Lebhafte und wunderschöne Interpretation dieses ein bisschen jazzigen doch perfekt komponierten Konzerts mit klarem Klang des technisch perfekten Soloklaviers und farbenreichen doch perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt melodisch. Der intelligente und geniale Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Orchester in verschiedenen Tempi und mit perfekt kontrollierter Dynamik. Echt US-amerikanisch und wundervoll zugleich!
Worth the 26 minutes. An early American example of a kind of Impressionism and almost neo-classical directness of orchestral expression. Charles Ives was a very different composer, but was probably the greatest and best known exemplar of American Impression, but this composer’s seems to have fallen through the cracks until Griffes came on the scene. I consider Loeffler a foreign composer and don’t include the jazz genre. He should be an active part of American repertory, but I doubt he will be anytime soon.
Original date of composition was 1914, although you often see 1915. I have never seen 1920, but Carpenter was a composer who constantly made changes to his works throughout his life. The problem with the later date is that it obscures how early Carpenter was using jazz and ragtime materials in his concert works.
@@bartjebartmans It's hard with Carpenter. For example, the original ballet Krazy Kat was composed in 1921. He revisited the work and substantially recomposed it in 1947. In that instance, the two works are different enough to be considered separate works. He originally composed Skyscrapers in 1925-1926. He seems to have done some kind of revising to it also in the 1940s, but I do not hear the difference, so it must be mainly confined to scoring.
I think if he just switched the first movement and third movement around he would have managed to appeal to the romantics and the impressionists at the same time. It would be structured much like Ravels 1st concerto
The fact that John Carpenter is a composer of this caliber AS WELL as being the filmmaker that revolutionized horror, bringing us The Thing, Halloween, Big Trouble in Little China, the list goes on and on. And composing original scores for a lot of these movies! BTW, Adventures in A Perambulator is also amazing
Normally, a Concertino is shorter or written for smaller forces. This work is neither shorter, nor written for smaller forces, and the diminutive is likely due to the composer's misplaced modesty. It is, after all, one of his earliest published works.
Beautiful, as usual.

Gracias por "regalarnos" esta Música tan bonita de un Autor que yo desconocía. A partir de ahora, le escucharé más.

I used the date posted on IMSLP. It is the date of first publication. There was no composition date. I assume you have correct dates. Thanks.

Enlightening and good fun - wish the was an orchestra around that would go for it!

No. They're two completely different folks. This Carpenter died in 1951.

Quick question.............what is the difference between a Concerto and a Concertino???? 🤔🤔🤔🤔
A concertino is a smaller/shorter version of a concerto.
@@snarf1504 Thanks! 👍
