Great! Long time ago that I laughed that much. In fact he is playing Beethoven Bagatelle Nr. 2, op. 126., but this new composition suits so much better to his face. It is tremendous! Please more of this stuff!
If everyone is giggling over his facial expressions, someone really ought to do a video with Mitsuko Uchida. She always looks she's in labor, giving birth to a football team, when she plays. Doesn't change the fact that she plays beautifully, it's just crazy to watch. :]
One can tell Brendel REALLY LOVES PLAYING Beethoven and piano! He is the best! Maybe some should just LISTEN - to appreciate the piece and Brendel's artistry. And he really does make GREAT faces while playing...
Lovely introduction to This Is My Heritage. An amazing talent, someone with the most natural ability ever. How do we get to see more of This Is My Heritage or purchase a DVD, etc?
This gets funnier every time I watch it. When I was practising yesterday, I actually found myself playing bits that I could remember. Fun, fun, fun! But it's the face that gets me. Bravissimo to the uploader!
Sounds like a poor midi track pasted over the visual replacing the original sound track. This is nothing but a joke and not all Alfred's Brendel's recording lol!
