Beethoven - Piano Concerto No 1 - Zimerman, Wiener Philharmoniker (1991)

Ludwig van Beethoven - Piano Concerto No. 1 in C major, Op. 15
Krystian Zimerman, piano and conductor, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra
Recorded at the Musikverein, Große Saal, Vienna, 12/1991

[@paul7606]

The finest pianist of our time.

[@AlexLiszt]

It is incredible how good he is..

[@benrlego]

Zimerman’s solo 1991 performances of Nos. 1 and 2 as well as the rest of the cycle with Bernstein are available on DVD, which I assume this video was ripped directly from. Very well worth owning. Zimerman re-recorded this with the London Symphony Orchestra and Simon Rattle conducting in 2020, however I find even with Zimerman conducting these original 1991 recordings are better.

[@RG-ja34sep]

40 full minutes of goosebumps! Music and passion just CANNOT BE BETTER than this! Beethoven was a complete musical genius, along with Mozart. I just can’t separate them!

[@irajhekmati102]

Beethoven Piano concerto number 1 with Zimmerman playing the piano and in the same time conducting. It is absolutely unbelievable. It is one of the kind , close your eyes and Fly over the sky with Zimmerman!

[@victorkravchenko8596]

Можно слушать это волшебство не прерывая до безконечности, просто волшебные льющееся звуки, как родниковая вода, вода из ледников Гималаев в исполнении этого кудесника,, чародея от рояля...вроде звуки льются сами по себе, как Ниагарский водопад.

[@gilardlerner583]

he is no.1

[@lillianli1587]

Gilard Lerner lol so right

[@anamariabadaloni9079]

Pura belleza, un niño jugando con su juguete preferido, la emoción y la vivencia de cada sonido, su corazón en cada nota. Sus ojos hablan, sus gestos hacen palpitar esos instrumentos. Insuperable Zimerman.

[@annedwyer797]

Beethoven's "other" underappreciated piano concerto (besides the Piano Concerto no. 2) 1st movement: 1:00 2nd movement (SO beautiful!): 18:58 3rd movement (so charming!): 31:44

[@ImranHassan6139]

The quality of the video and sound is so amazing....just brilliant.

[@santiagologioco7971]

I thank the world that this godly experience is recorded for all of us to just... enjoy.

[@jairoestupinan9924]

Zimerman tocando y dirigíendo : "que locura fascinante!!

[@serbanalexandru1798]

Cred ca am ascultat acest concert de 100 de ori si chiar daca l-as asculta de 1000 de ori,tot nou mi s-ar parea.

[@tessrosa7504]

Why not, he is GOD gifted person. So perfect! Oh what a Genius! No one can compare with him. One of a kind! Second to none!!! Love him!

[@songjahass4930]

I love to hear Beethoven piano concerto1 all three movements again and again never get bored of hearing, just loving familiar sounds always.!!

[@Richard-vu7kh]

First heard this concerto when I was 6 years old...my Mum gave it to me for my birthday.....played the sh#t out of it on my plastic record player. Today I’m 66...still find it absolutely electrifying ! (I have a better sound system now...also a Grotrian Steinweg grand piano ). Zimmerman is awesome - I wonder if he’s an old dude like me now ?....bet he’s still the coolest ! Thank you for this wonderful concert !

[@gazmuri-cherniaknadezhda6332]

Le son d'un Gotrian Steiweg je le connais d'avant ma naissance, c'était le piano de concert de Maman pianiste, c'est le son parfait pour Beethoven... Zimmerman ne vieillit pas, aucun véritable artiste ne peut vieillir...Nous sommes des éternels adolescents, vous parlez de votre âge comme si vous étiez déjà un vieillard! Je viens d'avoir 66 ans et je ne le crois pas!

[@johnhartley8504]

Incredible beautiful soul moving. Zimerman is so emotional in his plying & conducting.

[@raphaelcaron8981]

36:19 I just love the passion, the enthusiasm and the sheer commitment that Zimerman puts into his conducting and his playing... Fantastic performance.

