Thank you for posting this wonderful piece of music. I am unfamiliar with this composer who has immense talent and emotion. I will definitely explore his work more.
Thenameisgsarci, thank you for uploading this concerto. Never heard about Herr Joseph Rheinberger. Good to know that he was a rare name we hear from the Principality of Liechtenstein. If one day I become the Maestra I want, I'll conduct this piece while playing the solo piano. Again, thank you for letting us know about Herr Rheinberger.
The third movement is by far the best. It's funny, when it's time for him to go full out virtuosic, he plays it safer. Something he doesn't do in the first movement, where he overcrowds the melody with odd "etude-like" passages. In fact, this 3rd movement is rather "Classical" in nature once it gets moving. Reminds me of late Mozart or Beethoven.
I agree, although the finale is technically demanding and dramatically impressive with its repeated outbursts of dotted rhythms. What makes this finale compelling is that not only do we hear a melody that has clearly been in reserve, but its release has given Rheinberger the courage to also give us all the waypoints we expected in the first movement and in their expected keys. The development section is carefully crafted to make the recapitulation and coda actually seem like the conclusion to the concerto even though the finale elucidates its sonata form more than the first movement, and the return of the opening of the first movement is carefully prepared as the outcome of something that began in the development section.
This is the only work of his that I like. I just listened to his 2 programmatic symphonies and the Florentine, after a reasonable 1st mvt., is atrocious the rest of the way!
0:24 - 1st movement - Moderato
14:25 - 2nd movement - Adagio pathetico
21:50 - 3rd movement - Finale. Allegro energico
I absolutely love the swells at the beginning. It makes this piano concerto unique compared to all others. Shame it isn't well known.

I loved this concerto! I can't pick a favorite movement, all three were awesome. Very beautiful and joyful work. Thanks for sharing! :)
Настоящие романтики перед тем, как писать музыку либо принимают различные возбуждающие напитки либо хорошую дозу снотворного !!! Теппер Михаил.
A great discovery!
I'm a fan of this chanel
Thank you very much. :)
Me too:3
Interesting background info -- What does "only valid essay in the genre" mean?
Rheinberger is underrated.
Audio quality is problematic. Hardly audible the bass part of both orch and piano.
You might have to redo and repost. The opening chord comes in late - the beginning is cut off.
It's the audio, though.
Don't be silly, that's not worth redoing the entire video.
I have the source material. I can make a video of the whole concerto from scratch, although it won't have the score.
You can edit the video through youtube and replace the cut-off audio with a complete track, if you'd like to fix this.

I highly recommend checking out his organ sonatas, they are very fine works.
The organ works are very fine, and so is the C major piano quintet, which is wonderfully lyrical and carefree.
Also the Stabat Mater, it is beautiful!
His choral piece "Die Wasserfee" is very beautiful.
I'll take this over Tchaikovsky's 1st any time!
