Thank you! This marvellous performance and recording takes me back to 1956 when I was 14 years old and, for the first time, heard Solomon play this. I was smitten, and for all these years have been searching for this very recording. For me it is the benchmark performance of the Beethoven no. 3. And now I’ve found it again! Thank you with all my heart for uploading it.
Solomon! I heard his name almost 40 years ago, but when I have a chance to hear this at last, such clarity and such free flow really suprises me. Noble and one of the highest.
An exceptional performance by a pianist who was truly great at the Beethoven concertos. Thank you for uploading. Does somebody know who is the composer of the cadenzas? Nobody plays these nowadays, and I like them.
Clara Schumann composed the first movement cadenza. Solo's first teacher, Mathilde Verne, studied with her and that may explain his attachment to the cadenza, for he first performed the concerto in public when he was 10 years-old.
The recording with Boult has a touch of the miraculous about it. There is also a concerto performance with the Concertgebouw and Beinum . Solomon and Beinum got along splendidly and it shows in the performance, especially the witty exchanges in the final movement.
It is rather a pity that Solomon didn't also record this with the Beethoven cadenza. But perhaps the circumstances of this recording would have made that difficult, or perhaps he simply had a lifelong attachment to the Clara Schumann cadenza (which opens an interesting historical and emotional perspective, albeit completely anachronistic). It gives opportunities for cantabile playing rather than just bravura, and for orchestral tone colours. Not altogether regrettable.
I guess it's possible. Personally, I work with Adobe Audition, but just because I'm used to it, I haven't tried Audacity or any other software. And as for the EQ, well, any Equalizer will do the job fine, preferrably a parametric one, or just those with several bands. I rely much on my own ears, so I avoid using EQ matching software (izotope ozone, Har Bal) because I don't think a recording should sound the same as any other..
Merci Victor ,am ascultat alt concert 3 in interpretarea lui Solomon Cutner. D e unde ai acest remaster??? Am uitat ca vorbesc cu Victor Eskenazy pe care-l cunosc din clasa XI liceul Ghe.Lazar!!!!
Whoever made him ruhin his glorious performance with that ewglee cadenza! We know of course that it was that unknown conductor who pushed it upon mild mannered Soloman. For that, I am sure that Menges will remain unknown and obscure forever while he endures the punishment and wrath of Gabriel down in the dark dungeouns of Howl.
Nope. Solo's first teacher, Mathilde Verne, who studied with Clara Schumann -- who wrote the cadenza. Menges was a fellow student and great friend of Solomon's. He should have had a much higher profile as a conductor. And don't think Solo was mild-mannered when it came to ideas about performances!!!
I shall now inject a few boring facts. First of all no conductor tells a soloist which cadenza to play, and certainly not a top league player like Solomon, appearing with a conductor of much lesser profile as here. Bryan Crimp's biography reveals that he always played this cadenza for Beethoven 3. It is by Clara Schumann and his childhood teacher was Mathilde Verne who was a pupil of Madame Schumann. So it seems that having learnt the piece as a young child with Verne he never rethought the choice of cadenza, even though Beethoven left one that is utterly inspired and makes Schumann's sound third rate.
Herbert Menges conducted with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, and the BBC Symphony Orchestra, as well as the Philharmonia. He was far more famous than most of us will ever be!

Marvelous!!! incredible sound!!!!
I can heat that it is not just your ears, but your passion and feeling. Thanks for your works again.
Bravo for your fantastic job,incroyable qualité,for both the interpretation choose and the remastering job,congratulation from France

Bravo............Bravo......................................
I can feel the tears of young Beethoven
Великолепная, прекрасная музыка в прекрасном исполнении! Спасибо!!
Wow, thanks for the upload
Congrats and many thanks! I love your work! (Don't forget the Brahms second with Furtwangler we talked about some months ago:))
Solomon recorded this concerto twice - an earlier version made during WW2 is conducted by Sir Adrian Boult.
The recording with Boult has a touch of the miraculous about it. There is also a concerto performance with the Concertgebouw and Beinum . Solomon and Beinum got along splendidly and it shows in the performance, especially the witty exchanges in the final movement.

Sounds amazing, how do you do these remasters?
I guess it's possible. Personally, I work with Adobe Audition, but just because I'm used to it, I haven't tried Audacity or any other software.

ReSoundWorks Why the fuck do you talk alone?
Is it possible to do on audacity? I really want to know how you achieve this wonderful EQ.

Time, patience and a couple plug-ins ;)
ReSoundWorks who you were talking to?
A great performance by a great pianist.
Solomon's last official recording ?
Does anyone know what cadenza he is playing?
+SpaghettiToaster According to the video info, Clara Schumann.
Cadenza by Clara Schumnann..: indeed, Solomon had been a pupil of C. Schumann's last pupil herself Mathilde Verne.
THAT EXPLAINS IT.

@@matthewzisi300 Certainly he should have been of greater fame, but he wasn't. A very distinguished musician whom Solomon knew he could trust.
