Thank you for this video. I have always preferred Mr Ax’s rendition of this piece to all others. It is a very special treat to watch him perform it here.
Sincerly, Mr Emanuel Ax' is the best , playing Brahms,..His performance of this Intermezzo is so beautiful and thoughful , intimate, with the exactly tempo and connection with the music ....Bravo , I love it !
Beautifully done. I like the combination of restraint and release. Other recordings tend to be a little too schmaltzy. This interpretation allows the simple beauty of the melody and the voicing to shine.
I discovered Brahms through Emmanuel Ax and have never found a more sensitive performer of these deep and dark pieces. One can hear every note and nuance in his profoundly reverent playing.
I've heard a lot of recordings of this amazing piece of music but this is one of the best! Thank you for your beautiful rendition, E. Ax. I love your touch on the piano.
well i just cried through that whole thing. one of my favorite pieces to play. i was looking for a recording to share with piano students and ended up just weeping... thank you, sir!
I love to listen to recordings of Radu Lupu play this as well, but I love listening and watching Emanuel Ax play this. I searched desperately to find again Emanuel playing this. I am so glad I found it!
I happen to be learning this piece as I watch and write this, and I've heard it played a hundred or more times by world famous pianists, students & enthusiasts alike, and I'm simply compelled to say no one can play the Brahms Opus 118 like you. I've read so much about it, gaining very little insight actually into the piece, yet, it's one of those pieces that somehow has a story to tell, a feeling it seems compelled to convey. You bring that out in the music like no other pianist. That's an amazing thing, as it goes beyond mere talent. Your recording of it is simply sublime and quite inspiring, Mr. Ax. You bring the greatness of this composer and the reflected agony of this piece of music composed some 123 years ago to life. That's a rare insight and talent indeed.
You are completely right. This piece is a marvelous example of what Mendelssohn used to say: "the fact isn't that music has no specific meaning, but that it is so specific, that words can't describe it". Ax goes right into the core of that meaning. Wonderful.
Barry, I've heard other work by this pianist (aside from actually meeting him twice), and will say here that I agree with every last word in your posted comment. You should definitely try to listen to his other work. I have heard him in the four Brahms Ballades Op. 10 live in concert, and the experience has remained unforgettable for me. I could go on regarding other things I have heard, but all this is reflected in his actual warmth as a human being, something that many professional artists appearing before the public simply do not have.
I once wrote a comparative review for International Piano magazine on Brahms's op. 24 (Handel Variations) and Ax's recording came out top; and it's still the best performance I've ever heard. His Brahms Concertos are pretty good, too. That said, I don't find his reading of this piece extraordinary. It's a touch too "concert hall" for my taste. But thanks for posting.
Beautiful. Everything is just do logically and musically conceived and communicated. Tempo was perfect, just the right amount of rubato for those special moments. I loved this interpretation!
I just listened to a dozen different pianists play this piece. Emanuel Ax's is one of the top 4 IMHO. Also like Neuhaus', Rubinstein's and Perahia's. i searched for Richter playing it but did not find it on YT. Oh, Radu's is very good too.
Rob Kapilow thinks this Intermezzo reveals an inner Brahms seldom recognized. A recent segment on the PBS Newshour by Kapilow used this reading by Emanuel Ax to illustrate his discussion. I recommend it.
I had always loved the piano. In school you had to have the instrument at home to be picked for it, and since we didn't have one at home I was given the clarinet. I really tried,but in my heart I always wanted to learn to play the piano. I think the next instrument I would have chosen would have been the violin, but they already had a full class and again I missed out. So now all I can do is watch, enjoy and hope in my next life I will be given the opportunity to learn and play. This man is amazing and I so love his talent.
Please give yourself the opportunity to play at least a degree of piano. It’s so satisfying; I did not start taking lessons until 45 years old and I love it. I’m not real advanced, but I can play a few hymns that I absolutely love.
I keep coming back to this performance. For me, Ax employs rubato in these six minutes more perfectly than in any other performance of any piece, and not just for piano. The forward motion never stops, yet he has such control over the stretching of time. Pure bliss!
I think this is how Brahms played this beautiful Intermezzo. It is the closest to my own idea of how it should be played, and yes, I’ve been playing it for many wonderful years!
This is the closest to what I hear in my head when reading the score... A superb interpretation, I think! Thank you for posting and introducing me to this profoundly exceptional pianist!
My absolute(ly) favorite interpretation of Opus 118. Yes, the term “interpretation” is a good description of any rendering, playing, of this wonderful piece. Another term that comes to mind concerning any rendering of this piece is the term “rubato”. Also Brahms wrote a lot in three/whatever time, but the three/x time is so subtle here, so not in-your-face, as a waltz. I love the way Ax doesn’t rush through the connecting phrases. I hope to never hear a midi recording of this piece.
Hace 2 años me dieron mui Grammy. Y tres discos grabados de La CArreño Sojo. Gracias a mi BArenboim a Juan F y a Gabriela Montero. Tu tienes discos grabados Emanuel Ax??? y me firmaste tu rúbrica pero me alejaste la cara y ni me viste año 2006. Do you remember??????????????? Master

