Quel bonheur, merci Madame ! C'est rigolo de voir au fur et à mesure toutes les personnes présentes arrêter leurs activités et se mettre debout autour d'elle et du piano et l'écouter... Personne ne peut rester insensible à son jeu extraordinaire !
I’m sad Frans Bruggen is gone, I loved his attitude at the beginning to this young woman and it made me wish I could have met him during the time he was still alive!
Ma che bel regalo di Natale. Conosco, artisticamente, la Argerich ma non la Pires. In questo concerto c'è tutto; un miscuglio eccezionale dove troviamo un'orchestra nota per le sue prestazioni, un direttore molto bravo, un Mozart che non ha bisogno di citazioni e due pianiste di fama mondiale che ci hanno deliziato ed emozionato con la loro esibizione. La standing ovation: meritatissima. Bravi Sono contento di avere ascoltato questa mattina questo concerto. 26.12.2021 con la loro esibizione.
It's a straight strung Erard! Beautiful, and wonderful touch from this pianist. I hope that all pianists have awareness of the instruments of Sebastian Erard :)
And all Fortepiani of that period in my opinion are superior instruments to piano made now. Not because they couldn't make them that way but because they've gone in the wrong direction for over a century now. You just have to read steinway's motto to realize they've completely lost it : "the best pianos that have ever been made". The problem is not how they make them, it's not the unnecessary nanometer precision it's their paradigm of what a good piano is ... is n the swamp. You can get very far in the wrong direction by keeping on claiming you make the best of something and have some kind of monopoly.
Yes, non musicians and non pianists may not know how incredible that is. You can master a piece and still not be able to talk while playing. This means she knows the concerto beyond conscious ability.
@@christopherczajasager9030 false. That is your ear conditioned to hear modern overstrung cables piano sound. This is how a piano should sound and it is a singing tone that you don't realize over youtube. I know because i've played a 1848 Pleyel.
Merveilleuse pianiste, que j'admire depuis toujours. Le piano est désaccordé. Certains Erards à cordes parallèles sonnent bien, mais n' ont pas la puissance des Erards avec les cadres en fonte, ni leur rondeur de son. De toutes façons des pianos de grande qualité, joués en effet par Liszt , Chopin, Faure. Yves Nat a enregistré sur Erard de concert, cordes croisées ( modèle rare, à 90 notes). Les pianos français du début du 20 eme siècle ( Pleyel et Erard en particulier) n'avaient rien à envier aux Steinway et autres Beschtein de la même époque.
This the way and the fashion how to play Chopin piano concerto 2.You have to listen only top 3.Maria Joao Pires! Grigory Sokolov playing Chopin 2 concerto the best concerto playing in the history.Witold Malcuzynski the other one who plays the right way with a golden tone.We must forget all the others like K.Zimerman Pollini Arrau Kissin Lang Lang M.Pletnev Stephen Hough the cool tone Chopin 2 concerto players.Rubinstein and W.Kempff we can listen also
What is old? Without Steinway pianos would still be made like this. This is not a fortepiano like Stein, Walter, Conrad, with a Viennese Action, but essentially a modern piano that has to be tuned four times a year instead of two. Playing it will bring you much closer to Beethoven-Schubert-Schumann-Brahms-Wagner-Ravel-Debussy than playing on the Steinway or its clone the Yamaha!
If you're lucky you can do with only 1 or 2 tunings a year. Works fine with my Grand Modèle de Concert, as long as humidity levels are constantly between 50-60%. I absolutely agree with you: this is by no means a fortepiano :)
To all the naysayers in the comments, this piano is definitively a confirmed fortepiano Erard 1850 grand concert model, proven by the shape of the side cornices and not a later Erard early modern piano. This is the type of piano Liszt or Chopin would have had access to and the fact that Chopin's music can be played more beautifully on it than on a modern overstrung piano when the very talented and musical pianist Maria Joao is playing is very meaningful about the superiority of the piano of that time compared to today's steinways. I suspect she wanted to try the piano with Chopin's music precisely because it is a concert piano from Chopin's era although not a Pleyel.
I played a recital in het Concertgebouw, Erard before the intermission, Pleyel after. Majority of colleagues as I preferred the Pleyel.No wonder Erard lost favor over the last years...no comparison to Steinway, Bluethner, Boesendorfer, C.Bechstein....undoubtedly a place in the first year's of the piano makers in France.....a good "Model T Ford" so to speak in piano building history
@@christopherczajasager9030 You're just one of those meaningless mediocre pianists based on your hateful comments and you've been proved wrong. Maria Joao is playing a 1850 Erard concert grand Piano forte here, from that exact year, not an early modern piano. And it's far better than a modern steinway for Chopin.
Must agree with 1Abmsghost. Please let us enjoy without dictating what is best or not. You're entitled to your opinion. Just don't confuse it with fact. None of these pianists earned a reputation for being incompetent. All have their strengths and weaknesses like every other human being. Please stop the dictatorial rants.

