It seems like I spend more and more of my time going to RUclips to listen to obscure classical music, or not-so-obscure classical that I don't own. All the music I loved back in my youth is here, as well as so much wonderful music I've never heard of before.
wcsxwcsx I am 70 years old, and now use You Tube as my only source of Classical Music, PRECISELY because of all the "obscure" works to be found. I have given up on the two local classical music stations, KUSC and KMZT, because I really don't want to hear the same old tired warhorses yet once again. I think you tube is a wonderful, innovative, HUGE resource for the true lover of classical music.
Harry Andruschak +wcsxwcsx I agree completely. And there are some great contributions here by people who really know how to dig out obscuriana. As always, many thanks to them.
+wcsxwcsx Exactly. I'm 70 too, and have been increasingly astounded by the number of masterful composers I've never come across before...and I've been listening to the local classical station for decades.
+Joe Boyle I know the feeling: four of my five kids played instruments as children, and now none of them do. And classical music just doesn't do much for them...
+Joe Boyle My kids didn't play other music, just none at all. However, they've enjoyed some of the stuff I've composed over the years (which is more classical than pop) so I guess that's something.
The concerto was written in 1887, premiered in 1893 by the pianist Vilem Kurz and Kovarovic as a conductor. This is the only solo concerto he wrote, except for many operas, ballets, incidental, vocal and chamber music. During his lifetime he was criticised for eclecticism.
One of those truly all-time "wow" moments. I am realizing it took just less than 70 years for me to hear this immense musical masterpiece. This gloriousness beats the heck out of so many piano concerti that have been played on a daily basis for many years. FANTASTIC!
Came across this masterwork in 2017 and three years later I'm still coming back to this place so I can listen to it.
This piano concerto helped me expand my taste in music in a time where I only listened music from the classical period (1750-1800).
What an enchanting piece of music. Just when I think I know a thing or two about great music, I find something like this, that I never heard of before. That's what makes life grand.
An absolutely magnificent work of music !
Spectacular work!
Beautiful Concert !!! Very impressive!
Thank you for uploading this concert. After listening to assorted unknown romantic composition, this is one of the best. I would love to hear this piece played live one of these days
Concerto should be played on the concert stage and a modern recording issued by Hyperion or another label dedicated to piano concertos!!! Brilliant!
beautiful. Glad we have youtube. Tks a lot
How could I missed this beautiful piece of music. As a native from former Czechoslovakia I did not know this piano concerto even existed. Unbelievable. Has been this concerto ever recorded on CD? Magnificent.
Another masterpiece rescued from oblivion. Thank you for sharing. Big admirer of your channel.
Beautiful!
!Grande, Kovarovic! No tienes nada que envidiar a los grandes compositores de conciertos clásicos para piano.
I am astonished! I can't find ANY recording on CD or LP of this incredible concerto! That's hard to believe, and so sad! Such a strong and superb composition remains practically neglected to the world, while other objectively mediocre piano concertos are played and recorded hundreds of times just because they are signed by famous composers... But what a shame!!! This Kovarovic was a great master, and his music deserves the highest consideration!!!
Omg this is amazing
Why is there just endless genius music in the popular circles of classical music and then endless genius music in the obscure realms of classical music and why has it died out?!?! So many questions so many mysteries no one to answer them ☹️
Like wcsxwcsx below, I am also spending much time working my way through a whole feast of piano concerti that I never knew existed and all thanks to RUclips! This one is yet another that ought to be on the regular concert repertoire. Perhaps one day a competitor in one of the famous competitions will choose this one and give the audience a real treat. It is certainly sufficiently challenging and showy! I'm about to move on to the works of Hans Wolf, Carl Loewe, Franz Scharwenka to name but three other composers that I had never heard of.
Che affascinante e personalissimo concerto!
The whole of this sound architecture is a flight into the Sublime. It is a very beautiful music played with exceptional skill and an impressive inner feeling. A delightful listening and therapeutic experience !
