Claudio Arrau plays Sonetto del Petrarca 104

from a documentary where Arrau talks about his teacher Krause, and then here tells what Krause told him about Liszt (Krause was a student of Liszt).

[@Ray0X0]

What a beautiful piece of art played by maestro Arrau, really.

[@berlinzerberus]

soooo beautiful played the petrarca sonetto by mr.arrau. in the same broadcasting he also said that he used to develop further what liszt taught. he mentioned the persistant connection of hands and brain with the soul. these insightful thoughts of arrau become very clear listening to this liszt interpretation. he was so great,yes,indeed...

[@giovannithema]

Superba interpretazione di uno dei più grandi pianisti del mondo.

[@Ray0X0]

A magical moment of inspiration of maestro Arrau... simply the most beautiful Petrarca ever...

[@megevandaurore]

quelle émotion

[@CarmenReyes-em9np]

Me fascina. ❤Mexico. ..🇲🇽.

[@majark4]

Increible...

[@NEFESHI]

Arrau hace que se me ponga la piel de gallina. Qué grande que fue! Que bellísima interpretación del sonetto del petrarca 104. Gracias !

Desde niña me lo mostro mi maestro de piano PENINSULA DE YUCatan

[@enak1989]

ningun pianista logra sacarle un sonido tan pleno y conmovedor al piano como arrau ,. realmente un genio , como pocos sobretodo para mi gusto interpretando a debussy .. es un maestro . sobre todo por q siempre toco como quiso .. ..

[@juansanchezsanhueza6612]

Fué la inspiración del propio Maestro Linz, en las Manos magistral de Claudio Arrau, un Chileno. Viva Chile.

[@brunectus]

Respect for the original score, precision and feeling. This version is absolute

[@uhartchristian]

it was Alfred Cortot and Arthur Rubinstein who gave him the first prize in Geneve competition:::: Arrau was the last romantic. His deep understanding of music and his close contact with the piano makes him unique. He never went for sensation but for the essential. His direct contact through Krause with Liszt make his interpretations close to the composers Liszt and Beethoven, as Liszt studied with a pupil of Beethoven.... Krause heard Liszt playing Beethoven.....

[@jacquelinevargas9598]

Precioso. Que suavidad y elegancia al tocar. Grande maestro Arrau.

[@tokyoboywonder]

An elderly professor at my school was a student's of Arrau, lucky chap had a 'pedagogical lineage' dating back to Beethoven, Thank you for uploading this. It's a wonderful, sensitive, human interpretation of a piece that's often marred by cold firewords or a maudlin tone. Arrau ftw.

[@301250]

When I first heard this piece by this great Chilean pianist on a vinyl recording I was totally enraptured by the tonal beauty of his playing. sd goh(malaysia)

[@DPPurdue]

I cried like a baby when I first heard this, sobbed like a girl, can't explain why, good thing I was alone at the time.

[@wallyssalas]

(Krause discovered immediately that young Claudio was especially brainly wired for great future achievements). The musical wiring of this Master's brain, with millions of connections running all the way to his hands, to the tip of his fingers. And so, delivering the purity, the quality of his interpretations, with the Arrau special, magic touch. A touch polished by endless practice, thousands of hours of dedicated application. The kind of love and sacrifice through an entire lifetime that makes a human being a Master of his or her musical trade, the art that he prepares and delivers for us, the lucky listeners. We owe you the pleasure of your art, Mr Arrau, forever.

[@54spiritedwill54]

he's great!!! That was impressive...suono magnifico...

[@chilenozzz]

Es increíble este intérprete, como también es demasiada la diferencia entre esta interpretación y la de Horowitz. Es algo que va más allá de la técnica y la habilidad, es algo que tiene que ver con los sentimientos. Arrau era un artista desde lo más profundo de su alma.

