Months ago, my father asked me to play this adagio at his funeral. A week ago when the time came, this video was the first result on my search, the first scene hit me so hard, I remembered our walks in the forest when I was younger, and as an avid Deutsche Grammophon collector, most probably he watched this before.

This concerto of Mozart has always been my favorite one. I learned at my father's funeral -- 6 months ago -- it was also his favorite. This concerto was played during his funeral: a Deutsche Grammophon compact disc "Horowitz plays Mozart". ;-) The CD I have always known since my childhood. I did not dare to listen to this concerto anymore. Today, it is the first time since his death. Thank you Helene. What an interpretation!

[@paulchristensen7276]

Sorry for your loss.

[@amanielwolde]

Mozart composed this concert at one of the saddest moments of his life, poor, alone and jobless. You can feel the sorrow and depth of a human being suffering ... Suddenly, there is a last ray of hopeness who brings to life. Extraordinary talent shows when this man,who touched the bottom, could still compose one of the amazing concerts in music history.

[@yaracruz3379]

Não me canso de ouvir esse concerto e executado.pela maravilhosa pianista Helene Grimaud BRAVO!!!

[@petersnell3128]

Arguably, this movement took Mozart into the romantic period of music history. One movement of a piano concerto that serves as a "musical prophesy" that Chopin was certainly going to come someday after Mozart. This movement makes the piano "sing" like a Chopin waltz. It truly displays the musical genius Mozart was.

[@Chishannicon]

Definitley agree. I heard this for the first time today on the radio, not knowing what it was or who composed it. When it ended and the DJ said that it was Mozart, my first thought was "Dang, I knew he was a genius, but I didn't know he was THAT ahead of his time!"

[@gbarthg]

Grimaud and her fellow musicians play this beautifully and romantically, but it's unlikely that Mozart intended the piece to be performed that way. The instrument that he played wasn't capable of expressing the kind of sentiment heard in the video. It doesn't detract from the music at all: it's simply different.

[@yxoxwxaxyexex3800]

@@gbarthg she isnt sitting there to perform how mozart would have wanted that piece to be performed. and this version of the concerto definitely sounds more beautiful than that of say rubinstein or horowitz's interpretation, especially when the orchestra begins. the slower version just gives time for the beautiful noes to resonate throughout the room. and also mozart was the one who said that music is not in the notes but in the silence in between the notes and i certainly believe this version does exactly that. and no offense if you prefer other interpretations over this one, thays completely subjective.

[@c.a.savage5689]

Well said. The musical genius of Mozart never ceases to amaze. To be able to play his music (regardless of the level of proficiency) is to feel, however brief and dimly, the sensibilities of a great composer. It brings tears to my eyes. The utter peace, harmony and perfection of each note is a salve for a sad and sorry world. Even now. Even today.

The closest Mozart gets to pure desolation, stark beauty - it's almost bereft of any hope .... and then just when we are consumed by it when all hope seems lost... a little ray of woodwind sunshine peeks through, before once again he descends into the depths of the sheer, dark, beautiful, hopeless place - and we weep almost uncontrollably. And Helene absolutely gets it, and nails this performance - as does the orchestra....The best interpretation I've heard so far....bravo!

[@jessicadyer684]

This piece is absolutely timeless. One of my favourite pieces. The solo piano intro slow, pensive and delicate reminds me of both longing and heartache and when joined by the strings, horns and woodwinds just blends seamlessly...then slowly almost unexpectedly the middle lifts into playful carefree joy and "laughter" on the flutes...it is a mixture of emotions just how life is. The musicains are next level. They nailed it. Mozarts piano arrangement trancends time. Im sure it influenced Chopin. I also love Debussy and Schubert among many others. Classical music is so calming for the soul and helps me relax as I have anxiety. Ive loved it since my adolescence and am now sharing this timeless music with my own adolescent children. Truly this was their legacy and gift to the world. The very fact that we would be still enjoying and celebrating their work centuries later attests to that❤

[@deutschegrammophon]

thank you for the kind words ❤

[@orazioguanciale4904]

Timeless is the correct adjective. It could have been composed today or tomorrow or three centuries ago. I guess Helene Grimaud 's extra slow pace adds a bit more romanticism to it, but it could be played by other piano virtuosos to the same effect. Mozart's magic in full display

Of his 27 piano concertos, Mozart wrote only 3 slow movements in a minor key; No 9, No 18 and this one. All are beautifully sublime.

Hélène Grimaud and her body language - the range of her conscious gestures and movements - really communicate her feelings and intentions. Literally, she brings us to the place where the souls of the righteous live after death and where they enjoy complete happiness! The Piano Concerto No. 23 in A major K. 488 is a concerto for piano and orchestra written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It was finished, according to Mozart's own catalogue, on March 2, 1786, two months prior to the premiere of his opera, Le nozze di Figaro, and some three weeks prior to the completion of his next piano concerto. It was one of three subscription concerts given that spring and was probably played by Mozart himself at one of these. Specifically, what concerns us on this occasion, the slow Second Movement, -Adagio-, in ternary form, is somewhat operatic in tone. The piano begins alone with a theme in Siciliano rhythm characterized by unusually wide leaps. This is the only movement by Mozart in F♯ minor. The dynamics are soft throughout most of the piece. The middle of the movement contains a brighter section in A major announced by flute and clarinet that Mozart would later use to introduce the trio "Ah! taci ingiusto core!" in his 1787 opera Don Giovanni. -Wikipedia

Each time I listen to this adagio a different dimension of feelings is evoked. That’s why this is a masterpiece.

[@domberta7825]

Why is this interpretation so incredibly emotional? Why does it go to the deepest of our hearts? Why does such a simple melody touch the very bottom of our heart, and our human condition?

[@clairesnibbe1878]

It has entered my soul and I can only surrender to it.

Because of Helene Grimaud, the princely performer

[@marymc4044]

Maybe because this music is a second kind of communication, travelling along an alternative neural network into the part of our brain that appreciates goodness, truth, and beauty. It has the potential to make us fully human. or even super human.

[@ZosimoLee]

As Mozart works through the pathos he experiences, he also enables us to heal ourselves with this deep adagio. Each movement of the soul through the music.

Chaque note de piano tombe comme une goutte de pluie... C'est magnifique !

Enfin un commentaire en français, non que j'aime ou pas les autres. C'est vrai sa musique est comme une aquarelle en mouvement. Avec sa manière d'interprétation c'est comme si elle procurait au note un corps fugace, on en oublie que l'on écoute de la musique elle nous donne un nouveau monde en nous... Et à la fin on s'éveille surpris par ce que l'on à vécu, merci!

What a meditation in beauty and serenity - of her as well as the music. Profound, bringing new shades of meaning of this wonderful work to the surface.

Mozart a démontré que la + belle musique n’a pas besoin d’être compliquée et avec des effets d’esbroufes mais celle qui cherche nos émotions au + profond de notre être

[@denislyannaz6630]

Quelle interprétation remarquable d'une œuvre exceptionnelle! Nous sommes dans un moment de GRACE musicale et d'"émotions: il n'y a plus qu'à fermer nos yeux et écouter: une légèreté, un absolu! Un merci énormissime à Wolfgang Mozart et à Hélène Grimaud pour ces 7 minutes 30 de pur BONHEUR!!!!
