Fascinating. Weissenberg's expressive explanations are really wonderful. Thank you for this.
Quite fascinating! Here's man who not only played the piano supremely well but thought about it a great deal. Compelling reflections. Thanks a lot for sharing.
C'était un humain adorable, et bien sûr un artiste de premier plan. Merci pour ce document magnifique.
I love Weissenberg's Petrouchka. It is so driven, so dynamically contrasted, so dry in certain moments. It has the quality, necessary for all 'touchstone' performances, that as hear it, you cannot believe it could be played differently, or better, by anyone else. Stand-alone timeless quality.
The interviews are also interesting, showing his multi-culturalism, overall level of education, refinement.
I love this man
He speaks so many languages!
Thanks for sharing - a very interesting interview!
Merci pour ce partage exceptionnel !
Thank you very much for this great video about that great film :)
Wow! R.I.P. Alexis W.
PHENOMENAL!!
ワイセンベルクさん、あなたがいなくてさびしく、悲しいです。
どんなにあなたのピアノで勇気づけられたでしょう。
本当にあなたのコンサートは素晴らしかった!
今、ユーチューブの映像とＣＤを聴いて、ワイセンベルクさんを偲んでいます。
どうか、病気で思い通りに弾けなかったピアノを天国でいっぱい弾いてくださいね。
ワイセンベルクさん、大好きです。
あなたとあなたのピアノは生涯忘れません。
こんな素晴らしい映像をアップロードしていただき、ありがとうございます。
very interesting indeed! thanks!
😍😍😍😍😍
La idea y razones para tocar en playback es extraordinaria.
You should hear the Rubinstein performance at the carnegie hall. Where did this Rubinstein come from ? It's unbelievable!
Thanks for uploading. Can you provide any further information about the source of this interview? I'm asking for research purposes.
Very intelligent & lucid,with a sort of dry charm,an excellent description and background of his film.I enjoyed it especially cos this pianist is among my least favorite,(i detest most of his recordings and the one time"live"was a disaster),and this gives me a new respect for one who was obviously a fine artist in his way.Another,unlikely dimension has been given to AW recently by the release of his jazzy parafrases of Charles Trenet(played by M-A Hamelin),unexpectedly enjoyable!
Got you... Hamelin's versions of Weissenberg clearly show he was a fan of this pianist, one of the precursors of 'super-virtuoso' pianism. But it's as if you prefer lush red wine... and Weissenberg comes up with a super-dry, crisp white. Not to your taste at that time. However in the longer term (eg a decade or so between hearings) you realise you like a brilliantly realised dry white just as much as a gorgeously, impressively realised red.
Not bad....! True, taste in music, as in wine, evolve over time...
He bangs though
wow, now I really want to watch the Ake Falck film. Where is it?

It's not true what he said! I learned "Petrushka" when I turned 56 and the same year I learned Rach 3. So I'm making my money by being a surgeon and maybe I can learn things quick because I reset my mind after music conservatory at Medical School and than I didn't rehearse for more than 10 years., Now I rather do not have that much time to prove and to rehearse. Time is running out but at least enough time to learn even this beautiful piece, because I always loved it and when I was young, I felt too much shy and devote ("Oh , only great pianists know how to play I'm not good enough")-...Bullcrap. Just play what you love. Whatever it may be! Music is a language!
