All of these moments are exceptional.
Unbelievably beautiful concerto. Very well played with the right feelings. Sadly, it is completely ignored by the masses who only know Bach, Beethoven and Brahms; so the top orchestras and pianists pass it up for live performances.
As you probably already noticed, I committed to rediscover these forgotten works by forgotten composers and share them, just next to the most known and mainstream masterworks. :)
@@SPscorevideos Keep up the great work!
Although I cherish the tradition of “Western classical music”, I am not a sophisticated listener. Nonetheless, as delightful a work as this is, it is hard for me to put this in the same class as the piano concertos of LvB or Brahams.
@@laurencesherwood9872 When I hear this concerto the style I think of is that of Rachmaninoff But guess what! Amy Beach was very unlikely to be familiar with Rachmaninoff's first piano concerto since it was composed only a couple of years before this one and Rachmaninoff was barely out of the conservatory in Russia. So Amy Beach and Rachmaninoff both very much captured the spirit of the times with their respective piano concertos. Sure I agree with similarities to other concertos such as Brahms and Schumann, BUT there is plenty of originality hear which show's Amy Beach's great genius. This is most certainly the best romantic piano concerto composed by an American. Macdowell's second piano concerto is the only one that I know of that is even close to as good.
It's Nice but not in the same level to Brahms piano concertos or Rachmaninoff or Beethoven. That is clear.
I cried listening to this, never heard something so beautiful
How superb, how elegant, how enlightening, especially the second movement, so life encouraging, makes my Sunday morning a celebration time
I always forget about Amy Beach whose music is spoken of more than performed. Then I hear her and keep asking, as I have for most of my life: WHY is this (meaning her entire output) not better known, more appreciated? I long to hear this concerto performed live one of these days.
I have just found a new favourite composer and I am honestly mesmerised...as a young composer myself I am just incredibly surprised by her works and how she is not more well-known and/or studied.
Hele Music -- True...and...IMAGINE....a LADY....writing such beautiful music.....Outstanding!
I would be interested in what you find remarkable in her music. I do not have a sense that she broke in any significant way with the musical tradition in which she was raised, a factor that is often included when considering composers’ reputations.
Best wishes with your aspirations!
@@laurencesherwood9872 -- True...but...did Rakhmaninov smash icons? Glière? Even so....Remarkable!....although we can't all be Prokofiev....or …Mussorgsky.....
@@steveegallo3384 I appreciate you cynical response to Mr. Hele
@@Nogah100 -- Cynical...maybe. But Arch...yes! Greetings from San Agustinillo, Oaxaca
Whoo! Thanks for bringing this back up.
"Back up"? Was already on CZcams in the past? I don't remember, but I decided to do this because I was surprised I couldn't find it some weeks ago.
Yes, it was on my channel, but was struck down.
@@thenameisgsarci Oh, I didn't remember! This videos should be safe, it's using a recording which has been on CZcams for 4 years now.
Glad to see.
Wundervolle Musik einer Komponistin-hervorragend interpretiert. Es ist toll, dass man nicht nur mithören sondern auch mitlesen kann. Vielen Dank für dieses wunderschöne Musikerlebnis.
After hearing this piece for the first time this evening, I'm sure I will be whistling the wonderful tunes from it all day tomorrow.
Mrs. Beach and Ethel Smyth were the two dames of classical music. I always found it hilarious that Beach wrote "Mrs. H.H.A. Beach" on all/most of her scores. She was definitely going against the grain with all of her work - women were NOT supposed to do more than play an instrument in those days. They also weren't invited to audition for any symphony orchestras. If they got to play a concerto with an orchestra, they were often lucky. Women had to really fight hard for many years in the classical world. Even Menuhin was as sexist as they came, or maybe just totally jealous. He said, and I quote, "a woman has no business playing a violin, she should be at home tending the fields and gardens." I'm thinking of Maud Powell and how her husband drove her around the US to give concerts in various cities in a big old town car. She was one of the pioneers.
So, in 2023 AD it is apparently not possible for people like you to view the composer and the concerto, other than through the optic of gender? Isn't judging a person by their gender, in fact .... sexist? Are you so insecure about your own values that you need to seek constant valediction by seeking fault in others from another time and culture?

Very Moszkowski-esque! Beautiful piano concerto, fully romantical
This concerto ends with a very American-sounding plagal-ish ii6 - I cadence, unless you count the scale degree 5 played by the timpani as an implied dominant harmony
Hearing this the first time I would say: Amy Beach was a composer of great talent, know how and last not least charme. The concert starts in a late romantic idiom resembling Tschaikovsky. The last movement is clearly influenced by Chopin. Altogether well crafted concert, yet no big surprises. Given the deplorable status of women around 1900 Amy Beach deserves to be remembered as excepional.
You can write this in greater condescension? Amy Beach, no doubt at all, depends on your judgement. Myself, I cannot wait for your judgements of women artists.
Thanks for uploading!
This beautiful Piano Concerto in C sharp minor, Op. 45 by Amy Beach, was dedicated by the composer to the great Venezuelan pianist and composer Teresa Carreño, whom Amy Beach greatly admired, both were admirable women in her time and great friends of hers.
The beginning reminds me of Dvorak symphony 9 and Grieg piano concerto.
But without the tunes.
Magnifique, un ravissement à faire connaitre!
Thank you for providing the score.
Magnificent!
Amy Beach. My love.
Прекрасное произведение! Спасибо!

Although I'm generally not particularly impressed or interested in Beach's works I do think this work in particular provides a strong argument that she was one of the greatest American composers and this concerto is on par with that of Gershwin's or Barber's.
Then Charles Ives swings in and shows this music up as the sentiment romantic fluff it is.
Marvelous! In general I'm not a fan of music from the "romantic" period, but this is well done, interesting, and lively.

The style reminds me of Brahms (the first movement seems inspired by the Brahms D Minor with its controlled violence). Why isn't this played more often? (Same question about D'Albert's #1, a teen piece that is a masterpiece, following Liszt).
Yeah, the counterpoint, the "music box" effect in the cadenza, and that ethereal part at 10:25 very much remind me of Brahms (especially a very similar moment in his 2nd piano concerto), but the big chords, strong bass, and colorful orchestration remind me of Rachmaninoff. Beach is a criminally underrated composer who deserves to be so much more well-known!
Who's playing? Beautiful sound and clear technique!
As you can read opening the description: Joanne Polk, with the English Chamber Orchestra and Paul Goodwin
Was the reference to Dvorak meant to be saying “I am American”?
Amy beach❤❤❤

Perpetuum mobile? Sounds like me always looking at my phone
Go on looking at your phone. You'll sure get something very deep and interesting from it.
You don't have the full score?
Evidently I don't. :)
