Other Friedrich Gulda videos: • Friedrich Gulda plays ...
Friedrich Gulda (16 May 1930 - 27 January 2000) was an Austrian pianist and composer who worked in both the classical and jazz fields.
Born in Vienna as the son of a teacher, Gulda began learning to play the piano from Felix Pazofsky at the Wiener Volkskonservatorium, aged 7. In 1942, he entered the Vienna Music Academy, where he studied piano and musical theory under Bruno Seidlhofer and Joseph Marx.
He won first prize at the Geneva International Music Competition in 1946. Initially, the jury preferred the Belgian pianist Lode Backx, but when the final vote was taken, Gulda was the winner. One of the jurors, Eileen Joyce, who favoured Backx, stormed out and claimed the other jurors were unfairly influenced by Gulda's supporters. Gulda began to play concerts worldwide. He made his Carnegie Hall debut in 1950. Together with Jörg Demus and Paul Badura-Skoda, Gulda formed what became known as the "Viennese troika".
Although most famous for his Mozart and Beethoven interpretations, Gulda also performed the music of J. S. Bach (often on clavichord), Schubert, Chopin, Schumann, Debussy and Ravel. His recordings of Bach's Well Tempered Clavier are well regarded by collectors. Apart from the Well Tempered Clavier, Gulda performed very few other pieces by Bach and recorded even fewer. Gulda's later reliance on co-operating with companies whose recording techniques were primitive in comparison to those espoused by more sophisticated rivals stood him in very poor stead with regard to posterity. The rescued Mozart sonata tapes issued on DG are unbelievably bad in terms of recorded technical quality; likewise the Debussy Preludes and Bach recordings of the late 60s and early 70s.
From the 1950s on Gulda cultivated an interest in jazz, writing several songs and instrumental pieces, and at times combining jazz and classical music in his concerts. In 1956, he performed at Birdland in New York City and at the Newport Jazz Festival. He organized the International Competition for Modern Jazz in 1966, and he established the International Musikforum, a school for students who wanted to learn improvisation, in Ossiach, Austria, in 1968. He once said: "There can be no guarantee that I will become a great jazz musician, but at least I shall know that I am doing the right thing. I don't want to fall into the routine of the modern concert pianist's life, nor do I want to ride the cheap triumphs of the Baroque bandwagon."
In jazz, he found "the rhythmic drive, the risk, the absolute contrast to the pale, academic approach I had been taught." He also took up playing the baritone saxophone.
Phillips Records included Gulda in its Great Pianists of the 20th Century CD box set, which came out in 1999. His piano students included Martha Argerich, who called Gulda "my most important influence," and the conductor Claudio Abbado.
He expressed a wish to die on the birthday of Mozart, the composer he most adored, and did so. He died of heart failure at the age of 69 on 27 January 2000 at his home in Weissenbach, Austria. Gulda is buried in the cemetery of Steinbach am Attersee, Austria. He was married twice, first to Paola Loew and then to Yuko Wakiyama. Two of his three sons, Paul and Rico Gulda, one from each of his marriages, are accomplished pianists.

What a tremendous pleasure watching Mr Gulda play and conduct!
Unbelievable! So much passion, precision, and charm. Check out his face around 34:16, look at his eyes, and the unforgettable twinkle around 34:28. What a generous soul...
Sheer joy. A master having a good time: exuberant, passionate, funny, poignant, self ironic, and I think Beethoven would have loved this man and this concert.
Maestro Gulda translated music to the audience. No matter what they might have call him. A musician who only can perform Bach, Beethoven or Mozart. But furthermore he played jazz on a pretty high level and also he was a great composer. Always in love with the music , open minded and looking forward! What a great artist!
Dieser Pisnist ist gelebte Musik, mit jeder Note, die er spielt. Ich bewundere Friedrich Gulda, denn er versetzt meine Seele in einen Ausnahmezustand! Beethoven würde sagen, endlich jemand, der meine Komposition umsetzen kann...
“To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable.” - Beethoven
There is no wrong note, just a creative interpretation!
You sure Beethoven said that?
Wasn't that Rubinstein?
Defenetly a quote from Beethoven.
I guarantee you when Gulda is playing, what people think are accidental wrong notes are very much intentional and a result of his unique artistry.
