one of the most fascinating and difficult concertos ever written with this exceptional full of movement and phrases masterpiece...a treasure played by a treasure
answer to lockincaesar: this movement is not played a little too fast but there is missing a bit of structure in the rythmic conception. The Lipatti version is even faster but is more convincing the same I would say concerning the cadenca of the first movement. But its a great youn musician Mr Katz and he has time to play it better and better in the futur....
I'm with you, shniggens - that series of modulations, and the way Schumann messes with the three-quarter timing, is absolutely amazing!!! Schumann rocks -- and Amir Katz as well!
This is such a beautiful piece. I especially like the modulations that occur at 2:14 and other places. It sounds so much ahead of it's time. This is my favorite piano concerto.
2:15 lovee

Same here, yet this version is a little bit fast. The piece itself is absolutely amazing, most wonderful ever.
