CHORAL FANTASY in C minor Op. 80 | Evgeny Kissin, Claudio Abbado, Cheryl Studer, John Aler (R.I.P.) 

Me too!

me too!!

His left hand is something else. Genius.

Apparently you do, otherwise you would not have written anything.

Abbado still remains more than beatiful!

También la Studer

La Studer también

Y no solo Kissin.

This is indeed a beautiful performance, but there is one with Martha Argerich and Seiji Ozawa that I particularly like. Wow. And she has one bandaged finger! See how the public applauds enthusiastically at the end and how she seems to find it... I don't know, as if to say, well, they seem to really have liked it, so I guess we'll come back and take another bow! She and Ozawa are priceless. Musical treasures.

@@fergusetnina I agree with you. Outstanding.

i agree also with a very good choir

Hello and greetings! German here, I still remember this magnificent concert very well. It was aired live from the Schauspielhaus in (East-)Berlin on december 31th in 1990, as the traditional New-Year's-Concert of the Berlin Philharmonic, under the baton of their then new chief conductor Claudio Abbado, if memory serves right. The program consisted of Beethoven works exclusively. Apart from the choral fantasy also the Great Leonora ouverture op.72a was played, as well as Beethoven's music for Goethe's tragedy "Egmont" op.84, with Bruno Ganz as recitator and Cheryl Studer as soloist. And I absolutely agree with you that Evgenj Kissin's version of the choral fantasy is the most excelent ever. And he was just 19 years, I guess, in any case still a teenager. The concert was published on CD a few weeks later with the title "Beethoven in Berlin", which I immediately purchased for myself. Still one of my favorite CDs.

Dear friend, the party in charge for including these avertisements are insulting the listeners. Eventually, no one gives attention to these averts.

doGreatartistsgrowontrees? Ganz richtig!!! Die Stimme und Technik dieser Sopranistin sind eindrucksvoll. Der Chor ist SUPER!! Vielmals Danke für den Kommentar.

Abbado one of the greatest ever!

Very well put; hervorragend 😆

It's actually a motive that Scarlatti uses in the opening of his K.49. I wonder if it was a source of inspiration for Beethoven, or if they both happened to come up with it independently.

¡Pero que 20 minutos!

In agreement that ads decidedly ruin the experience. They are a blatantly coarse, uncultured and vulgar expression of American capitalism at its naked worse. On the flip side, RU-vid offers a paid subscription model that is ad-free, I believe. But yet another monthly subscription expense? No way.
