Biography
Harvey Lavan "Van" Cliburn, Jr., (July 12, 1934 -- February 27, 2013) has been called an American hero, hailed as one of the most persuasive ambassadors of American culture as well as one of the greatest pianists in the history of music. With his historic 1958 victory in the first Tchaikovsky International Piano Competition in Moscow at the height of the Cold War, Van Cliburn tore down cultural barriers years ahead of glasnost and perestroika, reaching out across political frontiers with a universal message all could greet with joy: the message of beautiful music.
Cliburn was the first musician ever honored with a ticker-tape parade in New York City, a true hero's welcome and a show of gratitude for an American victory on the heels of the Soviet Union's launching of Sputnik. Again reaching across cultural borders, Cliburn invited the Russian conductor Kirill Kondrashin to come to New York and reprise the performances that had earned the young American the gold medal in Moscow. Cliburn's recording of the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 with Kondrashin became the first classical album to reach platinum status and has gone on to sell more than three million copies
The legendary Emil Gilels, one of the judges who awarded Cliburn the top prize in Moscow in 1958, said at the time "his inborn artistry and subtle musicianship ennoble all that he plays. His victory at such a difficult contest may be truly termed brilliant.'' A few years later, in his classic study of the world's great pianists, Harold C. Schoenberg noted that "of all the Americans of his generation, Cliburn was able to produce the most sensuous of sounds ... rich, never percussive, a real piano sound that reminded old-timers of the great romantic pianists of the past.''
Van Cliburn was born in Louisiana on July 12, 1934, the son of Harvey Lavan Cliburn and Rildia Bee O'Bryan Cliburn. The family moved to Texas when the boy was only six, and by 12 the prodigy had won every major local piano competition. His Carnegie Hall debut in 1954, playing the Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 1 under Dmitri Mitropolous' baton, offered the music world a preview of what would become his signature piece and the occasion of his Moscow victory four years later.
Cliburn's ties to the grand romantic school of piano were close from the start of his career: His only teacher for the first 17 years of his life was his indomitable mother, herself a pupil of Arthur Friedheim, who was a pupil of Franz Liszt. Later, at the Juilliard School, the young pianist studied at his mother's urging with the acclaimed Russian pedagogue Rosina Lhevinne. "Van was so teachable,'' recalled a proud Mrs. Cliburn in 1958, "and always so respectful and quick to learn.''
He learned fast, and his love and respect for great music only grew. Tours all over the world followed his Tchaikovsky Competition triumph, a growing series of definitive recordings added to his popularity, and even a decade-long sabbatical from public performances only increased the disarming directness of his romantic touch when he returned to the concert circuit in 1987. In honor of Cliburn's return to the concert stage, the eight-disc Van Cliburn Collection was released on the RCA Victor label, containing many of Cliburn's classic concerto recordings: Tchaikovsky Concerto No. 1; Rachmaninoff Concertos Nos. 2 and 3; Prokofiev Concerto No. 3; Brahms' Concerto No. 2; and Rachmaninoff's "Variations on a Theme of Paganini." His current touring schedule includes performances across the country from Tanglewood to Thousand Oaks, California.
Cliburn has performed for royalty, heads of state in Europe, Asia, and South America and for every President of the United States since Harry Truman.
Cliburn's selfless devotion to music has been expressed in other ways as well. At the height of his early career, Cliburn made time to encourage and nourish young talent with the first Van Cliburn International Piano Competition. First held in 1962, this competition is held in Fort Worth every four years. It is an integral part of Cliburn's living legacy, a bright and hopeful signpost for the future of American music.
( from www.kennedy-cen...)
One of the many of his great traits was that he was one with the orchestra... he did not try to dominate. The music, the flow was important. This, conversely, made his greatness show out all the more. He never felt the need to rush, to show off speed in playing over technical flawlessness. So many think that playing music really fast is what makes you sound great; but greatness flows and shows) when the performer is one with the music.
