Martha Argerich + Rostropovich Schumann Piano Concerto pt 1

[OrangeSodaKing]

Over a year later (after my comment down below), I've performed this movement multiple times, became very tired of the concerto, but have rediscovered it and am falling in love with it all over again! It makes me so happy. :D This was the first recording I ever heard, and remains my favorite tied with Radu Lupu and Andre Previn/London Symphony Orchestra. Thank you so much!

leggendaria incisione

[OrangeSodaKing]

jeez. all the parts with arpeggios (fast part of expo, fast part of development, fast part of recap) are a monster. ughh how will i get them up to speed in time?? argerich is truly amazing

[anisometropie]

rostropovitch conducting ! we're not used to see him far from his cello !

anyway argerich + rostropovitch is the best cellist pianist duet ... their chopin cello sonata was just gorgeous

[pancakelad2]

Yes we are. He conducted a lot, and played the piano a great deal.

[JulesJapan]

fuck me there are so many fantastic versions of this on youtube.

i never really cared for her playing but my God...this is just amazing. im starting this piece and can only hope to play half as well

[paulostroff99]

Next to Richter and Lipatti-she is IMHO-the very best. Brava! TY.

P.S.-Hers is still the very best Rach3. Even better than the fabulous Horowitz version.

1:44....oh my god...

[OrangeSodaKing]

i'm learning this concerto

i love it especially the beginning and the groups of 5 early in the piece

[SCHUMANNasaSACRAMENT]

I AWARD THIS 1 CLARA...This pianist at 4:30 forward saves this from being a wreck.I Think the orchestral concept is frightful monodimensional and inexpressive.

[archcorenth]

I like the orchestra, I think it's sweeping.  But regardless, a piano concerto is about the piano....

[paulostroff99]

archcorenth-Not at all so. Listen to any Szell,Walter,Toscanini conducted concertos,and you will hear a heavenly union of soloist and orchestra. Were that not so,then I too could have been a great conductor! Ha,ha. I wish,but am without talent at all.
