I do enjoy reading the score along with the performance. Thank you for putting that on the screen for us to read along. I did enjoy the live performance, too. Having heard the work before, seeing the technical skill necessary to play increased the appreciation of Delius' composition.
You, Mednatculus and others never stop astonishing me with your uploads... Keep up the great work .. I totally forgot that Delius had written a piano concerto until I saw this posting... Then again, I'm getting old, so forgetfulness is no surprise.. Cheers.

C minor is generally considered as a dramatic tonality, which could not be suited to the usual Delius' inspiration. But we should not forget that Delius used a language of his own, with free chains of chords and cadenzas, so the "dark" C minor evaporates from the beginning and we can hear a serious but not at all dramatic score of Delius (at least in the Romantic conception of the word), well in line with his usual inspiration.
The tonality of C mainor is susally considered as dark and dramatic, and as such not in line with what we may expect from Delius. But we should not forget that, whilae keeping the tonal language, Delius invented cahins od chaords, cadenzas, etc. which change totally the usual feeling of tonality so the "dramatic" language disappears from the beginning (at least in the sense which Romatisme understood) and we find the usual language of Delius, Even the moderate movement is not familiar with what we expect from its key, Db major. The orchestral language is a part of this exprssion of Delius' art. Delius knows exactly here what he can expect from the synergy between piano and orchestra.
24:03 I thought I was listening to the soundtrack to "Interstellar". I wonder if Hans Zimmer has heard this concerto. SOURCE(S): ruclips.net/video/YF1eYbfbH5k/видео.html
It's all a matter of familiarity. Rather than the piece not knowing what it wants to be, it could be that you are not familiar with what the piece is. And I say this even considering that you are probably basing this judgment on objective parameters.

Anything with Clifford Curzon MUST be good and a 'must hear'. Thanks for this rare music upload.

I love this it’s so dramatic and powerful and gorgeous. I LOVE IT.

What an absolute masterpiece.

Now I know where Dimitri Tiomkin got many of his ideas!

This has never sounded much like a Delius piece to me. I read somewhere that it was only partly by him?

Here we have a concerto by who I feel is a depressing impressionist, so far not too bad.
Is the original version recorded?

What's going on with this performance? Piano and orchestra are consistently not together...
They kind of fell asleep !
"micro-syncopation" between soloist/orchestra starting from the first few measures
It’s the interpretation of the piano player and the orchestra. If you didn’t have the score you wouldn’t notice.
in my opinion this performance is not the greatest both due to the soloist and the orchestra
@@Andrew.Helmick Justin Bird has a great performance of it. It's on RUclips.
This performance is a mess.
The piece simply has no clue about what it trying to be. Obviously the wrong choice for a free spirited individualist like Delius to Express himself.

@@pedrofuster9161 Thank you, for your intelligent comment. I will adhere to your advice and listen Delius with different expectations.
@@stevehinnenkamp5625 lol if youre that easily dissuaded from your own opinion, why comment at all
