wow, this is such a gift! full of humour, understanding and valuable hints. i learned so much and am so glad to have found these masterclasses in the internet. some of levins masterclasses i watched even 10 times. i understand now even deeper the sadness, despair, hope and joy that are hidden in our classical pieces. a big thank to mr. levin, his clearness and playfulness, to the students and their high efforts and for making the videos available. greetings from vienna/austria.
Its a shame about the recording quality; most of his masterclasses does not allow comments. Compare Levin to the like of any other concert pianist who 'class' their students. Levin makes jokes and ironically engages with the audience off the piano. He talks to them, he educates them whilst keeping within the realm of the music performed. Most importantly he does not patronise the student or make them feel at all unworthy. He builds a rapport so quickly with both audience and artist; a shame most masterclasses that I have seen is almost viewing pleasure. I cite Schiff as a perfect example of one who does not connect with the student or audience on a conversational level and his methods of tutoring does not allow individuality on the students behalf but rather the way Schiff thinks it should be executed.
I know Domonkos and Nafis had been student of Birmingham Conservatoire in Birmingham, UK. And John Thwaites (who posts this video) the head of Piano Department there. But I’m not sure is this taking place in the Conservatoire, as the hall does not looks like it.
This is the Adrian Boult Hall at the old Birmingham Conservative, before the conservatoire was relocated to different venue. This hall, along with the old conservatoire building have since been demolished.
@Marius Walther Really? He's that terrible? Could it be that you're an envious loser anti-Semite? Why don't you upload a master class? Show us all how great you are.

Levin has the same genius and charm as he is as an explicator and teacher .Lucky students and his energy never dissipates .
Always so insightful in his masterclasses.
This is really helpful since I’m working on this Schubert piece and this is the only master class I can find.
Levins instructions are super!
So much Verstand!
The last performer is wonderful!

1:15:45 I love how Robert is miming the fingering on his lap !
1:39:09 Well, actually, that passage is in major, not minor, but we get the idea.

--A foreign student who really wants to understand.

What Schubert piece is this at the end? It’s gorgeous
Answered my own question. D935
@@zfierstadt Your question is our question too. Thanks for sharing the answer.
Does anyone know in which school did this masterclass take place? As always, Mr. Levin is an inspiration.
+Ory Shihor Probably Julliard
+Ory Shihor Never mind, somewhere in the UK.

Fabulous masterclass by Robert Levin as always! What is the excerpt that he plays, demonstrating on the fortepiano at 1:25:00 -ish ?
Schubert d 960 end of second movement, very famous.
@@Farahmand1010 Thank you very much!

55:57 This guy is very rude wiping his glasses during the masterclass and to Robert Levin who is giving him the previous advice.

God forbid his nose itches!
@Marius Walther totally agree
Overpaid? You know his salary? @Marius Walther

Sorry, but it is performed by the first student very rude, there is not enough lightness
This Chinese chick doesn't know what Levin is talking about
What you said is so polite
At least she's not Korean.
@@mcbainst What's wrong with that?
@@galek75 the fact that she's not? Nothing.
@@mcbainst if you want to say that being Korean is bad, then you’re obviously trying to insult me. But it doesn’t change anything.
Utterly despicable.
Shut up
You ok bro?
