COMMENTAIRE COMPLET : VOIR PREMIER COMMENTAIRE ÉPINGLÉ.
La véritable conception du concerto, l’essence du genre consiste dans la lutte qui se livre entre l'orchestre, d'une part, et l'instrument ou le groupe d'instruments solos de l'autre. Cette lutte est entrecoupée de trêves pendant lesquelles orchestre et soliste collaborent amicalement, et elle se termine par une réconciliation ; elle n'en est pas moins une lutte véritable. Tantôt, les armes sont communes aux deux adversaires : ce sont les thèmes principaux qui reviennent dans les soli et dans les tuttis ; tantôt, chacun a les siennes : ce sont d'autres thèmes réservés au soliste, et d'autres, enfin, qui n'appartiennent qu'à l'orchestre.
Les péripéties de la lutte sont diverses : elle peut rester indécise et solo et orchestre se renvoient alors les thèmes de l'un à l'autre ; le tutti peut remporter une victoire momentanée et claironner bruyamment son triomphe ; ou bien, le soliste, à coups d'accords, de gammes et d'arpèges, peut voir ses efforts couronnés de victoire, et, dans un trille étincelant, narguer l'orchestre vaincu. Mais, quelle que soit l'issue momentanée, nous savons qu'en fin de compte ni l'un ni l'autre ne triomphera et que la dernière cadence scellera paix et alliance entre les ennemis réconciliés.
Or, de tous les concertos, ceux de Mozart forment le groupe le plus important. C'est une raison pour laquelle ils ont droit à une étude spéciale. Il en existe une autre. Il n'y a pas, dans toute l'œuvre de leur compositeur, de genre où il se soit exprimé d'une manière aussi complète. Ses concertos pour piano, échelonnés à travers ses années depuis sa dix-huitième jusqu'à sa trente-sixième, nous le présentent à tous les âges ; ils constituent le témoignage le plus varié et le plus étendu de sa vie artistique.
Nous y retrouvons ses joies et ses tristesses, ses espérances et ses déceptions ; nous pénétrons par eux dans ce sanctuaire intérieur, où l'homme harassé et surmené retrouvait la vie fraîche et rayonnante qui ne cessa jamais de renaître au fond de son coeur. Dans presque tous les genres si divers où il a prodigué ses richesses, on trouve une ou deux œuvres qui comptent parmi ses plus belles, mais aucun de ces genres n’offre une succession de chefs-d'œuvre aussi abondante que celle des concertos pour piano.

