Daniel Barenboim & Giuseppe Mentuccia on Beethoven’s Piano Sonatas (1/4) 

Difficult choice but 32 stay from another world. N 10 for the original humorous end of each movement N 8 is so great too

It totally blew me away in the first listening

Indeed he is, hands down

@@khann2159 He is the best at anything he does ( plays) or conducts. ANN

@@anntietema1869 absolutely

Why?

@@johannesporphyrius5739 because I have the 2 disc CD. 😉. I would surely pick at least a few of his efforts out of a dream team of Beethoven piano works done so far.

Legend of 1900! Great movie

Wow impressive. It is a hard piece. Good luck!

See you in 3 years!

But so incredibly difficult to play 😢

Yes, I believe that there was a set on youtube a while back with david kadouch and lang lang on beethoven

There is a great series that Andràs Schiff did, in which he talks about all of the 32. Very insightful and very entertaining!!

@@ojwgrey5039 Thank you

At least we didn’t have to hear the other guy say Bethòven over and over.

En la vejez casi todos los maestros hacen eso: en vez de conversar, dan clases. Yo lo acepto siempre que sea provechoso lo que se dice, aunque resulta un tanto incómodo.

Well, one thing is for sure: Giuseppe is such a great listener... 😁

Check Wim Winters Chanel. Double Beat is the authentic way to play Beethoven. Using this practice, all that Beethoven indicated becomes possible to accomplish. And all the details in the score that people ignore, you will have to follow.

@@roberacevedo8232 I know him. He tells nonsense and nothing he advocates is reliable nor based on historical sources

The ONLY thing he does is advocate using historical sources. When was the last time people take account the mm given by the composers? When was the last time someone gave a solution to the broken metronome or target speeds? When was the last time Moscheles inegalite was used to perform music? Nonsense is the moron that has an imaginary figure in his head that’s better than any of us today based on what? Absolutely nothing

You are either for DB, or believe in something that can not be physically done. End of story.

@roberacevedo8232. Yes I see it’s been three years, but supporting Wim Winters’ channel is a serious mistake and needs to be criticized over and over again. Of course, Wim Winters doesn’t familiarize you woth old written sources that don’t support the theory he himself believes in. Sometimes WW manipulates and censors its listeners. Such a practice is not approved on a scientific level, therefore WW’s research is not always scientific either. AuthenticSound: Bethoven Sonata no 9 opus 14/1 - Historical Tempo Reconstruction. The signature «MatthieuStepec» quote: «Oof, this first movement really falls apart completely. Another great example of how double beat doesn’t work!» Wim Winters,quote: «yeah, how about the fact that in SBT it isn’t even playable». WW double beat tempo first movement: 13:43. Single beat tempo: 6:51 After half an hour on RU-vid, I got this result: M. Korstick, 5:45. Annie Fischer, 5:50. Igor Levit, 6:05. R. Buchbinder: 6:11. Jumppanen, 6:15. Sokolov, 6:18. Yokoyama 6:31. L Schwizgebel: 6:32. Barenboim, 6:45. All examples with repetition. Because I am banned from writing comments on his channel, I do not get the opportunity to present what I just show you. Moreover - there are several people who are not allowed to write comments on his channel, so important information you will not get to know. Hee is a source from 1817 describing the metronome in single beat tempo: «Thus,[minim]60 Maelzel’s Metronome means, that the minim in the movement to which it is prefixed, should be a second or the sixtieth part of a minute, or that sixty minims should be performed in one minute». I won’t bother you anymore this time, I know it doesn’t help, you prefer to support WW’s manipulations further. But ask yourself, roberacevedo: Are you really such a person who supports manipulations and censorship?

Wich one? Because his accents sound as the one a native spanish speaker in the Rio de la Plata dialect, who moved to Israel at 9 and had to speak hebrew and learnt german as a teen, later french and just then english (wich isn't the one he used the most because german is pretty much the lingua franca in the classical world + where he worked the most) would sound.

Wim Winters & , so called. ‘Authentic Sound ‘ caters for people with limited knowledge or ability in music. It is full of historical inaccuracy, technical inaccuracies & promotes lifeless academic ‘performances ‘ from himself or accomplices posing as ‘historical reconstructions’. He demeans great music, either wilfully or through ignorance, to promote himself. Immediately any historical facts are presented that challenge his beliefs they are deleted & the sender is banned from making any further comments. I know, because I presented historical evidence contradicting his beliefs & discovered my comments were only appearing on my computer (shadow banning). Such fraudulent use of music & history needs to be exposed.

As a composer myself, that is something that me and other composers I know usually do. Unfortunately, there are a lot of limits in writing music so it won't be written perfectly and, also, the idea of attaching my works to historical performances sound terrible because it would limit my work so much. Historical accuracy is overrated and I wish the fact that it is mainstream will die soon, while remaining only for people who are intrested in that specifically.

8LyJu8. Just make the musicians aware of your view at the beginning of all your compositions, it sure will go well. As for Beethoven, we know that he was meticulous about how his compositions were performed. There is nothing wrong with restoring old music, but it becomes difficult when the old sources are interpreted so differently.
