I feel the older we get the more this music touches us. The bitter sweet of life, things that could had been, things that should not had been, things that possibly had been. Those joy, grief, blood, sweat, tears.
Absolutely!
I feel the calmness of the music touches us, we become more composed, appreciate a slow, steady pace instead of the frenzy.
Not the music but the memories that live in music.
I am barely 17 years old, but my eyes get sore from crying when I hear a great performance of Bach, Chopin, Schubert, etc.
As a kid we were brought to the symphony twice a year. It was magical to me, I know how lucky I was to attend. All kids should be introduced to the classics early in life. It has always stayed with me, I have loved it since then.
Mr Horowitz sits at the piano so casually, as if engrossed in something utterly mundane. No theatrics, no extraneous movements. Nothing stands between him and the music. He is the music.
Not Horowitz
@@maridaude2045 It's Horowitz
The greatest.
@@maridaude2045 2nd pianist is Horowitz, first is Pressler... he is right
🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊😊
Love the shots of the audience lost in a dream
Great music elevates one's soul
About two years ago, I walked into a church. My town has four churches, some large, some small. This was the smallest one I hadn't been to yet, and for once it was open outside of mass hours. Inside, a man sat at the piano playing Chopin's nocturne. The reverberation through the empty hall echoed so beautifully and made my eyes swim the moment I heard it.
You have painted a beautiful emotive picture.
same with Jesus,your Eyes will swim when you see Him🌐
As the Metropolitan in Moscow said to the Holy Metropolitan in Kviv...I send you THIS with the love of the Saviour.

sounds like the start to a book 👍
When Menahem Pressler played this Nocturne from Chopin live in Berlin, he was aged 91. You will never find a better interpretation of this emotional piece from Chopin. Menahem Pressler was a real, but silent, World Class Artist. Menahem Pressler, rest in peace.
please, listen this nokturn performed by Władysław Szpilman
Wladyslaw Szpilman performance is unsurpassed
With all due respect, WLADYSLAW SZPILMAN PERFORMANCE IS UNSURPASSED!!!!
Superb
91? Now I understand why he needs the score.
I had a piano instructor back in the 90s who was from Kiev and Horowitz went to the same Kiev Conservatory she went to, she told me how senior recitals are a big deal and they're done in front of a panel of professors who do not show any emotion after your performance. Zero. no clapping, no nodding, nothing.
Horowitz finished, they jumped to their feet and applauded for a minute straight. He was that much of a force.
What does she think of the fact Kyiv is supporting the same ppl it was then?
Go somewhere else with your preaching. This is not the place.@@discepolidiYeshua93
In 1947-48 I had piano lessons at a pre prep in Brighton England by a Mr Horowitz...surely not ?
@@emilioporro you have to google some old pictures and see for yourself.
@discepolidiYeshua93 the rambling of a poor disturbed soul...really sad !
The closer we get to that last day on earth, on this magical place that consists of bittersweet experiences, the closer we move towards the basics, poetry, philosophical thinking, music. It is a full circle someone might say, we go back to where our soul was guiding us all those years, but career, friends, family, that night out that we had to go out because everyone would attend kept us apart from our nature. And we lived in distance from our own soul for ages.
Wow! That's pretty deep. I'm going to have to contemplate that for a while. In this day and age when everybody is talking but nobody is really saying anything, this actually speaks to me.
@@patrickfreeman8257 people need to hear the sound of silence.
Well said.
Beautifuly said.I maight just add that it is just the flow of presense we only have.
How very very true!!
The blind japanese pianist playing his own composition is a true joy for the ears and the soul
At 6:10 ..the old Russian man with tears in his eyes.......How well I remember this moment as I saw this Horowitz broadcast LIVE some decades ago.
This moment made me cry… Probably this man went through something in his life…
@@user-dc1oq6hz8u Many of us had exactly the same thoughts. I sure did. One of the most unforgettable things i've ever seen.

i know what you mean, i love how simple and effortless it seems, the delicate cascading of notes from something to nothing. the sound is in the silence. magical.@@cd-zw2tt
@@kennethtalbott2233 "..simple and effortless..' - yes and the paradox is that it's from rigorous practising many hours each day for many days and weeks and years. A true dedication 😊
2:58 I love how softly he went up to that higher octave. Made the descent feel ethereal and lofty. What a great interpretation of this piece.
I see, nice
Finally - No fake face gestures from the piano player to make it look like "passion" or "emotion"
So the performer is not allowed to show his/her emotions if he wants?
@@moomin_2000 Been a piano player for 20+ years and sometimes I let my self go so I know what I'm talking about. I get that some piano players like Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder shake their heads because they felt the music inside them. But I've seen so many great artists perform without the need to fake emotions that frankly takes away from the performance itself. Fake tears, Fake Head movements, Fake Facial expressions (as if it were the hardest thing) even their their wardrobe all point out to draw attention towards them and not the music piece itself.

