I feel the older we get the more this music touches us. The bitter sweet of life, things that could had been, things that should not had been, things that possibly had been. Those joy, grief, blood, sweat, tears.
Absolutely!
I feel the calmness of the music touches us, we become more composed, appreciate a slow, steady pace instead of the frenzy.
Not the music but the memories that live in music.
I am barely 17 years old, but my eyes get sore from crying when I hear a great performance of Bach, Chopin, Schubert, etc.
As a kid we were brought to the symphony twice a year. It was magical to me, I know how lucky I was to attend. All kids should be introduced to the classics early in life. It has always stayed with me, I have loved it since then.
I had a piano instructor back in the 90s who was from Kiev and Horowitz went to the same Kiev Conservatory she went to, she told me how senior recitals are a big deal and they're done in front of a panel of professors who do not show any emotion after your performance. Zero. no clapping, no nodding, nothing.
Horowitz finished, they jumped to their feet and applauded for a minute straight. He was that much of a force.
Jesus is the way the truth and the life
The simple CHRISTIAN message of the Gospel.
You too need to be born again to enter the kingdom of heaven (Jn
3:3). This can only happen by the action of the Holy Spirit when you
accept Christ Jesus in one's life and one truly has faith in Him alone. Before
of all this though, friend, you need to know a lot of things
important. God (YHWH), he created you, put life, breath, soul and into you
all the rest. Thanks to Him we live. We were created to give him glory,
adoration, love and obedience. We have not done this, indeed, we have
continuously lived without thinking of our Creator, and we always have
Sin. We have despised our Creator for doing what pleases us and
we have turned away from Him. In this condition, there is a sentence upon you
of eternal condemnation. Your sins have separated you from God (Isaiah 59:2). Self
die in this condition of spiritual death, you will spend the rest of eternity
in hell, in eternal and absolute torment. It's not your actions that save you, either
trying to improve your behavior. It's not even religions either
Catholicism or whatever. In this condition you are hopeless. the bible,
which is inspired of God, declares: Rom 3:23 all have sinned and fall short of
glory of God. That is, they are devoid of God in glory in heaven. The wages of sin is
the death. What can you do to have forgiveness and eternal salvation? Thank God, there is
the one and only true and certain hope, in Christ Jesus! God commands you to
repent of your sins and leave them behind, and believe in faith in
Christ Jesus to be saved! Rom 5:1 Therefore justified by faith, we have
peace with God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Jesus bought a
dear price of his blood an eternal salvation that we do not deserve,
on the cross for you too. After three days he rose from the dead. Christ with the
his death conquered death. You today, if you obey the Gospel and believe with
faith in this message, you can receive true Life, true eternal salvation,
offered as a gift from God. Today you can find peace in your heart, forgiveness
and a relationship with the true living God. Today you can truly become a son
of God if you accept Jesus into your life as your Lord and Savior! All offered
by FAITH ONLY. Whatever you did today can truly be
forgiven, but you must trust Jesus, his death and resurrection. You have to trust
with the heart only of Him. Do not harden your heart to this message, no
be numb, but let yourself be saved by the Lord Jesus. Eternity will come well
soon, only if you will be in Christ, and thanks to Him be born again of the Spirit,
you will be able to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Seek God with all of yourself, seek Him today!
Become a disciple of the Master and Lord Christ Jesus! Real life, life in
abundance, it is only in Him!

Go somewhere else with your preaching. This is not the place.@@discepolidiYeshua93
In 1947-48 I had piano lessons at a pre prep in Brighton England by a Mr Horowitz...surely not ?
@@emilioporro you have to google some old pictures and see for yourself.
About two years ago, I walked into a church. My town has four churches, some large, some small. This was the smallest one I hadn't been to yet, and for once it was open outside of mass hours. Inside, a man sat at the piano playing Chopin's nocturne. The reverberation through the empty hall echoed so beautifully and made my eyes swim the moment I heard it.
You have painted a beautiful emotive picture.
same with Jesus,your Eyes will swim when you see Him🌐
As the Metropolitan in Moscow said to the Holy Metropolitan in Kviv...I send you THIS with the love of the Saviour.
All beauty reflects the One who created the mind and gifts.@@kgb691927
sounds like the start to a book 👍
Mr Horowitz sits at the piano so casually, as if engrossed in something utterly mundane. No theatrics, no extraneous movements. Nothing stands between him and the music. He is the music.
Not Horowitz
@@maridaude2045 It's Horowitz
The greatest.
