This is my second favourite piano concerto, after Rachmaninoff's 2nd.
My favourite moment of this concerto occurs at 2:09, when the piano abruptly switches from A major to F-sharp minor for that sequence, quite unexpectedly and beautiful all the same.
mihogo -- it made me cry too, the first time I heard it! I love it! In a few years, perhaps, I'll play it -- and hopefully I'll be able to produce half the beauty that Amir Katz has given us here...
As a college project, I heard every available recording of this. Fischer, Geza Anda, were off the chart. Rubenstein sucked, and several new ones ;the French dame, Argerich, Teo Georgieu, the Israeli Katz were perfect.
Really good. One of the hardest Concertos to keep tempo together, everybody has to keep their ears open and keep cues from everybody else. This is one of the best.
Bravo!!

3.24 had to be my personal favorite sequence. The whole piece was played beautifully though!

Very driven, muscular playing! Yet with moments of subtle beauty as well. Very different from my own interpretation, but I like this one a lot. Tops!
