Thank you for sharing! Who could play Albéniz better than a talented Spanish pianist?
che meraviglia
The perfection of every aspect of her playing is phenomenal. Nobody, ever, has played it better. This is what Albéniz wanted. And to think he nearly destroyed the score, fearing it was unplayable.
Totally agree. This is playing at the highest level. Her daughter said she practiced incessantly and tons of slow practice.
Could not agree more.
Bravoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo DE LAS MAS GRADE DEL PIANO.
El Puerto made me watch this almost every single day since August 1
La millor intèrpret de música espanyola de tots el temps.
the great pianist Blanche Selva who premiered Iberia initially said to Albeniz that it was "unplayable"...it was for most pianists until De Larrocha 'tore it up'!
Phenomenal playing: effortlessly accurate with no affectation, and as natural as speech.
It seems that her sound got even more marvelous as the years passed, both the singing tone and the amazing clarity of detail of all voices. The pedaling too, which is quite difficult in El Puerto.
Entenc que és un concert del 1984 quan Alicia tenia 61 anys. Quina habilitat, quina energia, quin ritme i quina musicalitat i quin art. Els adjectius se'm queden curts. Meravellosos 100 anys i per l'eternitat.
Impecable. Es la única pianista que me emociona hasta las lágrimas con la interpretación del Albaicín, unas notas llenas de nostalgia que me conmueven.
She is 🇪🇸 music the great pianist and spirit....foever...
Such fidelity to the score. Every accent Albéniz marks, separately left and then right hand, is here to be heard. It’s only about the music and the tradition she was effortlessly heir to, from Pedrell, from Lisztian bravura to the sun-kissed port of Cádiz, the mystery moorish and gitano rhythms of the Albaicín, with the Cante jondo wistful song. Larrocha is on a par with Cervantes, Goya, Velásquez and the beloved composers who could only dream their music could be played like this.
Score fidelity is not that exact, but does this really matter ?
@@MathieuPrevot I suggest you read the score. Every accent and dynamic. And, yes, of course it matters.
@@henrigaziel2002 My comment is indeed based on the score.
@@MathieuPrevot No, it isn’t. You’re saying she’s not faithful to the score. And she plainly is. So you’re talking rubbish, for reasons that escape me.
@@henrigaziel2002 She is not fully faithful; eg., 4:50 etc, it's supposed to be pp, she is already mf, and then she ignores the sf; much later, instead of animato, she slows down (that's a big miss), often the accents are missing or not really here. I won't develop everything, but that's a fact. It's very good interpretation anyway.
She owned this music as much as it is possible for any performer to "own" a piece of music. Still my favorite pianist..
@Music Man yes, she was an accomplished pianist with wide repertory and yes, Spanish music is what's usually considered as her ''ownership.'' According to D. Hurwitz some chauvinists (national and sex) couldn't accept a woman as a definitive performer of ''their'' music. She has performed (and spread) the magnificent Spanish music all across the world, bringing sun and images of her country to the cold and harsh places, geographically and politically. This is a musical healing of the greatest grade. Those who boast of ''owning'' some composer are usually too blind and deaf to understand what is true universal art devoid of political parochialism (English and their ''guarding'' of the image of Ralph Vaughan Williams where they keep silent about his passionate physical nature). She is an absolutely magnificent lady and a magnificent pianist.
@@gorankatic40000bc Chauvinism and sexism are different things, but chauvinism is definitely not a reason of why she wasn't more recognized in Spain. Anyway, the recognition that she had in Spain was very great... ¿maybe it should be greater? Probably, but I would say that for almost every classical musician :D
@@gorankatic40000bc She was not the only one. Before her was Artur Rubinstein, who popularized De Falla, and Jose Iturbi. But in her time, she dominated, through powerful record companies and management, and their tendency to categorize artists and listeners. It was a big deal when she switched over to perform mostly Mozart. It did somewhat prove her ability, but it was disappointing, to say the least. Oddly, she did not venture into French repertoire.
When the music seems to be written to one person in particular.......
Una inolvidable intérprete. Exquisita.
