So unfortunate that only this movement has been discovered... incredible that anything from 1932 should exist! Fingers crossed that an archivist will discover the remaining movements... terrific performance!
Pre Hitler superb orchestra and fantastic soloist in full flow. It is ghostly somewhere and realistic too of the power musicians had back than, Petri is unsurpassed in this! It is a miracle.
Amazing to hear this marvellous performance by a great Busoni disciple and to think that the composer had only died eight years earlier and would have been still a fresh influence.It would be fantastic to hear the rest of the work. Thank you so much for posting this.
Extraordinary playing, I love the way he simply throws himself so fearlessly and passionately into the music and gives 100% of himself. What young pianists could learn from his teaching today! I wonder if Peter Donohoe was aware of this recording when he was learning the concerto himself, his Proms performance sounds cut from the same cloth. It's no wonder he was a great inspiration to Ogdon and I wish he had persuaded Wild to learn it in 1934 when he was Wild's teacher. Thank you so much for sharing this precious performance.
Yes, this is a wonderful find...........if this were a first hearing by anyone who didn't know anything about Busoni, it sure wouldn't give the impression of a speculative and cerebral composer in the outskirt suburbs of the traditional repertoire!
Petri hated the recording studio such that few of his recordings are representative of his talent. After a series of recitals in Moscow the audience was so excited that they carried him out of the hall on their shoulders cheering!
Makes every other performance of this concerto movement I've heard sound tepid and polite. This is demonic, dionysiac, and Mephistophilean -- Busonian, in a word. The orchestra and Rosbaud give as good as Petri.

This is insane by all means considering the soloist, orchestra and conductor for the time 1932.And the sound technicians too!
Utterly MAGNIFICENT!!

Phenomenal! I never knew this existed. Is this the only movement recorded?
Yes unfortunately. John Ogden really brought it out.
TERRIFIC!