[@michelfranchi3120]

Merci monsieur Zimmermann une fois de plus que du bonheur

[@gonzalovaldivia3835]

gran pianista, entre los mejores. excelente y hermosa ejecución.

[@notaire2]

Wunderschöne Aufführung dieses fein komponierten Konzerts im mozartischen Stil mit gut artikulierten Töne des Soloklaviers und perfekt harmonisierten Töne anderer Instrumente. Der geniale Solist/Dirigent leitet das kompakte und ausgezeichnete Orchester im gut phrasierten Tempo mit effektiver Dynamik. Einfach Gänsehaut!

[@MeganHuang-fg6ox]

So….classical play. I enjoy your play the most in the world. No. 1 pianist of all time. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@joselopes2293]

I wonder with the magnificent conductor that is Zimerman. His sensitivity when playing is also amazing. This masterpiece is incredible in harmony and touches us deeply, Beethoven was a fabulous composer perhaps the greatest that ever existed so far. Thanks for this incredible recording. The orchestra is superb. Viva Beethoven and his divine music.

[@lghyun6514]

공감요~음악과도 한몸이지만 힘 하나 안들이고 베토벤을 쉬운곡 연주하듯..정말 괴짜 피아니스트라지만 피아노 실력만큼은 당대 최고인듯한 짐머만~~2악장은 그냥 끝!

Hi is no.1 in the world!

[@funni2883]

Yidi Ding yes it is

[@lindasegerious9248]

This is one of my favourite versions of this concerto. Pity about the octave scales leading to the re-exposition, I love it when they're played like a forthright glissando.

[@elianeluty2065]

[@scenesfromamemory118]

Did him (and them) do not turn pages at all or the video editing is for purpose to not spot these moments?

[@penguinexpress12]

I believe it is memorized and the score is solely for his conducting if the orchestral parts?

[@Ttinytino1]

Mr Zimmerman we have to cancel the performance. Mr Bernstein has fallen ill. Zimmerman - hold my beer

[@aegeanbo]

Can't stand the advertisement interrupting the music. It is insane! I would rather willingly watch 5 minutes of ads before the un- interrupted music.

[@popolala2160]

use adblock!!!!!! it is an entirely different experience without interruptions

[@User-ei2kw]

it is claimed by umg look desc

[@rayzhang9453]

I refuse to believe that this was 1991

[@SarahJones-wy5us]

WHY? WHAT PROOF DO YOU REQUIRE?????.

[@scenesfromamemory118]

Why? Looks older?

[@Spyrine]

it's probably due to the outstanding quality of the footage, this is a great example of a very well preserved recording

Imagine what those hands can do. He is loving the piano. What if it was a woman. Oh that hands can do wonder, mentally and perhaps…..

[@gavinwilshaw2312]

Was it my imagination or did I hear him humming, especially in the 2nd movement?

[@theMEANpipe]

actually if you wear headphones you can hear him humming throughout the whole piece

[@undisclosedmusic4969]

Love this piece, but the first movement cadenza is just ENDLESS 🙄🙄

[@user-we2tt5to1p]

[@evanpyne4426]

Cn i just point out that there's not a single woman in the orchestra

[@andrewtunis2023]

Well, believe it or not, the VPO did not allow women in the orchestra at this time. I believe that it was not until 1997 that they hired their first woman player ever.

Do not play this. It has commercials in it. There are versions on YT without them. Blasphemious.

[@Briu1970]

Ad Block on Google prevents them.

[@paulh569]

He shouldn't conduct. Here he seems to have abandoned that elegant Austrian viscount image as a soloist and appears more like an eccentric scientist. 😂

[@richy77]

Lol Lenny died however so he couldn’t conduct the first two concertos. Not sure why zimerman didn’t find another conductor though

[@benrlego]

@@richy77 I believe Zimerman did this as a respectful gesture to Bernstein, as he thought introducing another conductor would take away the connection to the Bernstein thus making his cycle incomplete.
