Claudio Arrau Beethoven "Appassionata" (Full)

[@MetroDuroc]

Arrau, total commitment to art. Zero vanity.

[@wallyssalas]

Claudio Arrau, my favorite interpreter of Beethoven. A Chilean diamond of the piano. Respected and appreciated by the German public his entire life. The pride of musical Chile, highly regarded by the entire world of music lovers. Yet, a very humble man, never an arrogant showoff taking advantage of his fame, his reputation. Indeed, the greatest interpreter of classical piano compositions of the 20th Century. I stand by these, my opinions.

[@alvarito45]

I have the absolutely incredible privilege of having listened Maestro Arrau playing this sonata at Teatro Colón, Bogotá, Colombia in 1962. The rest of the program was also Beethoven. And he closed the recital with an "Appasionata" which made a explosión of applause and "Bravos" to madness. I remember as if it had been yesterday. Again : BRAVISSIMO MAESTRO ARRAU!!!

[@ItsNotaTuhmah]

The one thing I like about this performance is how humble it is. Arrau is not trying to impress anyone, he's just playing his heart out on a piece that he knows way too well. It's like he is playing the piece for his master, like if he returned to his childhood. The emotion he puts on the playing is more than enough to be considered among the greatest ever. His renditions of Liszt, Chopin and Beethoven are all full of emotion and deep understanding.

[@cme1447]

[@emharber562]

I absolutely agree with your thoughts on this. Sensitivity is key. You can be technically perfect but without sensitivity it becomes just another piece of music.

[@fallenangel5268]

Well not really.. You can be as sensitive as you want in the end you are playing a piece of music that you simply don't understand. I'm a beginner with the piano but I have been having thoughts of investing all my time into this to become very good at playing for example Beethovens pieces but then lately I started watching all of these great pianists and I started to realise that all of them are someone who tried to play Beethovens or Chopins or Mozart pieces very well and did succeed in doing it but once we dig even deeper we start to realise that some of these pieces are very personal and more complicated than just a feeling or perfect technique while raising the eyebrows for that perfect feeling. For example take Beethoven, do some of these pianists even know what he was going through? Fine, they maybe have went though similar situations in their personal lifes but lets be real we can dig even deeper once we come to a point where you simply cant imitate or re-create these feelings. All in all, do we want to become pianists and live trying to imitate our whole life? Live of Beethovens, Chopins or Mozarts works? This does tell quite alot about the pianist himself in my opinion. I bet that Beethovens, Chopin or Mozart could play eachothers pieces for fun but I don't think that they would try to imitate so hard and try to create these feelings that they simply didnt feel. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bobGY6mqn5yprNU - Here you have an example from a movie that I think can be transfered to the pianists all over the world, 0:40 Liszt is trying to understand the piece while playing Etude no 12 op 10 Etude Revolutionnaire while Chopin is watching. Now Chopin knows the story and he gets emotional because who wouldn't, Liszt does play it good. But does Liszt understand what Chopin went though? Answer is quite simple, no. Call me mad but I love the piano, I love classical music and I would more than anything want to be able to play all of the big pieces instead of only listening to them on my phone but for me personally I fell in love with the piano because my pathetic life led me into a corner where I feel like I want to express what I feel, the anger, the anxiety, the feelings that I cant scream out because everyone would call me mad and not understand and that are so sweet at the same time yet bloody. I want to show people feelings that are insanely strong and I want to show people that Beethoven, Chopin and Mozart are not the only ones who can create these emotions. I want to show people that living our life in a different way that everyone wants us to live is not wrong. I want to show people that they cannot understand my work and that they never will because they will never get the chance to live the pathetic life of mine. I want to scream for all the people that are having a hard time. I want to scream for all the people that are crying loudly inside, screaming. I want to show people that to be a Legend is not to be an imitator. I want to show people that what they actually want to become, this legend is the opposite, its hell and darkness. I want to compose and I know that it will become just as good or even better than these pieces. Life has already proven to me that I'm capable of doing it. Now the question is, how long time will it take before I can dedicate myself to this and give up the rest of my life. It's been one year already since I started thinking about this but I'm still scared.

