I cannot understand why this concerto is not more popular. It's wonderful.
Because Rach 2 and Rach 3 are even more wonderful. That is why.
@@staffanolofsson8201 True
@@staffanolofsson8201 rach 3 is ok. But rach 2 omfg!!!!😍😍😍😍 Rach 2 is the best piano concerto ever made. ( Okay piano concerto no. 3 Prokofiev is right under there )
@@sergei-prokofiev Just give Rach 3 a few more listens. I think it took me like 15 to 20 listens to begin to understand it. To me it's the exact opposite of Rach 2 which have clearly defined main themes, but as you get to know it more and more, in its own way it's just as great. Rach 2 can't compete with the Ossia Cadenza and with the 3rd movement imo. They're both great but in different ways.
@@TheAskald Agreed. It took me at least 10-15 listens to really start liking Rach 3. 2nd piano concerto I liked immediately. Funny how different they are.
This is a thousand times better than my psychiatric medication 💊🥰
YAAASSSSS
Hahahahah
the irony...
Listening to Rachmaninov makes you think about how the world could be, how the world should be and how the world is not..
Couldn,t agree with you more! Especially here in the U>S> where most young people wouldn,t give 5 minutes of their time to listen to this great composition let alone any classical music! It,s missing from the equation and so is everything else that is and was good, go figure!!!!!
how...
@@joshuacheung1066 How what? If you live in the United States or in horrible Philadelphia pa where I live you'd understand what I'm saying!!!!!
@@scottmiller6495 thats a great statement my sad friend
Gabriele Amore, so true! He painted beautiful musical compositions, and even parts that are bittersweet are beautiful.
I was at this concert. Absolutely breathtaking. Also got to meet Anna at the end of it. An all-round humble and kind person. My favorite pianist!
Most envious of your luck! Congrats! She is also my favorite pianist - by far. Where did the concert take place?
Lucky you, I visited once a concert with her in Rach 2e pianoconcert in Amsterdam, a few years ago, it was so good, I love her hearing playing, I love Rachmaninoff very much, when I was a boy of 16 years old I heard Rachmaninoff 2e pianoconcert and I fell in love with classical music, now I am 56 years old and I love it so much.
Anna Fedorova: To know her is to love her!
Sensational. A blazing account. Good for you!
Lucky you! I am waiting so badly to hear/see her on a concert in Germany.
Hearing Rachmaninoff is a musical eargasm
And seeing Anna is an eye-gasm.
Especially the cadenza oh my heavens
Naah i don't want to see curd coming out of ears :D
19:05 - 21:20, Rachmaninoff has devised one of the most beautiful harmonizations in recorded music IMO. Stunning. He said ideas flew in and out of his head in 15 minute fits of creativity. This section has to reflect the most important 15 minutes of his life.
really is great, especially at this point
Absolutely agree. This part is absolutely transcendent. For me, the best part of the whole concert.
20:47 when the horn comes in is the most beautiful part
Thanks! Was looking for a time stamp to that movement
🍃☀️🌍🙏💗🌿 Yes !
To think that Rachmaninoff composed this masterpiece when he was only between 17-18!!?? Insane!
Rachmaninoff revise this when he was in in his forties. The first version is less masterful and not as mature as this. But still the melody is splendid. I heard Rachmaninoff said he love the first concerto the most in his old age.
A c t u a l l y..a bit yes...h o w e v e r what we hear here is the superior revised version which could be numbered nr.3: he learned to write a far lighter and friendlier orchestra part. One is often drowned out in the 2nd I f one has a less gifted conductor.......having experienced that displeasure a bit more than 40 years ago. Rather sagging tension less performance here of the scintillating revised 1st....hear Byron Janis, Earl Wild, Yuja Wang or the composer himself with the great Philadelphia Orchestra
1. Vivace 0:03
2. Andante 14:20
3. Allegro vivace 21:40
You are a hero!
Anna Fedorova plays Rachmaninoff so beautifully.
3:15 this is my first time listening to this concerto and I already cried in this beautiful part
prodige absolut, elle n'est pas de notre monde, elle vient d'ailleurs. De plus d'une grande beauté et très gracieuse. Une illumination. On peut mourrir après.
Finally, I have them all!
