Grieg: Klavierkonzert ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Jan Lisiecki ∙ Alain Altinoglu 

Wenn man als alter Klassikfan schon so verwöhnt von großartigen Aufführungen ist, denkt man eigentlich, was kann da noch kommen? Nach den großen Pianisten, angefangen mit Rubinstein, Arrau, Richter, Pollini, Agerich etc. Doch ich bin unglaublich froh, dass solch ein wunderbares Talent, wie dieser Stern von Jan Lisiecki aufgegangen ist. Überhaupt gibt es nun viele seiner Generation, die die klassische Musik hervorragend interpretieren. Lisiecki ist nicht nur eine Ohren-, sondern dazu noch auch eine Augenweide. Es klappt alles hervorragend mit dem Orchester, was auch kongenial spielte. Es ist eine Freude so große junge Leute zu wissen, die die klassische Musik in Extraklasse auf so kongenialen Niveau weiter vertreten, wie ihre großen Vorgänger. Bravo, Bravissimo!

Underrated, so underrated, this is a spectacular performance, should have know this pianist earlier. If one day I'll play this song, he will be the one I follow

Utterly sublime, the music, the orchestra and that incredible young pianist. How fortunate we are to be able to share this experience in our own homes. Thank you so much.

Man wird einfach NIE vom hr-Sinfonieorchester enttäuscht! 👏 Einfach eine technische und musikalische Glanzleistung! ❤

Brilliant pianist, getting hotter and better with every bar as the concert progresses.

Великолепное исполнение!!!! Браво!!!! Слушаю по кругу уже в 100500 раз:)))))

I’ve just got to listen the first few accords - and immediately recognize how great and musically authentic this concert must have been. Just wonderful. Jan Lisiecki’s musical expression is superbly balanced, elegant, yet heartfelt, caring to deliver the sublime beauty of this masterpiece of Edward Grieg. The sound of this orchestra is absolutely wonderful. In every nuances love and beauty radiating through. Number one for me. Thanks for sharing this record. ❤️🌹🙂🙏🏻

Absolutely love the tempo in the 3rd movement yessssss well done❤️❤️ thanks Frankfurt Radio Symphony

What a great composition, what a great performance, have fun guys & discover the Grieg universe because this gorgeous indeed, let only music rule the world and let it sound just this good ❤🎉❤

Amazing Jan Lisiecki's performance with orchestra 🎵🎶🎹👏👏🫶🏻💖💯🔥🌹🌸🌼🌺🌷 Lovery his performance to me 🥰💖

This is one of my favorite music that I bought the CD when I was young. I listened to it over and over again. I find that the way of expressing music is quite different depending on the circumstances of who performs, when, where, and with what intent. I am intrigued by the uniqueness of the piano at the beginning, and my interest do not diminish until the end. This performance reminds me once again of the beauty of music, which is not the same no matter who plays it, and can only be experienced at that moment. Thank you so much.

Bellissimo! Di Grieg conoscevo solo alcuni pezzettini del Peer Gynt. Eccezionale il pianista!

