Van Cliburn .. what a gracious man. So authentic, so heartwarming, a true patriot and goodwill ambassador ... Fort Worth is very proud of him. May he rest in peace.
How really really delightful! Van stole the show! If I had discovered him in his lifetime I would have written him a letter of appreciation. What a lovely warm person and great musician with a big heart. Thank you.
My wonderful boyfriend, now equally wonderful husband, introduced me to Van, when we started dating. Unfortunately, at that point he was done touring. I immediately, and hopelessly, fell in love with him, and his transcendental playing...he will forever hold a piece of my heart, and I hold him dear, whenever I play my own piano! ❤️
Amazing how culture can be such a gentle ambassador! But it requires both exceptional performers and educated hearts. Seems like times like these will not return.
Everything good 👍👍 I love both especially great great president Reagan sir...he is kind of Man in mankind...Reagan the name being permenant in human history
Very elegant indeed. It's too bad what happened to her soon after this event. Gorbachev must have been devastated. Everybody liked her. We didn't get much of a chance to know her.
I love the moment when MG arrived in his mythic limo Zil ... like a authentic state leader. So, we don't must forget one thing; Gorvachev and Yeltsin was a pair of persons easy of surprising with this kind of ceremonies and protocols to try of buy their dignities ... Reagan did it with Gorvachev... Clinton with Yeltsin... Both american presidents buy the dignity of those two leaders.... but now with Putin all that protocols and ceremonies are obsoletes and useless when a authentic world leader knows what really wants the US government. Why Obama, Bush, don't doing the same thing ?? Easy, Putin is honest and unbreakable with the US methods. This is history, today the world is different. Russia is not the Soviet Union anymore ...Russia is different today.
Un gran Momento en la Historia de la Humanidad!!! Grandes líderes, cuanta falta hacen en este momento Líderes de ese Nivel, de ese Calibre, de ese Estatus , Presidente Reagan y Secretario general Gorbachov!!.. Emocionantes tiempos aquellos
Here is the stark example of how a foreign country treats Gorbachev - a person who is going to ruin his homeland. He is venerated, respected and cherished as a hero. On the contrary, look at how they feel about Putin now - (not a flawless person at all, but still) who is a Russian patriot and defends Russia's interest on every front - he is being hated, smeared and turned into a boogeyman in the West. How can one not see hypocricy and not hate politics after that?
I think this piece says more about Van Cliburn than the politics. His warmth towards everyone and his singing of Moscow Nights. You would have to be hard hearted to quarrel with his attempt to bring folks together in music and song and his gracious manner.
@@charmainemorley2197 So beautifully stated! We need more Van Cliburns in the world, don’t we? I remember when he returned from Russia, people asked him if he was a communist or if he supported communism. Some people just couldn’t see the impact he had made, and see beyond the political part of it. He made such a connection with the people, from the moment he took the stage…and to this day, Russians still appreciate the awakening he gave them. One man really did make a difference! He solidified the universal language of music! ❤️He was such a classy, beautiful, man…who deeply loved his state of Texas, his country, and by all accounts everyone whose path he ever crossed. I cannot love him more than I do! When it was my time to choose a favorite pianist, I’m glad I found him! I’m glad that you found him, too! ❤️

На самодовольное нахальство Раисы противно смотреть. "Челаэк! Первый концерт Чайковского". Ничего, что это 40 минут. В жопу протокол встречи, планы и готовность самого Ван Клиберна и приглашающей стороны. И советские люди тоже охреневали от такого самомнения. Как же. Первая леди. Тьфу.
Leadership here, from 2 continents. Disrespectful press shouting questions…trying to turn historical Cultural event into a Circus. Shameful. VC the Poet~Artist….
Oh that Van Cliburn were here now and this lovely atmosphere!
What a difference and he created it. Remembered with affection!
Van Cliburn .. what a gracious man. So authentic, so heartwarming, a true patriot and goodwill ambassador ... Fort Worth is very proud of him. May he rest in peace.
He great amount of color with his speech.
I was so blessed to hear him play for almost two hours at an all Chopin concert here in NY...and the ticket was Free.
Where are these wise and compassionate leaders today?
you are so right DC
He was such a gentleman. And one of the great ones. RIP, Mr. Cliburn.
This wonderful musician did more for detente and US/Soviet relationships that evening than an army of diplomats could do in a year of meetings.
He did that years ago, when he won the Tchaikovsky competition.
Echoing your thought, Reagan himself said that he felt the cold war melt away as he heard the Gorbachevs sing along to Moscow Nights.
How really really delightful! Van stole the show! If I had discovered him in

During an era when America had leadership, strength, class and direction.
Mikhail Gorbachev is now gone. Truly the end of an era of East-West relations never to be repeated.
Miss those days, when people understood each other despite their differencies

This was America!! 🇺🇸 ❤️ 😢
Yes it was and a great time to be alive.
When we had CLASS!
He would only have American sparkling wine served while entertaining heads of state. What a patriot!
When the pianist steals the show !
Peace 4 all!
Very frickin' cool and class act. 👌

Wow, playing the Moscow Suburb Nights was so nice...

Rip to George H. W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, and Mikhail Gorbachev.

What was the song that so excited Gorbachev?
Подмосковные вечера (Moscow Nights).
Also known in the US as ' Midnight in Moscow',
which is now well-known among jazz circles, and in the New Orleans French Quarter for the jazz version.
Here is a very poignant and softspoken version of Moscow Nights by Vladimir Troshin: ua-cam.com/video/fRFScbISKDg/v-deo.html
Van Cliburn payed this song as an encore after winning the Tchaikovsky-Concours in 1958 : ua-cam.com/video/vkxSgmoqpTs/v-deo.html
Первым приехал Министр Иностанных дел СССР седой лис Эдуард Шеворнадзе с супругой.
18:14 what did he say
“I hope that wasn’t too much.” ❤️
He could have played all night, and it would never be enough for me! 🥰

Incredibly vulgar comment from the press at 2:55
قال الله تعالى(إِذْ يُوحِي رَبُّكَ إِلَى الْمَلَائِكَةِ أَنِّي مَعَكُمْ فَثَبِّتُوا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا ۚ سَأُلْقِي فِي قُلُوبِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا الرُّعْبَ فَاضْرِبُوا فَوْقَ الْأَعْنَاقِ وَاضْرِبُوا مِنْهُمْ كُلَّ بَنَانٍ ) وين ثبتني يا آلله ووين بت ثبتني يا الله الآن

Could you see the Trumps hosting such an event?
Молодец Ванклиберн.
3:10 “Can you get a withdrawal date on Afghanistan”
Wouldn’t it have been funny if Reagan turned and said, “August 30, 2021”? No … guess not …

она просто ничего не знала из других музыкальных названий и решила блеснуть "умом". И на весь зал повторила громко несколько раз чтобы все слышали.
