Half the world it seems is filled with evil toward the other half not because you disagree but, because you see the darkness of life rather than the promise.

I like that the orchestra does not override the piano

[@pmdoublet1948]

true

[@caterscarrots3407]

I don't really like that the orchestra isn't more involved. I would go like full on Pathetique orchestration and have the orchestra convey everything the piano can and more. That is, if I was to orchestrate this sonata, which I probably wouldn't. I would probably keep it at Quartet and leave Piano -> Orchestra expansion for the likes of the Pathetique and Appassionata Sonatas.

[@michaelfelden8611]

Therefore the orchestra it`s called in german a body of sound aka Klangkörper. It`s an organic living thing.

Well, that was a pleasant surprise for me. The piece is written for piano of course, and arranging it for symphonic orchestra is very difficult. This is basically orchestra accompanying piano recital, which is the best option. Loved it!

So beautiful, and I got goosebumps. Thank you for playing. I would love to see your concert in person one day. Cheers, xx

[@michaelmarsten4019]

Congratulations not only to an excellent pianist, but to a master arranger! Others have tried to do orchestral arrangements of this piece for years - but this one captures both the original composer's essence and the orchestra's diversity of tone colors and articulations WITHOUT overshadowing or in any way overdoing sentimentality. Beethoven himself would have congratulated you on your exquisite taste and on its wise application to the infinitely diverse possibilities of musical interpretation!

[@taniapetrova9977]

Wonderful comment!

[@philiponcale1820]

This is a beautiful orchestral adaptation of a phenomenal piano sonata. Beethoven was a very troubled man in his personal life, but his talent and abilities are unquestionable to this day. Many people consider his ninth symphony the greatest single achievement in the history of music.

I LOVE when that happens… and this piece and almost ALL of its renditions get me every time… a piece of music crammed FULL with emotion… so powerful, it will make you weep

[@TheCountExtreme]

I like how the piano is even in front of the conductor, as it highlights how central to the piece it is - the conductor follows the pianist, and the rest of the orchestra follows him. Beautiful

[@ShaunakDesaiPiano]

For most works consisting of piano and orchestra, those often known as piano concertos, the piano is always in front of the conductor. But importantly, the soloist in a concerto (violin, clarinet, flute, whichever) is always positioned next to the conductor instead of directly in front of them, so the pair can easily communicate during the performance. In the case of the pianist, this results in the piano being in front of the conductor.

[@DansChessLounge]

This is the best live performance of moonlight sonata of all time!

[@sharpmuzic121]

It's the most perfect unification of all instruments! I especially like the Presto Agitato and the string section.

[@thatguystar817]

Imagine being the pianist at this moment, the pressure to play perfectly, knowing that if you fumble, the entire rest of the orchestra will follow suit, the expectation to play with milimeter accuracy, especially during the third movement, is definitely enough to crush the piano itself. The weight of the Orchestra is entirely on the pianists shoulders

[@denisebrucato9073]

Later hearing Georgii Cherkin's version with Classic FM Orchestra opened some more doors for me. Berliner orchestra here is "maybe accompanying piano", while Cherkin's sounds like "orchestra and piano add one to another". It is hard to explain what i mean, i will listen both versions on monitors because this is sometimes the only way to understand classical music. Berliners have great great sound, it always did and i will try too see in person how they set up mics, place and record. I love it!
