I. Allegro II. Adagio un poco mosso III. Rondo - Allegro ma non troppo Rosalía Gómez Lasheras, piano Joseph Bastian, conductor Duisburger Philharmoniker (Dortmund, 2018)
I am 88 years old and I love Beethoven but it has been years since I heard this concerto. By chance, my son told me about You tube...I didn't know it existed until a few days ago. Now I am listening, loving, my heart is pounding, and tears are falling from my eyes. When I think of the days and weeks to come, I realize that it has changed my life, enriched my life, by simply clicking for the works I love. This is a wonderful performance by this pianist.
I wish you many more years of enjoyment. I have loads of recordings on CDs but nothing beats watching the skill and precision involved in producing such an exquisite sound - especially Beethoven, my hero.
It's never too late for good music. I have an other great Beethoven piece for you, enjoy! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GjXBKR4iDS8.html
I as well LOVE Beethoven. Many years ago, I was fortunate enough to have discovered RU-vid. I sit in my lazy boy chair in my living room with a 17 inch HP Envy Laptop and spend hours listening to great music with absolutely beautiful video to watch on this great screen on this laptop. I purchased a laptop lap desk and I have all the comforts at hand to listen and watch beautiful videos as long as I like. I am retired and 69 years old. Life is good. Enjoy Beethoven as I do also.

In this stellar performance by a pianist I have never before heard and an orchestra/conductor combination who are unfamiliar to me, is one of the most important reasons to be thankful for RU-vid. At age 93 and unable to travel to live concerts even in the small city where I now reside, this is a daily component of activity that makes life still very much worth living. I now have several artists playing some of the greatest music ever written with unlimited availability for me to watch, up close and personal in ways that even a live performance does not offer. Thanks to all who make it happen.!!!
I cannot agree with you more. The excitement of discovering these hidden videos is incredible. Not only the videos are so accessible, but also it is nowadays so cheap and easy to record and film a performance and upload it to RU-vid that we get to know performers that perhaps in the olden times had to go through layers and layers of people and record label filters before perhaps seeing the light. And then, only for profit.
I very much agree. Nowadays it's not easy to go to concerts when we get older and live in places that do not have this type of entertainment that are necessary for us to make life with an extra meaning of enjoying it when we have got to this age. I'm 81 and still can't belive it. Grateful to God in every possible way and praying things come better for future generations.
# The charm of the live venue video, #Piano solo, #The performance speed of the music is the highest. I was impressed by the performance that #realism, #camera split cut split, and piano solo performance understood the strength and weakness of the keyboard touch. Not only the conductor and the orchestra, but also the camera split video that can read the score of multiple TV camera switching operator switchers (camera split, which is especially important in classic) is wonderful. 🙌👍❤️ Thank you. 😊
Granted, the way Rosalia plays those passages that are to be played pianissimo are amazing. Yet, I wished you looked for the old videos of Alicia Sara Ott. Unfortunately, she suffered a serious illness that left her bedridden for a while. She got back, yet I do not know if she has recovered 100%. She used to have a stunning virtuosity, that allowed her to enjoy fully whatever she played. I especially suggest you listened to the way she used to play The Campanella by Franz Lizt.
There's more talent around now than ever where musicians go; superb pianist and orchestra. Nice to know that music is the one area where we can all gather and celebrate life ... free from government overreach and all the nasty stuff this world throws at people. Beethoven is a refuge. His music is more relevant now than it ever has been.
This pianist plays the Emperor as though Beethoven wrote it only yesterday, personally handed her the score, gave her a rare smile, then put her in a world-transforming trance. The great man seemed to have weaved the same enchantment over the Duisburger and the sound engineer, too. I do believed I picked up every transcendent note. I still can't quite believe what I think I've just heard.
I'm 70+ and have been playing music for 60 years. Rosalia is a musical angel. For me, exquisite technique combined with a palpable expression of soul are the qualities of a musician that I want to hear again and again. I want to hear Ms. Lasheras again and again.
After 40 years or so hearing the Emperor on audio and a few times in the concert hall, the appreciation of the absolute beauty of this performance is tops. We all should count how blessed we are to be able to enjoy it this way. And truly, the video multiplies the beauty: To know from watching one appreciates what a joy it is for the orchestra and pianist, as much as for the audience. This has to be near the pinnacle of classical music. If only it were to be possible for our world's cultures to evolve to even a fraction of this extent.