@@maridaude2045 2nd pianist is Horowitz, first is Pressler... he is right
🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊
Love the shots of the audience lost in a dream
Great music elevates one's soul
When Menahem Pressler played this Nocturne from Chopin live in Berlin, he was aged 91. You will never find a better interpretation of this emotional piece from Chopin. Menahem Pressler was a real, but silent, World Class Artist. Menahem Pressler, rest in peace.
please, listen this nokturn performed by Władysław Szpilman
Wladyslaw Szpilman performance is unsurpassed
With all due respect, WLADYSLAW SZPILMAN PERFORMANCE IS UNSURPASSED!!!!
Superb
91? Now I understand why he needs the score.
How can humans create such beauty and at the same time be so evil to one another.
quite often I ask myself the same question.
The same reason why some are healthy and the others - ill.
@@Rinrincitosame
The blind japanese pianist playing his own composition is a true joy for the ears and the soul
At 6:10 ..the old Russian man with tears in his eyes.......How well I remember this moment as I saw this Horowitz broadcast LIVE some decades ago.
This moment made me cry… Probably this man went through something in his life…
@@user-dc1oq6hz8u Many of us had exactly the same thoughts. I sure did. One of the most unforgettable things i've ever seen.
i was in tears as well lmao

@@user-nj5vu3yu4r I think he heard Horowitz when he was young.
Finally - No fake face gestures from the piano player to make it look like "passion" or "emotion"
So the performer is not allowed to show his/her emotions if he wants?
@@moomin_2000 Been a piano player for 20+ years and sometimes I let my self go so I know what I'm talking about. I get that some piano players like Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder shake their heads because they felt the music inside them. But I've seen so many great artists perform without the need to fake emotions that frankly takes away from the performance itself. Fake tears, Fake Head movements, Fake Facial expressions (as if it were the hardest thing) even their their wardrobe all point out to draw attention towards them and not the music piece itself.
@@rumar4u looooooooooooooool
@@rumar4uvery teue
The closer we get to that last day on earth, on this magical place that consists of bittersweet experiences, the closer we move towards the basics, poetry, philosophical thinking, music. It is a full circle someone might say, we go back to where our soul was guiding us all those years, but career, friends, family, that night out that we had to go out because everyone would attend kept us apart from our nature. And we lived in distance from our own soul for ages.
Wow! That's pretty deep. I'm going to have to contemplate that for a while. In this day and age when everybody is talking but nobody is really saying anything, this actually speaks to me.
@@patrickfreeman8257 people need to hear the sound of silence.
Well said.
Beautifuly said.I maight just add that it is just the flow of presense we only have.
Wonderful to see children, young people in audience listening raptly, respectfully. Gee, no iPhones or texting - what a pleasure to see and to hear this simply beautiful music.
You can add to that, no coughing, blowing your nose, rifling through your pockets only to drop a number of coins that go rolling down the aisle.
上世紀80年代的表演，當時未有📱 iPhone！😅
Yes, for once no one standing up with their back to the performance taking a selfie to show how cultured they aren’t….
It's because this is Germany
People are altogether more respectful and thoughtful
@@johncater7861 wtf are you saying "number of coins that go rolling down the aisle" are you a droid
the chopin for me all day long, pure magic. stunning.
it's like listening to someone's train of thought go from familiarly dark to unexpectedly happy, and then back again
yep, they are not just notes to be played but how are you going to play them? the magic is in the mind of the soloist.@@cd-zw2tt
Polish composer. Best ever.
i know what you mean, i love how simple and effortless it seems, the delicate cascading of notes from something to nothing. the sound is in the silence. magical.@@cd-zw2tt
@@kennethtalbott2233 "..simple and effortless..' - yes and the paradox is that it's from rigorous practising many hours each day for many days and weeks and years. A true dedication 😊
In all these, it is palpable the silence these performances create... The feeling of silence means you are truly listening. It's so hard to listen when there's so much noise about. I'm honoured and sad to be born in 1984 - that means I'm not old but just old enough I remember when we had silence and could make space and time to listen to things.
This video reminded me of that. Cheers.
2:58 I love how softly he went up to that higher octave. Made the descent feel ethereal and lofty. What a great interpretation of this piece.
I see, nice
Pressler played the cycle of life. For everybody to feel.
Fryderyk Chopin - a Polish composer, the best of all times!
Thank you for this wonderful performance!
Second, after Bach. But still amazing.
@@Eyelash85 I am sorry Bach is not even top 5
Listen to a great orchestra playing The Mother Goose Suit by Ravel,it doesn't get better than that.
