...you want to compare this to the Hungarian-double-teamed, too, Anda-Fricsay job...note nice mops on top of both guys here...in Bartok, having a mop on top of you helps...
Sensational. Kocsis is a great performer of this concerto and as conductor he gives the perfect accompaniment to Ranki's wonderful playing. A performance to treasure.
I met these two fine gentlemen years ago in Budapest. Aside from Liszt and Bartok themselves they are the 2 finest pianists Hungary has ever produced!
I'm a big fan of Bartok and I have the duty of be empathic with him. Bartok wrote his last concert with leukemia over him, a very lack of money, etc. He planned to hand down this concert to his wife Ditta for live of presentations of that work. This concerto was wrote for the American taste (de tal época), because that reason.
Anywhere, The third piano concerto is beautiful : D
Óriási párosítás! Ránki félelmetes technikával és zeneiséggel, Kocsis szokásosan zseniális, a zenekar is nagyszerű, na és a mű...

Electrifying! A very exciting interpretation. The closing flourish always manages to lift my spirits.

God bless you for posting!! One of my deepest favorite works for over 35 years. A great performance! (but then, they're Hungarians!)

This second piano concert and the first are the best. Full of expressionism and drama. The third one, which is more known, is rubbish.

I like the third too. (There is an excellent recording with Ránki - Hungarian Philharmonic/Ferencsik).
I am so sorry he died too early. His style changed that days.

I don't totally agree with you, though I do like the first and second better, myself. Why is the first never played, I wonder???
This is quite a fine performance of the second though. I like his interpretation of the 3rd movement the most.

No, the best performance is by Zoltán Kocsis himself (Phillips).
