Carl Loewe (30 November 1796 -- 20 April 1869) was a German composer, baritone singer and conductor.
Work: Piano Concerto No.2 in A-major
Mov.I: Allegro maestoso 00:00
Mov.II: Espaniola andante grazioso 10:53
Mov.III: Rondo vivace 18:47
Pianist: Eva Kupiec
Orchestra: Orchestre National de Lorraine
Conductor: Jacques Houtmann
Among so many concerts that sound like the trivial version of the sound of greater composers' works, this concert has got some fresh oddities which make it original, lovely and worthwhile listening to.
Again a gain this posting. Carl Loewe was a composer who deserved far more publicity!
Besides being a singer and conductor he was also a heckuva pianist. He was the soloist in the premiere of this concerto, and played 2nd piano in a performance of Mendelssohn's 2nd 2-piano Concerto (the one in A-flat) in 1827, with the composer playing 1st piano.
Meraviglioso concerto; Pianista bravissima; Secondo tempo grazioso e piacevole.
Good piece. When this was written most concerti were to show off the personal style of the composer/pianist. This succeed well. Loewe was incredibly popular and did quite well as singer, pianist and conductor and composer. He was especially favored by several royal courts- Sweden, Norway, and when in England Prince Albert was his page turner. For the ballads it helps to know German- the texts and musical effects a single unit. The ballad format that Schubert also liked, is a type of lieder that tells a complete story and this is where Loewe truly excels. His ability to change a mood or express intense feeling with one or two words is truly amazing. Thanks for posting.
Questo è un concerto pienamente romantico,incluso l'intermezzo' centrale.Trovo ottima l'orchestrazione. Dopo aver ascoltato le sue due sinfonie,anch'esse molto interessanti,devo concludere che questo compositore ha talento è merita di essere maggiormente conosciuto.
Un grazie a KD2 per questo ottimo caricamento.
Love it
The second movement is like a cup of icecream on a mild summer evening
Delightful!
Very good concerto. Some of the first movement reminds me of William Sterndale Bennett. I really like the slow movement with its very lyrical melodies. The last movement really goes out with a big, dramatic sound.
A long time ago, I used to buy Penguin books simply because Penguin only published well written and groundbreaking books. I feel that you're rather like that with lesser known Classical and Romantic composers. Thank you
Carl Loewe is known only as a writer of ballads for voice and piano, a work in which he excelled - this has to be recognized here: the ballads of Carl Loewe should be better known and more often sung. . But his skills in composition are more large than that. Here, we have his excellent second concerto for piano. The dialog between the soloist and the orchestra is well balanced. All is beautiful in that concerto, but the central slow movement is particularly moving. The part of the soloist is not so virtuoso - much less demanding, for instance, than a Beethoven's concerto. This concerto would deserve to be better known and played in our concert halls. The same applies to the first concerto for piano and to his two beautiful symphonies.
Very interesting. By the way, how do you feel about "Gesegnet Soll Sie Schreiten"?
@Gérard Begni What do you know about Loewe's "first" Piano Concerto? As far as I know, it got completely lost in World War II
First movement a bit too much Czerny 'School of Velocity' but the Espaniola, very nice and prevailed.
Many thanks for posting this!
This concerto certainly has its moments, and serves well as a vehicle for virtuosic display. The work generally lacks the gravitas and sophisticated singing style of Beethoven and Mozart and goes its own way, even though it remains clearly in the Neoclassical tradition. Its "Spanish" movement, though not particularly Spanish in character, exudes an infectious charm and recalls the still emergent romantic fascination with national color and exoticism. All in all a very effective work which, though not profound, makes for a most entertaining half hour of listening. Loewe is definitely a composer worth getting to know better.
Un concerto quasiment inconnu. Très agréable à écouter ! Dommage que cette oeuvre soit si peu jouée ...!
So beautiful - the music and performance.

Beautiful ! Thanks for posting :)

Hay tantos buenos conciertos para piano, como éste, el de Raff, el de Tomasec, el citado de Bennet, y otros tantos tantos que la lista sería interminable, sin embargo uno a veces se pregunta el porqué se insiste en los conciertos en vivo o videos siempre con los mismos por demás conocidos, creo que los propios directores de los teatros, los directores o los solistas no los llevan al gran auditorio que muchas veces conoce aquellos pero no estos que son verdaderas obras de arte, quizá no tan excelsas, pero siempre hermosas. Y otro tanto pasa con los de violín.....en fin, quizá a través de este medio algún músico tome la posta........
