For everyone saying he is nervous... Man, I wish I could play 10% his level being nervous. This movement is a Presto Agitato, the pianist cannot chill down. Is flawless, the best version IMHO.
This movement it is only for those who play with passion. I have listened this played by a world renowed one and for my absolute surprise I expected more!!! You just play with passion 😰😰😰
I think the pianist was a little bit of nervous because of the expressions he made, but I would want him to know that he did perfect performance, incredible concentration and preparation, he's in an amazing level
"To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable." - Ludwig van Beethoven. Remember Beethoven said that whenever you think about criticizing someone for making a mistake.
@@czesciek8775 That's very true, and I think Beethoven's point is that this focus on perfection is misplaced. A greater focus should be placed on passion while playing. Of course, the pianist is aiming for perfection, but as humans, they may fall short and that's ok.
@@one-il5fu I honestly believe that small errors do not detract from the musical experience when the piece is played with the utmost expression. That's why in instrument exams you can make slip ups and still get full marks, because your overall expressive performance makes up for it
Why some people just try to find the mistake of the pianist? Can you play better than him? Find out mistake of him to show off that you're knowledgeable? 1 wrong note can't spoil the performance but the bad behavior of listener. Please appreciate the effort and hard working of these artists.
+GoldLegacy You are insane if one slip up ruins a performance for you. How can you exist with such a perverted frame of mind? You must live a life of unmitigated & unrelenting pain.
Thắng Vũ yes he is absolutely correct, I was able to teach myself this piece in only 2 weeks full memorizations. Obviously it wasnt perfected but the learning process of this piece is not that hard considering it is a constant tempo most of the time with only a few slowdowns, and the rise up is the same pattern.
This must be my favorite version so far. He doesnt just play the music, he brings in actual emotion and the "drama" Beethoven intended to infuse this piece with. Truly, played well. I hope I could play the piano like this.
@@GeorgiiCherkinI fully agree with the above comment. You don't play the piano in this piece. You use the keys to convey emotions. The level required for that is way beyond piano mechanics. Bach would cut someones head off if they tried to take you as an apprentice as a youngling instead of him. Can't think of a better compliment.
Sin duda una brillante ejecución. Te invito de todas formas a ver la ejecución completa de Claudio Arrau, el mejor del siglo XX. Está en youtube. Es magistral.
SamTheBossGaming15 Me too, and the orchestra adds something special to it. I was raised listening to the first movement and that may be my favorite part of any song I've ever heard because of the emotional associations I have with it, but the third movement is a close second.
He is not nervous. It is the intensity of the music itself. He is confident with his training and performance. This is hands down the best performance in TH-cam.
I think it adds a bit of texture and heightened drama, but of course it's not necessary, at least for this last movement of the work. But I do think the orchestral accompaniment adds some atmosphere to the second(slow) movement, which I think benefits the sonata in a more significant way.
Yes, you are right, the first movement is the slow movement(something did seem off to me when I was writing my comment above). Anyway, it's been quite a long while since I've listened to or played this piece.
It sure added something to the performa- nce for me, & evidently the audience from the degree of enthusiastic applause. I hope this trend catches on and many solo piano works are essentially con- verted into piano concertos to break the mono tany of having heard overplay- ed works for de- cades. For instance, I am burned out on the Liszt B minor sonata. But with a sen- sational, sweep- ing Rachmani- noffian style orchestral back ing, a team of wild horses couldn't keep me away from such a concert.
I think I may have just seen Beethoven himself playing this!! Beethoven didn't write music, he SPOKE thru the piano! I didn't hear music here, I heard someone speaking, not thru their mouth, but with their fingers. It evoked emotions from passion, to force, to a beauty that may or may not have made a tear run down my face. Better go see a doctor, my eye is leaking again. Beautifully done young man from 12 years ago. A talent to express music that speaks thru your hands is for me, a gift from God. Obviously you have chosen to exercise gift, and I know I finished listening and watching with a smile on my face. Thank you and big thumbs up 👍👍👍
The artistic decision to omit several of the turns and embellishments to allow the orchestra to come through and push the tension resolutions was smart as hell
I realised I was holding my breath listening to this, the very best and most emotional performance of this beautiful music I have ever heard. Why wasn’t the audience immediately on its feet?
