My regular teacher for nine years, from August 2010 to September 2019. Who ever else will play with the charm of his nearly hundred years old hands? In nine years he taught what means to play with joy. He taught me freedom, sometimes provocation. He taught me a lot about the sound, even though, I'll never be able to achieve his unsurpassed sound quality. He used to say exactly the same about HIS teacher, Edwin Fischer and about his sound. He was for me more than a teacher and taught me more than the piano. Never more I'll stop by his door after our lessons, spying how he was practising, hearing to his wonderful sound. And when I arrived at his home, I always spent a few minutes listening while he was playing, before entering his door: those were his best moments, the practising time. He made miracles during his own practising time. And his lessons were endless. After we'd go eat together at the Strozzi Café, just in the Zeltgasse, where his viennese house is.
Oh my God how luck y You I adore Mr.Badura Skoda since a Chile, Heard him in Mexico((Guadalajara), he and his wife so gentile. He signed my Nixa record mofo a Bethoven trio with Janigro and J. Fournier...oh my I was so grateful....
Tanti anni fa durante un concerto a Novara chiese se qualcuno in platea era disposto a salire sul palco per girargli le pagine.....ero un ragazzino entusiasta per il pianoforte. Corsi su da lui e fu una splendida esperienza. Devo a Paul se mi misi a studiare seriamente il pianoforte. Quella sera interpretò l'op. 106 e la sonata "tempesta". Che ricordi belli, grazie Paul@ ...
In 1984 I was a broke-struggling African American in Philadelphia Pennsylvania but a lover of classical music, Motown and early rap in those days. I went to a thrift store and collected several of Paul Badura-Skoda and Phillipe Entremonts recordings. One pf Paul Badura-Skoda's recordings stayed with me, the Chopin 1st Piano Concerto in E. Thanks Mr. Paul Badura-Skoda and God bless.
I still have the 2 vinyl disc set of Entrmont's playing. This two disc set would probably be considered his encore pieces that he performed after many years of recitals. I play it frequently.
Until his very last concert, his witty smile matched his brilliant music ! Paul Badura-Skoda was a huge inspiration and source of knowledge as a human being, a professor and a musician. May he remain as such !
I'm so glad to have found this, this first day of 2021. THANK you! With joy I was reading all the favoring comments on this wonderful pianist, whom I was privileged to hear in concert in Austria, at the tender age of 10 . . . as I was well into discovering my love for the piano. Always admired ! RIP great master!
Steven SteveO ..... Franz Liszt deserves some credit too since he made virtuoso transcriptions of Schubert's compositions. Schubert composed for several mediums other than piano and wasn't a great pianist himself whereas Liszt was considered the best pianist in the world at the time.
Can't stop crying listening to this wonderful concert. Just amazing how huge is Paul's juvenility, wit and intensity. Thank you, Rest in Peace for us, M. Badura-Skoda.
la personne avec laquelle j'ai pris le plus de plaisir a jouer avec, et surtout la personne la plus humaine qu'il ne m'a ete donne de rencontrer! Merci Paul pour ta carriere qui nous permet d'embrasser le beau grace a toi!
I wrote to him a decade ago, and he responded with very warm words. His Schubert sonatas from the 1960's (RCA, now on compact disk through Warner ) are superlative.
RIP legend!I hear and feel more than music when I listen to the maestro! His magical piano playing transports me to where I want to be in my mind and soul!!!
It’s a wonderful and rare opportunity , to see and hear Paul Badura Skoda at his Ninities , so Beautiful sound , so perfect memory !! Thanks to this canal for sharing , thanks to Lorenzo Po … for the sensible testimony he shared with us. ❤️🎶
I would not be honest were I not to say I am saddened and a little heartbroken to see and hear this great Viennese master, Paul Badura-Skoda, play a recital with such obvious deterioration in his once great artistic and pianistic skills. There are flashes here and there of his once great artistry, but the master was 91 here, and his obvious frailty tells of his recent sufferings from cancer as well as advanced old age. However, his memory is still mostly there. This turned out to be his farewell recital, as he passed away a few months later. Hardly an example of his best playing, but he left behind a great legacy of books and recordings attesting to his supreme artistry, scholarship and musicianship for which we can be forever grateful. RIP Maestro.
