Lennie wasn't just a pianist or a conductor, he was an ARTIST. This is a big difference. His ability, knowledge and humanity allows him to dialogue and strengthen the human bond. What a Marvel. Thanks Ruben Siedner
the reason this performance is so special is because it means so much to Bernstein, and it really comes through in the way it is played, genuine feeling and meaning...
I'm very glad to encounter another person who loves this work, which has always been (in each of its three movements) my favorite among all of Mozart's piano concertos.
This tempo is the tempo that can bring you for one moment to the paradise, and it is Mozart who did one part and Leny the other for this unique experience. It is even too fast if you wood like to stay longer in the heaven of Mozart...
Very beautiful and inspired. Bruno Walter, in his rehearsals, used to stop the players by commenting: "Sing, sing, sing". Isaac Stern recommended his students to sing vocally a phrase and then try to play it on the violin. Here we have an example of what is meant by letting an instrument sing like out of human vocal cords. And this is the difference between a pianist and an ARTIST. Lennie was the latter! In the history of interpretation I know but very few others: Schnabel, Clara Haskil, Dinu Lipatti, Emil Gilels, Murry Perahia (especially in this concerto as well as No 18) and again Clara... Clara... Clara Haskil!
Not many humans, regardless of their technical and artistic abilities, would be able to sing this movement at the tempo he plays and conducts here. It is purely subjective, of course, but I find the tempo a bit too slow, even for an Andante.
Add Lily Kraus, Dame Mitzuko Uchida, Alicia de Larrocha, Martha Argerich, Maria João Pires, Dame Myra Hess, Maurizio Pollini, the late Radu Lupu, and (alas) Walter Gieseking to the list.
He changed his mind about his favourite peices of music just as he changed his mind about his favourite boyfreinds it used to be beethovan string quartet opus 131 with the vienna philamonika then Mahler5 andso on still does not detract from his charisma and talent he surely was a fabulous artiste but very fickle.
@@sarahjones641 I think he was starting to realize later in life , that here he is still stunned at mozarts music he wrote at 30 years old. BEETHOVEN didn't write his eroica until he was 35. In the last year of Bersteins life, he was playing a lot of mozart. Every musical genius points to Mozart as an inspiration. To me, he surpassed Bach in the melody and emotion department and no one else even comes close to mozarts talent.
i've noticed on loads of yt videos people saying too slow too fast etc what i found was in my younger years listening to a piece over and over again if it was a good performance it crystallised in me the ideal speed and then i found later other faster/slower pieces distracting at times, if it is well played and musical then slightly slower/faster doesn't matter really after all where does adagio,lento allegro etc start or finish?
Anche secondo me è troppo lento. Però io non ho la competenza di fare critiche, soprattutto al mio adorato Leonard Bernstein... Forse ho ascoltato altre esecuzioni diverse e devo abituarmi a questa, che mi sembra molto difficile. Mi viene il dubbio che sia il primo ascolto... Un abbraccio a tutti gli amanti della musica e a chi posta questi video stupendi 💕🥰🙏💚
You can go further and realize .ozart studied Bach a lot here. Mozart easily surpassed Bach in Melody and chromaticsm. 20 more years , he would've surpassed Bach in everything if he didn't get bored to death first.
Hier dürfen wir einen kurzen Einblick in irdisches Glück erleben. Nur hier existiert Trost für die Menschheit und Heilung im Innersten. Daher das langsame Tempo. Haben die Ignoranten noch nicht einmal Zeit, um ins Paradies zu lauschen? Wer Ohren hat, der hat hier ein tiefes Geschenk, wer keine hat, sollte lieber Hören lernen, bevor er zugibt, von Musik nichts zu verstehen.
I don't believe Bernstein hasn't used metronome, and I believe WPO's cooperation with him. Even Mozart himself had interpreted other composers' masterpieces. No interpretation reproduce Mozart's original idea, feeling and meaning. We can not have Mozart play his own great piece for us; the continuing of music's life relies on generations of interpretations.
I've been listening to Mozart 35 years, and I think it's a tad slow. Here is a comparison of what I think should be the correct tempo. Also this performance is the best on UA-cam imo. ua-cam.com/users/clipUgkx5OyPkZl4R9scbfs8qLpeqZx2J1fujk8Z
indeed this sounds more adagio than andante. anyway no point to argue on tempo, mozart was dead when metronome was invented. and there is no reliable source on the exact corresponding tempo to andante, adagio, allegro... (the wikipedia one is certainly not correct).
L'universalité de Bernstein dans la musique. Et c'est Vienne qui nous le prouve !

Сегодня уже так не играют…это какое-то волшебство…

One of music's most underrated compositions. This movement just gets me every time.

10:07 - I like how he seems to want to vibrato the held note.
Hehe real maestro
OLD SCHOOL TEACHINGS...
That moment at 7:42 brings so much perfect beauty. The theme at 12:12 is great as well. Perfect paradise. Rhapsody.
Du hast Recht nafetsolev. Dieses Tempo bringt uns dem Paradies näher. Mozart gelangte zu Lebzeiten schon hin!!!

what a genius, plays and conducts, what couldnt he do. it must have been nice to sit there and play anything u want.
Mozart did that too, but he was also expected to actually write it. ;)
It was Bernstein's favourite piece of music
how do you know this surely Mahler was his very favourite.
go to this and you will find your answer :

and if they aren't? Let it be, please let it be.
Wonderful 0_0
This is art, while you analyze it in scientific manner.
Beautiful. But a few seconds are missing from the end of this second movement. Dear Mr Peoski Could you please correct and repost?
Has anyone noticed the main theme sounds similar to the opening of Schubert’s Die bist die ruh?

Schubert studied Mozart probably more than Beethoven because they were Similar

Chopin advised his pupils to go to the Opera in order to learn how to sing with the piano.
then how does sound wave propagate in the air?
where is the rest of this movement?
The Steinway salesmen will say:"He's playing a piano-shaped object."
5'53 are the violins together?
When was this? Why can’t you put down basic info?

year?
i answer myself... date of recording: 10/1981
This piece has 135 bars. At 3/4 tempo, that's 405 beats in over 12 minutes. Such a slow tempo isn't even on my metronome.
For this being his favorite piece, I wish he practiced it more. Mozart is rolling over in his grave.
It is not too slow.

Sorri i mean 7'53
Ugh. You cut off the end!
Definitely needs to be just a little faster.
Who can improve on this
Krystian Zimerman and Evgeny Kissin can.
I guess I could do without the high frequency distortion.
This is a modern interpretation, let it go. Who could surpass this?
Too slow? In this piece, time does not exist.
Yes, definitely too slow - who's the pianist?
Raises eyebrows!
Yes, definitely too slow
