Midori Ito skated to the opening at the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville. After a grueling week filled with injury she pulled out of her short program to sit in 4th place. She skated to Piano Conerto Movement 1 for her Free Skate and won the silver medal.
Grieg's A minor Concerto served as the model for the original version of this Concerto: in fact, the Grieg was Rachmaninoff's favorite Piano Concerto. The original version of the Rachmaninoff has been recorded.
Between his incredible Schumann concerto and this, I feel like I've totally slept on Shelley. Will definitely need to check out more of his recordings.
Wonderful video again. Fantastic series. Didn’t know this concerto. That second movement is both ravishing and wonderfully strange. Very impressionistic. The opening of the second movement is very like the opening of Tristan und Isolde, rising chromatic scales landing on surprising chord each time. Fascinating.
Ah, Rach! Sublime yearning at its best in this concerto! Yes, this is a revision of the original, but I can still hear the masterful themes and treatment that Rach seemed to be born with. I have always heard that great composers do not sit at the piano and allow their hands to limit the development of their compositions, but all of Rach seems to be about "noodling at the piano" and the excellence of his ideas and themes. Yes, even his masterpiece: the Second Symphony sounds pianistic. Rach, the piano, the world!
Yes. If you read the wikipedia page about this concerto, you'll find that Rach was fond of it. "Composition students were usually advised to base their efforts on a specific model for their first exercises in new forms. In Rachmaninoff's case this was the Grieg Piano Concerto, which was a favorite work of his and one which he had been familiar from Siloti practicing it at the Rachmaninoff household during the spring and summer of 1890 for future concerts. Rachmaninoff adapted the entire musical structure of the outer movements to the Grieg concerto, literally building his music into it. With all his other concertos, Rachmaninoff would prove more enterprising."
I enjoy Prokofievs first piano concerto more than this one. I feel it has more artistical vision for being a first concerto at a young age. I've always felt that Prokofiev is more original and more musically talented than Rach even though I love some of Rachs work as well. There is just something about Prokofiev that is out of this world. Hate to compare but they were active during roughly the same time and Prokofiev just had a very fresh different new take on music, while I feel Rachmaninoff was perfecting the romantic music we already know, but with less originality.
From a pure pianistic point of view, Rachmaninov's music has much more to offer. To me, Prokofiev's music feels a bit like it's "deliberately constructed". Rachmaninov is just flow, flow and more flow. I do like both composers a lot.
rachmaninoff was a romantic composer prokofiev was something completely new (contemporary) imo Rachmaninoff is the peak of romanticism. Prokofiev is chopin of contemporary music imo So you're right Prokofiev was definitely something new
@@aidanm.1683 but not only was he something new because of the new style (modernism) but also because his own musical vision is quite different to many other modernists. Most modernists are very different to eachother, for example Bartok, Ravel, Shostakovich and Prokofiev sound completely different when compared to eachother. So Prokofiev isnt just a modernist, his own unique musical vision was incredibly strong and unique. A prime example of this is his third piano concerto. So argument being that i feel that Prokofiev is more unique and original of course compared to modernists than rachmaninoff is compared to other romantic composers.
you may prefer it, however, prokofiev is incredibly incompetent at writing harmony and melody, nevermind form. his first concerto is objectively bad in almost every aspect. being more original may make it easier for you to emotionally attach yourself to the piece, but other than that, it is completely worthless. Rach's 1st concerto is amazing, prokofiev's is a mistake.
@@specialperson335 unique this, unique that. he'a not good. he needs to be good for hisnuniqueness to matter, most of the time, what makes him "unique" is musical mistakes.
Keep playing it. It will grow on you. All 4 of his concertos are terrific and while critics and customers both have plugged 2 and 3 over the years, 1 and 4 have plenty of great ideas, expositions, etc to go around the room. I love 'em all. I do tend to agree with those who like the revised version but the original is very nice too. If you come across it don't pass it by. 4 also exists in a revised version but again the original is very nice too.
9:29 This violin solo part is amazing...
I feel the same
violin solos in the middle of an orchestral piece feel so expressive - they have a real singing quality:)
@@DanielVodenitcharov beautifully said
Should anyone be wondering, the orchestra is the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, and the conductor is Bryden Thomson.
This concerto is underrated!
It's actually one of his best rated concertos. Totally still underplayed
@@andrewmowatt6188 I thought many people back when Rachmaninoff had performed this piece had very low opinions on it.

@@Pianistunckiran and I think Grieg was inspired by Schumann :-D
this is a certified Piano Concerto No. 1 in F# Minor by Sergei Rachmaninoff moment
So nice to hear this instead of 2 and 3 over and over again.
Grieg's A minor Concerto served as the model for the original version of this Concerto: in fact, the Grieg was Rachmaninoff's favorite Piano Concerto. The original version of the Rachmaninoff has been recorded.
The Grieg!
Bro what?!

My best love of all Rachmaninoff piano concertos.

Wow, that’s a strenuous piece for the orchestra as well as the soloist.
ラフマニノフのピアノ協奏曲て4曲それぞれ独特の雰囲気あってすごい
The revision of the concerto gives it a supreme equilibrium, which can be encountered in each movement. The rendition is very beautiful.
this rendition is outstanding in most places for sure
Truly underrated.
This is definitely my all time favorite piano concerto
Ah, Rach! Sublime yearning at its best in this concerto!

It is PERFECT!!!
Rachmaninoff is amazing the sound and harmony is passion
Howard Shelley has an affinity for Rachmaninoff's music that transcends criticism.

Antony Gonzalez huh? What he said was grammatically perfect.
@@antonygonzalez9506 the sentence was fine lmaooo
So incredible - thanks for sharing!
very good!!!! Great pianism which fits perfect to this music
25:57 "meow mix" theme lol
I see so many similarities between all four of his Concerti.
Rachmaninoff has a very particuliar tone and colour
@@edwardmalenfant7547 he was quite repetitive. He also revised too much, so that many pieces lack freshness
Thanks for uploading!

at 7:25 begins saint saens concerto 2 mov 3
It’s also where Lieberman got his idea for the last movement of Garogoyles.
idk why piano 2 sounds like a trumpet or something else
Howard Shelley is the best
The beast
The beginning is very Grieg-like. I dunno, maybe it's just me.
The orchestra reminds me to the start of the Grand polonaise Brillante
ikr

It seems a bit more jazzy, but I found it really fresh :)
@@roo159 This was written in 1891, so if you think its sound jazzy then jazz might sound like rachmaninoff to you.
