Which Victoria Symphony? There must be a dozen places called Victoria which could possibly support an orchestra. Beginning with the state of Victoria in Australia, and Victoria in British Columbia. I'm not sure why the poster assumes we will know.

Lorraine Min is the best classical pianist I have ever seen. I am totally impressed! Thank you!

Le jeu est bon techniquement mais quelque peu mécanique et violent. Le régime autoritaire dans lequel elle vit transparaît malheureusement quelque peu. A comparer à une Yuja Wang, beaucoup plus nuancée, qui a su ou pu se détacher de cet environnement.

An exquisite performance by an extraordinarily sensitive artist. All musicians are to be congratulated on presenting such a beautiful piece.

I wonder if Rachmaninoff got the idea concept for his opening of his 3rd piano concerto from the last movement of this Saint-Saens concerto???

Une très belle interprétation, malgré une prise de son parfois confuse, de ce splendide concerto où l'art de Saint-Saëns atteint un sommet inégalé: fabuleuses mélodies et variations harmoniques autour de ces thèmes, une coda du 1er mouvement capable d'émouvoir un bloc de fonte, un dialogue parfait entre le piano et l'orchestre qui se mettent en valeur l'un l'autre, la montée en puissance du thème du 3ème mouvement jusqu'au paroxysme de sa conclusion... A mes oreilles, ce concerto est sans doute la plus belle et la plus attachante oeuvre orchestrale jamais composée.

This has always been my very favorite classical piece. I was amazed and delighted to discover this beautifully photographed live performance of Saint-Saens 4th piano concerto performed masterfully by Lorraine Min and conducted memorably by the fantastic Tania Miller. I just wish I had been there on that night. I have been asking the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra to present it for years. The first movement is stunning in its understatement and gentleness. In the second movement the recurring melodies found throughout the piece become bold and triumphant. I don’t care to argue about which of the five piano concertos by Saint-Saens is the masterpiece. I’m more interested in experiencing what touches the human heart. This is some beautiful and very memorable music. And what an ending.

A stunning presentation of my favorite classical piece performed by virtuoso Lorraine Min and the Victoria Symphony audience. It has never been performed more beautifully and passionately than by Ms. Min and I’ve listened to Saint-Saen’s 4th piano concerto hundreds of times. What an accomplishment. Congratulations Lorraine Min! You brought tears to my eyes and gave me goosebumps.

My favorite Saint Saens Piano Concertos are the 2 and the 4; the 5 is next, but 1 and 3 are cool too.

Great rendition of this concert by Lorraine Min. She plays vigorously and is always in command.

Saint-Saens' music is very interesting; there is a lot to learn from him (as a music professor). Some people think he's superficial, but so what! He covered all the spectrum of classical music, and his works are very remarkable.

A sparkling performance of this wonderful concerto. No wonder the orchestra applauded Ms Min with such enthusiasm. Absolutely 100% deserved.

Потрясающее исполнение и концерт! Браво❤. Восхищаюсь концертами Сен Санса ... это уже третий ,а начала с 1 го,потом попался 5й ...

I love the Saint-Saens concerto's. It's deeply emotional, beautiful played. The French composers are also top. It's wonderful

In every concert, theres an idiot shouting BRAVO! Only for his 1 second of fame. Sad man.

I am a great admirer of the music of Saint-Saens. I see that some have mentioned that Saint-Saens is to some extent underrated. I agree. The common reference to Saint-Saens as the "French Mendelssohn" doesn't help, as I think Mendelssohn is underrated as well. There was a dedicated and developing classical practice during the 19th century; and can be traced from Schubert through Mendelssohn and through Saint-Saens. Wonderful performance. The piece requires both a crispness of execution and full command of the tonal potential of the instrument. Mission accomplished.

Я счастлива что услышала этот концерт,благодарю

Hand movements are extraordinary.

Les concertos de Saint-Saëns sont tous bons, mais celui-ci est particulièrement flamboyant Bravo à l'interprète et à l'orchestre !

Fine performance of a very good, underrated piece. Such great tunes and superb architecture. A ‘proper’ piano concerto!!

Quelle magnifique prestation. C'est précis, ciselé et remarquablement joué. Une heureuse découverte en ce jour de l'an 2023....

En el último movimiento se le acabó la inspiración a SaintSaenz. Qué artificial, simplón, el rondó. Feo. Feo.

oh, common, this is a second-rate piece........................

Once Ms. Min set the pace for the theme of the Allegro in the second movement, I knew we were in for it. Met the extreme challenge of this daunting composition with both grace and power. Bravo.

Magnificent!

Merveilleux !! Je découvre saint saens, et, notamment, les concertos pour piano, et , je suis stupéfait, qu un compositeur ayant composé de telles merveilles, ( j ai écouté les concertos 2 et 5 par Richter !!!) , n aie pas l exposition d un Mozart ou d un Beethoven, pour ne citer qu eux. Ce concerto ne sera peut être pas mon préféré, mais je reconnais l extraordinaire vivacité d esprit de ce compositeur, ainsi que le magnifique rendu de l interprétation, tant orchestrale que pianistique. Bravo !!!!

3:37 bruit de résonnance mystérieux dû aux accords comme dans le 2em mvt du no 5 et la fin du 2em mvt du 3em de violon ? Saint Saëns nous amène des sons célestes ?

A musician who at the age of 8 played recitals in which people could call out for him to play one of the 32 Beethoven Sonatas, Camille Saint-Saens had an auspicious beginning to the music world. His music is always sane and beautiful. He is no Beethoven. He is just a magnificent composer and, in his day, a fantastic pianist. He is highly underrated as a composer and people need to recognize his depth of ability. His piano concertos are indeed underrated and they shouldn't be.

(Peter Badenoch here). Has anyone transcribed the 1st movement of this concerto for organ? (No, I'm not getting it confused with Saint Sains "Organ Symphony".)

Oh my gosh, her performance is nothing short of silky.... Need to keep an eye out for her future performances!

Bravoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"Od Bacha do Bacharacha".

Splendid!

Saint Saëns five piano concertos have the signature of him as a post romantic very original composer. The order I love them according to its themes and melodic-harmonic development is: numbers 2 and 5 the greatest. No. 1, 3 and 4 the most composer style.

Beautiful ~~~♥♥♥

Magnificent rendition of this superb work. Thank you for the discovery

I love all five of Saint-Saens piano concertos. Everything he wrote is great.

Magnificent!

I liked the idea of the composer in the way he connected all the movements in one single piece...

Saint Saens is great, indeed, and this splendid rendition of his 4th proves it. We, who love Music, should be given more chances of enjoying his music.

This is when camille made his shit but people thought it was art.

A truly splendid performance of a much underrated piano concerto.

Wow, how does she manage to play with so much tension?