[@asdfasdf-gm5uk]

@@fallenangel5268 Ok, but just passion is not nearly enough to play those pieces or to compose. One must be dedicated to work every day for hours on end. There are times when it gets really hard and you just have enough of everything no mater how much passion you have. And I really doubt that someone will compose as good as Beethoven again... It just seems impossible. There are many factors to it. One is that Beethoven was really one of a kind, a revolutionary, creative genius. He has done what no one has done ever before him. And it all came from his hearth and not because he wanted to compose differently. Another reason is that todays world just sucks and very few paople care about music... Because all that shit that exists nowdays is not music, its something very nasty. And i really think that people can understand music and interpret it succesfully without really going through what composer has gone through. I say that because no one really knows what Beethoven felt while composing and no one will, and because i am a pianist so music, is something i deal every day with... Actually I live with it... And it cant be torn avay from me, even if something really bad strikes me... I actally agree that 20th century pianists were much better, and that the way they played was mutch more creative and sensitive than it is nowdays. Because they cared for the sound and music mutch more. Today 90% of pianists just polish the technique and then they just press the keys without really knowing what music really is...

[@AriannaAyers]

With his mother’s death in 1959, his piano style changed both in tempi and interpretation; further open to the details of each musical phrase, he lingered longer, allowing the listener to expansively open the musicality and emotion of each piece. Never boastful, technically a virtuoso since age 4, he began to read music before words, and by age 6 performed in front of Chilean governmental and congressional officials, who so inspired by his technique, one describing seeing the child perform, as the opening of the gates of Divinity, promptly sent him to Germany to study music for 10 years. Upon his mentor’s passing, he never took another formal lesson.

He was with the FBI, assigned to Uruguay and Argentina to keep track of Nazi activities in both neutral countries. I have all the letters that he wrote my future mother. In a letter dated April 24, 1942, he recounts that he took some time off and saw a performance by Claudio Arrau. He played 5 sonatas in 2 hours. In his words, "punished" the keys. I decided to google Arrau, and came upon this. Your words ring true, with a 77 year old testimony.

[@youtubeepicuser4209]

Never heard of this guy. Pretty sure justin bieber and katy perry will be remembered over him... After all, they produce original music. What a stupid fucking comment

[@erwinschrodinger2546]

@@youtubeepicuser4209 It's really hard to know about such things. With respect to "content", the bulk of content is pretty much throw-away stuff and it has virtually always been so. So original content is not likely to add much staying power. Even for classical music that's true. Most music produced in the "classical era" is no longer played. But there is a certain body of it that is still played and highly revered. That content, having lasted so long, will probably continue until humankind fundamentally changes (which may be coming sooner than I think). Most American music from the late 1800's through the 20th century is already virtually forgotten, but---again---some is not. It's hard to tell. In the 1920's people probably thought that the Charleston would be hot forever. It's still known and studied by some but no one has revived it. On the other hand, "Tea for Two" lives on. Today's pop, rock, rap, etc. undoubtedly contains many gems that will go on for a long time. The trick is to figure out which ones (if you care about that). I'd put some money on Adele and John Legend being remembered for quite a while. Justin Bieber might be as well. Wikipedia lists 70 musical compositions for him, so there's a pretty good chance that a few of them might stick around. But remember Steve Allen. I bet you don't. I bet you never (or barely) heard of him. He was a huge star in his day. He was the original host of the Tonight Show. He originated routines and memes on that show that today's stars like Jimmy Fallon are still doing. He wrote about 8,500 original songs. A significant percentage were popular for a while. Some were performed by such people as Lewis Armstrong, Nat King Cole, and Bing Crosby. He wrote about 50 books, many on serious political and scientific subjects. He had his own TV show, the Steve Allen show on which he introduced such stars as Aretha Franklin before hardly anybody had heard of them. And now he's pretty much forgotten by the current generations. On the other hand, Bob Dylan, who had a much lower output, was awarded the Nobel Prize. I thought Dylan was very talented but I never liked him all that much. So what do I know? As for Claudio Arrau, he was an outstanding classical performer. Modern technology will preserve his works for a long time. He frequently makes "top ten" lists for greatest pianist of all time. Arrau and Bieber will probably both do OK. Maybe Katy Perry will too, but I know little about her.

