I remember sitting in the chair by our piano, at age 3, and my mother playing this. I would have tears streaming down my face at the power and beauty of her playing. This has always touched my heart. I am now 76, and it still has the same affect on me.
Do you notice anything wrong with this version? To my ear, there are too many times that the initial chords repeat. I also remember it from my childhood. I see that some other performers play it with fewer repetitions. Why is that?
Dieses Konzert war auf der B-Seite der Schallplatte mit Rhapsodie in Blue... und ich war sofort verliebt in dieses wunderbare Klavierstück. Ich kaufe die Schallplatte vor vielleicht 50 Jahren und ich liebe sie noch heute...
I am also 76 and understand your tears when remembering your mother playing for you at âge of 3 this music of such a beauty . As Stings says in his song Fragile, "its like tears from a star ..."
I can never listen to this piece enough. It evokes such sadness. Why do I want to be sad? This was written for a movie during World War II. We must never forget. There is something so moving that Addinsell captures. If it doesn’t render the listener emotionally pained….. yet there’s still hope by the end. Short but unconditionally brilliant. Bravo!!!!
Richard Addinsel...composed this for eternity. Laszlo Kovacs does a magnificent rendition. Not easy to play and direct the orchestra simultaneously. Sublime...
SADLY, THE SNOBS DOWNGRADED IT ,BECAUSE IT WAS ''FILM MUSIC'' AND ACCUSED RICHARD ADDINSELL OF COPYING RACHMANINOFF. ALL ARTISTS ARE INFLUENCED BY ALL, THE ARTS.
A tear always comes to my eye when I think how the Polish suffered during WW2. I know this was a fictional movie but my simple mind always makes the connection. My wife's grandfather died in the Battle of Leningrad, and she also loves this piece.
The Warsaw Concerto was written for the 1941 film Dangerous Moonlight, and continues to be a popular concert and recording piece. The film-makers wanted something in the style of Sergei Rachmaninoff, but were unable to persuade Rachmaninoff himself to write a piece. Roy Douglas orchestrated the concerto. It has been recorded over one hundred times and has sold in excess of three million copies.
I am compiled to comment that it's beauty abounds and is captivating and would immediately convert a soul to love great classical music to be hooked thence forth!
Brilliant concerto, magnificent orchestration and piano part! And amazing performance! Unfortunately I can’t find the score nowhere...The same problem was with the score of Henryk Wars concerto. Finally, a Polish publisher agreed to print a copy of the manuscript and sell it to me. These authors deserve more popularity, really.
Hoy tengo 74 años, madre que en paz descanse, escuchaba por la radio ese Concierto tan maravilloso y yo que era una niña muy tremenda....cuando lo escuchaba me quedaba tranquila y lo escuchaba completo. Ya años después lo escuché de nuevo y la!sensación que me transmite es muy especial, una mezcla de sentimientos que al final me dan tranquilidad.
After hearing countless performances of this beautiful concerto, I keep going back and listening to Laszlo Kovacs' rendition as I found it to have the truest and most consistent tempo and as such evokes the most emotion. Though it is not perfect, it certainly is beautiful.
I have to disagree with those who say the tempo of the piano was too slow. It was actually perfect. When it's at this tempo, it evokes the most feeling in me.
This was my fathers favourite piece of music by far. When I was a kid we had an old upright piano and dad could knock out the first thirty seconds of it. Not bad for a self taught orphan boy who was booted out of the orphanage at the age of 12 and sent to Canada at the age of 13. He referred to classical music as good music.
+Doug Fever fathers such as yours would be a hard to find item in the current world. we were lucky to have part of the greatest generation be our fathers.
God bless the soul. Of your late father and his father and mine too, those representatives of great generation, never back again in our life, best greetings from Egypt
Beautiful Fantastic Fabulous presentation of the Warsaw Concerto by Laszlo Kovacs & the Hungarian Symphony Orchestra, this is a very moving piece & conducting also playing the work from the piano is a marvelous achievement its very dramatic obviously so,, as set to the film Dangerous Moonlight a wartime classic ,, I love playing this piece myself as a solo work without the orchestra its really worth learning to play, & I have never regretted it My Mum & Dad were so right guiding me to really appreciate wonderful music like the Concerto that is presented, I have played in the UK also France, Germany, Norway,Switzerland, Cyprus also at the Tchaikovsky Conservatoire in Simferopol Crimea its hard work to learn, but once you can play the hours of practice have all have been worth while, I have had many comments from people who have said .".I wish I had not given my piano lessons up" Im really glad that I did continue with mine " Im sure you will love the piano concerto Martin Briddon Classical Pianist Chesterfield Derbyshire UK 29/01/20
Es gibt keine passenden Worte um die Schönheit dieses Konzertstücks zu beschreiben! 😚 Ich kann nur die Augen schliessen, in mich versinken, das alte Polen mit Warschau vor meinen Augen auferstehen lassen und staunen. ❤
This is the way (tempo) I played it both as a soloist and with an orchestra -- they are both fabulous! This is by far my favorite of the renditions I've heard on TH-cam so far. THANK YOU for posting, I will return to this site often to bring back some great (very old) memories! That run starting at 4:10 is the most memorable for me but not my favorite, I think I like the theme starting at 4:42 and repeated at 5:33 is the most soulful. And the video is exceptional, showing the pianist and the orchestra -- fabulous! I was fortunate to be able to own a Steinway, which I wanted for about 30 years before I had it -- there is nothing like a Steinway. I think I heard a slight error at 5:21, maybe it was just an added note in there by the pianist. This piece gives me goose-bumps.
