This concerto has a special place in my and not for its technical virtues. I uses way too many sequences and just sheer repitition and not enough through composed music. But for all its weaknesses it is charming and engaging. The force of his personality shines through. Here we see intangibles making the piece.
@@flyingpenandpaper6119 Try some from Schwarwenka, Thalberg, Moszkowski, MacDowell, Kalkbrenner and Wiklund. I'd say some of their concertos are masterpieces.
@@thomask.2726 I like these concertos as well but these aren't the best ever written. This title probably goes to Rachmaninoff and maybe Beethoven. But you named great underrated concertos.
Основной темой данного концерта является протяжная рекрутская хоровая песня "Собирайтесь-ка, братцы-ребятушки", взятая Римским-Корсаковым из сборника русских народных песен Балакирева.
I like the op[ening 2 minutes or so but then it becomes a bit too referential to the Listz Piano concertos - just with some more novel orchestration. Some of the comments are overly harsh. I think this deserves to be heard - maybe not a ton but I am unsure about it being kept on the shelf. I find it informative as how difficult it was for composers to write a piano concerto under the shadow of Listz and Brahms.
Amazing ideas but suffers from a rather unconvincing piano writing and a weird dynamic between the orchestra and the soloist. Most of the time, the piano feels more like a textural background for the orchestra
Very wayward and rather boring a performance from the great and only Richter; one gets the impression that Richter was having an off-day and didn't care for any bravura passages, upon which this Concerto makes its forte...Usually Richter surpasses other renditions but his text-book "Brendel" approach may only appeal to those wanting Mozartian perfection.
It's the first time I hear this piece, and I have to say it's a bit disappointing. The whole movement is based on a single motif, repeated over and over again ad nauseam. And the piano part is 98% arpeggios and runs, with hardly any melodic content - a terrible part, as a matter of fact. Dislike.
One of my favorite piano concertos. Thank you.
Love his music, Sheherazade, flight of the bumble bee. This concerto is also very beautiful.
What an amazing piece, can't believe that I have never heard this masterpiece before!

Music is an extention and explanation of the self. Why should it be detailed every time? Do you speqk with the same force of detail with people?
How could I've just discovered this masterpiece?!
Very rarely performed unfortunately
Easily the best piano concert I've heard. Rimsky-Korsakov had very progressive orchestration for his time.
Wow - you must be deprived of piano concerti then... this is very enjoyable but by no means the greatest ever written.
@@vaclavmiller8032 Mind giving any recommendations? I am trying to listen to more piano concertos.

Thomas K. Don't forget Medtner!

Just GORGEOUS. Thank you.
Thank you for uploading this. This obscure piece is very hard to find.
Thanks for uploading!

I prefer the Zhukov's performing but this one stays really cool !

amazing!
@NecroSexy Amazing. I can't even learn preludes in one day X D
I can't learn anything this well in one month.
This is a cradle of Russian spirit , and a lullaby of Russian mind
Loove that grand..
4:50 Sounds gorgeous :)
mindblowing
it does :)
looks like Rach lifted the opening theme from this concerto for the opening theme of his 3rd
Russian folk songs?
And rimsky lifted it from the paganini caprice you know the famous one
...and Chopin!
Isn't this played by Zhukov, instead of Richter?
No, is not Zhukov.
it has an asian feel to it :P
and beethoven's emperor! And Tchaikovsky's 1st!!!
Has insane potential, not done well, but it’s still pretty
Жаль,что концерт исполняется очень редко,хоть написан в России на русские темы Гармония и мелодика на самом высоком уровне
Благодарна своему педагогу, что сейчас учим его. Муз училище им Шаталова.
And Rachmaninov!
Perhaps we could compare this to the recording of Ponti; Ponti has an abundance of energy yet this version seems to lack vitality...
PONTificate away!
Ponti is great in this concerto and so many others, I agree !

You obviously know nothing about Richter's performance.best for you to post comments on the weather forecast.This will suit you better.
what boring music thank God this concerto in on the shelf!
