O mundo e o Brasil perde um dos maiores mestres do romantismo, o pianista Nelson Freire. Suas interpretações brilhantes, o lirismo, a paixão e um profundo respeito pela obra executada, técnica apurada fizeram Nelson Freire um referência na música pianística romântica nos séculos XX e XXI! Descanse em merecida Paz aquele que não Terra cumpriu sua missão na Arte e na Vida com perfeição!

Como é possível eu tomar conhecimento do falecimento dele ao ler o seu post? Justamente a mais de um ano e meio? Fica na lembrança as inúmeras apresentações dele no Municipal, particularmente com OSB. Nelson era impecável ao piano, extremamente técnico, com abordagens sofisticadas aliada a uma leitura contemporânea, menos lírica! Seu Brahms era notável, seu Chopin aliava um romantismo sofisticado, seu Scriabin sua leitura parecia tentar decifrar os mistérios da alma do compositor. Lamento muito.

Not a single boring momento passed though this performance. Instead there was a continúous flow of lyricism that filled the concert hall to the brim..The nonchalant and totally natural "modus executionis" permeated the hall with an extraordinary sense of peace even in the most dramático moments of the work. Very often this Concertó is performed with an excessive Romanticism that darkens its singing qualities. On this occassion, conductor Toshiro.... beautifully balanced all legati, staccatti and sforzandi, plus managed the most refined intonation possible. Maestro. Freire's execution was of great lyrical yet temperamental value with resonating and sustained chords throughout, a very typical manner of performance by Latín Américas. In short, we have heard a very worth- while performance. Thank you.. FERNANDO RAUDALES NAVARRA

I read somewhere that the opening French Horn notes were a tribute by Brahms to his father, who was a horn player. Apparently the exchange between the piano and the horn at the beginning is a little conversation between father and son. If true, so touching! It is so warm and beautiful. I am not sure if Brahms' father was already dead when this piece was written, but it's almost like his wanted his father's soul to start the concerto, hover over it, and his spirit to run through it; a very touching tribute of a son to his father.

I’m so pleased to have discovered this pianist, and only sorry that even in my long life of 82 yrs of loving Piano Concertos, I’ve never heard of Nelson I’m sad to say. I love Martha Argerich and found a few days ago on youtube a concert they did together a few yrs ago. That was the first I’d heard of him. I spent the 3 weeks (4 weeks ago now), of the Warsaw Chopin Piano Competition watching on youtube every day. Wonderful performances from many young people and 5 superb winners. But oh my., they could learn many lessons from watching Nelson playing! NO histrionics. Barely lifts his head up from looking at the keys except to look at the conductor of course. No pulling faces, no grimacing, no throwing his head back with eyes staring up heavenward (the Italian girl pianist with dark very long hair), no throwing one or even both arms in the air after a magnificent chord, (again the Italian girl). Nelson just gets on with the job magnificently.. How I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this concert just now. Wonderful! I must now find other recordings of him playing. Also Krystian Zimerman I was watching him in his 20s playing Chopin. He won the Warsaw Competition in the 1960s. Oh my…..he jumped up from the piano as he was ending a chord!! His face was still, no grimaces thank goodness, but his arms went all over the place. Just total un-necessary histrionics. Why oh why didn’t teachers and parents tell their young progedies “NO NO NO…..you do NOT do any of that. Just stop it.”

Nelson José Pinto Freire (18 October 1944 - 1 November 2021) was a Brazilian classical pianist. Regarded as one of the leading pianists of his generation, he was noted for his "decorous piano playing" and "interpretive depth".His extensive discography for labels such as Sony Classical, Teldec, Philips, and Decca has garnered awards including the Gramophone Award and Diapason d'Or. Freire appeared as soloist with the world's most prestigious orchestras, including the Berlin Philharmonic, the London Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and the New York Philharmonic. He played and recorded piano duo music with Martha Argerich, a long-time musical and personal friend.

