Daniel Barenboim: Beethoven Masterclasses
Anyone who loves Beethoven,and is serious about piano music will love these dvd's!
Barenboim has spent over 50 years of his life with these Masterworks and definitely has something to say not only to the younger generation of pianists but to those of us who delight in discovering something new in pieces we have been listening to, studying and playing for many years.
Almost as good as being there with the Master!

5.0 out of 5 stars Master classes of a master pianist about a master composer!, December 26, 2007

This review is from: Barenboim on Beethoven: Masterclass [DVD Video] (DVD)

Daniel Barenboim in his double role of director and pianist have achieved a very significant place in the most different musical stages. His talent is like a big watershed of ideas and original proposals about the importance of the sound, modulation, phrasing, fingering and articulation about some fundamental passages of the most distinguished Beethoven's Piano Sonatas.

There are notable, wisdom and substantial observations in this sense through a very warm exchange of points of view with these young pianists, as well with the present audience.

An invaluable document that must be seen not only by the newcomers musicians, but for all those who love the music.

This review is from: Barenboim on Beethoven: Masterclass [DVD Video] (DVD)

being a musician and a pianist I was glued to the CD!
Barenboim's commentaries, criticisms, demonstrations and knowledge of the Sonatas and the way he solves their difficulties is astonishing.
It is an enlightening experience and a great exposure for the talented pianists featured in the CD;some of them engaged already in promising,exciting and successful careers (like Lang Lang, here at his best and Jonathan Biss).

A MUST WATCH for pianists and amateurs alike.
