Alicia de Larrocha - Tango!

[@vincentmancini6279]

No theatrics, no hands waving in the air, no eyes rolling just sublime moments of beautiful music played by Alicia de Larrocha!!!

And appropriately dressed.

@@mmjhcb I couldn't agree more with both of you.

The second i hear her tears start to flow...she's a legend

[@lisilisin]

Esto es un ejemplo de ARTE en estado puro!!!! Para reconocer a un gran MÚSICO, no es necesario escucharle interpretar obras virtuosísticas (muchas notas a gran velocidad), sino todo lo contrario. En pequeñas obras como esta es donde realmente se demuestra quien es quien. Alicia de Larrocha derrocha musicalidad y maestría. Sin duda alguna, una/o de las/os pianistas más GRANDES. BRAVO!!!!!!!!

[@flaviaytllas6445]

lisilisin Eso, lo debería leer el payaso ese, que, MATERIALMENTE, EJECUTA a todo compositor que se le ponga por delante. Ya no digo más. 😈 .

[@JamesVaughan]

She is irreplaceable. What a gem she makes this familiar little piece! Matchless artistry--thank heaven for all these precious recordings!

[@lisilisin]

This is an example of ART at its best!! To recognize a great musician, you do not need to hear a virtuoso performance work (many notes at high speed), but quite the opposite. In small musical pieces like this is where one can realice who is who. Alicia de Larrocha exudes musicality and artistry. Without a doubt, one of the greatest pianists. One of the greates Musicians. BRAVO !!!!!!!!

[@edamundson743]

She was totally awesome, I heard her on Concert Tour in the US in the early 1980's what a gift !

[@Rajnoma]

Alicia was a superb pianist, a gift to the world, who played colorful, enchanting music. This piece is so lyrical and delicate. I find this music very pleasant and relaxing. It's a true pleasure to listen to. Sadly, the Spanish composers, de Fall, Granados, Albeniz and Turina are little known in the U.S.; I feel sorry for people who have never heard of them. They are missing so much beauty!

[@dmcII]

Magnificent pianist and an even more charming woman. RIP Alicia & God bless....

[@esperanzasalgueiroanabitarte]

Sublime como todo lo que toca Alicia de Larrocha. ¡Cómo "dice" la música Alicia! Sus interpretaciones entran en otra galaxia a la que no acceden los demás mortales... Ella toca y dice...

No hay obra menor cuando la artista es excelsa. este es un ejemplo!

Thank you Alicia , may your soul rest in peace and in heaven, the place your music came from.

[@milabraverman7558]

Спасибо Алисия! Прекрасно! Браво! Хочется слушать еще и еще. Много исполнений послушала. You are the best!

[@solanjoe]

Horowitz said that Alicia is an outstanding pianist and the best interpreter of Spanish music. I can see here why.

[@lopesesilva4744]

Muito bem tocado, pela pianista Alicia de Larrocha, internacionalmente considerada uma das maiores interpretes da musica espanhola ( Laureada). Parabéns.

[@erwinschonfeld8975]

LOVE ALICIA DE LARROCHA. I AM GLAD I GOT TO SEE HER PERFORM A WHILE BACK AT THE SAN FRANCISCO SYMPHONY. IT WAS A GREAT TREAT. AND I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER HER GREAT PERFORMANCE. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT I HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE HER PERFORM!

[@varadero1839]

I posted this Mr. Schonfeld, and I'm grateful to hear from you! Over the years I've bounced back and forth between San Francisco and New York, but I never saw a live performance by this genius. I think you're beyond lucky to have seen her! Grateful to hear from you! Best wishes, varadero

+Erwin Schonfeld A while back? 13 years or so! She stopped all public performances in 2003.

Played with much sensitivity and with ample rubato. Sets the mood of a tango most beautifully..

Muchas gracias a mi querida amiga! Ella era un genio que nos tocó a todos con sus bellas interpretaciones! Muchas gracias por escribir! Por favor, perdona mi terrible español! Ha sido un largo tiempo ... varadero

[@EmbraceWithin]

Su tecnica es impecable e inmejorable, aun con manos tan pequeñas, ya que ella era bajita, pero eso no le impidio nada, una de las mejores pianistas!

[@varadero1839]

And the finest interpreter of this beautiful piece! Thanks so much for your comment; I'm grateful to hear from you!

