When my father was in the hospital being treated for terminal cancer, I took a selection of classical music for him to listen to. This concerto was his favorite. I always think of him when I hear it.
Atleast you did something for your father I'm the worst, we didn't even have a strong connection same with my mother it feels like i will die with the saddest ending and that's one of my wish, i also wanted to have a sad life, one day i will leave my family and i will be on my own With GOD Godbless you... he will give you more than you deserve, you sweet boy/girl Hows he doing? Is he alright now i wait for the reply
John Carlo , Dear John Carlo, the fact you feel this way, is prove that you in your own way found the lost connection with your parents. This is Life. Be in peace, enjoy life, I know you enjoy beautiful music, that’s what all parents wish for their children. All the best.
This music touches my heart...I am a german steelworker without any knowledges about classical music...but listening to this music, I really relax...Thank you so much !
My dear Sir, I'm so pleased to read your comment. That is exactly what Herr Mozart had in mind, to bring out the emotion in his listeners. The slow movement, adagio, at 13.03, brings tears my eyes & that's a wonderful experience for me too. Do continue with your journey, there's plenty more that will touch your heart.
You know classical music. There’s a difference between having some information and *knowing* … If you can experience the breath of this music-you know.
i’m on a clarinet journey :) whether or not i’ll play as a hobby or full passion i’m not sure of, but i hope your journey was amazing - and/or ongoing! be healthy
Ich habe das Adagio vor kurzem ebenfalls bei einer Beerdigung gehört. Es ist eines der friedlichsten Musikstücke, das ich kenne. Es strahlt Trost, Gelassenheit und Zuversicht aus. Neben dem wunderbaren "Ave Verum" ist es im Moment eines meiner persönlichen Lieblingstücke Mozarts(wohl wissend, dass es vermessen anmuten mag, bei dem großartigen Gesamtwerk Mozarts etwas hervorzuheben).
I am very elderly and have always loved Mozart. This lass with her clarinet is just heaven. During lock down I have been endeavouring to renew my acquaintance with the piano although it is sixty years since I last did so. Although I make many mistakes the piano has been my saviour.
@@rabtab9495 I'll certainly try. And I hope with the easing of lock-down here in Oz that our group of a cappella singers can get going again as well. 🎼🎶
I am a 13 years, and I play the clarinet. I hope I someday can play this piece, and maybe half as good as she did. She’s so talented, and she makes it seem easy.
Just the fact human beings created all these instruments and perfected them and play huge ensemble pieces is amazing. Listening to these centuries old musical marvels is nothing short but breath taking.
But only God could create a human being who could create and play music like this you see a beautiful painting someone had to paint it or a wonderful building it had to be made and built by someone nothing creats nothing
I am a wdow, of a few yrs, I miss my husband so much, the lonliness is unbarable, when I play this music, I seem to gain strengh, to carry on. so talented. Thank you so much Gwyneth from Wales
Dear Gwyneth, I am now 82 and have had my share of the good and the bad, but mostly the blessed goodness in my life. Through the years both my heart, and indeed my soul, have been captured by these musical classics. They gift me with tranquility, serenity and happiness which tend to overshadow the physical life. I hope that they will continue to do that for you. Bob Angell, USA
I couldn’t have worded a more perfect reply than Robert’s from the USA. Stay strong Gwyneth and gain strength from listening to the blessed music of Beethoven, Bach and Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. Tomorrow is my husband’s angel day, twenty years ago I lost him and still miss him.. I understand. Blessings, Barb, B.C., Canada.
This is the very concerto, that was played at my brother`s funeral. It brought me back to the days, that he and I played together more than six decades ago. We both loved the same music, which my parents and other siblings also liked. Now they are all dead and I am left with so many beautiful memories. This piece will always remind me of my childhood.
You sound Dutch/Belgium somehow. You're from which year ? I'm from '38. I can relate. My symphaty. ( spelling check not on, French, Dutch, English, too complicated !)
When I read your comment I immediately imagined 2 men playing together and a great joy achieved, I also felt a sadness of your loss, but what remains is gratitude of the time spent together and wonderful memories which when life is near its' end , is all we have.
The spirit of Mozart’s works woven musically of Beauty and Simplicity has been crystallizing on through the ages for ever and ever in the hearts of Mozart lovers.
I don’t understand how can you cry to something like this .. I know it’s a beautiful piece,but it’s not an emotional one like nocturne or sonata lol Hope that you won’t get offended by my opinion,I’m a big fan of classical music. Hope that you will tell me why you cried to this one 😂
As I listen to this they are burying my brother-in-law, who was a talented clarinetist. Although i think of it as a tribute to him, I marvel at the clarity of her performance. And yes, it did bring me to tears.
@@am0nii45 bien, que clase de autoridad tienes tú para determinar qué puede emocionar a otra persona? Tu comentario me parece estúpido, malintencionado e innecesario. Sin ofender.
My girlfriend and I were driving down the coast of California and I played this Concerto for her . She would not get out of the car till it ended . She was silent the entire time and I knew she Was deeply moved, she said as much. . . She left me shortly after, 9 years now, but I always believe I left this piece to her as a kind of life gift .
I've been playing that piece for 55 years, I have good days, but mostly I have never achieved anywhere near perfection. Being 73 years old and having had lung cancer, I'm now very unlikely to get any better, but I will always enjoy trying.
My flute teacher told me that, even for masters, for Bach and Mozart there is always something to improve/tweak even if the audience does not notice any difference.
@@oliviernoir6669 Agreed. I have heard some things in her interpretation that I should pull out my clarinet, which I haven't played in about 10 years and try.
What a wonderful as well as great legacy left us humanity it would be that the spirit of Mozart’s music will have been living on forever and ever and never to be dead eternally in the hearts of Mozart lovers all over the world💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Trust me, the really impressive thing is learning the piece and getting the gnarly bits down. By the time you've done that, memorization is a side effect. Many thousands of hours made it possible for her to do that. Music is a lot of work!
The Adagio Part gives me goosebumps and leaves me speecheless each time. Incredible that Mozart composed this 2 months before he died. This piece remains immortal.
Anne-Sophie, you are probably right. In my books it says that KV 622 was composed 1791 (?). and this ? indicates an uncertainty. Anyway, this was one of his last compositions. He died the same year 1791. I can only love this music even more, knowing this.
Who is listening to Mozart during the COVID lockdown? Hopefully, when things start to move towards another normal next year that the enjoyment of Mozart's music will not go away.
@@eitanwacks3635 This idiot seems to get all his knowledge of Mozart from that poor Milod Forman movie which tried to make Mozart more accessible by making him out to be a pop star. If she knew anyyhing about music, she would know know that Mozart wasn't alcoholic. That film libels not only Mozart by also the people around him. His wife wasn't a stupid middle class woman interested mainly in money, but a famous violinist. Forman gives to Mozart a family from which could only a produced an alcoholic popstar.
I am by no means a classical music expert and watching a creation such as this I am not only amazed at the genius which created it but the evolution of everything that made it possible from the moment someone figured out how to create those instruments from wood, metal, valves, and strings to create such sounds. Then the people who dedicated their lives to master these instruments and bring them all together to create the beautiful sound we hear is nothing short of genius and miraculous.
I lost my husband of 63 years of marriage, Sept 2019 and this piece of music has always been my favorite and comforts me. Also my daughter played it when she was in high school. This was beautiful.
Eine wunderbare Darbietung des Klarinettenkonzertes von Mozart. Großen Dank der Solistin, die erstklassig, musikalisch beseelt, das transportiert, was der Komponist vermutlich transportiert wissen wollte. Großen Dank dem Iceland Symphony Orchester und letztendlich dem Herrn Mozart.
The number of the viewers of this video outnumbers the population of this country! Really well done to the country's music education which has resulted in such an orchestra.
400,000 and counting. Bet most of them are not from England which is in general very weak on musical knowledge/ appreciation unless it’s the latest pop/rock/rap - lol
