His singing is of a rare emotion, the poetic intuition is permanent.Claudio Arrau is of an unequalled nostalgia. He is supported by Giulini who is of a great expressive and stylistic beauty, he makes the luminosity of each theme sensitive by a sovereign balance between rhythmic base and eloquence of the melody.

I think that the new mastering that is reported to have been done in the year 2020 for these concerts, provides a cleaner sound of the old recordings, with almost no distortion, with improved balanced volume, and, altogether making the musical achievements that the original recordings were, into an extraordinary product in both concerts. What before sounded outstanding in the piano playing of Master Arrau, and in the great orchestration in the hands of Conductor Giulini, now sounds masterfully perfect and a greater pleasure in the listening. Both, Conductor Giulini and Concert Master Arrau, and the Philharmonia Orchestra holding it all together, in my opinion, make this new improved recording an unbeatable combination.
It is vitally important to keep Maestro Arrau's legacy alive. Thank you to everyone who does so. He gave (and continues to give) so much to us. We owe it to him to honor him, his vast contributions to all that is beautiful and worthwhile, to celebrate his fervent, unique artistic expression and interpretation. Viva Claudio Arrau!
Version de référence absolue pour les 2 concertos de Brahms et particulièrement le 1er qui est absolument unique de ferveur et d'intensité, Arrau y est absolument souverain et Giulini lui tend un tissu orchestrale fabuleux avec le merveilleux Philarmonia Orchestra, tous en état de grâce et surtout merci à Brahms pour un tel chef d'œuvre absolu
El gran Claudio Arrau, tras su muerte quedő catalogado entre los mejores pianistas de todos los tiempos. Descanse en paz en el cielo entre coros de ángeles? ❤❤❤
My first experience playing the two Brahms concertos were with Arrau. I had never heard them before and I was playing in my first professional orchestra at 17. We started with Brahms Academic Overture and then…the magic began. He played Brahms 1 in the first half and Brahms 2 in the second half. It was completely life changing.
Wonderful! Indeed it is amazing that some people, an unnamed very famous British composer who shall remain unnamed here included, said Brahms was a terrible composer! I imagine they didn't like being moved since this music utterly transports one
Claudio Arrau, el más grande intérprete de todos los tiempos. Hasta sus 80 años domino un amplio repertorio musical. Magnífico en su técnica de ejecución. Desde chile con todo el cariño. Gracias Maestro, descansa en paz.
Come on! Not true! Arrau is one of the greatest! More colorful beautiful piano sound than Arrau=Emil Gilels Wilhelm Kempff Radu Lupu Artur Rubinstein Vladimir Ashkenazy! More genius than Arrau=Sviatoslav Richter Solomon Cutner Grigory Sokolov! More powerful louder than Arrau=Mikhail Pletnev( Prokofiev piano concerto no 1 by Pletnev!) The second loudest was Lazar Berman! The best Brahms piano concerto no 1 players are Really=Radu Lupu with the Finnish Radio Symphony video youtube from 1996! Radu Lupu had the most colorful piano sound for Brahms no 1! Radu Lupu more warmer piano sound than Arrau! Radu Lupu more relax than Arrau! The second best Brahms no 1 is Maria Grinberg from 1963! The best Brahms concerto no 2 players are Really=Sviatoslav Richter! Richter more monumental and better structure for music than Arrau! Edwin Fischer from 1942! Fischer more genius than Arrau! Grigory Sokolov his Brahms concerto no 2 had the best piano sound better than Arrau! Sokolov his rhythmic vitalness is unbeatable! Sokolov more Titanic than Arrau!

Giulini was such a great interpreter of Brahms. The orchestral part is completely symphonic, and Giulini handels it fabiously. I heard the second concerto for the first time in Jerusalem with Arrau and the IPO in the late fifties. I was just overcome with this exceptual work
This is an extraordinarily fine recording. Both conductor, orchestra and soloist reach almost unbearable levels of angst and lyricism. Excellent remastering as well. Bravi tutti.
Thanks Classical Music for this remastered version of an historic recording. Arrau plays in a different way than his Beethoven, he becomes with Brahms a tragic romantic, his emotion is magical and overtaking. The deep tristesse of Brahms is not effaced by the epic volume of the orchestra. A truly romantic rendering of a great romantic work.
This is such an in-depth interpretation and a epic vision of these most wonderful concertos, in as far as one can call them concertos (I wonder if anyone has made a arrangement of them without the piano part and changing the piano part into orchestral part). Brahms was perfect for CA style of playing with his huge range of colors and emotional and intellectual depth. I have always treasured his recordings from the moment I heard Beethovens Waldstein and Les Adieux sonatas and was blessed to hear him play live and all Beethoven program. It was a revelation for me. I do feel he is a little bit forgotten, at least one doesn’t hear him mentioned often. But most definitely among the giants of last century classical piano playing.
The marketing folks have to push their latest product. And there's often a new artist with something to say. But the past masters were so for good reason. Which is why THIS CHANNEL is so vitally valuable to remind us of past glories. Like this one
Arrau would not be forgotten. Just as Schnabel, Cortot, Backhaus would not be forgotten. Because they experienced and expressed the classical periods classical music was the main stream of music.
NOT TRUE! Claudio Arrau not The greatest Best Brahms piano Concertos 1-2 player!

Wunderschöne und detaillierte Interpretation dieser zwei majestätischen und perfekt konstruiierten Konzerte mit klarem doch warmherzigem Klang des unvergleichlichen Soloklaviers sowie gut harmonisierten und perfekt vereinigten Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Der ebenso unvergleichliche Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester in relativ langsamen Tempi und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Mehr als wunderbar!