[@varadero1839]

@lisilisin Mil gracias! Estoy encantado de saber de Usted, y estoy de acuerdo con su observación de que a veces las piezas menos conocidas, las pequeñas se puede decir el verdadero valor de un artista. ¡Muchas gracias!

[@varadero1839]

@EmbraceWithin A pesar de que no estaba muy muy alta y tenía las manos pequeñas también, su técnica y su talento eran increíbles! Ella era una excelente, que en paz descanse. Muchas gracias por su mención!

Ich glaube nicht, dass sie die Leistung nicht mehr. Wie unglücklich für uns. Sie ist ein sehr talentierter Dame!

Shes playing a spanish tango or (flamenco tango)., not a argentinian tango. The spanish exist before the argentinian tango!

Not true. The tango originated in Cuba. Look it up.🙃

Hello Mr. Harrison, If I've already responded to your comment, please excuse me. I posted this some time ago. I agree that some folks prefer hating, and it used to bother me. As the years pass I just kind of think of them as tiresome mosquitoes. Sadly, like cockroaches, they'll always be with us. Sorry for the late reply. varadero

I don’t get it the speed indicated is “andantino” shouldn’t it be faster than this ?

Je ne suis pas d accord on peut entendre un grand musicien dans les 2 virtuosité ou morceau moins virtuose qui jouerai alors la campanella de listz l appassionatta de Beethoven etc dans les 2 on peut donner de l émotion.elle est merveilleuse de musicalité dans ce tango sophie'

[@fifealganaraz7466]

que curioso que le haya puesto " Tango" ...(En esa época el tango estaba muy mal visto, casi como música de gente de mala vida).Soy argentino y no entiendo o no se el motivo por el cual Albeniz le haya puesto ese nombre. si alguno sabe la historia del título, le agradezco saberlo. Gracias.

[@EthanGansMorse]

Saludos Nicole. No me considero experto, pero le daré la mejor explicación que pueda, y la voy a dar en inglés, pues espero que le sirva. Albéniz was a Spaniard and one of Spain's leading proponents of a Spanish "National" school of music in the 1800's. To this end, he collected folk dances of his era and wrote them into his salon-style piano music. In order to promote a new musical literature that celebrated Spanish identity and culture, he named his piano works after Spanish cities--Granada, Cadiz, Mallorca, Asturias--and regional folk songs and dances--Sevillanas, Seguidillas, Malagueña, Curranda, etc. His "Tango" was composed in 1890 and was probably in the "Ida y Vuelta" category of proto-flamenco, meaning Spanish music based on Latin American dances, in this case, the Habanera. "Tango" is still one of the main palos flamencos, but unlike this piece, the Flamenco style never really uses the Habanera rhythm, so it does seem that Albeniz was trying to evoke a "Cuban Habenera" version of a Tango more than a Spanish Flamenco version. He also wrote pieces entitled "Cuba," and we have to keep in mind that Cuba was still PART of Spain in 1890, so maybe he simply considered Cuban music to be another branch of Spanish music. That kind of colonialism is disturbing today, but it was very common in the 1800's. The stigma against Argentine Tango that you're describing probably came from its close association with African slaves and its popularity in brothels, and you're right, it would have been a "low class" kind of music in Argentina in the late 1800's. But you have to remember that Albeniz lived in Paris in the 1890's, not in Buenos Aires, so he was writing European music for a European audience and seeking to celebrate Spanish culture. Hope that helps!

[@lourdesm3818]

...el TANGO, antes de interpretara en Argentina,YA EXISTÍA EN CÁDIZ...son cantes que le decimos " DE IDA Y VUELTA"... las guajiras, las habaneras, las colombianas, etc., salieron de CÁDIZ y en Sudamérica, evolucionaban, adquiriendo la impronta de cada lugar...

[@patobrien1171]

Pity it is a noisy , hissy recording

[@thespian14251]

Your comment makes no logical sense. "Musician" describes all who are involved in music; composers, conductors, singers or violinists. It is the "greater" expression and the others are sub-categories. Composers, pianists and other instrumentalists are by definition "musicians". What qualifications do you possess to PRESUME to compare a very short lived pianist who left very few examples of his art, to a veteran musician with an extensive career and discography? You need to take a reality check.