One of those rare, remarkably great pianists who keeps his eyes closed during performance, preferring to “sit back and listen” to the sounds he and the orchestra are producing. Instead of focusing on his own hands. Huge talent; huge knowledge; huge sensibility. Thank you very, very much for this upload. A great privilege seeing and hearing Mr Van Cliburn.
Didn't see that..thanks!!1
Cliburn and Kondrashin embraced this music like an old friend, the Russians embraced Cliburn, the music embraced us all. Thank you for posting.
Van Klibun. La excelencia del mundo ,no ha habido otro mejor a través. de los años. México. 🇲🇽. 🫶🥇🫶. 🎶🎶🎶🎶
Es un crimen que le metan anuncios ,yo lo puse SIN. Anuncios 😮
Es Holandes. Van solo los. Holandeses. lo usan. ❤.
Quando i capi di stato assistevano ai concorsi musicali e di teatro.
Amazing footage of Khrushchev giving applause to a true hero that tore down the cold war barriers. For all we know, Cliburn's effect on the premier could very well have been the straw that softened his heart just enough to enable him to back down during the Cuban missile crisis. He might have said, "No..... If America is where Van Cliburn is from, then I love America... Turn those missiles around!"
Way to go Van!! (I'm joking, of course. It was the secret deal to remove missiles in Turkey that closed the deal.)
Van Cliburn's interpretation, technique, and musicianship can be described in one word: flawless.
Absolutly!
And only Van Cliburn gave this piece an imperial, heroic tone. Sorry, Arthur, Alfred and Claudio!
Exactly. His hands were huge. His body designed to give momentum and propulsion at the keyboard. Born for this very artistic gift. We have witnessed a true artistic giant come and go. How fortunate we were! Thank you, Lord God, for this blessing of music!
Agree. He's the best among the greats. Passes the test of time with flying colors!
I Totally agree... How I LOVE him... and how I miss him!
As he pulls this off there's never a sense he's on a high wire. Then he walks off with it. The greatest performance of the Fifth then till now. Period.
This is probably my final you tube comment but I would just like to thank all people
who uploaded videos of Van Cliburn, whose greatness I would otherwise have
missed. He has got me through the pandemic and he has been inspirational.
Rachmaninov 3 and Beethoven 5 sublime amongst others. I wish everyone
good health and many blessings. I am English.

Youri Egorov?
I have just noticed by chance your comment and it’s misinterpretation is why
I no longer comment on these sites.
My comment refers to Mr RH. I am not commenting again.
@@tiggywinkle20 I totally agree with you. It’s sad to see someone who seems to enjoy putting down other’s opinions. The entire world would have been better off without reading RH’s comment. He could have said it as his opinion which it is but he seem to feel the need to make others think that his opinion was the absolutely correct one and no other opinion mattered. Maybe he will one day learn how to be kind and then his opinion might be of some value.
Van Cliburn is still the greatest of all time. I can’t really listen to any other interpretations of the great concertos. Immaculate perfection.
Not true! You Are telling lies! The Best pianists of All Time Are really Artur Rubinstein ( thr God) Grigory Sokolov ( The Titan) Emil Gilels ( The King) Wilhelm Kempff ( The most beautiful piano sound Ever) Radu Lupu ( The most colorful sound Ever) Mikhail Pletnev ( The most Powerful Ever) Sviatoslav Richter!!
@@RaineriHakkarainen You have your own opinions and that's fine, but allow the same courtesy of others! Van Cliburn is truly one of the masters and that is indisputable, whether you like his interpretations and style is your own opinion.
All opinions are valid; I prefer others : Glenn Gould; Lang Lang ; Horowitz ; Richter ; Rubinstein.... Yuja Wang ,
@@federicocastillo8948 agree, except Yuja Wang. LoL. She doesn't belong in the same sentence as as those real artists you just listed.
@@RaineriHakkarainenThe best: Claudio Arrau
I grew up with this rendition. Whenever my father put on this vinyl album, the house went hush, so there would be peace and quiet as well as the extraordinary sounds eminating from this piano, exhorting me to rise above my misery, beyond anything I could have imagined and goodness knows I invented things to escape my childhood reality. Yet every time my father put this recording on, usually on a Sunday morning, I knew that everything was alright. The world had become a sane place again.
