My mother was a concert pianist. She played this all my life even when she was in care.
It never left her.
Magic for all time I think.
ñ
what a blessing and a joy for you and her!
She is in a better place probably still playing the piano as we speak. It's still magic, it really never ends for someone even if they are not here anymore and just somewhere else were we cannot see them.
@@JosephFur Everyday I sit at the piano I bought her 40 years ago and I am inspired to play. Mind you I was a bassist. But her music was my inheritance. Life is indeed strange if you let yourself accept the emotion and connection that links your past to what will be. Perhaps you know what I mean in those words.
@@JosephFur yep. You are so right.
I heard this on a classical station while I was running errands for work. Sometimes the pricks don't even tell you who the artist is. I got back to work and the piece was still playing and it was the end of the day. I sprinted to the clock as fast as I could and sprinted back to my car and got back in time to get the name :). This will probably always be my favorite piano work.
Had me a good drink years later and listened again and wept.
I love your enthusiasm!💥
EDVARD GRIEG WAS AWESOME
MUSICIAN AND COMPOSER
Worth it....
Awesome, Ive experienced such a similar as you told.
I dreamed awake when i was driving home today. Spotify “algoritm” introduced me to this trip. Ive to stopped at the river side road just to allow me take a screenshot from my iphone and searching for further info... and Ive fount this precious comments.
My best whishes!!!

Music is the true gold
💫♾
My heart soared high the first time I heard this beautiful piece.....when I was 6 yrs old ....i am now 62,and it has the same effect and feeling for me...wonderful composer...💙
God bless you. ❤
Grieg's music deserves more attention than usually gets.
I saw and loved the biopic about him SONG OF NORWAY. Watch it if you ever get the chance.
I used to start every morning on the long bus ride to school with this piece, every single morning, half asleep and dreaming of such beautiful stories as the music played in my ears through the headphones. Many years later the piece with its magnificent highs and lows still reminds me of self-assured teenaged bravado softened by tragic, desperate heartbreak. Alternating between wistful and frantic and triumphant and broken, swelling with a powerful and dramatic emotionality. I can almost see the same stories play out, if I close my eyes. There is no music more beautiful than this, that ever was or will be.
My name-brother, countryman and biggest idol. If i could have just ONE day with this master of music.. Just one!
The melodies do the talking..
Brilliant composer, a bridge to the romantic, post "beethovenian" era. His impact was obvious even on Rachmaninov's c minor, 2nd p. concerto.
So beautiful. Didn’t know Greig did this piece. So delightful! Bravo 👏
@@yp3424 I thought it was Schumann's influence there
R u from norway? I feel like every Grieg fan is brother in arms somehow
I played this in my provincial orchestra, and the soloist played with so much passion and feeling. The true beauty of the piece is lost by recording it. Amazing recording, but much better in person; with the right soloist.
He's not the Albert Einstein of the music, Albert Einstein is the Edvard Grieg of the physics lol
I think Einstein was Edvard's love child. I wonder who the mother was, perhaps Madam Curie.
!. Paper, I think. And then, Bohr?
Nice picture.
Gramlich--einstein and what ... ? Oh. Mazurka.
both are fair
As a norwegian I can't listen to this concerto without feeling very homesick. It's so beautiful it actually hurts sometimes, and it's like Grieg is using the notes like a painter would use his brush to paint the norwegian landscape. It is interesting to note that Grieg actually wrote parts of this concerto in Denmark during a visit at some friends place. He would sit in a small greenhouse that also had a piano and piece ideas together. It was premiered on april 3, 1869, but Grieg couldn't attend the performance because he had other engagements in Christiania (Oslo). The concert became all the rage and Grieg became incredibly popular in Europe as a result. Franz Liszt played through the concert at first glance, (reading directly from the notes), when Grieg visited him. Liszt adored it and became ecstatic about Griegs talent. It would have been so nice if he had completed his second concerto.
For me nationality means little to nothing. I feel like this music gives me a warm hug and makes me so happy. It gives me the same homesick feeling but not for the country that i am born in, witch again means very little to me, but for my true home where i was raised and where my parents live.
