fineartist - I still can't believe how Bernstein could extract the very best out of an orchestra. The only conductor that can come close nowadays is Valery Giergev. He's cut from a different cloth, but somehow he they both find ways to get these amazing musicians inspired to make these masterful performances. He's not the best pianist, but the integration with the orchestra takes my breath away.
Lenny was a true musical Renaissance man. He was a giant! I think his greatest gift to the world was that he had such love of music and was always so eager to share it. I've watched so much music on UA-cam during the last several years (after I discovered how much classical music it has!), and there's no other conductor who literally looks as joyful as Lenny does when he's conducting (not every minute, of course).
Those that can't do teach. Bernstein is known for his conducting. Little abovd Average in almost everything else . Glad he picked this concerto. One of mozarts hidden gems with romanticism before Beethoven
"If I absolutely had to name my all time favorite piece of music, I think I would vote for the andante of mozart's piano concerto No. 17" Leonard Bernstein 1959.
Sublime.He Was also good in Mozart.Absolutely amazing.I came originally from Bavaria.During his last years He made different recordings at some beautiful churches in my beautiful country.Mostly Mozart and Haydn.Unforgettable.
The Piano Concerto No. 17 in G major, KV. 453, by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, was written in 1784. The work is orchestrated for solo piano, flute, two oboes, two bassoons, two horns, and strings. As is typical with concertos, it is in three movements: Allegro Andante in C major Allegretto - Presto According to the date that the composer himself noted on the score, the concerto was completed on April 12, 1784. The date of the premiere is uncertain. In one view, the work is said to have been premiered by Mozart's student Barbara Ployer on June 13, 1784, at a concert to which Mozart had invited Giovanni Paisiello to hear both her and his new compositions, including also his recently written Quintet in E flat for Piano and Winds. Afterwards, Ployer was joined by Mozart in a performance of the Sonata for Two Pianos, K. 448. Another possibility, advanced by Lorenz (2006, 314), is that Mozart did not wait over two months to premiere the work, but performed it in his concert with Regina Strinasacchi on 29 April 1784 at the Kärntnertortheater. As a general consensus for researchers, it can be said with relative certainty that the work premiered during the mid-to-late spring of 1784, following its completion. The finale is a variation movement whose theme was sung by Mozart's starling.
Fabuloso maestro e grande pianista,que infelizmente já cá não está,para partilhar connosco toda a sua arte.Desde criança me habituei a vê-lo,muito em especial no concerto de Ano Novo esperando pela sua presença nos espectáculos.Admirável o ensinamento que os meus Pais nos passaram.Como esperava-mos por esse dia.Obrigada mãe e pai por nos terem dado a oportunidade,de conhecermos tão valioso Mestre.Somos 4 filhos e a todos foi dada a oportunidade de apreender a ouvir o que de bom existe!!!!
What a sublime performance of such a perfect composition! Such genius and beauty of musician and man occurs very rarely combined as it was in Mozart and Leonard Bernstein. We need to be more thankful for such phenomenons as they were----and for the Vienna Philharmonic too. What an orchestra! What conducting !!
@@vicentemontequin4113 Bach was good and a genius. But I don't even think Bach was as talented as Mozart was. Yes Bach lived longer to create better fugues. It doesn't make him more talented. I'm saying from a natural talent perspective, it's hard not to pick mozart as #1
What a lovely surprise to find this video online! This work has always been my very favorite among Mozart's piano concertos. I am grateful for the opportunity to see and hear this beautiful performance, in which Bernstein succeeds in establishing a sort of chamber-music relationship with the orchestra.
Fantastique Bernstein ! Non seulement chef d'orchestre, mais aussi un fameux pianiste ! Et qui sait diriger les Wiener Philharmoinker d'une main dès que sa partition pour piano lui permet d'avoir une main libre à son clavier, et montrer aux Viennois qu'ile peuvent l'adopter !
A marvelous performance. One can hear that it is a dirigent who lead the orchestra from the piano. He create the concert together with the orchestra and make a totally. he is sencitive for the important role the orchestra has in Mozarts concertos. Many of Mozarts concertos is like made for leading from the piano. A very intelligent performance.
@@prager5046 not a stupid statement at all. You can find genius in all of them. But this one? It's so good, Beethoven couldn't take anything from it. Lol
Mozart, un genio que traducia en notas los sentimientos mas dificiles de describir... esta musica simplemente te transporta a un mundo diferente en donde puedes ser plenamente feliz
I knew, of course, that as a genial composer and conductor he played the piano but didn't know he in addition would make it as soloist. Great Bernstein!!
Magnificent!...🎹 I'm in Love..I can watch him graciously, effortlessly like a cloud & the Sun move his hands across the piano as if he isn't even touching the keys...🎁💞🎁...such intensity, feeling, e-motion, experience. He adds to and improves any piece as composer, Maestro. You can hear & feel Classical 🎶 alive.
A lot of "Haydnesque" surprises in this piece. Even his 16th. If I was at the premier of any of those and a composer, I would seriously be questioning my ability to compete!
La música mozartina no tiene desperdicio, me llena espiritualmente. Refleja todo tipo de sentimientos hasta los más profundos. La apariencias engañan. Mozart aparentaría exteriormente una cosa pero interiormente era otra muy distinta( algo canta en mi oído......?)
Buenísima interpretación. Que buena grabación. Una joya para guardar en mi estuche mi querido concierto 17 del gran Mozart. Estupenda orquesta y gran Bernstein ❤
I am trying to discover why mozart used so many half steps in pieces. For an example in this G major concerto he would use A # and then go down a half to B. I like the way it sounded.
Mozart is a crazy person, he was a genius and things sound nice when he does it but then when you go and analyse it it looks really weird and you break your brain trying to figure out how he did it :D
It is said that the best Mozart's interpreter is Mitsuko Uchida; that she is the the perfect pianist for his masterpieces. Anyway, I love those interpretations 🎵🎵💚
Ethan you are right,ignore ignorant remarks,Maestro Bernstein was mostly delightful to listen to playing concert piano but his conducting was vastly superior.
@@benjamintscholl Actually, it really is bad piano playing, speaking at a high professional level. It doesn't detract from LB in the slightest though, because he's a musical genius, and frankly, West Side Story is such a great contribution to music, that we can forgive him anything, including this performance. But, it doesn't make it great !!!! And it's no excuse to run down amazing pianists like Pollini, as someone has done in this thread. Finally, asking someone to prove their right to an opinion by providing a full video of themselves opens up an interesting can of worms. If you believe this, then in order to validate your own statements, where is your full length video?