Essa maravilhosa obra clássica do ADDINSEL, está mais emocionante ao som dessa brilhante orquestra hungara e a poderosa a magnifica interpretação do pianista LASZLO KOVACS. Bravos.
I heard this song during a scene in a movie where Germans were using machinery to pile naked people on top of each other and then push the pile into a pit. It was the saddest thing I had ever seen, how people could treat people like garbage...I was about 14 years old. I have never forgotten that haunting music. To survive that horror (as a people) might give ascent to the uplifting sections of the music.
I love this Concerto, I first heard the score as a child when watching the film with my Father (RIP dad, I miss you so much) and it’s been a lasting memory since. Such a haunting melody and wonderful modern classical piece. It still brings a tear to my eye some 55 years later.
I don't think there is anything comparable to hearing this favorite number on a Steinway & Sons piano unless it is playing it yourself on one, which I have done many times, but somehow, listening to this floods my soul even more than playing it, I guess because I can devote my whole being to it whereas when I play it, I watch what I am doing carefully. This I can lean back and close my eyes and just let it overwhelm me. I can't describe it, but it brings tears! The orchestra is magnificent in this presentation also!
I always hear this bad-mouthed by serious critics and on the WWW as well. It was used in the movie Dangerous Moonlight (meaning that paratroopers are safer when there is no moonlight to make them visible to the enemy (The Nazis). Sometimes I can't get this piece out of my head and also, it is a very popular piece with other normal people. They wanted Rachmaninoff to do the music but he declined. To me this is a wonderful piece with great melodies and fantastic arpeggiated harmonies. It has stood the test of time. I first heard it in 1966 and I love it as much now as I did then!
John: "They" did not get to ask Rachmaninoff. No one dared! If they had, Rachmaninoff would perhaps have declined, but politely and graciously. He was a complete gentleman.
I never meant to disparage Rachmaninoff in any way. But I will stick to my statement about his declining an offer to compose for "Dangerous Moonlight" and will quote my source as Wikipedia below. I would respectfully ask that you give your sources as well. Please see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Addinsell
John Rock. You have in no way disparaged Rachmaninoff. The story of this concerto predates by far Wikipedia, and my comment was based on my knowledge of the origin of the piece from way back then (the '50s?). The film director wanted to use themes from Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 2 (or the whole concerto). However, the copyright holders of the concerto would not give their consent. I don't believe Rachmaninoff himself was asked. Addinsell was a composer of film music and he also was an accomplished musician. He wrote his Warsaw Concerto while having around him scores of Rachmaninoff piano concerti and also the Rhapsody. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Concerto Thank you for your comments.
Aaaah what visions this piece evokes, and what a beautiful rendition, a nice tempo and a good interpretation of the classic, my eyes have already started to fill with tears. No not sad ones.
Esta melodía siempre que la escucho me arranca el corazón, el final es magnifico y la interpretación magnífica , además la grabación es muy buena, un agrado escucharla una y otra vez
Excellent tempo. Most recordings are too fast, but then most pianists have a bad habit of rushing sixteenth notes! I don't recall who said it, but I heard that film music is classical music for the masses. That might be trite, but whether it is Richard Addinsell, Max Steiner, Bernard Herrmann, Elmer Bernstein, Franz Waxman, or even John Williams, they are all remarkable composers.
This is the best version of Warsaw concierto Ive listened to In point of piano dominance in the dramatic points of the piece and the piano is never over powered by the other musical instruments and that's because the pianist is also the conductor And properly favored his piano over the other instruments!
I have to agree. I have heard many, many versions, from the time I was a pre-teen when my mother first introduced me to this beautiful work of art to now, at 66 years of age. It is absolutely my favorite piece of classical music and kept me on the path of studying piano, including being taught by a graduate of Juliard. I could never play this like the masters but sure enjoyed this flawless rendition.
