Mozart - Concerto for Two Pianos (No. 10), K. 365 (Brendel, Cooper)

[@alhfgsp]

Those classic Mozart moments where just for a short while everything makes sense and what it truly means to be alive is revealed to you.

[@thomashogan16]

Beautifully put. I have never read it more profoundly stated.

[@theodentherenewed4785]

That phrase from 3rd movement is just musical perfection. Mozart connected a few notes into one of the best melodies of all times here.

[@laurih.t.8723]

Agreed 💛 Mozart from my childhood always my fave composer ... The sweetest yet also most powerful pieces of music my heart has had the pleasure to hear

[@SuperMusicizmylife]

There are many musical masters who create profound, powerful music - but there is only one composer that I have ever heard who created PERFECT music, Flawless. Every note and nuance, superb. Amadeus was accurate in one regard, and perhaps only one. Salieri described Mozart's music as the voice of God. He was right.

[@fmiyaramusic2462]

Mozart is perfect, but you need to listen more to Bach!

[@vittoriomarano8230]

​​@@fmiyaramusic2462Bach is great of course but doesn't really catch me deep inside. Beethoven does most of the time. Mozart does every single moment.

[@fabiovalenza9811]

The spectacular momentum of Mozart's music is unparalleled.

[@shawnbeard1960]

I'd been collecting classical LP's since I was 10 years old, and had amassed up to 500+ records, reflecting hundreds of composers' works. And then I ultimately replaced them all with CD's in the following years (often the actual recordings/labels/artists from the LP, even) -- and then I divorced my wife & moved away, intending to return for all of my records and tapes... which she had since sold at a yard sale right after I left. Well, this is one of those beloved and special lost recordings, and I believe it is the absolute best in quality & musicianship. I believe (on my original LP) it was on the Philips label, and also included the K242 Concerto for 2 pianos. These two play like conjoined twins, their phrasing well articulated, dovetailing perfectly. So - THANK YOU for posting this! Made my day!

[@alexknezevic8327]

I have this on a Soviet Melodiya CD from 1990 which is together with the concerto for 3 pianos, F major, KV242. It is one of my favourite discs. Luckily, I didn't make mistake to leave it with my ex wife. ;-)

[@xzzx4664]

1. Leave your LP collection to your ex-wife 2. She sells it all for nothing at a stupid yard sale 3. Profit??? Such is the life of an average american

[@rehaylock5199]

Sue her for theft and criminal damage.

[@beechillin565]

Mozart should have written more of these double concertos for pianos (and sonatas as well). This is some of the best stuff he ever wrote!

[@user-np3mj3bf6f]

Agreed. A lot of his early works have a certain character to them that was lost later in his artistic development. Happened to a lot of great composers.

[@user-np3mj3bf6f]

"I never understand why the so called 'experts' would always want to dismiss them" Same. There are a lot of 'experts' in the classical music world who really don't seem to know what they're talking about. Honestly at this point I have a hard time taking anyone with a degree in composition or musicology seriously, because the truth is just because have studied scores does not make their aesthetic taste better than yours or mine.

[@KneeJerkish]

I'm guessing that, as a practical matter, opportunities to have two pianos together for performances were rare in Mozart's time, so demand for double piano concertos wasn't huge. Just a guess.

[@lgtavs]

Totally

[@vittoriomarano8230]

No... absolutely not. He has written only what was necessary to write.

[@og6430]

How Brendel (or Cooper, although I believe its Brendel) balances those two chords at 18:56 blows my mind.

[@jjrj8568]

Mozart + Marriner + St. Martin in the Fields = PERFECTION

[@peterszigeti7476]

[@terrorinthesky1]

The second movement is so hearth warming that it brings tears to my eyes every time...

[@terrorinthesky1]

Just simply...no words can describe the beauty of Mozart's music...Period.

[@schrysafis]

Nobody knows how Mozart invented these melodies. Only with the grace of God one can compose so perfect music.

[@g00gleh00]

THAT TRILL AT 4:14 WITH TWO PIANOS SOUNDS AMAZING

[@bayreuth79]

The musical genius of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is without equal in history, as far as I am concerned. Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig Van Beethoven are his only serious rivals. There is something so uniquely alive about Mozart's music. It has all the freshness and beauty of a beautiful meadow in spring.

[@adriatorras8077]

bayreuth79 Ok you sso right, but... Chopin is a so serious rival. For me, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Chopin are the best. There is no discussion that Mozart is so much better than them, because he composed at earliest age, a lot of more works than them(counting the time he lived), he staied more time with music than others, so much dedication, so much memory, so less errors... I could keep saying more things that make him better. For exemple, Beethoven and Chopin, copied, over all Beethoven, various melodies of Wolfgang... Also Haydn, that lived and composed before him, copy some of his melodies and style in some pieces... Bach... Bach was a genius, but didn't take risks. Here music presents a similarity that reveals the coward soul of Bach. Then... Mozart Over. And in second place maybe there is Beethoven, for his deaf, and his warrior spirit, that won all his problems with his music... Chopin for creativity and constance win the third place. Schumann Liszt and others copied her style. So Bach is fourth. Others artists stay lower.

