was. I was thinking the one playing the grand was, but then, wait, soloists would memorize their music and wouldn't have a page turner.
@@jacobh9487 so one of them is playing just a piano part and the other is a soloist? I never knew that people did that.
Eduard K. Pretty much every piano concerto will have a two piano arrangement, usually made by the composer themselves.
@@ethanneufeld1 hmmm 🤔. Didn't know that.
They are not only gifted musicians, they could double up as models too.. gorgeous kids..
I think Ludwig would absolutely love this!
I doubt Ludwig absolutely loved anything except for the daughter he was teaching at the moment.
Well, he wouldn’t be able to hear it, though.
@@eyekosaeder5387 ....quando ha scritto e suonato questo fantastico concerto, non era ancora diventato sordo!
Salvatore Martella
Yeah. I was too lazy to look up when he became deaf exactly. XD
Came here by accident. Left 18 mins later.
I left and came back and left and came back and well....here I am. And this is my least favourite Beethoven concerto. Was.
Stunning. When all this is over, I hope she gets to play at Royal Albert Hall with that magnificent orchestra. Meanwhile, all of them need to get into a studio and record this professionally. They are all amazing.
Thats my Beethoven event 2020! I hope that'll get a follow-up. That is true historic performance as done the whole 19th century at home, reducing the Orchestra, like Brahms did, or even in Schönberg cycle in Vienna. What a tension and a drive. Full artistry. Let them give the full concerto! Music is not high Fidelity sound, but intense moving forward with musical emotions and development.
I had to scrape myself off the floor. My favourite Beethoven piece performed in chamber music form with sublime playing from every individual not least the soloist. But what makes it even more captivating is that it is not in a hall or concert venue. It’s in the family home... truly epic 👍🎵
It's actual chamber music.
Can you imagine how proud mum and dad must be, they are brilliant. Came to this after just wtching the BBC documentary.
This is really fun to listen to. It sounds quite a bit like I imagine the actual chamber music would have sounded in 1810... less than perfect pianos, very thin but well played orchestration, two pianos, etc. It would be fun to see more of this approach to quartets and chamber music generally, i.e. bring back The Salon and people actually living and playing such fine music as part of an ongoing communal life.
Well said, Scott.
Scott Alers, as an older lady of color I am so excited to see these children show society that everyone can perform at great levels of achievements!! Allowing no distraction, or persons obscure their goals. I follow them because I have two granddaughters who play violin!! I am proud of this family!!!
There is an organization doing that. I forget what they're called, but they organize small casual concerts, mostly in people's homes. I used to see them advertised on Facebook (of course they haven't been able to do anything recently).
I've listened to this five times now and cried each time. Thank you Kanneh Masons! I'm a weekly concert goer in the season, mostly Symphony Hall (including for Sheku and Chineke!), occasionally Nottingham. I thought I was managing well with on-line concerts until I heard this. You have reminded me of what is for now a lost world. You are all seriously talented and probably have little idea of how much sheer and visceral pleasure you bring to the listener. Thanks again!
This is serious Beethoven - on an upright !!!. Isata's playing reminds me of Brendel, truly outstanding.
This is heaven to me. This is a family of angels that God has given us to heal
Unbelievably gorgeous music making, and the intimacy of the setting makes it all the more special for me. Thanks for sharing this.
OK so when we can again populate concert halls the ENTIRE FAMILY needs to play the Royal Albert. Any questions?
Id pay a handsome fee to see these fantastic musicians play anywhere! But the Royal Albert Hall??!?!
🤩
History has overtaken... Have just watched isata and sheku perform in that very hall. And it was better than any of us could possibly have imagined,. The Rachmaninoff, OMFG my jaw is still on the floor
I have a question: How can I get tickets?
Isata is a fabulous musician, as are her wonderful siblings. When she brings out the Beethoven Piano Concertos on cd I will certainly buy them.
I first heard this concerto 54 years ago. I can't say I've ever heard a better rendition. Amazing. I like this better than the orchestral original. Genius!
Even with the missing wind parts,the kettledrums, and of course the strings that give the piece a much richer texture? It’s a concerto not a chamber work. Their effort are admirable in the absence of an actual orchestra as Beethoven originally intended it. The soloist was brilliant though.
@@coralreef909 The amazing thing is that they took a concerto and transformed it into an entertaining, credible chamber piece. This probably wouldn't work, for example, with Brahms' piano concertos, but who knows? Certainly, they accomplished this with Beethoven's 3d Piano Concerto and I heard it with new ears!
