The haters have to deal with the fact that Ravel liked this concerto. When asked which piece he recommended for studying orchestration, Ravel indicated this. I think of the naysayers complaining that this is an easy concerto as unmusical virtuosity lovers. Difficulty lovers! What would they say about Mozart or Haydn concertos then? Saint-Saëns did it exactly right, it’s practical to play fast, meaning it’s pianistic. In short, there’s no accounting for the taste and opinions of certain people... And those saying Saint-Saëns lacks a personality just haven’t realized he is the *elegant* one. This concerto is not revolutionary but all it wants to be is musical, expressive, elegant, enjoyable and correct, and it manages that much.
Well-orchestrated does not mean musically tasteful. A few bars in and I can see plenty of cliches with no flow. The opening bars are drawn out. Theme is repetitive and the 'intense' sections say too little with too many notes. Then, when he decides to start variations or developments, it's almost purely virtuosic passages lacking thematic meat. There is too much piano, so that when the orchestra actually responds musically, it is more of a surprise than a reinforcement. Clear continuity is crucial to maintain the listener's interest over such a long period of time.
Yes, I do not mean to condemn Saint-Saëns with this review. He is still a prolific composer to be feared and respected for his contributions to so many different repertoires.
@@ImvN8Lex I have written no concerti. Are you implying that the only valid means of criticism and taste is to have achieved equally to whomever you criticise? If so, you are missing the entire point of being a musician or listening to/appreciating music.
I love to come to the comments on TH-cam just to read people expressing in their own words their reactions and emotions when something this beautiful moves them.
My favourite thing about this concerto is the fact it's so clearly influenced by such a range of composers, it doesn't fall into a single category, but rather sucks in inspiration from all that which came before it
Beginning at 10:03, I almost forget to breath, because this passage is so mesmerizing: quiet, elegant , beautiful, so fragile ,introspective, almost tragic.
Absolutely! The 5th Piano Concerto ("Egyptian") is one of my favorite piano concertos, especially because of the Impressionism of the 2nd movement (which is ironic, given that Saint-Saëns was unfortunately a reactionary against the Impressionism of Debussy and Ravel)
@@christianvennemann9008Concerto no. 5 is one of the best I’ve ever heard. I had a religious experience with it and Cannabis not too long ago LMFAO and that pastoral feel at the end of the first movement…
This is so different from what I used to hear. It has this sort of fantasy/magical feeling in the 1st mvt. It feels a bit uneasy though because you're hearing the flow of the music so differently from what you are used to.
i totally agree...... it sounded somewhat different (and that is most obvious in the first movement).... do you think it is too slow? and as a result, the results do not gel like??
Like the first light of dawn, this music opens your eyes to new promises and to all the wonders of nature. Evocative of powers beyond observation, these pieces pull the strings of the heart, attract nostalgia and awaken the loves, the skinned lives and torpor of the sleeping watchmen .. Sokolov is magnificent here!
I wholeheartedly agree. Both the orchestra and the soloist are absolutely brilliant, and bring out all the expression needed in this concerto. I think the composer would’ve approved
Wow, having Sokolov play in this recording is a great treat in itself. I admire his execution of the 2nd movement which shows in certain areas some old fashioned, old school restraint instead of the typical "let's throw all cautions to the wind" bravura playing. I am definitely satisfied with this recording. Thank you for this, thank you for showing the score (my first time to actually see a copy of this concerto in "print"), and thank you for posting it.
Très belle œuvre jouée avec une technique remarquable, sensibilité sensibilité sans fadeur. Parfait contrôle des plans sonores. Tout y est . Remarquable en tout point .
Bonjour , que soit remerciée la personne qui a apprécié mon commentaire. Saint-Saens à juste titre joui depuis quelques années une reconnaissance légitime pour son œuvre capitale par ailleurs estimée de Franz Liszt . Pour des raisons illégitimes il était mal considéré à tort. Avec lui , c'est aussi bon nombres de compositeurs exceptionnels rejetés dans l'ombre et que de jeunes et très talentueux pianistes mettent aujourd'hui à l'honneur . Sans vouloir donner de leçons et très humblement exprimé, on sait qu'ils ont été victimes de la gloire de la lumière de compositeurs si connus. Merci à tous ces jeunes pianistes qui nous font découvrir des merveilles inconnues. Exception faite par principe des musicologue.. toutes mes excuses pour se long discours de Theramene. Encore merci.
What an awesome performance; Sokolov manages to make whatever he plays completely his own...and this has to be one of the most brilliantly orchestrated concertos in the entire repertoire...right up there with the Ravel concertos...