Still the 4th concerto to go, but in September we'll have them all! :)
What about the fourth?
@@nss21heath better be September 2020.
I have listened to R’s fourth and just don’t have the ear for it as I do for 1-3. Sorry guess it’s just my lack of musical critique but it sounds routine, random and soulless to me. Its tunes are not as natural and sound forced and more akin to those of Shostakovich, which to me are noisy and unpredictable. Perhaps Anna will convince me otherwise. Still looking forward to it though, as she is our era’s supreme interpreter of R for sure. Meanwhile we must get our symphonies back in the halls here soon; the sudden and early end of last season was a huge disappointment and much more impactful than the delay to the baseball and hockey schedules. Please may the Wuhan fly end soon!
Same!!!!
Anna Fedrova I am sorry I didn’t know you up to now. How much I have lost! You are one of the best piano player existing. How wonderfully you play. Thank you for being able to give us so much joy. You are absolutely gorgeous.
Iraj, check out Anna Fedorova playing Rachmaninoff piano concertos 2/3/4. Concerto 2 had 57 million viewers!
生徒たちにも本物を聴くように良いものを選ぶよう指導してきました。視聴の時間割りの時には作曲家の、人生のお話で終わった事もありましたが、後悔は無く後進が音楽教諭となり私のあとを引き継いでくれていることが幸運の極みです
That second movement is just incredible. I think it's one of Rachmaninoff's most underrated pieces - not played very often unfortunately. They all want to hear No.2 and 3...
Agreed. I am by no means a connoisseur of Rachmaninoff, but I love No. 1. This piece served as the musical theme for one of the most watched TV show in France between 1975 and 1990, "Apostrophes". Only a short except was played but I was immediately impressed by the power and complexity of the piano part. I listened to the full piece only much later. Hopefully one day I can enjoy it at a live concert.
T’entends Bernard ?
I agree. Second movement is one of my very favorite pieces of music, regardless of genre.
This one is just as amazing as three and a billion times better than two.
@Elia Schmidt I agree! I love Rach 1. very underrated piece unfortunately
Wow! Sergei Rachmaninoff's first opus at the age of 18. What a beautiful piece of music! Pure genius.
I believe Mr. Rachmaninoff would have been proud of Anna and the orchestra. One can only ponder.....
I am a 61 year old who retook piano lessons just in the past year. When I was a child, I had to give them up because of family moves and situations. So even though I'm at an advanced beginner level, and probably too old to ever become a virtuoso, Anna inspires and amazes me.
Ms. Stark family can easily make or break a child as mine almost did. Glad you pulled out of your toxic past; good for you, Michelle but don't doubt yourself at becoming a virtuoso. Look a how the elderly Grandma Moses shook the visual art world. Keep on keeping on and you will achieve your dream; GOD bless and keep going.
The piano teacher told my mother that I was blowing into it.
@@catholiccrusader5328
fred, she said "situations" not 'toxic'. I too have had similar moves and 'situations' with loving parents and great schooling, friends, but other things (crazy busy business survival things to do etc.) prevented piano continuation, NO toxic whatsoever !
As long as you get enjoyment out of playing, that's all that really matters.
@@loftsatsympaticodotc I was wondering where he got the 'toxic' too.
What an absolute masterpiece.
And what an absolute masterful interpretation.
Rach it's like music drug.
Lol yeah😂😂
0:03 dramatic horn call and piano arpeggios
0:40 wistful theme
1:50 arpeggios and development
3:29
4:16 blast theme
6:28 wistful theme by horns
8:06 wistful theme reprise
10:45 blast theme
13:22 wistful theme agressively
I'm a grown man of 74 years but the closing section of the second movement reduces me to tears every time. It's absolutely beautiful. I'm totally baffled as to why this concerto is so neglected. The radio station I listen to plays No.2 almost every day, but No.1? Never. I just don't get it.
I hear you my guy. And I get it, we all start out with Rach 2 and it’s a true masterpiece but it’s moments like the one you pointed out that go overlooked but are just as good as the climax in Rach 2 end movement or Rach 3 1st movement
I also be fixing to cry when I hear it.
RIP to the goat on his birthday
I am agee
Rock'maninoff rules. No words to express the beauty of this music.
My favorite composer of all time!
