Wonderful lecture! "Spontaneity" conc. recording - so important to be aware of, for us musicians! To still make drama, when no audience there (HIM or HER, wants you to be playing for them! :) but only microphones! Thank you Robert Levin, for this also. And thank you for the great Requiem completion/edition!
@afrostin exactly! but our music teachers will disagree. apparently mozart is 'nice'. mozart is 'pretty'. mozart is 'graceful'. mozart is 'singing'. mozart is 'delicate'. mozart is 'gentle'. >_<
Thank you, merci, danke, xiexienie, terima kasih for this instructive post which now enables me finally to hear Levin talk about Mozart. His wonderful Mozart Dminor concerto with Hogwood and the Academy of Ancient Music I regard as a very special one indeed. sd goh (malaysia)
Levin & Hogwood's Mozart Piano Concertos project = UNFINISHED Levin's Mozart Piano Sonatas project = one only disc TWELVE years ago = UNFINISHED Does anyone know what's wrong here?
Seems like your wishes have been granted! Levin completed his full sonata cycle and he is collaborating with Academy of Ancient Music (Richard Egarr as conductor) to finish the concerto cycle. The 21st and 24th concertos are out.
i completely disagree with that - the music in opera doesn't require an understanding of the story at all to be understood as music. If you transposed any piece of music from any opera for piano, one doesn't suddenly gain an 'accessible' meaning that one didn't have before, or if one put words to a piano tune one wouldn't suddenly loose the musical sense of meaning.
Performances today of Mozart's music tend to embalm him, rather than to enliven him! Great sentence - so true!

Dr. Levin, you are forever related to Mozart... Thank you from Lebanon... Check the AUB's performance of your version of Mozart's Requiem!
Great video, thanks for sharing it!
Thank you! lesson is very useful valuable and wholesome!
WONDERFUL! are there more lectures by Levin somewhere?
He came to Israel last year, and blew our mind in a fantastic lecture..

@levinismyhero where is this interview from? Which TV show? Documentary?
The music is the characters.
Did anyone notice that at 6:23 the piece by Mozart sounds oddly like a sonata by Haydn?
@thoushaltparty
this are very interesting questions...i would love to know the answer....