While still a young man, Edvard Grieg enjoyed spending time in Denmark. In fragile health, he lived there with more tranquility and a free state of mind to compose and wander as he pleased. The Concerto begins with a quasi-piano monologue on the Allegro molto moderato. Useless of tender the ear, this introduction is in everyone's memory, in the popular unconscious, one of the most famous themes in the world. The violins discreetly surround the undulations of the piano and rise to the main syncopation worked to perfection by the pianist. In this sonata we hear the gentle song of the rivers arriving quietly in the waters of the fjord, we can distinguish the large conifers lining the coast, their proud stature made to resist the most violent elements. A landscape revealing all the magic of Norway, whose traditional accents in second and then descending third are respected. Expertly executed, we sometimes touch on dissonance but never reach it. The woodwinds and brass take over and bring the melody to its point of equilibrium. The soloist, as usual, frees himself from certain portions while brilliantly restoring the magic of the work, deserving his status as a great interpreter of romanticism. The Allegro then begins in an equally passionate manner. At times, we are very close to the themes of Beethoven or Brahms, the Scandinavian beauty in no way resembles that of great Germany. More discretion, of restraint, the piano cautiously leads the progressive rise of the woodwinds, then leads to a superb variation of the first theme. Although solitary, the piano is joined by the horns in an overflowing lyricism. We feel the underlying orchestra, close to explosion at times, but in complete control. It leads without transition to the incandescent theme of the Allegro moderato molto e marcato, phenomenally evocative and which clearly announces the rest of the composer's prestigious career. Magnificent in immaculate light, the unleashing of the symphonic unfolds, leaves the virtuoso portions at the piano then continues with astonishing modernity the energetic themes. The flute calms the Viking ardor in an instant to tend towards a dreamlike image, then the piano takes over in a beautifully held Andante. The criticism imposes herself. It is certainly a youthful piece but above all it is genius in its purest form, and only admiration is appropriate here. This concerto by Edvard Grieg is a major work of the 19th century. What magnificent music! *Lucien*

Excellent performance ❤❤❤❤❤😊😮

Lange, zu lange nicht gehört. Herzlichen Dank für diese Wiederbegegnung mit einem guten, alten Freund.

Beautifully executed. He served to concerto

I find Jan Lisieckis playing very nuanced, and he uses the diminuendos to get a greater dynamic feeling in this music. Especially in tne slower parts I have never heard such a nice expression of this music. I highly appreciate his playing. BRAVO!

such a powerfur performance! this gave me energy to begin today's work.

Timbro del pianoforte magnifico, nitido e smagliante.

Vielen Dank für einen weiteren tollen Auftritt des Pianisten Jan Lisiecki mit dem fantastischen Maestro Alain Altinoglu. 🌷🌷🌷 (Holland)

Genial, ...

An excellent performance of the beautiful Grieg masterwork. Thanks for sharing.

What a marvel! Everything is there: the passionate cadenza of the first movement, the poetry of the Adagio, the explosion of the finale, and (in a companion video) the exquisite encore. Bravo, Jan!

Wunderschöne und farbenreiche Aufführung dieses nordisch doch perfekt komponierten Klavierkonzerts mit klar doch dynamisch artikulierten Tönen des virtuosen Solopianisten, perfekt abgestimmten Tönen des erfahrenen hr-Sinfonieorchesters und klugem Dirigat des genialen Dirigenten. Der erste Satz klingt besonders dynamisch und auch spannend. Im Kontrast klingt der zweite Satz besonders ruhig und auch tröstend. Wahrlich wunderbar!

Wunderbar, Jan Lisiecki singt auf dem Klavier! Er ist der ideale Interpret für dieses Konzert, der Anschlag ist weich und hart, und sehr sehr ausdrucksvoll und differenziert. Besser kann man es nicht machen!

Wunderschöne Aufführung dieses spätromantischen und nordisch komponierten Meisterwerks mit klarem doch elegantem Klang des genialen Soloklaviers sowie gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt melodisch. Im Kontrast klingt der dritte Satz echt lebhaft und auch überzeugend. Der intelligente und ebenso geniale Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester im gut analysierten Tempo und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Faszinierend vom Anfang bis zum Ende!

My music professor took me there, thanks

GREAT!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

My favorite piano concierto.❤ It's the best piano/orchestra piece in the world, in my opinion. ❤

Beauty and the beast .. ❤

Great rendition of Grieg. It is not my favorite concerto, but Lisiecki gave a commendable performance. I'm so happy to see a new generation of pianists come of age.

As a swede I cannot enough admire this norwegian music played by a canadian pianist. We living up in the north have to stay together!

Großartig!

Jan Lisiecki is the Jannik Sinner of Classical music 😂
