Mozart - Piano Concerto No. 21 in C major, K. 467 (Murray Perahia)

[@markkirkpatrick2075]

Perahia and his interpretation of Mozart - for me, he is the very best.

[@JonathanKofi]

To say the very best is an understatement! Perahia brings out Mozart, early Beethoven and Schubert like no other!

[@RaineriHakkarainen]

NOT TRUE! Murray Perahia only The King of playing Mozart piano concerto no 25!

@@RaineriHakkarainen As Mark said - Perahia is the best. I would add "ever". This is just for *me* . For you, not so much. Remember, tastes in musical performance are comparable to tastes in wine. As long as the basic product isn't flawed, there is a wide range of "what's best" among educated listeners.

Comme vous avez raison ! Mozart restera à jamais cet immense poète de la très grande musique !!

[@Kleermaker1000]

As for the cadenzas: Perahia uses as much Mozart cadenzas as are available. If there aren't any, he uses the ones written by other composers (there is for instance at least a Beethoven and a Hummel cadenza, and if those are lacking he uses the ones of other great pianists (for example one of Serkin) and at last cadenzas of his own. This guy is not only a fantastic Mozart piano concerto performer, but also very honest and humble. Hats off for Murray!

[@kevalananda4510]

Perfecto👍

[@lymanmj]

Perahia sits atop a large assortment of amazing pianists in our world today. A large part of his genius for me is that he makes the music about the composer - not about himself.

Yes - except for his rendition of the Adagio of the 23rd. Have you heard it here?

[@andreinanovello9003]

superbo!!! intenso e dolcissimo

[@Deuterium52]

I love Perahia's candenzas, he really understands the feel of the piece. When other pianists throw in a modern sounding cadenza in a classical piece it just takes me out of it.

[@TehKaiser]

His cadenza is terribly unmusical. There is NO END to the sound when in the main piece, Mozart always composes "breaks" for the listener to take in before making transitions. Emulating Mozart usually winds up in disaster because you've got performers with little sense of composition making up stuff.

[@mhuten]

@@TehKaiser that would be boring

[@JoshuavanderVeen]

@@TehKaiser Well put. You probably have a bunch of dislikes though :\

[@gunnarrundblad6846]

@TehKaiser I listened to Jörg Demus as a kid and his(?) cadensas for this concerto always were the peak of interrest that I waited for. They ARE quite modern at times but very special and I thought they gave a unique cathartic release to this magical music.

3:24 It's his G minor Symphony No. 40!

[@VRnamek]

yes, why not reuse great themes? All of them composers did. But this was very brief. One of these Mozart piano concertos actually opens with a whole famous sections from one of his operas or symphonies, don't remember which.

[@MaestroTJS]

Well, this is Mozart. Similar themes pop up all over the place. But who could possibly blame him? Look at the speed at which he worked, the fact that these pieces probably were only heard a few times (if THAT), and the huge volume of music he wrote. I'd reuse even more because I doubt I could be creative enough to keep coming out with so many fantastic motives and melodies. The second theme (which follows the minor mode section you are talking about) is similar to the second theme in his Third Horn Concerto.

[@Qee7en]

Actually it's the other way around, this was written before his 40th Symphony... but other than that, listen closer, the progression in the second part of the theme isn't exactly the same.

Love the second movement. It's just the tempo I like. Too often it sounds like the pianist is in a hurry. Now, somebody please tell me, in plain English, what a cadenza is. Thankyou.

[@emmali303]

A cadenza is a few minutes before the end of a movement, but very close to it. It's a part that the composer does not write, but it is supposed to show off the skills of the pianist.

[@peterburger8921]

It's a solo. The orchestra stops and the soloist plays, often a solo pre-written by the composer. In Mozart's day they were improvised.

[@viksinha5410]

It’s not as hard as it seems. It’s actually pretty fun when you get the hang of it!

[@lynktalz]

this piece was used in the movie Elvira Madigan, and classical music disc jockeys used to call the piece by the name of the movie, but then for some reason, they decided not to keep doing that, so they made a deliberate effort to stop calling K 467 by the name of the movie. and now it's not usually called that.

[@None-zc5vg]

Most movies are ephemeral and "Elvira Madigan" has faded away, so it may be for the best that its association with this concerto has gone with it.

[@bezonshroff]

After much searching, at last, a serving of the opening of the 2nd movement that is not entirely like a timid cat coming in through its cat-flap, or antiseptic cream issuing from a tube...each note stands alone at least with some ring to it. Ironical, that this interpretation comes in after an orchestral introduction intended for a funeral. I can't be the only one who feels that the notes imply a fresh, optimistic, joyous beginning - that should ring out -?

Mozart's music, like Bach's, is indeed "divine" in a sense, and thereby "spiritual". But it has nothing whatsoever to do with "God", Mozart loving "God", or vice-versa. You just happen to associate spirituality with your God. Please keep your God to yourself, thank you.

[@mozartiano123]

I think this is mozart's original cadenza.

[@charlesgo3031]

I thought so too, but it turns out Wolfy didn't leave a cadenza for this one, and Perahia crafted it himself. It's definitely one of the best cadenzas out there, takes the best of Mozart's elements and sounds authentic.

[@fdsfsfsfdfsfsdfsdfa]

how does it sound anything like what a classical pianist would have played? It's far too adventurous and disjointed

[@Kleermaker1000]

Absolutely not! Mozart's own cadenzas are so much better. These are from Perahia himself (1st movement) and Serkin ( last movement)

[@FriendlyCroock]