Браво, маэстро! В таком возрасте отыграть сольный концерт- это подвиг во имя служения музыке! Рояль звучит удивительно певуче, насыщенным тембром! ❤👌🙏🙏
What an outstanding and great live performance, what unbelievable skill, what superlative transforming of notes into sound, what harmony!!! Another grand old Master of the piano has left us - and the music world in tears. May you, Paul, find eternal harmony and Rest in Peace!
It fills my heart with warmth and joy to see a man at this age still able to play concert quality material. It also fills me with sadness to know he is no longer with us, but also with joy and gratitude at a long life, well-lived and able to share his gift of music with the world. May this great man rest in peace. Thanks for posting! ~Jackie
I think it is fantastic for a man of this age to have such a prodigious memory, I am 57 with such difficulty already memorizing data and information, that will say playing so many pieces without reading the score.
Those certain moments..., manifest the grandiosity of this great figure in the history of music... Absolutely mesmerizing.......It´s just the phisical body which doesn´t stand any more....reflexes, articulaions.........Shubert............NO BODY ELSE has interpreted Shubert as this MASTER....Thank you...Always together!
Caro Paul, che fortuna averti conosciuto ed aver trascorso del tempo con te passeggiando per Vienna ,Roma ed Alghero . Rimarrai sempre nella mia memoria ,grazie per quello che ci hai dato ❤
We all live our time and share it with the little birds, the plants, and the wind. We all enjoy it. We shouldn't think too much about the end. But there will be a final cadence, a closure that will really be such. There has to be a final one. That final cadence on the Mozart and the pianist's commitment to it brought me to tears. That was his one. His last one.
...A legend on a Bösendorfer plays now in eternal spheres. Whether the audience was aware of this recital being his last, I don’t know, PBS certainly was. One of the reference pianists for Vienna Classics. RIP
Two years ago the Maestro told me "I should want to die on the platform performing..." and he succeeded. For him it was a question of fidelity to his Art, to his entire life...A great artist, a great human being too! Joël Rigal
N'oubliez pas, mike bk, que M. Badura-Skoda a plus de 90 ans. Il est admirable qu’il ait encore de la force et de la capacité de relever le défi de jouer tout un récital dans la salle Vienna Wienerverein. M. Badura-Skoda n'est peut-être pas dans sa meilleure forme technique, mais musicalement, ses interprétations sont merveilleuses. Elles révèlent la sagesse d'un artiste qui a mis toute sa vie au service de la musique.
I saw Paul Badura-Skoda play a recital in an oversized barn in Madison when I was a graduate student in the 1960s, before there was an adequate concert hall on campus. His presence was unforgettable. He gave me an appreciation for Schubert that I have never lost.
It's always incredible to see musicians continue to perform at an extremely high level well into old age. As a violinist, I personally look up to Nathan Milstein in this regard; he gave his last concert at the age of 82. This video was a fantastic find.
I share Sean Brown's admiration for Nathan Milstein, the Master of Masters. However, the famous "last" recital in Stockholm was not his last concert. I heard him play the Beethoven Concerto and some stunning solo Bach in November 1987 which was almost a year and a half after Stockholm. He had a few awkward moments in the Beethoven and NONE in the Bach. Was he still the great Milstein ? Absolutely and convincingly!
Amazing concert at the end of an amazing life given to music! We are most fortunate to have had his gift shared over decades even to his last days. His prodigious memory, phrasing and lyricism over the years will remain with us. May Maestro Paul Badura-Skoda rest in peace.
My first LP as a child was by Paul Badura-Skoda and I listened to it over and over, knowing at a young age, that this was a very special musician I wanted to emulate.
