Brahms, Variations on a theme by Haydn for two pianos, op. 56b 

Eu amei e relembrei quando participava de um duo pianistico Ana Maria (eu) e Eliana Cutrim na década de 80 e tocamos essa obra.Parabens a vocês que foram maravilhosas

I think this piece, in this version, is one of the pinnacles of human achievement, right up there with Le nozze di Figaro, the pyramids, and Hamlet. It's one of the few things in this world that gives me hope for the species.

Un chef-d'oeuvre de J. Brahms ! Magnifique interprétation ! 👍😊😊😊😊😊

I walked down the isle when I got married to this piece. No Here comes the Bride in our church and it was perfect. Of course it was only the beginning that played.

First time I've heard this since I played it with Elizabeth Waight at Queen Mary College, London, in 1964. The pinnacle of my classical piano career. 52 years ago alas.

Love so much, Brahms forever.....

Some of the posts here refer to this as a piano arrnagement , but in fact it was composed before the orchestral version. I think it is more moving than the orchestral version. This is wonderful playing.

I have the Emanuel Ax performance of this work. Thank you for posting, just wonderful.

A WONDERFUL performance! Bravo! Music like this gives hope and optimism in an often bleak and brutish World.

Ha~i,Anastasia,Liubov♪ Bravo again as well as your performance of Mozart!!!☆ ①As you know, Whether the performance is successful or not depends on How gentle/merciful you begin to play (the first touch) and then you proceed to play in Magnificent. Such difficulties are well performed and cleared in your performance. ②You really understand and feel the image of music/tones the composer,Brahms felt and tried to design/express,I feels so.,but don't you? You moved me indeed. I appreciate you so much from heart^^

Magnificent performers. Beautiful composition. Hard to imagine a more enjoyable presentation by Liubov and Anastasia Gromoglasova.

I've known the orchestral version for years and thought the 2-piano version would be a pale shadow - how wrong! It is magnificent, and magnificently played here.

Lovely performance, wonderful sound.

These two deserved a bigger applause. And maybe a bigger hall.

Quisiera poner diez pulgares arriba para esta gran interpretación. Saludos y respetos desde Chile.

Wonderful pair and performance ! !

Thank you ladies. Beautiful.

Lovely!!!!!!!!!!

Spektakulär, wéi och schéin!

This performance is so good, but soo good that I recorded, converted to mp3 and now I listen to it on my Ipod. Bravo. You deserve 10 million views

I love remember this composition of Brahms.. I plyed with my friend Eliana the last time. Is very good.This interpretacion is wonderful.

C'est très beau. Bellissimo. Очень красиво сиграно. Bravo Nastya&Liuba !!!!!! Johannes Brahms would have been very happy to hear you.

You, ladies, are genuinely *amazing*!! This performance is simply perfect...

Gromoglasova　beatifull sounds!! thanks.

Fabulous.I play this piece on the pipe organ or the piano,but this is amazing on two pianos.WELL-DONE.

Belíssima interpretação do duo pianístico. Me deu muito prazer em ouvi-las.

Wonderful performance! Congratulations.

That applause was completely discombobulating.

What an elegant performance, and what wonderful co-ordination.

I find, as I get older, I like a lot of Brahms' work arranged as piano. Check out the Naxos series.

Loved it.

cool la video

Hail to Alma Mater We will sing thy praise forever All thy sons and daughters Pledge thee victory and honor Alma Mater Praise be thine May thy name forever shine Hail to purple Hail to white Hail to thee Northwestern

Well done. A lovely interpretation!

MAGNIFICENT

молодцы девушки!

素晴らしい❢

Meraviglioso, brave

Superbe, j'adore

abbiamo ascoltato un'esecuzione sensazionale di due Madonne della scuola russa

what tempo are you playing this at? i am playing it for my high school band audition on bassoon

5:55 ❤❤❤❤❤

good

Bravo Um abraço aqui do Brasil.

この曲の真髄を聴くには、セル/クリーブランドの演奏に止めを刺す。二台のピアノ合奏では足りない。

Nowadays it's called the St Anthony Variations, as musicologists now think that Haydn never wrote the theme. This is called Variation No 56b, and the orchestral version (written later) is 56a.

Brahms is often the most unappreciated composer, orchestrator, etc.

Well, variation nr. 7 is definitely better with orchestra, but the rest are great on pianos.

Why not from memory? The variations on a theme of Handel (for solo piano) are always played from memory. Is this piece a lot harder than the Handel? (I don't think so !!!)