Cliburn must have spoiled all other recordings of this concerto then, hehe. He sure did spoil Tchaikovsky's No.1 for me. Growing up, that was the only recording we had....and now in the golden age of YT and access to pretty much every recording out there, nothing comes close to Van's performance of T's No.1 with Kondrashin.
@@TSK24692 His rendition/interpretation of Tchaikovsky No.1 is absolutely breathtaking and none other touches it by far, in my opinion.
I was fortunate to see him four times in person during his career, and he was flawless every time I heard him play. I have all of his recordings and know them by heart.
I heard him play this concerto at Tanglewood in 1965: the audience was so ecstatic that he returned to play the 3rd movement again as an encore. His Emperor is still the greatest of them all.
I'm so jealous!
@@FahimibnDawud me too
Also Kruscev and Gromyko were there...wonderful...
Not True! The Best Beethoven piano concerto no 5 players are Really=1:Wilhelm Kempff the most beautiful piano Sound ever! 2:Vladimir Ashkenazy the most volcano colorful piano sound ever for Beethoven no 5! 3:Solomon Cutner the Best structure for music! 4:Grigory Sokolov his rhythmic vitalness is unbeatable! 5:Maurizio Pollini the big Genius! 6:Emil Gilels Golden tone! Gilels the King Pianist! 7:Mikhail Pletnev crystal sharp the most powerful!!
You had to have been there--live! Ne plus ultra.
Thank God I was able to see him play in person once in FlagstaffAZ. I’ll love him forever.
It is such a thrilling piece of music. Beethoven must be in musical heavenly bliss when he hears it played so magically by van Cliburn. Bravo, Thank you. And the conductor had IT.
Ahh, Natalie. Would you comment on whether this Beethoven has a piano to use. If so, who would tune and maintain it? Are any recordings available that we poor living things on crappy earth might hear. Some form of celestial music, perhaps. Do you suppose Mr. B and Tchaikovsky are getting along and perhaps collaborating to find the Lost Chord?? Just curious.
Háy traductor ,pero no funciona. 😮.
Музыкант на века. Браво Ван!!!
the commercial interruptions destroy this magnificent performance which will outlive all the advertisers.
For some reason, Van Cliburn's interpretations and renditions of these concerti are so moving to me!
Благодарю Бога, Бетховена. Вана Клиберна. Кирилла Кондрашина. Оркестр,
Ютуб, Блогера за то. что я могу слышать и видеть это счастье!!! Пусть радость и счастье вернётся у вам в 100 раз больше!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm a nobody when it comes to classical music....but I know what I like and what moves my soul....this artist expresses in me feelings I thought were long dead....I love you Mr. Cliburn and wish you were not deceased so I could had told you this in person.
So thankful for these videos on you tube. It beats t.v. and I can pretend I’m actually at a concert or ballet. Cliburn/Kondrashian. Perfection.
You have done the world a great service in presenting this.
I love that he does not push this piece at all. Very elegantly and beautifully played.
and ALL the BIG singing movements in the orchestra are SOOO poetic .... especially the last movement! JUST like they should be...!
FLAWLESS IN EVERY ASPECT. I AM SO GLAD TO HAVE LISTENED AND VIEWED THIS PERFORMANCE, HISTRIONIC.
The EMPEROR of pianists- Simply MAGNIFICENT!!!!!! OMG REGAL, ROYAL and ELEGANT
And an imperial interpretation.
Not true! Van Cliburn not The greatest! The greatest pianists of All Time Are really Artur Rubinstein ( The God) Grigory Sokolov ( The Titan The Giant of The piano) Emil Gilels ( The King) Wilhelm Kempff ( The most beautiful piano sound Ever) Radu Lupu ( The most colorful sound Ever) Mikhail Pletnev ( The most Powerful Ever) Sviatoslav Richter!!!
@@RaineriHakkarainen Stop you troll! No one stated that greats like Richter and Sokolov are any less than they are.. people are allowed opinions, and your own is of no greater significance than any other.