Rockmaninoff... Love it!!! Well done you.
Fedorova is in total control of this piece from the first note to the last. Wonderfully accompanied by an extremely slick orchestra. This is a performance to savour.
Toujours aussi beaux les concerti de Rachmaninoff.... j'adore.... merci infiniment.
I love the cinematography of this recording! The camera focuses so clearly on where the melody is coming from, instead of just solely focusing on the soloist!
Either way, thank you for the gem Anna !
I agree. And who is that wonderful Horn player? She's amazing. EDIT: Just found out further down in the comments; she is Katy Woolley.
This Concerto Is Very Underrated but it is one of my favorites ever
I might like it more than rach3, but it's reeeeeeaaaaally hard to pick one of the two. Rach2 beats both though and Brahms piano concerto 1 takes the top spot for me
@@o.s.h.4613 hah that's funny, its not quite a match though, because I have Beethoven 3, Saint-Saens 2, Schumann and Scriabin before Rach 4. It's not bad by any means, but I just can't seem to enjoy it as much as other concertos
@@o.s.h.4613 of course his first, since he only wrote one
Spot on , Dea
Why would this piece be underrated? There are millions of Rachmaninoff lovers in the world I am sure.
Terrific underrated piano concerto just like his 4th which is great as well !!!!!
U R Dead right
This is my favorite concerto and the best performance I've ever heard. Both orchestra and Anna are perfect. The best part is that she's not trying to show her technique by playing faster and ruining the Andante as the majority of performers do. Very beautifully played.
The cadenza (...actually the whole concerto) is so breathtakingly beautiful... I'm in tears right now... wonderfully played!
God save Anna Fedorova! There are few as talented, as beautiful, and as humble as she.
Anna is magnificent and unique.
Rachmaninoff and Grieg... Thank you for your masterpieces.
Glad to see you again! Anna!
I see Anna, I click.
Excellent performance by Anna and the orchestra. Up there, Rachmaninov is smiling.
Yes he's smiling and so am I. Beautifully played Anna.
4:15 this is in my opinion one of the best parts. It’s so powerfull❤️🎹
I had to revaluate my conception of this first concert. It was underrated.
Bravo. The second movement brought me to tears. Thank you Anna, wonderful performance.
FINALLY a good version to watch.
Anna Federova: You immeasurably do your parents and ancestors PROUD. Wow ... Enchanting!
Whenever I hear something truly amazing it gives me the sense of watching something spinning 360 degrees. Like a scene of a story in a snow globe, or a ballerina spinning on a music box.
For innumerable days a theme kept coming into my mind, but I could not identify it.
Finally, I played Anna Fedorova's performance of the "Piano Concerto No. 1" by Rachmaninoff on you-tube and I realized that it was the 1st movement main theme!
This theme is unforgettable and it is a shame that no-one plays Rach's "Piano Concerto No. 1, preferring to focus on the 2nd and the 3rd.
Anna Fedorova is the perfect pianist for the Rach #1 whose power and drama makes this one of Rach's best!
As a performing pianist, she has a blend of technique and lyricism is so perfect beyond many "banging males" and "super-delicate females" out there.
Delicacy, strength, and, yes, beauty! Great artist!

17歳ラフマニノフはまだ音楽院の学生。溢れる楽想を精一杯五線紙に書きなぐったような構成力は弱いけれど即興的な面白さと将来協奏曲第2番や交響曲に結実しそうな魅力あふれるメロディーや彼特有の分厚い和声の進行、技巧的なニズム等が随所に聞かれます。ステージや録音で殆ど聴く機会がなかったのですが今回初めて素晴らしい演奏と映像でこの幻の作品の全容を知ることが出来ました。ネットの有難さをしみじみと感じたひと時でありました。感謝！
Many thanks from Paris France 👍 👍 👍.
Anna Fedorova , Pianista Meravigliosa , e che dire di questo Romantico concerto ? Grazie a questo celebre e grande compositore ! .... 👏👏👏✨✨✨🌹🌹🌹🌹
13:21 Esta cadenza é simplesmente linda. Eu amo essa parte. Mostra nitidamente a forca do jovem Rachmaninoff quando compôs este concerto.