Wonderful ! Thank you so much :)
Thanks very much for uploading one of the many great Polish master musicians.
+Lar M He is Czech :)
Ooops. Sorry !
Thanks Jilek, thanks for good concerto.
Awesome! Beautiful music.

III. Rondo. Vivace
I had to scroll so far... D':
Thankyou youtube, at last I can listen to some really gteat music, much of it quite obscure. you have introduced me to Scriabin and Enescu, great music.
IS SO BEAUTIFUL CONCERT
A really great piece! Thanks!
Una fantastica obra de orfebrería para ensalzar joyas de poco valor. Un envoltorio maravilloso que merecería un contenido último más memorable. Cabe imaginar lo que habría podido ser este compositor si hubiera tenido ,además de una fuerza expresiva impresionante, el don de una inspiración melódica que mereciese tal derroche de ritmo y armonía !.
ME ENCANTÓ ESTE CONCIERTO, ¡ QUE FUERZA TIENE ! LÁSTIMA QUE ACÁ EN ARGENTINA NO SE DIFUNDA ESTA MÚSICA TAN EXCELSA
Unsung piano hero !
A vivid concerto, nice to listen, but I misses the very romantic themes!
whaaa il est extra très très intéressant et son au top
Why on earth only a couple of composers concertos are performed most of the time in the Concert Halls ? ........Kovarovic, N. Burgmüller, Thalberg, A. Rubinstein, Dussek, Wiklund, F.Danzi and many others should be taken by the talented pianists' and conductors' in theirs repertoires.
That is because familiar music is like a comfortable pair of shoes that we wear daily and are hesitant to try something new because it might be uncomfortable and thus a waste of time.
@@horatiodreamt A-ha,I've got it now! People don't listen to these obscure gems coz they think they'll get a blister on their big toe! Thank you so much for clearing that up for me!
Wow! While I think the Rachmaninoff 2 and 3 are perhaps the finest piano concerti, this one beats his 1 and 4. Gorgeous! Thanks for posting.
NIce...but not even close to Rachmaninoff.
Which is why comparisons are futile.
Great! So Intense! Beautiful! so sad !We always hear the same Repertoir! here in america!
Could someone tell me how to find or buy score of this GREAT Piano Concerto? This is breathtakingly beautiful..
IMLSP
I finally found the score for this piece! I contacted the Czech Radio, they have the solo piano score that was played in this performance in their archives. Apparently it's also being edited right now by a Canadian scholar. I hope we'll hear more about this concerto in the near future. Maybe Hyperion could make a new record in their Romantic Piano Concerto series.
@88wooper88 can you email me the score? I have been asking around for a year to get the score!!
Try ' bookbutler '. They not only do books, but also films and music. It's a ' search engine ' within google. If no joy there then just try Google
@@88wooper88 could you send it to me too or put a link in here please?
I've seen KuhlauDilfeng2 doing things different form the others. Thanks so much for sharing an almost unremarkable composer's work. (of the romantic era). Actually I don't know the before :3
замечательно!
мне нравится
Thank you SO much for this new upload of a charming concerto, which seems to be unavailable on a commercially available CD. I listened some time ago to this same performance uploaded by Fyrexianoff, and got to love the work, but sadly that version sounds distorted to me, as if it had been recorded at too high a volume level. Recordings from a radio are hazardous - one can easily overload one's system. This new upload sounds excellent!

Ik heb steeds minder tijd van leven, maar ik heb er steeds meer van nodig.
Life is too short to hear all the "not" famous music. Help!
When will someone (HYPERION?) put this great concerto on a disc?
I can hear Schumann, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Beethoven, Chopin, and Wagner combine in this concerto !
I hear Kovarovic :)
That's preposterous my good man!You mean to say-you have 6 radios on at the same time!??
lindo demais, intenso !!!!!!!
İncredible ♥️
A few passages are really good.