Bravooooooooo para Adriana Teresa Carreño. Otro de sus performance. Año 97 Museo Sacro de Caracas. En un concierto de mi maestra Gabriela Bohm-Borotta. Menos mal que perfeccioné ese performance. Ese te lo vay a Regalar Emanuelito. Chao pescao contigo. Ya no te tengo en la lista de mis pianistas notables. Ese conservatorio Juan José LAndaeta como que no no no.
Brahms's music has lasted for over a hundred years and will continue to do so as long as humanity survives. How long do you think Bieber's music will last?
I first heard this on a Jesse Stone movie. It is hauntingly beautiful as performed here. In the movie, an elderly lady advises Tom Selleck (Stone) to sit back and listen to Chopin in order to combat the problems he is having (a police chief with alcoholism). So, naturally, I thought this was a Chopin piece until I was set straight.
I don't get who the idiots are that direct these things. Why would anyone pick a camera angle of the underside of a piano lid during the most technically interesting, beautiful, and difficult part of a song. I want to see his hands!
Manny is one of the sweetest humans ever born. It comes through in his playing. Seemed a bit fast, but AX plays the tempo indicated. Brahms didn't want pianist to try to make it "sadder" which they often do. Nostalgia, bittersweet memories, autumn are in this piece- not tragedy or hopelessness. Brahms is usually more impact full when it's underplayed ( which it is if composers notations are followed).
Does anyone know which version of this is used in the Jesse Stone series. I first heard it there but was unhappy with the phrasing. So l went on a search and sampled dozens of versions of this wonderful piece. This version,by Ax, is the nearest to my own conception of how it should be played. Nothing is given in the credits as to whose recording is being used.
This kind of comment is as frequent as it is wrong Brahms and his likes have 100M++++++ views on youtube. Their music has been sold and performed for several decades more or less without any interruptions and probably will for decades to come.
Menos mal que ese título de ese conservatorio es un papelucho tapa marilla. Yo tengo mis Títulos de Conservatorio de Paris y de Santa Sofia en Roma. Oh oh oh..... Y mi Royal Academy. Ya voy a ver que está pasando en ese conservatorito.
Ax also, in my opinion, never loses himself in the music, the way Rubinstein does, if you find a really good recording. Between Rubinstein and Lupu, you'll hear Brahms the way you really, really, really wish you could play it.
I always find his playing heavy and laboured. It has ''bigness'' which the others don't have but it is always climbing uphill. Rubinstein just floats up to the heavens. And of course well done camera man.....of course we all want to see the inside of the piano and Emmanuel's face don't we children ? I mean who needs to see the hands when someone is playing the piano It makes you wonder doesn't it ? I wonder who is running the country
hahaha...that's the sad reality the farther we are going from the real music...anyways, J. Bieber's music is not eternal never mind the million hits....Brahms' pieces and the like will be forever played even when comes the time that piano becomes a "touch-pad" or something...
"Justin Bieber and his ilk" have one version/rendition of their songs. Johannes Brahms and others have MANY interpretations of their works. So, to get a proper count of views you need to add all the views of all the interpretations. So, yes THIS particular interpretations has less views than Justin's.
beautiful tone quality but it didn't really sing as I have expected. I didn't hear the tension, the connections between the phrases. Did Ax intended such spacious breath and understood the intermezzo as a windless sea? Wide and broad, but not intense.
You hate this world? I wouldn't persuade otherwise. But while Bieber, whoever he is, apparently gets many hits giving you a picture of a fish, that you can't eat, this man is telling you volumes of profound teachings about how to fish. Magical teachings. Now if he would just play Mozart trills from the upper note downwards (the nachschlag is the "up"). Listening, Mr. Ax? Schenker (not the only Eumaeus of music) says trills are dissonances, not embellishments. All expression is in the dissonance!