Der Geist von Mozarts Musik hat sich für immer und ewig herauskristallisiert und ist niemals tot. Seine Schönheit und Einfachheit verschmolzen harmonisch mit der Ewigkeit in den Herzen der Mozart-Liebhaber.
There is no rival to classical music, and Mozart, of course, composed in the Classical period. When I listen, all the chaos of my life recedes and there is... only harmony.
Indeed, this is all harmony,. and the music flows like a river, or a movie without cuts, or a beautiful dream.. The chaos you mentioned had impressed me too. You can overcome it, there are so many ways, as maybe with a friend's help (I mean an actual friend, even if Mozart is one of the best friend people can have 🙂)
There is a therapy based partly on Mozart's music for children- called Tomatis Method. Listening Mozart I feel totally zen, relaxed,almost hypnotised. What a genius, died so young!
"No rival to classical music . . ." (?) Never heard of . . . jazz (100 years) . . . or rock (70 years) . . . or Broadway (100 years) . . . or folk (hundreds of years) (?)
The sounds of Mozart’s music inspiringly do pour awesomely a certain kind of spirtual energy with the wonderfully harmonious melody woven of “ beauty and simplicity” through my ears and into♡my heart 🤎
It is so amazing what humans are capable of. This soloist is so excellent, and is flawless during this long piece. Backed by a group of individuals who somehow together are providing such a wonderful orchestral sound. And, of course, Mozart, who could sculpt such a piece specifically for this instrument, and who could engage our minds and our emotions so hypnotically. One can trace Mozart's growth and maturity over the years. This is one of his very last works, when we can see an exceptional depth of feeling and warmth to accompany his basic musical genius. If only he lived longer, we might see and hear even more. One can only imagine how great that would have been!
When I listen to Mozart’s music I’m often reminded that I must never forget that “ I’m kept alive and loved by God ”even in the face of hardships in life never living only by myself 💕
I also started playing clarinet at your age, and after a few years was able to play most of this concerto. I am 79 years old now, and still love this piece.
@@chesslerbooks Hope this doesn't sound like I'm calling you old haha but how different were clarinets when you were young? Was there still a lot of difference in sound between different clarinets (e.g. different lengths) or had they been sorted by then?
The Emotions of Mozart’s Music Without Borders. Mozart’s music deeply touches both the minds and hearts of listeners, transcending cultural and geographical boundaries. His compositions convey a profound tapestry of emotions, weaving together joy, hope, sorrow, and loneliness. Each note intertwines moments of happiness and sadness, resonating even in the most hopeless circumstances. Mozart’s music embodies joy and emotion, reaching deeply into the human spirit. His work continues to resonate with people worldwide, leaving an enduring impact on souls and hearts. Each piece embarks on a journey of innovation and inspiration, creating an emotional connection that is truly timeless. ❤🎉
I admire her capacity to the sustained ability for the length of her continued uninterrupted flow of music and it's strength of deliverance. What talent, I was a semi pro cyclist and I realize her ability for her lung compacity says how incredible her performance is. And all remembered with out sheet music. So wonderfully preformed, dressed so actractively. To share her Talent, I'm thankful my ears could hear such wonderful music. Thank you for sharing this with us.
I was in Iceland back in 2019 - spent 3 weeks there. Absolutely breathtaking place. And saw that concert hall from the outside too. But - what really strikes me is this - a nation of just 350,000 people - and you have such rich talents there. This clarinetist is definitely world class - never heard of this concerto played so effortlessly as this.
When I wake up in the morning and listen to this melody, I feel comfortably refreshed, and at the same time I feel like some kind of spiritual energy is pouring into my heart through my ears ❤
Thank you so much for showing my 10 year old daughter and I , just how beautiful the clarinet can be. She just received her first A+ from her 1st quarter of beginning playing this instrument. Bravo to the Iceland Symphony Orchestra and especially you Ms. Tom and Hayley Grace.
Just play for fun. Forget all the evaluations of "beginner," "pro," etc. The greatest way to let out creative energy is to ask God to bless your playing, to play for His glory, to spread joy when possible, and just to enjoy it. It's when you are most relaxed and free of expectations that you let your true talent come forth. Every best wish!
Beautiful concert played by Iceland Symphony Orchestra. Iceland only has a population of 350,000, which makes it all so much outstanding and wonderful. Congratulations, Iceland!!!
A good shout against multiculturalism, same with Japan. By keeping a homogenous population, they seem to not have the typical ills of most societies. I realise that not a popular concept, but just why are countries like Iceland so very successful, crime-free and healthy? There are cities bigger than Iceland in every other country that could never field any decent orchestra, and they also do well in Ice Hockey and Football.
@@jduff59 We are supposed to stay segregated because when we get together we war against one another and God Himself. We even try to build a tower to burst through the firmament to try and dethrone God. We are spoiled children. We have all gone astray. We must return to the old paths.
@ Gringo, Dakoder II and Eli Davidson, this is not the place or forum to indulge in this kind of dialogue. Please keep your thoughts on politics to yourselves. Your comments only serve to spoil an incredibly beautiful performance of an incredibly beautiful piece of music. Just listen to that applause. Be happy for the orchestra, Arngunnur Árnadóttir and the conductor. Be happy for Iceland. Be happy that you have been able to listen to Mozart's genius. Forget politics. It has no place here.
Wenn ich einen bestimmten Teil dieser Melodie höre, steigt in meinem Herzen ein Gefühl der Dankbarkeit gegenüber Gott auf, dass er am Leben ist und von ihm geliebt wird.
Mozart was a complete musical genius. He started composing music at 5 years of age, that is truly mind boggling!!! The clarinet is a truly beautiful instrument, priceless music performed here.
@@tambrosia Or how many Bachs Mozarts Beethovens may be alive today if we still had good music instead of this shitty crap today. The sad thing about Bach Mozart Beethoven is that Bach never came to know Mozarts music. And Mozart never came to know Beethovens music. And Beethoven never came to know Chopin's and Liszt's music. That's sad. But all of them never came to know Justin Bieber which is a very good thing
someone once said... as ye believe, so shall it be.... it's the literal truth, within the laws of physics... but... it's not magic... it requires effort on your part... no worries.. I have enjoyed playing music all my life.. even though it is a hobby... it's a meditation.. a way to focus on something outside one's self... to find the Infinite ♾... you probably already knew that, no worries mate... Bienvenido amigo
The happiest conductor I've ever seen, a wonderful and talented woman playing it flawless and perfect and a marvelous orchestra... I can't think it could be more beautiful than this.
Oh SO surreal! The smooth transition from depressing of the finger keys is magnificent. I’ve been engrossed in the musical field all my 84 years, and never heard anything this pure on a Clarinet! I’ll be watching and listening from Heaven when I get there as this by far, the most sensational sound, this side of Heaven!
Dear Arngunnur Arnadottir, there are so many compliments and comments made for you by the time I write this one of mine that I failed to read them all. But I must do before I cannot. I am a 75 y. o. Khmer (Cambodian) man who has been listening to your lovely performance I can't remember when and always has enjoyed it every times. I am no musician, but I am a music lover. Thank you so much for sharing this life beauty with me. I have owed you so much, thank again.
Why do I love Mozart's music so much? It's only some very simple notes aligned together, but it never fails to make me smile or to move me. Mozart created a perfect world through his music where I feel safe and well. I wish I could go back in time to thank him personally. Also congratulations to the orchestra and the soloist for this wonderful interpretation.
Ein Teil dieser Musik trägt mich dorthin, wo mein spiritueller Durst wie in einer Wüstenoase gestillt wird und mein Herz zärtlich von einem leichten, aber herzlichen Glücksgefühl umhüllt wird ❤
I was a very talented clarinet player when I was young (14 years old), I earned 1st chair in the state. Since then I lost the motivation to practice and by the time I was in college band I was mediocre at best. I haven’t played since but this brings me back to how fulfilling it was to create such a beautiful sound. I miss being a musician so much.
