I saw this performed live in Utah. It was great!
Price is remarkable. What a beautiful piece. Thank you for uploading this.
The South Bend Symphony is playing this on 4/2/22. Incidentally the cellos have two parts: cello 1 and cello 2! Can’t wait to play it. Michelle Cann will be the piano soloist. Also on the program is William Dawson Negro Symphony and A Joyous Trilogy by Quinn Mason.
Very beautiful concerto! A special rarity, deserves be more played!
When I listen to Florence Beatrice Price, I hear America.
in the last movement, yes. Mostly it seems rooted in the Austro-German tradition.
@@MorganHayes_Composer.Pianist austro-german tradition ??? What a strange idea...
@@pilouetmissiou a reality as that’s where lots of people studied composition. Charles Ives was one of the first US composers to break away from this .
I think this is beautiful!! The first time I was able to hear her music was over the pandemic. The more I listened the more I liked 🤩
What a delight! The Boston Symphony played lots of her music and that's how I listened to more and more of her music. What fun! This is a keeper for my library!
After contacting the pianist, I learned that the orchestra is the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.
And that interests whom?
@@Nogah100 Those of use who want to know this kind of thing.
@@Nogah100 you know it does no good being an asshole. If it doesn’t interest you then don’t bother with it
Can you tell me who the soloist is?,I cannot find any recording of this with BBC NOW orchestra.
@@lawrencecody9316 Sophia Rahman who I emailed and received a response.
Captivating. I’m new to Florence Price and look forward to hearing more...
Wat mooi, bedankt Florence💕
While I have some idiosyncratic qualms with the overall structure, the material in here is magnificent! As with any other entry in her output, Price pens at least one passage which absolutely floors me.
To be specific: 3:20-5:24 and 8:21-8:56 is some of the best music I've ever heard.
As an aside, I know there are timestamps in the description, but to enhance the visibility:
I. Moderato @ 0:00
II. Adagio @ 8:21
III. Allegretto @ 14:07
Florence Price is overwhelmed. Your expressed opinion has made her day.
Agreed. The spirituals segment is elucidation
Chill Brah. She rocks.
Thank you for posting this great performance!
A very fine performance of a beautiful concerto, better than the one on the Albany Records CD, imho. Btw, for those interested, I uploaded on my channel three rare orchestral works of Florence Price...
One thing I've noticed conspicuously absent from all this renewed interest in her works is chamber music. I'm sure she must have composed at least SOME, but all I've found are the string quartets.
Oh, man, what an incredible Florence Price renaissance we have been having on UA-cam! This has been *wonderful* !! America's very own - I hope we deserve this. We've had in our midst a serious composer of the highest order- like a Debussy Schubert Ravel Jazz composer. Someone who's sheer brilliance cut through the stupid race bullshit that she unfortunately had to deal with. She was able to just swat that aside, because music like this simply *can't* be repressed.
masterpiece with an impressive folk-style melody. It sounds like Japanese folk music.
Lovely music!
This is a nice little gem. My day is better for this!
I don’t think a pianoconcerto is a “little” gem.
Wonderful
The orchestration was reconstructed by Trevor Weston. No extant copy of the composer's original orchestral score has been found, as of yet.
Actually, this is old news.
They recently found some original orchestral parts (sometime in 2018 or 2019, so several years after Weston made this reconstruction we hear) belonging to this piece: www.classicfm.com/music-news/florence-price-composer-manuscripts-discovered/ and www.wisemusicclassical.com/features/florence-price-original-manuscripts/. They said that these would be published in March 2020, and sure enough, they are now available through G. Schirmer: www.wisemusicclassical.com/work/60868/Piano-Concerto-in-One-Movement-original-version--Florence-Price/.
So far, based on comparing this recording with the original version, Weston seems to have done a great job capturing her style and intentions at most parts, but Price's original version has several more elaborate flourishes and soloistic parts in the orchestra. Of course, Weston would've never known about any of these from a mere piano reduction. It also appears that her scoring is much more subtle and lighter overall. But not always. For instance, the climax up to 5:50 is massive in her original version, and instead of just ending with some brass hits, the original has a sustain for the whole orchestra at fortissimo, with the whole orchestra instead of primarily brass.
Ahhh as an oboist and pianist, one thing I love about the original is that, the spiritual, intimate section from 8:56 to 10:46 is actually originally an oboe solo alone with piano (with some very minimal string stuff at the very end).
@@jonaskatona7136 Are there any plans to perform and record the original?
@@JAMESLEVEE there are plans to perform it in early February 2021 somewhere in Texas, but I'm not sure if that'll be recorded, unfortunately. However, in June 2021, it will be conducted by Dudamel and performed by the LA Phil with Aaron Diehl as the soloist. I'm sure that the latter will be recorded, even if the first one might not be.
@@jonaskatona7136 any updates regarding this? Texas as of now, looks like venezuela ..
MN Orchestra is playing 7/16 and 17!!
03:30
Does anyone know if there is a second piano part for this?
I've seen two different people play it so far but I have not got a clue where they got it from. There is Samantha Ege playing a version here though: ua-cam.com/video/iDZEdFgMBYw/v-deo.html&ab_channel=SamanthaEge-Topic
This concerto sounds very late 19th century but never the less a good listen. Thks for sharing.
Someone knows if there is a reduction of the orquestra?? A concerto for two pianos??
Orchestra credit please? It sounds like there is one?
Where can I find the sheet of this concerto?!! Or where can I buy It??
You can rent it from Schirmer. I don't know that it's available for purchase.
