The Grammy award-winning pianist Daniel Barenboim has been active on the concert stage since the age of seven when he made his stage debut in his hometown of Buenos Aires. Well known for his work with the East-Western Divan Orchestra, a group of young Arab and Israeli musicians, he is currently the director of the Berlin State Opera, La Scala (Milan) and the Staatskapelle Berlin. Barenboim is described as "one of the few musicians in the world today who could accurately be describe as legendary".

Always love listening to the Boim play the Beet.

[@munchichoksey4938]

We are so fortunate to live in an age when these performances are so easily available and will be there long after the great musicians have gone: Beethoven and Barenboim have their place in eternity

[@kenoliver8913]

No matter how many time I hear it that segue from the Adagio into the Rondo never ceases to move me, 40 years after I first heard Roger Woodward do it at the Sydney Opera House. What a perfect sense of modulations Beethoven had ...

[@kimsahl8555]

This is gold, pure gold, what a pianist ...

Una meglio dell'altra!! E tutte rigorosamente a memoria... Senza spartito!!! Un inchino.

Amazing performance! A perfect mastery of textures and dynamics on the piano, this Barenboim guy's got a bright future (hehe)

Maybe Brendel but It's hard to say

[@RaineriHakkarainen]

Wilhelm Kempff and Emil Gilels much better beautiful colorful piano sound than second-rated Barenboim! Barenboim so over-rated!!

„Waldstein“ was dedicated to lord Waldstein...

[@apostolismoschopoulos1876]

Maybe this performance was dedicated to haydn?

"Count" Ferdinand Ernst Joseph Gabriel von Waldstein und Wartenberg

[@claudiovandelli881]

grazie

[@Eva-ut9rs]

nice

[@peace-now]

Never knew how they did that at 26:06.

[@eligarf]

There are three different interpretations. Still under debate as to what the composer did. Barenboim splits the octave scales and many do glissandos but the score indicates octave scales. 🤷‍♂️

No scusate se continuo ma ora vengo e mi spiego: per "suonare"bene Beethoven bisogna essere persone mature cioè capaci di provare tutti gli stati umani non ultima la tenerezza cioè in poche parole essere completi . E cmq riferirò tutto agli ET come al solito

[@michelacampo8832]

Forse domani mi riposo

[@ribusgan]

Is this the concert where he played all 32 sonatas?

[@ClassicalMusic-ds9yt]

yes

[@CarlosLima-oe7wn]

Barenboim é virtuose. Só tem um problema: Não sorri.

[@afifi21]

This piece isn’t dedicated to Haydn, like it says in the beginning...

[@georgepantzikis7988]

I think he means that he dedicated the performance

[@jordidewaard2937]

No 20 was. Maybe he just confused it

[@kenoliver8913]

@@georgepantzikis7988 Possibly because Haydn himself would have very likely have jammed in this room at Razumovsky's joint ...

[@michelacampo8832]

Ho deciso studierò il 3 mov della sonata aurora e il e mov della sonata tempesta 3mov invece lascio perdere ma non del tutto il 3 mov del chiaro di luna.....si insomma io Beethoven non lo lascio più dopo averlo conquistato con tanta fatica

barenboim in 2005 is best

Ma poi dico io ma non è che tutti possono suonare tutto roba scarsa in giro c'è né assai solo chi suona Bach può affrontare tutti gli altri artisti......mi vengono i nervi!

[@germandanielzamora2902]

Debió seguir interpretando en el piano, es genial. No me gusta cómo director de orquesta

[@killamanshank-one3762]

Bit too slow...

[@DaNiel-wj8qk]

yes, but mostly it is even played much slower... do you know if Fazil Say had performed this ever?

[@DaNiel-wj8qk]

i meant the 1st set, the 3rd set is really too slow

[@theodentherenewed4785]

The speed is subject to individual interpretation. I like to juggle different recordings to have a fresh experience. Barenboim is famous for being Beethoven's interpreter and I think he does the job well.

[@joelmacinnes2391]

I thought if anything the first movement was faster than I'd expect

[@joelmacinnes2391]

Wait yeah, the other two are pretty slow. I think the 2nd can be played almost as slow as you like, but Barenboim's 2nd here, as with Valentina Lisitsa's, does drag on a bit, the 3rd is really hard to get right, too many people play it like some sort of sprint where it's just too fast, but you definitely can play it too slowly, as I think he does here
