Saint Saens Concerto 4 Allegro vivace Cortot Rec 1935 Pt 1

[baltoman24]

Thank you posting this famous recording of this great concerto- Dr Stegemann makes tha case that it is Saint-Saens' finest concerto. The recordings with Robert Casadesus, J-P Collard, and Anna Malikova, are all necessary! I would not want to be without any of them- Collard and Malikova recorded all 5 and they are all excellent!

I hope valentina never performs this, or for that matter, just about any of the greater works.

I love this concerto. I remember hearing the Phillip Entremont recording on the Karl Haas program 40 years ago. Exciting stuff. I bought on a pre recorded 7 inch reel tape. I wish Valentina Lisitsa or one of the current generation of pianist would perform it.

@mercantilist0 I understand what you mean about wanting current pianists to play it. I'd love to hear it more, too. I found that concerto competitions often times accept this concerto, so I may learn it! ;)

This is, IMO, one of the two greatest recordings of this concerto, along with that by Robert Casadesus.