My grand dad knew Rachmaninoff well when he lived next door in Beverly Hills and used to bring him his cigarettes at the end of the month. He once took my granddad on his knee and played the famous c sharp minor prelude with just one hand. My granddad said it was the most thrilling thing he had ever heard. But once Horowitz came to ask Rachmaninov a question about how best to interpret the 1st concerto last movement. Rachmaninov apparently didn't like the tone of Horowitz's question and promptly slammed the piano shut and said, with a heavy Russian accent 'Get out, you jelly-fingered mutt'. Strange story but my granddad always used to tell us all it at dinner time. Of course, it's not true, I just wanted to write a story that would keep Rachmaninov fans glued to my text.
haha...these days, a bit of humor is a GOOD thing.
Sorry,I don't like your joke.
She is a great pianist, and a beautiful woman.
To be as good as her requires a ton of work
Greetings from Canada! Yes, the Andante is performed so beautifully, wonderful timing and modulation! This is such a high-level performance in every way, I will watch many times. Try to imagine the complexity of all this- having the performing skills to play such difficult music, and all from memory? Totally amazing! Thank you for posting this concert!
Fascinated with that violin intervention in 9:56 combined with the amazing piano accompaniment by Anna, this peace of art by the Russian genius would be known as everybody
Yes!!! These Anna Fedorova renditions of Rachmaninovs fabulous piano concertos are sublime.
Anna really understands the Soviet school and knows how to play Rachmanninov. Yuja Wang has a lot to learn from her.
Love Anna, she’s a fantastic pianist! And not only in romantic music
There is no shortage these days of excellent recorded musicians, and pianists head up the list. All of them are in a remarkable career with something special to bring, in their way. Having now heard a fair amount from Anna , and seen her in a number of live concerts on you tube ( oh to be really there...) there feels something truly special about her. It almost goes without saying that technically she is technically as sound as any pianist, but what is awe inspiring is that her abilities, her sensitivity too, are totally at the service of the music, of the composer. She plays the underrated No.1 as well as I've heard anyone, and in the slow movement her soul takes over. Wistful and lyrical
This is at least as beautiful as Tchaikovsky's first concert. I agree that this is highly underrated. The performance of Anna Fedorova and the orchestra and conductor - wonderful !!!
great and emotional piece and the pianist is brilliant! Her performance
Of Rach 2 and 3. And Tchaikovsky 1. Just blows your mind away
Anna Fedorova es un poema 🌹
What a wonderful concerto composed by the teenaged Rachmaninoff! So poetic, so expressive! Why is it underrated? Anna is sublime here! A superb performance! Even though I'm past 72, I'm in love again with this performance! Thanks for the post!

Mumbai!
Thank you so much Miss Anna Fedorova. You have an elegant touch, lovely.
Wow that Sinfonieorchester St.Gallen is sth to look out for... Dynamic, precise and deeply emotional.. And what a celebration in combination with Anna. A very fine and delicate experience all in all! Many thanks
My sentiments exactly.Seems we all heard this deeply emotional quality..something done here without the usual visual histrionics of a few other pianists. This MY favorite of her Rachmaninoff performances, based on several factors: the collaboration between soloist and orchestra...beautiful solo playing by all,the languorous tempo in the 2nd movement...unique to Ms Federova. That movement is worth the "price" alone, all little counter-melodies accounted for. The closing pages of the 1st and 3rd movement were thrilling. She took no prisoners there. Such confidence.
Perfect!
1. Vivace: 0:04
2. Andante: 14:20
3. Allegro: 21:40
This is one of my favourite Rachmaninoff piano concerto. Anna Federova does justice to this great Concerto by her usual brilliant playing! The orchestra and conductor were equally brilliant! Wish I was there for this concert!
i have Rachmaninoff piano concert no. 3 on CD and comparing how Anna Federova plays, it is almost identical. she is magnificent.
@@AnushkaGVO Great to know that you share the same administration I have of Anna Federova. In my personal opinion I feel she is the best exponent of Rachmaninov's all 4 Piano Concerto's!!
@@AnushkaGVO Should be admiration and not administration. It was a spelling mistake
Anna was shining yesterday! Love to see her performing at Concertgebouw. The crowd goes crazy for her!
