Bravo Maestro! I believe no one has ever shown so much understanding of Beethoven's legacy. I have a deep respect for Maestro Baremboim as a conductor, soloist, and human being. He has become imortal in the hall of fame of the great musicians of our time.
Not True! More colorful beautiful piano sound for Beethoven than Barenboim=Wilhelm Kempff Emil Gilels Radu Lupu Vladimir Ashkenazy Grigory Sokolov! More genius for Beethoven than Barenboim=Sviatoslav Richter Solomon Cutner Grigory Sokolov Maurizio Pollini! The Hard truth is Barenboim is a second-rated pianist! Barenboim is the most over-rated ever!!
@@RaineriHakkarainen Dear Raineri, Taken by the emotion of the Music I had just heard, I was stating my belief, my opinion if you want. And as such, it is true, just like all opinions and beliefs. In regards to beauty and colorfulness of execution, for Italian Romantic period music it can sometimes be measured as the more, the better executed. I was talking about Beethoven, a German Composer who never really abandoned Classicism, although he is rightly credited to the Romantic era. Again it is my opinion that to my ears great Maestro Daniel Barenboim always understood Beethoven more than anyone else in his time. The evidence of that is his remarkable legacy of so many anthological renditions that have been immortalized. It is not everyone that has accomplished so much in a life time. Of course that his talent was followed by his fame. It is true that I have not heard all the other players that you have mentioned. I was just saying that I have deep respect for his work and that Maestro Barenboim is my favorite Maestro, particularly when it comes to Beethoven's work. And that as a great human being he would probably never say to someone, as ignorant as that person might sound, that his/her beliefs were not true, either. Enjoy the Music!
@@PetriAdelheid-nt6md due to the advanced age and the responsibility to conduct the orchestra while being the soloist that execution may have been what one who has never been in such situation would laugh at. To my ears it was perfect. It is unbelievable that this discussion going on. Music is supposed to unite people, not make them jealous.
We wonder, we smile, we wave our head, our hand, just close your eyes. After all, thank you for becoming a composer, Beethoven. I feel a pure humanity through your music.
I have listened to this wonderful and unique performance and in previous comment failed to mention the superb orchestra and the their rapport with maestro Barenboim. Thank you all xxx
Brilliant performance by soloist and orchestra! The scene of Barenboim playing the cadenza with the audience behind him is amazing. Absolutely quiet, as if they're completely locked into the music.
La primera vez que escuche esta maravilla fue en el año 1955 .En los años 1970 escuche a Wilhelm Kempff , Claudio Arrau .Mas tarde a Bruno Gelber .Muy hermosas versiones . Pero hoy ya pasados tantos años me quedo con la version de este Fantastico Daniel Barenboim , lncreible , perfecta . No volvere a escuchar otra mejor ...👏👏👏👏👏👏🌹🌹..
Barenboim takes me to heaven and back into the depths of despair and back up to heaven again..... so tender when he needs to be, so fierce when it is required. Absolutely amazing. Thank you
This is the most extraordinary performance. Conducting, with no music, from memory, whilst playing the most amazing piano creating the most beautiful, exhilarating and moving music ever made. Sublime. The 2nd movement, my favourite (the B side of the vinyl), starts with such tender, stirring beauty. Uh, what more can I say.
I agree: it's astonishing to think that great conductors like Barenboim (and Zubin Mehta!) has SO many scores committed to memory. And it's like a double whammy that Barenboim plays AND conducts from the piano. Sometimes it almost seems like the highest human achievement to me.
@@almalopezbarroso1163 Well, it cannot be the god of the bible for the only noise it would make is one that would make your ears bleed, before shattering them in agony, without doubt, the most abhorrently disgusting character in fiction. Beethoven was supremely talented and incredibly hard working, please let us heap praise on the man rather than appealing to supernatural nonsense
@@almalopezbarroso1163 English is not your first language is it...... My initial response was not difficult to understand, so no idea why you are having any issues
We are all very lucky to be able to see and hear this performance at such close quarters. Barenboim, obviously more mature these days but still able to bring out new nuances in a beautiful performance and totally dedicated to the music. The orchestra is fabulous! If you want to make a critical comment perhaps you should read Barenboim’s biography to fully understand the depths of this man’s musical genius and his quest for humanity.