This is undoubtedly the most beautiful version I've heard of this song, but I've never heard it with an orchestra before and I just love what they add to the pianist's gorgeous performance. The song has so much depth an emotion already and the orchestra just adds another entire dimension to the song and I love it. I'm gonna have to listen to this one several more times before moving on. This one is going in my favorites.
I've never seen this performed with an orchestra. The sound is wonderfully rich, but it makes the pianist's performance even more Impressive. He's not just playing to his own internal metronome, he has to stay tuned in to everyone else around him and adjust as necessary. Bravo. This was brilliant.
The pianist's facial expressions catches the rawness and beauty of the piece, I listen to this as the sun is rising behind the rainy clouds, while looking at a tree caught in the storm.
Forgive me but this was flawless, amazing and the pianist played with such precision. I inspire to play like you one day, coming from another pianist x
How can human being create and perform this sublime piece and at the same time destroy each other? …every time I listen to this, start to cry but I feel humanity has been restored.
Can we just appreciate that the pianist played this without sheet music? I am a pianist myself and it takes me so much practice to play a 2 min song by memory, bravo to this man for memorizing a freaking 7 MIN SONG like wow bravo to you sir, you are forever my inspiration
Thank you very much! Well, actually it is not that hard to play a 7 minutes piece by memory, sometimes in a piano recital we play a lot of pieces by memory for more than 1 hour.. :)
Anushruta Mitra i feel like the easiest part is memory (at least for me). Maybe is because I’m not use to playing with sheet music, who knows. But I memorize as I go.
Besides, to play so well in front of the audience takes a lot of courage and so much more. I used to play the piano and I know the feeling. One word...BRAVO.😍
Classical music is timeless. Even as time goes by, the works of these musical geniuses retain their power and elegance, always enchanting music enthusiasts.
What an astounding rendition. From start to finish he delivered such a consistent interpretation with so much gusto and emotion. Definitely my favorite version of this movement. Wow!
I think that’s the loudest applause I’ve ever heard and rightfully so! A very hard song combined with nerves and well the fact that it’s all memorized and is 7 mins long.... just amazing
Sanırım 10 yıldır sürekli dinliyorum, kız arkadaşımla kavga ettikten sonra ilaç gibi geliyor, Beethoven sanki benimle konuşuyor gibi, özellikle 5:28 de ''Boş ver insanları dırdır konuşurlar''der gibi, ayrıca Georgii Cherkin iyiki varsın bana klasik müziği sevdiren adamsın. çok teşekkür ederim. I LOVE YOU BEETHOVEN➿
That was magnificent. For those of us who weren't there, I can only imagine how much more epic it must have been to be there and hear it all in person.
Anyone truly know how difficult it is to memorize a piece like this? I respect the fact that this man didn’t need a single piece of music to play this at a concert. I would definitely need sheet music. It amazes me that he didn’t. 👏
I'm not trying to lessen his amazing achievement, but after enough times it becomes muscle memory. I imagine he's practiced this piece over a hundred times because he plays it beautifully, and every time you retain a little bit more. The memorization isn't the hard part, it's the playing correctly, which he absolutely did
This is without doubt the best take on beethoven's moonlight sonata especially the third part which is for me the most interesting part . This pianist has given every note a bit of his soul wich made it even more unique and more enjoyable . And i loved the orchestra as well . Thank you all for this masterpiece and for this wonderful performance ❤
@Joey J bom dia Sr acho que está gostando das .minhas jóias que são só minhas não sei como estou dividindo desculpe me o meu egoismo mais minha paixão e grande espero que aproveite um pouquinho abraço isis
JHMusic he asked, how, not why. as a pianist (though not to the same standard) while learning a piece you can generally play it off by heart at the end.
If he did have have the score, there will be 12 pieces of A4 paper, and 1 piece of paper lasts about 15 seconds and some of it is repeated so someone would have to stand and change paper ever 15 seconds. It would look fantastic!
After revisitting baroque and classical musicians over the years..... beethoven is the emotional genius, and music is not just theory but emotion too Bach is also a genious but he doesn't touch certain emotions that beethoven hits..... pachelbel, vivaldi, corelli, monteverdi and countless others are amazing too
I was one day willing to listen Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata 3rd Mov. but I couldn't find any performance in TH-cam which could quench my thirst. Eventually, I stopped in this video and I was fully satisfied after watching this... What a player!