[@Ray0X0]

Cómo se te extraña querido maestro... ;(

[@arturon111]

his music is both elegant, passionate, heroic, and powerfull and must be played like that

[@lamsalgado]

You are absolutely right! I have some friends who dislike some composers, but "accept" , even like! these composers when they hear Arrau's recordings of them. Silly it may be, but pretty much makes your point about Arrau! Genius...Congratulations!

[@bodins2704]

Magnificent performance!

[@arturon111]

Arrau when young played with greater speed and color, perhaps? but i disagree with you 100%, Arrau was NEVER stiff when playing, if at all he was the most relaxed pianist when he played even the most difficult pieces. In old age Arrau was more preocupied with singing at the piano depth of tone and interpretation, and his recordings are a testimony. He had a weight techique which allowed him to play anything at any speed and any volume, effortless, this technique gets better with time/age

[@301250]

Arrau's playing had the sonority that few cld produced and he as one of the few unequalled in Lizst.

[@lopezbon513]

Masterful!

[@emilythompson7081]

Este canción me hace feliz. Qué lindo

[@CarlosOviedomusic]

AMAZING!

[@hatem52]

Thank you very much, twotea22! it's always marvellous to hear (and see) claudio arrau.

[@RebekahL16]

Got the shivers, amazing :)

[@uhartchristian]

yes arrau dod get the modern technique of playing the piano from the liszt pupil Krause. the late Beethoven Chopin Liszt Schumann did push the piano technique and piano possibilities to new limits. Arraungot this heritage. And adopted it very well , better than most other pianists of his time. I only heard the late arrau live in concerts , sometimes great sometimes ill.His Beethovensonatarecital in Vienna was a miracle of inspiration and profound deep research of the meaning. Convincing

[@danielito1979]

Listen to the last Beethoven sonatas by Arrau 109, 110, 111. By far my favorite recordings of Beethoven Music

[@frncgrc]

suono magnifico...

[@FiliusDeiPatris]

Esta sonata me borra del mapa... estoy como en otro lugar, solo y pensando en los asuntos más íntimos de mi vida y existencia .

Cada quien tiene su temperamento. 🎶🎶🌹😘

[@chilenozzz]

master!

[@CarmenReyes-em9np]

Favor de NO comparar.

[@JamesVaughan]

I sometimes prefer Arrau's more restrained approach to Liszt over Horowitz's, who tended to emphasize Liszt's showiness and theatricality (which certainly wasn't always out of place in Liszt!) Though I will say anyone who wants to hear fabulous Liszt playing should track down Horowitz's blazing 1932 account of the Sonata (though Arrau's very different approach to the piece, recorded about 1970 is marvellous).

[@twotea22]

yes, of course, i recorded it several years ago from ARTE-TV. Probably the best channel in Europe when it comes to culture & history. I have now a massive collection of documentaries that i'm trying to copy to dvd now. At this very moment, i also want to point out that i'm trying to post only those clips on KZbin which aren't available commercialy and which probably aren't broadcasted commonly.

[@Ray0X0]

I prefer this one... far.

[@siclonrevistas7376]

[@137uc14]

Liszt debió haber sido un pianista insuperable...cuanto buen gusto en su música...!!!

[@CarmenReyes-em9np]

Inmensi 🌹

[@chilenozzz]

Si miramos la historia y vemos los grandes genios que han cambiado el curso de la humanidad, ellos siempre han hecho lo que creen es lo correcto, sin hacer de las enseñanzas de sus maestros una pauta rígida a seguir. En el fondo, los genios son reveldes, pero con causa.

[@lubugy]

que gran pianista fue CLAUDIO ARRAU!!! uno de mis pianistas favoritos, tambien toco piano y el es un ajemplo a intentar alcanzar. Horowitz tambien fue un gran pianista, pero me quedo con ARRAU solo por que soy chileno jjajajajaja GRANDE ARRAU!!!

