the one who shouts BRAVO! at the end is my dad, or at least he told me so. he was in this audience and is a great lover of gulda (so am I)...and he couldn't hold it back :-D magnificient clearness and power withour loosing the deep feeling!!
Mozart non è mai stato così pieno, luminoso, potente, maschio, sferzante e tridimensionale, a tratti beethoveniano, sotto il tocco unico, geniale, empatico, carismatico, moderno di Gulda. Sono certa che Mozart avrebbe amato di sentirsi eseguito così! ❤
D'accordissimo con lei! Gulda geniale anticonformista ed estroverso. Finalmente un Mozart " umano" e lontano dai salotti accademici... E poi..... Il 466 !!! Capolavoro unico...
Totalmente d'accordo con la sua analisi. Un Mozart più lontano dagli schemi, frizzante, vicino più agli animi che agli orecchi dei salotti. Per questo concordo sul discorso "a tratti Beethoveniano", risulta più potente e diretto seppur sempre nel suo neo classicismo
I actually believe this is how Mozart intended it to be, and this is the closest it could be to his intentions and the way he did it himself. The soft approach nowadays to Mozarts music doesn't make alot of sense, at Mozarts time there existed the Harpsichord, the clavichord and the fortepiano, all of these instruments were so bold, they produced a sound nothing like the modern piano. Having the modern piano roar like this is the most accurate depiction of Mozarts music using the modern piano.
I love this concerto so much, but my favorite movement is the 3rd and I especially like the ending part after the cadenza. It's my most favorite ending of any piece, simply majestic and spectacular!
The part of which you speak is the most clear expression of pure joy I have ever heard. My mind continues to be blown even though I've heard it hundreds of times.
Thank you so much for posting this!!! It's so wonderful to see Gulda enjoying himself, and in the process brings joy to all of us. RIP, Gulda. That's how one achieves immortality, in this case, both Mozart and Gulda.
This is one of the most beautiful concertos ever, conducted by one of the best interpreters of Mozart ever. I've bought tickets to see it live on Lisbon (Porto) in October! Can't wait! ;)
Un gran Concierto el número 20- K.466 de Mozart, un gran solista en una grabación genial en el año1986 con la Filarmónica de Münich, actuando como solista y director de la misma. La belleza del Rondó , último movimiento de este Concierto magistral, Friedrich Gulda, un conocedor de la obra Mozartiana en su total eligiendo "cadenzas" (parte en que el pianista toca sólo) difíciles, por su maestría como intérprete. En síntesis, "Donde mueren las palabras, comienza la música"
Gulda, es para mi una de las personas más impresionantes que el mundo pudo admirar, es una mezcla de naturaleza y rareza con excentricidad y sabiduria. Su vida fue tal que la musica supo llenarlo mucho mas de la cuenta.
Amo a Gulda y a su interpretación de las obras de Mozart. EXTRAORDINARIO. Se posesiona del piano como si fuera parte de él, o la extensión de su cuerpo. O se mete dentro de Mozart, como si fuera Mozart. Gracias, tguiot.
The magnificent Mr Gulda, conductor and soloist in a frenetically superb performance of Mozart's Piano concerto No 20 in d K466. Music from an orchestra that envelops the mind, with it's beauty and the excellence of its interpretation.
Excelente video y sonido., mérito de la emisión y demàs está decir la excelente inerpretacion de Gulda reviviendo la creación de mozart. felicitaciones y gracias.
He said that the audience certainly would understand how he got a little sweaty during this concerto. And while the black shirt would be befitting for the d-minor concerto, it would be a bad fit for the D-major concerto so he would now quickly disappear backstage for a wash and a change of shirt.
What a masterpiece. Imagine if the musicians of our day had to actually play instruments such as the piano to such perfection, hand write each nuance of the music, and have no computer to play it back or play during a live concert. Oh my god. There certainly would be no Nellie's or Lil, Waynes in this world. Give him a piece of paper and have him write something besides words, which everyone on the damn planet does. Big deal, have him actually write the musical notation of the theme to even a rap song. Not happening.
there's much more freedom in interpretation of classical music than one would think. Tradition gives us the basic ideas, and of course you have to respect it, and respect the score, but there's still much place for freedom of interpretation ! (not as much as in jazz of course ;-)
@sinancans FG was asking the audience for understanding that he started to sweat "a little", that the dark clothes only fit for a d-minor concert but not for a d-major, therefore he asks for 2 minutes of patience, so that "he can wash himself (!) and change clothes" that is really what he says. :-)
Cadencia, Gulda, = yo sí creo que él era la reencarnación de W A. Mozart!!. Dios le bendiga allá donde se encuentre .Solo hay que escuchar esta interpretación para apreciar y deleitarse en lo absolutamente evidengte.
although he fails on the climax (5:51) gulda was maybe the best mozart performer. and what to say about the concert? another masterwork of mozart, the greatest of them excepting number 25. thank you for posting it! i have it in cd but it´s great seeing him how much feels it.
Hi Signifer82. He says that he is wet through with perspiration and that his black clothing does not fit with the following D-MAJOR concerto. So he appologizes for going behind the stage in order to wash himself and to change clothes. That's it.
I read that he was Argerich's teacher for a while. Is this true? If it is, I can certainly hear him in her i.e. sort of direct aproach to the playing without frills, that can come across as aggressive at times. But I like it marvellously.
great interpretations proof music has no limit, Beethoven's cadenza, Mozart harmony... remember the Zauberfloete Pamina Sarastro duett is it love as lovers or father daughter? and just think... deep someonte told me jstly watch Mozart has no depth but he forgot this concert and some other works a kid having divine thoughts is God's intervention directly and it shows Goulda is daring to show it
for sure this would be great if we could learn classical improvisation again in conservatories, along with interpretation... we know all great composers were great improvisers themselves, why abandon this side of making music ? so i totally agree on that point, but i would still not leave aside interpretation
He says something like this: "Thanks a lot. Thanks a lot. You certainly will be understanding, that first of all I appear a little sweaty. And second, (something about different concerts I don't really understand). I ask for two minutes of patience, so that I can wash up in the middle and put on some different clothes." I hope that helps.
