이집트 협주곡을 알게 되어 행복하네요.
처음부터 끝까지 하나 버릴 거 없이 아름답고 흥미롭습니다.🥰🥰❤❤❤

That final climactic bit on the piano is absolutely incredible. Thibaudet's hands are just a blur!

[yooharold]

Why is this piece less famous and less performed than the other ones? It's truely magnificent

[genestone]

Saint-Saens is so underrated -- his piano concertos are just as good as any of the other 19th century romantic composers, but he gets way less play. And of course, there are all his other wonderful works, from tone poems to operas and the great organ symphony.

What a performance! Those folks were really cooking with gas! Their enjoyment of the music showed through both visually and musically. Saint-Saens ("the French Brahms") occupies a special place in 19th century European music, and rightfully so. Being a violinist, perhaps I'm prejudiced--he wrote three violin concertos, plus several outstanding pieces for violin and orchestra--but i hope that the music of Saint-Saens will be with us for a very long time. He took the best of the French temperament, and combined it with classical form to produce masterpieces.

Andris Nelsons et Jean-Yves Thibaudet ont vécu jusqu'alors pour interpréter ensemble le concerto de piano numéro 5 de Camille Saint-Saëns. Il ne peut en être autrement. Un grand destin. La messe est dite.

[wills.]

The conductor looked like he was having a better time than anyone! He made me smile!

[cosmincoco]

I have read almost all of his live and I see and listen his music otherwise. I am only "jealous" I cannot play piano. Grand merci.

[bullockhindquarterwoman]

Jean-Yves Thibaudet is truly a master on this masterpiece; he brings the passion to his teacher Aldo Ciccolini's precision. This is an unrivaled performance.

[Moo]

I simply don't think I will ever listen to a better version.

[amadeusforever]

Magnifique pianiste, et au-delà, superbe musicien !
 Merci Monsieur Thibaudet !

[davecarnal]

I have had the fortune of seeing Thibaudet in concert twice. He is fantastic. This performance is no exception. Fantastic performance by all.

[stephenmessick]

There are many magical moments in this concerto. It's a shame it isn't played more often.

[johnburns]

I am 65 and I heard this for the first time last Saturday when Sir Stephen Hough played the Second Movement at the Last Night of the Proms. That I have gone all these years without ever hearing it is testament to how underrated and how rarely played it is. What a shame. It's gorgeous.

[mickdunn]

Love the Composer! Love the Pianist! Love the Conductor! Love the orchestra!...Absolutely LOVE THIS MUSIC!

[mjlosur]

Cette version un peu ancienne reste pour moi la version de référence. Orchestre et pianiste parfaits, des nuances qu'on ne retrouve pas ailleurs. Insurpassable...❤

[bcing]

One of the best piano concertos. Quite a shame it is not performed more often.

[Mushikuchi]

I got to see him performing this piano concerto last week. Describing it as breathtaking would be an understatement

[MariaCatarina]

Jean-Yves Thibaudet interprète toujours trop bien Debussy, Ravel, Satie, etc...et là encore, c'est impeccable ! Oui, c'est magnifique tout simplement !

[onrwy]

His precise technique, with such smoothness, is like a fresh water stream bubbling over...with these haunting, romantic melodies..bring tears.
