Claudio Arrau Beethoven Piano Sonata No. 3 (Full)

[@aseverino]

Arrau es la perfección y la musicalidad absoluta. La grabación de las 32 sonatas de Beethoven es un monumento patrimonio de la humanidad. Su Listz es sublime. Brahms, increible.

[@jorgevictorandresgallardocaro]

Arrau siempre lo he amado, principalmente por Beethoven, pero su Liszt es fascinante. La primera vez que escuché el estudio transcendental no. 12 de Liszt en sus manos fue como si nunca lo hubiera escuchado antes.

[@giuseppemariaperego8937]

Sonorità luminosa, affascinante❤❤❤❤❤❤Giuseppe Perego Monza 16.2.1962 Grazie

[@rinacravero]

Nuestro gran Claudio Arrau, insigne pianista chileno, orgullo nacional. Tras su fallecimiento quedó catalogado entre los mejores panistas de todos los tiempos. Viva en la gloria del Señor Padre que nos lo envió para nutrir y enriquecer nuestros espíritus. Gracias Claudio Arrau.

[@inscario]

Es excepcional la profundidad que logra dar Arrau a Beethoven. Cada nota tiene sentido, logra una interpretación totalmente coherente, medida pero a la vez inspirada

[@dougjohnson3299]

You state it all so clearly. Thank you. I admire Claudio Arrau so much and he is deserving of all the praise he receives.

[@Dieppe-piano.2011]

C'est sublime. Merci à Beethoven et à Maestro Claudio, pour cette musique merveilleuse.

[@alvarito45]

Tuve la gran fortuna de escucharle la Apassionata en el teatro Colón de Bogotá. Fue una pianista excepcionalidad con un don musical increible. Bravo Claudio.

[@aliziagur1305]

Maestro Claudio is in my opinion the greatest pianist of all time. I treasure the CD's (14 in all) I have of his concerts And wish I could find more. His playing brings such joy to my everyday and helps when the news is depressing I adore classical music and thank the lord for talents such as Mr. Claudio Arrau.

[@musicstewart9744]

Alizia Gur Even better if you stop paying attention to the news, esp. with an insane man in the White House.

[@dougjohnson3299]

Yes, he brings joy to my life, too!

[@wallyssalas]

We are not machines, calibrated to perfection in timing and intensity. We humans could never be perfect, totally perfect at anything. But there are some human beings who come very close at being at the top stage of perfection, in what they do, in what they practice and dedicate a lifetime to. Well, in my non-musically trained opinion, Maestro Claudio Arrau is one of them. And it takes a full life of continued practice. It takes loving slavery to a craft, to an instrument, to an artistic endeavor. Even an untrained ear in music like mine, can get to understand and appreciate that. My fingers are not physically trained in piano playing, but my mental gage in music appreciation is certainly trained and refined. And I can tell the difference between a concert pianist I understand and enjoy and one I do not. To me, Maestro Claudio Arrau was and is an unequalled master of his art, his trade. He was certainly one of the most dedicated musicians who ever lived. His playing repertoire is probably unmatched; his recordings are legendary and abundant. His followers and fanatical listeners are legions, worldwide. Many, many of us consider him to be the greatest concert pianist of the Twentieth Century. And most likely he was, and still is!

[@coquimbo53]

A genius in all extensions of the word…also he spoke Spanish, English, German, French and Italian…

El mejor??? No es mucho humide.

[@karakorum2007]

Que bueno que lo hallas descubierto, siempre se nos abren estas oportunidades, pero no todos las aprovechan. Este tipo de música y sus cultores no están de moda, no son fashion ni "in"....pero siempre están llenos de significados y mensajes que cada cual recibe a su manera, por eso esta música es universal.

[@dougjohnson3299]

Yes!

[@waetos]

I often sit and wonder how Beethoven would react if he were at this festival (with hearing intact) to listen to someone play all of his sonatas from memory and on a modern instrument. And then, for him to play for us! Arrau is amazing, with the vitality of a much younger man. I can easily listen and watch an artist play all of the Beethoven sonatas in one session, if not for the needs of human nature interrupting! Thank you for uploading this fine series.

[@urbinamdm]

I have had the same feeling/idea. I imagine Beethoven thinking to himself; "not bad, really!"

[@bruhmomenthdr7575]

[@thorstentopp3824]

Je suis d´accord. Il est le plus mieux. Pas seulement à Beethoven, son Chopin , Schumann, Schubert et Debussy (!) est incomparable!

[@eltraductor3736]

By Arrau, the Adagio is painfully beautiful

[@danmaia455]

[@danmaia455]

el traductor Like my coment!

[@carlpalumbo5811]

Superb and sublime. Arrau's affinity for Beethoven has such depth and authority. It's irresistible. No one approaches his rendering of the beautiful second movement.

[@gustavosilvacm8932]

You are on hundred per cent right! Nobody plays this and the Sonata number 32 as well as Arrau!

[@carlpalumbo5811]

I agree with you regarding the Op 111 Sonata also. Arrau is in a class by himself. Once one listens and follows along with the score, it's almost impossible to listen to any other artists.

