Paradigm of Viennese classical style. Elegant perfection.

Thank you for listening! :)

Without Mozart , we don't feel comfortable

[@leonardoiglesias2394]

Piemontesi makes such beautiful faces, full of love for the music!!!!!!! That is real music!!! Faces!! Tell us what to feel!!!!

[@larrymerkle1672]

This is a wonderful performance. The pianist has inserted so many nuances.....they are gifts to the ear and soul. Thank you so much for posting this performance. Years ago I was the photographer for the San Francisco Symphony when Maestro Blomstedt was the music director. He was sensational then and he still is.

[@NDRKlassik]

We couldn't agree more. Meeting Maestro Blomstedt, listening to him or listening to his performances always feels like a gift.

Wunderschöne Aufführung dieses perfekt komponierten Konzerts mit klarem doch zugleich anmutigem Klang des genialen Soloklaviers sowie gut harmonisierten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und fast himmlisch. Der intelligente und unvergleichliche Dirigent leitet das perfekt trainierte Orchester im detaillierten Tempo und mit sorgfältig kontrollierter Dynamik. Alles ist wunderbar!

Excelente interpretación de este célebre concierto para piano compuesto por el Genial W.A.Mozart. Cuando se unen una buena orquesta y un director como es el mítico y legendario Herbert Blomstedt el resultado final no puede ser otro que no sea una maravilla para los oídos. Le deseo larga vida a este longevo maestro a pesar de que ya tiene 93 años. Saludos desde España.

[@NDRKlassik]

Muchas gracias! Thank you for being with us!

[@leonardoiglesias2394]

Cuanto más viejo…….más lo admiran. Cuando tenia 50 años y dirigia 30 veces mejor….nadie lo conocia. Al populacho de las arenas y de las plazas de toros les encanta los numeros de circo. Con 50 es nadie, despues de los 90 es Dios….. Despreciable masa de ignorantes aplaudidores de cualquier cosa que las agencias( astutas) les pone adelante…..

[@leonardoiglesias2394]

Un mito, una leyenda despues de los 80. Nadie lo conocia cuando todavia era un niño de 50 años…… O que grabacion te gusta de el de los 60 o los 70, eh? Que te gusta mas….Brahms, Bruckner, Beethoven o Mozart. Pero muy bien eso de le deseo una larga vida a alguien que tiene 93 años! Esperemos que llegue a los 130.dicen que la vida es relativamente placentera despues de los 90….como que se empieza a complicar….

[@richardpcovington]

This is an extraordinarily moving performance. It is particularly notable that Maestro Blomstedt is in such good form; he must be the oldest conductor still in activity. I have followed Francesco Piemontesi all his career. I do have to say I am bit concerned by his facial expressions. I hope he is in good spirits because he often looks as if he is ready to break into tears. Perhaps he simply has a bad cold. This in no way affects his profound musicianship, of course. Thank you enormously for making this wonderful concert available.

[@NDRKlassik]

Our pleasure & obligation! Thank you for joining us! :)

[@karldelavigne8134]

Herbert Blomstedt is a very youthful nonagenarian, and I expect he has his concert schedule booked for the next decade.

[@leonardoiglesias2394]

Blomstedt studied with Brahms as a teenager. He brings all the knowledge from the great masters of the 19th Century back to our time.

[@ivebarraco]

@@leonardoiglesias2394 this is nonsense. Brahms was already dead for almost 30 years when Blomstedt was born.

[@jeanpaulchoppart6818]

For me, the first movement is a masterwork and the finale is lovely, but the theme of the second movement seems simplistic to me. Excellent rendition.

[@charlespoole2320]

That's to set us up for the finale!

No entiendo la razón para tocar el segundo movimiento a esa velocidad. Las violas, que es lo más bonito de este movimiento, dejan de lucir por el tempo elegido. Aún así, la ejecución del pianista es destacable.