[@youtubeepicuser4209]

@@erwinschrodinger2546 my main point will be that justin bieber is a superstar, and this Arrau wasn't (isn't?). Don't get me wrong, I love classical music, I'm a classical pianist myself, about halfway into this piece as a matter of fact. I appreciate both what Arrau has played and what Bieber creates. But you must agree -- you seem pretty bright and fair -- that the original comment's point doesn't come from some logic or reasoning about the performers, rather OP's personal opinion about them. He's just another scummy music elitist.

[@ximenagonzalez325]

Es un pianista extraordinario con una tecnica depurada y natural.Pero lo mas importante es la riqueza y profundidad de su interpretacion, lo que denotaque conoce a cabalidad el estilo y epoca en que se compuso cada obra.Esun estudioso del contexto historico y del momento en que fueron esctita las obras , eso le da una profundidad a sus interpretaciones .Y su sonido es maravilloso.Gracias Claudio Arrau por haber entregado tu arte , y con tanta humildad. Estas sin duda dentro de los mas grande y eres nuestro chileno.

De hecho fue tanto lo que quiso conocer la obra de Beethoven que viajo hasta Alemania para conocer su hogar y leer sus manuscritos y sus impresiones mas intimas, sus tristesas, sus anhelos.

[@juliancasablancas3367]

Justo había estado pensando y escribiendo que un músico debe conocer su contexto histórico, si quiere componer; ahora veo que esto se extrapola a la interpretación. Qué gran comentario y también qué gran intérprete Claudio Arrau. Me enorgullece. Saludos!

Marstro Arrau and Richter always spoke so heartily with their sounds. This a sublime masterful performance which I don't think has been superseded on film. He live on forever.

The second movement of this sonata is just beautiful...

[@raffaeletestolin3647]

It is so sympathetic that it is like he has composed the sonata by himself. He touches your heart. Great Arrau!

[@obriainpianosartgallery8159]

Arrau is one of the greatest, like Gould, he does Beethoven justice.

[@stephenhunt8756]

How wonderful to hear a performance of this work that is really PASSIONATE...not simply loud and fast. His final movement was even better - it was loud, very fast and passionate all at the same time. Claudio, you remain one of the greats. Thanks to Farookhq17 for this beauty.

El piano, Beethoven y Arrau, fundidos en un solo ser, representan la maravillosa capacidad de la humanidad, desde su origen, para capturar y compartir la Belleza que existe en el universo. Esre don, que para algunos es Dios manifestamdose en el mundo, es un misterio, pues ven en la mùsica la mas valiosa, o, virtuosa, de las artes, incluso por sobre la poesìa, ya que no haay palabras que nos permitan nos lleven a su esencia. Arrau fue regalo precioso, de eaquellos que no llegan ni se "crean" con fecuecia a la humanidad. Aunque soy chileno, no puedo ni quiero afirmar si es el mejor piaista del s xx, o quejarme porque en nuestros dias no hayan algunos como èl. No es justo para los artistas de ayer y hioy. Que fue uno de los maximos interpretes no cave la menor duda, y lo mejor es agradecer por su existencia, junto a todos los creadores que el Aete y las Musas, han brindado para goce del espiritu humano.

[@migueljoaoborro2246]

Claudio Arrau fue, sin lugar a dudas, el más grande pianista que ha tenido nuestra humanidad. El hecho de haber sido chileno de nacimiento, hace que todos sus compatriotas no sólo lo hayan admirado sino que, a través de su música, nos ha dejado un legado imperecedero, razón por la que vivirá siempre entre nosotros, muy especialmente cuando interpreta a Beethoven, el más grade entre todos los grandes.

No puedo darle la razón al usted decir que fue el más grande pianista de la humanidad, pero si poría concordar con usted al decir que fue el más grande su epoca o generación. Creo que de eso poca duda me quedaría. Grandísimo el maestro Arrau.
