In the year 1910 on the 7th of November the US premiere of this concerto occurred with the composer himself at the piano and Gustav Mahler conducting the New York philharmonic... the rachmaninov 3rd also premiered in the same year with the composer at the piano and Gustav Mahler conducting. I would love to have been there for both!
Well, I have yet to see any concerto by Scharwenka in the flesh, sadly; I have been in the audience during live performances of all three Medtner concertos (the 3rd twice, in fact). It was very disappointing, in view of Hinson's comments about the value of Scharwenka's four piano concertos that 100 years after his death, not one turned up during the Proms but I expect the organizers had never heard of Xaver Scharwenka. They did precious little for Stanford, and he is supposed to be a household name in England, not only because every choirboy has Stanford tattooed all over his vocal chords but because he taught every composer who was anyone for decades at the RCM just a stone's throw behind the Albert Hall. Instead, we were offered the usual fare of Beethoven, Mozart and so on - that, and a selection of commissions, some of questionable worth.
@@mbrough2799 Stanford is another one of those who get unfairly neglected indeed. Granted he only went down the trodden path musically, but boy did he do it good! I have yet to hear one of his works were I didn't think that it deserved as much play as music by those that established this style. I'd kill to have someone program the 5th Symphony. And his chamber music is just awesome.
@@ulrichalbrecht9723 it is harder to like than the others but it repays the effort. It does have very good melodic interest, including a very affecting second subject in the finale - one of his most inspired melodies. All his concertos demand virtuoso ability at the piano, a kind of Chopin+Liszt+Saint-Saens technique..
Çok güzel ve anlamlı bir konçerto. Ancak son bölüm daha hızlı oynanması gerekiyor gibi hissettim. Hep öyle dinledim ve alıştım. Onun için son bölüm biraz yavaş hissettirdi. Bizimle bu görkemli eseri paylaştığın için teşekkürler.

wonderful to finally see a live performance, showcasing the variety of techniques that master Xavier used. He and Moskowski… abselute favourites.

Unknown by a lot of musicians, yet very beautiful to hear and listen to. I studied piano, yet didn't know this composer. I love it.....
Je réécoute ce véritable chef- d'œuvre ❤ et quelle prouesse pour le pianiste, vous êtes fantastique ❣️✨
Finally a concert performance. I have been in love with this concerto for 20 years now.
Condivido!
Certainly worthy of a regular concert performance by top ranked orchestra pianist and conductors😊😊😊
Amazing work!!! And amazing piece!
It should be played more often
Wonderful to have such an excellent performance of this much neglected masterpiece. Thank you.
I wish more pianists would take this on. It's one of the best unknown piano concertos aside from the Medtner ones.

Un seul mot FANTASTIQUE 🙏 La chair de poule garantie ❣️🎶💓🎶✨🌟✨👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Scharwenka's 1,2 and 4 are true gems for me.
I like nr 3

Excellent performance!! I wonder why such a wonderful composer has been almost disregarded in international repertoires.
That was pretty awesome playing.
Dankie François, hiervoor!!
