I came across this performance of Beethoven's Fifth Piano Concerto earlier this week on another blog. I'm afraid I don't remember which blog, so I can't give credit for the link, but it was a lovely performance, and I thought I'd pass it on to my readers this morning.
Lovely!

Bravo!! This movement brought back such a pleasant memory; I had just started dating my wife-to-be, and we were at her apartment and she played this piano concerto while we were dining. I had heard it before, but until I was in her presence I had never felt the passion of this piece, and it instantly became one of our go-to pieces of music when we traveled together or simply had dinner. Thirty-five years later, we are still together and have survived so many things -- cancer for both of us, family tragedies, ups and downs -- but music like this has sustained us throughout.
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting this, it was a nice 20 minutes spent on a Sunday morning here in east Tennessee.
by the ninth he finally figured it out and got it right.
ReplyDeleteI believe that appeared on Cold Fury.
ReplyDeleteI hate to spoil your Sunday; but the news from South Africa is not good.
ReplyDeleteNot good at all.
peace, bro.
Hi, Amahl. Do you mean your wife-to-be was playing it on the piano herself while eating dinner at the same time?! If so, I think she did Grimaud one better.
ReplyDeleteDo you get a chance in East Tenn. to go to concerts like this? Knoxville must have an orchestra. Anything similar in Johnson City or Kingsport?