This has to be the most Joyous performance of this masterpiece ever played. Gulda brings such excitement and pleasure to music. He will be missed.
Gulda alone makes everything more special and attractive. 🎼🎹🤩
Freude beim Musizieren zuzusehen. Gulda bewundere ich seit 1968, als ich einige seiner LPs in Hände bekam. Später ist er eher noch temperamentvoller. Diese Aufnahme ist eine große Leistung, faszinierend. Ich vermisse ihn.
Never tired hearing this concert, Great performance from Mr, Gulda
I don't know how many times I have enjoyed the video. But, every time I watch the performance, I can't help feeling moved by Gulda's excellent playing. Also, It is natural for me to miss him. R.I.P Frederich Gulda.
この映像は、賞賛に値する。
I just discovered Gulda. What a treasure.
Danke, dass Ihr das hier online stellt. Das ist unsterblich. Balsam für die Seele. Unfassbar schön. Niemals wurde Beethoven gespielt, sooo viel Leidenschaft. Für mich die Ewigkeit.
Honestly probably the best interpretation of this beautiful concerto that I have seen.
Doesn't matter that he plays a few notes wrong. The piece is meant to be JOYFUL. Its meant to have EXUBERANCE!
So many interpretations I have listened to miss this in my opinion. Friedrich absolustely nails this interpretation.
I mean, listen to this extract at 12:48. Even at Beethoven's most struggling moments in his life, he was able to write with such joy and Friedrich captures this perfectly!
Актёр, пианист и дерижер и это в одном человеке.Исполнение завораживает.Браво!
One of the liveliest, most enjoyable I’ve heard.
High level of playful virtuosity which Beethoven would definitely have approved, being a virtuoso himself.
GULDA WAS ONE OF MY IDOLS DURING ALL MY LIFETIME, AND HE STILL IS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING MUSICIAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Un deuxième mouvement à pleurer ! J'ai touché les étoiles... Mille mercis...
Simply, Marvellous. And he smiles when he makes mistakes...the music is whole...the Bösendorfer captures and expresses it totally. A Truly Wonderful Experience.
What a fabulous performance from the great maestro. We do miss him dearly!
Ich hab noch nie einen so fantastischen Musiker gesehen. Keiner der Dirigenten unserer Zeiten kann Gulda das Wasser reichen. Nur Schade dass ich Ihnen erst jetzt entdeckt habe. Ich hätte ihn gerne einmal persönlich kennengelernt oder zumindest bei einem Konzert live erlebt. Gulda's Musik lebt, sie berührt, sie hat eine Seele und weckt Emotionen.
Kennst du schon diese Doku über ihn? ua-cam.com/video/67vUWVwKRYs/v-deo.html
Ja hab ich auch schon öfters angeschaut. Gulda ist einfach einzigartig.
Nikolaus Harnoncourt. Unter dem hat er auch öfters gespielt.
Jawohl! Er weckt Emotionen. DAS ist es!
does it get better...man looks like he is enjoying every moment..compare to others...this is what Beethoven is about ...feelng the music...not just playing notes on a page...feeling it
Friedrich Gulda - a real God here in Austria
The Best Beethoven piano concerto 5 players Are really=Vladimir Ashkenazy ( The most colorful volcanic piano sound Ever) Wilhelm Kempff ( The most beautiful piano sound Ever) Grigory Sokolov ( The rhythmic vital beat(unbeatable vitalness) Maurizio Pollini ( The Genius!)
Hervorragende Aufführung! Dieses Meisterwerk von Beethoven ist hier ja voller Glut und Leidenschaft. Danke dem Inhaber des Kanals fürs Hochladen!
You've just got to love him ... for all time. For his total understanding of the energy and esprit of the music.
Gordon Stainforth hahahahaha yes ... and also Beethoven as a living character!!! I love the forward momentum that shows how troubled he is and doesn’t understand what’s happening, because of his feeling of isolation from the world. But Beethoven’s humour tells me how he’s looking back on his past and his fantasy of freedom for life, it’s so astonishing how it translates into his music!!!
