Tchaikovsky could well have published the Concert Fantasia as his 3rd Piano Concerto... Many other composers concertos conform less to the standard three movement structure than the Concert Fantasia. That would push what's now known as his 3rd Piano Concerto to the 4th position (and that concerto's gestation is a whole story unto itself!). Tchaikovsky hit such a jackpot with his celebrated 1st Piano Concerto that it has always overshadowed his piano concerted works which follow -- to me, his 2nd Piano Concerto is a close rival to his 1st. And the Concert Fantasia is doubly handicapped by not having the full rank of "concerto". It certainly has the beautiful themes and length to qualify being called "concerto".
Great performance of yet another beautiful and complex work of Tchaikovsky! Having listened to the first two piano concertos of Tchaikovsky hundreds of times, I was blown away when I first heard Concert Fantasia nearly 40 years ago. The style and melodic development seem different than his other two concertos. Sublimely beautiful melodies are complex and sound enigmatic and wistfully futuristic. In fact, I could relate bits of the score's mood and style to some works of French and Russsian composers of 20th century. But rest assured that Tchaikovsky's soul and capricious fury emerges now and then; especially at coda starting at 32:38, bringing this masterpiece to a breathtaking conclusion.
Beautiful work. I enjoyed the integration of piano and Orchestra. Having expressed himself magnificently with 2 piano concertos, I feel that Tchaikovsky was approaching this work in a slightly different manner. I have long admired this work, as with most of his output
Mr. Rashit Nigamatullin is literally the only conductor that I have seen in video performances who conducts in a way that I can follow. He has an upward ictus, and I was taught to use downward (generally). I can live with it though. Other conductors are just mysteries to me.
Eu gostei, e diferente e muito bom de ouvir, nao conhecia o pianista, mas agora eu o conheço, interpretaçao surpreendente, e a primeira vez que eu escuto a fantasia acima, adorei., parabens, obrigado por postar.
@@Egobaldo It is true that this work is not among the best of Tchaikovsky but it is no less true that there are wonderful passages in it, especially in the second movement. An example is the transition between the first theme and the second where the new theme only manages to prevail the third time it try. I don't know of any other work by Tchaikovsky where something similar appears. Another magical moment occurs when in the re-exposition of the first theme, the second appears on the piano at the same time, as a counterpoint to the first. This concert fantasy is composed in the same spirit that the Suite number 3 op. 55.
If Tchaikovsky's response to Rubenstein's criticism of the 1st Piano Concerto reflects Tchaikovsky's attitude, I would think the word "patchy" would light him up in regards to this piece. LOL! He might have been too self critical but from the little I know of him he didn't do well with criticism.
I agree. It's full of magnificent ideas, especially the endless cadenza. Pity as it could have been a triumphant piano concerto. I guess he had other masterpieces to knock out. To think that people used to sneer and look down their noses at him!
Interesting quip. Since it came before the Nutcracker, how could it be ripping it off? Also, how does it mimic or foreshadow Tchaikovsky's last ballet. I have listened to the Nutcracker constantly for over 40 years and don't see any rip-off moments. There is a flute solo in the beginning just like in the ballet's overture; is that it?
So boring.Ovchinikov has always been a fascinating pianist but why learn this balloned upnothing!Many composers write one violin or one piano concerto and never write a 2nd.Piotr wrote 3 and this too - but none of them are wellknown besides the unbelievable No.1.No.2 is not bad and its slowmov is unforgettable but this ConcertFantasia sounds like so many other lateRomanticScharwenka ,Martucci all5SaintSaens are terrific.there are hundreds of them and many are more interesting than this.
18:20 II. Contrastes. Andante cantabile -- molto vivace.
Lovely, lovely music.

A Tchaikovsky le gustaba componer para el piano y la orquesta. Lo dice en sus cartas.
23:00 absolute masterpiece.
Слушаю первый раз, нравится. Сложно, красиво, звучно. Прекрасное произведение и исполнение. Достойное
мастеров. Спасибо. Привет из Киева.
Macho Gracias por que commit

Liked it.
I imagine Sunday evening this music.It is wonderful.

This piece of music is just like a piano concerto.
Lovely.
Another one of Thaik's greatest melodies, and here played sooo romantically! 03:07

Adorável ler comentários em português em vídeos do gênero!
Fabuloso!
I still insist this is not one of Tchaikovsky's best works.
what do you apologise for?
EXCELENTE

Enjoyed it very much only minor point are with the two flutists, the opening bars were noticeably out of time.
Walt Disney was awesome and brilliant man. He used Mickey mouse very cleverly.

Notice how dead still the musicians seem while piano is played!!!
Troppo lento.troppe pause.legato inesistente.violoncello inespressivo.mah!
No. I still think this is a very patchy work, definitely not one of his best.

You can go away and listen Brahms Hungarian Dance number 5, oh no, I didn't remember that he stole it from Kela Beler.
