Leif Ove Andsnes "A Beethoven Journey" EPK

An In-depth focus on Beethoven's Piano Concertos with Leif Ove Andsnes
By Phil Grabsky, Seventh Art Productions

To listen to Beethoven performed by Leif Ove Andsnes is something almost divine. It is difficult to distinguish the composer, the music, and the musician..., it becomes just beauty and perfection....

[@denfinch8042]

Wagner, perfectly put. What an emotional documentary. We all know what poor Beethoven suffered, but to hear it put so passionately by a masterful, sublime pianist is so moving. Leif is such a lovely guy.

True and Love

[@debussychopin2766]

Absolutely correct. I'm a student of beethoven sonatas and I find always there is an enduring/ struggling /trying again/doubt/anger/ urgency/ overcoming spirit in his music. It never comes across as him expounding onto us as a want or need of attention of this from us (like chopin's music can be ). But more like he is expressing himself in music just to himself and we come across this expression as an incidental. If that makes any sense. And no, never ever he expresses self pity.

[@wotan10950]

I’ve seen several of the great pianists onstage playing this concerto. It’s impossible to seriously compare them. The truly great artists like Andsnes all bring something brilliant to the performance.

[@JOlsson01]

The piano sounds absolutely amazing.

[@ilmaestro6582]

So saytisfying to watch and hear him playing Beethoven. Just imagine how satisfying it is to even play these pieces with an orchestra ! Transcendental

[@dibble419]

Wonderful music. Wonderful pianist.

[@thethikboy]

The word beautiful cannot cover Beethoven's Adagio - It's the music of the Adagio that defines the word. Its profound sadness combined with mystical sweetness - has nothing to compare with it.

[@laurencejames8108]

Absolutely wonderful ...share with as many as you can would be my first instinct....

[@Ceca116]

the most beautiful ever!

[@musicianloniath7529]

You're a brilliant pianist!

[@Mms328]

One of my favourite pieces, performed beautifully ❤️ What a great talent. Hopefully the day comes soon we can enjoy it live again.

[@Patsi220]

Truly Amazing!

[@juliolazarte3123]

¡¡Es el mejor artista actualmente a nivel mundial!!

[@slobo1987]

Imagine they find Beethovens 6 th. piano concerto hidden in his tomb. How incredible would'nt that be? The same goes for Chopin!!! If only the masters had composed even more divine works, what a better world it would have been.

[@schotext]

In fact there is a "6th pianoconcerto", Ludwig's own transcription of his violinconcerto....

Never self-pity but always pleading to Heaven on the behalf of mankind.

[@mmckenna7068]

Bravo

[@PaulJones-oj4kr]

Serkin sets the standard, especially in the second movement where he uses the pedal so atmospherically. Andsnes is, however, very very fine, albeit a bit straight-laced.

[@TaeminChung]

Amazing

[@gunnarlysemose2744]

En skøn optagelse med Leif Ove Andsnes

[@subplantant]

That bit at 1:55 where they synch the sound so that it looks kinda like the piano is reversed and his left hand is playing the RH part...

[@alanbiermannruz9309]

04:15 what is this!... please let me know

[@ksurovov]

[@lsbrother]

Never really understood the pianist/conductor role. If the orchestra don't need a conductor when he's playing why would they need one when he's not?!

[@wotan10950]

lsbrother Because the soloist needs to set the tempo and let the instrumentalists know when he or she will be entering the musical structure. The soloist doesn’t always agree with a conductor, and in chamber orchestras it’s probably not necessary, but it helps to keep the soloist and orchestra on the same wavelength.

[@curtisgrindahl446]

What you see is a performance that is the product of hours of rehearsals in which the conductor defines how the piece will be performed... exploring what he or she has come to from studying the score. It isn't about waving your arm in from of the orchestra...

[@baldrbraa]

This is the far end of what is usually possible without a separate conductor. The musicians know this music in their bones, it’s Beethoven. It’s still fairly regular and classical. Lastly, the ensemble is not too big.