Nous sommes emportés par cette musique sensuelle, puissante, et raffinée, et cette interprétation magistrale, qui nous ouvrent à tous les souffles de l'Espagne
Era y serà siempre la maravilla de la música española!
MBA Josefina Vega Argüelles
She's so cute here ❤ Alicia 🥰
Wow. What confidence and expression! Thank you.
World class
Una maravilla!!! Qué suerte poder disfrutar de estas joyas. Las mejores versiones de Albéniz, sin duda. Y en directo, muy impresionante.
So good and emotional energy
Un dels millors pianistes del S. XX.
Excellence ❤❤❤
Qué maravilla, no tengo palabras.
El discurso musical de un genio interpretativo....
Magnificent on every level! (Aside: I echo all positive and complimentary comments on this stream.)
Miss her in this world; but am grateful for all the phenomenal music she left behind for us to enjoy and learn from... which now is out there STILL & FOREVER in the UNIVERSE and probably beyond.

Love you, Alicia... knowing that I join a host of others who also adore you. [So glad that I met you here on this still magical planet, which is now terribly endangered and in urgent need of our utmost care... so that the planet might keep revolving.]
Your music heals and inspires. Just what we need, everyday... whether we realize it or not.
Grand MERCI, ALICIA❣🌻🌍👏🍷
Siempre me da piel de gallina
¡qué maravilla!
FANTASTICA!
Exquisite, with the tonal colors of a rainbow, and an exceptional sense of melodic line. This is a definite treasure. Thank you for posting!
Love it!
Great
Please, please post the rest of the concert: Granados Escenas Romanticas, Falla Fantasía Bætica, Albéniz’s La Vega, Rondeña and Triana, Mompou’s El secreto and El cant des ocells of Nin-Culmell. Whoever has the video, please, you would be doing the world a great service. To see Madame Larrocha play La Vega. That is the stuff of dreams!
Gracias por compartir!!!
Gracias
Not everybody can play this music this well. I mostly enjoyed El Albacin...
Jose Iturbi, for one.
I beg you to upload Albéniz’s La Vega from this concert, if you have it?
J aime Alicia dans Navara
This is really wonderful!
Claudio Arrau said that she could barely grasp a seventh on the piano!
She could reach a tenth in the 1960s recordings.
Really? - Arrau was wrong then, he said she could hardly grasp an octave.
I’m sure Arrau was exaggerating, or using poetic licence. They knew and admired each other well. But the tenth is clearly heard in her recordings and she said so herself. I think, with age, it became less comfortable. But you can’t play her repertoire with barely ‘a seventh’, even with her genius. Can you imagine the Ravel left hand or Rachmaninoff second or third, the Brahms second, Iberia?! Impossible. An off the cuff remark from Arrau, meant as a great compliment, I’m sure.
He [Arrau] further said, that she did some special streching exercises to get her hands 'bigger' and more flexible. But fact is that although she had relatively small hands she played the piano wonderfully. I admire her a lot.
@@berlinzerberus So I believe. Every day. But I believe she had a long fifth finger, which greatly helped the stretch. The tenth is very securely there on her recordings. But, if you listen to the opening of the second Rachmaninoff from the 80s, she ‘musically’ manipulates the difficulty to magical effect. And live too. I agree with your admiration of her. She’s always been my favourite. There are very few musicians who have a uniform excellence in all repertoire from Bach to Bliss, Soler to Montsalvatge.
ラローチャ以上の音は出せる者はいない。ラローチャの弟子Saburo Aoyamaの最後の弟子として、またピアノを再開したいと思いました。

You can carve her interpretations in stone, Monuments !
Stereo sound was nor an option, just as correction aspect ratio for video.
Weep.
Portato al diploma.... difficilissimo...ostico
I will never forget the meetings with her many years ago, as she was so humble and couldn't accept a compliment from me...especially when I told her that her interpretation of the Chaconne gave me shivers up and down my spine!
Frustratingly this video and audio are slightly out of sync!
Albeniz composed French music.
According to some, it was he who influence Debussy, not the other way around. If you compare the figurations of his notes, you can see the same figures in Debussy.
@@nonenoneonenonenone Touché
This piano seems too bright, not enough depth in the tone.
I would love to know her practice habits and schedule.