The richness of textures of the piece suffers from the lack of instruments, but the effort in converting a piano concert into a kind of chamber ensemble piece it's excellent. I enjoyed too much the performance.
What a remarkable family! Their talent is extraordinary! Well done!
Fantastic! I cannot find enough words to describe this exceptional family. They should certainly have to be a candidate for the Guinness book of Records. I don't know of any other family in history to have so many members in one family with 7 children with this ability, particularly of African descent. This family has been blessed with a God-given talent . It's so wonderful that they are sharing their gift with the world. Encore! Well done👏👏👏🙏
Happy 250th birthday, Beethoven! May you live forever....
I'm sitting here, at a social distance, in my living room and applauding with gusto. Bravo!
This might be the most moving thing I've seen this week. The master would be proud!
Isn't it great. There is also the Bach Chaconne done by 14 international soloists led by Julia Fischer playing each variation in turn, on Augustin Hadelich's channel on YT. James Ehnes is just one of the mega stars in the line up. It works incredibly well, though I didn't expect it.
Isata plays the piano as if the music just rolls from within her, so beautifully!! It's so wonderful to see the entire gang of this wonderful family play. Just love, love, love you guys!!
Can't wait to get your album
Stunning performance. I will travel to hear this family whenever they make it back to the Albert Hall or a chamber venue. Would love to hear an interview with these guys about their love for music.
Parker Moss The two oldest were interviewed on Sirius XM Symphony Hall a few months back. I don’t know if that interview is available anywhere on the net or not. They are a fascinating story.
60 mins or Sunday Morning. Both on CBS
Within 20 seconds I was already SO glad that I clicked away from that BGT video to here. PLEASE KEEP MUSIC ALIVE INSTEAD OF ... that other thing.
I have watched this video dozens of times over the past year and a half, and am incredibly moved by it every time. I hope and expect that Isata and the whole family have gained considerably more exposure and renown from this video than they would ever have if the scheduled concert had occurred as planned.
“Music expresses wordless odyssey’s.” This is truly very heady stuff indeed; to hear a chamber music version of this watermark concerto by this cosmic family unit of brilliant young musicians. I only wish I were able to give them a huge group hug! One of my favorite proverbs is “the steps of a good man are ordered by The Lord.” I am regularly amazed when He graces me to come upon such inspiration as what I have just enjoyed. How rare to see such gifts of devotion applied with this degree of fervent love. Their parents have the most sparkling legacy possible. When a boy my mother regularly gathered my baby sister and me around the dining room table to sing trios of sacred hymns and gospel songs. So I know somewhat of the joy of release and pure expression in these types of soirées. I love singing more than ever and at age sixty-nine my level of profound delivery and ardent zeal attends my ministry as I pour out my soul to The Lord and receptive hearts. God bless and keep you Kenneth-Mason family! PWG
I enjoy your writing Paul Green
I love this family even though I don’t know you guys! Lol. Thank you for the rich music and inspiration.🙏🏽
Really the most breathtaking , moving, poignant, & meaningful performance of Beethoven I have heard- that’s just apart from the extraordinary talent , dedication and hard work revealed by the performers . Thank you all very much
From Perth

This is so touching. I cried through the whole piece. Everything about this is so right. Thank you very much, best regards from Germany.
Here in S.C. ..USA. Quarantined. This is a blessing..as an older pianist, I'm thrilled to hear and see this extraordinary family!
I wish my neighbours could see this. They think classical music is 'just for whites'.
This is what creates separation. If "blacks" think there are certain things for "whites" they are actually fostering discrimination. It takes an effort for both sides to stop this.
A lot of the members of my local unis orchestra are in fact black, that's because, as Dvorak realised with his 9th symphony, music transcends cultural boundaries...
th-cam.com/video/yc6LCqMf4D0/w-d-xo.html
Guess your neighbors never heard of William Grant Still, or Florence Price or Chevalier De St George
Actually, Beethoven wrote it for everyone. It belongs to them even more, because they play it so beautifully.
Imagine living next door and being privileged to all the free concerts you could hope for. Even rehearsals would be welcomed. Their playing is sublime.
This sort of music-making en famille of large works arranged for chamber ensemble was how most people in the 19th century would have experienced pieces like this. Although I wish the Kanneh-Mason music room were large enough to host two grand pianos, the jingly timbre of the upright is not unlike the sound of pianos in Beethoven's time.
