Friedrich Gulda (16 May 1930 - 27 January 2000) was an Austrian pianist and composer who worked in both the classical and jazz fields.
Born in Vienna as the son of a teacher, Gulda began learning to play the piano from Felix Pazofsky at the Wiener Volkskonservatorium, aged 7. In 1942, he entered the Vienna Music Academy, where he studied piano and musical theory under Bruno Seidlhofer and Joseph Marx.
He won first prize at the Geneva International Music Competition in 1946. Initially, the jury preferred the Belgian pianist Lode Backx, but when the final vote was taken, Gulda was the winner. One of the jurors, Eileen Joyce, who favoured Backx, stormed out and claimed the other jurors were unfairly influenced by Gulda's supporters. Gulda began to play concerts worldwide. He made his Carnegie Hall debut in 1950. Together with Jörg Demus and Paul Badura-Skoda, Gulda formed what became known as the "Viennese troika".
Although most famous for his Mozart and Beethoven interpretations, Gulda also performed the music of J. S. Bach (often on clavichord), Schubert, Chopin, Schumann, Debussy and Ravel. His recordings of Bach's Well Tempered Clavier are well regarded by collectors. Apart from the Well Tempered Clavier, Gulda performed very few other pieces by Bach and recorded even fewer. Gulda's later reliance on co-operating with companies whose recording techniques were primitive in comparison to those espoused by more sophisticated rivals stood him in very poor stead with regard to posterity. The rescued Mozart sonata tapes issued on DG are unbelievably bad in terms of recorded technical quality; likewise the Debussy Preludes and Bach recordings of the late 60s and early 70s.
From the 1950s on Gulda cultivated an interest in jazz, writing several songs and instrumental pieces, and at times combining jazz and classical music in his concerts. In 1956, he performed at Birdland in New York City and at the Newport Jazz Festival. He organized the International Competition for Modern Jazz in 1966, and he established the International Musikforum, a school for students who wanted to learn improvisation, in Ossiach, Austria, in 1968. He once said: "There can be no guarantee that I will become a great jazz musician, but at least I shall know that I am doing the right thing. I don't want to fall into the routine of the modern concert pianist's life, nor do I want to ride the cheap triumphs of the Baroque bandwagon."
In jazz, he found "the rhythmic drive, the risk, the absolute contrast to the pale, academic approach I had been taught." He also took up playing the baritone saxophone.
Phillips Records included Gulda in its Great Pianists of the 20th Century CD box set, which came out in 1999. His piano students included Martha Argerich, who called Gulda "my most important influence," and the conductor Claudio Abbado.
He expressed a wish to die on the birthday of Mozart, the composer he most adored, and did so. He died of heart failure at the age of 69 on 27 January 2000 at his home in Weissenbach, Austria. Gulda is buried in the cemetery of Steinbach am Attersee, Austria. He was married twice, first to Paola Loew and then to Yuko Wakiyama. Two of his three sons, Paul and Rico Gulda, one from each of his marriages, are accomplished pianists.

Gulda was a pure musician and that indicates any kind of music. And it indicates also the ability to compose works like he did. And Schif played Maestro Guldas music awesome! A masterpiece!
Gulda is a unique genius he breaks the rule of unforbiden music and combined pure Classical music and Jazz tunes, beste 👍
It is composed for Heinrich and absolutely it belongs to him forever !
RIP my friend.
TheOpencello he's amazing...also check out Edgar Moreau w/jongNBE at Cello Biennale/Amsterdam :)
Ja, der Geist spricht, dass sie ruhen von ihrer Arbeit, denn ihre Werke folgen Ihnen nach. Maybe Friedrich und Heinrich are still playing this concerto together somewehere...
@@plumb.474 Oh my gosh - you are listening and watching to the greatest performance of that concerto ever, and try to promote the soulless one of someone who seems to just play the notes, not the character of the piece at all.
How much does Moreau pay you for your two postings of promotion?
This is so strange, and stunningly beautiful! THIS is pure joy....
gulda was a crazy genius.
The best concert in history. Perhaps simply because you can't compare it to anything else!
Thanks so much for the upload.
Heard this piece for the first time last night performed by the Grant Park Symphony and Edgar Moreau as the soloist. Beautiful and fun!! Gulda seems like he was quite a character.
Only a great talent who comes from both the Jszz world and the Classical world could write this. Ear openning.
I JUST discovered Gulda's music thanks to a clip of this concerto showing up in my Instagram feed.
