intoxicating , powerful music amazing that hardly anyone knows the composer Kattnigg and the Piano Concerto. And the excellent pianist Hans Kann, - unfortunately both dead - Many thanks to both posthumously and of course to Corentin Boissier
Superb work. Kattnigg was some time Principal of the Innsbruck Conservertoire as well as being conductor of the Innsbruck Symphony Orchestra. he was a composer and musician of many talents.
A passionate performance... you wouldn't even notice it's scored for a small orchestra (2fl,2ob,2bn,2hn,2tp,tim,piano,strings) considering how powerful the orchestral part sounds. There are some cuts. A part before the trio section in the 2nd mvt and a large part of that trio are cut. Also in 3rd mvt four quieter variations were omitted.
Wow! I haven't had so much fun hearing a piano concerto since I first heard Khatchaturian's many years ago. I can imagine Kattnigg having fun composing it. Perhaps he was giving tribute to (or making fun of?) the likes of Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev, etc.; in any case, it worked; it's a delightful and exhilarating concerto.
Undecided between being by nature a virtuoso and a composer ? Yet not a piece of youth by certain and unless I´m seriously incorrect, I identified "personal cards" of Strawinsky, Prokofiev and eventually Bartok. Interesting enough tosearch for more.
I restate what I said when 1musikpensionnear first posted this concerto a year ago (I do not know whether it is the same version): this concerto is very intriguing but after many hearings I cannot decide whether it is an excessive and formless work or an innovative masterpiece. I would tend tend to say that it is a little bit of both.
VERY GOOD WORK I HEARD ON 5 APRIL 2OI9.SEARCHING YOU TUBE FOR DISGUSTINGLY NEGLECTED EXCELLENT MUSICAL WORKS, WHILST TEMP BEDRIDDEN AFTER LOSING BOTH LOWER LEGS, DUE TO YEARS OF MENTAL AND PHYSICAL ABUSE BY MY FATHER TAKING IT OUT ON ME, HE BEING INJURED & LOST A FRIEND ON MINE IN 1939 - 45 WAR. A CONSULTANT CONFIRMED THAT ALL THE SEVERE ANXIETY, GRIEF, NERVES, STRESS, TENSION AND TRAUMA CAUSED BAD CIRCULATION AND HENCE THE AMPUTATIONS. I CAN NOT FIND THDE URGENTLY NEED FUNDS FOR A PRIVATE PROSTHETICS HOSPITAL, TO REGAIN MY MOBILTY, UNLAWFULLLY RFOBBED FROM ME BY THE ENGLISH GOVERMENT VIA THE WAR. I HAVE LIUTTLE CHANCE OF THE N H S PROVIDING THE NEEED TREATMENT WITH ELABORATE SAFE RFELIABLE PROSTHETICS. NORTH EAST LONDON, UK.
Inventive and certainly has nothing to do with the romantic stuff of Rachmaninoff . Strident and too often sounds like a filmscore . The opening sounds like he heard both of Ravel's concerti and Honegger's playfulness but it doesn't have their class and the tawdry fluff at the end of 2 minute really made me want to get it out of my system by going to Bartok no.1 .Now thart's classy music with imagination and something to say . Put this in the bin with Britten concerto and the flashy oncetime performed brittle candy written since 1910. Hoddinot knows howto give us lightness without becoming cheap . I'll have to hear te 2nd and 3rd mov. The orchestration shows knowledge but we all can get that . Menotti wrote a fantastic sorta light concerto worth hearing . Milhaud and Kattnigg don't give me what I want at all .
Well, e.g. Trapp and Hessenberg were perhaps Nazis (I don't know, some do claim not in the latter case...) but I find some of their music memorable- I assume you are not claiming a causal connection. :)
It's true what peterlunow writes, too many forceful and overstylized ideas that make a formless mess. Kattnigg is not a classical or modern composer but an Austrian operetta-composer who also tried his luck in classical forms like these. He ist known for his faschist political opinions, true, but an NS-composer he cannot be called in Vienna of 1934. A real NS-composer is Carl Orff for instance, his Carmina Burana being a commission for the cultural programme of the 1936 Olympic Games.
I hear a composer (gifted without a doubt)but lost in his search for authenticity. Overwrought ,not one original thought, I'm sorry....One of the many ,many composers who couldnt find their own voice.
intoxicating , powerful music
amazing that hardly anyone knows the composer Kattnigg and the Piano Concerto. And the excellent pianist Hans Kann, - unfortunately both dead - Many thanks to both posthumously and of course to Corentin Boissier
Superb work. Kattnigg was some time Principal of the Innsbruck Conservertoire as well as being conductor of the Innsbruck Symphony Orchestra. he was a composer and musician of many talents.
Super piece of music. Really enjoyed listening to it. Thks for sharing.
A mixture of surrealist and romantic. Interesting to listen to.
A passionate performance... you wouldn't even notice it's scored for a small orchestra (2fl,2ob,2bn,2hn,2tp,tim,piano,strings) considering how powerful the orchestral part sounds.

Various influences can be felt in this enigmatic beautiful concert and intelligently connected.
What a masterpiece
Många tack
❤❤❤ lovely melody and orchestration
This is one hell of amazing piece!!!!
Fantastic ❤
Promising!
Bravo! A romantic twentieth century concerto for piano and orchestra that is nor part of the hundreds of disposable imitations of Rachmaninoff.
Even Seghei Prokofiev
Wonderful composer. One of his works was "The Rhine Maidens".
thanks!

Humoresque, ludic, oniric
Masterpiece.
A real mixture of styles.
What is the orchestra here, please?
thanx Pogo for reccommending this :-)
Bom canal. Está faltando o nome da Orquestra!
rare piece

All of them + the composer himself

Syncretic
So-🤔an excessive and formless masterpiece then?!
These blody intelectuals with their empty words. Excellent work.

Better to be overwrought than barely audible.

Mussorgsky vizualism

Who cares what political parties they belong to or voted for. How does that affect their brilliance?
Not a piece I'd want to return to for 2nd listen

BUT AN EXCSLLENT SWORK ANDA LONG WAY BETTER THAN THE LATE 20TH AND EARLY 21ST T CENTURY CRAP.
Peter Lunow poor you...
@@peterbuckley265early 21st century's music is beautiful too. Your just limiting your taste to talented artists.
Anyway I like to hear and enjoy it
@@peterbuckley265 exacly: serialism, dodecafonism, cacofonism, afonism......haha....
