I love this guy everything about him is so legendary. I teach myself piano but I wish he was my piano teacher. People like this always have the best stories to tell.
Oh you poor man. Yes - they always have stories to tell - to make up for their appalling ineptitude and total lack of structural awareness.
@@organman52 Shut up
@@DrZhivago-l2b What's the matter, honey? You don't like THE TRUTH ?
Such a dynamic piece so beautifully played. Accompanied by the loudest camera on earth.
To the comment section: “this man” Seymour Berstein is 90 years old at this performance. He has had a very successful performing and teaching career! Prove to us that you can play it better at 90 years old!!!!!!! Good gracious!
Actually he's 87 here. The festival was October 2014 and he was born in April 1927.
Happy Birthday, Seymour. You continue to be an inspiration.
Again, thank you for your music.
Thank you for your wonderful story and great performance!!! 💕
Its a shame the sound quality of the video isnt the best but still great performance, thank you
I love Seymour, the much better performance of this piece, gorgeous, brought tears to my eyes, is in the “bonus” track of the DVD of “Seymour: An Introduction”-a well-recorded concert in which he plays several pieces, and his own compositions at the end.
Have only ever seen it on the DVD. Not on RUclips.
He's performance is heavenly~
And how interesting his story is~!
heaven is then the new hell
It's so beautiful that my heart and your heart dance
What a treasure he is.
You're joking, right?
What a shame an insensitive FLASH photographer had the nerve to ruin this wonderful soul's performance
Blame the photog’s client. Just doing the job.
the photographer could at least use a camera with an electronic shutter and use a longer tele
Exactly- how rude people are in the photographic world to take loud flash shots when A performance like this is happening. I’ve seen this happen before in other venues and it’s just astonishing to me this occurs without a thought - especially in the age of digital cameras
Too precious for words!
What a story.. 😊😊
What an inspiring human being and musician you are!!! I wish my godson could have a master class with you. He is quite talented. Just 14 years old. Let's Hope we can overcome the Covid crisis soon.
Who's the person with the camera? Can't they go away??
seriously what a nuisance to the moment
I loved your story and of course your sensitive and nuanced performance.
Best story ever❤
An evening with Ethan hawke?
Sod that-Mr Bernstein gets top billing no matter what.
This is the first time I been able to listen to Brahms because of all the awful pianists. Seymour gave it Soul!. It is in the Steinway piano company store NYC in front of a Theater group. His first performance after not playing 37 years. Watch his interview about this. Kudos. Beautiful.
Maestro of maestros !
delusional
What Brahms piece is that?
Brahms Intermezzo - Opus 118 No. 2 - in A Major
How would anyone know? It is completely unrecognizable.
@@organman52 I agree
@@RB-bj9ms This is complete fraud. And the sicko-phants just eat it up. It defies rationality.
@@organman52 I agree with you
Audio was barely audible on first few bars
😂🤣
Awwwww.....isn't that precious how he crosses his left hand over for the final note of the piece?
Please post a video of yourself playing it “better”. Otherwise, hush. Art is not subject to selfish whims of man.
@@buddysgirl3305 What does MY playing of the piece have to do with my ability to assess this - or any - performance?
Perhaps the bass line needs to be louder at 5:17. We can't quite hear it. In fact, almost all the secondary voices need to be much louder. That way, we can't hear the primary melodies throughout - which was, of course, the master composer's intention.
It sounds great, the bass melody shining through and you can clearly hear the primary melody also, maybe you need hearing aid.
@@OArchivesX Keep living this delusion. It suits you.
@@organman52 imagine being so foolish and closed minded LOL. I'm gonna go ahead and say Seymour, a renowned pianist and teacher who knows more than you will ever know, knows what it should sound like better than you :) But you can have your preference, nothing wrong with that.
@@OArchivesX Aside from the fact that his playing of the Brahms makes the piece unrecognizable, everything is just fine, Devil.
@@organman52 Relax, stranger.
So uncontrolled … is it really good ?
And this man has the gall to criticize Gould's playing of Brahms??????
'This man' does not hold a candle to Gould. But keep up your delusion.
@@organman52 I think you misunderstood @R B. I think the two of you are having a serious agreement. I too think his criticism of Gould's Brahms is somewhat off the mark While Gould's Brahms is unlike anyone else's, in my opinion, there is great beauty in his playing that Bernstein doesn't hear. Having said that, I think this performance is pretty awful. Too slow, exaggerated rubato, exaggerated dynamics that Brahms didn't ask for, etc.
It is astounding how many people are in awe of this man. If the performance of the Brahms Intermezzo even remotely resembles what the master composer had in mind, then the earth is indeed flat. Not a single note of this 'performance' is acceptable. I could list at least fifty reasons why I think so, but I have already wasted enough of my valuable time writing this comment. This pianist has no clue what this music is about. But lest I forget, no performance would be anything without the performer's 'interpretation,' or, in this particular case, the performer's gross distortion.
You are so correct!
Glad you are the only human on the planet that knew Brahms intention, since you know him how about getting him on youtube to recite this correct. If thats not possible a video of you playing it "correct" would be awesome!
@@organman52 May I request it perfomed on the Flentrop organ?
@@tombjornebark I do not believe this piece would work on the organ. In fact, I know it wouldn't. And why a Flentrop?
@@organman52 One o my favorite organs, hard to top the sound.
I don't get it... Who is this man? Why are we listening to him? Why is HE giving his opinion on-line about GLENN GOULD?! Why are we applauding his performance of what is an ELEMENTARY Brahms intermezzo? - from the score no less! You better have a LEGACY of lauded recordings to your name before you set yourself up like this!
Exactly. But like the 'supporters' of the orange monster who masqueraded as the president for four years, the followers of Mr. Bernstein are delusional.
Dear God, what a trolling twit.
What's the matter, you can't handle somebody having an opinion that isn't your own?
@@drgaryb13 I certainly can - CHALLENGE my opinion - EDUCATE me as to what's so great about Seymore - but don't make out I'm not perfectly entitled to express my opinion.
@@drgaryb13 Not really. But YOU, on the other hand, cannot stand a dose of THE TRUTH.
He plays the piece so distortedly slow, that is is almost unrecognizable and it makes his self aggrandization from his story saying he played better than Brahms, all too much to bear! LOL.
The poor man is ill - mentally.
