I Allegro appassionato 0:53 II Adagio 10:59 III Finale (Presto scherzando) 18:31

I'm 18 months away from my piano diploma recital, where I'll be performing this concerto with my piano teacher, who I admire deeply. I've been her student for 11 years and this concert will be our final act on stage. This exquisite performance reminds me I still have a long way to go. Bravo!!

So, a little update, my recital went well. I performed the first movement of this concerto, amongst other pieces, and got my MMus. It is hard to believe this actually happened because when I first listened this concerto, it sounded so... unplayable. Best of luck to all young musicians out there. Don't give up, you got this!

I confess that I know nothing about classical music, but I find this performance thrilling for some reason.

This is a lovely performance by the Orchestra and the conducting is just superb. However I think the Pianist is incredible. Really nice style which I would call 'graceful' and so good to watch. I am full of awe seeing him play all the way through the Concerto, all from memory. ( I am aware many Pianists can do this of course and I wish I could!) Thanks for posting this great video.

Beautiful! That Steinway sounds to be such a pleasure to play - the pianist had a wonderful and sensitive range of dynamics and articulation! The orchestra was supppper tight too 👌🏼🙏🏼

Mendelssohn wrote this for his wife Cecile. Its a piece especially, the 2nd movement, that anti semetic musicians in the 20th century like to play badly on purpose to belittle and marginalize the composer. This beautiful piece of music written out of love as a gift, degraded out of hate....both of his piano concertos were inspired by the love and beauty of the women in his life

Mendelssohn was born Jewish and converted to Lutheranism early in his childhood along with his entire family. to the die-hard anti-semites of the 20th century even a scrap of Jewish blood in your grandparents was enough to get you in a concentration camp. Mendelssohns Piano Trio in D was used as background music and played so poorely as to be a musical joke in Nazi propaganda films describing concentration camps for jews as decent places. This beautiful work was butchered on purpose to belittle and trivialize the composer and his heritage. The head of the Liepzieg music school 1939 was interned and subsequently died in a nazi concentration camp when he refused to tear down the bronze statue of Felix adorning the entrance. No other composer has ever been vilified as Felix. Felix helped a young Wagner make a name for himself and was intern stabbed in the back by Hitler's fav after the untimely death of Mendelssohn. Parfisal overture is basically Felix's Hebrides Played backwards. Also, Felix was responsible for making Mozarts legacy what it is today by collecting and playing his works so the world remembers Mozart. Felix found Mozarts widow and son living in forgotten squalor in Vienna paid her bank for what manuscripts she still had then paid her a small allowance for the remainder of her life.

@@republiccooper He was also a decent painter and wrote volumes of beautiful letters over the corse ofhis entire life. A brilliant piano player, he also introduced a style of conducting most emulated by Toscanni, Munch and todays Barenbaum. He travelled extensively and was a bit of a rock star for his day. He liked pretty girls. Travelling was an adventure then. He made like 5 trips to London in 10 years. He founded the Liepzieg conservatory and became an advocate of pensioning professional musicians. Conservative politicaly, he did not live to see the revolution of 1848 and the subsequent rise if german nationalism and anti semitism. Felix encountered anti semitism in the streets of Berlin at the tender age of nine and by all accounts aquited himself in a manly fashion, then went home and cried. He played a mean game of chess and was a proficient mountaineer as well. He liked Chopin and Schuman (all 3 sat down to coffee in Paris in 1828) but said of Liszt privately "lots of fingers little brains" His best friend was Belioz but he disliked his music calling it in private "the aborted offsring of a hideious incest" His last words were "Im tired...:

@tommy miller what do you think of bach's keyboard concertos ?

@fleetwoodbeechbum

Жыл бұрын

@@generalgonzales8139 I listened to 1 to 9 a few days ago. When I did, I wondered whether Bach had copied Vivaldi or vice versa. And it also occurred to me that Bach wrote for the harpsichord. After a conversation with a friend, I decided to see what Google would have to say about all that. Well, not surprisingly, I was right on both hunches. Admittedly, they were easy ones. My friend like to meditate a lot. And he like Vivaldi. And I noticed when I was listening to them that it was easier to stay focused in my meditation with the keyboard concertos. I put 2 and 2 together and discovered that Bach plagiarized Vivaldi. I personally don't like Bach because, well I have known this about my music taste since 1988, he is too much like Vivaldi. Lol. So it took me 34 years before I said, "Hey, wait a minute!" It is music with a positive mood, so that is a good point. It doesn't let you stop and sulk. It keeps going like a train so you can't focus on bad vibes because it will take you by the ear to the next bar. And that steady skippity hop is also what keeps it dispassionate. That unflappable, unperturbed and nonchalant rhythm also starves it for a deeper arousal of feelings. It's music that is indifferent. And because it is so, it fails to move me. So their, I've judged it as a failure. Yet only in the context of wanting passion. For the trek into meditation focusing on intellect, Bach's keyboard concertos would be on my list of recommendations. I remember liking the first one more than the others. As for writing for a harpsichord, that fits right in with Bach's music being very self similar and cool. On the contrary, my favorite PCs all have a huge breadth of scope. They use the whole gamut, fill up the dynamic range. Which is why I remain captivated and moved. And the pianist sometimes makes the piano sound like a xylophone, sometimes like a harp, and sometimes like a piano played by Bach. And that is what I think of Bach's keyboard concertos. They have as much of a purpose as passionate concertos, I won't deny that. And I'll keep the title in mind in case I want to call them up on my laptop.

Belo concerto! Encantador...

Perfection!

0:55 is a good place to start.

@@julieontology7214 that piece is indeed wonderful. I study both the Cello and the Piano. I want to conduct this piece one day. From the Piano. I would never say that Master Felix wrote a bad piece, and my favourite period is indeed the Romantic Era. I love the way the romantic masters are so over dramatic and emotional. And d minor is my favourite key. It's only a question of personal taste. Like Dvorák's Cello Concerto. I love that 2 theme exposition before the instrument enters.

Gran dirección y pianista.

Bravissimi

Leggo sul libro di Giacomo Manzoni "Guida all'ascolto della musica sinfonica" che "il Secondo Concerto è stato oggi quasi dimenticato" con una spiegazione sinceramente solo tecnica (virtuosismo privo di mordente). Io mi permetto di dissentire: secondo me è molto intenso ed emozionante. Però io sono soltanto una semplice amante della musica, non una studiosa. Gradirei sentire altri pareri. Un abbraccio a tutti

No, too slow. Fire, fire fire with awesome phrases is the first movement. If you notice, I think the conductor kinda set it off slow too. Just sayin :/

Not a Steinway fan Give me Bosendorfer or Beckstein anytime

Unique, the way the piano jumps right into the orchestral introduction. Mendelssohn was a master composer whose piano virtuosity gave him comfortable control of the way the piano can be in the background but always leads the orchestra. This is much quieter than the 1st Piano Concerto but thematic development is a step beyond: Mendelssohn in a very meditative mood. Methinks that this pianist is too non-virtuosic in his performance. Where is the push that Yuja Wang gives in her performance? You can't take the "Scherzo" out of Mendelssohn's composing style and this performance lacks "push." The pianist is good, but just a bit too bland!