Sara Morris I recently picked up the clarinet after a 20 year break! I share similar experience to yours, played and competed at high level. Opting to focus on a different career track in college, I became a spectator. Over the years I realized how much I missed playing and decided 2020 was it. Muscle memory is real and though I'm stuck on the lower range for now, I am just happy to be playing again. It's been a great outlet during this quarantine period. As others have said, never too late to get back to your passions 😊🎶. Best wishes!
Tihs has always been one of my favourite pieces of Mozart. I first discovered it when I was 13, and now at 65, I find even more, so much more, in it. What a wonder he was. And this is an inspiring performance in all respects. Thank you.
11 million requests for this performance, a nunber still growing steadily....In a way that says it all.....I admit to quite a few of these requests, looking to this perfection at times when I hunger for some relief. Most times I tear up a bit while listening, not just touched by her performance, but also by the widespread adulation earned by Amgunnur Amadottir. She has clearly touched many lives, bringing positivity and joy. What she feels about the extraordinary response and ongoing admiration, I can hardly imagine....but it is real and deserved. As many say, music can be magical.
My late father was a Professor of Music and a clarinetist. I grew up hearing him practice this Concerto. So much so that I remember nearly every note of the first and second movements, and much of the third. This brings back many memories. (He studied it with Robert Marcellus, BTW. He would come home from lessons inspired beyond speech.) Ms. Árnadóttir plays it somewhat differently than Dad did - smoother than he - but her rendition is beautiful.
Marcellus - amazing teacher! I did not study with him, but attended numerous master classes he gave. He said (1980's): Play every note as if it is worth $50.
The performance by Árnadóttir gives an overwhelmingly beautiful and masterful performance played by memory. The Clarinet Concerto is intense, engaging, triumphant and graceful as unique. Simply wonderful captivating musical treasure.
The more I listen, the more I understand how GOOD this is, compared to other uptakings. There is a freshness about it, a certain feeling of "this is how it shall sound" and the uptaking sound is very good too. And upon that Arngunnur is playing with such an authority and insight in this work that I can nothing but enjoy. She even has the time to adjust her blade in an orchestral passage without any hurry! Greetings to Iceland from another nordic country, Sweden.
@@staffanolofsson8201 Mozart wrote the Clarinet Concerto for his friend Anton Stadler who, played the basset clarinet. However, for some reason, modernly, most clarinetists it seems, prefered the soprano clarinet for this piece instead. Find on Youtune version from Sharon Kam with Prague Orchestra who plays it on basset clarinet . The best performace EVER!
@@witeksz.8926 Yes I have listened to Sharon Kam with her basset clarinet in Mozarts Clarinet Quintet. Wonderful interpretation! Now I shall also listen to her in the Conserto with Prague Orchestra. Thank you!
@@witeksz.8926 Now I have listen to Sharon Kam and Prague Orchestra in this Clarinet Consert. And let me just say that I from now on has two favourites. Sharon with her basset clarinet is playing wonderful, but also Arngunnur in this consert is spledid, without the basset clarinet. I just love them both in their playing.
@@staffanolofsson8201 KV622 always used to be my favorite composition so I've heard many performaces ,just basset clarinet fits perfectly into structure sounds great and by far is my favorite version among all other.
The spirit of Mozart’s music has been crystallizing itself forever and ever and never to be dead with its beauty and its simplicity harmoniously being melted into the eternity in the hearts of Mozart lovers.
Beautiful rendition. Amazing how she kepped the whole sheet music in her mind. This young lady belongs to a new group of young virtuoso people who pleasered is with great music.
I never fail to stand in awe when I hear this amazing work of Mozart. When I first heard it I could almost not believe that it was the product of a mortal.
There's no doubt that Mozart was the greatest composer ever, this is just living proof. This young lady is a fine instrumentalist, this piece is interpreted beautifully.
From the 14' is magnificent. I love the lightness of Mozart. His music is at the same time light and deep. With his notes he gives so many emotions. Glad to find this masterpiece today.
Like! I can offer you my vision of this brilliant work ua-cam.com/video/pKa5PdfyCbs/v-deo.html along with beautiful nature videos. There are also many other interesting videos on my channel. If you like it, subscribe to my channel.
This composition is played often enough on the classic repertoire, but this is a first time I found myself listing to it over and over. I was and still am enchanted and mesmerized by this interpretation. Art at its purest.
Sometimes everything turns out to be the best, like here with Arngunnur Árnadóttir on fantastic clarinet, Iceland Symphonic Orchestra at its top with a splendid conductor, and of course Mozart himself. Few moments in life are a fullfillment of all your dreams, but I think this moment is one of that kind.
And Mozart joyfully laughs, for this sublime rendering of his masterpiece clarinet concerto. (He said it all with this, so there is no other for the clarinet.) The extraordinary soloist, the ensemble in complete and gorgeous synch with her (the end of the second movement is breathtaking!), and not least the conductor who clearly is channeling Mozart-it is the best. Thank you for your love of this music, and for investing your lives in it, for all of us.
An this wonderful soloist plays it EVER SO BEAUTIFULLY. Whenever I wanna hear a bit of 'classical' music to warm my heart and soul, I play THIS recording. Great and VERY measured performance. Thank you!!! Ms Arngunnur Árnadóttir !!!!
This beautiful piece and artist are a beautiful respite in our hour of this pandemic! Thank you, thank you, from the bottom of my heart! I am proud to say that I am 94 and still, and always shall enjoy the best of classical music, which this is! I cannot wait to hear the National Symphony Orchestra and soloists in person!! Until then, may everyone be safe! Bunny Bialek
Whenever i hear this solo clarinet part....I am overcome with the beauty ~ my heart explodes...transported into the Sublime. Enraptured...no words really.
And the magic of Amgunnur's performance has led to more than 15 million requests. Mozart also deserves our admiration, as does the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, Perfection,
Stunning. Arnadottir has such beauty in the way she plays she is clearly talented and demonstrates the perfect etiquette with humility and passion, and overall an outstanding performance.
Even though other orchestras are playing with the same instrument, I am impressed by this orchestra why there is such a deep and mellow sound. That's excellent! From classic fans in Tokyo
One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed, impeccably performed in such a gorgeous setting. I am in awe! (My wife and I have listened to this recording many (many) times over the past few years, and it never ceases to delight.)
The Magic of Mozart!! It doesn't get any better than this! Thank you young lady, orchestra and director for a most delightful performance! Best Wishes from rural Mississippi, USA!
When I listen to this music, I feel like I’ve been drawn into a fantastic world where I'm admiring a Beautiful as well as Simple white rose without a thorn.
“This is great-ish” says Mozart after composing this piece. Literally every clarinetist now plays this piece and thinks it is the best thing to ever happen to the clarinet. Mozart is great.
Im a 76 year old amateur clarinetist, and I'm in awe of this young lady's super, super talent. This piece throws just about every challenge to the clarinetist there is , as for the classical genre. There are often long complex areas with no extended places of rest...the performer is completely exhausted by the end.. She is quite lovely as well...I hope she has a grandfather who appreciates her talent as much as I do.🧡. personal note to her:. Have you ever tried American Swing or Dixieland ?? 😄,..it's great fun.
About grandfathers...I am also 76 and I have also tried the clarinet. Without so much success I have to say. And I just love Arngunnurs playing, despite age. Her playing is something for all of us, young or old. Greetings from Sweden!
Island-ish is really a strange language. As a swede I can understand I% but I also like the other 99%. Listen to this poet (yes, she is also a poet, not only a clarinetist): ua-cam.com/video/hmbq3nD5sEc/v-deo.html
And if I shall continue my opinion about Islanders I think 25% of them are fishermen, 25% are sheep farmers, 25 % are writers or poets (very good, I have read quite a lot of them) and the rest are alcoholics (perhaps also poets). So we Swedes feel a great connection with Islanders, our broderfolk.
This is the composition that hooked me on classical (and Mozart) when I was a teen. I have listenened to it many, many times over the years and have never appreciated it more than in this performance. BRAVO, BRAVISSIMO
On listening to this melody I find myself being drawn into the another world where “ Simplicity and Beauty ” are pretty harmoniously melted into the eternally crystallized one.