Beaitiful🍀
This is a truly great piece of music! Why is it so unknown??
+Wigbert Traxler just because most of concert goers are not curious and concerts organizers think in terms of return on investments and most soloist on their notoriety before really music and their role in educating and opening the public's ears... Sad but that's how the show goes on these days. Try in Paris to present this concerto at the Theater des champs Elysées and you'll have an empty house. The same goes for the cd manufacturers...Naxos was an exception, I'm not sure the company still exists.
+jvdesuit1 Yes, you're very probably right. Sadly. It's a real pity, that yet lesser known, but worth and great music doesn't get real chances today.
My question in the former post was a rhetorical one. And an upset one.
Bom Cabedal To be honest I buy less and less cd's. Would not know where to put them in my flat!lol! Already some 5000 of them without taking into account of some 200kms of tapes I recorded with my REVOX which is still running perfectly 42 years after I bought it...
Bom Cabedal My pleasure I must say is to touch the media. It's true that with the advent of the CD I lost the real pleasure of opening a box of LPs with the booklet etc... I have the same attitude with books. I hate reading on the internet and always buy my books whether recent or ancient. I'm for instance making a collection of Alexandre Dumas's novels and all of them have been published between 1860 and 1890 and it is nice to think that when you read you have the feeling that the former owner of the book a century and a half ago might watching you somewhere with his possession. Sometimes you have great surprises like a play I bought for less than a dollar and discovered it was fully annotated by Yvonne Printemps one of Sacha Guitry's mistress who played the main character of the play. The bookshop did not know it and I did not tell him!!!!lol!
@@jvdesuit1 You sir,are a cad of the first order!And a hearty congratulations!
Há um envolvimento em bloco harmónico em todo o 1º andamento, mas sem o cuidado trifásico clássico (Apresentação-Desenvolvimeto-Reexposição), talvez um tanto Tsckaikowskiano. O 2º andamento soa a um Scherzo um tanto indefinido (si bemol), mas com a orquestra a ser Alma Mater um tanto sforzando en demasia. Só no 3º andanmento o piano se liberta e decide para onde vai mas embebido em nostalgia algo Sibeliana. Uma peça de transição? Fico algo por dizer, acho. Saudações de Portugal.
Magnificent - superb - why totally neglected ?
That's exactly the same thing I often say about myself!
There was certainly bad blod between them, Janacek was the critic and did not like Kovarovic's opera The Bridegrooms. You can read more about it here.
leosjanacek co uk kovarovic html
Does anyone know where to get his sheet music?
Please, if someone has piano sheets of this concert, give me url to download!!!
How can I get the score for this?
Is it true that there was some sort of bad blood between Kovarovic and Janacek? Wasn't Kovarovic a critic as well, and did he not pan one of Janacek's operas? I vaguely recall something of this nature.
Le piano ne manque pas de panache. Ce qui lui anque, c'est un thème qui marque la mémoire de l'auditeur, comme dans un concerto de Brahms de Grieg ou de Schumann... Même le Larghetto manque quelque peu de caractère. Larghetto 16.44 ? Finale 24.51
very good
hermosa versión de un bello concierto, lo que no me sonó muy agradable fueron los agudos del piano, quizá para mi gusto demasiado metálicos y martillados.......
Thank you so much! I love this composer, but i would like to buy this album for my grand frather!
Excuse me i'm french i don't speak very well in english! I would like to thank you in advance if you give me a link for buying cd!
Sorry, this is not a commercial recording, only a radio recording. :-(
Thank you so much for your answer and for your fabulous sharing ^^ i'll go to follow you on RUclips ! bravo =)

Muzycznie istotnie ciekawe, ale jakość dźwięku w nagraniu....Lepiej nie mówić
I hear Chopin!
Tell whoever's got Chopin on while you're trying to enjoy this, to turn it off!
Romanticismo di fine secolo un po' sbiadito. Grazie comunque per la segnalazione dal momento che non è facile reperire queste opere.
