While everyone is lauding praise over Lang Lang and Yuja Wang's super human technique which are no doubt great celebrity pianists here we have probably the greatest living pianist of them all. He has everything, a probing intellect in to the mind of the composer, phenomenal technique, a beautiful tone and poetic mastery to match. He can turn to any the great composers and bring a performance of immense depth and vision to it. A fantastic performance and much praise must be given to the Conductor and Orchestra too.

[@shin-i-chikozima]

Andsnes’ performance is unrivaled by any other performances

[@peterdarby1445]

Brilliant, moving, powerful. It is wonderful that one of the finest works of a Norwegian composer is performed so well by a Norwegian orchestra and soloist.

[@borgerborgersen372]

This piano concerto was played in the Grieg Hall in Bergen by the Bergen Philharmonic orchestra with Leif Ove Andness as piano soloist and Ole Kristian Ruud as conductor. Edvard Grieg was born and lived in Bergen. He was the chief conductor of the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra from 1880-1882. So this orchestra is in a way his orchestra. The performance was held in the Grieg Hall in Bergen named after Grieg. Andnes is from Karmøy not far from Bergen and currently lives in Bergen. His wife is playing in the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra. The conductor Ole Kristian Ruud has conducted many Grieg pieces and won several prized for these performances. So you can't get anything closer to Grieg himself than this performance. I think it helps a bit being Norwegian when performing a national treasure like Grieg's piano concerto. Most Norwegian classical musicians have a special relation to Grieg.

[@keeleywickham]

Never liked Grieg much … no idea why, and here I am discovering him aged 50! Incredible … the second movement gets me every time. He wrote it in Denmark interestingly, aged 24!!! Just married and a new dad. Love love love it.

[@Qumak13]

This all-Norwegian rendition of this magnificent concert by Grieg made me want to listen to it live somewhere in Norway! Beautiful performance by both the pianist and the orchestra! It is powerful, lyrical and overwhelming with beauty! 😍

[@haraldbjthunem4059]

E Grieg wrote this beautiful concerto in a summer holiday in Denmark , some 25 years old (1865) Some holiday!

[@brunerwalt]

This is a brilliant world class performance by both an extremely fine pianist and a first class orchestra and conductor! I am so impressed by the refined and elegant performance approach taken here to a very demanding concerto. This whole performance is a very polished and musical performance of Grieg's composition! What a professional team of musicians to perform with a truly great pianist who so masterfully approaches this whole concerto! I hope more listeners find this fabulous performance and leave comments it is so deserving of!!

[@adeemuff]

I've been lucky to enjoy this pianist perform this very concerto at Amsterdam Concertgebouw one day. This recording reminds me of how heavenly that was! Thanks for sharing!

[@curtisgrindahl446]

Thank you for sharing this stunning performance. It brought tears to my eyes. I'm watching an interview with Leif recently recorded and he speaks of preparing the Grieg Piano Concerto which he hadn't performed in ten years... this may be the performance he was referring to... in his home country playing this gorgeous piece composed by a fellow countryman. I'm not from that country though all my ancestors were. Perhaps that is why this piece has always moved me so deeply. This performance is brilliant. I've also been becoming familiar with this orchestra from a relatively small city in Norway. They deliver wonderful performances I've been enjoying on KZbin during the pandemic. Check them out folks, under the direction of Edward Gardner.

[@TerjeMathisen]

"Relatively small city in Norway"? Bergen is the second-largest city in the country, so even though it is a relatively small city globally, here in Norway it is one of the largest ones, only beaten by the capitol Oslo. 🙂

[@duanerackham9567]

Heard this while playing CIV 5. Was never into classical music, but the music swell while playing a game, the piano going while I ate cinnamon toast crunch, violins as the sunlight came into the room. That moment moved me like no other and stays with me as a reminder of a calm during young adulthood.

[@paulgreen6921]

I remember hearing the introduction of this masterpiece during TV ad soundtracks. All I remember is the piano entrance and it’s striking brilliance. Now I know it as a glorious staple of the repertory and rightly so. This pianist really digs into it’s poetic breath and depths. Ole Grieg produced a “sure fire winner” of a thoroughfare warhorse. PWG. P.S. The pianist makes the middle movement sound like the softly bucolic rocking chair of cerebral poetic license(heart and soul).

This performance is stunning. I carefully watched the first movement cadenza and tried to find a difference between Leif and Rubeistein. I rate it even. If anything, an advantage to Leif. Of course, Rubinstein was 90 years old and blind.

[@n-kpfarr9501]

Yes!!!

[@davidlingard7372]

Beautiful performance but, from a production point of view, the camera should have spent more time on his hands and less on his face. No disrespect here, but the purpose should be to show how the music has been created. I marvel at how a great pianist works on the keyboard.

A good performance is like a fine haut cuisine meal: you can see and taste all the ingredients individually yet it is delicious as a whole. Good soloist, good orchestra, and good hall, good recording! What else can you ask for?! I can't help to wonder what Rachmaninov could have done with the material during the cadenza instead of just playing the same theme in the same key as the exposition!

[@reamartin6458]

Rach had the same idea so he decided to write his second piano Concerto 😏

[@gabrieldesouza1846]

28:38 em diante é um dos trechos mais emocionantes do repertório para piano e orquestra

[@YngvilVG]

Since so many people are picking up on the organic relations in this performance, it's perhaps also a little extra magical that the piano soloist and principal horn player are husband and wife - plenty of handover moments between them -

Same times a little bit... tooooo fast for me !!!!

[@lionfrequency]

Interpretation I guess but right hand plays too fast in the important first two piano sections of the second movement. You miss a lot of the lyrics by going too fast there. Compare with the Hannes Minnaar version for example. Slower is better in 9 out of 10 cases.

[@knutholt3486]

Surely good, but I think he plays like he is on a macho-trip, in the same style you can find amongst Norwegian Hokey- or Football-players, which also can be said about the way the director treats the orchestra. This takes away some of the pleasure from hearing the performance.

[@ericstewart9742]

Agreed. Music is to be felt, not “performed.”

[@brunerwalt]

@@ericstewart9742 If you were a performer of this type of music you would never make this type of remark. Music has to be performed before it can be felt. The great Russian pianists always took this approach and emotionally reached their audience with their passionate playing which demanded an extremely physical and spiritual intensity. The performer has to bring the notes on the page to life with passion in order to reach the listener. This type of music demands a lot of energy and passion to bring it to life!

[@77orchidjim]

Stylistically not the regular interpretation. Agreed the director was conducting from a different score. I had to scroll to the bottom to find even 1 remark. It was played exactly as they wanted. I just prayed it wasn't the way Grieg conceived it. I have played through this piece. Went to a Norwegian school, sang and played Grieg's music for years, actually stood next to Greig's piano and sang a few songs. This is great music and only a good interpretation.
