Beethoven : Piano Trio in D Major Op.70 No1, "Ghost" - Beaux Arts Trio

[@renaudpontier]

Le second mouvement est extraordinaire, mystérieux, lunaire, indescriptible...

[@Stevarino1020]

Menahim Pressler -the Ultimate chamber pianist .The backbone of this trio for so many years. A dynamo.

[@tigerarmyrule]

For all the undoubted brilliance of Chopin and others Beethoven is the towering genius presiding over the piano repertoire. This is among the finest pieces of chamber music he wrote. The best of the best. We are privileged.

[@nickb220]

bro saying Beethoven wrote better piano music than Chopin is crazy :( chopin towered over beethoven in this regard

[@JohnKing-fb7gr]

Yes, tigerarmyrule, you are right- many subsequent composers acknowledged as much

[@sidera9448]

피아니스트 메나헴 프레슬러 옹의 영면을 기원합니다. 한국에서 보자르의 베토벤 트리오 전곡 공연하셨을 때 영롱했던 그 분의 피아노 음색을 잊을 수가 없습니다. 김영욱 연주자 덕분인지 한국에서 자주 공연을 하셨는데 그때마다 직관했던 터라 저에게는 너무나 친숙했던 연주자였는데 부고 소식을 들으니 마음이 참 쓸쓸해지네요..

Simply wonderful: the music and the interpretation!

[@stevenj9970]

So many different iterations for this group. After the original playing line up which was unbelievable and unbeatable - every other iteration should just be called Pressler and friends.

32 presuntuosi che non hanno capito nulla di musica!!!! trio meraviglioso!!!

[@gerardopromo]

WOW 😮

[@prof.jasonsaid2718]

Great performance to a greater masterpiece

So true!

Perfect !!!

[@charlieeverett6865]

I saw them twice at Jordan Hall in Boston 2000-2005 with the same line up. Both times they played "Ghost" and "Archduke." I always wanted to hear them play some Haydn piano trios in concert. The box set of complete Hadyn trios by them is precisely "desert island music" as The Penguin Guide to Classical Music stated. Heavenly. And this is on that same astral sphere.

koreans amirite

[@55archduke]

Absolutely right Charlie - their Haydn Trios are transcendent. Both the music and the performances

[@daniel3231995]

names?

[@richardspenceley5016]

The box set of Haydn trios is superb but is played by a different line up. The pianist is the same but the violinist was Isidore Cohen and the cellist Bernard Greenhouse

[@Rokudammela]

Thanks!

[@yowzephyr]

0:53 is a good place to start.

[@TheAboriginal1]

you can't wait a full 50 seconds for the musicians to walk on stage? pitiful

[@WilfriedBerk]

Antonio Meneses, cellist

[@honoratamusica]

24:10 ?

[@suzysue7962]

I will never see the Rock and roll mentality meant for the piece.

[@tmst2199]

Intriguing. I've detected the rocker in his piano sonatas. You?

[@prof.jasonsaid2718]

With due respect to all other composers and different opinions, I can't understand how Beethoven's name can be mentioned, included or compared to other composers!? Is it ignorance? or pretence of knowledge ?

[@arimakousei6523]

No doubt Beethoven was one of the best composers of all time, but I wouldn’t devalue all the other remarkable geniuses. I think they’re all great in different ways)

[@prof.jasonsaid2718]

@@arimakousei6523 geniuses is an easy word used very lightly. Beethoven uniqueness among all others came from that hos the only one before it since that hos music covered all spectrum of light earth and fire. The human struggle .. pain and suffering. It is definitely it is not an entertaining music... it is not a background music. His music needs complete silence and reflection to be able to revolutionised our way of viewing others and the universe and bad and good. It philosophy express in music

[@josephdelkins]

TURN OFF THE ADVERTISEMENTS! YOU ARE RUINING THE MUSIC. HAVE ONE AD BEFORE THE PIECE BEGINS, IF YOU MUST, BUT INTERLACING ADS THROUGHOUT THE COMPOSITION IS INTELLECTUALLY AND MORALLY EVIL IN ESSENCE.

[@jeanparke9373]

Violinist looks a LOT uncomfortable

[@55archduke]

He's probably afraid of the Ghost...

[@paolobautista4104]

the violonist is out of tune, he does it on purpose?

[@sebastianzaczek]

Paolo Bautista maybe it's a violist...🤔

[@suzysue7962]

The rendering is dull. It could be better. I don't think these people understood Beethoven's intentions for the piece.

[@cellotennis]

is there any way I could still sign up to your chamber music masterclass ? any help would be much appreciated !

[@tmst2199]

@@cellotennis ouch

[@boroglisic790]

[@MashedTubers]

This movement is not marked presto but their interpretation heads in that direction. Allegro vivace e con brio needs to be distinguished from presto.

[@edmuzonline3169]

I'm sure you understand exactly what Beethoven meant