I grew up listening to this concerto with Curzon playing since I was 11 years old. This performance is unique, exceptionally beautiful. Unbelievable touch. Every note is a thing of beauty. Such control of every note. Rosalie had to be a very beautiful human being. I've listened to this piece thousands of times and never heard it played so beautifully.
This piece of music to me without doubt is the most compelling piece of music of all time it’s meaning is beautiful beyond compare for me It has no rival what so ever for me 👍
L'imperatore musica divina trasporta il tuo spirito a vette elevate dove regna la gioia e la pace del cuore.L'esecuzione di Rosalia, del maestro dell' orchestra è perfetta per non dire insuperabile.Grazie a tutti ed in primis a Beethoven.❤❤❤❤
Majestic does not mean battering the walls and beating the piece into submission. She got it right! So few of the iconic warriors didn’t. Bravo. Wonderful.
How wonderful to observe the performer enjoying this masterpiece, rather than appearing to perform a difficult work! Life becomes beautiful with such occasions.
I am from the Czech Republic. Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 together with Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1 are both magnificent works of world musical heritage. Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Dvořák - three stars in my heart forever. Great music!
What a performance.. Shear pleasure to listen to Rosalia perform this magnificent composition of one of the world’s greatest composers. His works are just out of this world.
Is it just me or does music sound much better when the musician is so obviously enjoying herself? Phenomenal performance. And the timbre of this piano is absolutely perfect for this piece.
@@ianpurvis all of us here! paradise on the Earth. Beethoven was a pure genious. It's hard to make a choice, but this concerto is my favorite musical masterpiece ever
I could not believe my ears when I first heard the recording. I was reading and wanted background music.It was so different than anyone else playing this. It was light and airy but at the same time powerful. Hard to explain. Had an ethereal quality. I am not a musician or well schooled in music, merely an appreciative listener. Thank you and God bless
Rosalia plays as if she is enjoying every moment of the music, and thus helps the listener to do exactly the same. This is marvellously skilful playing. Well done, Rosalia!
What do you mean when you write "as if" ? You must be mistaken. I think that Rosalia's performance is REALLY to be understood as one when the score finds its way to the piano only after it passes through Rosalia's heart. Yes! I know that it is the feeling of love which inspired the master Beethoven. Rosalia understands the love sent to us by Beethoven and using her piano she tells us her own feelings of love when she plays for us. She hears herself playing to Beethoven's ears in a journey floating on the air and through the years and says "thank you sir".
@@nahumnigelfroumin3918 perfect and poetic explonation for a perfect masterpiece rendition. I wish I had found your words to tell how I love this concerto played by this young goddess of music
Her "it's all yours now" nod to the orchestra at 1:46 is perfectly captured! As well as her "I am one with Beethoven-- across 200 years" at 15:20! Simply stunning.
The nod is to the Conductor; to gesture to the orchestra itself, bypassing the "Dirigent", would be very bad etiquette. The orchestra works for him, not the soloist.
@@PaulZink I disagree..... that's why it's called a Piano Concerto, it's a work for ORCHESTRA and a solo instrument, her purpose is to be ONE with the orchestra which includes the conductor. Therefore her gesture toward the orchestra is an extension of her part as a soloist, to bring Unity between the two. Just observe Khatia Buniatishvili and how she "passes the performance over to the orchestra continually as well as moving in sync and unity with the conductor". We are living in 2022 and performance etiquette has dramatically evolved with the likes of Eliane Rodrigues, Khatia Buniatishvili, Rosalía Gómez, and many other concerto soloists who bring humanity and life to their performances instead of stiff upper lip tradition!
Le chef cameraman connaît la musique. Il sait où capter l'image, quand, et comment. Il sait saisir l'espièglerie du visage de la pianiste dans les moments de haute voltige, tout comme le chef d'orchestre. C'est là que l'on reconnaît l'excellence et la qualité des vrais mélomanes. Grandiose spectacle.
At last I hear a pianist who does not land Beethoven 5 like a ton of bricks upon the listener! There are so many different moods in this concerto, and it is a relief to hear Ms Gómes Lasheras enjoying them to the full!
Her obvious enjoyment of the piece is one of many high points in this performance. This performance is destined to become a "go to" standard on RU-vid. ❤❤❤
The combination of a Swiss-French Maestro, Spanish Virtuoso,with a masterly German orchestra performing one of the finest piano concertos by the world's greatest German composer = BLISS!
