    My dad loved this, and wanted so much to learn it, but he was not a pianist and never did, but he would sit at the piano for hours playing the parts that he knew. Now every time i hear it, I listen and think of him.

    This has to be one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written! And this arrangement with the Proms and Valentina Lasitsa is just spectacular! Gorgeous in every way! Brings out every emotion, sadness, great happiness, a bitter sweet feeling and finally that of triumph! No piece of music has this same effect!

      This is a nice pastiche of Rachmaninoff for a movie theme, not a formal concerto. If you wish to call anything a greatest piecenof music, at least mention Rach 2nd or 3rd piano Concerto. Or if you want to point to a pinnacle of mankind, at least mention Bach, Beethovan, or Mozart.

    Since I was a child I have enjoyed Classical Music, specially Rachmaninoff, this so called concerto, (which is not really a formal concerto), has always facinated me, I had no idea why; until I learned that Addinsell was requested to write some music for a movie, (Dangerous Moonlight), "in the style of Rachmaninoff". I cannot stop listening to it.

    Wow, that just blew me away. What a wonderful set of emotional melodies woven together. Just pure emotion. Amazing how subtle some sections are, and how powerful others are. 👏 Big applause for this lovely performance. Brings a tear to my eye that we can't see this now, with Covid going on. I'd give over $500 to sit in that audience for an hour and a half, to hear music like this tonight.

    Warsaw most likely the most beautiful Concerto ever written played by Valentina Lisitsa one of the most talented Pianists in the World . It just doesn't get much better than this. It's just such a disappointment Martha Argerich or Yuja Wang have never played this , that would be spectacular .

    • @ms.annthrope415

      Probably because they feel a movie theme is beneath their level of seriousness. Warwar Concerto was written in the style of Rachmaninoff as background music for the movie Dangerous Moonlight, so it is not a formal concerto and not recognized as a canon of classical repertoire.

    Faux Rach but still very good faux Rach. Valentina of course plays this with her usual spectacular fashion, lovingly lingering over each note allowing each one to develop into a gorgeous melody. Although this was composed as a movie music accompaniment, Addinsell knew enough Rach to prepare a beautifully composed pastiche evoking the themes from Rach's 2nd.

  • @musicdirector8661

      Regardless of how "structurally primitive" it is and much gorgeous music is harmonically and thematically simple, but it is the genius of creativity and what you do with simple ideas which elevates them beyond the average - just look at some of Beethoven's themes, and no one would say his music is "structurally primitive". The fact remains that the Warsaw Concerto is beautiful music written by a creative individual who obviously knew what he was doing....
