Just apart from the great plesure of having the Cleve concerti available, what a treat to hear the largely forgotten pianist Pater Thoralf Norheim playing with brilliance and authority! He is now mostly remembered as a critic, and a very kind and benevolent one!
You are an absolute genius at finding works missing from my collection and uploading them!! Congratulations yet again. I am beginning to think that you can read my mind!! Good-quality sound, too. Cleve's piano concertos have until recently been maddeningly elusive. Still missing from the web is his third, I believe. Dare we hope...? Ted Wilks
Fantastic! My [long] weekend is now perfect. Today is a public holiday - Memorial Day. This uniquely American tradition is a day for remembrance of the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. The English equivalent is Remembrance Day [also Canada, Australia, etc.] and it's celebrated on November 11. Ted
+ruramikael There are other weird differences, it seems. Odd. Still, this is what you get with these tapes that sometimes have circulated in collectors' circles for decades before the advent of the digital ages: missing movements, misappropriations, misidentifications, etcetera.
Thrilled to find recordings of these Cleve concertos while searching for music by composers born in my hometown, Kongsberg (Norway). Thanks a lot! Do know the source of the recording? Could it be a recorded radio broadcast - of si - from where and when?? Again - a big thank you!
An almost comically obvious nod at Grieg about two-and-a-half minutes in! But Cleve knew what to do with an orchestra as well as a piano, unlike so many wannabe concerto composers lurking on TH-cam. So many of them have a fatal lack of even short-term direction, but Cleve's are all a cut above.
Agreed. Sometimes you feel as though EVERY 19th-century citizen wrote their own piano concerto, and the results show vast differences in quality. Still, there's an awful lot of good stuff still to be explored, it seems.
Glad you like it, and yes, the Third's up next. My criterium is not to double up on works already on TH-cam, and Nos. 2, 4 and 5 are available.
excellent concerto pour piano belle finesse d'interpretation tres grande conposition de tout c'est concertos d'alfdan cleve aussi bien le 1 2 3 '4 5
A new discovery for me. It is hard keeping up with these even with the ability to organize them in files on TH-cam.
That's Cleve's best concerto up to me.

The Finale is missing, look at the two-piano score at IMSLP!
