Wunderschöne und detaillierte Aufführung dieser spätromantischen und perfekt komponierten Klaviersonate im gut betrachteten Tempo mit klarem doch warmherzigem Anschlag und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt detailliert. Wahrhaft intelligenter und genialer Pianist!

Listening to the end, where it mades me calm with peace, dreaming that the story behind this piece of 🎵 was ended with a path of smiles. God bless the soul of Brahms. Thank you so much. ( Some one just waiting for the end ).
Wonderful playing by Lars Vogt in this music, written when Brahms was only 20. And thanks for the introduction. Imagine this music played by Clara Schumann....I continue to listen!
How sad to hear that a great talent Mr. Vogt is not with us anymore. RIP. Also it helps to read the description which mentioned his passing in detail before commenting
A personal recollection... I first heard this sonata around the time of Chinese New Year in 1964, at the Masonic Hall in San Francisco. Traffic was terrible because of the celebrations in nearby Chinatown, and we had to take a taxi to the concert. I was in high school and attended, with my parents, a live concert by the great pianist Artur Rubinstein - a high schooler who preferred classical music to Rock & Roll! After the concert, we went out front to hail a taxi; when we looked to our right, we found ourselves standing next to Rubinstein himself, waiting for his own pickup! This would be unthinkable today; a celebrity pianist would be mobbed by fans and paparazzi. In the outer movements and scherzo, Rubinstein’s interpretation of this sonata was even more vigorous than Vogt’s, yet slower if that can be believed! My parents and I were amazed by the power of the scherzo! Some have said that this sonata is “a sprawling youthful work”; but to me I’ve always felt that this work seems to have the maturity of a composer at the height of his powers in his 50’s (though admittedly Brahms was only 20 when he composed this sonata!). It has been noted that the phrase in the Andante at 12:30 also appears in Wagner’s Die Meistersinger: whether either composer was aware of this coincidence is unknown. Though it seems unlikely that the two composers, often reported to be at loggerheads, would copy each other. But precedence would go to Brahms; he composed his sonata in 1853; Wagner premiered Meistersinger in 1868. Brahms is also quoted as saying “no one knows the score of Der Meistersinger better than I”. Did Brahms notice the appearance of his sonata phrase in Meistersinger? Unknown.
@@jawinter3371 i didn't say person, just his music i find too dense and unnecessarily complicated harmonically and melodically (unlike, say, Schumann's which I love)...like someone trying to pack too many things in a sentence and end up confusing people. I just do not find Brahms' music appealing to me and only me. if you love it that's fine.
Lars Vogt passed away on 5 September 2022, a few days before his 52nd birthday. By the way: We kindly ask viewers to read and stick to the DW netiquette policy on our channel: p.dw.com/p/MF1G
@@DWClassicalMusic dw 😒 sorry... I'm sure we're talking about what I had replied to a comment with.. ? It was just reference to his name. And my own. But I would like to think and raise "eyebrows"awareness about changing the world in the policies that they hold on certain types of things that are becoming once again legal and normalized in everyday life. Our mother giveth and thy father taketh away. My own beliefs are that I hold high and dear. No pun intended but I don't think I'll have a problem following the guidelines in the future either way. ✋🤞
I think the composition is nice, the performance felt lacking. Stiff. A lot of notes were choked. Rhythms stilted. Not just in a couple places but like all over and right from the beginning.
