    What makes Barenboim an authority on Beethoven? Well, he was a pupil of Edwin Fischer, who was a pupil of Martin Krause, who was a pupil of Franz Liszt, who was a pupil of Carl Czerny, who was a pupil of Beethoven himself. He is a direct musical descendant of Beethoven!

      Actually, Lang Lang was very gracious to agree to be the student to master teacher Barenboim--Lang Lang who was already a seasoned performer in his own right when this was done. I think this came right after they recorded the Tchaikovsky No 1 together and Barenboim asked him to participate. LL demonstrates once again he's not only a great pianist but a great human being too, willing to take instruction from one of the great Beethoven interpreters of our time.

    What's wonderful and difficult about Beethoven (at least as far as Barenboim's criticisms of Lang Lang's pulse are concerned) is that while Beethoven is romantic, his backbone is so classical and so rhythmically centered. Barenboim really brings out a nuanced tension and release by having Lang Lang obey structure and slip in and out of it, without losing Lang Lang's personal touch to the piece.

    Lang Lang is a classical music phenomenon. I think the versatility with which he plays the piano and the way he conducts his career, LL is already a musician forever. He's making his history like the Beatles, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Duke Ellington, Dizzy Gillespie, Count Basie... Just some of the names I can think of now. There's Ella, unforgettable! All of them, like Lang Lang have an eternal legacy. Generations will come and other musicians will quote him, say his name as an example, frequent environments where they can hear his music. Legacy is more extensive than we imagine, because we don't know where it ends.
    I don!'t need to make mirabolical elucubations to discuss what Lang Lang means in the lives of people who admire him. He's the man! That's it.
    Sometimes I ask myself: does Lang Lang belong to the music or does the music belong to Lang Lang? Meanwhile, I go on with Lang Lang drinking from this inexhaustible fountain of wisdom. That's it for today.

    *EDIT* to answer my own question: Barenboim called in Lang Lang as a last minute kinda thing. The latter had to give up catching the world cup live despite having bought a ticket already. Also according to Lang Lang himself, Barenboim had taken him in as him teacher/mentor for many years. Lang Lang even stayed at Barenboim's house occasionally. He said he was terrified of maestro(while having the upmost respect for him), and rightful so.
    This masterclass took place during that period.
    ==============================================================
    What I noticed after going through the whole series of 6 is that Lang Lang is the only student that referred to the sheet music. I'm a little curious as to why.
    Barenboim is truly an inspiration. One learns so much about life from listening to him talk about music. Highly recommend his BBC documentary "In his own words". Both here and there there exist so many quotable wisdom :D

  • @stevenhaff3332
    @stevenhaff3332 Před 5 lety +44

    I think Mr. Barenboim's answer to the first question after Lang Lang had finished was very instructful because it points to his fundamental view and understanding what music is. I think Barenboim, to his credit, sees and understands music much more than a discipline or activity that one does, no matter how seriously, but as something fundamental to living itself.

    One thing that stood out to me was the fingering choices for the trill sequence around 30:22 Because he does everything with the right hand he's tempted to stall in the displacement. Now compare to Barenboim's 33:50 where he uses his left hand for the transition notes so each trill is followed by another seamlessly.

    I think his face expressions and body movements actually prove that he is really feeling the music and the notes he played. He actually did some movements when he played those big legato sounds for example around 11:45-11:54, and those movements really helped him get those sound out. That‘s lot of misicians would do. If someone play piano seat 100% still with absolutely no face expression and act like a zombie, I am sure that the sound would also like "zombie" with no emotions and airs into music. That‘s nothing wrong with Lang Lang and he played this sonata very good actually.

      Yet completely out of his depth intellectually as well as emotionally in his playing, when faced with an eminence of Barenboim's gravitas ;-) Which of course is fair enough, given their age difference back then. But it also shows how weird it is that Lang Lang is almost a household name compared to Barenboim who is definitely less well known internationally... When it comes to Beethoven, Barenboim (an amazing conductor in his main profession) pretty much is the one to go to. Lang Lang arguably will master other composers to greater effects than him these days, tho.

      He is doing amazing work with his Eastern Diwan. Outstandingly engaged, against a lot of hostility, esp here in Berlin where they fabricated a scandal against him for political reasons. Trying to further dialogue and peace between Israel and Palestine is not something certain powerful circles actually appreciate very much, sadly and shamefully.

  • @JaseBach
    @JaseBach Před 4 lety +13

    Hardly a fan of Lang Lang, I am impressed by his playing of the first movement of the Appassionata here. This was very good piano playing and he prepared meticulously. The numerous nuances impress me more than Maestro Barenboim's supposed improvements. There was a musicality, thoughtfulness and humility that had become less obvious as he became more famous. I love in particular his choice of tempo. The tempo of this movement is tricky; there are twelve beats to the bar and even famous pianists make the mistake of playing too fast and turning twelve beats to four beats in a bar. Here, you can hear all twelve beats. This is an aspect of Beethoven not often mentioned. If you follow his time signature and count every beat, you have got the right tempo, and that's what Lang Lang achieved here so beautifully. However admirable and impressive though, the interpretation was only a work in progress. The pathos, the anger and the metaphysical are dimensions of this work hardly touched on yet. Within the confines of a masterclass, Barenboim was only dealing with the trees; there is a wood and a mountain out there to be explored. Barenboim's Beethoven cycle in Berlin is a testament to this. Paradoxically, the wide-eyed approach adopted by Lang Lang makes easier listening than Barenboim's mature and tortured interpretations. You can love this music to death.

  • @martian-sunset
    @martian-sunset Před 5 lety +12

    Barenboim keyed right into the flaw in Lang Lang's playing. He ignores the deeper fundamental pulse in the music for the sake of "expression" or surprise. I've listened to a lot of his playing and seen him live and I too had that sense of "where is he going with this?". Each section of a piece is disconnected from the others for it's own sake rather than a continued building up and moving forward. He's a very good pianist with technique to burn but...there's a lot of those kinds of players around.

  • @clivepierce1816
    @clivepierce1816 Před 3 lety +17

    I’ve never forgotten what Barenboim once said when he was rehearsing a violin concerto with Maxim Vengerov. He held up the score and said, “This is not the concerto. It contains everything but what is essential to make music”. Simply playing the notes without a sense of what the music is trying to communicate isn’t music making.
    Barenboim’s performance at the end of this video is masterful. It highlights the gulf in musicianship between the master and the student. It comes as no surprise that very few amongst the myriad of instrumental players ever become masterful musicians.

  • @skillsunlimitedbyprescyg.t7503

    Kudos! The producer of this video did justice to Music. Very interesting and useful to piano teachers.This tandem of two masters is rare. Maestro Barenboim taught very well and Master Lang Lang is a good student. The facial reaction of Lang Lang is awesome. He internalizes ss he said he sees construction of big bldgs. Me?