It does not seem so happy collaboration. There are times when the conductor trying to impose different rhythm and he seemed annoyed by frequent moments of lack of control of pianist. Nothing. The embrace of the end is hilarious
Rosalia Gomez Lasheras by far, has all the absolute attributes of a genius on the Piano! Her attire, posture, and Beauty is so unique that the Bar has been reached way above most all piano artist! She has set the appearance of what models every upcoming student on the Ivories which one will strive to achieve as their goal!
One of the very best recordings of a wonderful concerto. This stellar performance has life, soul and feeling, it even talks (if you listen), - absolutely outstanding. It warms my heart.
Estraordinario concierto, la energía y la sublime instrumentación musical, los movimientos, perfectos de sus notas que llegan a nuestra alma, y quedar anestesiados con toda su profundidad, y la genialidad del más grande compositor.
I think this performance is a milestone in the history of this piece. Great credits to the pianist. Keep discovering! The sensation is the orchestra being remote as possible from too many lame accompaniments of famous groups. Thanks to the conductor to the conductor to all the adventures. Dont listen to people who want to hear only what they are accustomed to
This is a less than mediocre performance. But feel free to stick with this pianist's performance. I keep with Michelangeli/Celibidache, Emil Gilels, Wilhelm Backhaus etc. For you, to nullify these giants in favour of this kid is only proof of your infantile and imbecilic mindset. Have a nice day.
Bei meinen Streifzügen durch RU-vid komme ich immer wieder auf Rosalías unvergleichliche Interpretation von Beethoven 5 zurück. Sie ist für mich nach wie vor das Optimum dessen, was man mit dieser Musik ausdrücken kann. Künstlerisch absolut hochstehend und doch sympathisch lebensnah!
Die Vielzahl ihrer Bewunderer beweist es: Rosalías phänomenales Spiel spricht nicht nur den Kunstverstand der Menschen an, sondern berührt auch ihre Herzen.
Seit meiner frühen Jugend, in der ich noch die großartige Pianistin Elly Ney auf dem Konzertpodium bewundern durfte, hat mich keine Beethoven-Interpretation so nachhaltig beeindruckt wie die von Rosalía Gómez Lasheras.
I've just spent several hours listening to many versions. There are many great pieces but I believe we have found a new magician for Beethoven's 5th Piano Concerto. Wonderful.
40 minutes of Beethoven perfection from all the performers. It doesn't get any better than this. If I had to save one disc from the waves on Desert Island Discs, it would be this piano concerto.
I usually do not listen to Beethoven except for some pieces I’ve been accustomed to since childhood, but I am suddenly fascinated by this performance guided by the RU-vid algorithm. Although I know this piece, this is the first experience for me. Beautiful!
Magnificant! I have heard the Emperor played numerous times in concert halls across America and Australia. What RU-vid gives me is a closeup view of the musicians at work, which I have never been able to capture in the concernt venues.
Wow, what a great performance. Her smiles seemed to make the music seem so delicate and light. I love to be able to watch the artist play. It makes another dimension to the enjoyment.
Rosalia Gomez Lasheras has surely made her position as an excellent pianoplayer and let us hope she will continue her excellent professionalism in playing more superb concertos! She has obviously a exceptional talent.
My thoughts exactly and then I noticed the advanced age of most of the audience. Either, they'd forgotten their hearing aids or everyone's arthritis was flaring up. I've heard this piece many times but none have come close to creating such a magical experience. Wish I had been there.
I can see how stunned the audience must be as everything I return to the wholeness of alpha & amega of this performance the awe of joy of exuberance of appreciation of perfection is an absolute jaw dropper
Aussi agréable à regarder qu'à entendre. Pleine d'assurance à l'égal de la maîtrise de son art. Elle vit sa musique et sait s''en amuser avec jusqu'à l'espièglerie par le sourire. Performance exceptionnelle. Bravo Rosalia pleine de jeunesse et de vigueur ! Quel talent !
So lovely to hear an 'Emperor' played without resorting to the sledgehammer technique - beautifully articulated, crystal clear. (Sound engineers deserve a lot of credit too - the balance is spot on).
Quite right, and without the histrionics we often see, especially from young artists who seem to need to prove something. She looks like she's having a great time and almost makes this gargantuan piece look easy.
Agree with you there. She has the most lovely, tasteful sound. But it is still dynamic and vital. Such a nice change from the shredders and crash-bangers who smash the piano to bits trying to over-play.
What makes this recording so special for me is not just its quality but the very obvious love, joy and enthusiasm Rosalía has in playing the piece. I share that love for this wonderful piece of music.