Movie ... opera ... it's one of the best orchestral pieces written in the last 200 years. I tear up every time, and I was born 25 years after it's context.
Maravilhoso ouço sempre e choro ,a emoção é grande ,minha mãe era pianista e desde pequena ouvia ela tocar. ,Este concerto é o meu preferido ele está dentro do meu ❤coração!!!
Bravo Marvelous performance maestro - This piece of music have been in my brain since I was 7 or so, now I am 67 and produces the same effect in my emotions
Brillante la selección de música que disfruto con vosotros. Canciones de mi juventud, que hacía años que no escuchaba. En la actualidad,óperas, orquestas, cantantes,conciertos !!mis preferidas!! En ocasiones me cuesta dejaros. Bravo!!!
Ten utwór zawsze będzie w mojej pamięci.Odbywałem służbę wojskową w Warszawie w Centralnym Zespole Artystycznym.Z powyższym utworem jeżdziliśmy po całej Polsce gdzie Koncert Warszawski był grany na początku występu zespołu.Jak dzisiaj słyszę akordy fortepianu tego koncertu,to mi ciarki przechodzą.Jestem zawsze wzruszony tak samo jak w tedy gdy służyłem w wojsku i śpiewałem w chórze Zespołu artystycznego.Muzyka to potęga
Música bellísima, inspirada por el propio Dios de los cielos. No queda más que maravillarse y disfrutarla. Excelente ejecución de éste gran concertista de piano; merece un gran aplauso y una felicitación, lo mismo que toda la orquesta.
What memories this brings back, my sister played this piece back in 1948, , it is still a masterful piece of music, this Musician and Orchestra certainly did it justice, THANKYOU 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
How beautiful is this work of music! The melodies are majestic and sublime, melancholic & pathetic. For me, this is one of the most beautiful and ethereal works ever made.
. . . and as Gustav Mahler did, as well. Mahler played piano and conducted the New York Phil (in a Bach composition), while the orchestra was on tour to a number of American cities on the Eastern seaboard in 1910.
De entre tantas versiones de ésta "Magnánima Obra" ésta interpretacion del pianista Laszlo Kovacs es por mucho la Mejor, y con el acompañamiento de esa extraordinaria orquesta hacen de ésta obra la más favorita de todas.
7/3/2019 USA Grandpa Bill: This calls my heart through aching grasping wanting then soft tears yearning sighing in the night to unite love as spirits joining and intertwining in effervescent moonlight then rising and falling wisping and winding through the dramatic breaths of a joyous triumphant union. Laszlo Kovaks Hungarian Symphony Orchestra presents the finest, clearest, most vigorous and dynamic orchestration and piano of any presented through TH-cam. I listen to this on repeat until I am saturated.
There is indeed a vibrant melancholy about this musical piece, its dreamy notes recall lost childhood memories, unrequited love and an unsatisfied longong for what should been.
This music came from the movie 'Dangerous Moonlight' and was a favourite of my mother's who lived through the sorrow of World War 2. Her fiance who played this was killed when his bomber crashed in 1941!"Man's inhumanity to man, makes millions mourn
Eu ouço sempre esta maravilhosa interpretação, magnífica que me levam as lágrimas, recordações, lembranças VIVAS que estão dentro do meu ❤ coração. A parte final é muito forte e imagino o sofrimento de um povo tão sofrido que foi tão corajoso ,que fique como exemplo para as gerações futuras.
A beautiful and moving, piece of music, beautifully done. When I was little we had a collection of classical records so I knew this piece before I ever saw the movie. You rarely here music like this anymore and it is a terrible shame!
A number of Great composers... have spent time in Hollywood.... working in the film industry. Personally, I like working for my SElf. If you know what I mean? This was a great performance. Wow. I started working on this piece back in the late 50's. I LOVE this piece. !!! Straight to the Heart.
I remember sitting in the chair by our piano, at age 3, and my mother playing this. I would have tears streaming down my face at the power and beauty of her playing. This has always touched my heart. I am now 76, and it still has the same affect on me.

One of the best performances of Warsaw Concerto!👍👍🌹
This is the one I remember as a child. Fantastic
Of all the versions I have listened to, this is the most beautiful and dramatic.
Why we love this ineffable music so much? It is simply so beautiful…I am speechless, lost for words.
Linda música, que conheci quando era adolescente! Agora com 91 anos, não me canso de ouví-la!
O mesmo acontece comigo agora com 89 anos ❤️🙏🙏
O MESMO ACONTECEU COM MIGO 78 ANOS.
o mesmo comigo com 65 anos. Esta música nunca envelhece
Cuando era niña la escuchaba todos los días. Hoy tengo 62 años.
Eu também !
