There was never a pianist so complete as Claudio Arrau! There is not nowadays and perhepas there will never be another like him! He brought to the last consequences the musical, architectural, artistic and emotional realization of a musical work of a genius. He is an unique and unrepeatable pianist and interpreter. And what a superb pianism!

Beethoven, Arrau, Bernstein - the Untouchables, simply among the best and most inspirational the human race ever created!

Interpretively this is one of the most difficult if not THE most difficult concertos ever written. Every bar has an infinite number of subtle nuances that can be explore and mined. Right from the opening, it announces something simple yet extraordinary. Any pianist fortunate enough to play this masterpiece should never ever take it for granted and always be mindful of the unique position this concerto holds in the piano literature and strive to live up to the challenges that Beethoven has set down for the pianist.

At the end of th concert, Leonard Bernstein shows openly his limitless affection and admiration for Claudio Arrau´s talent, experience and stature as human being... From 37.00 to 37.17, without any restriction or shyness, Bernstein shake hands, embrace warmly (twice) and kiss Arrau in both cheeks, telling him friendly and joyous words in both ears and demonstrating openly his happiness of playing together... Claudio Arrau, a very shy man, is overwhelmed and his reaction is a little surprised and almost awkardly... Arrau was 15 years older than Bernstein, and in the 1940's he was already considered Beethoven´s greatest piano interpreter in History when Bernstein was only an young orquestra director, the first great conductor born in the USA... Other famous conductors in the USA were foreign born, as Toscanini (Italian), Stokowki (British of Lithuanin and Polish ancestry), and Ormandy (Hungarian)... Coming back to Bernstein and Arrau, both were deeply Humanist people, involved in human rights campaigns... This concert, for example, is for Amnesty Internacional... Bernstein and Arrau died within months of each other, at the beginning of the 1990's.

How idiotic of me not to have appreciated and listened more to both this concerto and its wonderful interpreter in all my ninety years on this good earth of ours.

And seeing who was considered the best orchestra conductor in his time, seeing him applaud and hug with great force and joy, makes us understand that the performance of who was considered the most complete pianist of the 20th century, was masterfully executed... genius Arrau .

@carlhopkinson

The greatest of the 5 concertos IMHO.

In order to play this way the 2nd mvt one must be an immense pianist and live his whole life for the music. Such a slow tempo but breathtaking interpretation, keeps you stick to youtube from the 1st to the last second

Here is perhaps one of the very best pianist ever known interpreting Beethoven. The second movement makes me cry. It is so spiritual. What a terrific way to end a week! Thanks Claudito, for ever. I'll see you in heaven!

@johnvalentine4720

Beethoven really mined the unfathomable depths of his soul for that second movement. It's the most profound music ever written.

Arrau is one of my favorite pianist. Listen to his Schumann concerto !!. This 4th concerto is just EXCEPTIONNAL !!!

Estudie piano en la escuela Superior de Música en 1969 en las calles de República de Cuba # 92en la Ciudad de México siendo mi maestro el Profesor Salvador Ordoñez ex director del Conservatorio de Música en la Ciudad de México en la época de la segunda guerra mundial. Renunció y dejó Mexico dando conciertos en el mundo debido a que el presidente de México en ese tiempo Gral. Manuel Avila Camacho prohibió tocar música alemana debido a la guerra contra esa nación. Obviamente no se podía tocar Beethoven entre otros. El profesor Ordoñez me daba clases de piano y de historia cada vez que asistía a sus clases. Recuerdo me contó que el era amigo de Claudio Arrau considerándolo el mejor pianista de la época. Una vez vino Arruu a México a tocar un concierto y le habló por teléfono pues tenía dudas sobre un pasaje del concierto que iba a tocar y le pedía que si tenía en su casa la partitura para verificarl. El profesor Ordoñez accedió sin problemas. Se vieron y recuerdo que me comentó que en realidad no había error en la interpretación. ¡Tiene una excelente! memoria me dijo.