Wonderful to see children, young people in audience listening raptly, respectfully. Gee, no iPhones or texting - what a pleasure to see and to hear this simply beautiful music.
You can add to that, no coughing, blowing your nose, rifling through your pockets only to drop a number of coins that go rolling down the aisle.
上世紀80年代的表演，當時未有📱 iPhone！😅
Yes, for once no one standing up with their back to the performance taking a selfie to show how cultured they aren’t….
It's because this is Germany
People are altogether more respectful and thoughtful
@@johncater7861 wtf are you saying "number of coins that go rolling down the aisle" are you a droid
Pressler played the cycle of life. For everybody to feel.
Lately I see lots of comments on social media about how amazing the latest pop star strumpet who is cavorting about on stage in a sparkly leotard is. About what an amazingly talented song writer she is. And I think to myself, the people making these comments must never have had their lives touched by genuinely beautiful music such as this. It makes me laugh, but it also makes me sad and a little bit upset. Thank God for Beethoven, Chopin and the talented musicians who keep their music alive.
you can enjoy this music without shitting over other people's music, everyone is touched in a different way by different sounds and words. i hope you aren't this ego centric in real life. i love classical, some of my friends love swift. it's going to be ok.
@@user-jr2ul6vi3j Yeah, but there's certain music that is objectively shit. Of course, people can like it and it can make them 'feel' a certain way, but doesn't justify calling this person 'ego centric'.
Spot on. The pop culture today including it's music is truly void of esoteric beauty. Can you imagine a world where classical music was the most popular music for all ages? Make Classical Music Great Again!
@@vividly94 He is though
@@vividly94 wrong
The old greats...Horowitz, Pressler, Arturo Rubinstein, even Rachmaninoff, when they played...they became the music... they didn't emote and gesticulate to detract from it...the music was the master, and they served it. A pleasure to watch, and a blessing to hear, a sublime pleasure.
Well penned..."they served music"👍👌
Don't forget Claudio Arrau
Nor the wonderfull Oscar Peterson
@@patalvarez4432 Yes, Cliburn/Barenboim/Ashkenazy also
My Son played it in the memory of my Father, after my Father passed away.😢❤️🌹Mr Horowitz touches my heart.🌹

