The more I watch this video the more I see the Father-Son relationship between Bernstein and Zimerman. It is beautiful to behold.

Thank you very much!
Una delle migliori interpretazioni che ho sentito...!!!💕💕💕💕🤗👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is when both the soloist and the conductor perfectly understand each other.
Zimerman is a conductor too 😎👍
I thought both were fans on Brahms music. Now they're on Beethoven!
@@zerksepraga. They were fans of all composers.

@@RaineriHakkarainen dude .. you are boring
@@RaineriHakkarainen This is your list . Thank you to let me know but in my list are Zimmerman and Argerich too.
He is. I agree with you.
I love the warmth of Bernstein. This performance is a work of art. It is a privilege to be able to listen to the perfection of a teacher conducting an orchestra and a performer like Zimmerman, considered one of the greatest pianists in the world.
The world is nothing without Beethoven!
Ain't it the truth ain't it the truth !
...and Brahms...and Rachmaninoff...
@@almapaglieri9963 go away, this is about the master.
@@emjdeckwitz6949 like beethoven is the only master? Brahms and Rach are great too
@@pianosbloxworld4460 lol Rach is not great, not in the caliber of Beethoven, chopin and bach. He got a couple of good hits but that's it
Zimerman - jakiż on jest wielki! Już wyżej, już lepiej nie można! To szczyty genialności!
Those fingers hitting the keys of the piano and making magic. I think that even Beethoven wouldn't know it could be possible to produce that kind of music.
I do think that Beethoven would have 'known' of such music production, but I think that he would have thought that reality, in its utter perfection, far from a real human capacity. - David Lyga
@@davidlyga6259 Thank you for your thoughtful response! My intention was to express my awe at Zimerman's stunning performance. I agree that Beethoven had a profound understanding of musical potential, and it's incredible to witness such mastery like this one.
If you put 3 geniuses together you don't always get what you want. But in this case you absolutely find all the fun you can get out of classic music. Awesome....
Exactly!
Speechless!
Cette performance, c'est légendaire! Incroyable, j'ai du mal à m'exprimer ce que je pense. C'est impressionnante dans tous les aspects....le son, l'ensemble, l'orchestre, et la coordination. C'est parfaite. J'aime la qualité de cette vidéo aussi, c'est merveilleuse.
Bravo Beethoven , you surely must be smiling down on us all 🎶🎼. Brilliant talent brought together for this sublime performance .
...or screaming up at us?
What an amazing concert. :) You can see how much they enjoy making Music together. Absolutely amazing.
A truly marvelous performance...so entrancing...May I say that those “artists behind the scenes” the audio and video engineers have presented us with a masterpiece to enjoy for all time...Thank you to everyone who brought this experience to us all these years later...It is yet as fresh and refreshing as though we are there in person...✨

I totally agree.
😅
This is a glimpse of heaven on earth. One of the greatest collaborations. I am so grateful this recording exists! Thank you! Dziękuję!
I love how Bernstein and Zimerman embrace each other at the end of the concert, like a very old friend.
Bernstein, at his age, surely knows that will be one of his last few concerts, and you can see how he immersed himself in the music and enjoyed throughout the performance. Zimerman, on the contrary, is in his prime day, still having lots of time to perform great music. It seems to me that the two masters, through the hands of the legendary Beethoven, has connected each other, that Bernstein knows great music will never die as there will always be young fellows to come with. It is a symbol of passing on a treasure given to humanity. Truly magical moment.

@@kellygreen274 I imagine it must have been a wonderful time.
If there is a better performance of the 4th, I want to hear it. I love the obvious affection between Bernstein and Zimmerman. In the first movement after KZ plays a solo part Bernstein looks at him as if to say Yeah, that was great. It reminds me of Jazz musicians who acknowledge each other after great solos. I love the 4th probably more than any other classical piece of music. It covers so many emotions - joy and sorrow, and always moves me to tears. This is a great performance by all.