As wonderful as this is and teaches me so much, Ax loses Brahms and he loses my interest. There's no connecting one-ness, just a series of beautifully executed phrases. To hear what I'm talking about, listen to Radu Lupu. He plays and Brahms enters the room.
+ellen diamond Wow... I was listening to this after hearing Jean-Yves Thibaudeau play that as an encore in our concert tonight. I found nothing wanting in either interpretation....(my firs time hearing the piece). I guess I'll have to check out Radu Lupu.
I don't agree, I think he actually connects phrases with a deep understanding of the score. Have you ever played the piece? I've being doing it for years, and I find this interpretation more satisfaying than Lupu's (which I think is fantastic, don't get me wrong). I use to think it was the best, but not anymore after studying the piece myself.
Emmanuel Ax is one of the finest interpreters of Brahms in the past half century. Perhaps it was the rather abrupt way the video was edited at the end which informed your view?
The beginning is beautifully cadenced and played, but unfortunately, for my taste, he rushes the segue which diminishes it's emotional impact and throws the whole piece off.
Quien hace estas cosas. No entiendo. Son tecnógratas o qué??????? Esto es para hacer daño a los músicos ni siquiera es para el público. Quién se cree este cuento????
I agree. I hate it too fast and even worse if it's too slow. This is a perfect tempo. Beautifully played! One of the very best out of many renditions I've heard of this song.Thank you for posting!
Boring! loud soft loud soft but where is the texture ? the tone ? the human voice ? bangers all of them...........except...........(wait for it) rubinstein.
Thank you for this video. I have always preferred Mr Ax’s rendition of this piece to all others. It is a very special treat to watch him perform it here.
I have known this piece for over 50 years, but have never heard it played so beautifully! He unpacks the emotion so richly. Thank you and Bravo!
Sincerly, Mr Emanuel Ax' is the best , playing Brahms,..His performance of this Intermezzo is so beautiful and thoughful , intimate, with the exactly tempo and connection with the music ....Bravo , I love it !
This is absolutely beautiful! I love his interpretation. He gets to the soul of this music. Yes, I have heard other recordings.
Agree wholeheartedly!!! Just listened to Rubenstein and, with all due respect, his interpretation is far too light and frothy for my tastes.
@@xelamercedes Since when do blacks listen to this type of music?
Beautifully done. I like the combination of restraint and release. Other recordings tend to be a little too schmaltzy. This interpretation allows the simple beauty of the melody and the voicing to shine.
Every time I hear this piece I nearly stop breathing in parts. It just carries you away...can't help it.
I discovered Brahms through Emmanuel Ax and have never found a more sensitive performer of these deep and dark pieces. One can hear every note
and nuance in his profoundly reverent playing.
Unbelievable what Ax does here! Takes my breath away and it sets the standard for me!!!!
Brahms - such a crusty old misanthrope: & he comes up with this!
Unforgettably lovely...
🙏🏻💔🙏🏽
I've heard a lot of recordings of this amazing piece of music but this is one of the best! Thank you for your beautiful rendition, E. Ax. I love your touch on the piano.
I played this for my senior recital in college and it still gets me to my heart. What a beautiful piece
Same here...all of op. 118. This piece feels so personal to me, it is almost hard to listen to it.
💖🙏 Meraviglioso! Grazie per il video. Non conoscevo questo grande pianista. Fantastico! Questo è uno dei brani che preferisco di Brahms.
I love this version!!! I analyzed a few different performers playing this piece for school and Ax was easily my favorite
well i just cried through that whole thing. one of my favorite pieces to play. i was looking for a recording to share with piano students and ended up just weeping... thank you, sir!
I love to listen to recordings of Radu Lupu play this as well, but I love listening and watching Emanuel Ax play this. I searched desperately to find again Emanuel playing this. I am so glad I found it!
I love this performance. Passionate with a tiny bit of raw emotion, but also poetic and sensitive. My favorite so far.

