The Florence recital isn't available on CD anymore?
Rest in peace Maestro Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli ❤❤❤❤❤❤Giuseppe Perego Monza 16.2.1962 Grazie
Quando Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli vinse a 19 il Concorso di Ginevra, Alfred Cortot disse:" E' nato un nuovo Liszt!!!" ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉Giuseppe
Es uno de los pianistas más fabulosos y sus interpretaciones son siempre magistrales. Pero esta versión del primer cuaderno de las Variaciones sobre un tema de Paganini de Brahms es literalmente asombrosa.
I love this piece and have heard it played by many during the years... but this performance is the one we always come back to...Wonderfull! And he played it up to the last years just like this, a dream!
Really? When and where did you hear him play in the last years?
Grazie maestro per tutto quello che hai insensato sei il più grande pianista. Cl manchi tanto….
One of my favorite pianists of ALL TIME!

6:48 var 11 & 12 book 1 (PURE MAGIC WTF)
Stupendous playing!
Al di là dell'umano ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉Giuseppe
Genial, präzise und magisch.
Alles liebe aus monte leone
Played with great abandon! This recording is particularly satisfying because ABM chose to include Var 14 from Book 1 at the end. Thank you for sharing this with us!
Yes indeed! In our opinion, it is his finest recording of this work.
@@ClassicalPianoRarities Yes, absolutely. There is a handful of other pianists who can handle the piece technically. But Michelangeli also plays it with sublime beauty.
We’re searching for recorded recitals featuring works new to his discography, like the Liszt Polonaise No 2.
The full recital is available on our CD issue. Link in the description.

Absolutely wonderful! Thank you very much for this. The sound quality is quite good, and I've ordered my copy of this stirring performance already. Thank you for the upload, and for the CD!
Yes indeed. This performance has been circulating for years, we’re very happy to have found this superior source and tracked down the exact date.
More to come!
Let us know how you like the rest of the concert when you listen to it. Cheers!
Superb
He is just fa
Ntastic. Never heard anything alike
We seem to hear a violon playing from time to time.
He really could get whatever he wanted from his piano, thats what he said
Actually the full Arezzo recital was available many years ago on Vinyl. It is such a pleasure to hear it again here. Absolutely amazing. Thank you for posting it. The same record company released in the same year a recital Michelangeli gave in Warsaw when he was member of the Chopin Festival jury. Do you have it? It was also a great one and, quite strangely, Michelangeli played 5 encores!
Ah, but this is Florence Feb 11, 1952 not Arezzo.
It’s an entirely different recital. Complete recording is available here: www.trepstar.com/purchase.asp?idprod=291590&mode=itemlist

i did`nt know that exraterrestrials actually exist ...........
well --- i just heard one !
Didn't know he played these... played book two about four years ago... working on book one now...
A staple in his repertoire since the 1930’s....
@@ClassicalPianoRarities I think... this might be my favorite performance... I DO LOVE Emil Gilels version...
Gilels played both books but only recorded Book I. He famously programmed both books in the 1930’s and 40’s, that must have been quite astonishing.
@@ClassicalPianoRarities BUT... there's a LIVE video of him playing BOTH books...!
Gilels only plays book 1 on video. There is no know recording of him in book 2, which he did not program after the 40’s.
I’ve never understood why Michelangeli, in every recording of this piece, omits 10 bars of the last variation (the ones before the trill). Anyway, spectacular recording!
Possibly because that part is unpianistic!
Classical Piano Rarities 🎹 I perfectly agree that that part is unpianistic, but in my personal opinion an executor should faithfully stick to the score. Anyway, I repeat that this is a magnificent execution, certainly one of the best of this piece.
Sure! However, Brahms himself approved when Rosenthal played his own ordering. Horowitz also played selections from both books until 1942.
Classical Piano Rarities 🎹 Thank you very much for the information, I didn’t know that!
It would be impossible to play at his tempo
MICHELANGELI IS GOD !!!!!
Happy you liked it. More to come!

