  • Part 3 of the short series where I share cool piano concerti I love.
    For this part, I picked some older recordings so naturally the sound quality isn't as sharp. I do still believe them to be very good though!
    Subtitles coming soon!
    0:00 J.S.Bach: Keyboard Concerto No. 1 in D minor, I: Allegro (György Sebök)
    1:23 Maurice Ravel: Piano Concerto in G, II: Adagio assai (Marguerite Long)
    2:27 Francis Poulenc: Piano Concerto, I: Allegretto (Annette Haas, mistakenly written as M. Haas in the video, oops)
    3:26 Sergei Prokofiev: Piano Concerto No. 3 in C, III: Allegro ma non troppo (Emil Gilels)

    I’m old enough to have heard Glenn Gould play the Bach D minor concerto in a concert with the Columbus Symphony around 1960. The conductor was Evan Whallon. Of the hundreds of concerts I have attended since then it still ranks as one of the most memorable!

    The adagio from ravel's concerto is really amazing

      One of, if not the best, slow movement from any piano concerto!

      I was going to pick Brandenburg 5, but then I realised that I could get away with it more if I picked the keyboard concerto 😃

    I love Poulenc. I think he is my favorite chamber music composer for woodwinds. He never misses a beat with his sonatas and his trios. Just an absolute legend. He has such an iconic and unique style.
    Also, I still don't understand how any human being can play Prokofiev's last two concertos. But they both are absolutely stunning. I used to only like the fast part of the third, but I grew to love both of them. Prokofiev is such a unique composer.

      I love Poulenc's chamber music- particularly the Clarinet Sonata- as It is all so wonderfully written & emotionally rich, but it couldn't't have been written by anyone else.
      The last two concerti by Prokofiev are weird- I currently lean more to No. 4, but I still need time to understand them better. Still really great works!

    Would love to hear Moszkowski or Scriabin or somebody in one of these, also idk if you've heard it but the second mvt of Boris Tchaikovsky's piano concerto is sublime

    great list, I like the slower bach d minor. The harmony stands out more

    • @ThomasRamsay_Music
      @ThomasRamsay_Music  Před měsícem

      I liked it a lot as well- for me, I don't think I could pick between a fast and a slow one. I like the excitement that a faster performance brings, but, as you pointed out, a slower tempo really brings out the harmony & counterpoint!
