Wonderful! I love trying to visualize these concerts as theatrical exploits in my head. My 3rd great-grandmother, Sarah Jane Rousseau was a private student of Ferdinand's from about 1818-1824 (while he was in London). She became a well-sought-after musician and teacher to the upper classes in America after that.
My favourite Ries concerto, along with no.3. I learned it when we were all confined by the pandemic in 2020. In both the first and last movement, the middle sections are so beautiful. The orchestra is treated very well, too. Fabulous work.
Thank you very much for uploading this video series. Piano Concerto No. 9 in G minor, Op. 177. Composed in 1832. Published in 1833. This is my favorite piece. I believe this piece influenced Hummel and even inspired also Reinecke of later. Comment from an unknown composer from Okinawa JAPAN.
Out of all his concerti, I think I enjoy this one the most. Even though it's in a minor key, I find it to exude triumph over a long journey. It's almost like Ries looked back on his career, saw how much he accomplished, and focused that feeling into this work. Again, thank you for uploading these hidden gems.
It's funny, how people react differently to the musical keys. I always prefer minor key concertos and symphonies. I enjoy both major and minor keys but for me, minor key pieces are more moving. For example, Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 20 and his Symphony No. 40 are very touching. It's the same with Chopin's two piano concertos.
This is the last concerto written for piano by Ries. This masterpiece begins with an Allegro where the influence of Beethoven is noted, however with some originality that distinguished from this one. The romantic lyricism that intersects the moments of greatest musical intensity are proof of this, a case less frequent in Beethoven. The Larghetto is admirable and charming. Ries, was one of the great composers and pianist of the Classical-Romantic period and as I have already mentioned he should have the prominent place that would be fair. The concerto ends with a Rondo, Allegro full of strength and joviality and divine harmony. The pianist is amazing for the sublime way he interprets periods of great musical intensity as those of greater sensibility. The orchestra and its direction are magnificent. Viva Ries and his great and superb music. Thanks for this remarkable recording.
It,s unthinkable why this composer has been forgotten so many years.I listen to his works more than Beethoven,s one’s.His nine piano concertos leave speechless for its virtuosity and ………
Não haveria Ries sem Beethoven. Estude a evolução do concerto para piano e não menorize quem, como Mozart e Beethoven, contribuíram para o seu desenvolvimento de uma forma ímpar. E olhe para as datas, Vicente, as datas explicam muita coisa.
It's easy to judge these lesser known composers with, the well known musical giants of the time. Yes you could say that it contains hints of Chopin, Mendelssohn etc. And tbh, I can't really detect much Beethoven in this either. Ries was a mature composer by the time this was written. And he had hit upon his own, individual style. The piano writing in this is astonishingly good.
@@mstawse2966 The lesser knowns are just as good, maybe better? LOL! Music is nothing like fashion when it comes to the truly great composers. Some music critics are idiots and you have comfortably joined their ranks.
If there's one thing all of Ries' concertos have in common is their monstrous virtuosity. There is a majesty about the simple, broad and thickly orchestrated themes in the first movement that I really like. The "Gypsy Rondo" (or at least, that's what it sounded like to me) was an excellent movement, with really enjoyable tutti sections breaking up the flutters of the piano. Interesting in the description it's said that this concerto borrows from technique of Dussek, as the Bohemian flare of his g minor concerto is similar to the flare that makes this concerto such a good listen.
I was moved to tears by the shift from minor to major at around 11.15, commonplace as that move is in Romantic piano concertos--this was so special, nonetheless, like heavenly light dawning on a stormy sea. It seems that if he thought of a cadenza he was too caught up in the flow and perfect form of the first movement to stop it for some meaningless showoff. It just gets better from there. Thanks Bartje!!
Overall, this may be the best of Ries' Concerti. It is formally secure and melodically inspired, even if somewhat emotionally distant. Highlights are the coda of the 'larghetto' and the lighthearted Mozartean finale that tempers the more serious nature of the preceding movements.
Hello Mr. Bartman. I have a question. Why are these scores shown in two parts, as if a piano reduction, for the whole orchestra? It's very easy for me to understand as a pianist. Thank you. Btw thank you for showing this music!
This was standard print for those days. That way the pianist at home (which were literally thousands) could play a concerto including orchestral tutti's in one flow, without the tricky going in- and out of second piano to first piano. The repertoire got also more accessible this way for the amateur.

Ries has never disappointed me with his works. A tremendous composer that should be revered.
This is absolutely a wonderful concerto. One of the best ever. Thank you very much Bartje Bartmans.
1. Allegro - 00:07
2. Larghetto con moto - 13:22
3. Rondo. Allegro - 20:46

Both outer movements do end in major though, so that surely has to do with at least some of what you're feeling about it!

great work, at some points quite original... must say I'm impressed!
ries might be a lesser known composer but he is a master at what he does - beethoven taught him well...
The third movement is especially moving. Just beautiful!
As his descendant, I thank you

Magnifique 🎶💓🎶✨
Really enjoyed listening to that......plenty of lovely twists and turns.
Grazie Maestro molto bello complimenti
Это просто замечательно. Не надо его сравнивать с Бетховеном или с кем - то еще другим.Он сам по себе велик.Мы же не сравниваем Бетховена с Бахом.

Восторг и восхищение от такой музыки Ferdinand Ries супер
Qué concierto tan maravilloso, es alucinante escuchar a Ries. Un virtuoso del piano, no me cabe duda alguna. ¡Pooooom, poommmmm! Guau!
Merci
Lovely second theme in the last movement!
Отличное произведение и исполнение супер. ПРОИЗВЕДЕНИЕ Ferdinand Ries МОЖНО СЛУШАТЬ БЕСКОНЕЧНО.
Какого еще "Райса"? Он был немцем, а не англичанином. Произносится " Рис".
@@Queeen7q Ferdinand Ries was a German composer. Ries was a friend, pupil and secretary of Ludwig van Beethoven. Всё верно. Извиняюсь
How Ries is not in "Inmortal Beloved" or other Beethoven films?
if i am remembering this right he is in the movie "eroica"
Because he isn't significant.

True art transcends time, as they say at my local silent film festival!
The description says he copmosed 8 piano concertos, and yet this is a video for no. 9! Interesting to hear these lesser known composers
Ries numbered his Violin Concerto as #1, his first piano concerto #2 and so on.
2nd mov't is supreme, 3rd is brilliant. But I can't stop reminding some passages from 1st mov't his teacher Beethoven.
4:39
there is a very similar moment in Tchaikovsky's piano concerto No. 1.

@@bartjebartmans I see, thank you. Yes, I am more of an amateur, and this is very helpful! Hope I can find more of these scores one day. Good day o/
La quinta sinfonía de Beethoven hecha concierto para piano.
Description says he composed eight piano concertos
The concerti are numbered from 1 to 9, however #1 (Opus 24) is for violin and orchestra.
👎
He is shamelessly stealing from Beethoven. Here from the Emperor concerto. It is rather embarrassing. Melodic ideas, harmonic patterns, piano figures.