You're absolutely right. I mean, I love german, russian... all kinds of music, really. It doesn't matter. Music is the universal language. The warmest of hugs in this concerto is one of the melodic themes of the second movement ( 14:19 ). It cracks me up. It's like coming home to safety.
I can understand your feeling, and I was not born in Norway! But some of my ancestors were, I have been there, and saw Grieg's beautiful home in Bergen. Believe me, you should be extraordinarily proud of him and what your countrymen did during WWII. No wonder that Winston Churchill said, "if anyone wants to know why we are going to win this war, let him look to Norway!" What a fabulous country!

I always become tearful whenever I hear this legendary classical piece of music. As it reminds me of when I was a young boy of 8, when I used to spend my weekends with my dear gran. This was my gran's favourite piece of music. My gran would always pretend to conduct this, while in her kitchen preparing Sunday dinner, while I was in the backroom next to her kitchen shelling garden peas. Thank you for adding this to CZcams.
A masterpiece indeed, but how I wish Grieg would have prolonged the finale; it's so good I can't get enough of it.
good point
markku51 subscribe to my channel.
Yes, the finale is really good.
There's an age-old principle in music called "leave them hungry." When you have a good part don't overplay it, that way people will come back to hear it again and again. Something pop artists willfully ignore, in stead they opt to sing the same line over and over until your head goes numb.
Dol Lon good point but it's half an hour long
I played a shortened version of this when my Mom was my piano teacher. I can listen to this time and again.
One of the finest classical pieces.
I fell in love with a lovely blonde Norwegian girl, who fell in love with my best mate.....oh those melancholy interludes in the first movement still get me. 50 years ago now. Doesn't hurt now but it sure brings back memories. :)
Oh....I am so sorry, Billy. Happy that you got over it!
Look at her now and you will be cured.
i fell you bro hahahaha
Once upon a time. ... my best mate going after my girl sobered me up. Literally been sober 36 years now
What a one-of-a-kind concerto. A lot of composers can make great works by beautifully developing a theme - but Grieg's ability to come up with themes and melodies so original and beautiful in themselves is just unbelievable... My heart will always belong to Beethoven for the emotion carried through his music, but Grieg's music has a very rare "spark" to it...
You speak the truth, Just Power and Beauty, My favorite. - JPGold out.
I've been looking 18 years for the 6 minutes of Adagio. It finally happened and true tears of joy from reliving that 20 year old's memories, here tonight in music
I love Griegs' music - this is the real norwegian, european value!
Jeg elsker Griegs musikk - det er riktig norsk, europeisk verdi!
Szeretem Grieg zenéjét - ez igazi norvég, európai érték!
vakkert!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes
wuttt you speak Hungarian and Norwegian!!that's cool
I could take or leave classical music until my dad bought a record of this gorgeous Grieg concerto for me-a page was turned. I played it over and over.
Breathtakingly-almost painfully-beautiful. I cannot hear this and not be moved to tears.
About 10 minutes in I was sad because I thought it was over, but I was relieved when I saw the whole concerto is about half an hour long :)
Tenía 7 años cuando escuché por primera vez este concierto, tengo 74 a aún me gusta, cada vez que lo escucho me emociona igual que aquella vez.
A moving piece of music. The second movement is painfully beautiful.
Interesting fact: Canada's pianist and Bach specialist, Glenn Gould was Grieg's nephew.
Actually Glenn Goulds maternal grandfather was Grieg's cousin.
Samuel Hyde you copied that from Wikipedia
Glenn looks like Kylo Ren
@@Csfannw You say that like it's a bad thing. You expect the guy to remember Grieg's complete ancestry?
@@numbo655 well, maybe not Grieg's but at least Gould's
Bis heute die beste Aufführung dieses Konzertes!
Edward was a genius! ❤️
Proud to be a fellow norwegian❤️
I am proud to be a human, that can understand this kind of art. :)
This majestic, magical, almost mystical concerto stands proud among any, a rising and falling tide of human emotion, awareness, endeavour, with sublime reward in so lyrical and passionate an account, appreciation, of life's worth, in the widest, wildest, strangest ways and forms, the deepest senses- quite beautifully done here.