Великолепное , царственное арпеджио, хрустальное piano в вернем регистре... Достойное обрамление бриллианта Клиберна оркестром под управлением гениального Кирилла Кондрашина.
I have watched this again. Pure poetry throughout. Do I really see 12 dislikes ?
To each his own, but I have stated twice what I think. Superb!
Kondrachin in his glee/smile at the entrance shows the world what is about to take place. The greatest performance of the great B 5th.
Marvellous conductor, orchestra and pianist play Beethoven's wonderful concerto.
Wonderful performance and those singing notes in the slow movement. Van had
magnificent stage presence as well as musicianship. I would describe him and
this work as noble! It made my afternoon! Thank you.
OMG BEETHOVEN EMEPEROR CONCERTO. MY FAVORITE COMPOSER, and VAN CLIBURN you can't beat that WOW!!!.
Особенно вторая часть.
Such a great talent and ambassador for the US. Can we ever get back to this graciousness again?
Spend just a little time in comparing Van with any to take his place in coming years. The test is to find any pianist who will come close. You hear here a performance not to be matched before or since. There is perfection touched by genius blessed by the composer. Then there is an orchestra and conductor that brought an intimacy rare.
Thank you so much for putting this up. I have not heard his recording of this for almost 30 years and I am literally laughing and tearing up. It is the best. The best.
It doesn't get any better...my favorite composer so brilliantly interpreted!!!
Third movement is one of the most stirring pieces of music ever written and here played at the highest level of all interpretation and excellence.
Прекрасный концерт.Все так празднично,красиво.Дирижер как король, жесты выразительны и величественны.Пианист завораживает,звук изумительный,льющийся.Оркестр -гении.Бетховен был бы доволен.Спасибо.
My goodness, this is profoundly exquisite
An absolutely enthralling, intense and at times almost unbearably moving performance of Beethoven's Masterpiece played by Van Cliburn.
Many thanks fairlytaleofnewyork for this truly memorable upload.
What an orchestra heaven must have.!!!!!
Can you tell us where they are all seated, how about the instruments. Where do they keep them when not performing?
Tell us, are you really that gullible or just stupid.?
Damned!! I love watching these old Van Cliburn videos!
Astonishing virtuosity he had. He is as entranced by the music as the audience. The joy of playing it was in his soul. Bravo!
Bravo indeed.
Bravo, bravo. Beautifully played by Van Cliburn. Beethoven must've been smiling.
His Rach 3 in Moscow is sublime!!!!!!
2020: Beethoven's had an IQ over "200".
[ IQ< 200]... !!!
@@ruexcited2WholeHearted Rach 2 as well 😉
Magnificent. The shots of his hands as he plays are amazing
King Cliburn- what elegance, he looks so majestic, extraordinary musicality
Thanks a million for posting this magnificent performance!
A real treat to see Van Cliburn when he was so young and had just taken the international scene by storm. He was a true phenomenon! (I knew he was quite tall, but WOW, he was so tall and lanky he could hardly get his knees under the keyboard!)
He was tall, 6'4", but looked even taller as he lost a lot of weight in Moscow due to chronic colitis (brought on by nerves, 11-15 hrs a day practice and not eating regular meals). Colitis plagued him most of his life. You can imagine the extreme pressure placed on this 23 yr old at that time - most of which he placed on himself! He said he wanted to be "more than perfect!" He WAS. I cry every time I listen to the adagio at 22:58.
Thank you for these videos of the magnificent Van Cliburn,such genius
I love listening to this when I am not performing various tasks and duties.
Ahhh. Back again. Loved this man. It makes me cry because it's so beautiful. I know for certain that Herr Beethoven was with him.
It made me cry too.
2020: As a pianist it is such a pleasure to hear Beethoven's music away from the piano, BUT in-your-Head and HEART; hard to clear with an Oscilloscope too!!
An very Outstanding performance by Cliburn!
Thank you CZcams!!
Could you point Beethoven out for the rest we who are to myopic to see this wonderful individual? It is amazing that Beethoven was not mobbed by groupies.
