It is really one of the most difficult pieces for piano ever. I have never heard anyone playing it by memory! Extraordinary musicality and sensitivity and immaculate technic. Bravo!!
Brilliant Performance David! Amazing that you performed from memory too. I love this concerto and it's great to see a whole concert hall full of people listening to this wonderful work!
What a great performance! Ball is fantastic, and it must have been an extraordinary experience to play this incredibly hard and rarely played piece with Kocsis! What a shame, Ball is not known worldwide!
I first heard this piece performed by the San Francisco Symphony with Peter Serkin at the piano. Serkin was only 24 and I, only 16. I didn’t get the piece much at all then, and I admit, I don’t understand it much better today. Twelve-tone music largely escapes me. I can’t say how this performance compares with Serkin’s, but Mr. Ball has done an admirable job on a difficult piece.
Amazing whenever people gettogether and decide to programme this music ! Kocsis must have been an advocate and maybe couldn't get therecord companies to go with him on this and other takes ? Never seen Kocsis conduct before . Several live performances are on youtube ;many have to have this music in their heads or it cannot be played . More muscle than Kodama but she is brilliantly communicative even if her ffs are not as far reaching .Wonderful that this was in Kocsis' repertoire until the end . I think he like Uchida thought with film music everywhere people would get it . I think if they just listened and stop looking for old patterns they wouldget it . It speaks in great shapely phrases and gestures . Mostly short but expressive and always communicative . It speaks more to us than maybe a Mozart concerto should in our time . this is mow . 1934-36 op.36 . It's still anxious , perpipatetic moving quickly but fervently now music speaking about us - now .
Atonal music is so dry. As a composet im keen to learn atonal techniques but will only use it in a restricted manner as it devoids your piece of any emotion except a sea of vacantness
Wonderful performance.
Very genuin naturally flowing interpretation!

Really beautiful performance, thanks for sharing !
Thank you for your words.
This piece played well is so rhythmic and even melodic ❤
I can't stop humming this.
That’s hard to believe
@@evanpyne4426 They've put me on el dopa. I'm getting better.
Heard the postman humming it this morning organized chaos.
Haha!
This is such a gracious and unhurried piece. I love it

Uchida doesn't have the score on the piano either - at least not as far as I can tell.
so good!
The Schoenberg Piano Concerto may not be pretty or even beautiful but it is VERY COOL! Superb performance.
Dear Thom, thank you.
I eminently disagree with this comment, it is very beautiful and sometimes even pretty.
Oeuvre magistrale et excellente interprétation .
Bravo et mes compliments à TOUS !
Pierrot , cordialement .
Pierre SIBANARCO I am glad, you like it.

Ok

It's exactly that sea of vacantness that stirs me... but perhaps I'm weird 🤔