+Carlos Francisco Lijoi Cárcano estoy de acuerdo, mas que nada la estructura esta bien hecha...sin emb
+Adan Ayup sin embargo los que escuchado me parecen una imitacion a los maestros como este me suena al estilo parecido al tercero de Beethoven, asi como los conciertos de Ries, uno de sus alumnos, ¿No te parece? otra razon podria ser la dificultad para acceder a estos materiales, las edtioriales que rentan a las orquestas normalemente tienen los repertorios que normalmente ya saben que las orquestas les van a rentar.
+Adan Ayup coincido Adan, pero tanto en la música popular como en la clásica, hay estilos que se repiten, estructuras que se instalaron, hasta frases enteras o motivos que lo hacen, sin ir más lejos no recuerdo en cual sinfonía de schubert creo o de shumann hay una coincidencia instrumental y de construcción con tchaicovski que parece que la hubieran escrito juntos........... fijate cuantos juicios de pagio hay en la historia de la música popular, es como que ya no se puede inventar una frase melódica "original".........es como que se acabaron las combinaciones posibles.........de todos modos en lo medular coincido absolutamente con tu apreciación......... el tema de las editoriales no lo tenía entre mis datos...........ahora caigo........pero que desperdicio, el gran público respondería quizá mucho más favorablemente si le dieran oportunidad de escuchar a estos otros grandes maestros que a los de siempre, honestamente yo preferiría escuchar alguno de esos conciertos en vivo que cualquiera de los otros porque ya hasta me están sobrando versiones.......... cordial saludo
Estimado: es bastante acertado lo que dice el otro comentarista, no se accede tan fácilmente a las partituras de autores desconocidos. Hace un par de años estrenamos en Argentina la "Misa Votiva" de Zelenka........no tiene idea ud. de todo lo que tuvo que hacer el director para conseguir las partes (y el tiempo que demandó la respuesta afirmativa para cedérselas para la ejecución).
De lo otro -que sigue siendo magnífico- hay partes en toda la internet.
saludos
Pása lo mismo con Carl Czerny es el compositor con más obras sobre pasa las 10 mil y prefieren tocar Chopin, Chopin le debe los nocturnos a Czerny
卡尔·洛伊: a大调第二钢琴协奏曲
04:36 I could hear Chopin.
Please watch this at the lowest quality only (144p) since it's just for the music, which is much more ecologically responsible than at a higher rate. Watching this at 240p (which is unnecessary for listening purposes), will increase the bandwith by double to almost tenfold! At 1080 the bandwith is augmented by a factor of 100!
The use of digital technology accounts for 4% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, as much as the emissions from the world's truck fleet. Of that, a BIG part comes from livestreaming videos, mainly 3 sources : UA-cam, Netflix and porn.
Let's enjoy this beautiful music by being aware and responsible, doing our little part in decreasing our carbon footprint and protecting this wonderful planet for the generations to come.
Anthropogenic climate change is a lie promoted for the sake of making ordinary working people poor and enslaved. I will use all the bandwidth I see fit.
Why repertoires do not include these composers who are good in their own right, instead of driving us crazy always with the same repertoires all over the world ????? I know that Mozart, Beethoven, Grieg, Chopin, Schumann etc etc wrote wonderful concertos, but they are so widely and permanently played that we will end up by hating them!!!!!! Repertoires should be interspersed with other composers´ works who also wrote important things like Czerny, Hummel, Moskowsky, and thousands of others who are never played and are practically unkown !!!!!!
Carl Loewe genießt leider nicht die Bedeutung die im, unter Zugrundelegung seines Schaffens, zustehen würde! Besondere Bedeutung genießt er allerdings mit seinem Liedschaffen, das oft bedeutende geschichtliche Bezüge, bzw. Persönlichkeiten beschreibt!
Way too many notes, enuff stuff in there for 1/2 dozen concertos… interesting!
He's got some amazing passages… awesome, but too much and poor development!
I respect your vision, but I do not share it. The thematic is not redundant, there are two themes, which are not deveoped too much.The second movement is even based on a main theme, which occurs many tmes.
