I'm so proud! Here exposed an amazing artist from the heart of Norway, Trondheim. As a pupil of the master himself, Fredric Chopin. How directly significant and marvelous can it be! I'm a huge fan of Chopin. Now we can listen to his artistic offspring and it's a pure adventure. Tellefsen is a mature artist controlling all aspects of the current, at that time current elements of composing at the utmost high level. It's a pity that our young generation doesn't know anything about this, staring into the screen hoping for a better life behind the screen. How stupid!!
Thomas Tellefsen is indeed a composer worth investigating. We have released his two piano concertos, chamber music and ALL his solo piano works with the unrivalled Einar Steen-Nøkleberg. Read more here: www.grappa.no/en/artist/thomas-d-a-tellefsen/
Keep up the good work! I'd really like to see some other Norwegian composers get more attention, especially Sverre Jordan. His cello concerto of 1945 needs somebody to take a look at it and maybe record it.
Sí...sobrepasa por mucho nuestras esperanzas! "S'io credesse che mia risposta fosse, A persona che mai tornasse al mondo, Questa fiamma staria senza piu scosse. Ma perciocche giammai di questo fondo...." Saluti di Messico!
@@johannrufinatscha4210 Absolutely. Well, Chopin was the first composer specialized on "his" instrument. And alas, his life was too short to gather all the experience needed to work with a symphonic orchestra. It seems, Tellefsen was a lucky man in having all the opportunities, and he made use of them.
@@MadMusicologist Chopin "the first" to specialize on "his" instrument???!!! I invite you to take a look at the oeuvre of John Field. No works without piano either, and he predates Chopin by a considerable margin. 7 concertos and no other concertante works I can find (and all of them more skillfully orchestrated than Chopin's). No chamber music except for a piano quintet that appears to be lost.
Det er så flott å ha så fremragende klaverkonserter som begge Tellefsens, begge er også så mettet med følsomme tekniske kvaliteter. Man hører ofte Chopin i bakgrunnen, men det er jo fullverdig orkestrering og oppkommer av spenstige innfall, spesielt i tarantellaen her, og i den originale norske finalen i den første konserten.
Pleasant music clearly influenced by Chopin. But less ingenious as I see it. #3 tarantella best piece of concerto No2. Need to listen No1 to have full perspective of this author.
Agreed, the ideas in here are disjointed and all over the place. Would have been a far more formidable concerto if he did a lot more editing, because there are some fine ideas in there.
Pietro Landri The first time I heard this work, the first movement was awe-inspiring. Both the startling key of E major and its clear homage to E-major slow movements of Chopin and Mendelssohn seemed utterly out of place. In the case of Chopin, the apparent switch of sources from the F-minor concerto to the E-minor is one source of discomfort. But so is the sudden interloping of Mendelssohn. The theme of the slow movement is a near-ripoff of the corresponding page of Mendelssohn's G-minor concerto. My impression is that slow movements weren't Tellefsen's strong suit the way they would become with Grieg once the latter found inspiration in folk music.
As a pianist I can't help listening with an ear for whether it's really pianistic writing. As with so many workaday concertos, this one is almost entirely for the right hand - he doesn't know what to do with the left, and before long it gets really tedious as a direct result. It's not a bad piece in conception, but the piano part could have been written so much better by somebody with real pianistic insight.
A beautifully written piece of music! As a pianist myself I'm always really happy when a composer knows how to write musical without the tedious all-too-common pianistic clichés.

Largely undiscovered talent.

Very much enjoying Tellefson's concertos!
instablaster
Bel concerto,ben orchestrato.
Ottima l'esecuzione.
Complimenti per il caricamento.

Замечательный концерт ❤
I don't know what you said.
But it looks good.
Спасибо
@@johannrufinatscha4210- He said that it's a great concert.
I'm so glad I listened to this tonight
How is it possible that this heroic composer is so little known outside of Scandinavia? He seems to be the binding link between Beethoven and Chopin.
He was actually a Chopin pupil, but his orchestral writing is a lot more colorful.

Very enjoyable.
Tellefsen is a pleasant discovery for me. I think an own romantic style.
magnificamente struggente
0:20 reminds me of Vivaldi and 0:40 of a Strauss Waltz. But the mixture works well.
Has some very attractive pianistic writing

He struggled to become a student of Chopin and succeedeed - and after Chopins untimely death, Tellefsen took over some of his students.
nice soft music, but I misses romantism of 1854 with romantic melodies and themes.

chopin, are you?
If you read the bio you'll see he's one of Chopin's more successful and talented students.
His father was born in 1774 not 1754. Lol
But, Can you REALLY be Sure?
Another "who?" composer, needing another trip to Wikipedia for more information.