Quale grande dono di Dio quest'uomo che, eccezionale pianista e straordinario Direttore d'Orchestra, mi regala tante ore d'ascolto durante le quali il mio cuore vive veramente nella gioia e nella pace ed aspira all'Alto!
There is a place in Beethoven's heart , where the notes are born and raised , and by the time they grow up , each one carries it's own bag of emotions and jumps into sheets out of turn , creating complex eternal pieces
This is the very first classical piece I ever heard. Fifteen years old, Wrotham (Kent) Secondary school. I had never heard anything like it before and was immediately transported to another place. Hooked ever since! Thank you Mr Rush, for allowing this boy to embrace the classics. For that I will forever be in your debt!
Sir Daniel Barenboim,I would like to thank you for everything you offer us from your musical perspective.A complete balance between the essential parts as well the more "aggressive" ones.And all these put in unique technique. Soulfulness comes to finish the painting......ΕΥΧΑΡΙΣΤΩ!!
Die überragend beste Interpretation, die ich je gehört habe. Eine Sternstunde der Musik. Unser grosser Bruder Daniel Barenboim und alle Orchestermusiker brachten die durch unseren genialen Botschafter Beethoven übermittelten Inhalte saaagenhaft zum tönen. Ich habe stellenweise Rotz und Asche geheult.
I think it's incredible that he can play and conduct one after the after. He clearly feels the music and as a pianist that's what counts that you enjoy it and move the audience. The orchestra are wonderful as well, thanks for sharing. Such beauty...
Peter Klatzow, that is already a given, I think she was saying it’s amazing by human standards; after all, Beethoven is the god who created this piece. 😂
This must be one of the most divine piece of music ever made; so subtle, yet so powerful and emotional! What a talent and unbelievable that it is available for everyone to listen to. Even my still unborn baby girl responds with lots of movements every time I listen to this beautiful piece of work :)
Wenn's anstrengend ist, wenn alles wirklich zu viel wird, wenn's die Welt mit einem gerade nicht gut meint... dann hört man sich dieses Adagio an und alles wird leichter und beginnt zu schweben. Merci, Monsieur Barenboim! Merci Ludwig van!!!
En mi pueblo, era muy extraño cuando llegaba la música clásica; pero cuando tuve la oportunidad de comprar el disco de éste gran genio de la música: Beethoven, concierto No 5. Me enamoré aún más de la música clásica; es algo realmente bello, hermoso y muy sublime como Daniel Barenboim desarrollo esta interpretación, es impecable, es perfecto, y gracias por compartirlo, saludos desde mi pequeño pueblo, Mazatenango, Guatemala.
Muchas gracias por compartir tu historia con nosotros José Felipe :) Nos alegra mucho saber que disfrutas nuestro contenido. En este link puedes encontrar el concierto completo de Daniel Barenboim interpretando los Conciertos para Piano de Beethoven: goo.gl/pbsZpS
José Felipe, mi historia es parecida. Vivía en Oaxaca, era muchacho pobre, no tenía recursos y me juntaba con un grupo de amigos que nos reuníamos en un local y ahi lo unico que había para escuchar era un viejo fonografo, y los unicos discos uno pequeño de la marcha dragona, y el otro uno grande de la inconclusa de Shubert... y no había más. Cuando estaba solo, los ponía para escuchar algo, aunque no comprendía la música clásica, pero me atraía. Alguien me habló de la Sinfonia número 5 de Bethoven y en la primera oportunidad que tuve dinero, compre un disco con la sinfonía numero 5 del gran Bethoven, eran muy caros, porque eran todos importados y no tenía donde reproducir, pero lo guardaba como una joya.
In college my favorite piano concerto was Beethoven's 5 and now almost at 77 yrs old, it still is. I particularly and often enjoy your playing of this piece.