Anna is no ordinary pianist. She's an artist. She's like a ballerina going through a storyline. That 2nd movement is so beautifully played. I used to think of Byron Janis when I think of this concerto but now, add Anna Federova.
Janis comparison...agreed. Tha Janis collection is VERY good.
And played by this pianist who impresses me even better.
this concerto has one of the best cadenzas ever
La Fedorova suona divinamente coadiuvata da un'orchestra stupenda... Questo concerto bellissimo ha delle sonorità che portano lontano e le armonie violentemente struggenti collegano l'anima al cuore .... Eccellente il maestro Modestas Pitrenas.
Anna Fevoroba espectacular pianista💥🙌💃🌹
La pianista, realiza una gran interpretación de esta magnifica obra, escrita a los 18 años, por
Rachmaninoff, y revisada posteriormente en 1917.
Mis felicitaciones para la interprete, que transmite toda la nostalgia de esta obra.
Rachmaninov wrote the 2 last’s movements in only 2.5 days...
...
Genius...
I mean, everybody can write 2 movements in 3 days, but not with the same quality as him.
@@bloba6969 everybody who has a musical education
@@maquina7002 not, just scribble random notes. Youbcan even make John Cage music, his scores are something
Danke Anna!Du bist für mich eine wunderbare Pianistin.Ich würde Dich so gerne einmal live in Wien sehen und hören! Bitte komm nach Wien und lass es mich wissen! Deine Interpretation von RACHMANINOV 's 1.Klavierkonzert ist für mich ein Traum!
Danke herzlich Dein Verehrer aus Wien!

COMPLICATED? SEXY? EMOTIONAL? Truly the worlds greatest musicians give us their best, and go home after the concert hoping the listeners heard them themselves.
Wonderful! They are all virtuous. As always Anna is perfect. Thank you for sharing!
Excellent performance by Anna. She is very lovely
Tears of joy. Anna thanks.
Anna is a very good pianist, accompanied by an impressive orchestra. Thank you for the upload.
the music starting at 15:40 is incredible. It takes you deep into the soul
Especially I love the cadenza at the end of the first movement. Absolutely stunningly beautiful music. I really think the piano was one of humanity’s greatest creations.
I always feel comfortable with Anna Fedorova. Her performance is very relaxing with no exaggeration or stunt. This Rachmaninoff seems perfect for her. Of course, her performance of the 2nd and 3rd concertos are my favorites, too.
I agree with other Comments that the Rachmaninoff First Piano Concerto is by no means an inferior, secondary work. I have searched the internet for performances. Anna Fedorova is a treasure! How many watching wish they were responsible for at least a hundred-thousand of the views here?
Giving this concerto another listen and my goodness, it is soo intense and beautiful but yet melancholic. 2nd mvt sounds like Rachmaninoff had deep emotions for someone and just approached them, I get this feeling 🎶. The ending of it is just nostalgic. Anna, you are a true master.
In love with this lady!!! ❤❤❤
Beautifully played. The thing I notice about quite a few pianists that play Rachmaninoff is that they wish to show off their skill and agility measured on how fast they can tackle certain passages. To me, this can make the overall sound muddy as certain notes haven't been given enough time to naturally die off. I don't know all the musical terms, but I do listen! If I may be bold to say, I think Rachmaninoff factored in all of these resonant notes as part of the flavour, so at times with other performers it seems like its steeping over each other then it gets muddy.
I don't think this is the case here thankfully! It's a nice breath of fresh air in fact! I think there's a discipline within that itself! It's enough to know that you can execute it that well and give a great performance. Less is more
I heard this once and didn't get it (piano concerto 1). Only after listening to the 2nd and 3rd then coming back, I understand what he was doing. There are passages and hints in this I hear more fully explored in the concertos that followed. The musical conversation is complete
Say "fade off" not "die off" I can not tell the difference between perfect Rachmaninoff play from muddy play. Is that sad?
@@John-wx3zn Why fade off and not die off? Is that a musical term? It's difficult to tell if your comment shows genuine interest in my comment. I shall assume for now that it does and would attempt to explain, or at least entertain you! lol.
In different performances and recordings from different artists, certain passages you'll hear more clearly than others, for example, by the way they are expressed. It's like when some people talk so fast the words almost slur, and then there are some voices you can fall alseep to. However, this is very good food for thought and I decided to ask Mr Google, as I'm not up with all the musical terms.
