Barenboim: Beethoven - Sonata No. 32 in C minor, Op. 111

[@stevej061069]

That 2nd movement is the most profound, otherworldly, spiritual and ethereal piece of piano music ever written in my opinion. I honestly believe that Beethoven was and will remain utterly unique in human history; how any man, made of the exact same stuff as the rest of us, can have music like that inside of him, is simply astonishing. He soared to heights at this time of his life never surpassed before or since. I don't believe any other artist has ever communicated on an emotional level with quite the same degree of intensity, passion and honesty as Beethoven continues to do, almost 200 years after his death.

[@richardbrown6611]

Agreed this music does seem to be an objective view of humanity stated from another world. How Beethoven did this beats me completely

Wonderful music and wonderfulinterpretation y Barebboim

[@RobertOrgRobert]

People say the tempo is “too slow “ but this is no ordinary sonata ! It’s one that takes the soul to the highest level !

[@charlottewhyte9804]

this last one always amazes me,something very magical about it.

[@MutantsInDisguise]

Maybe this is the best Sonata I've ever listened to, by the genius that was, is, and will always be Beethoven.

[@BillDeef]

Thank you, Euro Arts Channel. This is a World heritage performance. It is not exaggerated to say that it is perhaps the most profound performance of the most profound music ever created by our species. Knowing the world nowadays, it is not surprising, either, that there are so few views on a platform for the average human around right now.

[@kareljanecek7089]

I am very glad to appreciate Bill Deef says. I am 9O and listened to all the Sonatas when Mr Barenboim played them when being quite young. Nowadays his playing is even more profound. I never have been to listen to anything as gorgeous rendering my favourite composer´s compositions as this Master. In addition it is perfectly natural, as if Beethoven played it. Thanks for loading it. Littlejohn.

Well, there are too few of us watching this channel, but it's the kind of company I like to keep! :-)

[@jameshadley3014]

I'm glad to be in your company, so to speak, listening to this sublime music. This speaks to all ages and to our times.

[@BillDeef]

@@kareljanecek7089 The late Beethoven makes life worth living. I am 70 and will always think so.

[@BillDeef]

@@jameshadley3014 we may be dispersed, but maybe there will be a day when this music is appreciated by a greater number of our species.

[@carolwilcox7816]

I had to hear this having just read the description in Thomas Mann's Dr Faustus. I knew Barenboim was the version to choose. Incredible performance, incredible piece. I've never heard before.

[@corneliakapelinski]

I felt exactly the same way ..must hear that sonata after reading Thomas Mann..because it's an unbeliveable description..and to hear it is to love it..this Beethoven touches deeply, he breaks all patterns , leaves all behind, and without any hearing..he follows the inner sequenze of tones and rhytmen, or the music of the spheres or the universe

[@MutantsInDisguise]

Yeah. I've been reading Mann's Doktor Faustus, and he's forced me to listen to Beethoven's 32nd sonata 😅.

[@erlinhld8745]

Göttlich. Hier hat Beethoven sich selbst übertroffen und die künstlerische Überleitung zu Chopin geschaffen, der bis heute die Klaviermusik zur unübertrefflichen Vollendung geführt hat. Aber die Gemessenheit und Kunstfertigkeit, mit der Beethoven hier die Sekunden (als Intervalle) tiefromantisch einsetzt, hat selbst Chopin sich nie getraut.

[@ferrafran98]

Muchísimas gracias por haber subido las 32 sonatas para piano.

[@onductorsilence6874]

Большое спасибо, EuroArtsChannel, за полное собрание сонат любимого Бетховена в гениальном исполнении!

[@vittoriahawksworth8117]

My mother used to listen to this sonata as well as others of course. I was desperate to find it again.

maravillosa versión de un Baremboin joven y dinámico

[@robertnagy985]

Beethoven is alive.

[@jameshadley3014]

That's it. Always alive. I think somehow, of all the arts, music achieves this past-present-future effect. As Keats said of the Grecian urn, "a friend to man".

32번... 그야말로 '진국'이다... 어떻게 표현해야할지 모르겠다. 베토벤의 예술성의 극치.

[@danielbriamonte]

Todas las 32 sonatas de esta serie están "Dedicadas a Joseph Haydn"??? Hay un error. Tienen que tomarse el trabajo de averiguar las dedicatorias de cada sonata, y no dar por sentado que porque las tres primeras sonatas hayan sido dedicadas a Haydn el resto de las sonatas también. ;) Por lo demás, muy buenos los videos, muchas gracias por subirlos!!

It was composed in 1822. It wasn't meant to 'groove'.

So he was a boring pianist when he was young too. Good to know.
