Age Juurikas, piano (artist of ERP) Anton Rubinstein. Piano Concerto No 4 in D minor Op 70 Estonian National Symphony Orchestra, Maestro Neeme Järvi Live from Estonia Concert Hall, Tallinn
In the 1970s there was an attempt at making a "Romantic Revival", with festivals of that name here and there. It was, unfortunately, short-lived, but its legacy was some decent recordings that were made of works that would have otherwise been left ignored. We're due for another un-earthing of so many wonderful pieces (not just piano concerti) that are constantly overlooked by orchestras, conductors, soloists, and chamber music players who insist on repeating the same repertoire over and over and over and over and over!
Anton Rubinstein ( 11/28/1829 - 11/20/1894 ) was a great 19th century Russian pianist, composer, conductor and educator. So was his younger brother Nicolai Rubinstein. This poignant Piano Concerto #4 in d minor is a masterpiece by Anton Rubinstein, yet unfortunately is obscure to the general classical music public. It should definitely be made known to all. The noble minor tonic seventh chord starts up and forms the whole composition.
Очень интересный путь как услышал это выступление.Через картину Репина Славянские композитора. Картина весит в Консерватории в городе Москва. Которую увидел посещая джазовый концерт. Прочитал фамилию Рубинштейн решил послушать на ютубе и наткнулся на эту очаровательную исполнительницу
Shura Cherkassky championed this concerto his whole life. I was blessed to hear him perform it with the NY Phil in he 90s... Rubinstein was his "teaching" grandfather.
A powerful concerto it takes all from the musician ! I grew up hearing this concerto with Hofmann and felt with him it was great music . It suffered under Levant but Shura brought it's luster back as this young lady does .Brava ! The 2nd movement can be difficult to really get its beautiful essence out but it works here . Integrity is essential for this music . It shows who you are . i'M SO GLAD i HEARD THE FINALE AGAIN!!!
Well done, bravoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.....................................................................
Absolutely loved the performance and artistry of this wonderful concerto. Pianist and orchestra are first rate. Poor Anton wrote a wonderful series of piano concertos and they never really got the attention they deserved. The 4th is the best of the lot and, in my book, ranks up there with the Saint Saens concertos and other wonderful piano concertos of master composers who knew the territory but did not write works that caught on with the public. Let's face it: the Tchaikovsky, Grieg, Rachmaninoff are masterworks that caught on, but let's give credit where credit is due. Moskowski, Rubenstein, Paderewski were masters in their own right and their works must be recognized for the masterworks they are.
A big problem with Rubinstein is that he's been played far too slowly in the past because people misinterpreted his tempo indications. These were display concertos meant to show off the soloist's virtuosity, so dawdling about is absolutely lethal. Hamelin's Fourth is great (and doesn't mess about), but my favorite is the First, and although Banowetz is more than competent in his recording, try speeding it up by 15-20% or so. It makes all the difference in the world.
Haven't heard this concerto in a long time... Deeply romantic piece, a whirlwind.... It seems to find its niche between the stringency of Tchaikovsky and the unfettered pianism of a Rachmaninoff.
TRADUCTION : Je n’ai pas entendu ce concerto depuis longtemps... Un morceau profondément romantique, un tourbillon... Il semble trouver sa niche entre la rigueur de Tchaïkovski et le pianisme sans entrave d’un Rachmaninoff.

L'oeuvre immense d' Anton Rubinstein tant en musique de chambre que symphonique ou lyrique est tombée depuis longtemps dans l'oubli le plus complet .C'est manifestement une grande injustice et cela trahit la paresse et le manque de curiisité des maisons d'opéra et de salles de concert ou des festivals.La Roche d'Antéron en est un bon exemple avec ses sempiternelles reprises des mêmes oeuvres...
Wonderful composition and a very lovely performer. Rubinstein's #2 and #4 piano concerto's were considered his best. I feel like #4 is better than #5. If you listen carefully you can hear some ingredients he taught Tchaikovsky in a few sections.
I don´t know why soloists in Europe are always forced to play only the well-known concerts and don´t play other concerts like this one and other valuable ones. Europe is stuck musically speaking, not wanting to listen to other composers.
Not Europe. Many audiences, generally.... And it is sad. Because there is so much music out there that is worth hearing. Especially in this age where even pop music has degenerated to a handful of computer generated gimmicks.
No different than here in the Americas. It's all about money and attracting patrons and attendees with what they want to hear, not what they should be hearing.
@Ragnvald David Wow. Calm down. Here is an opportunity to dialogue and learn new things provide information that others may not have - it's called a teachable moment. No need to have a hissy fit and hurl a bunch of insults.

A brilliant performance of a neglected masterpiece. Her thirds at 23:58 are excellent.
Wonderful execution ! Bravo

How is this not a thousand times more popular?

listen to Hamelin who plays it better than Hofmann.
A triumphant performance of a triumphant concerto. A sorely neglected masterpiece, Makes me want to learn it if anyone would ever want to perform it!
i concerti romantici poco eseguiti è sempre un piacere sentirli
this performance of this difficult concerto was amazing her performance was of the highest quality,and made it look so easy jus
Thanks for your nice words!
Very nice
Well done, bravoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.....................................................................

His 5th concerto is a masterpiece as well
Indeed. Marc-Andre Hamelin did a wonderful recording on the Hyperion label.
His 1st is my favourite but this is a close second
well spoken

I think #1 is underrated. The first movement is iconic to me at least
Movements:
I - Moderato Assai: 0:30;
II - Andante: 12:08;
III- Allegro: 22:04.
Thanks!
beautiful concerto
great performance - thanx all :)
Thanks!
J'adore !
t absolutely stunning
What a clear and perfect performance! Thanks for posting this.
Many thanks!
Прекрасно.
Josef Hofmann, Oscar Levant and Shura Cherkassky championed this concerto very hard.

Because this simply isn't as good, although I agree that the 4th is among the better ones
12 points......
Nice and pleasant to the ear but in the final analysis, lacks the virtuosity of Hamelin and Ponti.
Compare it with the Saint-Saens piano concertos. It is ways better.
Not bad but can't beat Marc Andre Hamelin faster and more accurate
Then hear Michael Ponti, he silences all criticism...
No son tenía muchas más está ni me gusta.
