Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 5 in E‑flat Major "Emperor", Rosalía Gómez Lasheras

[@lilliangleiberman5700]

I am 88 years old and I love Beethoven but it has been years since I heard this concerto. By chance, my son told me about You tube...I didn't know it existed until a few days ago. Now I am listening, loving, my heart is pounding, and tears are falling from my eyes. When I think of the days and weeks to come, I realize that it has changed my life, enriched my life, by simply clicking for the works I love. This is a wonderful performance by this pianist.

[@ahp5949]

I wish you many more years of enjoyment. I have loads of recordings on CDs but nothing beats watching the skill and precision involved in producing such an exquisite sound - especially Beethoven, my hero.

[@Nicokleijn]

It's never too late for good music. I have an other great Beethoven piece for you, enjoy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZu7c36Iac53iZo

[@silverado5469]

I as well LOVE Beethoven. Many years ago, I was fortunate enough to have discovered KZbin. I sit in my lazy boy chair in my living room with a 17 inch HP Envy Laptop and spend hours listening to great music with absolutely beautiful video to watch on this great screen on this laptop. I purchased a laptop lap desk and I have all the comforts at hand to listen and watch beautiful videos as long as I like. I am retired and 69 years old. Life is good. Enjoy Beethoven as I do also.

It' like having the world in a hand❤

[@richardsawyer9711]

In this stellar performance by a pianist I have never before heard and an orchestra/conductor combination who are unfamiliar to me, is one of the most important reasons to be thankful for KZbin. At age 93 and unable to travel to live concerts even in the small city where I now reside, this is a daily component of activity that makes life still very much worth living. I now have several artists playing some of the greatest music ever written with unlimited availability for me to watch, up close and personal in ways that even a live performance does not offer. Thanks to all who make it happen.!!!

[@OrzoMondo]

I cannot agree with you more. The excitement of discovering these hidden videos is incredible. Not only the videos are so accessible, but also it is nowadays so cheap and easy to record and film a performance and upload it to KZbin that we get to know performers that perhaps in the olden times had to go through layers and layers of people and record label filters before perhaps seeing the light. And then, only for profit.

[@krakerkrunch]

I very much agree. Nowadays it's not easy to go to concerts when we get older and live in places that do not have this type of entertainment that are necessary for us to make life with an extra meaning of enjoying it when we have got to this age. I'm 81 and still can't belive it. Grateful to God in every possible way and praying things come better for future generations.

# The charm of the live venue video, #Piano solo, #The performance speed of the music is the highest. I was impressed by the performance that #realism, #camera split cut split, and piano solo performance understood the strength and weakness of the keyboard touch. Not only the conductor and the orchestra, but also the camera split video that can read the score of multiple TV camera switching operator switchers (camera split, which is especially important in classic) is wonderful. 🙌👍❤️ Thank you. 😊

This was my first experience of listening to this pianist. In 73 years, I have not heard a finer touch than this. Absolutely perfect.

[@rfurlong100]

Granted, the way Rosalia plays those passages that are to be played pianissimo are amazing. Yet, I wished you looked for the old videos of Alicia Sara Ott. Unfortunately, she suffered a serious illness that left her bedridden for a while. She got back, yet I do not know if she has recovered 100%. She used to have a stunning virtuosity, that allowed her to enjoy fully whatever she played. I especially suggest you listened to the way she used to play The Campanella by Franz Lizt.

This pianist plays the Emperor as though Beethoven wrote it only yesterday, personally handed her the score, gave her a rare smile, then put her in a world-transforming trance. The great man seemed to have weaved the same enchantment over the Duisburger and the sound engineer, too. I do believed I picked up every transcendent note.

After 40 years or so hearing the Emperor on audio and a few times in the concert hall, the appreciation of the absolute beauty of this performance is tops. We all should count how blessed we are to be able to enjoy it this way. And truly, the video multiplies the beauty: To know from watching one appreciates what a joy it is for the orchestra and pianist, as much as for the audience. This has to be near the pinnacle of classical music. If only it were to be possible for our world's cultures to evolve to even a fraction of this extent.

What do you mean when you write "as if" ? You must be mistaken. I think that Rosalia's performance is REALLY to be understood as one when the score finds its way to the piano only after it passes through Rosalia's heart. Yes! I know that it is the feeling of love which inspired the master Beethoven. Rosalia understands the love sent to us by Beethoven and using her piano she tells us her own feelings of love when she plays for us. She hears herself playing to Beethoven's ears in a journey floating on the air and through the years and says "thank you sir".

[@johndevlin]

@@PaulZink She knows what to do!