I still remember his very beautiful performance of Beethoven's Second Piano Concerto. That was January 11 & 12, 1972 with the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra at De Doelen in Rotterdam. I was in the orchestra playing viola then. The performance was a wonderful experience for me; very impressive. Thanks so much for posting this great performance, taking me back 48 years!
@@hwh1946 No. 1972 was long before Conlin became the music director in Rotterdam. The music director was Jean Fournet and the assistant was Edo de Waart.
Heard Badura-Skoda live in recital once back in 1989 at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. He played some late opus Brahms Intermezzi andCapriccios as well as the Chopin B Minor Sonata (#3) in the first half and then, after the intermission, played with the university orchestra Mozart's D Minor Piano Concerto, K 466. Loved that recital/concert as it was very inspiring. I remember that prior to the recital, he visited the Plant Science building and wanted to meet with the Austrian graduate students. What a great tribute to his fellow Austrian citizens! Also have very much enjoyed over the past 25 years a Badura-Skoda recording I have of the 32 Beethoven Piano Sonatas played on fortepianos from the time of Beethoven. So thankful for all that he gave us. RIP, Maestro.
Gracias, Thank you, Merçi. Mil gracias por los testimonios que comparten y que me emocionan corroboran las grandezas de este gran maestro.Qué talento, qué sensibilidad...Tengo 55 años, toco el piano desde los 8 y me he pasado muchos años sin poder hacerlo debido a una enfermedad en las fibras y los músculos, afortunadamente y gracias a una medicación apropiada vuelvo cada día a recuperar un poquito más la técnica, las destrezas, la sensibilidad...quisiera poder vivir muchos años para poder acercarme a la emoción de llegar a estas edades ofreciendo tanto al mundo y disfrutando al compartir tanta belleza...Gracias,maestro..
Around 2002 I got to see him playing live here in Brazil. I was already an amateur pianist for about 15 years, but his performance of Beethoven's Appassionata blew my mind. That night he changed completely my way of understand and feel the piano.
Tuve el placer de entrevistar largamente al maestro en Barcelona a finales de los ochenta para una de las principales revistas españolas de crítica discográfica, y de acompañarlo al aeropuerto junto a la clavecinista Maria Lluisa Cortada, auténtica pionera entonces. Vivía con pasión su arte y me pareció un caballero al viejo estilo. Conservo su tratado sobre la interpretación de Mozart. Estando desconcetado completamente del mundo musical desde mediados de los noventa le había perdido la pista y ha sido una sopresa tremenda verlo nonagenario dando conciertos como siempre! Excpecional. Ha muerto con las botas puestas. Dios lo tenga en su gloria Paul. (escribo con pseudónimo)
Rest in peace, noble soul who gifted countless persons with your art. Over 60 years ago I fell in love with Schubert's Impromptus played by your gifted hands. I still remember your playing of the op. 142 no. 2, clear in my mind even after hearing it hundreds of times later.
A very exciting piece, played with great skill and technique, excellent control of the dynamics. Wonderful video production Thanks for sharing! Best wishes, Eliab
Tuve la dicha de escucharlo tocar en Lima conciertos de mozart y un programa con los estudios sinfónicos de schumann... Un gran maestro de mucho legado... Gran sonido de los antiguos...ahora estarás con todos los maestros a quienes interpretaste en el Parnaso de los Músicos ...
Grazie per questo ricordo personale e quindi ancora più rilevante e toccante di un Grande del pianismo del XX Secolo incredibilmente attivo sino agli ultimi mesi di vita. Un Grande Spirito positivo oltre che un Grande Artista. Di lui ricorderò sempre oltre al suo Schubert il suo Mozart, in particolare l'interpretazione insuperabile del Concerto K 456. In Agosto, tornando dalla casa natale di Schubert, sono capitato per Josefstadt e la zona della Piaristenkirche, ma non sapevo che Badura Skoda abitasse lì vicino in Zeltgasse, lo considero a questo punto un omaggio postumo oltre che a Schubert anche ad uno dei suoi massimi interpreti.
