He came to Tokyo and played Sonate No30-32. I listened his live performance at the front yesterday. He was like interacting with Beethoven. I just forgot about myself and was surrounded by the sound of falling, and I felt bliss. Happiest moment. Heartfelt thanks to the maestro.
Daniel Barenboim The second-rated player! Barenboim so over-rated pianist! The greatest pianists of All Time Are really Artur Rubinstein ( The God) Grigory Sokolov ( The Titan The Giant of The piano) Emil Gilels ( The King) Wilhelm Kempff ( The beautiful piano sound) Vladimir Ashkenazy ( The most beautiful volcanic piano sound) Sviatoslav Richter Maurizio Pollini Solomon Cutner Maria Grinberg Natalia Trull, Stanislav Igolinsky ( better than Lipatti) Radu Lupu ( Brahms piano concerto no 1 with The Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra video UA-cam! Lupu a class of his own playing Brahms) Alexei Lubimov ( The Genius) Mikhail Pletnev ( The most Powerful Prokoviev piano concerto no 1)
I feel like Schiff was right when he said applause would be inappropriate after this piece. It's like the music is immortal and will always be present and we just happen to listen in. I think even Barenboim lingers on the keyboard as if he wants to continue just to delay applause. Wonderful interpretation!
such a knowledgeable audience must have been terribly conflicted... stay silent and acknowledge the transcendence - but possibly offend the maestro ?...surely he have known what their silence meant ?... a tough call... fortunately, we can applaud at home with no such quandary
@@MorrisDugan That'd indeed be the best possible response if you ask me. It just feels unsuitable if there's any (loud) sound after the ending of this piece.
These last three sonatas just stay with me, lingering around in my head and my heart. They are truly special pieces of music. They evoke the beauty and fragility of our short lives. They give us a reason to hold onto hope for humanity. I feel the same way with so many Mozart and Haydn pieces. The pinnacle of human artistic expression.
Depends on your perspective. There are many musicians who believe Beethoven revolutionized Western classical music, who carved out a space for respect for artists almost single-handedly, and is in many sense, the ultimate "indie" artist. His late quartets are something which musicians of modern times still struggle to grasp and understand. His Eroica and other symphonies still caters to the enjoyment, interest, inspiration and personal growth, and fascination of many. His piano sonatas still reveal and convey many spiritual messages to those who are open-minded and have understood the art of listening by giving themselves to the music as they give themselves to another human being. There is a great deal that today's musicians can learn from Beethoven (as well as from other composers), both from his music and his philosophy. In fact, there is a great deal younger generations today can learn from artists and philosophers of the past. To discredit these great thinkers and artists is to forgo the chance to learn, grow, and evolve as a human being. Musicians have always learnt from the past and grown and evolved as a process, taking their music to ever newer dimensions. Musicians and appreciators of music can also rediscover hidden elements in the compositions of past composers and that can offer much to our common humanity today. I would say, Beethoven still lives amongst us, if we only dare to open our eyes and "hear" his music by opening our heart to him.
3:29 - Such a fantastic way to bring a sense of finality to the movement. Reminds me of the restatement of the aria at the end of the Goldbergs by Bach.
The last movement of this sonata is one of the greatest theme and variations ever written. Certainly within Beethoven's piano writing, it has no equal, with the only competitors being the variations from his last sonata, and the Diabelli Variations. The massive contrast between the fugal variation, with its complex polyphony, and the one that follows, where Beethoven reduces the theme to its simplest elements, played over an increasingly rapid trill-it's really a variation within a variation-is one of the greatest moments in classical music.
I have just heard this when I switched on the radio part way through a concert from the Wigmore Hall. The last movement is familiar to me but I felt I was listening to a great set of variations rather than a sonata. Fantastic music performed by a great pianist.
Daniel Barenboim восхищает, покоряет всем: его пианизм, качество звучания, фразировки, виртуозность отвечают моим представлениям о совершенстве; интерпретация Sonata 30 Beethoven такова, что она из разряда " уважаемых" произведений, но сложных для восприятия, благодаря ясности мышления пианиста, стала для меня любимой сонатой композитора. Такой уровень исполнения Генрих Нейгауз считал высшим, конкретизируя его словами "гениально и просто". Не каждому дано достичь этой высоты. Светлана Давыдова
+Bona Kim! Спасибо за поставленный балл моему краткому высказыванию об исполнении Sonata 30 Beethoven гениальным музыкантом Daniel Barenboim! Интерпретация им музыки Beethoven не только убеждает и восхищает, но и требует повышенного внимания музыковедов, исполнителей, слушателей! Благодарю за доброжелательный отклик и высокую оценку исполнительского искусства Daniel Barenboim!!!
Esta Sonata, de la última parte de la vida de Beethoven, refleja una melancolía y una pasión muy fuertes, en el final se puede sentir a un Beethoven sólo, triste y melancólico en medio de una noche cerrada y, una vez más, Mtro. Barenboim, me has hecho caer una lágrima. Bravo!
I cannot but be forever grateful to Melody, who enlightened me bringing this piece to my existence. And of course to B&B for both this eternal composition and such a fine interpretation.
¡Qué belleza! Barenboim aquí demuestra que ha logrado un nivel superlativo en su interpretación de Beethoven, imposible no volver a oirla una y otra vez. Muchas gracias por subirla.
Ich danke dem lieben Ludwig van Beethoven für die schönen Stunden, die er uns mit seiner Musik immer wieder bereitet. Seine 32 Klaviersonaten zählen mit zum wertvollsten Repertoire der ganzen Musikgeschichte.
A very sensible, considered performance. To get through it without doing anything stupid may seem like damning with faint praise, but given the rarity of that in performances of this work, it's much to Barenboim's credit that he achieves it. Great job.
Not sure Nick will get this reply, as his comment was 2 years ago... but, yes, I also slip into a warm and carressing cloud of magic at 18:28 (and thereafter). May I also suggest the second half of the second (and last) movement of Sonata #32... a more elaborated version of what we hear starting at 18:28. You may want to hear the entire movement. :--)
Thanks for the great performance,and I will study with this. Vivace ma non troppo 0:16 Prestissimo 4:31 Andante molto cantabile ed espressivo 7:19 Var.1 9:32 Var.2 11:53 Var.3 13:24 Var.4 13:51 Var.5 17:03 Var.6 17:52 Cantabile: 19:55
I think Barenboim's Berlin concertos and EMI Recordings are equally great (perhaps with somewhat more 'philosophizing' in the Berlin performances, coming as they did more than four decades later). I still keep the black box of EMI LPs of his Recordings of Beethoven's 32 piano sonatas, released in 1970 on the occasion of Beethoven's Bicentennial (200th anniversary of his birth). I bought it for 10 pounds when I was an undergraduate student in Manchester, England!
I listen to a fair bit of piano music and play piano at 13.29 this sounds like a part of marc andre hamelin composition of theme of paganini rhapsody he even did a nod at the end to his 5th symphony
has anybody ever heard a transcription of 'Gesangvoll, mit innigster Empfindung' for stringed or wind instruments? I love how Barenboim plays it and the first 2 Variations.
MAESTRO BARENBOIM ALREADY STARTING TO RETIRE FROM PERFORMANCE I CAN ONLY WISH YOU MUCH REDUCED PAIN AND FOR US PROLONGED SOLO PERFORMANCE FOR OUR SOLACE AND SECURITY
Beethoven was always imrprovising, as his Father Punched him (in the middle of the night) to Do. Ludwig was a healthy-enough boy whos mind couldnt accept this comtemporany poverty in creativity. Ludwig was an OUTstanding Thinker AND Musician of his timeS. A Beatifull mind. A Lover... A Real Revolutionary....