Thank you so very much for sharing this wonderful recording with us. Van Cliburn was truly Brilliant and gifted. Thank you again for this wonderful music.
So GOOD! Brilliantly GOOD! Over and Over Again Good.
BRAVO! Thanks for correct tempo-- rhithm & the sound of this Music!
A MOMENT! THANKS VAN
Mil gracias por este y otros videos de Kondrashin - Van Cliburn .
The piano keyboard seems too small and does not have enough keys for his hands. What a sensation! Amazing.
I think so too
How these geniuses can play something that long and complicated without sheet music is beyond comprehension
私も本当にそう思います。
不思議ですね。
Formidable! Quelle joie ecouter ce pianiste. Merci, merci, mille fois merci pour ce grand plaisir!
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful video.
Amazing !!!
Friendship among nations under the guidance of our great Master Ludwig van Beethoven
I have such regret that I never heard him play live.
S chopin
Heard him play in Atlanta. It was an unforgettable experience!
Never, ever thought I would get the chance, then ended up seeing him twice.: first in '99, then again seven years later on his last major tour. I never thought I would, but the stars aligned. In 99 some family friends had dress circle seats and couldn't attend (I know, right? Unless someone is being born or dying that's something you make the time to attend). Anyway, the whole experience spoiled me rotten, and seven years later I tipped the wait list and got season tickets in dress circle, including his Tchaikovsky #1 performance. Since then I've seen many, performers on the ivories, and only Andre Watts comes close (and there is still a significant gap). IMHO he's simply the best there ever was. Just a gem of a man as well.
@@brucesavell8843 I was there. 🤗 I traveled all over the United States to hear Van play but never heard him play the Emperor in live concert. The adagio is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written and no one played it as exquisitely, as ethereally as Van. He was a beautiful pianist and a beautiful person. I once told him that I could hear other concert pianists play a piece and their playing would not move me emotionally, but when I heard him play it, I was transported. That brought tears to his eyes. He described when he closed his eyes and looked upward while playing as his "going into the ether." His angelic playing brought tears to my eyes. It was like he could look into your soul and play what was there. I had several conversations with him over the years and he was the most humble, infinitely kind artist. To know Van was to love him.
@@Craig-ib7gk I heard him play the MacDowell for the second time in Huntsville Alabama on 5/25/99. At the reception later, at the Von Braun Center, Van wrote a beautiful note on my program. I had it specially framed to preserve it forever. It looks just the same today as it did 20 years ago. At the reception, Van greeted me with a warm hug and kiss and admired my black and white gown. The skirt of my gown had broad black and white vertical stripes that resembled piano keys. I had been attending Van's concerts for 40+ years. I was a ballerina for 20 years, studying with the Royal and also private instruction with a fantastic Russian ballerina, who was actually a blue blood related to the Tsar. Her mother had been a prima and danced with Nijinsky. Her parents were close friends of the Rachmaninoffs. Van and I were both Russophiles sharing a deep love for Russian Romanticism. We had several lovely conversations over the years. I remember every word as if it were yesterday. Van made you feel like you were the only one in the room and he always greeted me with a big bear hug and kiss. He loved people! I would throw roses on stage from front row (as they did in Moscow) and he was very touched by that gesture. He was the consummate gentleman, very old world elegant. At the reception in Huntsville, Van placed his right hand very gently on my waist and led me over to a wall displaying several large black and white photos (circa '60's & '70's) of him and the Huntsville conductor, Taavo Virkhaus. They were the same age, 65 and both so tall and elegant in their tux. Van was in great spirits and said, "Denise, look at Taavo and me when we were YOUNG and carefree!" He then called Taavo over so my friend could take photos of us. As I stood between Van and Taavo, I joked "I feel like the middle of a Maestro sandwich - and I NEVER want this moment to end!" Van had an incredible sense