So the last few days have been a musical rabbit hole.
This makes three composers that I was late to the party in discovering: Gulda, Finzi, and Gorecki
That first movement would work so well in a Quentin Tarantino film
I CAN SEE IT OMG
Some kid pretended to play the finale in a UA-cam video back in the old days of UA-cam. Had it not been for that I never would have known about this. That kid is a hero.
Me too saw it in like 2008 xD
OMG NO WONDER IT SOUNDED SO FAMILIAR
That minuet is simply sublime. And that entire work is SOO much fun.
Good days where the orchestra didn't play perfect together but in the highest level of music. Love Gulda
Senza parole...Gulda è un Genio, lo amo!
Damn........ I'm speechless.
It's like a Rhapsody of Genre, very interesting and coool
Marvellous! Virtuosic and great fun at the same time.
I love the way the composer completely lets himself go in the last 3 minutes. :-)
Von einem genialen Compositeur ein grandioses Stück Musik für einen genialen Cellisten; tolles Begleitorchester. Einmalige Aufführung.
Dievīgs, burvīgs koncerts ,un izpildījums.BRAVO! Super!:)
Great concert, great performance!
Onbeschrijfelijk mooi. Op vr.28 dec 2018 heeft de Koninklijke Harmonie St.Cecilia van Schelle (bij Antwerpen) onder leiding van Dirk De Caluwe dit werk gespeeld tijdens hun jaarlijks Klank Kleur Concert. Justus Grimm was de cello solist. Het was een fantastisch concert, een meesterlijke uitvoering, om nooit te vergeten.
Genie ( Bach-/Mozart-/Beethoven-/Chopin-Spieler und Jazzmusiker) Gulda sagte im Interview: "I mach' koa' Spassettl! I hab Humor und der Herr Haydn hatte a Humor!" - Schiff war ebenso ein kongenialer Cellist, Musiker und Künstler. Tolles Konzert. Gulda mochte ebenso die Blaskapellen-Musik am Attersee, wo Er irgendwann wohnte. Das die dann nicht gar so oft ein "Menuett" spielen, ist klar. Das Werk insgesamt ist absolut durchdacht, seriös und ernstzunehemen. Tolle Komposition. Phantastisches Konzert. Schade, dass Gulda und Schiff sich in die Haare bekamen nach diesem Riesen Erfolg. R.I.P. Gulda & Schiff. Und falls es einen Himmel gibt, hoffe ich, daß Ihr beiden Genies und Haudegen gemeinsam Musik spielt.
So was Schönes habe ich noch nie gehört!!!🤗
Herrliche Aufführung in Idealbesetzung!
Gulda is an excellent composer!This cello concerto is verry beautiful.I like the first movement.
Amazing
Eine Bereicherung für das Blasorchester!
Ok, I did not expect THAT first movement from a piece called "Cello concerto" XD Very refreshing :)))
At first I was lile wtf but this piece is like a jam
@@nickdavis965 True :)
Breathtaking...
Best concert ever
Im sorry but did anyone see that ending? his arms flew in the right spot and right on beat and it was just flawless.
Gulda genio assoluto!
I know it never happened, but I simply imagine a performance of this with Rostropovich, Bernstein and the Vienna Phil.
That would have definitely been quite something
One of the best ...
Great!
Genial
Maravilloso!
That was fun!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Gee, I'm gonna miss Mr. Schiff. His was the only greatest schizophrenic rendition of Schumann's Cello Concerto that played with such soulful turmoil. And, this piece: touche!
FANTASTİC MUSİC
Veeeery nice
Just found out that the Minuet (20.20) is the base for the great movie Necronomicon / Succubus by Jess Franco of 1968
UNVERGESSLICH und UNVERGLEICHLICH..in Memoriam
Grande libero musicista Gulda!
Thanks Maestro!
Orchestras, the only place you will see a drummer wearing a suit. LOL
not true: Ringo Starr of the Beatles...
You need watch jazz combos more ; - )
It's to cover up the tattoos. It isn't formal suit like the rest of the orchestra. The guitarist is scruffy by comparison.
Es el Gulda de 1988, innovador y "jazzístico"´, mucho más que eso. Magnifico.
Cadenza grande from H.S., miss the times with F.G. on the chess table
And to think that the string players in our orchestra throw a hissy fit when water or other liquids accidently hit their instruments from the stage... Look at the amount of sweat he is pouring on that thing!