@@nelsonlee3376 This is the only version with orchestra! Georgii CHERKIN has made the simphonization.There are quite a lot of pianists who play the Moonlight sonata but thousands of people prefer Mr.Cherkin because of his elegance and playing with huge passion! I recommend You to listen to other wonderful performances in this channel!🥰🎶 . .
I was looking for a pianist who performs this piece and then I found this.The first i hear the music,it's exactly what im looking for how it should be played to satisfy my ears.I love how you played it,and it inspires me to play and practice piano even more as I see you play the piece.Thank you for this really great performance!
Thank you for reminding us of the power this piece can convey when interpreted as the composer intended. I felt like I was hearing Beethoven himself playing. I hear so many renditions on youtube and it feels like a ragtime piano mashing contest. Your playing makes my soul reverberate with joy and wonder at our cosmic playground. You are also very handsome then and now, but that takes a backseat to your gift.
I hear passion, pain of the soul, dispair...this sonata was dedicated to Julietta Guiccardi, his young student whom he fell in love...love without hope. She was rich. Beethoven proposed, but got denied. Moon sonata was named by German poet Relschtab for the beautiful 1st part. But its not about nature. Its an expression of composer's emotions and love drama.
I love when the pianist slows down the tempo to let the orchestra helping him to bring the emotional to us. Some parts are usually played as quick as possible to be spectacular but this interpretation shows the perfect mix between emotions and technical demonstration
Your expression at 7:09 is everything! I mean, it clearly summarised how the composition is hard and complex, but all the pain was absolutely worth it. Fabulous job, I have visited your channel every day ever since I discovered it (so thankful that I did!) and am amazed by your skills and the beauty that the orchestra adds to it.
Каждый музыкант пропуская через себя музыку, выдаёт свою уникальную интерпретацию того или иного произведения. Мне нравится эта версия. Очень красивое исполнение: энергично, волнующе и захватывающе. Спасибо большое!
Wow! Truly the very best of 3rd on YT ever ! Maestro virtuoso at play and immortal one of the kind Beethoven 3rd.... Keep coming to it endlessly...whole vid got quality and power of hypnotic addiction .... Out of this world sensation with very fine Orchestra greatly enhancing sonic and visual perception of everything at once. Love every note ....Bravo !!!
Everyone saying " he's nervous and there were some faults " He's incredible and do you know how freaking difficult this piece is?? Have you guys played it because i have so stop criticizing him and just enjoy his talent
Actually it was really a big emotion for me, because I was presenting for the first time my arrangement for piano and orchestra of the piece, never heard before. Thank you for listening!
@@GeorgiiCherkinI can't find any negative comments? For me this is the best version. The pressure in your face only makes it better. What a show, great recording. You have my eternal respect.
Nobody told me that Val Kilmer can play piano wıth that excellency. Joke aside, this is one of the most beautiful piece of art representation to me, many thanks to your hard work sir !
My most favorite interpretation of this movement so far!!! The first time I ever finished listening till the end! And I think the orchestra have done a fantastic job in accompany the pianist as well! Good job!! ❤❤❤
I've seen many comments about him being nervous. I don't know if he is, but he seems to be and this feels right, because he is supposed to be nervous. The title of this part of the sonata is "presto agitato". "Presto" in italian means "quick" and "agitato" means "nervous", "tense". I think that he is trying to interpret the music and he is succeeding in it. 👏 So no need to feel sorry for him. He is probably enjoying himself, so just feel the music and enjoy too 🎶🙂
Yes, in this concert it was my first attempt to play this sonata with orchestral accompaniment in a full concert hall with more than thousand people. I prepared to be focused as much as possible. Later in my life already performed this sonata much more relaxed, although the difficulty of this 3rd movement always requires the pianist to be focused for playing these fast and difficult passages.
I started crying watching this being played. I never cry hearing music, but this struck something inside me. Thank you to everyone who performed this masterpiece.
The sheer concentration of this man is astounding.... it's as if he is physically playing but spiritually up with God... the power of music really is something!
Why since 1827 , some people try to explain us Beethoven's feelings and emotions? Only the Composers know what had been on their mind, creating immortal masterpieces!
Anyone else wish they could see Beethoven perform this himself?
Kristen Scott is actress porn
Yes
Yes
In reality, Beethoven played much slower than this.
that would be amazing
For everyone saying he is nervous... Man, I wish I could play 10% his level being nervous. This movement is a Presto Agitato, the pianist cannot chill down. Is flawless, the best version IMHO.