When I say muddy play, it is not the actual finger on the note, technique, I mean the clambering of the notes as the sound is travelling. The closest I found to understanding this is what they call the 'envelope (music)'.
Rachmaninoff seems to pack so much into a single passage in terms of harmonies etc, that when some play his work, I find that some of those residual harmonies etc get carried over and slightly clash with the next phrase. That I'm sure has to do with space. That's the muddiness I speak of. Sorry, I wish I was a professor but that's the best I could attempt to explain how I hear it. I shall look into it more as I personally think it's very interesting!
ACK I’ve been waiting a year and half for this ever since you announced it! Her interpretations of Rachmaninoff are always amazing. Only the 4th concerto to go!
ELINA home
4th is my absolute favorite. Currently, my favorite interpretations are Anievas, Michaelangeli, and Thibeaudet
Stupid COVID messed up Anna’s Rach 4. At least there was Chopin Concerto 2 in September 2020.
finally its time :)
Beautiful playing and stupendous music. I had forgotten how good the 1st piano concerto by Rachmaninov is. I hadn't listened to it for many years.
Merveilleuse Anna! Un toucher un sens de l'oeuvre, l'andante est remarquable, une extraordinaire qualité d'interprétation qui s'élève après chaque note jouée, un velours profond et unique. Merci et bravo!
Awesome. I love her interpretation of Rachmaninoff
Yes, you have reason, it is underrated indeed, it has beutiful moments of its own. And we must say that Rachmaninoff is a music genius
I must spplaud Anna Fedorova for playing the difficult original cadenza in a live performance, for few pianists do so. It is my favorite part of the concerto though I love every part of this most beautiful of Rachmaninoff's piano concertos.
Katy Wooley liedering the horns is so sweet, so tender!!; and Anita Fedorova makes me dream.
.
Although I have this first pianoconcert on a CD, it is nice to see it played in the open air, so to say, Thank you, Avrotros, you have made my life a better life.
@@o.s.h.4613 Who? I do. They are small, handy, and in my relatively expensive CD-player they sound very good, "Modern vinyls" is a strange way to think about this. With dust, a nail that need to be exactly at its position, with the right weight, several hard solutions about this and that. If you are the type of human beeing who like problems, and then like to minimize them, well, then vinyl can be right for you. I am not, I go for the music. This is a never ending discussion among HiFi-people. You cant just say that vinyl is better.

Rachmaninov, my absolute favourite composer since I watched Stephen Hough (British concert pianist) play Rachmaninov's no.3 concerto at the Proms at the Royal Albert Hall in London in the early to mid 1980's. A close friend recommended Rack no 3 at the Albert Hall if I liked and was attending other piano works by him. Rachmaninov My most favourite pianist at the time, though I had many, was the young, dashing Vladamir Ashkenazy. Of course, great Russian giants like Sviatoslav Richter and Emile Gilel will always remain top most in my heart.
Superb playing!
every second of this is absolutely gorgeous
Wow, stunning performance and stunning performer. Well done Anna!!!
These three concerti are a major contribution to TH-cam. Thank you very much for sharing them!
He was showing great promise at 18! You put together a passionate, technically adept pianist with a passionate and technically adept orchestra and you get a performance worthy of sitting through every second!
🤓 Might have listened to it even more than to the 2nd concerto now. This Rach 1 is heavenly, props to Anna and this superb orchestra. Every movement is so singular, so beautiful and so powerful at its own. Hands down this might be the very best concerto imho.
10:08 - a glimpse at how beautiful a Rachmaninoff Violin-Piano Sonata would have been.
oh if only,,,,,, i would simp so hard
He actually DID leave a smattering of chamber works, including the Cello Sonata with its ravishing slow movement. Other neglected Rachmaninoff genres include solo songs and choral works, notably the unaccompanied All-Night Vigil (the so-called Vespers). I believe you will be pleasantly surprised.
@@Mezzotenor The vespers are wonderful.
This Concerto is criminally underrated
Ein Klemmen von der Musikal....Ein Klemmen von Perfektionistischen.....Wie Wunderbar Herrschen Sie sich auf der Intrumente & Bewegungen.....Was fehlt es noch.....?