この作品の音（ＣＤ）を買いそびれたことを不覚に思う！
Not to forget Heinrich Schiff was the Cellist.
So cool! They should have put an amp on the cello though, so hard to hear him with a WIND ORCHESTRA in the back! Still a very interesting idea, pretty well executed. :)
Wahnsinn!!! 👍👍👍
Genius
カデンツァの時の指揮者腕組んで聴いている姿カッコいい！(≧∇≦)
Who is that fantastic first trumpet?
Leuk
cool
Vet cool dit
MENUETT: GOD MODE
Unbelievable.
Abbie Conant on trombone 💜
Hey everybody. Do any one know how to purchase the sheet music for the wind orchestra and solo? Any one know the publisher? Or anything i can find?
Thanks~
Can anyone tell me the name of the principal trumpet?
Wolfgang Gaag, great hornist

Guldas "Brahms-Cellokonzert"!
29:38 Whryyyyy!!!
lmao. What a genre rhapsody
any idea what genre of music is the overture ? :D
Crysis Boo Rock and Pop. I have this theme in My School
It's the blues pattern, pure and simple.
@@catherinemcmichael2217 ah yes?
what are you talking about?
Was this the premier of the piece?
うわ！作曲者本人が指揮だ！ m(；∇；)m うれしすぎるっ！
小林俊夫 本当だ！
Der Herr Schiff war schon eine Klasse für sich, schade dass sein letzter Abtritt von der Bühne schon erfolgt ist. Gulda, so beeindruckend er am Klavier war, tapst hier etwas linkisch herum. Eines der guten Konzerte des ausgehenden 20. Jahrhunderts, so skurril es auch sein mag!
Haha Gulda eben tapst halt gern herum
@@hansleber6090 So zwischen Dirigent, Tänzer und Partygast.
@@Piflaser das war schon ein verrückter Kerl :D

wwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
15:23 sounded like a Spanish guitar 😂
Great piece though.
Gulda selected very nice music for his concert. 😊
To be serious: I think, Gulda was a great pianist and sometimes a great composer, but this concert has become popular just because it's crazy, and it's crazy because of the first theme of the first movement (the second theme could have been composed by Dvorak) and because of the last movement. The other parts are, as I said, "selected well". By the way: I HATE long solo cadenzas!!!
the second theme is more of Austrian folk horn playing rather than some genius Dvořák melodies, but yeah.
@@geuros Maybe Dvorak sometimes wrote in the style of Austrian Folk music. Or maybe Austrian and Bohemian Folk Music are- or were- quite similar in certain points. When Dvorak was alive, this was one country.
When I visited Czechoslovakia in the late Eighties, I thought to feel that Austria was not far away.
@@egon4593 I'm Czech, and yes the folk is sometimes similar, especially the wind bands. I just personally find the 1st movement folk more Alpine like, and the 5th movement is kinda common. Although even that is more Austrian I'd say, as it's more march like, while Czech would be more polka-like. But your observations are still correct :-)
Basically I just wanted to point out that a lot of Dvořák's best melodies are artificial and are not directly influenced by folk tunes - which you did not directly say but I got the feeling haha, my fault.
@@geuros Ah, I see, I have to be careful what to write. 🙂
Yes of course, the last movement is Austrian or Bavarian "Hum- pa, hum- pa, hum- pa..."
The first movement... well, for me it's unable to decide if Bohemian or Austrian. But it's as folcloristic as it could be, and so I simply had to think of Dvorak (which I like very much).
59 people lost their trumpets,
What a tragic experience...
Today's Led-lamps could have avoided sweating!
Is this record premiere of this work?
No, they did it in Vienna around year 1980.
哈哈 这部作品好骚啊
チェロのシフも亡くなってしまった。。。
シフ氏って中川家礼二に似てるな笑笑笑笑
全然、演奏と関係ないけど笑笑
作曲したグルダ氏のおもちゃ箱みたいな曲だ。
フィナーレのマーチは、かなりテンション高い。
ınanılmaz
Clearly I'm an old fart.
Kind of funny....
from now on I'm not gonna say jazz is for idiots who don't understand classical music
We really appreciate it ;)
The version w/Edgar Moreau & jongNBE...is-for me-far preferable...it's very polished & dynamic...less percussive...
Nope, still cringeworthy and in bad taste.
Lol
like your birth
In my opinion this work was long and boring, specially Cadenza . Also it was funny .
Genius