My favourite thing about this video is, how at first one might say, the clothes make her seem more "human" or, at least, approachable - then you see the cadenza and no: absolutely super-human. wow.
Everyone is saying what they wouldn’t give to be their neighbor but I’m thinking what I wouldn’t give to play with them
Wow imagine if these were your kids ..... The pride .....bravo all round .....
So joyful, so passionate and so alive. Such a great message of hope. A huge thank you to the brilliant Kanneh-Mason family for bringing Beethoven's genius into our homes.
Overwhelming performance, BRAVI all! I had a ticket for Isata's and Sheku's duet evening at the Rheingau Musik Festival (GER) in summer. Now I'm even sadder than before that the Festival has been cancelled due to COVID-19. But the heartwarming performance of these incredibly gifted siblings has lifted my spirits again. Thank you all and God bless!
Marvellous Issata. I've seen her play live a couple of times. Her playing sizzles!
Wow. The broad range of colors Isata is able to make is so difficult on a piano and yet she makes it look and sound so effortless! Brava to her and bravi to the rest of the family! Thank you Kanneh-Mason fam for gifting us all with your amazing talents!
It's so beautiful I'm crying. It brings me back to when I had so much passion, dedication, and love playing the viola.😫😫😫
WHAT THE.... HEAVEN IS GOIN ON THERE!!! AMAZING TREASURE DISCOVERY ON TH-cam FOR ME!!
Isata played a superbly commanding cadenza that brings us to different emotions - passionate, anguish, tenderness, hope and determination. Well done and thank you for the video.
I also thought the cadenza was epic, and different.
@@daviydviljoen9318 me too, it is absolutely amazing
it’s Beethoven’s own original cadenza the first movement of his third concerto. Listen to all of Beethoven’s five concerti in their original orchestral form. Truly epic.
This must be the 5th time I am listening to this performance. I can just say : "Amazing!". I met Sheku last Saturday night in NY Carnegie Hall. It is really an honor.
Whitout corona we over here would not have known your wonderfull playing. Magical Beethoven for ever. Succes in the future. from belgium a musical blacksmith and Beethoven-lover
Wow. I am floored by this performance. Such an incredibly gifted family. By far the most inspiring and admirable in-home musical performance of all I have heard during these dark days of the pandemic. Bravo!
Wait two weeks ago?
I love how this chamber captured the essence and affekt Beethoven was conveying in the score. Congratulations!
Please thank your parents on behalf of the whole world. You are blessed and you are paying those blessings forward!
Wonderful! This is exactly how this music would have been enjoyed at home in the 19th century before the invention of recording! This is great!
I'd like to be the neighbor of that marvelous family. I'd never get bored of listening to them 😍
Nononono, every piece in order for people to play it so well and beautiful they have to practice a lot and during this period no one will found it pleasant.
Umm practice sessions will drive the people in your same households crazy haha
This was a lot of fun! Interesting that the musician with the "Continuo" role in the performance gets the grand and the soloist gets the upright. Great art in an intimate setting that's a perfect style for the rest of us watching from home to better feel like we're there. The show must go on and with the venue closed, you're still intent on sharing your art to the world. This is a positive vibe the world needs right now! Thank you.
I can imagine Ludwig up there, murmuring, "This is better than anything I ever expected. Thank YOU, Mr and Mrs Mason", To which all I can add is, "Amen".
This absolutely has to be my favourite living room within the entire world.
I have many recordings of this concerto played by different pianist, but I can see in the years to come, whenever I don't feel at one with the world, this is the video I will come back to.
You can see the love that they have for music. So incredible!
I'm a better person for listening to this. Love this talented family
What a revelation! How rich this concerto played in quartet/quintet, what a sparkling interpretation!
I cried listening to this gorgeous ensemble. I have played cello in orchestras several times on this piece and am missing the unique camaraderie and soaring spirit of being a part of musical sharing like this. Thank you! What a beautiful family. Gifted? Yes, but the hours they have dedicated to play this well is the essential story.
Oh wow ... that must be such an amazing experience!!! I think a soloist can really inspire your music making when you're in an orchestra and give you the encouragement to take more risk.
This performance is simply wonderful! Thank you!
The living room Beethoven piano concerto. Simply breathtaking! I enjoyed every minute of that.
...nothing but love and artistry and intelligence! ....what an example!!
I wanted to leap to my feet applauding and yelling brava! Brava! Absolutely wonderful!!!