@@TheDirtyLuke Oh, you are so wrong. But...to each their own
@@user-wl7po9pg7r He is not, and never will be in top 5. Majority of people agree with me on this one, so no, I am not wrong
The old greats...Horowitz, Pressler, Arturo Rubinstein, even Rachmaninoff, when they played...they became the music... they didn't emote and gesticulate to detract from it...the music was the master, and they served it. A pleasure to watch, and a blessing to hear, a sublime pleasure.
Well penned..."they served music"👍👌
Don't forget Claudio Arrau
Nor the wonderfull Oscar Peterson

@@williamtaittinger4529 truly
sorry for your loss
My condolences.
In music there is sadness, joy, and many other emotions. Experiencing the death of somebody close, one's perception of music changes. I have experienced how playing the one and same melody before gave different meanings to me.
All the best to you.
My condolences
0:37 0:41 0:43 beautiful and beyond...I saw the Pianist movie .and it brings me to tears..this is awesome.being a pianist myself..this is every bit.... perfection
This beauty envelopes me. I can't control my emotions. Glorious. Thank G-d for these moments of heaven on earth.
Sir Pressler has what it takes to play this music and, I am sure, A lot of other standards. Sir - You are a precious gem.
Oh my goodness. Being part of the Beax Arts Trio means he can play anything. Much respect to him.
Horowitz is my favourite pianist of all time, such a gem!
Of the three Noboyuki Tsujii was the only one that wrote his own music so yes I bow my head to him
Horowitz.....pretty much on everybody's top 5 list for greatest pianist of the 20th century. The audience is spellbound. Wish I couldve heard him live. He was alive until I was 23. I missed out.
Pressler is amazing, too.
@@psforrest1 He taught at Indiana University for many years. I've often thought I studied Music at the wrong school.
No one could channel Chopin like Rubenstein. His recording of the Chopin 1st concerto, 2nd movement, is beyond extraordinary.
He’s playing Schumann
@@mlbhdk06 Irrelevant. I was complimenting the man on his unassailable interpretation of Chopin's 1st. You must be American, ryt?
@@James-ll3jb Well, you could've at least prefaced your original comment then with "I know Horowitz is playing Schumann here, but..."
There's no need to insult somebody on the basis of which country they were born and raised in, of which they have no control.
everything's ok? @@James-ll3jb
@@JohnSmith-cg3cv Why should I if I am talking about Horowitz and Chopin? Lol!
It's difficult to remain Agnostic when listening to music like this. God bless those woe bring beauty into this world.
Right. One becomes a complete atheist.
@@ahboaz 😅
Amén
During Horowitz's performance, you can visibly see each and every audience member is in their own imaginary world, quietly listening to the music, letting it flow through their minds and soul. Such is the beauty and power of music when presented by someone as legendary as Horowitz.
It's wonderful how age only manifests how some musicians' insight and depth of musicality reaches immortal beauty!
In these dark days with wars and fierce fighting music is like Shakespeare said "if music was the food of life play on"
Good for the soul Gods gift to us let's enjoy every second of it. Thanks for this upload I feel good🎉
Lately I see lots of comments on social media about how amazing the latest pop star strumpet who is cavorting about on stage in a sparkly leotard is. About what an amazingly talented song writer she is. And I think to myself, the people making these comments must never have had their lives touched by genuinely beautiful music such as this. It makes me laugh, but it also makes me sad and a little bit upset. Thank God for Beethoven, Chopin and the talented musicians who keep their music alive.
you can enjoy this music without shitting over other people's music, everyone is touched in a different way by different sounds and words. i hope you aren't this ego centric in real life. i love classical, some of my friends love swift. it's going to be ok.
@@user-jr2ul6vi3j Yeah, but there's certain music that is objectively shit. Of course, people can like it and it can make them 'feel' a certain way, but doesn't justify calling this person 'ego centric'.
Spot on. The pop culture today including it's music is truly void of esoteric beauty. Can you imagine a world where classical music was the most popular music for all ages? Make Classical Music Great Again!
@@vividly94 He is though
@@vividly94 wrong
1:27 what a great break into a slightly happier mood until it falls back down, excellent writing by chopin
I saw this performance of Horowitz live when I was young. I was affected by the shots of the audience back then. Now I understand them better. They had deep life experiences that were tapped into by Horowitz and the piece he played.
Are we still the people who could sit and watch the masters like the audience in the video? I am afraid to say no and I feel lonely when I am left teary eyed by ART, that might slowly be lost to this Scroll-World.
So beautiful !! Chopin the Monet of music.
A great description.
