    It's like this Concerto reaches down deep inside us and draws out the story mixed with happiness, sadness, mystery, danger, love...the whole works...out of us.

      Do you know the story of the film it was written for? ‘Dangerous Moonlight’ is worth reading up on Wikipedia, especially the plot section. I have never yet been able to listen to this piece without at least a few tears, it is so evocative

    This masterpiece has never grown old for the past 80 years. When you close your eyes this composition takes you into another dimension. Olga, your performance is superb and flawless and you have not failed to deliver the entire substance of this piece.
    I personally managed to secure the original recording of "The Warsaw Concerto - Piano Solo" by Ivan Fosello, on a 78 record from 1941 and still enjoy listening to it on my "Reynolds Prismaphonic" player.

    Grossly underrated..some even say it's a "second rate" Rachmaninoff.. But It's a modern piano Masterpiece, and its played very well in this video.

    • @ms.annthrope415
      @ms.annthrope415 2 года назад +4

      The Warsaw Concerto was written by Richard Addinsell for the movie Dangerous Moonlight. He was told to compose something similar to Rachmaninoff. So Addinsell did just that. A lush Romantic pastiche as one woukd expect in a Rach concerto. I'm not musically trained to know whether the Warsaw Concerto is really difficult or equal to a Rach concerto but plenty of serious classical pianist like Valentina Lisitsa have played it in concert so it couldn't be that bad. It does sound very lovely like the 18th Variation of Paginini.

      I love both Rachmaninoff's concerto no. 2 and Addinsell's the Warsaw concerto. Olga played the arrangement for piano solo SUPERBLY. I've heard others played it but so far none could compare to Olga. Bravissimo Olga!❤