Hi, Gordon! Long time no see! Hope you are well and busy in these difficult times. We wrote each other years ago on the Kubrick Multimedia regarding all the many great works used in his films over the years. I recall stating that it would be nice to hear Shostakovich in his music sometime. Funny thing, the Waltz #2 turned up in his very last masterpiece. Thank you, Gordon! Since 2001, I've been slowly working on the 9/11 Requiem (one movement was performed in Bremerton in 2002) as well as teaching music and completing a western rock opera. Be well.
Ci sono varie grandissime interpretazioni dei concerti per piano di Beethoven. Quelle di Gulda spiccano per brillantezza e verve! Davvero un immenso pianista!
No matter how many times I watch this performance, I still feel overwhelmed by its vitality. Thank you, LOFTmusic, for sharing. Much appreciated.
You are welcome and thank you for telling us.
I could agree more .... thank you Loft music ... as I had had difficulty finding this magic piece again.
Me too!
Niečo neuveriteľné, toto je nádhera, skvost ❤
I love that element of improvisation, no one plays like Gulda nowadays......
Because he is the unique master pianist can break the bounds of classical and Jazz music.
yes, he even managed to introduce dirty notes into classical music - bravo :P
one of my favourite pieces of music of all time and a performance by a true genius from my native country, the great friedrich gulda
Goulda, with great respect for Beethoven, makes it fun, happy, dynamic, even ... participatory, in fact, at the end of the concert you can hear laughter of approval, I would say of rejoicing, This concert ... is like drinking water , does not satisfy ... Thanks LOFT MUSIC
This Concert saved my life many times
Je l'ai écouté de nombreuses fois dirigé par Furtwangler et transporté dans un autre monde et ça m'a sorti de ma dépression ! j'ai beaucoup d'admiration pour Gulda personnage unique..❤
Yo también le debo la vida a Beethoven por su genialidad puesta en esta obra.
Es un lujo. Está a otro nivel. Con que naturalidad y virtuosismo hace de la orquesta, el piano y la obra un todo emocionante, delicado y magnífico. Hay gente que nunca debería de morir.
Gulda ROCKS this breathtaking fabulous great wonderful!!!
Starting at 31:13 it feels like my soul, drifting like a sailboat at the waves during the storm called life - just when I think it is over, it all starts again in a way I never expected - thank you Ludwig van Beethoven and Friedrich Gulda for this fantastic way of just play it and the rest is just a peace of...
I agree, that part at 31:13 is one of the most beautiful musical passages I've ever heard, and Gulda plays it better than anyone else by far.
thanks for your answer on this autumn-like saturday in 2017.
Please visit the channel "Nocturneine" and please find there the according to me most impressive recording ever of this masterpeace from Ludwig van Beethoven. Conductor: Ferdinand Leitner, Piano: Wilhelm Kempff and Berliner Philarmonic in 1961.
This recording is made just a few days after the beginning of building The Wall in Berlin. You hear the fear for the future and the totaly sadness of all. The music gives once again hope for better days.
Enjoy, and if you like: give me a note how you liked it.
.
Espressione di vera felicità, come l'ultimo movimento della sonata "les adieux".
Ein fantastischer Musiker, in seinen Bewegungen, in seiner Mimik, wie er mit der Musik lebt und sie dann dem Publikum überträgt.
What a treat to see and hear. Thanx for sharing:)
Excellent
mon père jouait du basson et sa femme du voilon j 'ai passé ma vie à tous les concerts je connais toutes les symphonies de Bethoven les concertos de piano de violon de basson j'ai 86 ans je joue du piano depuis l'âge de 10 ans c'est ma vie En Alsace ils sont mélomanes à Strasbourg au mois de juin il y avait le Festival de musique classique qu'elle Merveille j'en garde un souvenir grandiose
O melhor! Vigor, beleza, técnica pianística impecável...grande músico...tudo de bom! Que presente poder ouví-lo até hj
What a lovely man - and what a lovely wink at 11.55! Why not conduct with smiles and joy?
