Yo-Yo Ma urges Leon Fleisher to play an excerpt from the Brahms Piano Concerto No. 1 to demonstrate rhythmic freedom within a measure of music. carnegiehall.org/workshops
Renowned pianist, conductor, and teacher Leon Fleisher led 16 young musicians in a weeklong exploration of the chamber music of Johannes Brahms for piano trio, piano quartet, and piano quintet May 3 -- 9, 2010. Mr. Fleisher was joined by special guest faculty cellist Yo-Yo Ma and violinist Pamela Frank providing a rare opportunity to see three masters coaching and playing together.
The workshop culminated in two performances in Weill Recital Hall on Saturday, May 8 and Sunday, May 9, 2010 featuring the Vox Piano Trio, The Jasper String Quartet with pianist Kyung Wha Chu, The Amici Piano Quartet, and the Hill Piano Quartet.

As soon as he began to play, I lost it . . . Fleisher's recording of the Brahms D Minor with Szell and the Cleveland is the greatest concerto recording I know. I had it on vinyl in the late 60's, and listened to it so many times I just about wore it out. So moving to hear him play that excerpt many years later, after so much had happened. Rest in Peace, Leon Fleisher.

This Brahms OP15 was also my favourite piece I listened to it continuously.The second theme brings me tears-wether in F or in D.

Fleisher's recording of the Brahms d minor concerto will remain one of the reference recordings forever along with those of Serkin, Gilels and Gelber. His performance of the 3rd movement is frightening powerful.

@terpfan1971 5 лет назад

I remember in the 90's at Peabody, Fleisher had many masterclass and the sound he made was just totally different from any of the students. So powerful and focused, that might be the reason he injured his hand.

Just feel it and see where it takes you. As you think more, you’ll know what comes next. Thank you, Mr. Fleisher, for the memory of just playing from memory from before you lost use of your right hand. He lived long enough to have it come back somewhat, and we are all the better for it. Now I know that in the Workd to Come there will be no more broken bones.

Can u imagine walking around and just being able to play any Beeth,Chopin,Brahms,sonata , variation ,concerto thousands of pages of music . He was famous for the d minor concerto . And the earlier you learn this music - it really is always there . Did he record the huge gorgeous no.2 also I wonder ?

@chuckselvaggio4884 4 года назад

Yes, he did. With George Szell as well well. It's wonderful.

Last Part Of John 8:11 his orchestral, ensemble and chamber music is slightly better than his solo piano work. There is something awkward and unnatural in his solo work (with the exception of the three Intermezzi Op. 117).

For me, as Fleisher began to play, I heard a cosmic connection between this music and the life of all of us, a connection from Brahms soul and the moment that soul connected to Fleisher's fingers and then connected to the Leon Fleisher's life, and then to us all. There was humor, humanity, tragedy and triumph: a beautiful experience--even on RU-vid! @UCmOUtZ_Mrotl5piqCbXYsvA

@@bsmusicd Yes, my point is that the Taubman Technique purports to prevent injuries like that.

@bsmusicd 4 года назад

It's not quite the whole story, however. Fleisher studied with Mrs. Taunman one-on-one and credits her with saving his right hand. But it wouldn't be accurate to say he was retrained in the Taubman approach. Rolfing, Feldenkrais, and botox shots were also part of his (partial) recovery. To her credit, I know several pianists who have fully recovered from FD. But they studied the Taubman approach for a far more significant period of time and went through full retraining.

@pianoman9685 4 года назад

No comment. Freedom the piano should always be played Spontaneously free when one can play. Sadly it's obvious how tight his hands and how unnatural they look placing the fingers. Tendinitis is because of forcing instead of understanding the movement needed to play freely and effortlessly as any piece even the most demanding should always be played of course following what the has sought out for you already.