Wonderful. I've listened to this piece many times, and it grows in stature each time.
Who hurted you?
Such a genius tribute to another genius composer! Brilliant music, can't get enough of listening to it!
Another great performance...God bless these talented gifted people.
I have to disagree with those who say the tempo of the piano was too slow. It was actually perfect. When it's at this tempo, it evokes the most feeling in me.
Have you heard Olga's rendition? I like hers much better, and no orchestra is needed with he'd rendition.
Her...not..he'd
Reminds me of my dear Mum.
We had this on a 12" 78rpm & I remember her playing it on our record player when I was a kid in the 50s.
Our family was in the piano and organ business and I can tell from the richness of the piano sounds...perfectly tuned.
This was my fathers favourite piece of music by far. When I was a kid we had an old upright piano and dad could knock out the first thirty seconds of it. Not bad for a self taught orphan boy who was booted out of the orphanage at the age of 12 and sent to Canada at the age of 13. He referred to classical music as good music.

Excellent tempo. Most recordings are too fast, but then most pianists have a bad habit of rushing sixteenth notes! I don't recall who said it, but I heard that film music is classical music for the masses. That might be trite, but whether it is Richard Addinsell, Max Steiner, Bernard Herrmann, Elmer Bernstein, Franz Waxman, or even John Williams, they are all remarkable composers.
Todos os dias eu não consigo ficar sem ouvir este concerto tocado por este pianista Extraordinario e também maestro .
This is the best version of Warsaw concierto Ive listened to
In point of piano dominance in the dramatic points of the
piece and the piano is never over powered by the other musical instruments and that's because the pianist is also the conductor
And properly favored his piano over the other instruments!
I have to agree. I have heard many, many versions, from the time I was a pre-teen when my mother first introduced me to this beautiful work of art to now, at 66 years of age. It is absolutely my favorite piece of classical music and kept me on the path of studying piano, including being taught by a graduate of Juliard.

First piece I performed in public. Love this. I am grateful to have been a part of this.
Awesome. The best performance I've ever heard of this fabulous piece. The orchestra was the perfect match for Mr. Kovacs' solo.
How beautiful is this work of music! The melodies are majestic and sublime, melancholic & pathetic. For me, this is one of the most beautiful and ethereal works ever made.
100% agree with your final statement
Brilliant. He conducts 'from the piano', as Mozart did. This music hits me (& thanks!!) deep, deep in my soul.
. . . and as Gustav Mahler did, as well. Mahler played piano and conducted the New York Phil (in a Bach composition), while the orchestra was on tour to a number of American cities on the Eastern seaboard in 1910.

So beautiful, I love this. Just ordered it, you are wonderful
Sublime!!!
There is indeed a vibrant melancholy about this musical piece, its dreamy notes recall lost childhood memories, unrequited love and an unsatisfied longong for what should been.
Anh hát bằng cả trái tim bảo sao mà cứ ngọt lịm như vậy. Bài nào cũng cảm xúc luôn
Magical ❤ loved this performance more than others. Soul stirring
This music came from the movie 'Dangerous Moonlight' and was a favourite of my mother's who lived through the sorrow of World War 2. Her fiance who played this was killed when his bomber crashed in 1941!"Man's inhumanity to man, makes millions mourn
Faz um ano que eu comentei e continuo com a mesma opinião.Maravilhoso.O melhor pianista do mundo 👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏💚
Es maravilloso, siempre me conmueve. Gracias por este regalo.
Eu ouço sempre esta maravilhosa interpretação, magnífica que me levam as lágrimas, recordações, lembranças VIVAS que estão dentro do meu ❤ coração. A parte final é muito forte e imagino o sofrimento de um povo tão sofrido que foi tão corajoso ,que fique como exemplo para as gerações futuras.
A beautiful and moving, piece of music, beautifully done. When I was little we had a collection of classical records so I knew this piece before I ever saw the movie. You rarely here music like this anymore and it is a terrible shame!
Quel romantisme! Quel talent! Magnifique interprétation !
Qué hermoso!!! Lo llevo en mi corazón desde pequeña ❤💕❤
A number of Great composers... have spent time in Hollywood.... working in the film industry. Personally, I like working for my SElf. If you know what I mean? This was a great performance. Wow. I started working on this piece back in the late 50's. I LOVE this piece. !!! Straight to the Heart.
MASTERPIECE! Thank you!
Very beautiful melody...!!!
This is the best I have heard so far in term of sound quality and interpretation.
Beautiful. This was one of my recital pieces when I was young. Too bad there were no videos back in 1950s.
Recuerdos eternos de mi juventud!!! Año 1955 cuando obtuve mi titulo de profesora de piano!!!!!!!
Not even photos in that moment
Maravilloso Concierto. !!