Suggest having a listen to Kovacevich / Davis' performance from 1974 .
Try the one of Helmchen, his version of the fifth is with no doubt the best performance in my opinion
ruclips.net/video/djaOif5zHzI/видео.html
I like Casadesus, probably as much for it being one of my earliest purchases with my own money as a teen as for it being a great performance. A little more dreamy and romantic in parts than Zimmerman, but still with depth and fire, and definitely very different cadenzas.
It's interesting you mention jazz, because I always think the second movement of this piece has one of the two most beautiful passages for piano ever recorded -the other being McCoy Tyner's beyond extraordinary solo in _My Favorite Things_ .
Bernstein was my childhood hero with his music matinee in television. Now, 50 years later accomapanied with Zimmerman they mesmerize me even much deeper. Thanks for both of them, thanks Beethoven to give us this miracle and thanks God of beeing able to understand and feel the perfection.
It does not get better than this pianist and conductor together a match made in heaven if Beethoven was still living he would be so so pleased with this profomence, absolutely brilliant.
I am yet to find a better performance. This is the best!
Magnificant
Zimmerman's performance is the definition of perfection
Lol, especially when its edited.
@@elliotthayes1176 wtf
@@moritzliska4629 Huge Zimmerman fan, I have seen him live and those performances were in fact, ‘perfection’, but these recordings are edited. Numerous takes, and clever camera angles.
@@elliotthayes1176 ah yes obviously
@@elliotthayes1176 How is that possible when the recording is clearly a concert?
Indeed was a brilliant interpretation and performance of the G Major.
Loved how Bernstein signaled Zimmerman who was in charge, when Zimmerman started conducting.
I don’t want to take away from his brilliant conducting skills. Zimmerman is a brilliant conductor/Pianist.
As I read some of the comments I agree that this was a splendid performance.
However, for me, the performance that fulfills all my Beethoven G Major needs is without a doubt the Szell/Fleisher collaboration.
Fleisher had a remarkable understanding of this pice.
Is it no wonder that he’s been called “your favorite pianist, favorite pianist.”
There has been no better Conductor and Pianist coordination than Mr. Bernstein and Mr. Zimerman.
Il n'y a pas de mots assez forts pour dire notre admiration aux interprètes. Merci pour ces moments rares. Cordialement. Olivier F
My favourite Beethoven concerto given a superlative performance by an incredible inspired soloist, conductor and orchestra.
Zimerman is an extraordinary pianist. Jaw dropping accuracy and impeccable musicianship! Bernstein had the orchestra playing at peak performance. Great performance!
You can see how Bernstein was satisfied with the orchestra at 1:20. He started to smile and continued. He then knew that the orchestra was precise and subtle enough to meet the finer expressions of the piece in a harmonious way. No flaws, no corrections needed, beautiful sound, ready to be recorded. No wonder that the old master didn't loose his smile.
Best piano concerto written by my master Beethoven!
Fantastic the both of them! Pianist and conductor! Thank you, thank you.
This is the most spectacular concert !! Sound of Orchestra is beautiful full volume and Zimmerman play gracefully !! Very enjoyable concert , priceless !!!!!!
This is the best known concert of Beethoven. The amazing sensitivity and harmony are fabulous. The interpretation is admirable. The music touches us in the deep of our soul. Nobody couldn’t be indifferent to this masterpiece of divine music for other world. The changes in cadence are superb and sublime. The orchestra and direction are flawless and the pianist performance magnificent specially in the Andante and Rondo that are unforgettable. Thanks for this true moments of profound pleasure.
I think his second best would be his emperor concerto. An amazing concerto no doubt
I think that the best known is the 5th, the Emperor. Of course, this is well known, too.
The soul doesn't exist, stop bringing religion to music.
Impossibile non sentire nel cuore questo concerto, così come gli altri 4. Esecuzione magistrale, brillante, emozionante e che entra appieno nel significato Beethoveniano. Grazie Bernstein e Zimmerman per aver reso onore a questo vero capolavoro.
