Teatro La Fenice Musikàmera stagione di musica da camera alla Fenice 2017/18 Rafał Blechacz in recital Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Sonata No. 8 in A minor, K. 310 00:23 Allegro maestoso 05:59 Andante cantabile 15:47 Presto
I really loved Blechacz interpretation of this sublime Mozart Sonata. It felt, as through the piano he was telling a fascinating story, I could not but listen in awe.
This is a very good and touching interpretation.It depicts all the sorrow of Mozart for the death of his belowed mother during his stay in Paris.Bravo!!
Mozart indicated that this must be played "Allegro Maestoso". So why do they all rush? It's a grieving piece of music, written after the death of his mother in Salzburg, when he was away and feeling lonely in Paris.
thats what we say.. nevertheless lipatti is one of the greatest it begun to be a habit to mention his recordings always as the best interpretations of the pieces that he recorded and that is just overrating the things.. alone this sonata has so many different great approaches..some are going more for the big phrasings and some more for the details..its always a choice and each choice has its benefits.. the more you know about the art of interpretations, the more you will appreciate the specific benefits (and of course if you also want to see; the disadvantages) of a choice..there is and never will be the best interpretation of a piece
Howdy sista, i'am just 2 years younger than you and, yah, it so tired to learn a piece that is about 20 or more pages but, hey, keep going, don't give up, cause you can do it.
My only complaint is that the slow movement could have been slower and more expansive, with some breathing space - more introspective, and with sadness leading to anxiety and back to sadness. Mozart had just lost his beloved mother and was perhaps at the most tragic time of his life. He only wrote 2 sonatas in a minor - very significant! A slower tempo is crucial in achieving the foregoing temperament. Articulation is great though...
Most professionals seem to rush this movement like they want to get it over with and show off their dazzling technique again in the finale. This is a wonderful movement and sonata and it’s a joy to play.
These are the ones who are popular today. I think that the three greatest Pianists who are alive today or who were in the last 70 years, are Grigory Sokolov, Dang Thai Son, and the legend himself: Vladimir Sonfrinitsky
and what about Trifonov and Wang?! I am an estimator of Rafal, he is undoubtedly one of my favourite ones because of his unbelievable clear and calm touch and his respectful way of playing...but you can't forget other incredible artists in top10 nowadays
A nice performance. Why do most pianists play the grace note in the opening phrase as if they were playing Chopin? This is Mozart and, as with Haydn and Beethoven, ornaments should be played ON the beat, not before it. Otherwise, it screws up the rhythm of the music and makes it sound dainty and trivial.
strange phrasing, sounds more to salon music than to deep felt Mozart, everything to arbitrarily, specially his ritardando are crazy. His Chopin is wonderful, also spezial. The very verby best K 310 played Dinu Lipatti. Pires e.g. delivers also a great perfomance. Sorry, to speak this so frankly.
Movement 1: I don't hear any "maestoso." Too fast for my taste. Movement 2: Nice, but again a shade too quick. A bit literal to be really "cantabile." Movement 3: Lively and engaging, with no complaint about the tempo. This is a talented young man, but I don't think he's quite grasped the shadows in Mozart. In time his interpretations will probably deepen.