I see him in the late seventeens here in Guadalajara México, first in the essays with the orchestra and then in de live concert. Maybe 1978 or 1979. Incredible playing that way at this age. Thanks!
Thank you for posting this. Great musician and playing his landsmam's most beautiful music. Just listened to Demus's last performance. Fitting they died so closely together. And both today played Schubert. Just for me. Sort of.
Rest in peace master Badura-Skoda. It must've been so hard for him to give this performance, at his age and while fighting cancer. You could see how those 2 factors influence his playing, how he was too slow especially on the second impromptu. I really feel so incredibly bad for my all-time hero. But I'm also amazed that he was willing to go so far to give us 1 more performance even when his life was being threatened by this horrible disease. He has always been in my top 3 Schubert performers, and it's so sad that he passed away. My thoughts go out to his family and dear friends.
The first time I heard Paul Badura Skoda was in 1962 at the Concertbebouw in Amsterdam (small hall) He played there an all Schubert program: The complete Moments Musicaux op. 94, Sonate op. 143 DV 784 and Sonata in Bes op. posth. DV 960. It's very impressive and emotional to hear him now on his Final recital. It's a worthy document to remember this great pianist forever.
In 1964, Paul Badura-Skoda, spent a year at the U.W. Madison Music School, then under the aegis of the brilliant Gunnar Johansen! When approached by UW to head music school, he was hesitant only until hearing the Beaux Arts Trio were already there! My UW highschool was experimenting with an active arts program, teaching art lit. & Music beginning with Giotto and Gregorian chant! Same time dad was at WHA oldest station in the nation and an admiring friend of Gunnar and Lorraine! WHA ran live broadcasts of Mr. Badura-Skoda's master classes for an entire 2 semesters! UW knewhow to spend it's money! This was plan of Wis Idea; to extend education to boundaries of state! Almost there now: I said Daddy, why not ask him to address our class! They vmade me ask Gunnar in person! Of course, I had no idea how high I was flying! Gunnar asked him but said he doubted Mr. Badura-Skoda's schedule would permit! I met the great man at his office in Music Hall and was politely refused! I thought of everything I could, I described our program finally, in desperation, I said he could talk about something no one ever let him talk about! His eyes zoomed off in the distance & I was very still; suddenly, he said to an invisible entity, Bruckner! He turned abruptly to me and said "I will do it, but I will need a ride to the airport after! He was delightful at school, the entire school crammed into the band room, the principap sticking his head in the room giving in and staying! The thought of such an afternoon clearly horrified Mr. Badura-Skoda's but I gave him something he liked ! I hooked him with a win win solution! He hums the note to find it! He talked about math and music and let us trail after him, it was a college level talk he had fun being free to express himself in a comfortable and I guess no one else wanted him to talk about Bruckner! My baby steps in producing! The horn player Paul Haack, who led our band, was thrilled to drive our guest to the airport! Memorable way for a highschool to end it's days!
I recently made a short film based on PBS's 1967 talk at UW Madison ('Look to the Guiding Stars') - hope it brings back happy memories: www.essencethemovie.com/

Compliments pour un récital à cet âge ! Chapeau Paul Badura-Skoda.
Grazie per questo ricordo personale e quindi ancora più rilevante e toccante di un Grande del pianismo del XX Secolo incredibilmente attivo sino agli ultimi mesi di vita. Un Grande Spirito positivo oltre che un Grande Artista. Di lui ricorderò sempre oltre al suo Schubert il suo Mozart, in particolare l'interpretazione insuperabile del Concerto K 456. In Agosto, tornando dalla casa natale di Schubert, sono capitato per Josefstadt e la zona della Piaristenkirche, ma non sapevo che Badura Skoda abitasse lì vicino in Zeltgasse, lo considero a questo punto un omaggio postumo oltre che a Schubert anche ad uno dei suoi massimi interpreti.
I see him in the late seventeens here in Guadalajara México, first in the essays with the orchestra and then in de live concert. Maybe 1978 or 1979. Incredible playing that way at this age. Thanks!
