At 98 when most pianists are doubled over with arthritis and scoliosis here's Pressler making beautiful music in one of Mozart's most glorious concertos. Bravo, Maestro.
There is a certain quality in Mozarts piano concertos that I perhaps too late have found. The simple profundity in it. When I listen to Menahem Pressler ( Rest in peace, maestro) this quality is clear to me. He had this ability to play Mozart as it was his own music. This performance took place in 2018. He was born 16 december 1923, Magdeburg, Germany. A refugee during and after the second world war. But he carried this Mozart with him. And died this may 2023. Almost 100 years old. What a life!
I gotta be honest with you, I'm not sure Beethoven and Mozart were humans, and I'm not even kidding. I believe Beethoven's greatness is the highest level music can reach, every symphony he did is better than anything else ever done by a composer and the 9th seems to be the perfect (literally perfect) way to show that this is the absolute divine level music can reach. After Beethoven, comes Mozart, and Mozart piano concertos and works for violin are better than Beethoven's. The rest of composers, musicians, any music artists you can think of, are utter garbage close to these 2. I'm not saying I don't love them, I love Tchaikowsky, but in his whole career Tchaikovsky (or any other you can think of) couldn't achieve the number of great moments Beethoven would achieve in any symphony you can think of. I research composers, ancient and new, all the time. I see some people talking about Mahler's symphonies, yes, they're awesome, I've listened to them all, actually I would listen to them for days in a row to try to understand if I was missing something, but no, Beethoven and Mozart had something beyond human. Sometimes I think I should stop looking for greatness and just stick to listen to Beethoven and Mozart over and over because all other music is inferior and might be poisoning.
@@samaldini Everyone has to find his own musical path, and if it is Beethoven and Mozart for you, just concentrate on them. And thank you for your letter and your thoughts. I myself always find new paths in the forest, or old, one of them is Sibelius, another Schostakovich. And of course Schubert. In my forest I also find Bachs and Brahms footsteps. And many others whose path is not so recognizable. So this forest is still a mystery to me, well worth to experience. But as I get older I tend to take the more usual paths through this forest, like the Mozart path or the Beethoven path. Never disappointed, always refreshed.
@@samaldini И Моцарт и Бетховен очень прекрасны. Необыкновенная глубина и страданий и радости и божественной просветлённости. Но, извините, музыка Чайковского так прекрасна! Оё -ёй! Он не говорит, не шепчет как, как изливается Моцарт в своей глубине или в своей высоте Бетховен, то Чайковский открытым текстом - стонет, надрывает, зовёт к прекрасному. Он спорит с судьбой в большом надрыве и уступает в этой борьбе- Ничего нет прекраснее для меня его6 симфонии. Но и Моцарт в исполнении этого пианиста- прекрасен. Ведь у Моцарта столько страданий , трагичности в музыке, это не все понимают, чувствуют пианисты...
Ein so begnadeter Pianist ❤. Ich hatte das große Glück Herrn Pressler live zu hören, da war er 92 Jahre - seine Hände spielten mit den Tasten und mit und in ihm war Mozarts Musik - ein unbeschreiblicher Zauber - ruhe nun in Frieden - mein Herz sagt Danke ❤
Can't hardly belive what I see an hear: brain, soul and hands wonderfully coordinated. I am full of admiration. Thank you, Maestro Pressler! Marianne (CH)
You get the sense that this esteemed pianist has played this piece before, for, seriously, he lives and breathes it with his immense musical spirit and artistry. What inspiration and sharing of his incredible wisdom. Mozart lives under his knowing fingertips.
As it did Stalin's; reputedly, it was what he put on when he knew he was dying. The irony is that it was a recording by Marina Yudina, who told him where he could stick the Stalin Medal he offered her ...
Без Моцарта нельзя прожить и дня! Главное думать, жить, творить, мечтать, как великий Моцарт! Низкий поклон творцу , пробуждающему шедевр музыки - Менахему Пресслеру! Только БРАВО!!! СПАСИБО!
In Mozart's day, few if any people lived into their 90's, yet it usually takes until a pianist is 90 to attain the vital depth to truly play Mozar. Bravo, Maestro Pressler!! In a way, like Mozart, you live forever.