Without a doubt the greatest piano concerto ever written. This is an excellent rendition, to be sure although the recording with James Levine and Alfred Brendel remains the non plus ultra... IMHO. Thanks so much for sharing this!
Feliz de que nuestro compratriota argentino el Maestro Barenboim nos represente tan bien en el mundo entero, un placer escucharlo tocar el piano y también dirigiendo la orquesta.
It's the little things in classical music that get me. When the horns enter at 18:50 - it just captures such a perfect mood. Like a warm orange dawn after a cool summers night.
It's 2016! yet this great masterpiece of Beethoven sounded as fresh as ever!...masterful interpretation from one the greatest pianist of all time...Mr Baremboim.
Esta es una de las más perfectas interpretaciones que he escuchado de este concierto.Ni una décima de segundo más, ni una décima de segundo menos. Maravillosa!!!
Un gran placer volver a escuchar al Maestro Barenboim en tan hermoso concierto de Beethoven ,sus manos y su cabeza siempre logra sublimar lo que interpreta . Fabuloso 👏👏👍👍💞💖💖💓
pure admiration for Meastro Daniel Barenboim, Emperor is such a large piece of concerto, yet he chose the way, Beethoven would want the piece to be interpreted, Conductor and also the pianist, it is so difficult to achieve cohesion as well as musical interpretation at the same time, yet he pull it off, Bravo
A stunning exquisite performance. Beethoven remains in my opinion the pre-eminent classical composer of all time and the Emperor is one of his finest pieces. Barenboim is like a fine wine who has aged magnificently. Beethoven was a solid man with pudgy fingers. I can imagine him approving greatly of this interpretation.
Beethoven;s %th Concerto is not just a " PIECE"" of music it is the culmination of the human experience has no parallel nor equal...Beethoven here is not just writing music but a Human Testimony for the generations to come to elevate us over, hate, racism, greed, pain and human suffering..inflicted by another human for whatever reason
well said, I need to repeat this here: "a Human Testimony for the generations to come to elevate us over, hate, racism, greed, pain and human suffering..inflicted by another human for whatever reason ...... " I am working since 57 years to discover what it is, that: hate, racism, greed, pain and human suffering ..... could not find anything substantial in it, and still everyone believes in keeping it in their innermost core ......
I usually start out with Beethoven's music thinking "Oh, that sounds cool", just to be overwhelmed with emotions the 3rd or 4th time I listen to it and call friends to ask them to please listen to this masterpiece. It's becoming a familiar pattern.
I'm sad that you can't seem to hear the sublime and noble greatness in this work. Yes...it's merely my opinion, but Beethoven's 5th piano concerto stands up to repeated hearings without getting tiresome. I've listened to it 100s of times.
+David Topchiev David, I see what you're saying, but melodies can become tiresome and cloying upon repeated hearings whereas Beethoven's 5th Piano Concerto rises above all that like a giant. He has written something that goes to another realm entirely. It's unparalleled and it's GOOD that it can't be boiled down into clichéd melodies. Your point is actually why this piece does not tire easily. It's one of the most enduring concertos in the repertoire.
+David Topchiev David, I first heard this work on cassette tape when I was 16. I was transfixed and I played it over and over again. This piece is what got me hooked on classical music. Try listening to it five times in a row. It does have melodies and an ineffable flow and complex emotions, but they are all very well-woven and connected. Also, if you like Tchaikovsky (naturally I do as well), try listening to Shostakovich, too...especially his symphonies. You'll hear how Shostakovich has taken that Russian romanticism to a completely new and fresh level. His 4th is a good place to start. That got him in trouble with Stalin and the performance was delayed for nearly 30 years in the Soviet Union. Perhaps his 7th and 10th are the most accessible, but anything Shostakovich wrote was genius. Also, all real 'romantic' music of the 19th century stemmed from Beethoven. He was a revolutionary and his 3rd Symphony is a testimony to that. Happy listening!