Under presto agitato alberti bass along with arpeggios are supposed to make wrists trembling. If they see it a sign of nervous, ok!
You are one very clever person 🎶

Yeah I felt it
Indeed, but there was a few faulty sounds and misses in tempo.
Anyways, awesome performance.
"To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable."

Never thought of it outside kf music context, interesting

that's absolutley right. i think it's it's because you never hear some mistakes in classical music. but i have to agree 👍
I bet ppl who criticized cant even play as this good or even play with any orchestra nor even travel around the world to perform this lol

It's not even nearly the hardest.
Even tho his performance is beauthiful.
主人公Kamina so what's the hardest?
@@MrThangby There is not really a "hardest one".

@Hongkong Player isn't flight of the bumblebee just fast and based in chromatic scales? I think most of musicians just thinks is overplayed
The pianist was on another level. That's 25 years of experience MINIMUM behind that perfect interpretation. "Well done" is a euphemism.

Memorising comes with the practise, the hardest part is perfecting and mastering the song. Absolutely brilliant
The pianist in this did such an incredible job, props to both him and the orchestra for an amazing performance!

Thank you! I am always like that.
his expression when the piece ended >>>>>>>>all
This is the best version I've ever heard. Perfect.
I do not believe! He plays without reading scores !? How does it !? awesome!!!
Greetings from Brazil.
I know I'm late, but when going on stage you should always have the piece fully memorized. It's improper otherwise
JHMusic he asked, how, not why. as a pianist (though not to the same standard) while learning a piece you can generally play it off by heart at the end.
With the many, many hours of practice and repetition one is usually able to memorize the work.
youd need a person to turn the notes for you becasue you have to be playing all the time
If he did have have the score, there will be 12 pieces of A4 paper, and 1 piece of paper lasts about 15 seconds and some of it is repeated so someone would have to stand and change paper ever 15 seconds. It would look fantastic!
I’m currently learning this piece and this is the gold standard for it. Beautifully played!
Awesome! Thank you!
Meraviglioso, grande interpretazione, tanto studio e sensibilità di un grande musicista.
Emozione stupenda, grazie, per questo momento.
The most beautiful version I have ever heard. It is not just virtuosity, you get feeling.
Could feel the passion of Beethoven live ! What a performance ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Passion reflects from the pianist's expressive eyes
After revisitting baroque and classical musicians over the years..... beethoven is the emotional genius, and music is not just theory but emotion too

