I discovered Bach as a kid, but Scarlatti too much later. Zacharias' lovely Scarlatti recordings opened my eyes. Zacharias earned my deep admiration before I found this documentary. I'd love to see this with English subtitles.
Merveilleuse interprétation par un Muti grand mozartien surtout à cette époque des années 80 alors au sommet de son art , merci Mozart pour ce chef d'œuvre
What a sublime and friendly composition, completely original. Sounds as if it wrote itself, but it most assuredly did not. It flows like oil, as Mozart said. The melodies embrace each other, the dialogue between voices is absolutely human. Mozart just gets better, and has been my #1 companion for over 5 decades now. He is always new, always modern, never stale. Cannot imagine life without him.
I watch many young pianist playing this waltz.I dont see them present the genuine essense of waltz.leoskaja is faithful to chopins intention in this piece
Zacharias es el que siempre se ha referido a Scarlatti como "su" gran compositor y no solo, como tantos otros, solo sacándolo para algunos bises. Sólo por eso tengo el mayor respeto. Pero me parece aún más importante que Zacharias muestre su, en el mejor sentido, entusiasmo infantil por este gran compositor de una manera ejemplar. En general, un documental maravilloso que he visto muchas veces sin cansarme de él.
Zacharias is the one who has always referred to Scarlatti as "his" greatest composer and not just, like so many others, just popping him out for a few encores. For that alone I have the greatest respect. But it seems even more important to me that Zacharias shows his, in the best sense, childlike enthusiasm for this great composer in an exemplary manner. Overall a wonderful documentary that I've watched many times without getting tired of it.
This woman is wonderful; her playing is a joy. She is reminiscent of Ingrid Haebler and yet she definitely has her own perspective on these wonderful works. I'm definitely going to buy the new complete sonatas by her.
Professionnel n’a jamais signifié sans erreurs. Les erreurs sont proportionnels aux risques qu’on prend en jouant. Et ce que vous disez à propos de je ne sais quelle “propreté”, ou bien manque de propreté, n’ira jamais être partagé par aucun pianiste professionnel. Je peux bien vous assurer de ça. La performance du vivant, vit de ces risques. Etes-vous tellement sûr d’avoir l’autorité pour vous montrer si tranchant? Demontrez nous que vous peuvez delivrer une performance plus fine que ça, donc. Du vivant, sans fautes, et avec un’ex pareille extraordinaire inspiration.
@@sd5580 Vous persistez dans vôtre conviction... mais vous vous trompez. Leonskaja est une professionnelle totale. Je vous souhaite une très bonne soirée et une vie plus joyeuse, dédié à des autres activités, que ne soit pas juger qui sont et qui sont pas les professionnels ;-)
This woman always separates her musical intelligence from her ego. When she plays a piece that EVERYONE has played she broadens her base of critics, but she is unique, consistent, almost predictable and very satisfying.
wonderful and elegant, a joy to hear such playing. A big compliment also to the audience! They are really listening, concentrating and appreciating the concert. Unfortunately his is not too often the case.