Although it is much harder to be so emotionally shaken by a Monet painting.
Oh what lovely music. Nobuyuki Tsuji's elegy so wonderful. ❤❤❤❤
These performances makes real the reality that music is an intangible intimacy.
This must be what music is like in heaven and Chopin heard it in his spirit and played it people on earth! The Lord revealed to me some time ago He is sending music from heaven to earth in this timing! It will be wonderful to hear new heavenly music!
THIS is what music is about! Not half-naked bodies or flashy outfits to draw certain audiences to the concert - hall. Unfortunately, this is what the classical music industry is promoting for quite some time now...
Exactly, like Y.Wang e.g. showing off, technically astounding, but lacking in musicality.
@@bob7023You don’t need to say that. I’m Chinese and I’m not bothered by mariapap8962’s comment at all. I just smile and respect him. No need to overact and take it too seriously.
@@tzenkadianova2892Mariapap is not being racist or misogynistic. He gave his opinion on an artist, and you immediately and smugly decided it was because of race and gender. No one is free from criticism. So please stop fighting this imaginary villain that you created just to appear socially superior, it doesn't help anyone.
Yes, the playing is lovely, but his phrasing is noticeably laboured due to the advanced age. If you can't hear this, you are in denial or lack the musical experience. Pollini was once criticised for being too aggressive and lacking in the musical department, same of Horowitz and many others. Listen with your ears, not your eyes. Yuja's phrasing is far more interesting than this master-class in rheumatism.
@nikb6176 You can wait to make this comment when Yuja Wang is 70/80 years old and having rheumatism (and hopefully not half-naked on stage any more). Ridiculous comparison.
Menahem Pressler was truly amazing!
Its so strange, every note feels like it vibrate inside my head and drips down to my heart. And sometimes its so hard to swallow and yet so warm and comforting. Beautiful….
Im 72 & my mother always played classical music on her victrola record player so i was introduced from birth.
That Chopin nocturne...my God, so tender and so sublime. Perfect music for the rain that just started outside my window.
A well educated on music audience. They felt every stroke to the core!
THIS MUSIC TAKES US TO A PLACE OF BEAUTY ❤️
Goodness, that third pianist - what a beautiful, simple, spellbinding piece of music. Brought chills ❤
And he's a blind pianist who composed it, go figure.

Congratulations for writing the cringiest and most obnoxious comment on this video. (There was a lot of competition in this comment section but this is definitely the most nauseating)
Pressler playing Chopin is very touching.
What a special moment in someones life. To witness such great musicians in a lifetime. Really lucky people to have such memories.
A lovely selection of works and artists. I heard Pressler play the Chopin Nocturne on a few occasions in London and Paris. The limpidity of the runs at the end were just so characteristic of his inimitable technique. I miss him.
This is indeed an awesome emotional experience & speaking about another heartbreaking performance from a pianist there was Dinu Lipatti‘s last recital some 2 months before his death from Leukemia in 1950. This is available on CD & among his selections is perhaps the most moving Schubert G flat major IMPROMPTU that I have ever heard. You Tube has this likely as well. The entire recital is one to cherish even if a repeat section of one of his ChopIn pieces had to be cut due to Lipatti‘s physical condition.
I wept alone in my living, the children and my wife are asleep
I remember traumerei being played in song of love the biopic about schumann. It was played several times during the film but when clara played it at the end after roberts mind had broken down and he died the affect on me was devastating. I write music . I have mental illness. I feel this music very deeply.
I started playing the piano after watching this film
Drops from spirituality falling on our souls! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤
Отличное, безупречное исполнение Шопена!
Video has a clickbait title, but it's actually not a clickbait, it really delivers. 3 magnificient performances. A big thank you to everyone who made these possible. I am not done listening to this.
Horowitz ... come lui nessuno mai🎹
Powerfull yet so soft....
Touches your heart and soul.

This is so touching, heartfelt, and moving. Well done Sir!
The last one did it for me. Beautiful Beyond words
Non ci sono parole per questa belleza.
❤❤❤.....
like teardrops, beautiful 🥲
This MUSIC deserves more respect than it's been given. I have been in country, rock and bluegrass music my whole life but when ever I listen to this music I am humbled to say the least. Sometimes we need to listen with not only our hearts but our souls too.
This is just magical.
Each melody is like a sad story, some artists I mean musicians can really talk to us through thier instruments.
I'm amazed, such music can always talks to inner side of us, express things we didn't know how deliver or talk about.
I'm so much amazed
Agree with everybody about Chopin and Schumann, but also the third piece was really poignant and beautiful....