Interesting. Where did the original come from? Where did you obtain and how did you obtain the master?
We do not have an “original source”, only a WAV transfer of the private tape. This was circulating amongst collectors since 2012 or so... the Ravel Valses nobles et sentimentales which was on the program - is missing.
@@ClassicalPianoRarities What I am trying to understand, is the "original source", which even you have in quotation marks - how can one verify the authenticity? By now I would think copyright has expired so it would be interesting to know the "source".
We have the concert programs, and several copies of this private tape. The playing is extremely similar to the Arezzo 1952, and is clearly Michelangeli. His tone and style is inimitable. It is also his unique reordering of the variations.
@@ClassicalPianoRarities Thank you for the quick responses. I was fortunate to have heard him at Carnegie Hall in 1966. He came on over an hour late (as often he did), but he DID come on. At a certain point, the union turned all the lights on and probably went home. And although he rarely played encores, he played, "La Cathedrale Engloutie"
Awesome performance... but I disagree with "This is in far better sound than the published Arezzo recording from that same year, ", Archipel had released the Arezzo recital in excellent audio quality (for the time), in my honest opinion, better than the one here... Of course it's a very hard to find album :)
Thank you for the info! We will look for the Archipel release of the 1952 Arezzo.
is there a way to obtain the michelangeli concertography?
I've seen one before but can't find it at the moment.
Han dovuto sacrificare pure il suono di Michelangeli pur di togliere l’applauso (immagino scrosciante) per questa castrazione emotiva inferta brutalmente all'ascoltatore! Decisione priva di senno!!!! Non potrò più ascoltare questa miracolosa registrazione!!!! In nome di che cosa è stato fatto questo taglio!? Follia pura in nome di che cosa solo Dio può sapere!!!!!!!!
You can’t listen to the recording because the last note cuts off a bit and the applause was not fully captured by the Radio station?
😂
Fa ridere? Son contento per lei... Le auguro un giorno un coitus interruptus... 😂
Why thank you. How rude of you. At any rate, your comments will stay up.
There is a performance from Arezzo, 1952 with the last note intact:

We hope it satisfies you. Have a good day now.
scusi, MYPIANORARITIES, in effetti c'è un 'leggero' taglio, ma non è così drammatico, Newly many tks to Classical Piano Rarities- Tiziana da Genova!
Mi consenta Signora Capuano, a prescindere da quello che può essere l'aspetto più o meno "drammatico", che è legato alla soggettività di ciascuno di noi, quel che rimane di OGGETTIVO è la scriteriata decisione di tagliare l'ultima nota, poiché da qualsiasi punto di vista lo si guardi, non produce effetti migliorativi, anzi solo fortemente negativi! Si è operato così in nome della purezza, dell'integrità del suono? Follia: tagli e integrità sono termini inconciliabili, ovvero degli ossimori! Per coerenza andrebbero eliminati allora anche i colpi di tosse, durante l'esecuzione! Altra follia!!! Non solo, arte è sinonimo di comunicazione e come tale il miracoloso documento sonoro qui postato RECIDE incoscientemente (si spera) l'abnorme emozione, che "contagia" l'ascoltatore parimenti a chi ha assistito dal vivo a quel Brahms, come un virus! E il paragone con la castrazione e/o il coito interrotto non aveva intenti offensivi; certamente era una affermazione forte, ma spesso capita che l'estremizzazione rappresenta sovente la maniera migliore al fine di riuscire a far comprendere concetti lapalissiani, come quello di cui sopra, ma apparentemente poco decifrabili. La domanda la rivolgo nuovamente, visto che non ho ottenuto risposta, dato che si è privilegiato l'aspetto soggettivo dell'essere più o meno "drammatico" quel taglio sugli ascoltatori: IN NOME DI CHE COSA si è agito e/o tentato di salvaguardare con tale scriteriata operazione??? In nome del nulla glielo posso garantire! Fra l'altro è la seconda volta che mi capita ascoltando Benedetti Michelangeli: la prima avvenne quando diversi anni fa una celebre casa discografica (pure ai vertici accadono simili scempi) decise che era "meglio" censurare (alla stessa maniera) l'ultima nota del Concerto per pianoforte e orchestra di Schumann con un Michelangeli diciottenne, esordiente alla Carnagie Hall in un recital diretto da Mitropoulos!