Gracias por tu comentario Jorge! En este link puedes encontrar el concierto completo de Daniel Barenboim interpretando los Conciertos para Piano de Beethoven: goo.gl/pbsZpS :)
Just saw Barenboim live yesterday playing this same concerto in Berlin, and now watching this to attempt to re-live it. Outstanding, mindblown... brilliant technique, articulation and interpretation. TH-cam sound does no justice to how Maestro Barenboim sounds in the concert hall. Nonetheless, glad to play this as I work
I'm so jealous!! WOW, to see Barenboim live would be so wonderful. Although nothing can compare to a live performance, I'm thankful that there's so much classical music, interviews etc. on TH-cam.
I can sense the perfect form of art even in his facial expressions throughout..how exquisite that is..He always performs with his entire body and soul..
La musica me gusta toda, Beethoven es mi favorito de favoritos e interpretado por un Sr. Director como Barenboin es sublime, no hay palabras que expresen mi gratitud y a todos sus musicos y el hermoso publico , por todo ello muchas gracias.
Expressive, well interpreting, powerful bass support and clarity of high notes of Steinway piano, excellent orchestra players... I would say, PERFECT! 😍😍😍😍😍
One of the greates... is depending on many factors. All the musicians are great, and Mr. Barenboim is one of them. We are listenig music, not making hierarchy.
An inspired world class orchestra along with one of the best, maybe the best, piano soloists of our time staged before a likewise inspired audience to perform one of the maybe 5-10 best pieces of music ever written. So, that sets the level of expectations. Yet, I am stunned, over and over again by this performance.
People criticizing and acting like experts. And I am just sitting here admiring the way this pinaist genius plays chamber music with the distinguished artists of this orchestra in one of the most difficult piano concertos in the history of music. So much excellent musicianship in one recording.
Thanks to those that invented and refined musical instruments, Beethoven and those that taught him, the scientists who made it possible to have this played at my convenience in my bedroom, and the orchestra that is playing so well, (and everybody else involved in the process of bringing this music to my ears.)
La genialidad de Barenboim es que lo logra una perfecta comunicación musical entre su piano y la orquesta, no intenta sobrepasar a la orquesta, hace que la orquesta tenga su lugar adecuado de sonoridad frente a su piano, lo cual de por sí, es un logro para la perfección de la música que llega con tanto placer al oído de sus escuchas.
I talk as "pianist", but in these comments I've read only "Barenboim is fantastic, he plays the piano perfectly" So... can we talk about the orchestra?! They where fantastic! Absolutely well-done job, musicians!
I'm a late comer but, to me, one of the beauties of TH-cam is switching from one kind of music to another and reading the (normally) ecstatic comments. Yesterday I was reading astonishingly similar comments about Pink Floyd's Shine On You Crazy Diamond including references to the presence of God! I love them both and all the lovely comments. Thank you all.
In his youth he wasn't such a great pianist. He lacked real feeling, the true sign of a good musician. He was rather a technician. In the latter years, now, as he finally grew relatively old, he plays and now also conducts very well. His genius deceased wife - the incredibly gifted cellist Jeacqueline De Pre - he proved a rather bad husband to her, I think her life could be prolonged if she was married to a really loving man.His faithlessness is a black stain forever on him.
Was it necessary to bring that up. His personal life is his business not yours to spread gossip about. Tend to your affairs and let others take care of their own.
Me gusta mucho el concierto para piano número 5 de Beethoven, nunca me canso de escucharlo, especialmente el adagio. Pero esta interpretación me emocionó mucho, hasta las lágrimas.
Igen, így állva teljes szívből tapsolni lelkesen, ahogyan Daniel Barenboim is lélekből lelkesen tette, Beethoven leírhatatlanul szép 5. zongoraversenyét,köszönet és hála tölti be az ember szívét!
Thank you for uploading this magnificent concert. I was so sad for all performances of Kristyan Zimmerman/Bernstein have been recently removed. But now I can enjoy this again.
Beethoven never seizes me to be mesmerized and inspired of what he can do despite of his disabilities. If he lives in our time and if he can hear, he will see the greatness the he had made in his work...
Everytime I hear this genious concert I ask me-how is this possible to create and compose - how to create such deep Emotions - a immortal Genius Beethoven.