Wunderschöne live Aufführung dieses perfekt komponierten Konzerts mit klaren und gut artikulierten Töne des Soloklaviers sowie perfekt synchronisierten und gut harmonisierten Töne anderer Instrumente. Der unvergleichliche Dirigent leitet das weltklassige Orchester im angemessenen Tempo mit effektiver Dynamik und ohne überflüssige Agogik. Einfach wunderbar!
notaire2 an erster Stelle des Lobes hier würde ich eher den Pianisten, den unvergleichlichen Zimerman, erwähnen...
Stimmt. Ich sollte eher die höchste Technik und die angeborene Lyrik von diesem unvergleichlichen Pianisten deutlich loben. Danke für Ihre nette Ankündigung!
I never get tired to hearing this sublime masterpiece.
Please give this interpretation a try ruclips.net/video/djaOif5zHzI/видео.html
In my opinion the best version.
Me neither.
The second movement has the most extraordinary interaction between orchestra and piano I have _ever_ heard in _any_ piano concerto, hands down. It is just ineffably, astonishingly beautiful.
@@hadronoftheseus8829 I totally agree with you.
Impecable! Zimerman is a great performer! For me, the best Beethoven "reader" in this particulary Concerto.
This may be the very best recording I've heard so far.
Zimerman a dull Boring dull stiff machine player Better ones Grigori Sokolov Artur Rubinstein Emil Gilels Wilhelm Kempff Mikhail Pletnev Radu Lupu
Me too.
To me, what makes Zimerman about the top Pianist is that he plays every note with the most intense sensibility to what Beethoven would have played. He can play loud and bright but, what separates he from the rest is his ability to touch the notes with such delicacy that they can just be heard. That's a perfect touching pianist. When I was being taught Piano. My teacher said that Franz Liszt used to play each note with each finger from as quiet as he could gladually getting as loud as he could , then go back in reverse with each finger. It used to take up hours out of my day just to complete this exercise. Now, I get to watch it in it's perfection.
This Concert is awesome. You fly over harmonies that move other levels of sensations.
Leonardo Garcia I admire your adept way of describing this beautiful rendition of this concerto,very nice.
Thanks for the excellent acoustics of the recording.
What a grandios performance of the 2 greats. It was such a marvellous evening of wonderful music. Moreover, I love Zimerman's playing.
for me, the best interpretation ever beyond any doubt - it´s pure magic and bliss

Give this interpretation a chance to win you over
Great !!!
Zimmerman - Virtuoso & Bernstein - MAESTRO!!!!!!
One of the best performances of Beethoven #4!
To me the best.
Bravo! Their performance is always complete. !
Can't understand how a single soul said so much. Utterly in awe of what this man did.
Magnificent, beautiful performance from Mr Zimmerman and the Wonderful Orchestra. Thank you for letting me share

I have no words for this piece or Zimerman or Bernstein
Well, that was simply out of this world!
Dear God you simply cannot get better than this...sheer perfection.
Agreed. Beethoven has been my musical God all my life. And this performance is superb ! Bernstein’s respect for Zimmerm’s incredible playing is total.

@@RaineriHakkarainen Daniil Trifonov..Evgenny Kissin.........
@@RaineriHakkarainen your opinion doesn't even logically make sense if you don't include Horowitz in the best pianists spot
A delightful performance! I started to say this is my favorite Beethoven piano concerto -- then I realized I could with equal truth say this is my favorite piano concerto -- then, one thought later, yes, Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 4 is simply my favorite concerto! Period! In any case, I have attended and listened to many performances of this wonderful work, so comparisons come to mind at many passages throughout this excellent reading by Krystian Zimerman and Leonard Bernstein. Zimerman's approach is sometimes more brittle than I'm used to, pounding on the keys a bit and setting a breakneck pace at times when I don't expect it. At the other end of the emotional range of the piece, he comes up with a tenderness that brings out the beauty of some of the melodic lines and cadences in a way I haven't heard before. He grabs my attention from the first moment and keeps me engrossed throughout, eager to share his understanding of the piece. Meanwhile the musical narrative of the orchestra is richly and superbly detailed with Bernstein's effusive conducting. Maybe it's just because this is Beethoven's Fourth, but I think this may be the best I have ever heard from Bernstein. I'll be listening to this one again and again.