And beautifully written comment...
wonderful tribute! and that is what it is...and I hadn't thought of the adjective 'mystical' but it most certainly is--part of it is human emotion other part nature emotion which makes this concerto unique...
Wonderful description.
Edvard Grieg the most beautiful piano concert, I have been listening since I was5.
One of the best compositions for piano
Oh dear, this is truly a master piece in the repertoires of classical music. I can't count how many times that I listened to this one since I was a little boy. I would say that I keep listening to this one, and I wish to say many Thanks to the Pianist and anyone in lovely Orchestra. Thank You. TKH.
This piano concerto keeps music in the eternal fields of hope. A masterpiece
This is what I call a true work of art. Thanks, Grieg. *-*'
Ce B lang lang the love
lang lang the love by nigell Hess
I highly recommend this recording for the soloist's superior interpretation of the piece. Every time I listen to this piece, I am taken to another world free of any problems. I have listened to this particular video more than 50 times.
What a marvelous performance and recording. The sound is ravishing. I have always loved this masterpiece. The second movement, still to this day, is my favorite of the three; It still can move me to tears. Oh well.Lo!
Grieg ... Musicien et poète entre tous, nous a livré ce magnifique Concerto pour piano ... testament ultime de son art et de l'âme nordique qu'il a si bien su incarner !
the greatest work in history of Norwegian classical music
This masterpiece was written for his daughter. She passed when she was 1 year old and her name was Alexandra.
How tragic
This is my favorite classical music piece by far. It is put together wonderfully, and it expresses so much emotion, it make me happy just listening to it. Well done Grieg
This compelling Concerto...a favorite of mine for over fifty years. It's as though, "an outsider's view, fantasy and expression of 'love,' itself"--in both the emotional giving and receiving. The Concerto seems to contain an emotional expression of "truth," that is common to us all in our humanity. I love it. I remember Emil Gilel's fine rendition--somewhere, there in the old cobwebs of my memories
thank you, thank you youtube, I work so hard all my life, as a Dr. to be able to sit down and listen to all the classic music we can tune wih CZcams is almost a magnificent gift
Thank you for putting this on. Greig must have been a lovely human being to have written this. My memories are of sitting under my father's piano as a child.
Thanks for your upload of this masterpiece, with such a great interpretation!
A seriously perfect performance of a most beautiful piece by one of my favourite composers!
Absolutely Stunning!! Thank you for uploading this masterpiece
not sure if your name and/or picture fits your comment here..... then again, i prob shouldn't be talking..
This deserves 100 million views.
Волшебная ,поэтичная,красочная музыка концерта и замечательное исполнение солиста и оркестра подарили радость и удовольстаие.Выражаю сердечную благодарность за минуты счастья
I love this piece. And was really grooving on this version in particular. So sharp, so clear, crystalline perfection on the keys. Passionate, varied moods. And THEN I glanced back over to the video and saw the face materialize and thought, "Wait WHOOA, is THAT Dubravka Tomsic?! No wonder it's so good!" I only happened to know of her from some other '92ish "Classic Digital CD" of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata" my uncle bought us as a Christmas present and which was among our first Compact Discs. It was one of those bargain dealies, but the sound was simply so moving and astonishing I could never get over it so I played that CD hundreds of times. And I'd later heard other performers do the piece and they sounded limpid, or muffled by comparison, like they weren't feeling it and swaying with it and slightly dancing dangerously outside the rigid confines of the time-signature the way Dubravka played with all these things so effortlessly. So that was what made me research the performer herself.
ANYWAY, I got SO excited when I saw her face here that I yelled across the room to my wife and then set about composing this fan love-letter of a utubular post.
THANKS for the upload.
This piano concert is too much for my heart ♡
Eol S.B. open it
Your body is likely to malfunction if you open the heart.
I'm so glad I was a Hip-Hop head back in the Golden Era... It really taught me to appreciate music whatever the genre.
