Beethoven - Moonlight Sonata - Berliner Philharmonie | Piano & Orchestra 

My late wife Rainy's favorite classical piece of music. It brought her peace in her last days on earth. I'm sure that she is still listening to it in Heaven. Miss you honey.

This might be the most beautiful piece of music ever created.

I like that the orchestra does not override the piano

No matter you are from Japan , Iran , South Africa , USA or Europe , You love this beautiful piece . This is the magic of Beethoven creations .

Well, that was a pleasant surprise for me. The piece is written for piano of course, and arranging it for symphonic orchestra is very difficult. This is basically orchestra accompanying piano recital, which is the best option. Loved it!

It is the best moonlight Sonata I've ever heard

After returning from our War in 1972, I purchased my first full set of Beethoven’s works. I listened for hours and sometimes days on end. That a human could have created such beautiful creations after what I endured reassured me that God does indeed make and fix it all.....

My grand daughter will be born next mounth, in april 2021, and she will have the name "Luna" I am allready in love with her, every time I look to the moon I hear this beautiful music, Beethoven will guide her on her way in life. Greetings from the Netherlands

I took lessons at 10 to 13 years old. My teacher said I was at a 7 or 8 year level when My parents stopped paying for the lessons due to money issues. The rented spinet was removed, and I hardly touched another piano for 27 years. When I was 40, I attended a concert featuring the Houston Symphony and Van Cliburn, (his last tour, I think). Mr. Cliburn played Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto Number 1, and several other great pieces. This was just the catalyst I needed to jump back in the arena for recreational piano playing enjoyment. Moonlight Sonata is one of the worlds benchmark piano sonatas. It will draw you in as it seems easy to learn the fingering and playing of the first movement. Yet, the tempo, the dynamics and emphasis on the notes Beethoven intended are usually interpreted differently by very good pianist. I had not yet the luxury of sight reading and had to make, many, markings all over my sheet music. The key that the second movement was in just about drove me wonky trying to learn it. I am now 65 years old, and with all my self-teaching abilities. I just can't play the third movement without hundreds of mistakes. I was a security alarm technician and would spend time in many of the super nice homes in the Houston Texas area. I had a nice little repertoire of a half dozen pieces I could play for customers listening enjoyment. When I would notice a beautiful Steinway, Yamaha, Kawai, or any super clean looking Grand Piano just idly sitting in the front room, I would cleverly merge the conversation towards the piano. Before long, the customer would ask me, "the alarm guy" if I'd care to play something. I would get tingles down my back, as I knew I was going to blow them away with my little mini performance. Sometimes my customers would ask me to stop so I could start over after having all family members and even staff, to come to the den, living, or family room to listen. One of our customers had a beautiful concert grand Bosendorfer. It seemed a mile long. When I played the first movement of Moonlight Sonata on that piano, I teared up at my own playing. Moonlight Sonata is a strong piece of music. I would love to have seen the hands and fingering of Georgii Cherkin much closer. I can listen to an orchestra; however, I like to observe a pianist while listening.

I never heard the moonlight with orchestral accompaniment. This was great but the last movement was fantastic!

After learning about Beethoven's life and leaning about when this music was created, I literally cried in my music classroom. The way Georgii plays this made me even more emotional. So beautiful, and I got goosebumps. Thank you for playing. I would love to see your concert in person one day. Cheers, xx

This is so beautiful, i couldn't stop crying. Words cannot describe it

I think it’s safe to say I now have an addiction/obsession with Beethoven. This just hits me in a way nothing else can

This is a beautiful orchestral adaptation of a phenomenal piano sonata. Beethoven was a very troubled man in his personal life, but his talent and abilities are unquestionable to this day. Many people consider his ninth symphony the greatest single achievement in the history of music.

Dolcezza, tristezza, speranza, amore e la fine. Un genio assoluto. Che meraviglia.

It's the most perfect unification of all instruments! I especially like the Presto Agitato and the string section.

Incredible. The Orchestra helps calm the mood

So happy I can play the first and third movement on piano.

