Un moment rare d'émotion. Interprétation bouleversante de ce concerto composé par Bartok à la veille de sa mort. Hélène Grimaud s'élève ici à la hauteur, et même au dessus des plus grands qui se sont risqués à interpréter cette ouvre profonde et toute en subtilité. Bravo Hélène, bravissimo.
J'ai du mal avec cette œuvre. Je suis très touché par le second mouvement. Mais le reste j ai du mal. Que me conseillez vous pour pouvoir comprendre le 1et et 3ème mouvement ...?

Chère Hélène, aide-moi s'il te plaît à monter sur scène. Je ne veux pas être le deuxième film "The Pianist". Mais ça va cette route. Je vous souhaite bonne chance tous les soirs!
Enregistrement calamiteux qui gâche l'exceptionnelle virtuosité de Madame Hélène Grimaud ainsi que des musiciens sous la bonne direction de Monsieur John Adams. Dans des conditions normales de prise de son, nous aurions pu apprécier grâce aux artistes musiciens, toutes les subtilités des angoisses et les nuances des états d'âme violents de Bela Bartók. Quel dommage !
In all honesty,the easiest of the three Bartok piano concertos...the other two are off the scale...(no pun intended)...😊😊 Still,she does play BOTH Brahms concertos...😊😊
A great piano concerto by Bartok. Not very popular these days as performers and orchestras, but more irritating than anything, producers, today look after repertories of what the "sells." Not necessarily you can blame them, classical music is fading. A good example Hauser, not a great cellist, but fills up an auditorium by 300% or more that Miasky. With his "Foster" type; laser beams and spectacle where his virtues as a cellois disguised by the "circus. around him. Nonetheless, we still have this site to follow and view the real musicians. Grimaud is absolutely great. But even with her, what has happened ? You can not find anymore anything by her
@@a.f.4248 Alef - My remark does not imply anything derogatory about the work, the artist or the performance. I love Grimaud's playing and I respect the hell out of her. "So what?" Well, here's what. If you've ever done any performing on stage, you'll realize that this is dangerous. The lid could fall much more easily in this (wrong) configuration, especially considering a percussive piece like this Bartok. Also, if the performer spots this mistake too late, it can distract them and throw the performance off (obviously that did not happen here - and if it did, Gimaud is such an incredible performer that she didn't let it freak her out). Normally in professional performances such as this, you don't see this type of oversight (I'm assuming you didn't spot it, either?) If there's criticism intended here, it would have to be directed at the stage crew who placed the piano on stage and prepared it for Grimaud's entrance.
Argerich's version is akin to going to a great dentist. The exploration is gentle, totally in the moment, with an abundance of incomparable experience. BTW - I think that she had contempt for the orchestra (or more likely the conductor), at the time.
We all have different sensibilities. An artist may move you more than another is an inexplicable phenomenon. Martha Argerich is undoubtedly a great artist but she never touched me.
@@spotharriet Presumably because it is a compromise-based Bartók piece of music, adapted to American taste, with more lyrical elements in it than in his previous works. My favourite Bartók-piece is the Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion.
@@loge10 Yes, the 2nd piano concerto is a real treat, I love it, but I still put the 6 string quartets ahead. I can't understand why Bartók didn't emigrate to Switzerland. I understand it was hard to assess the situation, but at least there were personal friends and connections there. Someone very convinced him that he could safely finish his folk music research in the States, in a library. He just wasn’t told what he was going to make a living from because there wasn’t really a demand for his research work and its results there, at that time. Unfortunately, so many people weren’t interested in his brilliant piano playing, even though he was a great virtuoso. His "impresario" could not take advantage of, claiming that in the midst of a big scramble there was no demand for his piano playing.
Wow, she looks and plays so cautiously at the final page or so. And so much of this seems boring, like she's just a really good student, rather than a real professional. How old is she here?

who unnecessarily squeezed aspect ratio? They aren't all that narrow!
My friend said to me for Procofief the piano is percussion.
Wow ! Big discovery ! A pianoforte has been a percussion instrument ever since it was invented (XViiith century).
@@a.f.4248 it is a percussion instrument. The harpsichord is a stringed instrument, in which the strings are plucked rather than struck by hammers.
Tragisch: der Schluss des Werks ist nicht mehr aus Bartoks Hand. Man kann es allerdings nicht hören, so gut ist alles gemacht.
The piano part of the last 17 bars is probably of Bartók. The orchestration of the mentioned last section was finished by Tibor Serly.
Enregistrement calamiteux qui gâche l'exceptionnelle virtuosité de Madame Hélène Grimaud ainsi que des musiciens sous la bonne direction de Monsieur John Adams. Dans des conditions normales de prise de son, nous aurions pu apprécier grâce aux artistes musiciens, toutes les subtilités des angoisses et les nuances des états d'âme violents de Bela Bartók.

Great video but too bad the aspect ratio is wrong....
+zetmoon - This was to improve the film quality of my old video recording.
+piano345 but the wrong aspect ratio only makes it worse....
Watching it small screen resolution rather than full screen, it's adequate.
It is quite distracting, I agree.
It can be fixed. I will do it and repost. Added later: Sorry the fix turned out to be poor quality Will not repost.
