He accompanied a few singers but other than that and this record, he didnt play piano in public at all. Does anyone know why?perhaps he was too busy, but I know he continued to practice piano daily. He could have made a great set of the late Mozart concerti! I can almost hear them.
Sensational last movement tempo. He just rips off the Mannheim rocket. I think this is faster than any recording I have ever heard. Reinecke cadenza interesting, tho not spectacular. Performance would have benefitted from a conductor. But considering he was offering some distinctive playing not having appeared in public during his life a tribute to his love of the piano. Thanks, The Piano Experience for this delightful post.
2nd movement is magical. The phrasing , the dynamics. Someone PLEASE clean up the sound! My only objection would be the cadenza. Walter's own I assume. Just doesn't fit.
The cadenza is actually by the prolific composer Carl Reinecke (1824-1910) who is best remembered for written 80(!) cadenzas for concerti by Mozart, Beethoven and Carl Maria von Weber. Reinecke was a pupil of both Mendelssohn and Schumann, and also received much praise from Liszt.
A virtuoso pianist for sure. Pretty stunning for someone who probably did not practice every day.
I did not know he was a pianist.
A wonderful recording!
지휘자로서 음악적으로 인격적으로 훌륭한 'Bruno Walter'가 이렇게 훌륭한 피아니스트인줄 몰랐습니다. 조금 빠른듯하지만 그의 노래하는것 같은 리듬감이 좋습니다
Carl Reinecke’s cadenza 9:32
Impressive!
Such dynamics ! Wish there were m0re. Love how Walter, in his excitement is often just about to pass the orchestra. Rather fast!
