Barenboim, Zukerman & du Pré: Beethoven - Piano Trio in D major, Op. 70 No. 1 "Ghost"

[@davidsmith1230]

As I watch this (for the umpteenth time) my eyes are welling up as usual even more so that I recently saw a photograph of Barenboim and Zukerman amongst others carrying Jacqueline's coffin to her graveside. I have never seen such or felt such raw grief and I have lived for 63 years and buried both my parents, To see how they worked almost subconciously together as one here you begin to understand why

[@mariawimmer4541]

I saw it, too. Deeply moving.

Three talented masters in their young years. Interpreting a monumental, historic greater one. After all this years I am still sadden by the fate of Jacqueline du Pré. Great video. Thank You.

The glory of Beethoven who wrote this lovely piece even though he was stone deaf! The ultimate tribute to the genius of Beethoven was brilliantly performed by Barenboim, Zukerman and the genius in the way of Jacqueline du Pre who very sadly is not with us. I miss you and your brilliance Jacqueline!

Jacqueline du Pré had to stop playing the cello at 28, due to her MS. But how lucky we are, still beeing able to watch her playing, for example in this Op 70. I saw a documentary about her and was overwhelmed by her charm, her smile, her beauty, and her music. And her total ignorance of how she might look on the screen. No make up, no false feelings, just the natural joy in music and her facial expressions about this joy. No doubt about why Daniel Barenboim fell so in love with her.

The first movement, although has its nice moments, is a perfect example of Beethoven not having the creativity or the time to give a better ending. He started a new slow variation then it just ends. Kinda a weird ending.

But we will remember her exceptional playing because du Pre of her brilliant participation in this Beethoven triple concerto. It’s unforgettable.

[@tomroberson3172]

Recorded in London's St John's Smith Square on May 12, 1970, when Barenboim was 27 years old, DuPré was 25, and Zukerman was 21.

[@calvinlewis8924]

I was privileged to see Pinchas Zukerman twice at the Ravinia Festival just outside of Chicago in the mid eighties. He never disappoints. Barenboim and Zukerman along with the London Symphony were just incredible on the Elgar violin concerto; the best I’ve ever heard.

[@JulienGaudfroy]

His Elgar indeed is the best I have heard. Alongside young Menuhin's recording. If you haven't heard this one, this is the best live Elgar by Zukerman I have found, just so good : kzbin.info/www/bejne/q33Yf4qBgKmaesk

This performance has every essence of this work.Nothing is left behind.

[@michaelrosa2015]

The development section in the first movement is textbook Beethoven at it's very finest. One can quibble with some of the camera angles but this performance is unique among live performances b/c it captures 3 young artists whose mastery of their instruments and understanding of the work is itself captivating.

[@CLASSICALFAN100]

"Quibble" is a favorite word for lots of folks. For some, it's the only "comfort zone" that they have, with every quibble as a striving for priority. One must really "Add a Dash of Pity" for people like that, as Peter Ustinov did in his book of short stories: www.amazon.com/Add-Dash-Pity-Peter-Ustinov/dp/1573920959

[@SetemkiaFawn]

The unusual camera angles are part of what makes this film so striking and memorable. We receive perspectives of the instruments and performers that, at least for me, heighten my perception and understanding of the music.

[@dibaldgyfm9933]

As far as I know there is a manuscript page of second movement, whereon Beethoven (himself) wrote that this was a sketch or echo of his planned McBeth opera. English Wikipedia does not mention this. German Wikipedia has it: Zweiter Satz: Largo assai ed espressivo Der in d-Moll stehende Mittelsatz beginnt in Cello und Violine, dann tritt mit pulsierenden Akkorden das Klavier hinzu. Die gespenstische Atmosphäre des Satzes, die von Musikwissenschaftler Paul Bekker als »einer der wunderbarsten Offenbarungen beethovenscher Schwermut« bezeichnet wurde, entsteht u. a. durch seine Klaviertremoli und chromatische Skalen. Die Bezeichnung des Trios als \u201eGeistertrio\u201c geht auf Beethovens Schüler Carl Czerny zurück, der, wie er 1842 schrieb, sich durch diesen Satz an den ersten Auftritt des Geistes in William Shakespeares Tragödie Hamlet erinnert fühlte: »Der Charakter dieses, sehr langsam vorzutragenden Largo ist geisterhaft schauerlich, gleich einer Erscheinung aus der Unterwelt«. Laut Musikwissenschaftler Martin Gustav Nottebohm entwarf Beethoven parallel zur Komposition des Trios einen Hexenchor für eine geplante Opernkomposition mit Shakespeares Tragödie Macbeth als Vorlage.