I am a wdow, of a few yrs, I miss my husband so much, the lonliness is unbarable, when I play this music, I seem to gain strengh, to carry on. so talented. Thank you so much Gwyneth from Wales
Ooh I'm heartbroken too😭😭helps to go on, definitely. In fact all Mozart🙌
Dear Gwyneth, I am now 82 and have had my share of the good and the bad, but mostly the blessed goodness in my life. Through the years both my heart, and indeed my soul, have been captured by these musical classics. They gift me with tranquility, serenity and happiness which tend to overshadow the physical life. I hope that they will continue to do that for you. Bob Angell, USA
i am widower from 21 years and i like this concert
I couldn’t have worded a more perfect reply than Robert’s from the USA. Stay strong Gwyneth and gain strength from listening to the blessed music of Beethoven, Bach and Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. Tomorrow is my husband’s angel day, twenty years ago I lost him and still miss him.. I understand. Blessings, Barb, B.C., Canada.
Hope you are grand Gwyn? I get you babe. Chin up...'cause that's the way it goes. X
This is the very concerto, that was played at my brother`s funeral. It brought me back to the days, that he and I played together more than six decades ago. We both loved the same music, which my parents and other siblings also liked. Now they are all dead and I am left with so many beautiful memories. This piece will always remind me of my childhood.
You sound Dutch/Belgium somehow. You're from which year ? I'm from '38. I can relate. My symphaty. ( spelling check not on, French, Dutch, English, too complicated !)
Sir, you have had a wonderfully cultured family!
When I read your comment I immediately imagined 2 men playing together and a great joy achieved, I also felt a sadness of your loss, but what remains is gratitude of the time spent together and wonderful memories which when life is near its' end , is all we have.
Best everything to yo and yours!