Hungry, thirsty, sleep deprived, no matter if im in pain, this is the kind of music that always makes me smile.

Bernstein is Mr Beethoven and Mr Mozart, what a astonishing man.

This music absolutely beautiful and always be part of my life and Mr. Bernstein amazing musician ❤️
God Bless you Mr. Bernstein, for sharing both your talent and the music.

One of the most beautiful and honest performances of this piece. Thank you for sharing. Few people can find the soul in all types of music like LB.
One of the best pianist and a conductor Leonard Berstein.Fantastic Philarmonic.Bravo..Marie J Johnson.
The joy of music is entirely expressed in this performance.
Love K. 453!!! Thank you, Mozart! Thank you, Leonard!

So fantastic musician Bernstein en amazing conducted, tank you very much merci beaucoup
This makes me want to live well.
Magnifique Bernstein, merci beaucoup c'est un souvenir très lointain, mais cela reste un beau souvenir
Mozart, the greatest genius of mankind
You're not far off. It was ridiculous how talented this man was
Along with Bach

DANKE für diese herzergreifende Musik und die einfühlsame Interpretation!
Un moment d’éternité ! Vive la musique ! Un bonheur si pur et si intense……
Bernstein just made everything sound good.
True love! Listen and Watch Lenny's love for Mozart

