So many great Russian composers and artists from this generation. To think, Rubinstein had just started the Russian Musical Society and Moscow Conservatory a few decades before and produced so many great figures in classical music in a short period when such institutions had existed in Europe for hundreds of years. Definitely going to explore more of Lyapunov's works.
This is terrific stuff--a real classic piano concerto from the late 19th century. All it lacks is a great melody to carry it to the hall of fame. Lyapunov was a very talented fellow but has lurked in the shadows for more than a century. Boy, this classical music business is a tough arena.
An absolutely beautiful and charming concert piece. The concerto is a wonderful Lisztian homage; characteristic virtuosic piano writing, with its form comprised of interconnected themes variedly transfigured-introduced by valiant and striking cadenzas-showing the prominent use of thematic transformation to make the concerto a one-movement piece, very reminiscent to how Liszt’s own Second Piano Concerto is. Very fascinating.
agree the first thing I picked up on was the slow movement in the beginning and how well it transitioned to the allegro molto ed appassionato , which is so reminiscent to the adagio sostenuto assai transitioning to the allegro agitato assai
@jerry_moo Yes indeed, Lyapunov clearly admired and was inspired by Liszt. But to LazlosPlane, who thinks its greater than anything Liszt wrote, that just expresses ignorance. Liszt’s broad and miraculous innovations are practically unmatched in all of music history. Who else was a leader of their own era (Romantic era), and invented two future genres, (namely impressionism and atonal)? The answer; no one. Period!
Vers La Flamme is a piano piece by Scriabin, isn't it? And this PC is wonderful. Decades ago I recorded it on a Cassette. I recognized it at once. Wow.
I dont like his first concerto at all ,but this one is a jewel! too bad that the soloist and orchestra are not first rate: dynamics, phrasing are rough and careless and no connection between soloist and orchestra. What a pity
@@greggi331 Having listened to it (again?) I agree. My comment certainly did not relate to the No1 of this composer. But, checking back on my 'History' does not explain what I was listening to, when I made the comment. Weird. Obviously mistook, another dirge, for this light and refreshing piece.

An homage to Liszt that is far greater than anything Liszt wrote.

17:35 Nice use of the whole-tone scale.
didn't expect there's a Russian concerto written with such lyricism, was expecting flambuoyant, fiery thumpin and dense chords. Love this.
😅 I don't understand why eastern composers shouldn't have lyricism.
It seems strange to me the contrary.

Wonderful ! A surprise, as his No. 1. was dreary and boring.
Hum his no. 1 is NOT dreary and boring

@@nigelperry8863 maybe you heard the two Moszkowski concertos? The 2nd is gorgeous but the 1st is more or less boring