[@CarmenReyes-em9np]

Alta dificultad. . 🙏🗣️

Only 2 minuts sound! Please try to upload again!! Beautiful!

[@tigerkillslion]

[@freemepleaseful]

Arrau is great! (2:18-19 two out-tuned chord)

[@Shadows_Lights]

never clicked on a video so fast after seeing

[@twotea22]

Guys, i don't know what's the problem with your computers? The sound is there until the very last note! I check my clips before & after i upload (in MP4, IPod compatible format) them and now i also checked this clip on 3 different computers with from a highly sophisticated soundcard to a sound-on-board and in 3 different places (internet-providers) ... no problem whatsoever .... i'm sorry!!!

[@dzanc]

Is there this video with english audio only? I can't understand a single word.

[@cynic150]

Horowitz plays this more brilliantly and flashyly, but Arrau's performance is more intimate and deeply felt, I think.

From 3:39 to 3:46 pure refined beauty...

[@Ray0X0]

Could the interview be made in one of his houses (Douglaston or Vermont)...??

[@CarmenReyes-em9np]

Soneto. 104.

[@Ray0X0]

I want to know the same... I don't know, may be who posted the interview had more material about Arrau...

[@aWirelessPiano]

Anyone know where I can find this Documentary in without the Voiceovers?

[@rafjuven]

alguien sabe donde puedo encontrar esta conversacion en español?

[@carmenreyes6222]

La exelencia ARRAU Y HOROWITS AMBOS SON EXELENTISIMOS .

[@eelskinwallet]

could you please tell me how you got this documentary video??

[@twotea22]

??? maybe your speakers weren't "on" or maybe your pc doesn't have a sound card & speakers but the sound is perfectly there ;-)

[@Martel211996]

What version or score is he using for this?

[@katkula]

Perhaps Arrau plays this piece better and more "correct" in some way than Horowitz but for some strange reason I wasn't captivated with this performance all the time as I did with Horowitz... I play this piece too...

[@Ray0X0]

Arrau interview > watch?v=XVer24d_QUw (in english).

[@Ray0X0]

@sprund2009 The recording is part of an interview, is just a complement on it, is just a documentary not a musical recording session, even so the profoundity and beauty of the performance is evident. Your opinion is full of passion but not unbiased thoughts. I suggest to you to read expert critics to have a balanced point of view.

[@ileonardog]

Escuchen al Emperador

[@arturon111]

it is exactlyh the opposite, horowitz ALL his life played very stiff, and rigid, while Rubinstein and Arrau, played with flexibility and depth of tone ( more Arrau than Rubinstein) but both sang at the piano

[@OverFjell]

Yeah, the French guy speaking, Arrau is speaking in English.

[@OverFjell]

I agree, I want to listen to Arrau's words, not some translator!

[@principecalaf]

I'd love to hear Pletnev play this sonetto

[@Ray0X0]

But their styles were so different... comparing same work ... both artists sound different. Arrau sounds more sensitive and emotional than Horowitz. Course I prefer Arrau due these reasons. Petrarca by Horowitz in : watch?v=JdNNPcctrJY&feature=related

[@arturon111]

I disagree with you compettly, Arraus technique was superior to horowotiz, in the sense that what ever speed (tempo) and volume he played was completly relaxed, whereaes horowtiz was always tense and rigid, nothing is what it looks like, FYI- both chopin and liszt require in their playing great delicacy and finesse and great power and passion,... the fact that chopin was physically ill and weak at the end of his life does not mean that his spirit was,

[@davidgray2]

It's bloody annoying that German dubbing so loudly over the English.

[@OrienLeePiano]

lol why so angry? I'll listen to what I please. Is that alright with you? :p

[@cziffra1980]

Arrau was no romantic. He was among the first of the moderns- and had a totally anti-romantic pedantic attitude to the score. Cherkassky was arguably the last of those in the romantic tradition.

[@OrienLeePiano]

meh I prefer Horowitz's interp