I believe that this is the best performance on UA-cam of this masterpiece, with Glenn Gould one with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra! Gulda is perfect!
ua-cam.com/video/uj8w0Sm7l-M/v-deo.html
グルダは天才としか言いようがない。弾きながら「ピアノなんてなんでもないよ！」と言ってるみたいだ。
Shortly I saw and heard this performance for the first time. Amazing naturally played by Gulda this performance is the best I ever have heard and seen. He seems one soul with the composer. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I recommend you watch Krystian Zimerman,do the same concert! I like Gulda for Mozart,but......
ich muss immer weinen,wenn ich das höre und sehe vor Hochachtung.....Ach,Friedrich Goulda,du warst ein Besonderer❤
An amazing conductor and an amazing soloist. Astounding to do both at the same time so well!
I love this man!
The 5th is one of my favorites. You can argue that this performance lacks perfection of technique but Mr. Gulda's has an enormous quantity of charisma. His seeming pleasure translates into a feeling that I would hope that even Beethoven aspired to.
Simplemente MARAVILLOSO el Maestro GULDA.
lleno de vida!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! es increible Gulda!!!!!!
What impresses me most about him is that he took on the role of conductor AND featured soloist not just in this performance, but in many others as he got into his later years. AND, he did both as well or better than most could do either one at a time.
... if only someone had taught him how to do it ... Sorry to say that, but his "performance" as a conductor is simply a farce. It's not only because of his unconventionel movings, but even more it is not precisely and an orchestral musician has no chance to follow this style of conducting.
This is called taking musicians for cretins. I do not congratulate you, sir!
MrJwaB .
@@Capuzzi09 Aah, but that's the delightful part!!! So refreshing. And all together I enjoyed the naturalness of his performance...no put-on 'airs' to make beeeuuutiful music! And his smiles of pure pleasure while performing!!! I've never seen that! Totally unique. I love it.
I love how he’s just so involved and lost in the music-spectacular!!!❤️❤️❤️
Brilliant performance played with Gusto and with an orchestra second to none. The Tympani is exceptional and at times pulses this piece along the way Beethoven would want I'm sure. A couple of hiccups, but overall , just a beautifully done concerto. Gulda is a confident and enthusiastic artist. I also enjoy his playing of Mozart concerto's as well
Every time I listen to the performance, I cnanot help remembering two men: Mozart & Gulda.Today, the day for me to pay a tribute to them. Rest in peace, great musicians. Also, I appreciate your good will: uploading the video clip, a live performance, which always help me energised whenever I am under the weather. Thank you.
He is really good taste pianist! impressive！and his performance moved my heart!
une interprétation magnifique de la part de Friedrich Gulda
He was one of the greatest gifted ..... saw him several times .....never will forget .....
Quanto vigor! Quanta beleza. Vale a pena assistir .
Os gênios não podem se esconder na sombra da mediocridade.
Masterpiece!
I like how the last movement „grooves“ like an actual Rondo/dance. It doesn’t sound as stiff as I’ve often heard it from other performers. Maybe that’s because of Gulda‘s experience with jazz.
I listen once,twise and go on listening,I think I will be listening for ever. Fantastic Friedrich, one day in the future I will be hearing your music in the universe where the space and time don`t exist.
Verehrter Friedrich Gulda, ich kann Dir gar nicht sagen, wie sehr Du mir fehlst…
Esse é o cara!!! Espetacular!!! Bravo!!!!!
Beethoven, Gulda e Concerto no. 5: para piano: minhas paixões!!
Grazie ❤
Meraviglioso.
Musica: Essenza di Vita.
Гений! Фридрих Гульда- это Музыка!
Not rushed...love it ☺
I just love the Adagio...I'm so glad that we're playing this in orchestra at the moment
Il suo talento sovrasta tutte le sue stramberie..questa è una performance da brividi..
F. Gulda = The Music
Icredeble Maestro..love you, miss you.
There are some things that just good music knows
Gulda is a master musician and he conveys the vitality so essential to Beethoven. I've met this great man and he's just as remarkable as a person as he is as a musician. I can see the rhythmic approach that Argerich learned from him.
Absolutamente fantástico!!!!! Bravíssimo!!!!
Look at his face to see his profound involvement w/the entire work, perhaps most especially from 25.30 onward. Performed & recorded at the height of his powers & resources, this is a wonderful opportunity to witness what rarely comes into any of our lives: a master at his highest & best. Bravo on his cadenzi as well. This has now surpassed my previous favourite, Daniel Barenboim w/Otto Klemperer, albeit not a sparkling performance, but to honour Klemperer.