@@GeorgiiCherkin Hi Georgii. Do you have a CD rather than a live version?
I was looking for a pianist who performs this piece and then I found this.The first i hear the music,it's exactly what im looking for how it should be played to satisfy my ears.I love how you played it,and it inspires me to play and practice piano even more as I see you play the piece.Thank you for this really great performance!
Thank you very much!
Thank you for reminding us of the power this piece can convey when interpreted as the composer intended. I felt like I was hearing Beethoven himself playing. I hear so many renditions on youtube and it feels like a ragtime piano mashing contest. Your playing makes my soul reverberate with joy and wonder at our cosmic playground. You are also very handsome then and now, but that takes a backseat to your gift.
😊😊😊
WHAT THE HECK THAT WAS BREATHTAKING!!!! O HAD MY EYES CLOSED AS I FELT LIKE I WAS IN HEAVEN WATCHING THE LORDS ORCHESTRA GLORIFYING HIM. 😊
Thank you so much! 🙏
@@GeorgiiCherkin You deserve the respect your an exceptional pianist. BRAVO!!!! 😍
I hear passion, pain of the soul, dispair...this sonata was dedicated to Julietta Guiccardi, his young student whom he fell in love...love without hope. She was rich. Beethoven proposed, but got denied. Moon sonata was named by German poet Relschtab for the beautiful 1st part. But its not about nature. Its an expression of composer's emotions and love drama.
I love when the pianist slows down the tempo to let the orchestra helping him to bring the emotional to us. Some parts are usually played as quick as possible to be spectacular but this interpretation shows the perfect mix between emotions and technical demonstration
The third movement is really spectacular.
Incroyable ! Le Presto agitato de Beethoven💎sublimé par le talent et la beauté de ce pianiste💖Bravo et merci Georgii Cherkin
This is the tempo I like. Not too fast, not too slow
Your expression at 7:09 is everything! I mean, it clearly summarised how the composition is hard and complex, but all the pain was absolutely worth it.
Fabulous job, I have visited your channel every day ever since I discovered it (so thankful that I did!) and am amazed by your skills and the beauty that the orchestra adds to it.
Who would've thought, adding some strings DOES make it more menacing. Nice.
Каждый музыкант пропуская через себя музыку, выдаёт свою уникальную интерпретацию того или иного произведения. Мне нравится эта версия. Очень красивое исполнение: энергично, волнующе и захватывающе. Спасибо большое!
A most exceptional style of performance done by the pianist.
I wish I was there to experience such an amazing performance.
How talented he is I wish I could play like him.
Thank you very much! ☺️
Wow! Truly the very best of 3rd on YT ever !
Maestro virtuoso at play and immortal one of the kind Beethoven 3rd....
Keep coming to it endlessly...whole vid got quality and power of hypnotic addiction ....
Out of this world sensation with very fine Orchestra greatly enhancing sonic and visual perception of everything at once.
Love every note ....Bravo !!!
If you love this piece you should see it printed on paper. It will make your eyes burn. Bravissimo, Maestro Cherkin!
Everyone saying " he's nervous and there were some faults " He's incredible and do you know how freaking difficult this piece is?? Have you guys played it because i have so stop criticizing him and just enjoy his talent
Actually it was really a big emotion for me, because I was presenting for the first time my arrangement for piano and orchestra of the piece, never heard before. Thank you for listening!
@@GeorgiiCherkinI can't find any negative comments?
For me this is the best version.
The pressure in your face only makes it better. What a show, great recording.
You have my eternal respect.
Nobody told me that Val Kilmer can play piano wıth that excellency.
Joke aside, this is one of the most beautiful piece of art representation to me, many thanks to your hard work sir !
Thank you so much!
my room is as big as that piano
You must be grateful to live in a piano...
So how big is your bed?
One of Tom and Jerry’s episode indicates that😂😂
You must’ve have a big room ;)
Holy shit. A Steinway that's for concerts is 12 feet. Literally my bedroom length too.
My most favorite interpretation of this movement so far!!! The first time I ever finished listening till the end! And I think the orchestra have done a fantastic job in accompany the pianist as well! Good job!! ❤❤❤
Wow, thank you!
Same!!!
Более чистого исполнения ещё не слышал. Крутой человек ❤
😊👍
This song always gives me so much emotion...
I've seen many comments about him being nervous. I don't know if he is, but he seems to be and this feels right, because he is supposed to be nervous. The title of this part of the sonata is "presto agitato". "Presto" in italian means "quick" and "agitato" means "nervous", "tense". I think that he is trying to interpret the music and he is succeeding in it. 👏 So no need to feel sorry for him. He is probably enjoying himself, so just feel the music and enjoy too 🎶🙂
Yes, in this concert it was my first attempt to play this sonata with orchestral accompaniment in a full concert hall with more than thousand people. I prepared to be focused as much as possible. Later in my life already performed this sonata much more relaxed, although the difficulty of this 3rd movement always requires the pianist to be focused for playing these fast and difficult passages.
@@GeorgiiCherkinparabéns, uma das melhores performance que já ouvir.
@@GeorgiiCherkin Congratulations! It was a really great performance! 👏
This has really..
CHANGED THE SCENE
So beautiful ! You’re really a genius and the best pianist ever !!!! Speechless before your talent !!! Wish you all the best !!!!
Thank you so much!
I like nice poeple : -3
My soul moved along with your playing! I closed my eyes and my imagination began to flow! Incredible!
Thank you so much for sharing this! I am happy that you enjoyed this performance!
After hundreds of years it is still very popular. Amazing. And thats the beauty of it
I started crying watching this being played. I never cry hearing music, but this struck something inside me. Thank you to everyone who performed this masterpiece.
His wonderful and surprise performance with exquisite skill is off the charts
This is the best Moonlight Sonata i have ever heard. So epic! Thank you for sharing.
The sheer concentration of this man is astounding.... it's as if he is physically playing but spiritually up with God... the power of music really is something!
This is my favorite piano performance of this. The orchestra really adds a unique touch too. What a wild piece of music.
Thank you so much!
Surprised the piano didn't catch on fire, amazing performance!
I've seen this video like a thousand times, I just can't stop, amazing
Why since 1827 , some people try to explain us Beethoven's feelings and emotions? Only the Composers know what had been on their mind, creating immortal masterpieces!
I love the fact that he's just playing the song from his heart, not sheet music
BRAVO!! I have tried for 30 years to master this movement, to no avail.....
