Maria João Pires - Beethoven - Piano Sonata No 17 in D minor, Op 32

Ludwig van Beethoven
Piano Sonata No 17 in D minor, Op 32 'The Tempest'
Maria João Pires, piano

[@josegoncalvesmarques9463]

The first piano rendition I heard in my life was played by a little girl of 9 years. I was 13 years. It happened in Lyceum of Beja, Portugal, in 1954. Imagine who played it? MARIA JOÃO PIRES! The greatness of her genius of the art of piano makes me so proud of my remembrance of that day. Though she keeps young as the artists do. And me too in my constant and huge admiration to her.

[@unxnxjxyhudufi9814]

Which pieces she played?

[@aachoocrony5754]

Wow! What a treasure! Wish I could hear a recording of that. There's something about the last movement which speaks on behalf of adolescence and she still captures it beautifully, might I say better than anyone else so far. Obrigado por partilhar isso.

To me, her playing of Beethoven is one of the best there is !

[@leopold410]

I am shocked. Best understanding of Beethoven. Genious interpretation! Thank You Maria! ❤

There's magic in your fingers and your brain . We are fortunate to experience it.

[@merryquantagency2731]

When Pires plays a piece, it has got too be emotional and exceptional! I have no words!

[@thibomeurkens2296]

Her performance of the third movement is perfect, some play it to slow some to fast but this is perfection! Every note she plays is so clear, she is just on another level of playing!

[@dzelika]

Yes! This is my FAVOURITE interpretation of this movement. So incredibly expressive. Love it!!!!

[@waggishsagacity7947]

There is something about Maria Joao Pires that is irresistible. If I had to explain I'd say that it's the combination of her appearance (with the pixey hairstyle, of course) and her uniques sort of playing. I liked every piece she'd played. I don't think that it's the fact that she's Portuguese or that she now lives on a farm away from the madding crowd, but it doesn't hurt. Thanks for a superb performance of "The Tempest," Ms. Pires.

[@NoferTrunions]

I am so loving those glasses laying on the key block! (I wonder if they are hers?) There is a marvelous interview of her on youtube where she says performances should be in a festival atmosphere - not the rigid, recital form. She really captured my heart when she said "...a child should never be allowed feel the aloneness of the stage..." - I can vouch for that 1st hand. A truly gentle soul.

[@sofijakiners8599]

Она просто завораживает своей игрой. Невозможно оторваться. Спасибо ей за это наслаждение.

[@jeanineserres4146]

The best interpretation of this 17 of Beethoven I have. ever hears.

[@pierreguillaume6882]

I agree with you... I heard this interpretation in 1976 (she also recorded it in these years... I've been looking to find this records for years (not even mentionned in her discography)... and I am glad to hear her on youtube

[@bernardvaisbrot4950]

Madame Pires nous ravit par cette interprétation subtile et cohérente de cette extraordinaire sonate : un équilibre parfait entre les deux mains, des forte sans brusquerie et une fluidité admirable dans le phrasé des mélodies. Pas de pathos ni d'emphase inutiles. Cette sonate devient limpide sous ses doigts et échappe à toute exagération. Un lyrisme bien contrôlé. Bravo !

[@grandmacat1994]

don't know much french, but pathos, yes, merci

[@themastroiannis]

she's expressing sooo much with this sonata. she brought to the surface passages i had never ever noticed before...with such delicacy of touch! it is profound and mysterious, elegiac, poetic, nostalgic, tumultuous. absolutely top notch beautiful interpretation!

[@PaulaIsabelSantos]

she is amazing, love her

[@JohannesSNugroho]

her coloration of the harmonic modulations in 3rd movt is the most sensitive and inspiring!!!

[@NoferTrunions]

Yep, that's MJP! Great adjectives. Add magical and mystical. What she does with that the beginning of that first Schubert Impromptu is is miraculous. There is more to be mined in music's tender moments.

[@grandmacat1994]

i absolutely love her fearlessness in changing emotions, that's what's so great about having beethoven in your life....comments welcome or/(am i not right?)