Nu, e o excursie organizata pentru pensionari, care sunt obositi (vezi cei din primele randuri, care motaie), si oricum, nu au habar de muzica. Aplauda ca asa li se pare.
Amazing and elegant performance.Her hands and long fingers were designed to play the piano. Nice body choreography and posture.You've got a fan Rosalía!
Ascult acest concert in diferite interpretari de cca 50 de ani si mereu imi pare ca-l ascult prima oara.Aceasta muzica vine din sferele inalte ale eternitatii de aceea aduce de fiecare data bucurie si noi energii benefice
Die unvergleichliche Frische und Gemütstiefe, mit der Rosalía hier Beethoven erklingen läßt, ist wie ein Jungbrunnen, ein Labsal für Geist und Psyche in dieser trüben Zeit.
You know, I just love it when a really wonderful young pianist gives me the gift of hearing a very familiar, famous piece as though I’ve somehow grown new ears....it happened some years ago with a young Hélène Grimaud playing Beethoven’s 4th Concerto (Orchestre de Paris, Christoph Eschenbach, recorded at the 2001 London Proms, here on YT), and a very young Glenn Gould’s interpretation of this piece (with Leonard Bernstein and the New York Phil). I have to say that this young woman has done it again, with the Emperor Concerto, a piece I’ve heard more than 100 times! Ms. Lasheras has a fabulously fluid and precise technique paired with the kind of musicality and intelligence which makes her sound her own. This is really an amazing accomplishment, kudos to her!!
I enjoyed this very much. I've only recently discovered the Grimaud and Lascheras versions of the 5th and to me very different. I would like to hear from the connoisseurs what they think of the two versions of these two stunning- to-look-at ladies who seem to relax and enjoy the EMPEROR. Douw
@@douwmoller6456, I have been a follower of Helene Grimaud for many years and especially love her performance of this Beethoven’s 5th Concerto. She is known for her perfect technique and very singular interpretation of each work she plays. Grimaud has a sensitivity, warmth and vitality in all that she plays. She employs no gimmicks, no outlandish movements, or postures and course, a simple elegant, classy wardrobe. She has been on the concert tour for more than 30 years; and, now in 2023 at 53, she is considered one of the top ten pianists in the world. I do find a lot of similarities to Helene Grimaud in Rosalia Gomez Lasheras. I wish her much success as she grows in her career.
There are few if any words describing Beethoven’s genius as well as Rosalia’s. I never tire of listening such heavenly music while earthbound. Bravo Rosalia you make my spirit float from first to last note. May God keep on blessing your talent and genius.
Ive heard every major pianist play this concerto from Hofmann in the 40 and Moseiwitsch and everyone since but never have been so moved. Its not regal in the martial Napoleonic way im used to hearing it nothing like the masculinity of Richter ,Arrau , Gilels Gulda. But her phrasing , musicality, sound and impressive personality left an impression. The Emperor has never sounded so warm, friendly , lyrical . Id like to hear her in op. 78 79 and109. Is she a fire reathing virtuoso . Hear Zim merman, Sokoloff even Uchida very different . If she comes to Florida I'm there . Gomez-Lashera is unforgettable!
Ever a concert or an orchestral work is played I ever give my like! It's impossible for a musician do a dislike on a concert or virtuosistical piece...
Splendida esecuzione del n.5 per intensità e bravura assoluta della pianista con ottima orchestra, ottimo suono e ottime riprese video. Un piacere sentire e vedere!!!
Quintessential Western art at its finest--superlative and culturally unsurpassed. And, of course, the epitome of Western musical instruments, the piano expressing one of the greatest pieces ever composed played by a gifted interpreter.
Watch this recording gradually seep into the top 20 reference recordings of Op 73. Rosalia Lacheras is an international treasure, this is artistically suoerb and Lope has exceptional control of (and connection with) the orchestra. In fact interplay between soloist and himself is maybe the most sympathetic I've seen, leading to perfect timing; particularly the tricky transition to the 3rd movement. Fantastic job.
Wow! What feel and touch. The orchestra and conductor click into another level only when she starts playing and gets them deep into the right place emotionally when they hear her. It won't be easy to find a better piano performance of this in recent times. Powerful stuff.
Precision, clarity, sensitivity, perfectly dosed energy. Sublime! What an artist! Beautiful in every way! You've just earned a life-long admirer, Señorita Rosalia.