All throughout my life my mother played Traumerei. It always takes me back to childhood..
I have deep respect for all performers and composers. Thank you God for the music which is the reason to live life enormously.
on march 11 2011, was working in a data center on a night shift. me and my team knew how to connect ourselves on international networks so we watched mostly in real time the horrific tsunami in Japan.... that pianist is a genius.... thank you.
Every young pianist should listen to this video. Composed, slow and thoughtful play, as it always should be.
I will never get tired of either hearing or playing Chopin's Nocturne in C# Minor. I first heard it from one of the best movies of all time (The Pianist), it drove me to start learning multiple instruments rather than just drumset, it helped me read melodies far better than was able to before, and it showed me what classical piano is really about.
Worship comes out of the finger tips of such a G d fearing man , He helped me forget for a few moments , the madness out there in the world , 🌎 ❤
We need that so badly.
A lifetime of memories lived in moments through songs that make the ones we lost become eternal in our hearts
I cannot fathom those who decry all music that is different than this. If music truly moves you, inspires you, gives you a moment to pause then who can say that all forms of musical expression are not appreciated. Open your heart and mind and give thanks for those that are gifted.
Warning!
The sound of the third performance explodes in volume. It is MUCH louder than the first two.
At 7:05, turn your volume way down to protect your hearing.
Loved the 3rd piece. Such emotion in the music. Beautiful performance!
Chopin Nocturne in C Sharp minor always makes me calms me down to the point where I just sit there and smile.
Chopin has always been one of my favorites to play...❤❤❤
Wow! These pieces are so achingly beautiful ❤❤❤
2:50 so wunderschön und gefühlvoll...
What 's a magic muzik for heart, for feeling, for us! Thank You!
Horowitz has been my favorite for many, many years. He brings so many emotions to the surface.
Sir Horowitz was already in his eighties during this concert. This really shows that age is just a number!
Nice video!
It is Pressler
Sir Presslel- Beutivul- Musika - Thank You-B -🎹👏🌹🕊️⏳
WOW! The little time pieces he waits till he plays the next note is just what music is all about. We all heard Chopin so many times, but like this … you need to dig deep, very deep. The world would need that kinda music, not boom tshap boom boom tshap
Amen
Most of Pressler's discography is chamber music with the Beaux Arts Trio. But whenever we were treated to solo performances, he delivered.
I heard him play Gaspard de la Nuit -- it was incredible.
Un de ces rares moments où l'espèce humaine mérite d'être encore là...
If there's absolution then there must be music. Where else is there such a place where one is able to forgive, to rebuild, to absolve one's shortcomings, other than in the presence of great music. Tears of enlightenment are streaming in my mind, having found peace in forgiving my past, forgiving my youthful exuberance, forgiving myself, whilst listening to this. Music, great music, is absolution for the soul and can only lead to harmony and peace. Thank you for sharing.
He slows down the faster runs so his arthritic fingers can manage them- and he's so good, it somehow seems as though that was how it was written.
I think that is an assumption on your part. I studied with a renowned Polish teacher (teacher Emanuel Ax and others, and performer in the earlier 20th century) Mieczyslaw Munz. In my score of this, on that second run, he wrote "Slower." Anyway, it's gorgeous as Pressler plays it.
@@psforrest1 Oh- my account of his reason for slowing is certainly an assumption. However, unless it was Chopin himself indicating that those parts be played slower- which he does not- such assumptions, if not openly invited, will naturally follow. Certainly 'gorgeous' is right.
L'interprétation de Pressler est absolument remarquable, tout en finesse et sans aucune complication inutile.
What I can just say is that music is life ❤
The transition from the 2nd to the 3rd song was so harsh for me. It was like I was lulled to sleep by the most sweetly read bedtime story followed by someone throwing a bucket of icewater on me when the intro applause abruptly cut in on the 3rd clip. Jarring to say the least.
Ive always said this, Piano music can break any soul when done right.
It was the legendary concert in Moscou. Unic !
It’s wonderful to see these elderly pianists. There is no doubt that there is brilliant young talent out there but is there any need for the dramatics. These pianists are all about the music.
Pure. Exquisite. Mesmerizing. This was a spiritual experience!❤
The piano is without a doubt, the greatest, most sublime instrument ever made...and played by man. It has the power to probe the deepest regions of the human spirit. Beethoven, Chopin, Mendelssohn Tchaikovsky and Mozart all knew this.. and they spoke to us all thru this medium.
What's the saying ? Music calms the savage heart ? Not a sound in the audience. Bravo maestro.
