    My father had this piece of music, and I adored it. I remember once having a chest infection and running a high temperature. I was in bed, and it was a warm summer evening, and this music was going through my head until I drifted off to sleep! My father was sat with me the whole time. I was about 8 years old. Thanks Dad for all you did! 🙏🙏🙏

    Il Concerto di Varsavia, di Richard Addinsell, uno dei doni più belli e preziosi che l'uomo abbia ricevuto... Mi riporta indietro nel tempo: ai miei 18 anni. Grazie di cuore per questo meraviglioso risveglio! Ore 6:00 antimeridiane del 22 marzo 2024.

    I learned to play this wonderful piece of music when I was young. My Father (Frank Reidy) was a friend of the composer and played (Clarinet) in the orchestra during the recording of the score for the film Dangerous Moonlight. I cannot listen to it without crying. This performance was truly excellent for such a young pianist. Very moving indeed. Francesco Reidy London 2011.

    Today, 65 years ago I played the Warsaw Concerto in a final contest in Friesland - Bolsward - on a modest piano, but in a wonderfull setting on a small podium in a park lake with fountains all around. Yes, I won, and a free trip to Paris for a week, just before I went for military obligations at the Dutch Marine a week later. This piano piece always opens my mind to World War II crimes to people in Warshaw, which in my whole life does not find a place for mercy to .. your know who...

    Such a beautiful and haunting piece of music. Rarely does music feed the soul as does this extraordinary classic. My father was Polish and whenever we walked into a certain club, the pianist would instantly play the Warsaw Concerto in honour of my father and all the other Poles who risked their lives fighting for this country. To the day my father died, he still had nazi shrapnel in his legs, which he got fighting at El Alemein and Monte Cassino.

    This is an engaging rendition of the Warsaw Concerto, the most significant instrumental work written in England during the war, still conjuring up a time and place better than any other piece.

    I cannot play this piece enough. It captures the heartbreak of war and is exquisite. Warsaw was truly desecrated yet there was always hope.

      Possibly influenced by Spike Milligan's description of it as "the Bloody Awful Warsaw Concerto". This description probably coloured by constant requests for it, as well as repetitions on radio, in 1941. Overexposure will generate antipathy. And of course, some people just don't like classical music.

    I am a violist in an amateur orchestra and a violinist in a Church Music Group. Never had the opportunity to accompany a soloist playing this work, alas. Years ago on the radio there was an April Fool's Day joke about this piece- renamed the Walsall Concerto! I live near Walsall, so understand the connection! Very funny.

    The movie is actually very interesting musically... there are several scenes where the pianist 'improvises' different themes not heard in the final cut of the concerto; an interesting insight into Richard Addinsell's sketches

    • @jonrosen7980
      @jonrosen7980 4 роки тому +2

      Mostly because it isn't a full concerto. Its only 10 minutes long. Addinsall only wrote 1 movement for the film and recorded various versions for different parts of the film. So you never really realize that in the film its not complete. I think people who don't like it feel that way because in effect it is a Rachmaninoff parody.. Sounds like something LIberace would have played..

      @sifridbassoon 6 років тому +2

      Oh I agree! and the bad part of it is that the exposed parts are generally easy-ish. It's the parts where the piano is just accompanying the orchestra where the really nightmare licks are (as I recall). Although, I suppose that's really a good thing. If the orchestra is playing over you, no one will know if you miss a note here or there. But it's harder than it sounds, and absolutely more harder than it really needs to be.
      Then again, the main melody is such an ear worm. Once you get it in your head, you can't get rid of it.

    Addinsel was definitely paying homage to Rachmaninoff with this beautiful piece. Rachmaninoff was offered the job (and refused) to score for the 1941 movie "Dangerous Moonlight." Addensell was brought in and told to score this film in a Rachmaninoff style. Addinsell complied and thus we have the very Rachmaninoff lush and beautiful themes running throughout this composition.

    • @konradx498
      @konradx498 3 роки тому +2

      Yes. Fabulous piece. Addisell was British, but his concerto is very “Hollywoodesque,” in the style of Sergei Rachmaninoff, who was born near Novgorod, Russia. Two years after the movie “Dangerous Moonlight” was released, Rachmaninoff died in Beverly Hills CA, right next to Hollywood, where I was born and raised. So many memories.