Saagenhaft. Hab so viele Interpretationes gehört, aber das hier haut mich einfach um. So sehr inspiriert, logisch, farbig, Orchester und Klavier in Balance und fein wunderbarem Wechselspiel (scheint mir bei diesem Werk an manchen Stellen schwer zu verwirklichen), Barenboim in Spiellaune. Oh, danke allen, auch Tontechniker und hihi Kameraführung - den Paukisten kenn ich, wohl aus Krimi- Filmen? Spass, er gefällt mir, und der Fagottist mit seinem einsamen Solo, man könnte ihn umarmen und und und.
Ohne Zweifel wirklich gut. Doch mein Favorit bleibt bei diesem Konzert Zimermann mit den Wiener Phihamonikern, gefolgt von Glenn Gould mit der Aufnahme von 1970. Grüße aus Paraguay.
Magnifique concerto de Beethoven, très connu mais toujours très apprécié, magistrale interprétation de Daniel Barenboim et des musiciens et très belle sonorité du piano, sans doute un Steinway.... Merci pour ce beau partage
Bravo Maestro!
I believe no one has ever shown so much understanding of Beethoven's legacy.
I have a deep respect for Maestro Baremboim as a conductor, soloist, and human being.
He has become imortal in the hall of fame of the great musicians of our time.

And Barenboim is able to do that because Beethoven took the time, amidst his great suffering, to write this sublime music.
Wat een groot musicus-dirigent is de heer Daniel Barenboim met zijn verheven magnifiek orkest ! Dank.
No notes. Barenboim knows the entire concerto by heart. He can conduct an orchestra and play the piano part simultaneously. What a genius!

Beethoven;s %th Concerto is not just a " PIECE"" of music it is the culmination of the human experience has no parallel nor equal...Beethoven here is not just writing music but a Human Testimony for the generations to come to elevate us over, hate, racism, greed, pain and human suffering..inflicted by another human for whatever reason
zeer mooi gezegd ...
well said, I need to repeat this here: "a Human Testimony for the generations to come to elevate us over, hate, racism, greed, pain and human suffering..inflicted by another human for whatever reason ...... " I am working since 57 years to discover what it is, that: hate, racism, greed, pain and human suffering ..... could not find anything substantial in it, and still everyone believes in keeping it in their innermost core ......
Genius is not too strong a word! Beethoven - Genius! Barenboim - Genius! Staatskapelle - Genius!
I usually start out with Beethoven's music thinking "Oh, that sounds cool", just to be overwhelmed with emotions the 3rd or 4th time I listen to it and call friends to ask them to please listen to this masterpiece. It's becoming a familiar pattern.
I totally agree with you 😉
Beethoven always fills me with joy and happiness. Particularly the 3rd and 6th symphonies, and this concerto.
+Martin Albers and violin concerto too :)
Yes Ops 61 included
the most expressive and best version I have heard. Gould just flies through it. I prefer this one
Perhaps the best piano concerto ever written and Barenboim is great.
I'm sad that you can't seem to hear the sublime and noble greatness in this work. Yes...it's merely my opinion, but Beethoven's 5th piano concerto stands up to repeated hearings without getting tiresome. I've listened to it 100s of times.
+David Topchiev 'Generic' sounds pejorative. Why not say it goes beyond description? Beethoven wrote something so great that it can't be put in words!
+David Topchiev David, I see what you're saying, but melodies can become tiresome and cloying upon repeated hearings whereas Beethoven's 5th Piano Concerto rises above all that like a giant. He has written something that goes to another realm entirely. It's unparalleled and it's GOOD that it can't be boiled down into clichéd melodies. Your point is actually why this piece does not tire easily. It's one of the most enduring concertos in the repertoire.