Erard, Paris, mid -- 1800s I guess, maybe later. Looks like a Grand de concert, maybe an Xtra grand de concert to me. After inventing the "double-escape" action and under cooperation with - and feedback from Franz Liszt, Erard built the first modern concert grands ever and was the Steinway of his time - one of the most popular pianos sold (his main competitor was Pleyel; Chopin preferred those). The company went into decline in the 1920s-30s and out of business after WWII.
Shura Cherkassky a far greater player of Chopin when asked if he plays these poor predecessors of the great piano makers. He said" I don't want to play on Model T Ford "...Pleyels are much more satisfying IF you gave to play on such....
Its not from the same period and school of piano making. This is more "modern" piano from around 1850 I would say. Cant see the brand, but I guess its french... French/english makers were the opposite of viennense makers(Mozart's fortepiano) and much more closer to what we know today as a piano(pianoforte is the original name in italian, as the instrument could play from piano to forte). We ended calling it as just "piano", but some places still call it "pianoforte"
Quel bonheur , Maria, de vous entendre !
Merci pour la musique , merci pour votre humanité si profonde qui nous touche et bravo !
wonderful...so fresh..so alive...pires is so delicate..so shy..full of magic..muses float around her..there is hope
She has the divine gift of making the piano sing.
In my personal opinion, the best performer of all time in Chopin's creativity.💝
This is one of my favourite videos on all of RUclips. We’re very lucky to listen to these rare moments of magic captured on film.
Such beautiful technique - wonderful to see (and of course, hear)!
Quel bonheur, merci Madame !

love this womans playing
Encantado! Que leveza técnica perfeita. Amei!!!
muito bom
I’m sad Frans Bruggen is gone, I loved his attitude at the beginning to this young woman and it made me wish I could have met him during the time he was still alive!
Young woman? Maria João Pires was 70 yo there more or less, and the best pianist in the world...
Carla Bruscolini I’m sorry lmfao I wrote this on my old account, I thought she was young I didn’t know her age at the time!!
Bravo Maria João Pires.

Wonderful ! Thanks for sharing. Miss Joao Pires is amazing !
Awesome ! And wonderful!

What a wonderful sound!
She has small hands and plays amazing
Yenna as long as you can reach an octave hand size doesnt really matter
So did Josef Hofman, S.Cherkassky
not that small, they look medium.
So amazing

It is surely not the most amazing thing she's able to do, but how can she talk at the same time she plays Chopin like that!
do You play like She does ? lol

@@emmanuelsebaali1767 Sure is.
I think the fortepiano is a Paris-Érard about 1840-45. Perhaps Chopin played a similar one. Pour connaisseurs. Fantastique !!
Sounds like a worn out out of tune upright

Very enjoyable video. The only video on the channel, but a very good one

Incredible.
All the musicians stopped to admire her play .........
One of the most underrated pianists of all time --- I put her with Argerich and Horowitz in my mind, just fantastic artistry.

The Bechstein was Debussy's favorite.....imagine the Liszt-Wagner Tsnnhaeuser on this bleak disaster
76 years is enough..haha
@@WannesVanderhoeven I believe that this particular Erard would need constant tuning and am doubtful that it would never hold one pristine tuning .
Fabulous

This is not a fortepiano. It is a piano, just an old French/Viennese one with light action.
Pianoforte
I can't stand people leaning in on me when I'm playing. I feel like turning into Moe Howard on them.
The piano part of this Chopin concerto sounds even better without the orchestra.
Think just the reverse......

Super?
Why are fortepianos always out of tune?
they're not, your ear is conditionned with overstrung modern pianos. But also, yes many might be out of tune because they're not used often.
The piano needs tuning very badly
Actually it doesnt
Shura Cherkassky a far greater player of Chopin when asked if he plays these poor predecessors of the great piano makers. He said" I don't want to play on Model T Ford "...Pleyels are much more satisfying IF you gave to play on such....
not at all. You're conditioned with modern overstrung cables piano sound.
The sound is still not good.
Looks like it has 85 keys..But fortepianos in Mozart's time had less...
Its not from the same period and school of piano making. This is more "modern" piano from around 1850 I would say. Cant see the brand, but I guess its french...