[@fmiyaramusic2462]

Why rivals? Why everything has to be a competition? True music isn't like that... Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, and so many others have been paving together the route to the soul. Fortunately all composers are without equal. Each have their own personality and style!

Originally composed for the Mozart brother and sister and published later.I played this concerto on both piano parts numerous time and never get tired of it.Brendal and Cooper are just fabulous in their interpretation of this work by the 20 year old Mozart.

[@adriatorras8077]

Lar M cool, but there is not any sister work published? Mozart said that she compose better than him... I would like to know how it sounds like. Maybe Mozart copied something of her sis... ¿no?

[@canman5060]

This is something all of us never know about.Fanny Mendelssohn asked his well known brother Felix to include some of her composition in the collections of songs without words.I wonder how many of the 62 songs without words are by Fanny Mendelssohn.But Fanny did published some of her works.The most brilliant one is her 4 movements piano trio.A absolutely outstanding composition.

[@canman5060]

Yeah. His sister may have written something like Brahms we never know about !

[@StanObirek]

This is how Mozart intended - play this concerto by sister and brother.

I beg to differ. I thought Mozart had all the best tunes and then I realised it was Beethoven who had them all. No tinkly tinkly arpeggios. Just fabulous story telling by music.

[@rodrigogarciagaray3709]

@@rehaylock5199 Hello friend. No worries, you may differ, and I'll not disagree. I like to think I also have my Beethoven days as well (the piano concerto no. 5 - Emperor, his symphonies and the sonatas more than justify your choice). Just as I have my Rimsky-Korsakov summer days, my Tchaikovsky winter afternoons, my Chopin nights rsrrsrs, my Haendel wee hours.... And eventually I'll go back to Mozart at daybreak. In truth, EVERYONE knows (just as the aforementioned all did) that the REAL MASTER of ALL MELODIES was Herr Johann Sebastian :D and sooner or later, one fine morning we're all going to realize that HE had them all rsrsrsrsr I also like to think the tinkly tinkly arpeggios were not really Mozart's choice as much as they were ornaments in demand in those Viennese days, and like everyone else in the Holy Roman Empire , Herr Mozart had to bow and play by the rules so as to be able to make a living.

​@@rehaylock5199 Beethoven's music is full of arpeggios, "tinkly" or otherwise. A lot of his most famous tunes he borrowed from Mozart anyways. The slow movement melody of his Pathetique sonata, for example, was lifted right out of Mozart's c minor piano sonata k.457 second movement, for example and the Ode to Joy theme? One need look no further than Mozart's early sacred work Misericordias Domini, K. 222.

[@JohnVLinton]

In my humble opinion, the musical buildup and spiral unwinding at 21:50 is one of the finest moments in all of Mozart for piquant tension and release. The climbing in the minor and falling in the major is thrilling. That said, I am not a fan of the rubato adopted on the falling here. I have always heard the descent in tempo, and it's more fun at a brisk tempo, whereas it loses its force (and point) when slowed for inspection. (Try comparing this same moment in other versions.) That said, probably the whole third movement is too slow. But otherwise, great playing, a crystalline performance.

AHHHHHHHH TOOK ME 3 HOURS TO FIND THIS SONG! :') So glad I found it.

Piece

[@ZeeBET65]

Well. Let me tell you the reason why it took me three hours to search for this. It started with me, humming to the tune for the 3rd movement. Then I wondered to myself, where did I heard this from? I remember playing this on repeat as a child. I haven't listened to it for quite a long time. So I decided to remember, search for the song high and low with only Mozart and the tune as hints to lead me to success. After 3 hours of a long search and enjoying other different concertos, I found it.

[@23gregorius]

Mozart is making me suddenly happy and laughing when I enter into my Weltschmerz consciousness. So we all experience some kind of ecstasy through him. But what is the origin of music ? From where did he get it ? There is no answer from our so great wizards. You have to dive into the Indian spirituality and there you get the answer. Just as the wireless does not produce its music all composers just transmit the music they hear inside. And inside they have the unique capacity to enter the world of music and report from it by writing what their intuition got hold of. Ask any Indian about the origin of music and he will smile and answer. What a question ? All of us were told from our spiritual gurus that music and art and science originate from our Divine Mother, called Mahashakti. In this way Mozart had a rare opening to the world of happy making music.