[@thorstentopp3824]

Under Arrau´s gifted hands an adagio of a young genius becomes a miracle! For me the best interpreter ever.

[@mourgoukos]

So firm and light at the same time. Everytime I hear this man play I think of an elephant swimming or flying. Not many pianist can be recognised so easily without image..

[@CziffraTheThird]

Aha a flying or swimming elephant! A very majestic image! I have always loved Arrau's floppy ears aha

[@wallyssalas]

A very interesting and realistic comment. It's like an ingenuous metaphor. I agree with your assessment.

[@hyramesshiramess1035]

What a treat just to hear this rarely performed sonata - a very great work. Why it's underrated I'll never know. It's technically very demanding on the performer. Maybe that's why players tend to avoid it, who knows? Arrau's performance is splendid -- especially the second movement which he played all the loving care and attention to fine detail and expressive nuance calls for an impish whimsical sense of play and youthful vitality. Wonderful that man in his seventies could capture that impetuous, daredevil spirit so well.

[@Physicks499]

his most intimate piece is piano concerto no 5 beethoven movement 2 its the most maternal and delicate. stuff that makes grown men cry, makes you think what if, if only, how so now. Its apex is overwhelming. talking of the subject of underrated his quasi una fantasia the first one sonata 13 is amazing too but its the other one with the same name (moonlight sonata) that gets praise. good day.

[@misido1]

Hearing and seeing Claudio Arrau touch I can not avoid passing through my mind pictures of your hometown Chillan, he has left something of what was in those years when he lived there. Regarding this sonata, my luck was to record it by chance on a cassette from a station in Santiago "El Conquistador" way back in 1985. It was my companion long nights while I studying Marine Biology in the city Coquimbo; since then that not leaves my mind. Thanks to whoever posted.

[@assindiastignani7087]

Funny how these things all go in epidemics. When I was a student, EVETYONE played this piece. Beethoven op. 1 thru 7 was absolute Pflicht with my teacher. Rather the Liszt Sonate twice in row than Beethoven op.2 No. 3, or op.10 No.3, not even to mention the miserably difficult op. 7. I've been doing this for almost 60 years, and I am convinced: if you can play the Beethoven Sonates, you can play anything. The entire technic of Liszt, Brahms and even Rachmaninov is contained here. But that is just my own personal opinion. Anyone who disagrees...God bless! But please, no nasty comments. P.S. When I was a kid listening to his recitals, I used to think Claudio Arrau was a god. Now I'm convinced, he is God.

[@culturehorse]

+assindiastignani The Chopin Etudes count as equally indispensable for higher comprehensive facility don't you think and would agree with your dictum. Best.

[@assindiastignani4599]

3:58 for the Beethoven we know and love. in his early works he imitated Mozart but you can still hear him shine through.

[@larryprimeau5885]

listen to it a few times and you're going to hear that Beethoven was, even at a young age, far beyond Mozart. the first time you listen to the opus 2 they superficially sound like Mozart but they're not, not even close.

[@karakorum2007]

Con los músicos como Arrau, es posible darse cuenta que ellos mismos son una extensión de su instrumento, o el instrumento es la extensión de ellos. Una fusión total y armónica. Da la impresión que Arrau entra en trance cada que que interpretaba alguna obra. Es un poder de concentración único y transmite paz.

[@gouldbergvariations]

If you put yourself in the piece and give it all you can with soul,no matter what mistakes you may make you will take the audience with you even make the audience breathe in the same rate as you because you will have made them feel like you are feeling up there on the piano. As Arrau has done you see there is no sound whatsoever during his playing..they are mostly all feeling what he is. That it what a great pianist needs to do play like a musician with soul.

[@brianknapp8645]

I am answering Henry Xu from below. Beethoven was a transition composer between the classical and the romantic periods. He did what many transition composers did back then. He sometimes composed music that sounds romantic and sometimes composed music that sounds classical. He even mixed the two styles within a single piece. This piano sonata is a good example. The first movement sounds a lot like Haydn while the second movement sounds romantic: something that Haydn would never have written. People who strictly classify composers of Beethoven's time as only classical or only romantic will more often then not make a mistaken generalization.

[@PlastikGUbilationz]

really cool way of putting it!

[@kinggeorgedental5766]

I wonder what Haydn thought of this new "romantic" music. I believe these first 3 sonatas were dedicated to him. I've heard he didn't like the way Beethoven wrote the dedication to him though.

[@truBador2]

LOL "mistaken generalization."

[@colincrothers4659]

hate to be argumentative but the first movement sounds nothing like Haydn, it is all Beethoven's style, extremes of loud and soft etc

[@brianknapp8645]

colin crothers The main themes that Beethoven used in the first in the first movement are very much in a style that Haydn used. Yes some of Beethoven's developments of the themes are unique to Beethoven's style. No composer wrote music in a vacuum. Beethoven was greatly influenced by other preceding composers such as Haydn, Clementi, and Mozart. Thus we see a strong classical period influence in this sonata.
