Abbado needs to tone down all that flamboyant gesturing. He is acting out what the superb orchestral musicians are playing. And what they are playing has nothing whatsoever to do with him.

genius!

Beloved Brahms, unique Celibidache, great Barenboim. And applause for the cellist too.

Как я люблю этот концерт и как я люблю Поллини. Не хочется говорить о нем в прошедшем времени. Спасибо,что есть записи. В музыке он бессмертен.

40:32 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Embarrassing, to say the least. Why did he even insist on continuing to play this badly? His bowing technique and vibrato are a mess (must admit, though, that his intonation is mostly good, even in impossible positions!), and yet the guy kept going for years, pretending he was still a great violinist. I mean: he's faking every single fast passage (and any competent violinist will agree with me!) Conclusion: Yehudi Menuhin, at this point, was done as a violinist, and there really is no second opinion possible about that. It's a fact. Yet, he kept on for years to come. Why??? With all respect for his amazing musical capacity as a youngster: Had he, by this stage, lost his hearing too?

Thank you for posting it.

❤❤❤

Great performance by one of the greatest violinist and one of greatest conductors !

No había escuchado esta magnífica interpretación del Concierto No. 2 de Brahms : Abbado y Pollini jóvenes con la Orquesta Filarmónica de Viena. Una joya Musical.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤FENOMENALNO

No se puede ser mejor orquesta que la de Munich. Perfecta.

Una de las más grandes versiones de este concierto. Bravooooooo.

Geniales Celibidache y Baremboin. Y sobre todo Brahms.

By the way, I agree with your comment about Glenn Gould. George Malcolm was great, but he wasn’t the virtuoso that Gould was. There is one other person, whose career was cut so short that most people are unaware of his unmatched greatness: Dinu Lipatti seemed to be able to play the definitively perfect demonstration performance of everything he touched. The only problem is his performances are not subject to the scrutiny of modern recording technology because of the tragedy of his life being cut short. I was introduced to him by a friend who worked with me at the HMV Record Shop in Oxford Street in the 1970s when it had the largest classical record collection in the world under its roof. (Even the New York stores didn’t rival it). Pianists, both students from the great London colleges of music and some world famous professional pianists, used to come in and ask us which records they should buy. I was the piano specialist in the department and I met quite a lot of great performers. One really famous, and therefore wealthy, pianist was such a stingy, tight-fisted character he would spend several hours listening to famous pianists playing the works that he was due to showcase that evening, at the Festival Hall no less. To be fair, he was so widely and continuously traveled that I doubt the poor guy had much time at home on his own piano. One Saturday afternoon, he came in and I noticed him before my colleagues were aware of his being there. I motioned him into a booth, told him to choose which versions he liked best, and then played what I thought were the greatest recorded performances of what he faced that night at the Festival Hall. After he was finished, which took about two hours at least, he asked me who I thought was the greatest recorded pianist who ever lived. I said, “That’s easy: Dinu Lipatti”. He said, “How did you know that, my boy? Are you a music student?” I said, “No, I’m a preclinical medical student, but I’ve been playing and listening to piano music since I was three, and I don’t listen to piano teachers at the colleges; they’re teachers, not doers”. He said, “Oh my G-d, I have three children who have all played piano since they were three years old. Two are already quite well known, and the third is a doctor; and who do you think is the best musician?” “The doctor?”, I asked. “Of course!”, he said with great excitement. “But he isn’t as agile as the others, which is why he chose not to be a professional pianist”. “That’s exactly my problem”, I said. “I can hear entire symphonic scores in my head; I could write them out; but I don’t have the agility in my fingers. I always knew it and refused every teacher who tried to get me to go to music college. There was no way. The only person who understood was my father, who came from a poor family and never learned to play the piano, but had a better ear for music than those teachers, one of whom was internationally known. How I still miss his wisdom after more than 40 years!

В этом концерте оркестр побывал на музыкальном Эвересте и мы с ними…

Who is able to play brahms2

So amazing ❤

Dos grandes musicos madurados en anos de estudio y practica.Los dos conciertos para piano de Brahms necesitan de musicos de este calibre.

Bareimbom, un genio.Cebilidache, otro genio. Se sacan chispas, qué belleza escuchar esta interpretación, qué disfrute !! Muchas gracias.

Excelente

Benedetta Italia !

시작 부분에 긴장해서 두번 틀려서 당황하시는 모습 ㅠ 죄송합니다. 진짜 연주는 전설적이다!

He is ONE IF MY FAVE pianists since I discovered him as a teen… by way of my adopted family who would donate their used by nil albums to me🥲💕🙏🏼

Richard David, I must thank you so much for downloading this video. When RUclips recommended it to me I assumed it was going to be a record. Really great to actually see Yehudi Menuhin play. Never witnessed that before.

Gosh! When I saw in these comments that there was criticism of him, I assumed it must be about his politics or life style etc (about which I know nothing). Cannot believe it would be about his skills as a musician. I would think most of us just wish to enjoy the spiritual experience music of this quality brings.

Менухин - гениальный скрипач, мало кто может с ним сравниться. Слушать его исполнение огромное удовольствие. Браво!!!

Never heard him before listening to this but it blew me away!

I am so grateful for having this truly immortal performance. Too bad today's young conductors don't feel the need to learn from the old masters. Magnificent performance. THANK YOU!

Bravo!!!❤esp first and third movement. Beautiful! Tx for upload!🎉🎉

I saw this concert for the first time in 1997 on K7 tape. I didn't know Brahms. The first audition was passionate. I consider it the most intense reading of the work.

(38:21) It always hits me hard when the cello comes in on the last part of the Andante 3rd Movement. I think of Maggie Bella, who was the principal cellist with the San Antonio Symphony. Our grade school attended concerts on field trips and from an early age I always focused on her playing up on that stage. I was immediately drawn to her and finally met her as a young adult after college.

Maurizio brings incredible agile energy and excitement to his honest interpretation, revealing Brahms essentially unique music intentions, honorably ! A most memorable performance! With humble thanks.. Wendy Louise

This is one of the most exquisite concertos ever composed..most perfectly performed technically and interpreted with absolute impeccable musicality and refined integrity! To a fellow pianist and personal friend..Mauritzio... a posthumous BRAVO ! (R.I.P) Wendy Louise Hall ( Pianist, Composer a.o]

2:07 is when that happends..

Fantastic performance

Amazing!👍👍👍

Best version as far I am concerned...

❤❤❤❤

Mr Menuhin jouait du violon en donnant beaucoup plus qu'une simple reproduction musicale, tout était engagé, sensible dans son art, et peu importe les quelques imperfections car avec lui le violon est plus que la musique, et il a inspiré tant de jeunes violonistes ...

Fantástico Carlitos Gardel!!👍💖😊

Me encanta este concierto y con ellos, más

❤ sin comentario ❤

SIMPLESMENTE DIVINO !

La capacidad de conducir no es cualidad de todos.excelente.si sr. digo.😁😎

Beautiful sound from orchestra at second movement. Soft and warm and lovely.

Very very great musician of all times. Very relax playing but same time brilliant in fast passages. He makes orchestra listen to him.

Para Menuhin el violin es una parte mas de su cuerpo, pues toca con el corazon y el alma. Escucharlo y verlo es una delicia.

Goose pimples Probably my favorite violin concertos, mostly due Mr Menhunin. Grew up listening this and the Mendelssohn concerto on tape in the car when we drove long distances. When they make a movie about my life 😂 - the last movement will be the theme song.
