He and I were next door neighbours for seven years. I live 4th floor, he lived in the 2nd. We could often hear him practice in the evening, very softly with his digital piano so not to disturb anybody. Jesus, I would have paid entrance to sit and listen to him practice! :-) - Not only was he a genius musician, but he also was a wonderful person, he loved to laugh, he had no star behaviour at all. We miss you, Lars!

[@PaulVanBladel]

Touching. When I hear him playing, I get the picture, completely.

[@prototropo]

Thank you for sharing that experience. I had a feeling he was a lovable man. I'm still so, so sad.

[@chislehurstbat]

@@prototropo Me too. He was a wonderful musician and also very kind to his fans on Twitter. Such a great loss.

[@alfredotamez7741]

Thanks for the beautiful anecdote. I am not surprised by his gentleness. A huge loss for humanity and the music world. May he rest in peace. The story touches me deeply since I lost my beloved closest bro Roberto to lymphoma as well. I grieved Lars' death because it brought such a flood of memories.

[@maxinewilson9754]

I just found this. The most breathtaking interpretation I’ve ever heard. Rest in peace.

[@danielkim9161]

Very sad that I didn't discover your music until you left this world. Thank you for this. Rest in peace.

[@genis_piano]

Every time I listen to this version I have the feeling that this is the Lars farewell to this world

[@marianador1888]

Magnificent He was completely ill at that time It’s his farewell So moving

[@dulcamarabuffo]

Hearing the the sweet and yet sad elegance of his playing makes one believe that perhaps he played this in his heart when he left us. A warm and wonderful musician, without pretense and full of humanity.

[@lebabies]

This is the finest interpreter of Brahms I have found. Not overwrought, but still so affecting.

[@skyrim7750]

Am I the only one who thinks that this concerto was far more than a piano performance, but a life's lesson?

[@prototropo]

That is a wonderful thing to share.

[@Scriabin_fan]

How is it a life lesson?

[@prototropo]

@@Scriabin_fan I can't say for Skyrim, but while listening to Lars' performance, I was filled with the longing so characteristic of my love of Brahms. He evokes memory and nostalgia, producing a sad, dusky light and autumnal feeling for life, or rather from it. And like Brahms' music, the moments life follows, the level it finds by utter dint of gravity, add up to a wonderful, if painfully alluvial, course, meandering through as many difficult as joyous circumstances. Chief among them here is the realization that Lars knew, while playing what are possibly the most soul-attenuating moments in all of Brahms' works, that he had not long to live, and so not long to cherish the music that made life for him worth living, as it does for many of us. The proximity of life's dénouement brings the fragrance of finality--not sweet, but hopefully sublime--that Brahms always seems to understand. Trying to describe such tender but universal thoughts makes my tears well. I approach Brahms with trepidation these days exactly because he so effortlessly draws forth memories of the many, many dear ones I've lost. And never only those, but all the grieved of all the grieving. It is elegaic music for the civilized, who know well that civilization is a cenotaph.

[@geborenimjuni]

Thank you for putting into beautiful and well articulated words how I feel about this masterpiece of Brahms and Mr. Vogt’s interpretation of it. I frequently come to revisit this sublime video and yet it makes my heart and soul weep.

[@ronaldbeifeld3209]

[@martinstahle2006]

Wow, dieses Stück ist eine musikalische Gratwanderung. Hervorragend ausgedrückt! Es freut mich, dass er in der Wiederholung die Unterstimme mehr hervorhebt wie in der ersten Runde. Genauso habe ich es immer empfunden! Ruhe in Frieden!

[@thaneadpolburapaskul1610]

RIP Lars. I just discovered your playing of this wonderful piece I am working on and it’s breathtakingly beautiful. I will look back into your works and remember you. ❤

[@lynette4519]

I can't stop listening to Lars playing this absolutely superb piece. It's exquisite. I was so lucky to have my piano teacher also play this to me during my lesson this week. What a treat to hear it being played live right next to me. I had to hold back the tears because I find this piece so moving.

Je viens d'apprendre son décès à un si jeune âge !Quelle grande tristesse !😧😦😥🎶🙏❤

[@scholzassociates]

Ich durfte Lars Vogt vor vielen Jahren live erleben. Er spielte das erste Beethoven Klavierkonzert in meiner Geburtsstadt Aschaffenburg (Unterfranken). Begleitet wurde er vom European Chamber Orchestra unter der Leitung von Daniel Harding. An das Jahr kann ich mich nicht mehr erinnern. Es war das erste Mal, dass ich von ihm hörte, sein Name war mir bis dato nicht bekannt. Der Abend blieb mir in Erinnerung bis zum heutigen Tag. Die Energie und die Dynamik, die von beiden-Vogt und Daniel Harding-, ausging, so etwas hatte ich noch nie gehört. Die musikalische Tiefe, die Vogt erreicht mit seinem Spiel, ist, soweit ich das sagen kann, ohne Beispiel. Das, was hinter den Noten ist, bringt er nicht einfach nur zum leuchten, er fügt es auch in der Logik zusammen. Wenn man ihn einmal gehört hat, kann man nicht mehr anders, man hört das Stück immer wieder so, wie er es gespielt hat. Vor vielen Jahren verwendete ich einmal die Formulierung: »Er rückt die Dinge gerade«. Das gilt für mich nach wie vor, gerade wenn ich dieses Brahms Intermezzo in A-Dur höre. Tempo, Dynamik, Phrasierung, Pausen, danach gibt es für mich keine Fragen mehr, nur noch Antworten. Ich vermisse Lars Vogt sehr. Musikalisch ist uns ein ganz, ganz großer Pianist verloren gegangen. Einen wie ihn gibt es sehr, sehr selten. Solange ich lebe, trage ich seinen Klang in meiner Erinnerung mit mir. Ruhe in Frieden.
