I see two people talking to each other with music. With passion and love

[@laurencestaiff7338]

The second movement of Brahms’ Second Symphony is such a fascinating movement full of ambiguity. Even from the upbeat of the first bar, you never really discover what key it’s supposed to be in. Is it B major or G# minor? This piece was my first introduction to orchestral music back in 1993 playing 2nd oboe at the ripe old age of 13. I can tell you, it was a bit of a revelation. Such a great choice for Mr Zander to choose to reveal the passion and torment of Brahms. And it ties in so well to the Cello Sonata in E minor. Thank you and well done!

[@brysoncheng7574]

Will there ever be a piano solo masterclass?

[@beckyp9633]

He has a few if you search his name. Choosing your World talks have at least 1

[@brysoncheng7574]

Becky P thank you!

[@igeeklabs]

If Master Benjamín Zander will be a KZbinr, hel will be 'the bomb'

[@diogobras5135]

6:50 I'm seating in my room and I felt the urge to get up and clap lol

[@XxBigguy3xX]

Cool stuff! When will we get to see a bass master class?

[@boi8810]

There was one

[@boi8810]

Forgot the title but there is

[@XxBigguy3xX]

BOI send me the title when you find it.

[@watutman]

"Who am I to think Brahms meant something else? I think he meant something else." lol

[@MrPetaya]

For a brief moment I thought a somehow hidden Cello Concerto by Brahms had suddenly been discovered... then came the disappointment :(

[@petermarin]

What do you mean

[@ivan_says_hi]

@@petermarin BOOOOM! Ivan the necromancer is here to necro this thread to explain the comment. The title of the video originally said concerto not sonata, that's what caused all the confused comments. At some point later the mistake was corrected by the channel owners.

[@lucosi98]

@@ivan_says_hi I'm laughing so hard with your introduction hahahahahhaha thank you

[@andrewrogers8707]

Video title states concerto rather than sonata, otherwise a wonderful masterclass thank you for uploading

[@BostonPhilharmonic]

Thank you!

[@teckyify]

16:44 I looked the same :DDDDDDDD

[@ismaelsoto9680]

He is so cute and intelligent

[@leonardniamh]

I don't even like this piece & the guy is fundamentally beautifully talented

[@millefeuille2680]

Why is the cellist so bad

[@oldbird4601]

Chill

[@LukasPawlikowski]

@Millefeuille: Hey, I am the cellist from the video. I'm always open to constructive criticism because I want to constantly get better and better in what I do. Could you please be more specific about what you didn't like about me? I'm happy to listen to you. So are other listeners. Thank you.

[@millefeuille2680]

Łukasz Pawlikowski Your intonation is too unstable for the fact that you’re in a masterclass with such a professional.

[@FirstnameLastname-et3wd]

@@millefeuille2680 Zander would have said that in the masterclass if it were

[@butlerr13tas]

You're kidding surely...sight reading in front of an audience...working out the fingering alone in the time shows this guy's musicality. It was compelling to watch and very impressive.