I used to play this for my daughter when she was a baby. Her body moved rhythmically between the orchestra and the clarinet! Thank you Amadeus!
The spirit of Mozart’s works woven musically of Beauty and Simplicity has been crystallizing on through the ages for ever and ever in the hearts of Mozart lovers.
Not embarrassed to say I cried hearing this. Beautiful.
Special piece of music for me.
What a talented young lady.
🙏
I don’t understand how can you cry to something like this ..
I know it’s a beautiful piece,but it’s not an emotional one like nocturne or sonata lol
Hope that you won’t get offended by my opinion,I’m a big fan of classical music.
Hope that you will tell me why you cried to this one 😂
As I listen to this they are burying my brother-in-law, who was a talented clarinetist. Although i think of it as a tribute to him, I marvel at the clarity of her performance. And yes, it did bring me to tears.
@@pinquebluebird3466 wow sorry for your loss
@@am0nii45 bien, que clase de autoridad tienes tú para determinar qué puede emocionar a otra persona? Tu comentario me parece estúpido, malintencionado e innecesario. Sin ofender.
My girlfriend and I were driving down the coast of California and I played this Concerto for her .
She would not get out of the car till it ended . She was silent the entire time and I knew she
Was deeply moved, she said as much. . .
She left me shortly after, 9 years now, but I always believe I left this piece to her as a kind of life gift .
sorry for the separation, be thankful for the goood memories
Aww
You were too deep or she knew she was too shallow 💕✨