I literally cry every time I listen to this masterpiece ❤
Thank you Grieg for your beautiful music ❤
Beautiful! This is the man who wrote the "incidental music" for Henrik Ibsen's play "Peer Gynt", which is how I first heard Grieg's music. A brilliant composer, truly deeply emotional music. It touches my heart.
i love this CONCERTO...OH Grieg......
This is so poignantly beautiful, I admit I cry each time I hear this gorgeous piano music......thank you....
Good for you bro. I do too. A man's tears may be weighed in gold. Or something more precious.
So many wonderful concertos written by the Masters, but this is the best.
A wonderful and most underrated pianist! I have a number of her CDs
Great composer. Great piece.
Sofisticated beauty...I v heard countless times,never enough...d i v i n e

Jonathon Toni As long as Rachmaninoff's 2nd, and 3rd are at the top, the list is accurate.
someone who loves Rachmaninoff! Finally!
Jonathon Toni wheres brahms???
I've loved this composition since I was a child. The interpretation is definitely superb. I get very emotional whenever I hear it, just like now, as I'm writing this comment. Regards from Guayaquil, Ecuador.
Hispanos escuchando música clásica. Saludos de 🇦🇷Argentina🇦🇷
Thank you for putting this piece by Grieg on CZcams. :-)
Great compositor!! Brilliant!!!
He's Playing all the right notes and also in the right order
oh
More Grieg recordings exist from Dubravka , a woman born 7 February 1940 in Dubrovnik , Croatia
WWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW
Hahaha yesss yes yes! XD
Lucia fall le rondini
Listening to classical music after a stressful day of work while enjoying a glass of whine is the greatest thing ever!
YES! That, and walking your dog and appreciating all the curiosity and joy continuously emanating from their little bodies.
One of my favourite pieces and will always be. Love this tune.
me and you both brother
This is why Norwegians have so much pride. This guy.
+Bayou Tube . . I dunno... 16 people thought it did?
+Bayou Tube it was a harmless comment, not a clue to a conspiracy
+Ryan Ferretti
pride has various meanings, you know in this context it is not the same pride as say, conceited pride or pride of one's personal achievement. one can feel pride in their child or a family member doing something - similar with pride in someone of your culture. you may be all the more proud to see their accomplishment represent your family especially if it is inspires by the land or history your family know. you and Bayou are being deliberately pedantic and quite hostile to a completely harmless comment. go away
+Xyko
it was harmless. ignore these twots.
It's funny how just a small harmless comment caused so much discussion
Величественно, талантливо, грандиозно!
I enjoy the Grieg concerto most when played like this, with poetry, warmth and noble passion rather than as a virtuoso warhorse. The orchestral introduction to the Adagio must be one of the most beautiful in the entire genre.I am glad to hear the Finale played as a real Norwegian "Halling", not like a hell-for-leather "Grand Galop Brillant". This pianist's playing is so natural and unmannered.
The pianist could understand the fight and history between the music, all the sense of it, all the poetry. Norwegian, Finnish and Hungarian music are the most brave and the only ones that pass to us the poetry of the fight.
those three adjectives are spot on--the orchestra and pianist dust off this masterpiece and infuse it with great warmth....they let the music breathe....its like listening to it for the first time...
I fully agree, having heard this concerto many times. Superb!
The thing with Grieg is that that he wrote folk music. That means that those who had the tune were king. If that was the orchestra then the pianist had to accompany them no matter how spectacular his part was. Listening to this performance I would say that the balance is just about perfect.
ME ENCANTA ESTE CONCIERTO DEL SR.GRIEG..GRACIAS POR COMPARIR.
This is by far the best rendition of Grieg's timeless piano concerto. I've listened to it no less than 30 times; this piece invokes true emotional gratification in me. Dubravka Tomsic plays the concerto better than any other pianist. Her tempo, expression, and musicality far surpass any other recording I've listened to. Take my word for it. Don't listen to any other recording; this is the one.
Rubinstein is amazing as well, and at a shocking 88 years old!
