Never have I been so impressed with this artist flawless articulation ! Those that know me and my critiques know this is extremely high praise. Not only was the articulation precise but clean and well matched dynamically. Congratulations on a fantastic performance.

Only now have I become aware of this performance on this medium, and when I looked up the details, I saw that it took place on the EXACT day my wife made her final departure. I hardly need to say (but I will) what this performance now means to me: heaven. JAT

[@whirbet]

I have long had a special place in my musical heart for this first piano concerto of the great master, and this performance is a revelation I confess I hardly expected from such a youthful soloist and conductor. As far as musicianship is concerned, if there is a wrong note in this entire performance, I certainly must have missed it. As far as phrasing in both the tender and forceful passages, this is a performance of such elegance, balance and overall excellence in both interpretation and execution that I am left with praise to spare even in comparison with some of the great recorded performances of the past, and that includes the Backhaus - Schmidt-Isserstedt from Vienna circa 1958 and the Brendel - van Kempen from Berlin circa 1953. How this ever more amazing Frankfurt band and its soloist and conductor here quite pulled off such distinctly exciting flashes of emphasis at the exhilarating speed they took the final movement -- though I'm no general fan of very high speeds in Beethoven -- is a wonder to me. A really unique and thrilling as well as emotionally penetrating performance. And how fortunate that it has been preserved on videotape. Finally, how reassuring that such talent, such skill, such devotion, such genius are not lacking in the new generations of musicians coming to the fore despite the challenges to everything worth preserving in this difficult new century.

[@dinulipati]

@whirbet: Nice comment. - In an interesting interview, the outstanding violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaya makes an appeal to the audience: "Please let us (artists) make a mistake now and then. It gives life to our performance". I'm glad she has taught me to ignore wrong notes. .-

Very elegant, flowing and natural interpretation. Bravo !

[@notaire2]

Klare und zugleich anmutige Aufführung dieses fein komponierten Konzerts mit technisch perfektem Klang des Soloklaviers und gut harmonisierten Töne aller Instrumente. Der geniale Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester im gut phrasierten Tempo mit angenehmer Dynamik. Echt bewundernswert!

[@oliverkubiak6310]

Stimme nur teilweise zu. Die Aufführung fand ich ebenfalls sehr gelungen und vor allem vom Solisten brilliant interpretiert. Ich saß recht weit vorne und habe über Schwizgebel sehr gestaunt. So blitz blank und gekonnt phrasiert und gestaltet hört man Beethoven gar nicht so oft. Technisch einfach so stilsicher und hoch musikalisch. Bravissimo Den Dirigenten würde ich allerdings niemals als genial bezeichnen. Das merkt man im Beethoven zwar nicht unbedingt. Das zweite Stück des Abends, Dvorak 8te, war jedoch wirklich eher nichtssagend. Da hatte er so wenig zu sagen, dass das Orchester nicht sehr inspiriert aufspielen konnte. Es spielte unter Ihm zwar sehr routiniert und wie immer auf sehr hohem Niveau. Das Wort "genial" ist hier aber sehr fehl am Platz. Da kann der junge Mann von anderen Kollegen noch viel lernen. Höre man mal Manfred Honeck mit dem gleichen Orchester mit Dvorak 8... Welten, Welten...

[@notaire2]

Danke für Ihre detaillierte und lesenswerte Antwort! Aber alles gehört zum Geschmack jedes Zuhörers. Mindestens, eine hörenswerte Aufführung!

[@Nai61a]

Oliver Kubiak: Leider ist mein Deutsch nicht gut genug alles auf Deutsch zu schreiben, Entschuldigung, also ... I agree with you. I would go as far as to say that this young conductor makes me nervous because I don't think he has yet learned to LISTEN intently. It's as if he is making the gestures he has planned to make and will make them no matter what is actually going on. He is very lucky to have such a good orchestra to support him.

[@oliverkubiak6310]

Wie erfreulich ausnahmsweise mal zivilisierten und respektvollen Dialog in solchen Kommentaren zu lesen!

[@whomakemefeel]

What is really important about this masterpiece is that is the first piano concerto for young Luigi as the greatest piano soloist that the music history ever known! I cannot ever get bored of hearing this bar starting at 3:37 full of venom and enthusiasm and determination.

[@reshefgeri]

This performance is delight for the ear and eye. At last this beethoven 1st piano concerto wins a performance that put it on a totally new level of experience and interest. Especially, but definitely not only, the cadenza of the talented pianist, which exposes his fresh and delightful creative power, and youthful, goyous personality... Thanx for the pure musical delicatessen ... Geri, israel

Ya sé que me enamoró de Bethoven. Resulta que una vez, ahí encaja perfecto. Tipo polisemia funciona.

[@AColonelPanic]

The use of natural horns and trumpets next to their modern counterparts is an interesting choice.... I don't think I've seen another orchestra do that.

[@ZiadSaber-kg3cl]

I love this performance and I am a big fan of this orchestra and its channel! Great pianist! But I am very disappointed with the cinematography and production. I felt that an high school graduate is the editor of the reel! Crucial parts where the pianist is dismantling difficult techniques, your frame shows the back of the orchestra, And the cadenza shot starts with a side shot of the back of the pianist and first violin section without a focus on the hands and keyboard. 😅

[@whirbet]

I'd like to add a little correction, not that it matters crucially to my point or much of anything else. But for the sake of the few of us left with memories for performances long past (and for nitpickers in general) and with due respect for the accomplishments of Alfred Brendel, what I was thinking of was the work of Wilhelm Kempff not Brendel, i.e., "KEMPFF - van Kempen from Berlin circa 1953."

[@duwir5959]

the conductor was not more than 2 minutes on the screen. it seems it´s solo piece for pianists. strange camera view, like a pop-concert.

[@freeqwerqwer]

This young player is just a typical talent, but not anywhere close to a mature artist. He doesn't even flow well with the orchestra.

[@whirbet]

To each his own. The symbiosis between this soloist and the orchestra is such a marvel to me and so flawlessly in sync that I cannot imagine what inspired the above comment.

[@freeqwerqwer]

@whirbet , he is just relying on his own hindsight understanding of good sound, of good playing --- which, by itself, reveals a talent----but there's nothing behind the notes that he plays, no storytelling, no long ideas, not even real emotion, but just vignettes of sweet sounds. He is just pursuing sweet sounds, like a music beginner. It takes time to understand the real purpose of music.

[@whirbet]

@@freeqwerqwer Thanks, Fred, for clarifying that. In any case, the "real purpose of music" to which you refer might line up, I guess, with even broader arcane restrictives such as the "real purpose of Art," the "real purpose of Life," the "real purpose of the Universe," etc. All of which must have somehow escaped me along the way. I'm only 84, so maybe there's still time. I can only hope that with all the ability and hard work testified by what my humble ear tells me, these two heroes of my naive enthusiasm in this case -- Schwizgebel and Gernon (respectively 32 and 29 in 2019, both older than Beethoven was at 27 when in 1797 he composed his First Piano Concerto presumably including its "sweet" 2nd Movement trills) -- will not hang back too long waiting for the "real" enlightenment and taste that might at last be allowed by virtue of "ageism" either going forward or in reverse! I'd stay to squabble further but my impressions of such circular conversations is that they only ever arrive at the same place. As you indicate, opinion. And I really must get back to my favorite pandemic pastime of "pursuing sweet sounds" for their own sake. Ah, how sweet it is!