of humor, very playful, and he roared with laughter when I said that. He was still devastatingly handsome and oh, so ELEGANT. he always said that he "belonged to the 19th century!" His dashing looks, the refined Irish bone structure, his 6' 4" height, his eloquence and charisma took your breath away! He was very spiritual and I told him that whenever I met him, there was a golden aura about him, an energy that was palpable. I told him it was "the aura of Genius!" He would blush, wave his fingers like "Oh NO!", but he understood what I meant. He was VERY much into the metaphysical. He shared with me in Nashville in '97 that he felt his mother's spirit "all over" his home in Fort Worth. "She's there! She's there!" he told me. He was a gem of a man, incredibly sensitive, thoughtful and kind - and he was very funny. When he spotted me standing at the foot of the stage at Tanglewood in 2001 peerinf at him over a huge bouquet of his favorite red roses (I had Irish Bells added in memory of his mother), after he had just played the Grieg with Andre Previn conducting, his eyes widened and lit up...and he started waggling those incredibly long fingers "Hello!" at me from the middle of the stage! I mouthed "Howdy, Tex!", gave him a wink...and waved right back at him. It was a bit cheeky but I knew he'd LOVE it! Van gave me this playful look like "Oh...YOU!!" , but the look on Andre Previn's face was priceless because he didn't know who the hell I was! Van had just dropped his hand from Andre's and rushed to the foot of the stage to plant several sloppy kisses all over my face, and a big one on my lips with a "MYUAH!" (He got me!) He then said, "You SURPRISED me!!" I said, "Well, I just HAD to hear you play hear the Grieg again! I LOVE you!" I had flown from Atlanta to Albany, NY, rented a car and drove to the Berkshires to hear Van play one of my favorites, the Greg. (The Grieg was his mother's favorite concerto.) Later, Tommy Smith, his partner waved me over to the stage door and let me in. Sidenote: Van always remembered how much I loved "Widmung" and would play it as his last encore whenever he spotted me front row. In Nashville in '97 after he played it, he stood in front of me on stage, raised his hand towards me and said "For you..." He actually apologized to me backstage at Tanglewood and said, "I'm so sorry I couldn't play "Widmung" for you. They wouldn't allow me to play ANY encores tonight!" Tommy said it had something to do with regulations regarding the amount of time the orchestra was on stage, something like that. It just shows you what an incredibly thoughtful pianist Van was! I'm just a fan, I'm not a celebrity, I'm not a concert pianist, but Van wanted so much to please his audiences and play the pieces that were meaningful to them. I will never, ever forget him. I'll say it again, to know Van was to LOVE him.
Such a profound piece
Pure greatness!
Завидую тем, кто был в это время в зрительном зале!!! Две легенды : Клиберн и Кондрашин!!!
Gracias, Mamá y Papá, porque cuando yo tenía siete años Uds escuchaban a "Vania" Cliburn tocando el Concierto N°1... Admirados de que este jovencito "yanki" hubiera conquistado a los rusos. Maravilla de maravillas!! La Orquesta y el pianista parece que hubieran tocado juntos toda la vida!! Qué emoción recordar esta belleza desde mi infancia... desde este Concierto aprender a amar a Tchaikovsky ... para siempre! ♡♡
U N B E L I E V A B L E................... respect from Macedonia
I've heard about him for a long time. Finally, I saw Kiril Kondrashin in the film.
Simply outstanding. ¡¡¡WOW!!!
A great combination of Of the greatest musical genius of all time, Beethoven plus the incredible talent of Van Cliburn, along with the Moscow Philharmonic made for a memorable listening experience! Have loved Beethoven since a young boy and fell in love Van Cliburn from the first time I heard his music. Saw Van live in Atlanta and was mesmerized by his musical ability on the piano! Thanks for sharing this.
Did you see him at the Fox in '78 or '79? He played Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto #1
Beethoven would have been so proud
Se me habia perdido. ,hace años. Gracias. 🎼🎶🎶🎶🎶😂
The passage starting at 20:48 is truly magical...
Wonderful to this this great performance! Thank You!
His entrance was America walking into the room; along with the Hope of Humanity; something that once meant everything to this world.
interesting glimpse into history to see Khrushchev applauding at the end.