mas que evidente que dices eso por ser chilero, pero te disculpo por que Arrau es muy bueno, y aparte porque es mas aleman judio que chileno, prohibido vestirse con laureles ajenos, se crio y estudio en Alemania, en casa de hebreos el hecho de que su madre lo pariera en el extremo austral fue un achidente
@@voiceboxes8073 no dije eso , dije que nacio de un vientre que se encontraba en chile, pero se educo en otro lugar, que se llama alemania y sus maestros fueron de ascendencia hebrea. Que evidentemente supieron desarrollar la predisposicion natural del pianista hasta los limites que afortunadamente alcanzo. No quisiera pensar que un genio de la interpretacion hubiera sido educado en la barbara chile, que desperdicio hubiera sido. Gracias a Dios.
typical is that when Barenboim gave that famous Masterclass he ordered Jonathan Bliss to play the peace (mov 3) completely different than he plays it here himself. Barenboim playes it very slowly and I think without much involvement & drama what this piece really keeps deep inside. I guess he performed too much Beethoven sonatas akk together in this recording(s) for public. where is the better performance...?!
He came to Tokyo and played Sonate No30-32. I listened his live performance at the front yesterday. He was like interacting with Beethoven. I just forgot about myself and was surrounded by the sound of falling, and I felt bliss. Happiest moment. Heartfelt thanks to the maestro.
My favourite Beethoven sonata.
It is hard to pick a single favorite from such a great collection of works.
John E Yes, i can not
My favorite too! Have been working on it for a few months now...but that last variation is tough!!!
I listen to every one of him , it becomes my favourite till i hear the next
Whenever the world empties me, there is nothing better than late Beethoven to replenish my soul. Sublime beauty. Barenboim is such a master!

The ending is so poignant that the best audience response might be to stand in silence.
@@MorrisDugan That'd indeed be the best possible response if you ask me. It just feels unsuitable if there's any (loud) sound after the ending of this piece.
Indeed, before the applause breaks out there must be a moment of silence, be it awe or sadness
Barenboim is an absolute master of Beethoven. I'm hearing voicings and beauty that I have not heard before in this sonata. Brilliant.

@@dered5548 Rubinstein was better.
Whenever I listen to this Sonata I figure out how "out of this world" Beethoven was. Outstanding music.
Especially when Beethoven continuously gave us little treats like that transition around 0:28 .
how 'out of this world' was he?
I would suggest "above this world". Am I right?
No, no, en realidad muy de este mundo. Más que nadie, por eso lo sabe expresar tan bien.

I'm always fond of variations on a theme. Haydn did some excellent work with that. And yes, this piece really grabs the idea and shakes it out well.

Renata Wisniewska Sonata #32 is perhaps the most profound, for me, but this one is also incredible, lyrical, moving.
