I love the triple concerto, but I really would like to hear a version that would go a little quicker than the ones I know. I always feel as if the music could go about five bpm faster. Are there any fast versions of this work?

Triple Concerto

I am totally fond of the triple concerto !!! (One can be a teacher, a pianist and even a SINGER without to be only devoted to himself Rod !!!). I love ALL the mouvements, and I must say the RONDO ALLA POLACCA amazed me.
I have two versions of it (PERLMAN, YO YO MA and BARENDOIM, the second one is ARRAU, SZERYNG an STARKER with Eliahu Inbal as conductor).
Regarding the works for piano and cello I have KEMPFF and FOURNIER.
I think you all know that BEETHOVEN wrote for cello mostly for the virtuoso Jean-Louis DUPORT... and of course you know that ROSTROPOVITCH plays on DUPORT's cello : an amazing sound indeed (I have heard him in PARIS playing the Sonatas 1 and 2 from Beethoven).
It is very interesting to hear how Beethoven treated the theme from HAENDEL's oratorio "Juadas Maccabeus"... and also the Duet from MOZART's Magic flute ! A very intelligent work !Claudie

I prefer the dynamic of the first version (PERLMANN, YO YO MA, BARENDOIM...). The fact that the pianist conduct himself the orchestra is probably the cause of this nervosity... But the second one is not bad at all, especially in the slow mouvement.
(Naturally I wanted to write "Judah" and not "Juadah" !!!... the listening of HAENDEL's operas and oratorio music is very important to understand Beethoven. Heandel had a bigger idea of what to do with an orchestra than Mozart or Haydn, and his developments of themas are far away more interesting).

I do love "Jephta" too... which version are you listening ?
I just read here in Germany that a big movie is planed for 2003 about HAENDEL ! Let us hope it will not be something in the mood of "Immortal beloved" or "Amadeus". They are writing : "a movie about the story of the first big rock star".... as they put a picture of Haendel I think they are speaking of him !

I was watching Ken Russel's movie 'Mahler' last week. Interesting, though some of the bizarre imagery does not quite work, and the ending is weak. In fact it has no ending as such, it just simply stops when you least expect it. Still better than IB though!!

Did you find this movie 'believable'? I mean did they make it fake Hollywood style or does it stick to the facts for the most part?

It is not a comprehensive analysis. It covers his Jewish upbringing, and his relationship with his wife and that's about it. Alot of it takes place in a train carriage. It's deliberately abstract, I presume it is not meant to be an authentic biography in any way, it is just capturing a few emotions. Not a bad idea in principle. IB is more conventional and thus what goes on must be placed under greater scrutiny - and here it obviously fails dismally.

I agree, I remember this film from a while back and found it rather bizarre but fascinating! Did you get in on video or was it on tv?