I have nothing to add, except for my profound appreciation of one of the best Musicians playing one of the best Compositions by the best Classical Composer❤. . . Thank you, Menachem!
Menahem Pressler is truly amazing. I miss his presence and influence very much. I always felt that I was in touch with his genius. Rest I Peace dear Man.
Even if he in his life mostly played chamber music I find this consert, Mozart´s Piano Consert nr 23, the best I have heard. Also regarding his age at this uptaking, and the fact he was a refugee from Germany during the World War 2, searching a new life in another world, taking Mozart with him as another refugee. But music is never a refugee, it will always grow on whatever ground it is planted, and in his playing Menahem Pressler proves this is true. I cannot stop loving this interpretation because I find it a natural and sincere way of playing Mozart.
Ευχαριστούμε την "DW Classical Music" ...Είναι τιμή μας να ακούμε ζωντανά ένα βιρτουόζο 98 ετών. Να είναι υγιής και πολύχρονος..!! Thanks to "DW Classical Music" ...It's an honor to hear a 98-year-old virtuoso live. May he be healthy and long-lived..!!
Grande semplicita, ma nello stesso tempo intensità emotiva a grandi livelli, questa magnifica interpretazione di uno splendido Mozart. Adorabile Pressler ! ❤❤❤
Божественно, невыносимо, невообразимо божественно. Слезы льются рекой, нет бурным потоком. Кто посмел кощунственно Моцарта назвать не первым. Он единственный и чистейший исток божественной музыки. И только он.
Wunderschöne Aufführung dieses perfekt komponierten Konzerts mit warmherzigem Klang des unvergleichlichen Soloklaviers sowie gut harmonisierten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt tiefempfunden. Im Kontrast klingt der dritte Satz echt lebhaft und auch inspirierend. Der intelligente und geniale Dirigent leitet das perfekt trainierte Orchester im angemessenen Tempo und mit angenehmer Dynamik. Wahrlich hörenswert!
Beautiful presentation of this orchestra,to play together with such a late piano Maestro. Mozart became so much alive. At such an age, he still executed this part beautifully. Rest in peace Maestro. Never too late to find legacy you left behind....
Огромное огромное! Браво!!! Моцарт! Гениальные дирижёр и солисты оркестра! Пианист-творец от Бога, вдохнувший жизнь в мелодику Моцарта! Мир живёт! Мир творит! Планета Земля ещё крутится...браво!!!💐💐🕊🕊
Every note is cherished....he is absolutely involved of telling us his magnificent interpretation of the meaning what music is all about, alles Gute, Gesundheit und weitere Konzerte....❤️🎶
Absolutely beautiful, brilliant, STAR pianist. Just look at his perfect finger movement, love, love it. Menahem Pressler is now in HEAVEN in God's Keeping playing his wonderful Mozart Concertos. I listen to them frequently and never tire of watching his fingers gliding effortlessly along the piano key board. Thank you with all my heart Menahem Pressler.
He is like Yoda - can hardly walk, but once he taps into the Force, oh what a performance! So happy that the greatest pianists (also Horowitz and Rubinstein) were able and willing to perform into very old age.
Well said! I agree that it's astonishing that someone in his mid-90s at the time of this performance, who is so frail he needs assistance getting to the piano, can sit down and play as if he's decades younger! Bravo!!
Grandísimo Maestro!!!!!!!!!! Un prodigio de la naturaleza humana, reservado para pocos!!!!!!!!!! Siempre estará en mi recuerdo, gracias por difundir estás maravillas!!!!!!!
Music is certainly among the most powerful spirts to move the human mind and soul. I recently saw an aged star who has endured poor health and a stroke which has limited his cognitive abilities. With the kind assistance of a friend, a younger lady who lovingly accompanied him on stage. As she began playing, he joined in with her, his abilities awakened and some of his old bravado returned. It was amazing to see, and it reminds one of the power of music. May Maestro Pressler RIP in that he brought such joy to so many.
From psychology we know that the last thing consciousness looses is professional skills. You can forget your name and where you live, you can stop recognizing your kids, but you'll be in profession to your last days. He barely moves and it takes efforts from him to change face expression. Still his fingers are flying! Man!
He was around 94 here. Amazing how his fingers still flowed flawlessly. Rest in Paradise now maestro ❤️