@@williamtaittinger4529 truly
sorry for your loss
My condolences.
In music there is sadness, joy, and many other emotions. Experiencing the death of somebody close, one's perception of music changes. I have experienced how playing the one and same melody before gave different meanings to me.
All the best to you.
My condolences
I can't imagine how Choopin must have felt, what did he experience?, to compose pieces that evoke such deep feelings that one would think one would have after living for a long time to understand them.
0:37 0:41 0:43 beautiful and beyond...I saw the Pianist movie .and it brings me to tears..this is awesome.being a pianist myself..this is every bit.... perfection
This beauty envelopes me. I can't control my emotions. Glorious. Thank G-d for these moments of heaven on earth.
Beautiful music, paintings, sculptures, even beautiful buildings bring tears to our eyes. I think it’s because we feel we are in the presence of something/someone that gives the gift of creating beauty, which also encompasses love, to the performer, composer, etc.
I wish shopping malls would play this music and also some of the beautiful arias. I think/hope it would replace some of the hatred and cruelty that seems to be infecting some people today.
There is more than enough beauty available to convince people that we are capable of achieving greatness. Even if I cannot produce a masterpiece I am able to appreciate that some people can and we should follow them and not those who produce vulgar, sloppy drivel.
If that makes sense.
Horowitz is my favourite pianist of all time, such a gem!
Sir Pressler has what it takes to play this music and, I am sure, A lot of other standards. Sir - You are a precious gem.
Oh my goodness. Being part of the Beax Arts Trio means he can play anything. Much respect to him.
In all these, it is palpable the silence these performances create... The feeling of silence means you are truly listening. It's so hard to listen when there's so much noise about. I'm honoured and sad to be born in 1984 - that means I'm not old but just old enough I remember when we had silence and could make space and time to listen to things.
This video reminded me of that. Cheers.
I've never heard someone playing a slow piece as good as Pressler. Unbelievable
No one could channel Chopin like Rubenstein. His recording of the Chopin 1st concerto, 2nd movement, is beyond extraordinary.
He’s playing Schumann
@@mlbhdk06 Irrelevant. I was complimenting the man on his unassailable interpretation of Chopin's 1st. You must be American, ryt?
@@James-ll3jb Well, you could've at least prefaced your original comment then with "I know Horowitz is playing Schumann here, but..."
There's no need to insult somebody on the basis of which country they were born and raised in, of which they have no control.
everything's ok? @@James-ll3jb
@@JohnSmith-cg3cv Why should I if I am talking about Horowitz and Chopin? Lol!
1:27 what a great break into a slightly happier mood until it falls back down, excellent writing by chopin
Horowitz.....pretty much on everybody's top 5 list for greatest pianist of the 20th century. The audience is spellbound. Wish I couldve heard him live. He was alive until I was 23. I missed out.
Pressler is amazing, too.
@@psforrest1 He taught at Indiana University for many years. I've often thought I studied Music at the wrong school.
As an music teacher for 20 years...I get the bumps...of what you say goose + bumps. Love this.
It's difficult to remain Agnostic when listening to music like this. God bless those woe bring beauty into this world.
Right. One becomes a complete atheist.
@@ahboaz 😅
Amén
THIS is what music is about! Not half-naked bodies or flashy outfits to draw certain audiences to the concert - hall. Unfortunately, this is what the classical music industry is promoting for quite some time now...
Exactly, like Y.Wang e.g. showing off, technically astounding, but lacking in musicality.
@@bob7023You don’t need to say that. I’m Chinese and I’m not bothered by mariapap8962’s comment at all. I just smile and respect him. No need to overact and take it too seriously.
@@tzenkadianova2892Mariapap is not being racist or misogynistic. He gave his opinion on an artist, and you immediately and smugly decided it was because of race and gender. No one is free from criticism. So please stop fighting this imaginary villain that you created just to appear socially superior, it doesn't help anyone.
Yes, the playing is lovely, but his phrasing is noticeably laboured due to the advanced age. If you can't hear this, you are in denial or lack the musical experience. Pollini was once criticised for being too aggressive and lacking in the musical department, same of Horowitz and many others. Listen with your ears, not your eyes. Yuja's phrasing is far more interesting than this master-class in rheumatism.
@nikb6176 You can wait to make this comment when Yuja Wang is 70/80 years old and having rheumatism (and hopefully not half-naked on stage any more). Ridiculous comparison.
Of the three Noboyuki Tsujii was the only one that wrote his own music so yes I bow my head to him
Chopin will tear your heart to pieces then gently place the broken pieces back together.
In these dark days with wars and fierce fighting music is like Shakespeare said "if music was the food of life play on"
Good for the soul Gods gift to us let's enjoy every second of it. Thanks for this upload I feel good🎉
The piano in its classical sense is the entrance to a new world when played with the passion of these amazing pianists. Chopin is my favourite.
So beautiful !! Chopin the Monet of music.
A great description.
Although it is much harder to be so emotionally shaken by a Monet painting.
A well educated on music audience. They felt every stroke to the core!
I wept alone in my living, the children and my wife are asleep
Solely because of the music?
Or because things are rough?? 😮

Healing of the heart
También lo hago en mi sala cuando estoy solo , las lágrimas por el placer de que estas notas pasen por mis oídos.
Oh honey ❤❤❤
During Horowitz's performance, you can visibly see each and every audience member is in their own imaginary world, quietly listening to the music, letting it flow through their minds and soul. Such is the beauty and power of music when presented by someone as legendary as Horowitz.
I remember traumerei being played in song of love the biopic about schumann. It was played several times during the film but when clara played it at the end after roberts mind had broken down and he died the affect on me was devastating. I write music . I have mental illness. I feel this music very deeply.
I started playing the piano after watching this film
This must be what music is like in heaven and Chopin heard it in his spirit and played it people on earth! The Lord revealed to me some time ago He is sending music from heaven to earth in this timing! It will be wonderful to hear new heavenly music!
Both pianist are full with music and music! No show, simple but most beatuful sound, touch, phraising!! They are a greatest gift for humanity!

