I have heard so many versions of the sonata through the years and Alicia de Larrocha and Andre Previn's is the best by far. The musicality and sense of style is beyond perfection!
Good point! When I am stuck with writing, I get the inspiration from this performance. The first few bars are enough to energize my brains and fingers on the keyboard.
I completely agree with you. Speed is not the most important thing at all. This interpretación is perfect because that speed allows you to be able to make music! Bravo!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@silianazdravkova7481 not to mention mozart is all about clarity and precision being his music is transparent it must sing throughout and operatic having questions then answers finishing off with a clear bold statement. I love Mozart when played well
@@MrTaiese I completely agree with you. Now a days everybody wants to run. All these modern interpreters, specially Chinese, they just run. That's not music at all! It's very difficult to find a good Mozart's interpretaction. I'm very happy that there still are people who want to hear music and not just fast noise! 😄
Musical Heaven - expressivity, restraint, deep understanding in every key stroke. A miraculous gift from two very great musicians. Thanks many times over!
Thank you yotsuya21! You have uploaded many wonderful performances!! Isn't it remarkable how Previn can be outstanding in both the classical and jazz worlds?
C’est drôle à quel point on se sent vivant après avoir écouté ce moment de pure grâce… ça match du tonnerre entre eux… une écoute incroyable, une admiration réciproque et un respect de chacun avec en plus une rigueur du texte… époustouflante..le tout avec la vitalité et la poésie d’un Chérubin… les Noces ne pouvaient être plus belles je trouve !
Finally a (much more than) decent recording [edit two days later: perfect] after listening to three others that i wish to forget that were listed first on a youtube search, including other big names that obviously do not get Mozart (argerich/barenboim). This one is infinitely better in every possible way. This recording gets better each time it is re-heard, an unmistakable sign of good taste and higher musicianship (the corollary is true with poor interpretations, each listening becomes more tedious). The gradation of nuances here are sublime, the command of time is perfect, nothing is rushed just pure music as it must have sounded in the composer's intention. I am sure Mozart would have cried from joy listening to these two fantastic pianists. The quality of the sound they produce seems to inscribe itself perfectly in time. The slow end of the second movement is amazing it transports you into a not easily accessible Mozartian vision and i think it is the heart of this piece and yet i could not have said this from the three other interpretations I listened before. This is just amazing by any comparison. I am on my second [edit: fifth] listening and oh my god this is even better [perfection] than I thought. Major accomplishment in this recording, this will not be lost to me.
Perfection, pure and simple - a reverent and musically vital realization of the genius of the sublime Amadeus. Listen again and again with undiminished pleasure and respect!
I imagine this magnificent interpretation is just the way Mozart himself imagined it. Unhurried yet still sparkling. Perfect tempo; perfect in all respects. The more I listen to it the better it gets. Thanks.
The best of all the versions by people I most admire including Britten and Richter. This just makes complete sense, musically. They also enjoy playing together.
The most beautiful piano sonata played by the best two pianists in the world Alicia de Larrocha and Andre Previn. Enjoyed very much after listening to again and again......
Alicia de LaRocca was a fabulous concert pianist!! I saw her play in a concert once, on her last tour of the U.S. She was a very tiny,short woman with very small hands!And she was in her 70's then! She was such an outstanding,brilliant world class artist! It is amazing that she could perform this extremely difficult and beautiful concerto so beautifully with such tiny hands and stature? Every note is clear , her phrasing is gorgeous! This is a very musical performance of Rachmaninoff 3rd...very clear,very expressive and romantic! Her playing continues to be an inspiration!

Très belle interprétation, je ne savais pas qu'ils avaient joué ensemble. Tempo giusto, bravo ! Quelle finesse de phrasé, quel équilibre et une mise au point rigoureuse, j'ai l'impression qu'ils ont joué ensemble pendant des années, ce qui n'était évidemment pas le cas.
Thanks for the upload. I remember playing this with a fellow piano student. I had difficulty finding a recording of it back then. I'm glad to have found it years later. Brings back nice memories. It was a fun piece to play.
As a matter of fact, some misinterpreted Mozart's natural inclination to freedom, rebellion, and self-determination as a symptom of madness. Along with his tendency to break up with pretentiousness, and his natural rejection to ostentation, there's no doubt that his personality can be considered eccentric. Now, from that to even suggest he was a "madman", not even close. By reading his letters, one immediately understands the great mind and human being behind them.