+David Topchiev David, I first heard this work on cassette tape when I was 16. I was transfixed and I played it over and over again. This piece is what got me hooked on classical music. Try listening to it five times in a row. It does have melodies and an ineffable flow and complex emotions, but they are all very well-woven and connected. Also, if you like Tchaikovsky (naturally I do as well), try listening to Shostakovich, too...especially his symphonies. You'll hear how Shostakovich has taken that Russian romanticism to a completely new and fresh level. His 4th is a good place to start. That got him in trouble with Stalin and the performance was delayed for nearly 30 years in the Soviet Union. Perhaps his 7th and 10th are the most accessible, but anything Shostakovich wrote was genius. Also, all real 'romantic' music of the 19th century stemmed from Beethoven. He was a revolutionary and his 3rd Symphony is a testimony to that. Happy listening!

La interpretación de Barenboim es perfecta. La orquesta excelente. Que gran concierto No 5. Para la memoria. Siempre lo tendré como referente.
Gracias por tu comentario Jorge! En este link puedes encontrar el concierto completo de Daniel Barenboim interpretando los Conciertos para Piano de Beethoven: goo.gl/pbsZpS :)
Just saw Barenboim live yesterday playing this same concerto in Berlin, and now watching this to attempt to re-live it. Outstanding, mindblown... brilliant technique, articulation and interpretation. TH-cam sound does no justice to how Maestro Barenboim sounds in the concert hall. Nonetheless, glad to play this as I work
I'm so jealous!! WOW, to see Barenboim live would be so wonderful. Although nothing can compare to a live performance, I'm thankful that there's so much classical music, interviews etc. on TH-cam.
I can sense the perfect form of art even in his facial expressions throughout..how exquisite that is..He always performs with his entire body and soul..
A great man of music. The world is richer for his presence
La musica me gusta toda, Beethoven es mi favorito de favoritos e interpretado por un Sr. Director como Barenboin es sublime, no hay palabras que expresen mi gratitud y a todos sus musicos y el hermoso publico , por todo ello muchas gracias.
Expressive, well interpreting, powerful bass support and clarity of high notes of Steinway piano, excellent orchestra players... I would say, PERFECT! 😍😍😍😍😍
One of the greates... is depending on many factors. All the musicians are great, and Mr. Barenboim is one of them. We are listenig music, not making hierarchy.
dan gabriel noch ein
I think it's incredible that Barenboim can play and conduct one after the after and thanks god for Beethoven's music.
What a maestro is Barenboim, and what a magnificent orchestra is the Staatskapelle Berlin!!!
the lightness even at 33:56
And what a wonderful sounds comes from that piano 🖤
An inspired world class orchestra along with one of the best, maybe the best, piano soloists of our time staged before a likewise inspired audience to perform one of the maybe 5-10 best pieces of music ever written. So, that sets the level of expectations. Yet, I am stunned, over and over again by this performance.
People criticizing and acting like experts. And I am just sitting here admiring the way this pinaist genius plays chamber music with the distinguished artists of this orchestra in one of the most difficult piano concertos in the history of music. So much excellent musicianship in one recording.
Very much agree👍
but i think no experts will act like that :v
Beethoven piano concerto no 3 Barenboim
Classical music
I very like classical music .I hope that a lot of violin performance are present here.thanks to you,
Completely agree with you, as I think most reasonable people will. People on the internet love to come across as experts. Barenboim is a genius!
Just total rapturous : what a privilege to be able to see this incredible performance. Bravo x 1000
He seems possessed by the music. He and the orchestra are one. Thanks you, Mr. Barenboim, for your wonderful contribution.
Thanks to those that invented and refined musical instruments, Beethoven and those that taught him, the scientists who made it possible to have this played at my convenience in my bedroom, and the orchestra that is playing so well, (and everybody else involved in the process of bringing this music to my ears.)
La genialidad de Barenboim es que lo logra una perfecta comunicación musical entre su piano y la orquesta, no intenta sobrepasar a la orquesta, hace que la orquesta tenga su lugar adecuado de sonoridad frente a su piano, lo cual de por sí, es un logro para la perfección de la música que llega con tanto placer al oído de sus escuchas.
A very special person
Thank You EuroArtsChannel for this beautiful concert
I'm flying! 2nd Movement: 21:06. 3rd Movement: 28:39.
Palpitating. This is what is meant by 'takes my breath away'.