Congratulations for writing the cringiest and most obnoxious comment on this video. (There was a lot of competition in this comment section but this is definitely the most nauseating)
A lovely selection of works and artists. I heard Pressler play the Chopin Nocturne on a few occasions in London and Paris. The limpidity of the runs at the end were just so characteristic of his inimitable technique. I miss him.
Un de ces rares moments où l'espèce humaine mérite d'être encore là...
Oh what lovely music. Nobuyuki Tsuji's elegy so wonderful. ❤❤❤❤
How can humans create such beauty and at the same time be so evil to one another.
quite often I ask myself the same question.
The same reason why some are healthy and the others - ill.

THIS MUSIC TAKES US TO A PLACE OF BEAUTY ❤️
Thank you for wonderful video!
This is indeed an awesome emotional experience & speaking about another heartbreaking performance from a pianist there was Dinu Lipatti‘s last recital some 2 months before his death from Leukemia in 1950. This is available on CD & among his selections is perhaps the most moving Schubert G flat major IMPROMPTU that I have ever heard. You Tube has this likely as well. The entire recital is one to cherish even if a repeat section of one of his ChopIn pieces had to be cut due to Lipatti‘s physical condition.
Just beautiful. Thank you.
Great video, Thank you!
Wow , so beautiful! Thank you for the video
Goodness, that third pianist - what a beautiful, simple, spellbinding piece of music. Brought chills ❤
And he's a blind pianist who composed it, go figure.
Thanks for sharing, shared.
Thank you very much for the video. 🙏❤️
These performances makes real the reality that music is an intangible intimacy.
Powerfull yet so soft....
Touches your heart and soul.
Beautiful music !
Priceless 🌟
Absolutely exquisite.

What a special moment in someones life. To witness such great musicians in a lifetime. Really lucky people to have such memories.
Amazing, just amazing!
Absolutely Beautiful!
Perfection! ❤
That Chopin nocturne...my God, so tender and so sublime. Perfect music for the rain that just started outside my window.
I saw this performance of Horowitz live when I was young. I was affected by the shots of the audience back then. Now I understand them better. They had deep life experiences that were tapped into by Horowitz and the piece he played.
This is so touching, heartfelt, and moving. Well done Sir!
Incredble performance 🌹💖👏
😔😔😔😪💞💓💕👏👏👏👏 just outstanding, thank you!
like teardrops, beautiful 🥲
This is just magical.
Agree with everybody about Chopin and Schumann, but also the third piece was really poignant and beautiful....
Wow! These pieces are so achingly beautiful ❤❤❤
on march 11 2011, was working in a data center on a night shift. me and my team knew how to connect ourselves on international networks so we watched mostly in real time the horrific tsunami in Japan.... that pianist is a genius.... thank you.
sound from heart ! Love it!
Communicating to heart through melodious vibes.
Such old hands and so brillant! When look on my own...
music never lies you see... that is what makes it so beautiful.
Loved the 3rd piece. Such emotion in the music. Beautiful performance!
Chopin has always been one of my favorites to play...❤❤❤
Sometimes the rabbit hole youtube sends you down opens your eyes like never before. Thank you for leading me here tonight.
Pure bliss ❤
Timeless beauty.
Beautiful 🎹🎶
True masters at work. It makes me very emotional watching this on a screen. I can’t imagine what it was like to be there in the audience, watching these live
Incredible. All of them. A feast for our fragile minds and souls.
What I can just say is that music is life ❤
It's wonderful how age only manifests how some musicians' insight and depth of musicality reaches immortal beauty!
Are we still the people who could sit and watch the masters like the audience in the video? I am afraid to say no and I feel lonely when I am left teary eyed by ART, that might slowly be lost to this Scroll-World.
Thank you ❤
Touches my soul ❤
Pure. Exquisite. Mesmerizing. This was a spiritual experience!❤
Quelle virtuosité, magnifique, merci
Caress to the soul without show! Thanks!
WOW! The little time pieces he waits till he plays the next note is just what music is all about. We all heard Chopin so many times, but like this … you need to dig deep, very deep. The world would need that kinda music, not boom tshap boom boom tshap
Amen