I am just imagining, but I've heard most if not all of Beethoven, and this piano concerto is in my estimation above the rest of his magnificent creations
Heard of op.132? The violin concerto? Grosse fugue? F major and G major romance? This piano concerto is undoubtedly the best of the piano concertos and is a master work but it isn’t the best
@@DankChallenger heard the grosse fugue, but it just so unlike any of the other works I've heard from Beethoven. I can't quite describe it as beautiful.
@@DankChallenger the grosse fugue is a musical mistake. A failed experiment published as a completed work. Revered by those whom are musically incompetent.
One of the greatest pianists of our time. At every level.
Truly, three geniuses together made this perfection!
Espectacular la dupla Zimerman - Bernstein. Da gusto escuchar sus conciertos.
The contention he holds is admirable, rare and so difficult, all flows through the technique, not being pure nor over emotional but incredibly precise and full. The sound so filled and optimised. Unique
Perfection exists
Beethoven, desde mi humilde conocimiento musical, considero que fue el mas grande compositor clasico de la historia de la musica universal
The part from the cadenza till the end of the 1st movement is one of the most magical and touching moments in classical music.
18:58-20:08
Wow, that triple attack at 35:34, how clear and precise! I imagine Bernstein fighting for it in rehearsals! 😁
Composer, soloist, conductor, orchestra sublime.
Звук буквально дышит у уважаемого господина Циммермана...наполнен какой-то неимоверной жизненной энергией...то хрустально прозрачное звучание...то необыкновенно страстное...Просто великолепно!
פשוט נפלא. צימרמן חי את המוזיקה ואנחנו נהנים יחד איתו.
C'est génial ! Puissance, délicatesse, clarté ! Bernstein est aussi marvellous !
Wow, the collaboration between Zimerman and Bernstein brought to some very beautiful things like that, one of my favourite interpretation of the piece with the Barenboim's one
Magnifique !!! Le pianiste comme le chef d'orchestre sont formidables !!!Quel plaisir de les voir !!!Merci !!!
Das ist
Zimmerman and the director are Great
Thank you
Sublime concerto. Le deuxième mouvement est parfait !
A simply wonderful performance
(Translation in English of my Dutch comment): In 1989 I was looking up to the sky, it had already gone dark, there was a clear sky and yet there were no stars to be seen. I thought this was strange and I was wondering why that was. Could it be the citylights? But now, 32 years later, I know the real answer: it was because the pianist Zimerman, along with the Wiener Philharmoniker orchestra, was “playing the stars out of the sky” (a Dutch expression meaning they performed excellently). Really phe-no-me-nal indeed the way they were performing! On hearing this wonderful masterpiece of music my tears came, I couldn’t help crying. And the way Zimerman and Bernstein were embracing each other, it was really moving me! Just Great!
I would feel the first motive in here and there is so so beautiful, lyric and graceful very much. wonderful No.4. (91yrs.
Japanese)
Zimerman est un vrai phénomène.
Quant à Beethoven, c'est le maître absolu du classique et de la maîtrise des notes
Great concerto ❤ wonderful performance 👏 ❤
Zimermam, Berstein, la orquesta, el sonido, las imágenes y por supuesto la genialidad de Beethoven. Todo al máximo nivel de excelencia.
Wunderschoene Einspielung! Danke sehr!!!
Merveille de Zimmerman, quelle simplicité dans la grandeur de Beethoven quand un Bernstein inspiré l’accompagne. ….sans mots……
Guinzburg Dahan, Juana ♥️👏
boa tarde, continuo na escuta do Beethoven e adorando. obrigada.
