    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 actually was written for a film at the time called "Dangerous Moonlight", which was about a Polish concert pianist who was a double agent. During the climax of this story he was supposed to play this piece. IRL Poland adopted this piece as a tribute.

      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.

    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
      @ms.annthrope415 Рік тому

      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.

    Every time I hear this concerto I think about the film called The Pianist ! A very sad story a pianist who escaped the roundup of Jews in WW2 in Warsaw ! A Nazi officer and music lover he became a fried who helped the pianist escape the concentration camps and eventually into the safety of the allies at the end of the war! The Israel war cematries hold a monument about the German officer who saved the pianist! He is the only German as far as I know who was decorated for bravery! Maybe Schindlers list was awarded as well! I can’t remember names but it is a true story and a gripping film! Fraser.

    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.