OMG, you guys are superb. I think that Beethoven would be very proud of all of you. You guys are so damn talented; I am so bloody jealous. You should tour as a quintet. Keep up the good work and the best to all of you in the future.
Wow... very good everyone, but the young lady pianist on the left is truly amazing !
@@charlietian2074 I think he knows. Idk... just a hunch.
Isaac W you’d be surprised..
yep, I know this is a piano concerto, and I appreciate the soloist 's performance !
From memory? No sheet music. Awesome.
@@ednaquongwu5352 no music for the soloist is normal
OMG, what a talented family! So beautiful!
I am lost for words🙏
Wow you guys are great great musicians so inspirational I send you love&light 😘🎸🥗🤦♀️
Their timing is impeccable! What a gift to the world! This family is a national treasure!! I hope fame doesn’t spoil them.
Watching Isata play the piano is such a privilege; her fingers are so graceful, and her playing of the piano soars too the heavens.
I came across this by happy accident. What a a joyous treat. So many lovely touches and what sovereign rhythmic control from Isata - a spring board for so many telling details. Brava!
Wow! That was amazing and wonderful. Thank you for sharing that. One of my favourite piano concertos that I have heard thousands of times. I felt like i was going back in time to those days in 8th-9th centuries, when it was common to have music education as a part of social skills in society and friends and families had these kind of playings together. Beethoven also played with his friends and there is that feeling and intimacy on these kind of performances. Imagine being there and listening live: It's special, it's private, it's rare and you can feel to be part of music. You will never get that feeling in a concert hall. Bravo!
This is what a TALENTED FAMILY LOOKS LIKE.
What I would give to be their neighbor!
Tracey Foster Beethoven would be fine it's when they start doing Shostakovich I'd start to complain.
Because you haven't heard them practice...
@@spdsot Listen to his Piano Trio No. 2, it might change your opinion
@@carkod When you have this level practicing is completely different; you not only practice notes but music.
Omggg same!!
I'm in awe, with all the family members being able to play at this level. Its a beautiful performance, and thanks for sharing.
Exquisite performance. The piece works well as a "chamber concerto" thanks to the sensitive interpretations by the musicians.
A very fine chamber performance! I love the fact that the soloist is playing on the upright and the "continuo" player is on the baby grand.
Bravo!! that was a stirring performance! What virtuosity Isata!
Beautiful playing. Such a talented family. Thank you for sharing!
The solo piano playing was incredible. Haven't heard better on any recording of this piece.
This is so freaking beautiful! My family can’t even come together and decide what to have for dinner
I have only recently found this family, never saw the royal wedding, I am now a huge fan What a family Mum and Dad must be so proud and deserving so
*tears* ...just tears... I am overjoyed. The sheer enjoyment of it all. You all made me spontaneously giggle at times by the display of your insanely high musical intelligence and acumen to pull of this performance. To me, it was life-giving joy!!! Overly effusive here? Yes -unabashedly so because the accolades are very well deserved for each of you. ISATA. Oh, my word... What more can be said than what has already been posted? Braimah, Sheku, Jeneba, Aminata, you were a beautiful orchestra. Konya^, Mariatu*, Ms. Kadiatu, and Mr. Stuart, thank you each for your part in this. I am deeply grateful. *Your contributions to the Saint-Saëns Carnival album was lovely and entertaining. (PSA: Buy the album!) ^You know you rock no matter what you happen to be playing at the time. Again, THANK YOU!
What kind of tone deaf people put thumbs down on this?? It's amazing.
Please respect deaf people, they can compose amazing things like this :D
@@vulkanosaure understood. Thanks.
This is the truest music, i heard in the last ten, maybe twenty years ."THE" "Ode to Joy" itself! I'm sure Beethoven would have been heavenly happy, that finally, he found such an absolutely passionate and wonderful family, who not only embraces him, but also is able to capture the essence of his music and its idealistic Ideas, and bring it to life so freshly, as if it was written a few hours ago. I have been crying the whole time . These people are so lovely, intelligent and generous! Thank you, Thank you , Thank you !!!! I love you! And Bravo, bravo, bravo!!!!
I’m sure the Beethoven would be please to hear and see this kids playing his music so passionately!
Oh, my goodness! This is amazing! This is so many layers of awesome!
I love this phenomenally talented family and the great support their parents give to each of their children. What a pleasure to view and to listen to these musicians. I am constantly amazed and delighted at their performances.
Bravo pour les parents ! Le travail des enfants aussi est à saluer chapeau bas !
Gorgeous. And no annoying coughs from the audience.
