This Piano Concerto No. 24 Mozart's just me literally "throw down". This is not so surprising, since, initially, deeply love this piece, numbered 491 in the Kochel catalog. But here, the circumstances of my emotions do not directly to do with the work, except with the rediscovery of an interpretation that I thought I had put aside forever.
When I purchased it several years ago, my first full piano concertos by Mozart - that of Barenboim on EMI, a box recognized as one of most interesting discography - the Argentinian pianist had won in almost all the concerti of the Grand Master (who number 27), the exceptions being the 21st K.467, angelica do major better known as the Elvira Madigan Concerto and the 24th, the dark do minor. Needless to say my disappointment was considerable, given my deep affection for these two works, which are among the most important concertos Mozart mass. During my first hearing the recording do minor , Barenboim (who leads the Chamber Orchestra piano Français) seemed to miss the Dionysian power that requires a successful interpretation of this work . Was it because of its low vigor and tempo of the rhythm a bit flabby?
This morning, lying in a while on my bed to listen in shuffle mode on the iPod, music of all genres, I had to put an end to the listening session because of passing time and the work waiting for me. I therefore promised to listen to one last piece - no matter which, had I swore - before starting my work day, secretly hoping that the software does not fall on a piece that does not correspond not in my mood (I was spinning too much to hear of heavy rock, for example) or that this piece is too long. Research on iTunes shuffle obviously wanted to put my taste to the test, because the piece was selected the first movement of Concerto do minor K.491 Mozart , lasting 14 minutes 53 seconds, in the version of Daniel Barenboim and his orchestra, which is the same for which I felt had always some closure. Not very glad to see my daily chore of another quarter of an hour, or be dropped on the specific interpretation of the work (more than fine versions, Robert Casadesus, Ashkenazy and other were stored in my iPod), I resigned myself to listen to the piece. From the first seconds, I was surprised with a more up tempo and more invigorating than me saying my memory. While listening to the piece, I began to prepare for my day, pulling my coat and filling my bag with books and pencils. I had to go to the obvious fact that I was absolutely captivated by the interpretation of this concerto. I set foot outside, and was dazzled by bright sunlight. At the same time, I crossed to the power 5 the tragic grandeur of the development of the first movement. "This development that Mozart makes me cry" I thought. I walked to the coffee, liquid eyes, letting my voice spouting "My God! "And" Ow! "That attested to my surprise and my joy.
Today I saw another face of art by Daniel Barenboim in Mozart. The great musician what pianist and conductor, Argentina had to ring for the first time in my ears, despair and ethos of this great concerto, so that in some passages, I the impression that he ran the Requiem Grand Master ! I also noticed that Another miracle of music, with the dramatic intensity of this interpretation of the concerto needed a youthfulness and an exquisite radiant breath that gave the pathos of this work a light and poetry of a Incandescent perfect.
Music lovers know what it's like listening to a piece of classical music they love in an interpretation that is not according to their hearts. A real nightmare! Because there are so enamored of a work, they are recovering from this difficult experience ' foul 'for their ears. Do not judge those music lovers who are obsessed with beauty Olympian interpretation and did not depart. Some instruments even more difficult to pass the test, deformation requires semi-professional, I'm pretty ruthless when it comes to criticism of the piano. I am also very difficult for the voices, especially male ones. That's what they have been so touched by this Barenboim Concerto in A minor do my day. The fall of bias is priceless.
Let forgive my subjectivity, but Mozart is the greatest and most perfect of composers. To know , to love and understand the music of Mozart makes our life easier because it makes us enjoy its beauty without precedents, which are still possible in this world, Bach's music is also included in this category. But by making it easier, she knows to make it more difficult for recognizing the greatness of the beauty expressed by those illustrious men, many will suffer from not being able to reach such heights in the expression of their art.
To listen to Daniel Barenboim and his orchestra in this prodigious Concerto in C minor by Mozart is here.