Joseph E Fasciani
This is perfect, very beautiful!
What a dearly missed character... You can't believe as soon as he had finished a lot of Classical performances he was probably then found playing in a jazz club! Genius!
26:58 ... I think this performance is wonderful... just wonderful! Is it not fascinating, sincerity is a rare and precious commodity. Interestingly, a lesser musical talent may adopt a conservative exterior and demeanour to camouflage an inadequacy in musicality and charisma. Yet, Mr. Gulda exudes such great talent... a perplexing condition to the envious... but such a sweet spectacle to the appreciative like myself. MUSIC the universal language! Bravo!
Love this concerto, and get such a tremendous kick out of Gulda, even if it's not technically perfect (although I do find it slightly culpable that the second movement is taken so quickly and metronomically!).... Honestly, still one of my favourites.
*Note the clarinet player trying not to laugh at 2:03!!
What a character!
Thanks,
This is probably closest to how Beethoven would have played it...
Gulda played in such a way as if he were the COMPOSER himself.
Nice statement, fits.
Cuando ví éste video en televisión nunca imaginé lo difícil que es dirigir y ser intérprete de un concierto tan conocido, al igual que posteriormente muchos otros pianistas lo hayan imitado
I love his attitude, wardrobe and how it just "goes" Amazing!
F.Gulda is one of the best conductor and soloist I have heard.
Bravo Friedrich. Well done and I like your hat!!!
Il fatto che non segua la netiquette convenzionale non esclude che sia stato uno straordinario pianista.E io sono una fan sfegatata del grande ABM.
BRAVO GULDA!
Ich habe diese Aufnahme schon hunderte Male gehört, aber jedesmal berührt die Musik von Gulda. Aus meiner Sicht gibt es heute unter den lebenden Pianisten nur eine die dieses Klavierkonzert mit Dynamik und Gefühl rüberbringt : Helène Grimmaud. Auch bei dieser großartigen Pianistin habe ich den Eindruck wie bei Gulda : "es spielt" wie er selbst einmal in einem Interview sagte.
Versuche Sie mal die Wiener mit Bernstein und Zimerman von 1989:
ua-cam.com/video/uj8w0Sm7l-M/v-deo.html
I've seen a thousand times ..is very good ... it's time to remaster
It ıs wonderful thank you
How many times you see this is up to you
I wonder how can the number of views that little ?!
@@hossameddinriyad it is absolutely a gem
James Easton it really is. The ease and clarity he is playing with are unbelievable.
Was will man meckern? DAS ist Gulda, da verbietet sich jegliche Kritik, das ist Freude und Durchatmen, Genießen und Erleben. Heut wär er 92 geworden....
Er is altijd die hartslag in de muziek van Beethoven . Net of hij wil zeggen ; " kijk hier ben ik , ik behoor de aarde toe terwijl ik met ze vecht " . Het gevecht bleef zonder winnaar .
Van Doesselaere Willem
What a lovely performances!!!!!!
Really enjoyed this and will watch this again many times in future. Great performance!
absolutely great!!! R.I.P.!
Magnifique, aussi pour les yeux, grand merci !
彼の生涯を読んで、演奏の自由なスタイルがなんとなく理解できた。
二人目の奥様が日本人であったことも、驚きです。
優秀な日本女性が、世界の有能な人物の伴侶となっているのも理解できそうでもある。
Truly a grand performance: Gulda's interpretation is straightforward, but plenty of attention to the trills and transitions inside the 1st movement.
And what a movement it is! Its length is more than half that of the entire concerto, but that authoritarian mode befits it, in that I see Herr Beethoven's propose here. He's declared the pianoforte concerto era has yielded to the symphonic projection of musical ideas at the heart of the composer's intents.
As the piano is the most comprehensive of all musical instruments, so it now becomes the voice of the total effort orchestras are to achieve.
It may be my new hearing aids, but the piano sounds as if it's not a Steinway, but perhaps a Fazioli? It may be it's tuning. Just me. I dearly love Gulda, his many insights and superb interpretation. He's always 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What a great performance...👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
Awesome!!! Perfection !!!
Magnífica performance! Gracias. Brillante interpretación.
Love the gold rolex
