DANIEL BARENBOIM ~ Beethoven Piano Concerto # 4 - Wienerphilharmoniker - 2010

The opening Salzburg Festival honoring 50 years of the Grosses Festspielhaus (Large Festival Hall), where the former archiepiscopal princely stables were located, featured Daniel Barenboim playing and conducting the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra in Beethoven's 4th piano concerto in G major.

Genius! I adore this man! He is perfection on all of his performances, pianist or conductor. I'm so thankful that we have these videos to come back to, and enjoy watching Maestro Barenboim over and over. Nobody else plays Beethoven like does.❣❤💯

Cet homme est un des derniers génies de la musique que la Terre porte actuellement. Il est capable à chaque fois de recréer la musique dans l'instant où elle est jouée, comme s'il s'agissait de la création de l'œuvre, c'est à dire de sa première en public. Lorsqu'il joue et dirige un concerto de Beethoven en public, c'est comme une sculpture où à chaque fois qu'on l'expose au public, le sculpteur la recrée en repartant du bloque de pierre initial. Cela donne le sentiment de la musique comme matière vivante, qui reprend vie au début et meurt une nouvelle fois à la fin... avant la prochaine résurrection.
C'est prodigieux. C'est incroyable !

Bravo Maestro!
I believe no one has ever shown so much understanding of Beethoven's legacy.
I have a deep respect for Maestro Baremboim as a conductor, soloist, and human being.
He has become imortal in the hall of fame of the great musicians of our time.

Long Live You Tube to bring such happiness!

When I was an undergraduate student at the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas, I would go to concerts every week given by the College of Music. This is where I learned to appreciate the classical music of the great composers Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Chopin, Vivaldi, Wagner, Grieg, Strauss, and many more.

What a divine piece of music. Beethoven was a man with such turmoil inside, but could produce such beauty. A man who never found love in his life, but gave humanity all his love. Cherish this glorious gift from Ludwig van!

[josegarcia]

Beethoven brought music to the most incredible perfection. With sacrifice, sweat and tears. You only need to see his original scores with dozens, hundreds of corrections.
Eternal thank you, Maestro!

And thank you Barenboim for interpreting his work so exquisitely.

🎉Auguri al grande Maestro per il suo compleanno e per la sua salute.

It's... perfect, wonderful, alive. Bravo Barenboim!

[jimenabronfman]

My favorite within the 5 Beethoven’s piano concerts! Played by Barenboim …….. I’m in heaven! Thank you!

[rogersabbagh]

L’art du piano et si difficile, avec Daniel Barenboïm cela semble un jeu d’enfant. Quelle maestria ! Quelle justesse dans le tempo! Et quel doigté! Peut-être le meilleur pianiste.

First time I've listened to No4 for over twenty years (ruined by so many 'finalists' in piano competitions). Welcome back to the fold: a magnificent performance, as to be expected from DB and the VPO. Thanks for the upload :-)