I've been playing that piece for 55 years, I have good days, but mostly I have never achieved anywhere near perfection. Being 73 years old and having had lung cancer, I'm now very unlikely to get any better, but I will always enjoy trying.
My flute teacher told me that, even for masters, for Bach and Mozart there is always something to improve/tweak even if the audience does not notice any difference.
@@oliviernoir6669 Agreed. I have heard some things in her interpretation that I should pull out my clarinet, which I haven't played in about 10 years and try.
you can always improve, no matter how old you are
I pray for healing upon your condition. Amen

What a wonderful as well as great legacy left us humanity it would be that the spirit of Mozart’s music will have been living on forever and ever and never to be dead eternally in the hearts of Mozart lovers all over the world💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

I can't believe she's playing this from memory. Super impressive.
Most soloists play concertos from memory 😊
@@DerLiesl And same with singers who are soloists.
Trust me, the really impressive thing is learning the piece and getting the gnarly bits down. By the time you've done that, memorization is a side effect. Many thousands of hours made it possible for her to do that. Music is a lot of work!
@@sundayoliver3147thousands? Probably tens of thousands of hours to become like the one who is playing without notes.
The Adagio Part gives me goosebumps and leaves me speecheless each time. Incredible that Mozart composed this 2 months before he died. This piece remains immortal.
me too - shivers. It is beyond beautiful.
Anne-Sophie, you are probably right. In my books it says that KV 622 was composed 1791 (?). and this ? indicates an uncertainty. Anyway, this was one of his last compositions. He died the same year 1791. I can only love this music even more, knowing this.
it goes deep in heart and touch some point there.
Agree on all points!
Also for me it's unbelievable.... heavenly.... 👍👍👍
Who is listening to Mozart during the COVID lockdown?
Hopefully, when things start to move towards another normal next year that the enjoyment of Mozart's music will not go away.
Everyone should listen to Mozart every day to lift your spirits!
@@edwardsmith7729 Mozart was an alcoholic with daddy issues and crippling debt, he was also rumored to harass his female students.
@@eitanwacks3635 and??
I am.....
@@eitanwacks3635 This idiot seems to get all his knowledge of Mozart from that poor Milod Forman movie which tried to make Mozart more accessible by making him out to be a pop star. If she knew anyyhing about music, she would know know that Mozart wasn't alcoholic. That film libels not only Mozart by also the people around him. His wife wasn't a stupid middle class woman interested mainly in money, but a famous violinist. Forman gives to Mozart a family from which could only a produced an alcoholic popstar.
I am by no means a classical music expert and watching a creation such as this I am not only amazed at the genius which created it but the evolution of everything that made it possible from the moment someone figured out how to create those instruments from wood, metal, valves, and strings to create such sounds. Then the people who dedicated their lives to master these instruments and bring them all together to create the beautiful sound we hear is nothing short of genius and miraculous.
Music, the instruments to play it, and the skill to play the instruments: crowning glories of humanity.
Yes, I always have the feeling that the audience should applaud the composer, the instrument makers, and many more.

Listening to this washes away the cares of the world. When all else fails, turn to Mozart. Thank you, musicians.
I lost my husband of 63 years of marriage, Sept 2019 and this piece of music has always been my favorite and comforts me. Also my daughter played it when she was in high school. This was beautiful.

The number of the viewers of this video outnumbers the population of this country! Really well done to the country's music education which has resulted in such an orchestra.
and now, a year later, the viewers are 12 TIMES the population of Iceland. This orchestra and my friend Arngunnur really are wonderful :)

Der Geist von Mozarts Musik hat sich für immer und ewig herauskristallisiert und ist niemals tot. Seine Schönheit und Einfachheit verschmolzen harmonisch mit der Ewigkeit in den Herzen der Mozart-Liebhaber.
Eines der schönsten Klarinettenkonzerte und perfekt dargeboten. Eine Freude zu zuhören. Ich höre es immer wieder gerne. Bravo.
I agree with you. From Japan 🇯🇵, JST、2:44分
There is no rival to classical music, and Mozart, of course, composed in the Classical period. When I listen, all the chaos of my life recedes and there is... only harmony.
Are you sure, there's no looking Bach!!!
Unless there's a fugue: then there's polyphony.
Indeed, this is all harmony,. and the music flows like a river, or a movie without cuts, or a beautiful dream..
The chaos you mentioned had impressed me too. You can overcome it, there are so many ways, as maybe with a friend's help (I mean an actual friend, even if Mozart is one of the best friend people can have 🙂)
There is a therapy based partly on Mozart's music for children- called Tomatis Method.
Listening Mozart I feel totally zen, relaxed,almost hypnotised.
What a genius, died so young!
"No rival to classical music . . ." (?) Never heard of . . . jazz (100 years) . . . or rock (70 years) . . . or Broadway (100 years) . . . or folk (hundreds of years) (?)
The sounds of Mozart’s music inspiringly do pour awesomely a certain kind of spirtual energy with the wonderfully harmonious melody woven of “ beauty and simplicity” through my ears and into♡my heart 🤎
poetry music is sometimes fluid like honey
Suzuki said it was the voice of God in Mozart, and that it said to him, Life is hard, but it's okay.❤
It is so amazing what humans are capable of. This soloist is so excellent, and is flawless during this long piece. Backed by a group of individuals who somehow together are providing such a wonderful orchestral sound. And, of course, Mozart, who could sculpt such a piece specifically for this instrument, and who could engage our minds and our emotions so hypnotically. One can trace Mozart's growth and maturity over the years. This is one of his very last works, when we can see an exceptional depth of feeling and warmth to accompany his basic musical genius. If only he lived longer, we might see and hear even more. One can only imagine how great that would have been!
Yes, imagine Mozart at 65 wrote a new consert for clarinet! We will never know how it would sound. Even better than this?
Along those lines, I wrote a saxophone [invented in 1840s] concerto in Mozart style: ua-cam.com/video/0qqzPvbn2LM/v-deo.html
Mozart's creations would have propelled into even greater heights than ever due to inspiration by...Beethoven!@@staffanolofsson8201
IMO Joseph Woelfl's piano concertos, and John Field's Piano Concerto #2, get the award for "best Mozart after Mozart"
When I listen to Mozart’s music I’m often reminded that I must never forget that “ I’m kept alive and loved by God ”even in the face of hardships in life never living only by myself 💕
cosi is about almost infedelity the voices sublime
❤
Same - Amen ❤
❤
We're never alone, just sometimes feel alone. There's the trees, rain and play of light and shadows day by day... and Mozart.
I am 11 years old and this is my first year of playing clarinet and I hope to play this piece in the future😊
Just keep practicing! We are the silent force.
You will play it someday. If you like it, you'll be good at it. Just stick to the playing. It will pay off. (experience talking)
I also started playing clarinet at your age, and after a few years was able to play most of this concerto. I am 79 years old now, and still love this piece.
@@chesslerbooks Hope this doesn't sound like I'm calling you old haha but how different were clarinets when you were young? Was there still a lot of difference in sound between different clarinets (e.g. different lengths) or had they been sorted by then?

