Mártának | Mozart: Sonata in D major, K. 576 - II. Adagio | György Kurtág - upright piano

[@klangschatten5610]

Sublime, heavenly, celestial. Kurtag is amazing. 94 years old!

[@DavidMGarens]

I love the sound of this upright piano. This man has such a beautiful touch.

[@hidvezso75]

95 years old Hungarian composer. I am not expert, but he is a well respected contemporary musician

[@emilelaurent]

@@hidvezso75 To you as Hungarian may it be said: He is the greatest living composer.

[@wmcfate]

@Valerie O'Brien I think this is a beautiful and thoughtful reinterpretation of the piece. The title of the performance is "Mártának", or "For Márta", in memory of Mr. Kurtág's wife. It was recorded on the one-year anniversary of her passing.

[@yurimeyrowitz6788]

@Valerie O'Brien - György Kurtág is one of the world's greatest composers - and by extension, one of the world's greatest musicians. Who are you to criticize a performance played by a 94 year old genius in memory of his wife? How you , or I, or, for that matter, Mozart would play it is completely irrelevant.

[@normalhispanicdude]

Imagine Schubert playing Bach at the piano. Yes, it is the same here. I had the fortune of hearing him and Márta live in 2011. Best performance I´ve heard.

[@flimi]

for all the critical people: Kurtag is famously (or better said infamously) strict with ANY musical score. especially with big masters, like Mozart. if he wanted to play this piece not as an homage for his late lifelong partner and wife on the death anniversary day, then he would have played it differently. and even that performance would be 1000% accurate and highly musical as possible. otherwise this man can't play music. once he explained why he gave up on a concert pianist career: his technical abilities could never match his musical expectations. even later at his life, he played piano only if he could play the piece (even his own ones) rigorously perfect. (check the Kurtag: Perpetuum Mobile interpretation by him on KZbin) is this recording a Mozart piece reinterpreted/recomposed by Kurtag? definitely. it is the one and only version/interpretation that should exist from this Mozart piece? no, but it will be one of the most touching one, ever played.

Danke für die Veröffentlichung von Kurtag mit Mozart! - Ich sah ihn und seine Frau zuletzt nach Konzerten des András Schiff in der Budapester Musikakademie - Bachs Französische und Englische Suiten. Und ich erlebte die beiden im Wiener Konzerthaus als Gäste im Zyklus bei "Wien modern" vor Jahren, wo Stücke von György Kurtág aufgeführt wurden - sie spielten zur Zugabe ein Bach'sches Choralvorspiel vier-händig am Klavier. Ihre Worte von Mihaly Fliegauf untenstehend erinnern mich an diese damals hingebungsvolle Interpretation nach diesen gewaltigen Klangmassen von Moderner Musik. Liebe Grüße aus Wien! Und viel Gesundheit für Kurtág!

I think he plays perfectly from a pianist's point of view too ...

He plays this very beautifully

[@thomaskroo8511]

Großartig gespielt. Man spürt, wie sehr er diese Musik liebt. 👏

[@capullitodem1]

The spedd is perfect. Us students can progress with an extraordinary Maestro like Mr. Kurtag. He understand Mozart better than many. It is a wonderful execution of one of my favorite sonatas.

[@benjaminfretheim7756]

It's so nice to see him play Mozart with this much feeling! Really astonishing, and very beautiful :D

[@danibosnjak2902]

Even I don’t know much about Kurtag as a pianist I can clearly hear and see that he is a master of the piano but what I really want to say is I love him and music he is playing

[@BUDAWIEN]

Es gibt keine Worte. Mozart. Kurtág. Wunder.

[@jcharwag]

Genius. Thank you dearest Maestro. Only genuine master can make an upright piano sound so divinely.

Thanks for this publication of Kurtag mit Mozart! - I last saw him and his wife after concerts with András Schiff's at the Budapest Music Academy many years ago - Bach's French and English Suites. And I saw the two of them in the "Wiener Konzerthaus" as guests in the cycle of "Wien modern" years ago, where pieces for orchestra by György Kurtág were performed - they played a Bach chorale prelude four-handed on the piano as an encore. Your words by Mihaly Fliegauf below remind me of this devotional interpretation based on the enormous tonal masses of modern music. Best regards from Vienna! And good health for Kurtág!

@@RezsoBarna Sejtettem, hogy valamiféle szándékosság van mögötte. Hát, mindenkinek van perverziója, kinek mi... Engem az előadás nem győzött meg a supersordino folyamatos használatának szükségességéről. Akkor már inkább egy minőségi zongora, amin lehet hasonló (csak szebb) lágy pianissimo-t megszólaltatni. Ja, az sajnos 50-100-szor annyiba kerül, mint ez a ránézésre 40 éves Yamaha P2. Így olcsóbb volt, az biztos. De ez csak az én véleményem. A szárnyzongorákon nincs is ilyen filcbetétes tompítómegoldás. Vajon miért...?