A Great maestro
A remarkable pianist! Hope he can rest in peace🙏
I remember well meeting him when he gave a Masterclass in Oberlin, OH, USA in March 2018.
Fantastic!
brilliant musician and virtuose.
Bravo 👏
Möge der Meister in Frieden ruhen und eine angenehme nächste Inkarnation haben.
Amazing!!!
He was 90 years old. Descansa en paz amigo. RIP.

Thanks for uploading!
Thank you for posting this. Great musician and playing his landsmam's most beautiful music. Just listened to Demus's last performance. Fitting they died so closely together. And both today played Schubert. Just for me. Sort of.
Realmente me hace pensar, cómo una persona puede estar un dia llena de vida, tocando de esta manera, e irse 4 meses después. Cómo es la vida...
Dio ti benedica Paul ora sei con Lui...
This music is now with his soul for his return at another time and place. 💐💐💐🌟🌟🌟
Rest in peace master Badura-Skoda. It must've been so hard for him to give this performance, at his age and while fighting cancer. You could see how those 2 factors influence his playing, how he was too slow especially on the second impromptu. I really feel so incredibly bad for my all-time hero. But I'm also amazed that he was willing to go so far to give us 1 more performance even when his life was being threatened by this horrible disease. He has always been in my top 3 Schubert performers, and it's so sad that he passed away. My thoughts go out to his family and dear friends.
Paul est mort il y a 2 jours. Merci pour ce dernier concert!
I just found out about this guy, and I’m already crying!
The first time I heard Paul Badura Skoda was in 1962 at the Concertbebouw in Amsterdam (small hall) He played there an all Schubert program:
The complete Moments Musicaux op. 94, Sonate op. 143 DV 784 and Sonata in Bes op. posth. DV 960. It's very impressive and emotional to hear him now on his Final recital. It's a worthy document to remember this great pianist forever.
You were lucky. Never heard him or Demus live. Fitting the both died so close to each other.
MERCI....
RIP Maestro
In 1964, Paul Badura-Skoda, spent a year at the U.W. Madison Music School, then under the aegis of the brilliant Gunnar Johansen! When approached by UW to head music school, he was hesitant only until hearing the Beaux Arts Trio were already there!
My UW highschool was experimenting with an active arts program, teaching art lit. & Music beginning with Giotto and Gregorian chant!
Same time dad was at WHA oldest station in the nation and an admiring friend of Gunnar and Lorraine!
WHA ran live broadcasts of Mr. Badura-Skoda's master classes for an entire 2 semesters!
UW knewhow to spend it's money! This was plan of Wis Idea; to extend education to boundaries of state!
Almost there now: I said Daddy, why not ask him to address our class!
They vmade me ask Gunnar in person!
Of course, I had no idea how high I was flying!
Gunnar asked him but said he doubted Mr. Badura-Skoda's schedule would permit!
I met the great man at his office in Music Hall and was politely refused!
I thought of everything I could, I described our program finally, in desperation, I said he could talk about something no one ever let him talk about! His eyes zoomed off in the distance & I was very still; suddenly, he said to an invisible entity, Bruckner! He turned abruptly to me and said "I will do it, but I will need a ride to the airport after!
He was delightful at school, the entire school crammed into the band room, the principap sticking his head in the room giving in and staying!
The thought of such an afternoon clearly horrified Mr. Badura-Skoda's but I gave him something he liked ! I hooked him with a win win solution! He hums the note to find it!
He talked about math and music and let us trail after him, it was a college level talk he had fun being free to express himself in a comfortable and I guess no one else wanted him to talk about Bruckner!
My baby steps in producing! The horn player Paul Haack, who led our band, was thrilled to drive our guest to the airport!
Memorable way for a highschool to end it's days!
I recently made a short film based on PBS's 1967 talk at UW Madison ('Look to the Guiding Stars') - hope it brings back happy memories: www.essencethemovie.com/
Danke und ade...
Lux æterna luceat ei!
