  • Hermann Goetz (1840-1876)
    Piano Concerto No. 1 in E-flat Major (1861)
    Andante - Allegro - Adagio - Tempo I (Allegro)
    Volker Banfield, piano
    Radio-Philharmonie Hannover des NDR
    Werner Andreas Albert, conductor
    Hermann Gustav Goetz (December 7, 1840 -- December 3, 1876) was a German composer.
    Goetz was born in Königsberg, then in East Prussia. After studying in Berlin, he moved to Switzerland in 1863. After ten years spent as a critic, pianist and conductor as well, he spent the last three years of his life composing. The conductor Felix Weingartner found it "incomprehensible that his delightful opera comique, Der Widerspanstigen Zähmung, should have entirely disappeared from the repertoire." Another great admirer of Goetz's compositions was George Bernard Shaw, who praised Goetz's Symphony in F above anything in the genre by Mendelssohn, Schumann, and Brahms.
    Goetz, the son of a salesman, came into contact with music early in his life. However, he did not receive his first serious piano lesson until 1857 - although he already had begun to compose some years before. At the end of the 1850s, he began to study for a degree in mathematics, but broke this off after three terms to study at the Stern Conservatory in Berlin, where he studied piano and composition with Hans von Bülow. In 1862 he successfully graduated from the conservatory.
    The following year, Goetz was appointed as city organist of Winterthur in Switzerland (thanks to the assistance of Carl Reinecke), where he taught the piano and began to make his name as a composer. In 1868 he married, and two years later moved to the village of Hottingen, today a suburb of Zurich, but remained employed in Winterthur until 1872. Between 1870 and 1874, he wrote reviews for a music magazine.
    In the last years of his life, Goetz had to withdraw from teaching and concert performance due to the increasing seriousness of his tuberculosis, from which he had suffered from the 1850s and from which he would eventually die, aged 35, at Hottingen.
    The Piano Concerto No. 1 was composed for his final examination at the Stern Conservatory, and was never published. It is cast in a single movement, which follows the general layout of a sonata structure with a slow introduction which includes extensive recitative-like cadenzas for the soloist, and a central Adagio in B Major replacing the customary development. Towards the end of the concerto there is another, more elaborate solo cadenza before the ravishing secondary theme enters in the clarinet to herald the scintillating coda, which is based on a transformation of the principal theme.

    The most beautiful work of Goetz in my opinion is his Piano Trio

    I'm not hearing very much influence of of Mozart or Mendelssohn here. This sounds pretty much like a mid-romantic piano concerto to me. His 2nd concerto is similar this this one in style. Very fine concertos.

    I don't know why, hard to explain, but I found Cabassi's version warmer, more beautiful.

      I have that problem occasionally. It appears to be random. Try again later. I'm pretty sure that there may be some kind of security shield around certain videos imposed by YT, or maybe there is something in your firewall that is preventing you from downloading it. YT is well known for harboring viruses, and it may be that certain videos get contaminated and are temporarily quarantined until they can be cleaned up.