[@flaviogerez7360]

Fantastic performance. The Opus number is 31 Nº2. This sonata was published under the same opus that sonata Nº16 and Nº18 that has the N1 and N3 respectively. Opus 32 is the Lied 'An die Hoffnung'.

[@gretareinarsson7461]

Amazing artist. Her tone is among the most beautiful of any pianist.

[@sandybanjo]

Amazing.....her use of the sostenuto pedal for resonance in certain passages, is a fine touch....... the whole presentation is wonderful.

[@noelwilde]

What a fabulous player. So glad I’ve seen her in live performances

[@paulocosta7714]

Que posso dizer desta execução, da Sonata 17 de Beethoven? Simplesmente fabulosa. Só Maria João Pires, toca desta maneira, ou seja, com uma expressividade, e, sentimento, fora de série. Para mim, a distinta pianista, encarna na perfeição, o espirito de Beethoven. Além da sua predisposição natural, o seu distinto mestre, Professor Campos Coelho, foi aluno de Viana da Mota, que por sua vez, descobriu sonatas inéditas de Beethoven. Por isso, Maria João Pires, vem em linha recta, do imortal compositor, e, pianista. Curvo-me respeitosamente, perante tamanho virtuososmo. Desejo á distinta, e, ilustre pianista, felicidades, saúde, e, muitos êxitos, com que, aliás, nos tem sempre nos brindado. Subscrevo-me respeitosamente Paulo Costa.

[@gretareinarsson7461]

Such a wonderful pianist. Exquisite tone, such care with dynamics and clarity of tone and voicing of chords, never execrated tempo and such interpretative freedom. Never any hint of showing off, It's all about the music.

[@grandmacat1994]

execrated-hmm as players (not even performers) we are under strict orders to be prepared inwardly for all the changes before (pretty much) while practicing, making them audible-B has a lot of moral integrity, no?

[@babycat9899]

2nd mov. Is just...out of this world. The tenderness and stark contrasts when required is noticed. I've listened to countless recordings of it since I was young. This has to be one of my favourites for so many reasons...thank you for another perspective...fell in love once again.

[@user-ct7wl6dt4r]

2nd movement is soooo good

[@user-jf6hw7dm3t]

Ich höre Ihnen so gerne zu.Immer habe ich das Gefühl von Vertrauen und Gelassenheit, da ich spüre, dass Sie die Musik mit einem tiefen Verständnis interpretieren. Auch mit einer Portion Demut. So sollte es sein,für immer. Genau so. Man fühlt sich so aufgehoben und zuhause. Tausend Dank.❤

[@renaudpontier]

Superbe interprétation d'une grande fluidité et d'une remarquable sensibilité. Le finale rappelle un peu la célèbre "Lettre à Elise" , mais en beaucoup plus développé. Il est grandiose sans aucune grandiloquence pour autant. Cette sonate et une merveille d'un bout à l'autre.

[@Lou44000]

the best Beethoven and Schubert I have ever heard....

[@josealexandreferreiradacos193]

Sim, admirável. Sobretudo nos "espaços" que Beethoven exige nesta Sonata - pausa no momento certo, ataque impetuoso no momento mais que certo - impecável. Talvez no 2º andamento .Maria João Pires seja um tanto lenta - aqui e li tem como que "hesita" de propósito. exigindo um contraposto ou resposta que não se espera mas sempre muito bem. Questão de interpretação nos limites restritos da liberdade de quem executa. E o final é brilhante.

bravo maria joao.... keep playing, please.... always.. “To be great, be whole; Exclude nothing, exaggerate nothing that is not you. Be whole in everything. Put all you are Into the smallest thing you do. So, in each lake, the moon shines with splendor Because it blooms up above.” ― Fernando Pessoa. Para ser grande, sê inteiro: nada Teu exagera ou exclui. Sê todo em cada coisa. Põe quanto és No mínimo que fazes. Assim em cada lago a lua toda Brilha, porque alta vive. ― Fernando Pessoa. you inspired my music and my life @2-nY