Zimmerman did a great job.
I saw this in Carnegie Hall, 1975.
The soloist was Andre Watts.
He was great too.
I think the soloist needs to be under 40 years to nail this thing.
Huge power required.
What a tribute to Beethoven.
Ce concert est une pure merveille, sans doute le plus beau concert pour piano du maître LVB et l’interprétation est juste sublime
The second movement is among the most profound instrumental compositions in the classical canon
Notevole prestazione di Zimmerman supportato da un suono splendido della Filarmonica di Vienna e dalla maestria di L. Bernstein alla direzione. Una versione del 4 concerto assolutamente di assoluto rilievo. Complimenti!!
I often listen to this version of Beethoven 4th, while using my rowing machine. My headset keeps disturbing noice out and I use the tempo to conduct my rowing.
I call it Rowing Meditation.
!! They're both so sharp with the tempo!!
Beyond sublime! Most beautiful Piano Concerto ever written by anyone... Even better than No 5 (except for the slow movement of No 5 which is totally sublime). Watched/listened to Zimmerman playing a Chopin Piano Concerto yesterday - out of this world beautiful playing.
Indeed.
It’s almost the most difficult too.
Most sublime movement though for me in the set of Beethoven concertos goes to the A flat major movement in the first concerto.
@@danielhornby5581 n
You are wrong, this concerto is just much better than the no.5 movement by movement.
The second movement of this concerto is much better than the second of the no.5
Beethoven Plano number 4 another masterpiece with Zimerman, piano, Bernstein conductor, absolutely beautiful . Zimerman takes you over skiers. Close your eyes and fly over clouds with him.
4:30 Zimmerman proceeds to conduct orchestra.
Bernstein: "😁 no no "
haha I just noticed
Yes indeed! I had also noticed those most amusing moments, the first time I watched this video years ago. But I forgot to earmark it, so thank you Ethan, for mentioning it!

This is full of admiration and deep emotion
I missed my station listening to this….
What an absolutely sublime rendition of this beautiful piano concerto! Loved every minute of it! Bravo! 🎶💐👏
Very true! So far beyond other interpretations...
Stupenda esecuzione sempre piacevole
Such amazing playing from everyone: the VPO and Zimerman. Lennie looks like he is having so much fun. These were among his last performances with this beloved orchestra of his. Interesting that the second horn is not using a Vienna horn, but the more common type of French Horn.
Maestro Bernstein hated being referred to as Lennie as in familiar terms. especially as he got older .
TOPofTop,
Best concerto!
Fantastic!!
Thank you!!
Absolutely Magical 🤗
And with Leonard Bernstein conducting : it doesn't get any better than this
When all is said and done, there is simply no performance better for Beethoven Four. NONE. With Beethoven, Zimerman is the zenith. And when you add Bernstein and Wien, you have the formula for heaven on earth. - David Lyga
A l'écoute de cet admirable concerto j'ai des larmes salvatrices,haute admiration
We live in a world where humanity can enjoy this record until end of times.
En diciembre de 1808 se estreno esta obra junto con la 5, 6 sinfonía y la Fantasia Coral... qué calidad de Compositor... no creo que se vuelva a repetir en la historia de la música, otro concierto con tantos estrenos de obras maestras.
Things like this make life worth living.
Impossible de se souvenir de tout ce que j'ai écouté même avec mes notes. Merci
Sublime! What a legendary performance!
In 1971 my mother bought me for my birthday scriveners Beethoven piano sonatas the one with the 16 that had moonlight sonata in it in the 15 other ones. I was still in piano instruction once a week been taking lessons since 1963 and from that moment on with Beethoven the sky was the limit
i like it when zimerman point a thumb up at 10:13
Zimmerman channels Beethoven with effortless Titanic mastery.
Whilst playing this he IS Beethoven.
A perfeição e a sua interpretação caminham juntas.