Mais, quelle que soit l'issue momentanée, nous savons qu'en fin de compte ni l'un ni l'autre ne triomphera et que la dernière cadence scellera paix et alliance entre les ennemis réconciliés. Pour que ce résultat paraisse vraisemblable, il faut que la lutte ait lieu à forces égales. L'orchestre utilise sa polyphonie, sa masse, son coloris ; le soliste, sa virtuosité. Les doubles et triples croches sont la seule arme dont il dispose pour combattre le poids et les couleurs de l'orchestre. Enlevez-lui ce moyen de défense ; son instrument n'est plus qu'un entre cinquante ; l'orchestre l'écrase et l'absorbe. La virtuosité n'est pas un simple déploiement d'habileté technique elle est une source de beauté et le moyen même d'existence pour l'instrument-solo. On ne défend pas à l'orchestre de tirer parti de sa couleur et de son poids ; qu'on n'interdise pas au soliste sa virtuosité. Le fait que certains compositeurs de concertos ont abusé de cette arme ne change rien à l'affaire ; le solo doit être virtuose ou périr. Le danger pour le soliste d'être absorbé par l'orchestre est réel et c'est souvent pour y faire face que tant de concertos médiocres tombent dans l'excès opposé et se réduisent à des successions de traits précédés, entrecoupés et suivis de quelques modestes interventions de la part du tutti. Ce péril menace surtout les concertos pour instruments à cordes et à vent ; ceux pour le piano le craignent beaucoup moins, car la sonorité de l'instrument se détache clairement sur le fond orchestral. Pour cette raison, le concerto avec piano est peut-être l'idéal du genre ; la lutte entre un seul violon et toute l'armée des cordes, des bois et des cuivres paraît toujours inégale ; avec le piano, nous sommes sûrs que l'orchestre trouvera à qui parler. Le piano, par la différence complète de sa couleur tonale, aussi bien que par l'indépendance de sa personnalité, est dans une position différente (de celle du violon) et généralement prend le parti de combattre l'orchestre ; l'orchestre peut être disposé à admirer, à adorer, même ; mais l'instrument solo est une chose à part, un être d'une race différente. Le violon, au contraire, est un héros national ; l'orchestre sait qu'il est sorti de ses rangs. Le violon doit lutter davantage pour garder sa personnalité là où les deux forces sont en opposition ; mais une fois que l'instrument solo a gagné, il ne conquiert pas seulement, il convainc et inspire même ceux qui étaient jadis en rébellion contre lui. Envisagé comme une lutte entre deux forces, l'une simple, l'autre complexe, le concerto cesse donc d'être un genre inférieur et mérite d'être étudié autant que la sonate, le quatuor ou la symphonie. Or, de tous les concertos, ceux de Mozart forment le groupe le plus important. C'est une raison pour laquelle ils ont droit à une étude spéciale. Il en existe une autre. Il n'y a pas, dans toute l'œuvre de leur compositeur, de genre où il se soit exprimé d'une manière aussi complète. Ses concertos pour piano, échelonnés à travers ses années depuis sa dix-huitième jusqu'à sa trente-sixième, nous le présentent à tous les âges ; ils constituent le témoignage le plus varié et le plus étendu de sa vie artistique. Nous y retrouvons ses joies et ses tristesses, ses espérances et ses déceptions ; nous pénétrons par eux dans ce sanctuaire intérieur, où l'homme harassé et surmené retrouvait la vie fraîche et rayonnante qui ne cessa jamais de renaître au fond de son coeur. Non pas qu'on prétende que ses concertos les plus beaux soient supérieurs aux meilleures de ses autres œuvres ; les quatre grandes symphonies, certains de ses quatuors et quintettes et nombre d'autres compositions ne le cèdent en rien à ses plus beaux concertos. Dans presque tous les genres si divers où il a prodigué ses richesses, on trouve une ou deux œuvres qui comptent parmi ses plus belles, mais aucun de ces genres n’offre une succession de chefs-d'œuvre aussi abondante que celle des concertos pour piano. Il a composé une cinquantaine de symphonies, mais, de celles-ci, quelque trente-huit furent écrites avant le voyage qu'il fit à Paris à vingt et un ans, et des dix autres, seules les quatre dernières peuvent être appelées grandes. Il a composé une trentaine de quatuors, mais seuls les douze derniers datent de l'époque de sa maturité ; les autres sont antérieurs à l'âge de 23 ans. Les huit quintettes non plus ne forment pas un groupe homogène ; le premier est contemporain des premiers quatuors ; celui avec cor et celui pour piano et instruments à vent sont de sa vingt-huitième et sa vingt-neuvième années ; il composa les deux suivants à trente et un ans, celui avec clarinette à trente-trois ans, et les deux autres tout à la fin de sa vie. Il en est de même des autres genres, excepté les opéras, qui s'espacent assez également à travers sa maturité et forment le seul groupe qui puisse disputer tant soit peu aux concertos le privilège de refléter d'une manière complète la physionomie de leur créateur. Imaginons-nous que de toute sa musique instrumentale un seul groupe eût survécu et nous reconnaîtrons que celui qui nous transmettrait l'image la plus entière du maître, celui dont la survivance rendrait, si possible, la perte des autres moins regrettable, ce serait bien le groupe des concertos pour piano. Les concertos de Mozart, cependant, étaient loin d'être des incontournables des salles de concert au début du XXe siècle. Pourtant, le vent a commencé à tourner. Une nouvelle génération d'éminents claviéristes classiques, parmi lesquels Wanda Landowska, Walter Gieseking, Edwin Fischer et Arthur Schnabel, a contribué à faire avancer la cause, tout comme Lili Kraus. Lili Kraus a comparé son affinité avec Mozart à une mission : « Quand j'ai commencé à explorer Mozart, j'ai découvert la beauté infinie de cette musique, et d'une certaine manière il m'est donné de donner vie à cette beauté. Je trouve qu'il est de mon devoir, de mon privilège, et si vous voulez, de ma croix, de consacrer ma vie à cette musique. » Certains pianistes et compositeurs deviennent inextricablement liés aux yeux du public. Mentionnons Glenn Gould, par exemple, et les Variations Goldberg de Bach viennent à l'esprit. Artur Schnabel et Beethoven étaient pratiquement synonymes, tout comme Walter Gieseking et Debussy, Arthur Rubinstein et Chopin, Alicia de Larrocha et les impressionnistes espagnols. Lorsqu'il s'agissait de la musique pour piano de Mozart, plusieurs générations d'auditeurs et de collectionneurs considéraient les interprétations de Lili Kraus comme le dernier mot..

[@mr.fredericchopin6214]

The Lili Kraus and Stephen Simon complete Mozart Concertos were recommended to me when I read an article about where to find the best recordings of all these concertos. Wow! I hit the jackpot. The pianist and conductor understand Mozart more deeply than anyone else I have ever listened to in these concertos! Mozart can be so deep, bring out emotions in such a subtle way that you don't even know those emotions were even in you. There is also great humor and playfulness, simplicity and elegance, nuance... on and on. I think Lili Kraus understood Mozart better than almost any other pianist. She was so attuned to the composer, there is such color in every note and Lili searches the depths of touch and tone. Just as Mozart's concertos go where no composer can go, Lili Kraus and Stephen Simon go where no pianist and orchestra usually travel. What words can one use to describe these concertos? Sublime, gorgeous? Yes! I really adore the way Lili Kraus and Stephen Simon play the second slow movement of the 17th concerto. Almost immediately I feel both the beauty and the depth of despair. Wow!