Please don't wait till your next life! I started taking piano lessons when I turned 65. You're never too old to do something you love!
Please give yourself the opportunity to play at least a degree of piano. It’s so satisfying; I did not start taking lessons until 45 years old and I love it. I’m not real advanced, but I can play a few hymns that I absolutely love.
Oh, dear Manny...always the artist, such lovely nuanced playing as ever I remember it and then some... Soli Deo Gloria, JC
The horn player with the Seattle Symphony for many years? I have your recording of the Mozart concertos. Thank you.

Yes agree just a pity the sound quality is so poor
Sorry to say that discovered Emanuel Ax later in life. A magnificent musician and humble human being - an example to all of us musicians.
I think this is how Brahms played this beautiful Intermezzo. It is the closest to my own idea of how it should be played, and yes, I’ve been playing it for many wonderful years!

A beautifully shaped performance.

You should listen to Glenn Gould’s recording. It’s out of this world.
His greatest single recording, i think.
I love chamber music even if I'm in Africa
JUST BREATHTAKING. LOOKED FOR THIS FROM JESSIE STONE FILMS.
How can anybody not like Brahms?
Woo hoo! Finally, an interpretation where I don't fall asleep during the first movement.
XD
Perfect interpretation. Love it! :)
Filled with a mystery of everything and then some :)
Love his interpretation of the B section.
Com è bello questo intermezzo!
Er ist ein meister

what a great artist...
This is more like it.
AH! So lovely
Ay mi grabación no le pusieron el parlantico. Está igualita a como yo la toque?????? Por favor una explicación
Maravilloso brahms 6:04
I really loved this. Beautiful interpretation but the small section that is like a "chorale" i thought he took too fast.
This is lovely, however I suggest you listen to Radu Lupu. The latter brings a magical stillness to the ''chorale'' section you refer to.
Menos mal que ese título de ese conservatorio es un papelucho tapa marilla. Yo tengo mis Títulos de Conservatorio de Paris y de Santa Sofia en Roma. Oh oh oh..... Y mi Royal Academy. Ya voy a ver que está pasando en ese conservatorito.
COOL !.....THANKS !
Ax also, in my opinion, never loses himself in the music, the way Rubinstein does, if you find a really good recording. Between Rubinstein and Lupu, you'll hear Brahms the way you really, really, really wish you could play it.
ellen diamond Gieseking and Kempff are other good choices
amen!
This is a very beautiful interpretation just like I imagine Brahms playing it. Good tempo, Sometimes maybe a bit too much ruibato. Passionate.
Nope, not too much rubato. It's perfect!
would you please fix the aspect ratio of this video?
Danke sehr.
Wow....wow....wow
Watch out! With my new hair I reminds a bit of JB! xD
@strahljd Take pride in being one of the proud few.
a shame about the audio quality
I forgot to breathe.

So, yes THIS particular interpretations has less views than Justin's.
Hmm. I see three months ago I liked this.now it seems a bit too fast and angry for me. My favorite version now is Roberto Plano
beautiful tone quality but it didn't really sing as I have expected. I didn't hear the tension, the connections between the phrases. Did Ax intended such spacious breath and understood the intermezzo as a windless sea? Wide and broad, but not intense.
Bernd Wang I agree with you. It seems he is trying to explain something rather than getting submerged in the beauty of this intermezzo
You hate this world? I wouldn't persuade otherwise. But while Bieber, whoever he is, apparently gets many hits giving you a picture of a fish, that you can't eat, this man is telling you volumes of profound teachings about how to fish.

baby baby baybay, baby baby baybay justin beiber lol
This is no well played, but such a shame it's recorded in a broom cabinet, and with very bad sound quality. Did he record it elsewhere?
So this has 4,800 hits while Justin Bieber and his ilk get 100+ million. I hate this world.
As wonderful as this is and teaches me so much, Ax loses Brahms and he loses my interest. There's no connecting one-ness, just a series of beautifully executed phrases. To hear what I'm talking about, listen to Radu Lupu. He plays and Brahms enters the room.

David Martin well said...try Arthur Jussen's interpret. - he's 13 at the time of recording...but has the emotional depth of an old soul...
Alberto Martín have you listened to Arthur Jussen?
E' ben eseguito. Ma non trovo "pensiero" e non provo emozioni! Non è il Brahms che mi piace, no!
The beginning is beautifully cadenced and played, but unfortunately, for my taste, he rushes the segue which diminishes it's emotional impact and throws the whole piece off.
Quien hace estas cosas. No entiendo. Son tecnógratas o qué??????? Esto es para hacer daño a los músicos ni siquiera es para el público. Quién se cree este cuento????
A little too fast to bring out the dreamy aspect of this piece. It is a little too factual.
I don't think so, maybe in just some moments, but I think it's perfectly fine. Remember it's an andante.
That would be fine if he played at an andante speed, but it is more like Andantino.
I think the general idea of the different tempi slowed down during the 20th century. Just a guess, but anyway I think his speed is fine. xD
I agree. I hate it too fast and even worse if it's too slow. This is a perfect tempo. Beautifully played! One of the very best out of many renditions I've heard of this song.Thank you for posting!
M.J. Leger YES! I agree perfect rempo!!!
Boring! loud soft loud soft but where is the texture ? the tone ? the human voice ? bangers all of them...........except...........(wait for it) rubinstein.