[@dynamicmusicacademyonline]

@@PaulZink I disagree..... that's why it's called a Piano Concerto, it's a work for ORCHESTRA and a solo instrument, her purpose is to be ONE with the orchestra which includes the conductor. Therefore her gesture toward the orchestra is an extension of her part as a soloist, to bring Unity between the two. Just observe Khatia Buniatishvili and how she "passes the performance over to the orchestra continually as well as moving in sync and unity with the conductor". We are living in 2022 and performance etiquette has dramatically evolved with the likes of Eliane Rodrigues, Khatia Buniatishvili, Rosalía Gómez, and many other concerto soloists who bring humanity and life to their performances instead of stiff upper lip tradition!

Pleitesía eterna a ambos.

What a wonderful rendition Rosalia Plays of Beethoven Piano concerto No.5 Just Perfection.

[@davidokeefe1898]

This wonderful pianist and the Orchestra have done Beethoven justice. Magnificent. Thank you, one and all!

[@tonybklyn5009]

An outstanding performance in every manner. Ms Lasheras is a joy and a delight. Beethoven is smiling in Heaven.

[@pauloribeiro1979]

Yes, i Hope so. Beethoven is really smiling In Heaven.

I don't think Ludwig did much smiling... Perhaps the angels have fixed his ears

Great pianist, she understands the score in contrast to many others. That takes an enormous amount of work, well done.

[@XRP747E]

A wonderful work by Beethoven and stunning performance by the conductor and orchestra. Maria's interpretation was so entrancingly emotive... all in all, this is a performance I'll love listening to over and over again.

[@davidavenoso3980]

Una splendida concentrazione, brava anche l'orchestra. Ma eccezionale Rosali'a.

[@njclark5934]

Utterly mesmerising! Rosalia's face is such a precious study in expression as she gets totally caught up in this knockout Beethoven masterpiece.

[@christopherallen487]

Knockout herself !

[@voraciousreader3341]

You know, I just love it when a really wonderful young pianist gives me the gift of hearing a very familiar, famous piece as though I’ve somehow grown new ears....it happened some years ago with a young Hélène Grimaud playing Beethoven’s 4th Concerto (Orchestre de Paris, Christoph Eschenbach, recorded at the 2001 London Proms, here on YT), and a very young Glenn Gould’s interpretation of this piece (with Leonard Bernstein and the New York Phil). I have to say that this young woman has done it again, with the Emperor Concerto, a piece I’ve heard more than 100 times! Ms. Lasheras has a fabulously fluid and precise technique paired with the kind of musicality and intelligence which makes her sound her own. This is really an amazing accomplishment, kudos to her!!

[@douwmoller6456]

I enjoyed this very much. I've only recently discovered the Grimaud and Lascheras versions of the 5th and to me very different. I would like to hear from the connoisseurs what they think of the two versions of these two stunning- to-look-at ladies who seem to relax and enjoy the EMPEROR. Douw

[@barbaraglynn1531]

@@douwmoller6456, I have been a follower of Helene Grimaud for many years and especially love her performance of this Beethoven’s 5th Concerto. She is known for her perfect technique and very singular interpretation of each work she plays. Grimaud has a sensitivity, warmth and vitality in all that she plays. She employs no gimmicks, no outlandish movements, or postures and course, a simple elegant, classy wardrobe. She has been on the concert tour for more than 30 years; and, now in 2023 at 53, she is considered one of the top ten pianists in the world. I do find a lot of similarities to Helene Grimaud in Rosalia Gomez Lasheras. I wish her much success as she grows in her career.

[@karstensturm4198]

I am convinced Beethoven would appreciate Rosalia Gomez´s interpretation of one of his most beautiful piano concertos. :-)

Rosalia sends her love, our love, to Beethoven with a big Thank You Sir. And I know he is listening.

J " aime son jeu et sa musicalité sans extravagance , avec naturalité . Elle vit des moments de joie intense et cela j' adore . Bravo

[@jimmcdonald7863]

When I was an undergraduate student at the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas, I would go to concerts every week given by the College of Music. This is where I learned to appreciate the classical music of the great composers Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Chopin, Vivaldi, Wagner, Grieg, Strauss, and many more.

[@pekkaT13]

Wonderful Rosalia! Long live Beethoven and you.

[@petetotaro9510]

Rosalia Gomez Lasheras by far, has all the absolute attributes of a genius on the Piano! Her attire, posture, and Beauty is so unique that the Bar has been reached way above most all piano artist! She has set the appearance of what models every upcoming student on the Ivories which one will strive to achieve as their goal!

[@alfredwiener7644]

So, und nur so, gefällt mir der Klavierpart dieses Konzerts: ohne aufgesetztes teutonisch-heroisches Pathos, schlank und rank, kraftvoll, energiegeladen und doch von einfühlsamer Zartheit. Danke für die erfrischend einfallsreiche Interpretation!