It's my favourite piano-concert from Mozart.
I totally agree
And it's long been my own favorite among Mozart's piano concerti as well
Stupid statement....you could say one of my favorite....there are many other piano concertos by Mozart who are pure gold.
@@prager5046 not a stupid statement at all. You can find genius in all of them. But this one? It's so good, Beethoven couldn't take anything from it. Lol
Perfect Music doesn’t exis-
"say no more"
Mozart, un genio que traducia en notas los sentimientos mas dificiles de describir... esta musica simplemente te transporta a un mundo diferente en donde puedes ser plenamente feliz
Para oír Confutatis del Réquiem de W.A.Mozart
I knew, of course, that as a genial composer and conductor he played the piano but didn't know he in addition would make it as soloist. Great Bernstein!!
Years ago, I was privileged to hear Bernstein perform Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. It was an experience that I shall never forget!
He was a far better pianist than I realized.
John Travena How could you not realize in the first instance the talent of Maestro Bernstein?
@@sarahjones-jf4pr You don't need to be a brilliant performer to be a great conductor. I'd never heard him perform except in his lectures.
@@johntravena119 he was also a great composer, nothing compared to Mozart but still very good
Maestro. .! De lo mejor que en el mundo de la música pudo haber existido...un genio.!!!
He was a genius! Thank you.
One of the best versions that i found! I can not believe that this video has many dislikes.. :(
When watching a film about Bernstein I learned that he is so good with Mozart
A delightful man! Bernstein!
Beautiful and timeless heavenly
Mozart himself! bernsteun is a gift from G-d to us all!
El Concierto!!!!! Para piano y orquesta qué más me gusta del Maestro Mozart, toda una Genealidad de Armonias....
Bernstein looks like Louis de Funes. He attracts people for his talent, comicality, clownery, charisma.
A wonderful human!
Magnificent!...🎹

I admit I never loved his compositions, but this.... this is brilliance!!!
When this originally premiered the audience must have been speechless!
A lot of "Haydnesque" surprises in this piece. Even his 16th. If I was at the premier of any of those and a composer, I would seriously be questioning my ability to compete!
Everyone makes this look so easy, especially from first chair violin 🎻 and the oboe player 🎫🎫🎫

SUPER,FANTASTIC,EXTRORDANEARY,FABULASE,COMPLEATLY,SUBERB PLAYING!!!!!!
This guy is so freaking amazing!
Brano delizioso, Bernstein sublime !!!!
It’s a monster of a piano. Bosendorfer Imperial, the distinct black base keys were a big clue.
piano sound absolutely typical of a Bosendorfer from the 1950 60s
Brilliant! Conducting, piano playing, clapping...

A true master.
Buenísima interpretación. Que buena grabación. Una joya para guardar en mi estuche mi querido concierto 17 del gran Mozart. Estupenda orquesta y gran Bernstein ❤
Magistral, no puedo decir nada más, solamente gracias.
Con questa meraviglia Vi auguro Buona Pasqua
The 17th is right up there with the 21st in my humble opinion! And Lennie! Well, what can one say. RIP Maestro!
Oh this is better than 21st. Even more romantic.
Nunca lo había visto tocando el piano ... súper!!
Enchanting!
SUPERB FANTASTIC BERNSTEIN. EXTRAORDINARY.
Just charming.... Gorgeous....
FABOLOUS !!! THANKS !!!!!!
"Lebhaft und liebenswuerdig" ........... I love it !

Here from Mike Rowe's podcast from The Way I heard it... newest thing, the Penniless Singer
Un genio del 900!!!
God's music!
WHOA only today I found out Bernstein played piano!
Where have you been??!
Ever studied History?
Don’t be unkind
Actually his comment was five years ago. He probably knows more about Lenny than you do now 😂

Lenny? Only chills!
Is this the awesome dude from the Phonology lecture series at Harvard?
Sorry to answer it 6 years later - but yes, he was that awesome dude.
Yep. Bernstein was classically trained at Harvard University
Lenny was one of the greatest humans to have ever inhabited this planet.
Bernie was great
Is the cadenza improvised? Parts of it sounds like it
Bernstein🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Délicieux...
Some more info please, who, when, where?
@honron21 is not out of tune is modify for the concert sounds similar cembalo no?
nice cadenza...
Nice to see a young Michael Caine on oboe.
Funny
