Whenever I watch these videos, they never fail to brighten my day. Thank you for that. These wouldn’t be half as funny if the musical performances were actually good. Well, in case of Gulda and a few others, they indeed are, but they juxtapose the old way of conducting beside the piano and the new school of gesticulating with the hands! In the case of classical-era concertos, all you have to do is play col basso or continuo and you’re all set…
@@TrickstersMusic The kind of untrammelled ego and condescension Schiff displays on a regular basis towards all but the few who genuinely idolise him is disheartening. Wait until he accuses all of his critics of antisemitism, that might do the job.

Gould is leading Mahler 4, though, right? Then at least he does not have to worry about playing at the same time. But yes, he looks reasonably sober by contrast with some of the other characters...
But by 2:18, it has already slipped into the last (4th) movement of the Shostakovich #1. Those interjections in the strings are nasty to play, are require considerable amounts of "private prayer"...^^
@@UtsyoChakraborty I looked him up and saw that he recorded with Karajan!! How is that even possible??? His playing is so horrible... I just don't understand...
@@artsongtranspositions : Thanks for the reply... i have played the tutti viola part just once, but had forgotten that cool ending.

I actually feel very pretty offended by people playing Rachmaninoff and then conducting themselves. The only benefit I would say was to "impress" the audience and make it almost a circus show. I have performed both Rach 2 and Rach 3 and next year I am going to perform them again. Rachmaninoff himself was extremely sensitive and would not tolerate any imperfection. However, if you look at the greatest pianists, then don't conduct while playing Rachmaninoff. Take Pletnev for example, who is a conductor for many years. He doesn't do that because he knows that any lack of concentration in playing Rachmaninoff's concertos would be disastrous will be probably disrespectful. These "pianists" are nowhere near the level of Pletnev or Argerich or any, and from the recording, the piano playing sounds terrible (I have taken into account the lack of recording quality), the interpretation sounded extremely careless. I am pretty sure Rachmaninoff would be extremely offended when hearing these "interpretations", as I was pretty sure then were worse than Grazunov's failure in performing Rachmaninoff's first symphony which led to his depression for many years. Please respect Rachmaninoff. He wrote catchy tones but it doesn't mean he was only able to please the audience with some sort of "Yanki Doodle" and he was by no means a "second-rate" composer as many would believe.
The fail of the Tchaikovsky is too hilarious! Esp the horn
Driest piano concerto no. 1 horns in my life 😆😆😆
The beginning is absolutely the best part

Good God...that Totentanz was something else
Performing a Rachmaninoff concerto with out an independent conductor is a deranged madness i did not phathom possible.
1:29 I will die now 🤣🤣🤣🤣
1:15 I think that he is a conductor here, not a pianist. The piece is Mahler’s Symphony No. 2, 4th movement, which doesn’t incide a solo piano.
Glenn Gould is a pianist and he is demonstrating some killer conducting technique. But don't you worry, he ended up keeping his day job.
@@artsongtranspositions Haha I’m grossly late but yea ofc that’s glenn gould my bad lol
2:29 I absolutely need to know who is this guy.

Can't stop laughing... great video
What the hell did happened from 1:47 on? Is that frightening sound from piano?
I think that would be totentanz by liszt
@@snickydoodle4744 I don’t think that’s the piano tho 💀
The timpani combined with the low register on the piano, I believe.
Andras Schiff actually conducts a lot of symphonic work these days.
With questionable results...

1:20 was that Gould
Yes
He was conducting Mahler 2nd
5:22 too lmao
Hahaha whaaattt 😭 look at the poor leader at the very end he’s so relieved it’s over 😂
It is so crazy to think that Gould was the most sane conductor here? Btw, Gavrilov is even worst that I remembered, he should be banned from playing 🙄