Another Grieg recording by Tomsic also exists and is also very good.

Just a whisper, a faint farewell,forever lasting immortal memories & the sweet nostalgia this evokes. How it triumphs in a world frozen in its own darkness. BEAUTIFUL.
Beautiful performance ....Thanks for sharing..
Gorgeous music to be sure, but what stuns me the most is the 1-minute span between 15:07 - 16:12 that I cannot get enough of. Wow!
Beethoven piano con
Beautiful and Unique Music , Thank You for sharing, Best of Luck
Love that first movement as interpreted here. Not overstated, not bombastic.
I should listen to more Grieg. This simply blew me away.
I absolutely LOVE his holberg suite. Gets you from the first 10 seconds. But his Varen (spring) is something else
Always impressed with this masterpiece, and fortunately for most of the world Balkan strife is taking a back seat to this symphony orchestra.
Win, win.
Warren, don't you mean Baltic, not Balkan?
I love that classical music videos on youtube have some of the most international comment sections ever. Proof that music transcends borders and nationalities ! Cheers from France
This is so beautiful to this old man it literally makes me howl with pure joy, my tears are still running....thank you so much!
Really
Sweet and fantasic trip!!! The sky was mine in this moment...
Genial, unforgettable, a nice masterpiece so inspired, what else ? One of my ten beloved concerts . . . .
Can't forget this.
Thanks a lot. I love Piano concertos. It's wonderful.
Lovely performance fans, thank you sharing, now that you can date all Grieg lovers on-line you can organize a trip to his home place, exploring Grieg in his birth land, yeah, try to imagine what an unforgettable experience it might be, let the music inspire you fans, get in action, Covid immune savious of humankind deserve to celebrate & paaaarty fans, the music is just puuuurrfect
I pulled this up to write while listening to it, but I ended up just listening because it was too beautiful to focus. Amazing.
Fantastic💗💗💗Rachmaninoff said that is Grieg's concerto the best piano concerto ever writen!
I had the privilege to hear this a few months ago in LA. Much better to listen to in person!
same! I agree!
Hearing classical music live is really the only thing that does it justice
So far the best performance of this concerto uploaded in one file.
How could someone dislike this? Its absolutely amazing! :)
I adore this concerto for its clarity. I like it as much as the rach concertos or chopins concerto.
This is the only thing more beautiful than the sound of a waterfall.
This music is so fantastic that even deaf people listen to this. Their number is 128 at the moment :D :D
How to put a dislike on this masterpiece if you are not deaf????
Shorena--kudos for mentioning something i often forget--that indeed many deaf people 'listen' to music. some with headphones, (bone conduction?) An aquaintance has his main speaker box made into the base of his chair--Even though i still have good hearing for my 75 years, i may do one---its is quite pleasant. thank you for the reminder, and Markku for this wonderful post of one of my Grieg favourites. regards, arthur
Maybe they don't like it, I think that is a small possibility
Shorena Asabashvili :))) Maybe the best comment all over the net! Genial, Mylady! Agree 100% Grieg is great: a Ritchie Blackmore fan from Fungary:)
Shorena Asabashvili They put a dislike on it, because "Like" is just not enough.
Our Mom and Dad had many great records when we were kids. So I often listened to Grieg's Piano Concerto, and have always loved it!
I thank my high school music teacher for introducing me to the classics, like Grieg. Fantastique.
this is impeccable !!!
cant get enough..
My favorite concerto 😍❤️👏
This is a lovely piece composed by Edvard Grieg! I'd heard this back in 1978 on one of my records by the composer!
Magnificent... simply magnificent!
Uno de mis grandes favoritos. Se agradece en el alma. ¡Bravo!
One of my favorite piece...the first time I hear this concerto I was very young in Santiago (Chile)Thanks for posting this wonderful music,cheers from New Orleans the City of Jazz.
Phenomenal interpretation...I am impressed...B r a v o ...Jako mi je drago da mogu da se divim nekome iz bivse SFRJ,OVO JE PREDIVAN KONCERT...Hvala
In my opinion, this concert is his masterpiece.