Music Man Sokolov was just 16 when he made this recording. At the same time he recorded the Tchaikovsky concerto. He had just won the first prize in the Tchaikovsky Competition 1966.
The first movement is beautiful beyond description. The introduction sounds like a Bach Prelude. The main theme sounds like Schumann, and the second theme in B flat sounds like Chopin. Then the octaves following sounds like Liszt. The cadenza again sounds like Schumann. Then the beautiful Bach like motive reappears again, and the end sounds like Schumann again. I also hear some Tchaikovsky at some points. I can really say l this is some of the most beautiful music I have heard in my life.
To me it sounds like Saint Saens. the fuck you need to recognize something else when its not there. Cant you just listen to the man and respect him for HIS work.
The G minor has always been known to be the one that "starts like Bach and ends like Offenbach". It's a prank of course and one Saint-Saens would appreciate since he had an amazing sense of humor. It s a brilliant piece of writing in its own right , very "fin de siecle".
maravilloso.un desafio para los mejores pianistas, el segundo movimiento tiene una melodia muy hermosa .me emociono cuando escucho esta obra de arte....
Essayez vous-mêmes de jouer ce concerto avant de dire qu'il serait facile! Il ne casse pas de porcelaine, mais il en fait de tellement belle. Comme pianiste, je lui ai adressé un grand Merci. J'espère qu'il m'a entendu Là-Haut.
I have had many executions with this concerto, I think this is really among the finest. The pianist really plays with force and expression, and the orchestra is very good.
I personally find 6.30 genius. How the early theme is moved from the piano to the orchestra and piano just being in perfect harmony playing those octaves. Gorgeus Music!
Saint-Saëns ... wow... what an amazing Piano Concerto you composed!! I never thought you have this kind of stunning ability to compose such a high quality piece of music.
@@christianvennemann9008 Yeah, idk if that's a woosh. A lot of people are genuinely confused how pianists play 9+ note chords, or when pedal tones are indicated.
All five of the Saint-Saens piano concerto are absolutely gorgeous, 2 + 4 being the most well known. I can't even begin to count how many recordings I own of this dating back to the Philippe Entremont when I was 12 or 13 years old 60 years ago. This one is also excellent.
Saint-saens is underrated. Stumped my theory teacher with the g minor bassoon sonata because he swore it wasnt a piece. Clicked in this video just because a lot of this composer's works are unknown. I knew i was in for a treat and it did not disappoint Edit: i actually have had the 3rd movement in my spotify playlist for years but I never knew the entire piece nor the composer because of how some of the 99 allegros work on spotify
Этот прекрасный концерт я бы назвала совмещение стилей: в начале баховский орган,тема бетховенского "Эгмонта",тема русских классиков либо Глинки, или Чайковского"Тема Ноктюрна", 2 часть - истинный Сен-Санс.. И наконец, 3 -часть можно смело сказать: сказочная часть, ночь с нечистью, ведьмы собираются, летят на шабаш либо Оберон с эльфами, где в конце явно звучит колокольный набат, когда вся нечисть со скоростью света старается исчезнуть до 5 утра, только не хватает крик петуха...Это Просто Супер!!! Надо же было услышать все эти звуки и воспроизвести в 3-х разных частях, абсолютно не похожих друг на друга..Недаром Сен - Санса привлекали мир загадочный, животный..
Маргарита Юрилова Я Глинку не слушал практически, не скажу, а вот от Чайковского он врядли что-то мог взять, на момент написания этого концерта Чайковский почти ничего еще сам не написал.
Маргарита Юрилова не знаю что такое чисто русский стиль, его при желании и у Бетховена можно найти, корни все равно уходят в Европу. А, ну еще и с Азии не мало, как ближнего востока, так и дальнего.
1:10 This is fucking dramatic. This is like something affecting multiple people for a longer time. Like for example the Great Depression of 1929. It affected everyone globally for a long time.
IIRC this exact part is used for a mod of a strategy game called Hearts of Iron 4 called The New Order for the event of the Japanese stock market crash,so it might fit the start of the Great Depression as well
I like to put my 'brain' into such music, a little. When the written music is provided along with the audio (vice the orchestra and conductor) I like to try to follow the written music along with what I hear, trying to integrate the two into one thing. A minority of the time, I succeed. That's better than nothing, and worth it, to me. It's really hard with Stravinsky's, Rite of Spring. I think it's about impossible with some of Scriabin's music, even for somebody with twice my brain. I believe Scriabin's notation often provided for interpretation or flexibility from what he put on paper, for the pianist to improvise. I think he improvised, too, when he played his own music. So, whoever plays it, what you see on paper ain't always what you hear. I guess the notation allowing that is there, on paper, but I can't begin to know how to tell. But it's fun trying and sometimes I succeed! Then, sometimes, I just drop my brain, such as it is, and just listen only, or just hear only, and ride along. But I think following the writing as I listen is good mental exercise, like running for the body, and promotes alertness and probably improves both. It's better than crossword puzzles or jigsaw puzzles, maybe even better than chess.