Maravillosa interpretación 👏👏👏👏
While I believe Van loved this piece, he probably felt it too easy technically. Even so, the musicianship here is absolutely superb. Also, the cut away to Krushchev makes me believe this is from 1958, as the neighbor is the same person as seen in other 1958 recordings. When I met Van, he told me the Rach third was his favorite piece.
I find it hard to believe Rach 3 is his favorite piece. Why would he even have one favorite? Did he mean concerto?
Again I thank you for this . It's my favorite. Thanks to the genius of Beethoven, and van cliburn and the fabulous Russian symphony orchestra.

Bravo bravo bravo
This is not my final word, but I am hearing Stephen Hough on radio right now
playing this at a much faster tempo to my ears. I find he does that a
lot. Am not a pianist, and am not criticising Hough as one, but so used to
Van Cliburn playing this at his tempo so beautifully, find others difficult!
Got criticised on another website re Hough, which was not personal,
but just keep coming back to Cliburn. Yes, I do like other pianists and
keep an open mind, I hope!
Tuve estos conciertos ,durante la la ultima competicion ❤
The very best of the best. He brought Russia and the U.S. together just proves that music is the universal language and love is the key. Of course , Beethoven played a large part. God rest them both. I like to think they are playing in heaven.
It must have been interesting for Steinway to get a piano to heaven. Did American Moving Vans deliver it?
@@organbuilder272 😂👍
Вана Клиберна любят не только за талант пианиста, но и за внешнее обаяние!
Я давно искала эту запись,Ино не знала кто ее исполнял. Теперь понятно. Самая лучшая интерпретация этого концерта у Клиберна.
Grandioso!
How does this only have 12k views in over five years?
It's lost in history but never surpassed.
One reason - No longer having classes in music appreciation in schools. Lack of support for school orchestras, instruction for gifted students, potential students who can not afford instruments, even in the cheapest plastic versions. Such a shame that gaming, bullying, and the negative reactions to music students by their peers prevent more kids form entering into music.
Ah Van the world lost a jewel when we lost Vàñ Cliburn, we are the age, I am 90, I have followed you
Even though I wasn't there I still feel honored.
Гордиться надо тем, что он оказался намного порядочнее чем вы.
These recordings are just wonderful and I thoroughly enjoy watching them. One thing....I always thought that Emeperor was spelled Emperor? No big deal, but twice?
délicat sans fanfare, c'est l'essence de Beethovan. Merci pour le vidéo
Emperor !!
Wonderful playing. The ads are unbearable. I have made it a rule to remember the product and vow never to buy it.
blame youtube, the demonitizing and censoring monster. but it was predictable. no?
Put adblock plus on your computer and never get another ad when watching something.
Wonderful

Thanks so much for this upload. I think this was filmed in 1962, as all his performances from 1958 (around the time of the Tchaikovsky Competition) have the Steinway name on the side of the piano whereas later films don't.
Dear sir, this was filmed on Moscow when van cliburn won the Russian competition, kruschev was delighted,.
Pure genius.
It was the competition from Russia, he won the hearts of the Russians as well as the coveted award that he so deserved. He was like a US ambassador. I come back to this a lot because it's breathtakingly beautiful. Only Beethoven and only van cliburn could have performed this miracle. Look at those incredible fingers.
@@anitahuie1145 Did you read Oliver Nunn's thoughts about when this was filmed?
For sure not, so three answers of you too much.
We all know what you have wrote.
Theres no one who plays like Van Cliburn.
Not True! More colorful beautiful piano sound than Cliburn=Wilhelm Kempff Emil Gilels Radu Lupu Artur Rubinstein Vladimir Ashkenazy Grigory Sokolov! More genius than Cliburn=Sviatoslav Richter Solomon Cutner Grigory Sokolov Maurizio Pollini Stanislav Bunin Maria Grinberg! More powerful louder than Cliburn=Mikhail Pletnev(Prokofiev piano concerto no 1 by Pletnev!) The Second Loudest ever was Lazar Berman! The 3rd Loudest was Erwin Nyiregyhazi! Horowitz his technique better than Cliburn's technique!!