Parece-me injusta a crítica de Antonio Lopes ao nosso grande e querido pianista Nelson Freire, que tocou Brahms brilhantemente, apesar de fatores que influenciam a interpretação durante uma apresentação ao vivo. O músico tem seus dias melhores e seus dias não tão bons. Há a questão da orquestra, às vezes em menor consonância com os sentimentos do solista. Talvez com outra orquestra o resultado tivesse sido diferente, talvez mais arrebatador, não se sabe. Acontece com todos os pianistas e músicos em geral. Asiáticos sentem a música diferentemente de europeus, povos têm, cada um, sua alma...A platéia também influencia a interpretação no momento mesmo do concerto. Tantos fatores a considerar! Mas, o que nao se pode negar é que o trabalho da orquestra e do solista foi magnífico. E Nelson merece sempre a nossa admiração e respeito por sua vida artística. Maravilhoso sempre. Na minha visão, nunca menos que perfeito...

@Edmea RAMOS DA SILVA : You have written something really interesting: “Asians feel music differently than Europeans…” I find it impossible to agree with this. Music is a deeply common language. Ethnicity plays no part in how we feel about music. To say that it does play a part seems to smack of genetics, and that is definitely a no-no. The human heart is the human heart, no matter if I come from Vietnam and you come from Australia and John Smith from China. How else can we explain that Japanese choirs and orchestras present us with the best Bach performances in the world? Michiko Uchida some of the best Mozart and Schubert ever? Young Japanese and Chinese pianists the greatest performances at the Chopin International competition? I could continue for pages about this. Please, do think it through again?

For all his amazing technical facility even at this age, how can Senhor Freire resist even the passion and lyricism of my favorite concerto and present to the public, as always, a mere playing or reading (albeit a perfectly accurate one) of the score of such music? Like Backhaus and Pollini, Sr. Freire gives us all the notes with almost all of the expression marks in the score, but nothing more. What's the point, at least for those who know the work and are able to read the score? Such automatonic playing amazes and saddens me. If at least it were Bach or Mozart... Sorry, fans of Sr. Nelson, but try to point out exactly when and how is he interpreting the music in the performative/expressive sense. The over the top "rubato players" (as the hypermetronomic Toscanini called many of his most inspiring colleagues) are said to exaggerate expression. But the same must be true of its direct contrary. And at least, the former have to use their musical imagination, while the latter just have to follow the score (this is supposed to be what Ravel and Stravinsky wanted, but not only are they the exceptions, but at least the second, famously, is known not to follow his own rule when performing or making different recordings of the same work of his). Brahms himself said he, as a performer, was always changing and adjusting the tempo, and resisted giving metronome markings for his works as strongly as he could, saying that his heart could not be in agreement with a mechanical device. Not that this is decisive forever and all, but what more can one say, when the music cries for fire and passion and... well, ROMANTICISM?

Brahms is best performed with "romanticism" in moderation...... I call it "elegant lyricism"..... Brahms that is "over-romanticized" ends up losing the unique refinement of this composer...... This is why many consider Rudolf Serkin as one of the best examples in the Brahms concertos. I believe Freire was excellent in this performance. I would have called it "phenomenal" if the last movement didn't get a little sloppy.

@@Music2Die4 I'm confused by what you say. What could be meant by performing the 2nd mov. of this, or the 1st mov of concerto nº1, or the coda of 4th Symphony I or IV, or the 6th of the Requiem, or the middle section of intermezzo op. 118 nº6 with "elegant lyricism"....? It's plainly contradictory. How can viscerally dramatic music (by any composer) be played with elegance? And "dramatic" is opposed to "lyrical". You have to play dramatic passages with drama and lyrical ones with lyricism, what else? The options are on a spectrum from just playing what's marked in the score, which is called literalism, to varying (at will or reflectedly) every parameter incessantly and to a maximum degree. This end of the spectrum isn't even a true possibility, but something close to the other end is. This performance is an example of the latter. That's all. I don't like it, but that's not my point. My point, as I said clearly in my comment, is: what's the use for all who know this most popular work, can read a score and are acquainted with the myriad nuances possible in its performance by having listened to many different ones? "I believe Freire was excellent in this performance. I would have called it "phenomenal". In a blind test, are you sure you would be able to identify, say, the first pages of the 2nd mov. among 3 or 4 other literalist readings I would select and play for you, and explain why you think each was good, phenomenal, poor, or whatever? THAT is the real acid test, which so-called music critics run away from as if it were Hell itself (true story(ies)).
