Always loved this concerto. First time seeing the score and I'm amazed to see how easy it easy to play technically. Never realized. Perhaps that's why it's not played very often.
9:30 nice little quote to le sacre!
Wow yes! Thanks Nick!
11:48 for movement 2
FP 146!

The beginning reminds me of...a disney song lmao. I just can't remember exactly what...
I love having this score to look at, but jeez... the performance is consistently poky, like driving with the brakes on.
Agree. There’s a marvelous recording with Gabriel Tacchino and G. Prêtre. This one is just way to slow and out of tempo
To be clear, I blame the soloist, not conductor Mikko Franck, whom I adore. (Elsewhere on CZcams he leads Poulenc's "Litanies a la Virge Noir" in the orchestral version quite capably, aided by a scary-good youth choir.) In the Piano Concerto, my only cavil with Tacchino/Prêtre is that the balances aren't always ideal. That may be an issue with the work's orchestration, but my pet recording by Uhlig/González on Hänssler meets the challenge.
@@Mezzotenor thanks for the Litanies tip - I love that piece, especially the so beautiful agnus dei bit, and that was a lovely performance. Used to the old St Johns recording, it's strange to hear it pronounced in proper French!
@@spridgejuice - That George Guest LP was pretty damn good, e.g., a totally solid O Sacrum Convivium by Messiaen. It also had the only decent Messe Solennelle by Langlais until Hyperion issued a smoker performance from Westminster Cathedral (RC, not Westminster Abbey). But yes, some British choirs used to have quirks of pronunciation - I think I once heard "Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini" rendered as "Benna dicktuss [rhyming with ] kwee vennit inn nominee domin-ee" or something like that. LOL...
@@Mezzotenor and then there's the drone of traffic outside, which I'd have thought could have been filtered out, but yes, I love those George Guest records