This beatiful work have drama, passion, lyricism, humor, magic and fantasy... who cares the low grade of originality and virtuosity? Is a marvelous piano concerto!
Interesting. I used to listen to this piece often and loved it, but I happened to have read some comments before listening to this particular performance. For those who were critical, I suggest listening to a different interpretation, one that is perhaps more romantic and tender. It is actually a beautiful concerto.
Pardon me, but how in the HELL does one get the piano's action to repeat fast enough to manage the fast-repeated "doubled" intervals (with one hand quickly following the other hand, one overlaying the other), for example the descending intervals mirrored in both hands (thirds, fifths, seconds) at 6:43???
Mr. Sokolov is one hell of a pianist
Ok, Saint-Saëns REALLY loved rapid arpeggios and rapid octaves.
The haters have to deal with the fact that Ravel liked this concerto. When asked which piece he recommended for studying orchestration, Ravel indicated this.

The opening sounds like if Bach was a romantic composer.
I thought the same thing. But then he switches to sounding like Rachmaninoff.
PointyTailofSatan yes, or Liszt since I think he was the source of inspiration at that period
a derogatory critique at the time described the concerto "starts like Bach and finishes like Offenbach". True, and that's what makes it so much fun.
HOW FUNNY! I thought EXACTLY the same thing as I was taking a shower listening to this.....“Wow! Sounds like Bach being romantic!”
Have you heard Bach's 6th Keyboard Partita? It's pretty similar...ish.
Like, what, that coda is one of the best and hardest codas out there. It's incredibly beautiful
1st movement coda or 3rd movement?
@@DemirSezer for me the third, but first is also good
@@jorgefraile218 I agree that the coda of the 3rd is the best
from 23:57 and so forth
hardest? Really? I can name at least 30 concertos with a harder coda from the top of my head. This one is for sure one of the best though:D
This concerto is hidden gem of the piano concerto repertoire, its a shame it dosent get done more often.
I agree!
Yes , I agree also !
This concerto is a not hidden at all gem. It's one of the most often performed and recorded work in all piano concerto repertoire.
So true!
@@JoelLeBras But anymore.
My favourite thing about this concerto is the fact it's so clearly influenced by such a range of composers, it doesn't fall into a single category, but rather sucks in inspiration from all that which came before it
Beginning at 10:03, I almost forget to breath, because this passage is so mesmerizing: quiet, elegant , beautiful, so fragile ,introspective, almost tragic.
The third movement is a masterpiece
I. Andante sostenuto: 0:00
II. Allegro scherzando: 11:44
III. Presto: 17:43
Those who think this is Saint-Saens' only "accessible" piano concerto should check out the other four--seriously. They are all gems in their own way.
Absolutely! The 5th Piano Concerto ("Egyptian") is one of my favorite piano concertos, especially because of the Impressionism of the 2nd movement (which is ironic, given that Saint-Saëns was unfortunately a reactionary against the Impressionism of Debussy and Ravel)
Couldn't agree more!

It kinda reminded me of being in Narnia [read the series if you haven’t, it’s great]
This is such a magnificent piece, that last movement is mesmerising! What a talented chap he was.
11:38 that black screen is so powerful
I find the first movement extremely cathartic and satisfying to listen to.
This composer, I discovered at my 74,is an amazing man,see his real history. Not to mention performances.
I was about to sleep but then I literally fell in love with the first movement and now i just wanted to listen to this again amd again.
I love how to screen dims with the final chords, I'm gonna watch the entire thing again just for that
You should do film school.
I like Grigory Sokolov plays Saint-Saëns - Piano Concerto2 so much!Because he is the most passionate! Some pianists are very fine, but not enough.
Then listen Rubinstein!
and Alexander Malofeev!

To me, its an awesome piece which inspires nostalgia where vices and virtues clashed in all of our lives.. So sad...
I wholeheartedly agree. Both the orchestra and the soloist are absolutely brilliant, and bring out all the expression needed in this concerto. I think the composer would’ve approved

Quick repetition is possible (ask Liszt), but in this case the hands aren't really overlaying, they're in different octaves