The Emotions of Mozart’s Music Without Borders.
Mozart’s music deeply touches both the minds and hearts of listeners, transcending cultural and geographical boundaries.
His compositions convey a profound tapestry of emotions, weaving together joy, hope, sorrow, and loneliness. Each note intertwines moments of happiness and sadness, resonating even in the most hopeless circumstances.
Mozart’s music embodies joy and emotion, reaching deeply into the human spirit. His work continues to resonate with people worldwide, leaving an enduring impact on souls and hearts. Each piece embarks on a journey of innovation and inspiration, creating an emotional connection that is truly timeless. ❤🎉
I admire her capacity to the sustained ability for the length of her continued uninterrupted flow of music and it's strength of deliverance. What talent, I was a semi pro cyclist and I realize her ability for her lung compacity says how incredible her performance is. And all remembered with out sheet music.

I was in Iceland back in 2019 - spent 3 weeks there. Absolutely breathtaking place. And saw that concert hall from the outside too. But - what really strikes me is this - a nation of just 350,000 people - and you have such rich talents there. This clarinetist is definitely world class - never heard of this concerto played so effortlessly as this.
The orchestra is also world class

This video inspired me to purchase a clarinet at a thrift store and try to remember how to play 🙏. Wish me luck 🍀
Good luck Tim.
Just play for fun. Forget all the evaluations of "beginner," "pro," etc. The greatest way to let out creative energy is to ask God to bless your playing, to play for His glory, to spread joy when possible, and just to enjoy it. It's when you are most relaxed and free of expectations that you let your true talent come forth. Every best wish!

Beautiful concert played by Iceland Symphony Orchestra. Iceland only has a population of 350,000, which makes it all so much outstanding and wonderful. Congratulations, Iceland!!!

A good shout against multiculturalism, same with Japan. By keeping a homogenous population, they seem to not have the typical ills of most societies. I realise that not a popular concept, but just why are countries like Iceland so very successful, crime-free and healthy? There are cities bigger than Iceland in every other country that could never field any decent orchestra, and they also do well in Ice Hockey and Football.

ביצוע מעולה...מוצרט היה מרוצה...
I've listened to this several times. The performance is exquisite and the sound balance between the clarinet and the orchestra is outstanding.
I couldn‘t agree more!!!

Beautiful rendering - orchestra and soloist
Dear Arngunnur Arnadottir, there are so many compliments and comments made for you by the time I write this one of mine that I failed to read them all. But I must do before I cannot. I am a 75 y. o. Khmer (Cambodian) man who has been listening to your lovely performance I can't remember when and always has enjoyed it every times. I am no musician, but I am a music lover.
Thank you so much for sharing this life beauty with me. I have owed you so much, thank again.
It is no exaggeration to say Mozart’s musical sensibility which wonderfully harmonizes with “ Beauty and Simplicity” belongs to an another world.
Why do I love Mozart's music so much? It's only some very simple notes aligned together, but it never fails to make me smile or to move me. Mozart created a perfect world through his music where I feel safe and well. I wish I could go back in time to thank him personally.
Also congratulations to the orchestra and the soloist for this wonderful interpretation.
I too wish I could go back and thank him profusely. He is the best composer of all time, and I think it will stay that way forever.

I was stationed in Iceland in 1985 and I bought this concerto on CD and have listened to it since then. My favorite Mozart concerto.
I was a very talented clarinet player when I was young (14 years old), I earned 1st chair in the state. Since then I lost the motivation to practice and by the time I was in college band I was mediocre at best. I haven’t played since but this brings me back to how fulfilling it was to create such a beautiful sound. I miss being a musician so much.
Never give up what you love. Keep the faith in yourself. Help friends in need. The rest can wait.
Then become one again. Trust yourself and spend time on your dreams.
Sara Morris I recently picked up the clarinet after a 20 year break! I share similar experience to yours, played and competed at high level. Opting to focus on a different career track in college, I became a spectator. Over the years I realized how much I missed playing and decided 2020 was it. Muscle memory is real and though I'm stuck on the lower range for now, I am just happy to be playing again. It's been a great outlet during this quarantine period. As others have said, never too late to get back to your passions 😊🎶. Best wishes!