I'm so grateful to whoever invited piano 🤩 November 7, 2023

I cannot listen to this without getting the shivers. I'm in love with Beethoven.

Charming ♥️😮‍💨, 2nd allegretto is my favourite ✨

12:20 This is by far the best of moonlight ever and how they accomplished this part is very great ❤️💙

Nothing much to say other than... stunning

I always want to learn piano...and this give me more motivation than anything. I will understand music, feel beethoven emotions and try my best to pour in this moonlight sonata!!

Rarely rare moments of the universe.

Honestly this is a song I want to be played at my Funeral

this is the greatest thing I've ever listened to. WOW. what an incredible piece of music. very moving!

Music that speaks to the soul Cheers

Beethoven 👑.

Breathtaking! I’ve never been to see a live orchestra, but it is certainly in my list of things to do before I die 😌

I'm speechless.This is just marvelous! It is easily one of the greatest musical performances I've ever seen. And the arrangement is perfect. I kept wondering if the original work had an arrangement for orchestra and I had never heard it untill I read the description! hahahah Incredible job, mr Cherkin. Inspiring.

I like how the piano is even in front of the conductor, as it highlights how central to the piece it is - the conductor follows the pianist, and the rest of the orchestra follows him. Beautiful

I just love your interpretation of the 3rd movement

Greatest composer this world will ever hear.

This is my favorite version of Moonlight Sonata. I’ve listened so many times.. it’s beautiful with the orchestra. Thank you!

It's an incredible creation! Or a credible enhancement of a celebrated sonata to a full concerto! Beethoven was arguably the greatest composer ever. Moonlight sonata is his masterpiece! Sounds grand with this orchestration! Thanks for the post. Jamshed Delvadavala from Mumbai.

What an excellent orchestration!! Bravo

teacher-you cant compose without hearing beethoven-hold my moon

Greetings to all from south Louisiana. Georgii, this is absolutely beautiful and so happy to enjoy this with you and everyone else. As I age I find how much more I enjoy this music and appreciate the sense of "wonder" it leaves me with. I don't know much about Bulgaria, but in a strange way, I get a sense of it listening to you play. Peace be with all of you

The 3rd movement of this version is wonderful

Hello there my number 1 favorite composer Ludwig Van Beethoven

This is the most beautiful piece of music ever written played or listened to ever in my opinion

That was beautifully done! 👏👏👏 This is the first time I've ever heard Moonlight Sonata played with the symphony orchestra. Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is my favorite piece.

did anyone notice the lady in the audience who plays along on her lap????? so sweet

The slurs add so much sensuality. I'm falling into the floor

Es increíble como la música conecta el alma de todo el mundo, es un lenguaje que va mas allá de las letras, de las palabras, en particular esta sinfonía de Beethoven me hace llorar, me cala en lo mas profundo, y tu lo interpretas perfectamente, GRACIAS POR ESTO.

I was live there at the Philharmonie and I'm definitely not gonna refret it, such a lovely atmosphere 🎶🌕♥

Close your eyes And Just listen with the ears and an open heart Beautiful I’d say

So smart to have an intier orchestra playing this piece

Such a blissful performance ❤️

Never heard this pianist before, what a most enjoyable performance,! Usually only Piano, would. like to have seen the pianists hands on the piano,

Originally published in 1802 as "Quasi Una Fantasia" (Italian for "Almost A Fantasy"), the "Moonlight" sonata received its epithet from poet Ludwig Rellstab five years after Beethoven's death. This composition has often been associated with love and romance. However, nothing could be further from the truth. As subtly implied by its original title, Beethoven's world-renowned masterpiece is more of a "Song of Death" than a "Song of Love". It was undoubtedly written by a troubled and suffering man at a time of tremendous loss, grief, and sorrow. The poem "Canto Di Morte" (Italian for "Song of Death") was written as a tribute to all of those who despite losing everything they hold dear, continue to face the world with unwavering strength and perseverance. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Rbd3foiDgXQ.html