Amo profundamente esse concerto.💚💛🇧🇷💙
I talk as "pianist", but in these comments I've read only "Barenboim is fantastic, he plays the piano perfectly"
So... can we talk about the orchestra?! They where fantastic! Absolutely well-done job, musicians!
THANKS GOD FOR BEETHOVEN!!!
I'm a late comer but, to me, one of the beauties of TH-cam is switching from one kind of music to another and reading the (normally) ecstatic comments. Yesterday I was reading astonishingly similar comments about Pink Floyd's Shine On You Crazy Diamond including references to the presence of God! I love them both and all the lovely comments. Thank you all.
as a Pianist he is brilliant - I met him 1979 in Menthon - he is a Genius
In his youth he wasn't such a great pianist. He lacked real feeling, the true sign of a good musician.
He was rather a technician.
In the latter years, now, as he finally grew relatively old, he plays and now also conducts very well.
His genius deceased wife - the incredibly gifted cellist Jeacqueline De Pre - he proved a rather bad husband
to her, I think her life could be prolonged if she was married to a really loving man.His faithlessness is a black stain forever on him.
Was it necessary to bring that up. His personal life is his business not yours to spread gossip about. Tend to your affairs and let others take care of their own.
Robert shawannother worth for stupidity
robert shaw you are unnesserly over sensitive , comment toward someone is nasty !!!
Me gusta mucho el concierto para piano número 5 de Beethoven, nunca me canso de escucharlo, especialmente el adagio. Pero esta interpretación me emocionó mucho, hasta las lágrimas.
Somos muchos más que dos. Alucinante! Magnífico! Regio! Maravilloso!
a pinnacle of human intellect and talent
ph
Igen, így állva teljes szívből tapsolni lelkesen, ahogyan Daniel Barenboim is lélekből lelkesen tette, Beethoven leírhatatlanul szép 5. zongoraversenyét,köszönet és hála tölti be az ember szívét!
The performance and the piece are beautiful. Mr Daniel Barenboim is spectacular:both conducting and playing the piano
Kiss me mommy
Thank you for uploading this magnificent concert. I was so sad for all performances of Kristyan Zimmerman/Bernstein have been recently removed. But now I can enjoy this again.
Sublime como todo lo de Beethoven, una interpretacion de Barenboim fantastica.!!!!!
Beethoven never seizes me to be mesmerized and inspired of what he can do despite of his disabilities. If he lives in our time and if he can hear, he will see the greatness the he had made in his work...
Simply, oustanding! One of the best performance of this concerto!
Barenboim the best musician on earth.
Awesome concerto!!! Barenboin and orquestra are both superb!!!
Everytime I hear this genious concert I ask me-how is this possible to create and compose - how to create such deep Emotions - a immortal Genius Beethoven.
que orgullo de que sea Argentino, nos llenas de orgullo Daniel. Sos un grande!
Magistral!! Como la vida misma!
No hay aplausos suficientes... para expresar la excelencia y VIDA!
Gracias euroart!!
Saagenhaft. Hab so viele Interpretationes gehört, aber das hier haut mich einfach um. So sehr inspiriert, logisch, farbig, Orchester und Klavier in Balance und fein wunderbarem Wechselspiel (scheint mir bei diesem Werk an manchen Stellen schwer zu verwirklichen), Barenboim in Spiellaune.
Oh, danke allen, auch Tontechniker und hihi Kameraführung - den Paukisten kenn ich, wohl aus Krimi- Filmen? Spass, er gefällt mir, und der Fagottist mit seinem einsamen Solo, man könnte ihn umarmen und und und.
Finde Barenboim wäre ein Kandidat für den Friedensnobelpreis
Ohne Zweifel wirklich gut. Doch mein Favorit bleibt bei diesem Konzert Zimermann mit den Wiener Phihamonikern, gefolgt von Glenn Gould mit der Aufnahme von 1970.
Grüße aus Paraguay.
Magnifique concerto de Beethoven, très connu mais toujours très apprécié, magistrale interprétation de Daniel Barenboim et des musiciens et très belle sonorité du piano, sans doute un Steinway.... Merci pour ce beau partage