I have come to Arrau only recently and it was through my love of Chopin. I will not give up my other recordings of the Nocturnes, but I quickly got a 2nd hand CD available of Arrau, after hearing it through this channel. As if a different piece altogether! I'm not generally a Brahms-fan; too buttoned-up for my taste, but the 2nd Piano Concerto holds a place in my heart. And I LOVE this recording!! The word poetic is used bu someone in a comment here, and I can only second that.

¡Muchisimas Gracias!. Desde niño he admirado profundamente al Maestro Arrau, siempre ha sido un gran deleite escuchar sus interpretaciones. Nuevamente, gracias.
Más que por la calidad de la remasterización, les agradezco por recordarme el haber escuchado en directo al maestro Claudio Arrau en su última venida a Santiago, el año 1984, en el Municipal con este mismo Opus 15, pero junto a la Filamónica en el Teatro Municipal con Juan Pablo Izquierdo, y en la Catedral Metropolitana, con los Conciertos Opus 58 y 73 de Beethoven, en ese caso acompañado por la Sinfónica y el recordado don Víctor Tevah; recuerdo también cuando en 1961, una de la revistas musicales especializadas nos recomendaba, ante otra versión similar, esperar un tiempo por esta versión de don Claudio pronta a aparecer en el mercado discográfico. Felicitaciones
@@alejandroarrau2112 Alejandro, en cuanto a mejores versiones, yo soy de la idea que cada pianista y en cada ejecución da lo mejor de sí, y de las 3 que tengo por Claudio Arrau, no podría especificar cual es mejor que otra. Gracias.
Muchas Gracias por compartir estas dos obras de arte, patrimonio de la humanidad. Muchas Gracias por el excelente trabajo que realiza. Saludos afectuosos desde México.
우선 피아노와 관현악의 조화가 이렇게 하나가 되다니 그저 놀랍씁니다 아라우의 무개감있는 연주는 이곡에 진저한 의미를 낫낫히 나타내고있씁니다 저 멀리 독일의 자연과 인생의 의미를 이렇게 표현한 브람스는 천재를 뛰어넘어 인류의 보편적인 감성을 이렇게도 아름답게 나타넸씁니다 아라우와 줄리니의 조화는 최상이라고 단언 합니다 그리고 모든 브람스 피아노 협주곡중에서도 단연 왕자의 자리에 오를수있는 연주라 생각합니다
Here I hear true Brahms which surpasses even also the slow version of Glenn Gould with Bernstein. The relation between the notes in the dynamic and the tempo create an until now unsurpassed expression reach in colors and musical narration.

Obrigado a este prestigiado canal por trazer até nós essas gravações históricas desses dois grandes consertos para piano e orquestra! Verdadeiros clássicos do repertório para piano!
Extraordinaire, presque aussi beau que les versions de Curzon. J'aime aussi les enregistrements publics avec la NDR et Schmidt-Issersdt, magnifiques. Merci infiniment !
@@rinacravero Je ne dirais pas ça pour Brahms, mais en revanche je reconnais que Arrau est plus régulier que Curzon et qu'il est incontestablement meilleur dans la musique de Beethoven, Schumann ou Liszt.
J'aime trop Brahms je suis amoureuse de lui et de ses oeuvres Qu'elle puissance dans ses compositions Et surtout quand c'est joué a Metveille comme ici
Brahms was called the Messiah of the classical music grandiose repertoire of excellence after Beethoven....Brahms has a German Reformation Protestant religious historical background related to Martin Luther... Claudio Arrau a legendary best pianist of Latin Chilean German origin related to the Divine Western Judeo Christian moorings who is the exponent of Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Brahms and Debussy a philosophical prince of Steinway piano... Claudio Arrau has Buddhist philosophical orientation and Catholic comprehension because of the French beautiful impressionist Debussy....Carlo Maria Giulini is of the Vatican Roman Catholic empire from Italy related also to the Divine Western Judeo Christian moorings...
I prefer Helene Grimaud’s performance of Brahms Piano Concertos 1 and 2. She has a light touch in the parts requiring ease and a firm, strong touch, but not a heavy banging to those sections that require firmness. Her technique is without equal and she brings just the right amount of passion and sensitivity to both pieces. She is never overwhelmed by the orchestra, they work as one.
Quel dommage! A l'origine, sur la version analogique on entend Carlo Maria Giulini scander en dirigeant la musique de Brahms à son orchestre comme habité! Il reste mon maestro préféré!
Me parece que hay un error en las fechas de grabación con el Maestro Guilini, el concierto N°1 fue grabado en 1961 y el concierto N°2 en 1964 . Pocos años después hizo las grabaciones para Philips con Bernard Haitink (1969).
Arrau is not a pianist that I ever liked. I find his performances too controlled but this Brahms d minor concerto is up there that of Gilels and Gelber

Very much the same. I respect Arrau's meticulousness a lot, but this is one of the rare instances where his super deliberate playing actually really works for me.
Claudio Arrau está entre los mejores pianistas del siglo xx, en una lista que incluso se encuentra Sergiei Rachmaninov. La herencia musical de Arrau viene de su maestro Martin Krause, maestro y pianista alemán que fue discipulo de Franz List, a su vez List fue discipulo de Karl Czerny y este fue discípulo de nada menos que Ludwig van Beethoven. Por su parte Johannes Brahns es uno de los más grandes músicos del romanticismo clásico, compositor , pianista y director de orquesta. Como puedes ver tu comentario es de ignorante por decir lo menos.
No one forces you to listen to a work of a composer you dislike. Instead you could listen to something else, and save yourself and the rest of us from your toxic comments.
