Daniel Barenboim & Lang Lang - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Piano Sonata for two pianos in D Major K. 448 I. Allegro con spirito 00:00 II. Andante 08:20 III. Allegro molto 19:10
I had the pleasure of attending a concert in Jerusalem given by Lang Lang and Barenboim in early September 2005. It remains one of my fondest musical memories.
Great heavens, Lang Lang and Barenboim playing the K448 together! a Mozart lover's vision of heaven. How could this performance ever be bettered? thank you so much for posting.
Simply wonderful tunes from start to finish.Heard it before with Barenboim & Argerich performing extremely well together, but they both played on the same pianoforte.
Daniel Barenboïm & Lang Lang fraternisent, rivalisent d'esprit d'humour de fantaisie autour de cette remarquable sonate K448, seul le génie mozartien permet un tel duel musical entre 2 pianistes d'exception ... Bravo, Bravissimo dirait Dom Juan à Masetto!
Comme les premières lueurs d’un soleil bienfaisant, cette musique ouvre les yeux à de nouvelles promesses et à toutes les merveilles de la nature. Evocatrices de pouvoirs au-delà de l'observation, ces pièces tirent les ficelles du cœur, attirent les nostalgies et réveillent les amours, les vies écorchés et la torpeur des veilleurs tourmentés
Magnificent performance by two of the greatest pianists of our era. As for Mozart,, please your works are woven into the fabric of the universe as yet another gift from GOD to mankind. Thanks for sharing Sam.
Lang,Lang, you have so many amazing memories of musicians you have known& performed with(with whom you’ve performed). You must dream about these fabulous musicians! This was a perfect performance, Lang Lang!!
Eh oui ils viennent de le dire à la radio (France inter) : merveilleux si c'est vrai, lequel des mouvements a ce pouvoir ? Moi, je ne suis pas épileptique, chance. C'est sûrement bon pour mon cerveau, ça me va surtout droit au cœur
If only Mozart were alive to show us the tempo & what his intentions were for this masterpiece! As far as I'm concerned Alicia de Larrocha & Andre Previn's interpretation moves me like no other.
@@PS-kd1if if Mozart belongs to the Romantic period then shouldn't he live at least 1 year if not 5 years of the 1800s. Mozart literally died 9 years before the start of the 1800s.
This is great to have - two superb musicians relaxing and enjoying themselves. Must have been wonderful to be there. I still don't know a performance that matches Brendel and Klein: like four hands controlled by the same mind.
These two pianists have memorized monumental piano concerti. Surely, they could memorize a sonata by Mozart. I'm not suggesting that it's easy, but the communication between pianists is markedly improved when the work is memorized. Then again, they both have extremely busy schedules, thus there may simply be no time left in their busy workday to memorize this work. (?)
@@jeanpierredevos3137. Yes, that of the Jussen brothers I find it too technically perfect, only. Barenboim / Lang, two souls in conversation, Mozart speaking to us.
@@henryfrank7954 I disagree because I think that Mozart would have loved this technical perfection combined with a total understanding of Mozarts intentions but that is my personal opinion of course and you are entitled to yours. Barenboim in combination with Martha Argerich I like as wel but if their is one technical player on this planet with no hart for Mozart it is Lang Lang. Last year I listened to him in the concertgebouw in Amsterdam were he absolutely ruined a Beethoven concerto with a horrible interpretation and an idiot tempo. Never want to listen to this show player again in all my life.
As a none musician I have decided to listen to all the different pairings on this piece i can find and see if I notice the differences this is the first one I am trying since I started the experiment. Hope I learn something
This piece is especially difficult to perform because it relies on perfect player coordination to play large chords and tempo consistency. This performance isn’t great, but still by the masters!
@@SamuelProcopio To be fair it might be the mic placement (too close to the soundboard). They both sound loud to me and both pianos have an unpleasant percussive quality. Have you heard Rangell’s Goldberg? He searched for 5 years to find the piano and hall, and you’ll never hear a performance of anything you’ll enjoy so much as this.
@@SamuelProcopio And the unfortunate reality is that the pianist is limited by the instrument like no other musician. This is the secret of Rubenstein because he refused to play on any piano but his own. Then of course he couldn’t. Pianists are the greatest of all the musicians because they must be the greatest illusionists. Does anyone concur? The Golden Sound of Rubenstein’s Nocturnes. I’m sorry but no one has ever done Chopin so honestly, wrong notes and all, with no edits. He was a great soul who gave everything to his art.
Listen to the Jussen brothers in this Mozart masterpiece. Much better than this. Ensemble playing is a speciality. Lang Lang and Barenboim are individual masters but this is awful.
I'm sorry to have to say that, but compared to Barenboim/Lang Lang, listening to Jussen brothers' version was like listening to a midi file. Yes, technically better, but what makes the above so great and moving is precisely the "freedom" (including that of making technical mistakes) that the two maestros dare take in order to MOVE, rather than impress the local primary school music teacher.
@@inwchannel9756 ofcourse everyone has his own opinion. I think that they play so mutch better thogether than Barenboim and Langlang who play individuali. No ensemble playing and from a score. The brothers have no score. Last year i listened to Lang lang in planning Beethoven and hé made a Total mess of it. Very overrated pianist..
I don't have the chance to do so. Could you arrange it for me, if you could! Thanks so much. Anyway, if he really wishes to reach his audience, he should read this message!