Thanks Heidi it sounds for
finding this it's Wouderful
Tihs has always been one of my favourite pieces of Mozart. I first discovered it when I was 13, and now at 65, I find even more, so much more, in it. What a wonder he was. And this is an inspiring performance in all respects. Thank you.
11 million requests for this performance, a nunber still growing steadily....In a way that says it all.....I admit to quite a few of these requests, looking to this perfection at times when I hunger for some relief. Most times I tear up a bit while listening, not just touched by her performance, but also by the widespread adulation earned by Amgunnur Amadottir. She has clearly touched many lives, bringing positivity and joy. What she feels about the extraordinary response and ongoing admiration, I can hardly imagine....but it is real and deserved. As many say, music can be magical.
This Adagio brings tears to my eyes - we are so blessed to be able to listen to these masterpieces even after centuries ......
My late father was a Professor of Music and a clarinetist. I grew up hearing him practice this Concerto. So much so that I remember nearly every note of the first and second movements, and much of the third. This brings back many memories. (He studied it with Robert Marcellus, BTW. He would come home from lessons inspired beyond speech.) Ms. Árnadóttir plays it somewhat differently than Dad did - smoother than he - but her rendition is beautiful.
I am a bit envious having a musician farther. Must have been amazing 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍
Marcellus - amazing teacher! I did not study with him, but attended numerous master classes he gave. He said (1980's): Play every note as if it is worth $50.
The performance by Árnadóttir gives an overwhelmingly beautiful and masterful performance played by memory. The Clarinet Concerto is intense, engaging, triumphant and graceful as unique. Simply wonderful captivating musical treasure.
Pretty boring if you ask me. Everyone has their own taste I guess.

The more I listen, the more I understand how GOOD this is, compared to other uptakings. There is a freshness about it, a certain feeling of "this is how it shall sound" and the uptaking sound is very good too. And upon that Arngunnur is playing with such an authority and insight in this work that I can nothing but enjoy. She even has the time to adjust her blade in an orchestral passage without any hurry!

From the 14' is magnificent.

And the magic of Amgunnur's performance has led to more than 15 million requests. Mozart also deserves our admiration, as does the Iceland Symphony Orchestra, Perfection,
I m i n heaven, maybe............♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
so so beautifully executed
Stunning. Arnadottir has such beauty in the way she plays she is clearly talented and demonstrates the perfect etiquette with humility and passion, and overall an outstanding performance.
Even though other orchestras are playing with the same instrument, I am impressed by this orchestra why there is such a deep and mellow sound. That's excellent! From classic fans in Tokyo
One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever composed, impeccably performed in such a gorgeous setting. I am in awe! (My wife and I have listened to this recording many (many) times over the past few years, and it never ceases to delight.)
What a beautiful piece perfectly executed by this lovely young lady.
The Magic of Mozart!! It doesn't get any better than this! Thank you young lady, orchestra and director for a most delightful performance! Best Wishes from rural Mississippi, USA!
When I listen to this music, I feel like I’ve been drawn into a fantastic world where I'm admiring a Beautiful as well as Simple white rose without a thorn.
“This is great-ish” says Mozart after composing this piece.
Literally every clarinetist now plays this piece and thinks it is the best thing to ever happen to the clarinet.
Mozart is great.
"Great-ish?" I think that Mozart may have meant stupendous!
@@moasilgetmoasilget1229 what difference would it have made if he had?
Cool
all of you guys ate glue when you were little
Thank you.
Im a 76 year old amateur clarinetist, and I'm in awe of this young lady's super, super talent. This piece throws just about every challenge to the clarinetist there is , as for the classical genre. There are often long complex areas with no extended places of rest...the performer is completely exhausted by the end.. She is quite lovely as well...I hope she has a grandfather who appreciates her talent as much as I do.🧡. personal note to her:. Have you ever tried American Swing or Dixieland ?? 😄,..it's great fun.
About grandfathers...I am also 76 and I have also tried the clarinet. Without so much success I have to say. And I just love Arngunnurs playing, despite age. Her playing is something for all of us, young or old. Greetings from Sweden!
Island-ish is really a strange language. As a swede I can understand I% but I also like the other 99%. Listen to this poet (yes, she is also a poet, not only a clarinetist): ua-cam.com/video/hmbq3nD5sEc/v-deo.html
And if I shall continue my opinion about Islanders I think 25% of them are fishermen, 25% are sheep farmers, 25 % are writers or poets (very good, I have read quite a lot of them) and the rest are alcoholics (perhaps also poets). So we Swedes feel a great connection with Islanders, our broderfolk.
This is the composition that hooked me on classical (and Mozart) when I was a teen. I have listenened to it many, many times over the years and have never appreciated it more than in this performance. BRAVO, BRAVISSIMO
For me, I fell in love with Mozart listening to the Marriage of Figaro. Mozart was a rock star.
On listening to this melody I find myself being drawn into the another world where “ Simplicity and Beauty ” are pretty harmoniously melted into the eternally crystallized one.
This music brings happiness and hope for better days. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely the best rendition of this piece of breathtaking Mozart ever.