Love, truth, ...heavenly beauty. We have to be so thankful to hear this - one wonders what the world would be like without Mozart. It's hard to imagine. As a 16 year old, I would go to the Donnell Library in NY to listen to classical music in the spring of 1957. The music librarian selected music for me and she operated the 33rpm turntable. I asked her for Mozart and she brought me the 19th concerto played by Lili Kraus. I came back again and again and asked for that recording. I'm profoundly thankful she shared that with me. And thank you, and Sony, for putting this here.

[@adrianjames7968]

(Wikipedia) Lili Kraus was born in Budapest in 1903. Her father was from Czech Lands, and her mother from an assimilated Jewish Hungarian family. She enrolled at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music, and at the age of 17 entered the Budapest Conservatory where she studied with Zoltán Kodály, and Béla Bartók. In the 1930s, she continued her studies with Severin Eisenberger, Eduard Steuermann in Vienna and Artur Schnabel in Berlin, who focused her interest in the classical tradition. Lili Kraus soon became known as a specialist in Mozart and Beethoven. Her early chamber music performances and recording with violinist Szymon Goldberg helped gain the critical acclaim that launched her international career. In the 1930s, she toured Europe, Japan, Australia and South Africa. In 1940, Kraus embarked on a tour of Asia where, while in Java, she and her family were captured and interned in a concentration camp by the Japanese from June 1943 until August 1945. After the war, she settled in New Zealand where she spent many happy years playing, performing, and teaching. She became a NZ citizen and resumed her career, teaching and touring extensively. In the early 1950s she performed the entire Beethoven sonata cycle with violinist Henri Temianka. From 1967 to 1983, she taught as artist-in-residence at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth. After that she made her home in Asheville, North Carolina, where she died in 1986. Kraus' husband was Otto Mandl (b. 1889 d. 1956), a wealthy Jewish (later converted to Catholicism) mining engineer and philosopher. They were married on October 31, 1930 and Mandl sold his business in order to devote himself to the furtherance of Kraus' career.[1]. The couple had two children, Ruth and Michael.

How can one person create so much beauty for the world to enjoy for centuries and only live to be 35? It's just so crazy.

[@Universaa]

@@laphan5457 lol, that analogy of the forklift and their's so many things to move with it.

[@SMORAME]

It is not crazy to think about it ... God chose Mozart to leave us majestic and ingenious, incomparable and unique works, but he took it to continue composing in heaven

[@Universaa]

​@@SMORAME any god can be beaten by powerful imagination, emotion , sensation and limitation, you should really think about that, you'll definitely find a fact that god doesn't exist then. The universe is just absorption in different ways, everything is broken from the origin and will eventually expand into darkness only for some to become brightness and the left overs of both to cause another big bang jeez la weez, the universe is so fucking unaware, yet so aware at the same time .

totally - I cannot go a day without ravishing the sounds of my favorite piece: Flute and Harp concerto for orchestra ...to me: it is Mozart's creme de la creme on steroids plus and then some .... he composed this piece for 2 instruments he was not familiar with, nor played, his genius in this particular piece is UNDENIABLE, ALIVE and FOREVER PRESENT ..... listen to it sometime :)

[@adrianjames7968]

(Wikipedia) Lili Kraus was born in Budapest in 1903. Her father was from Czech Lands, and her mother from an assimilated Jewish Hungarian family. She enrolled at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music, and at the age of 17 entered the Budapest Conservatory where she studied with Zoltán Kodály, and Béla Bartók. In the 1930s, she continued her studies with Severin Eisenberger, Eduard Steuermann in Vienna and Artur Schnabel in Berlin, who focused her interest in the classical tradition. Lili Kraus soon became known as a specialist in Mozart and Beethoven. Her early chamber music performances and recording with violinist Szymon Goldberg helped gain the critical acclaim that launched her international career. In the 1930s, she toured Europe, Japan, Australia and South Africa. In 1940, Kraus embarked on a tour of Asia where, while in Java, she and her family were captured and interned in a concentration camp by the Japanese from June 1943 until August 1945. After the war, she settled in New Zealand where she spent many happy years playing, performing, and teaching. She became a NZ citizen and resumed her career, teaching and touring extensively. In the early 1950s she performed the entire Beethoven sonata cycle with violinist Henri Temianka. From 1967 to 1983, she taught as artist-in-residence at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth. After that she made her home in Asheville, North Carolina, where she died in 1986. Kraus' husband was Otto Mandl (b. 1889 d. 1956), a wealthy Jewish (later converted to Catholicism) mining engineer and philosopher. They were married on October 31, 1930 and Mandl sold his business in order to devote himself to the furtherance of Kraus' career.[1]. The couple had two children, Ruth and Michael.
