Титан пианизма- это Раду ! Какое проникновенное звучание рояля! Каждый звук завораживает. Гениальное исполнение и постижение сути музыки Брамса.❤👌🙏Спасибо за это Раду Лупу! Восторг и фантастика!🎉

J'avais oublié à quel point ce pianiste était immense

Anyone who heard Lupu in person should consider themselves very fortunate indeed. I was never in the right place at the right time. RIP to another great one!

Compostezza, scelta dei tempi, profondità interpretativa e rigore stilistico lo rendono Interprete sublime e inimitabile. Grazie, RADU LUPU per questa testimonianza di grandissimo spessore musicale.

Saraste, un maestro sensibile, composto, raffinato e generosamente a servizio dell'arte e di Radu Lupu stesso.

Même à la réécoute, c'est toujours aussi bouleversant que la première fois. ❤

Everything is so pure and natural in his playing…

Великолепный музыкант и пианист!! Какое глубокое и тонкое проникновение в прекрасный мужественный стиль музыки Брамса!!! Благодарю!!!❤❤❤

Quelle grâce en cet colosse d'homme et en même temps tellement de force! Quel homme! Aussi discret qu'il était talentueux. Il me fait penser à cette chanson, un Géant en papier, un Géant au coeur tendre pour faire vibrer les nôtres d'une intensité extraordinaire. Merci Radu, Merci Brahms, Merci la technologie de pouvoir écouter ce chef d'oeuvre dans ma cuisine en dégustant mon café. Merci Gratitude 🙏♥

maestro Lupu ,pianista strepitoso, con grande densità' musicale.

Radu Lupu is absolutely magnificent here; I would say he's really in his element, performing the Brahms First Piano Concerto. I have never heard such depth, sonority, and such magisterial Romanticism from any other pianist performing this piece. The orchestra is also exceptionally great. Bravissimo, Radu Lupu!

Viele Danke! Muchas Gracias! Xoukran! Brahms, Jukka-Pekka und Radu Lupu! Vivat

Non si può non ascoltare questa versione del concerto di Brahms, Lupu e Saraste, prima di morire.

The middle movement of this concerto is so utterly soulful nostalgic graceful. It’s atmosphere is almost painfully elegiac with discerning piercing poetry and arching perfect in its soaring trajectory of light and shadow. Where did Brahms conceive such psychological fabric to weave and spin is truly worthy of the word AWESOME! PWG

Only he can produce that tone♬

What a performance. So many things I had never „heard“ in other interpretations. Stunning.

So great pianist! One exceptional intetpretation! I could listen ad ..infinitum... So many regrets that you,Radu Lupu,died so ,still,young...74..is to earlier.

Thank you for this better quality video. I went to hear Radu Lupu perform this concerto in August of that same year at the Proms with Claudio Abbado and the Berlin Philharmonic. Unforgettable playing. I heard him play it again at the Barbican with Colin Davis and the LSO in 2002 and Lupu played it even more poetically. It was so unforced. It was sublime. He was so extraordinary in his most inspired state that few can ever match. Great.

remarquable façon de diriger de J P S précise et énergique et sublime interprètation de Radu Lupu brillante

Finland has provided an astonishing number of great orchestra conductors ... all with hard to pronounce (for me) names :-) Radu Lupu is excellent in this interpretation, making Brahms "talk" ... in my sense, Brahms music has often the tone of conversation, with generous phrases, and Radu Lupu enhances this "conversational" interpretation. It is a pity that the video recording has some glitches and the sound is not optimal, but all in all thanks for posting this interesting performance.

Maybe the most exciting piano concerto ever. When I heard live I had never heard even a recording. Giant surprise. I never expected any Brahmns music to be exciting. And the piano doesn''t come in very soon.huge powerful orchestra intro.

This magnificent Titan of a musician was born in 1945 in Romania, to Jewish parents….it is therefore an absolute miracle that they escaped Adolfo Eichmann’s evil, despicable net. Thank God for the people who survived, and that this wonderful, self effacing pianist was able to realize his musical potential in such an evil period for his country and everywhere else the war created havoc.

Radu Lupo looks, sits and maybe plays like Johannes Brahms in this concert. Really a fantastic interpretation ! Lupu plays with enormous depth, complex romantic like in Wagner opera, great colors, control and much power. Overall this concerto is one of the most challenging, not only in technique but more in a intellectual way and philosophy. In this music is so much conflict, sorrow, battle and finally there is the victory of humanity. It is the victory of human spirit and human singularity. In 1859 in Leipzig the result of the concert was unsuccessful. Because this music is very challenging for the people. Conductor Pekka Sarasate and his orchestra are great, they playing Brahms romantic like Tschaikowsky or Wagner with so much sensibility and without any tension or cramp. The music is flowing like free energy.

Yes, exactly, I was stunned also of the similarity of stance - or bearing while sitting, and leaning to the piano-between Lupu and Brahms. Alas, of the second, we have only fix images, but it's pleasant to believe that he sounded the same, with the same deep intensity, and grave benevolence.

I don't think there has ever been anyone to compare with Lupu. This is a treasure, the deepest performance I've ever heard of this astounding music. And the FRSO under Saraste seems to really rise to the occasion. There's another Lupu performance (six years later) of the Dm concerto on KZread, but the orchestra/conductor are very disappointing. But Lupu still has this amazing authority, emotional depth & openness.

my deepest condolences, Radu you were great pianist !

OMG absolutely no words!! Only bravo bravo bravo .....

I envy those who were in the hall at this concert. Thank God for this recording! What would we know today about Socrates if Plato had not been born? What would we know today about a Brahms if a Radu Lupu had not been born? Maybe just some more or less approximate noises. Radu Lupu (Radu Wolf, in Romanian) was not a genius, but just an ordinary Romanian, who, like the ”peasants” Brancusi and Cioran, did his duty to mankind and God, sincerely saying what he felt and believed.

And These lucky people in The Finlandia (Hall 140O seats) did not pay Big money for Their Tickets 24-27 euros because The tax payers support 250-300 euros per Ticket!! Boston Symphony Orchestra The cheapest Ticket prize 210$=160 euros in 2021!! You can listen The Best greatest art by Lupu and others who do not listen classical music they pay 90% of The cost! Wrong? Or Right?? I Have payed 14 euros my Symphony Orchestra concert and My hard working Brother pay high taxes so that The Ticket Price only 14 euros!!

Thank you so much for this upload. I was lucky enough to hear Radu play this live in Geneva a couple of years before this concert. It remains one of those unforgettable concert experiences. So much to love here. I remember my pianist friend's and my amazement at how Radu uses his left hand (around 7:00 in this recording and plenty of other places.) Still amazing!

This concerto sounds more like chopins concertos unlike Brahms concerto 2. Lupe is perfect for this concerto because it has a naive romantic juvenile lylical passages all over which requires a player like him with a most delicate and well balanced touch and tone, Lupus this play is so perfect and beautifull. This play is the this is the one version to me.
