Furtwängler: Piano Concerto b minor (1/4)

[musoderelict]

Furtwangler, the greatest conductor who ever lived ... isn't it too much to expect him to be a great composer as well?

[waponesepower]

well, he just thought that he couldn't go on composing for a job, but I greatly want to encourage people who compose from their heart! Unlike lots of modern things which are ugly sometimes..

Ehre seinem Andenken!

[MrAam1964]

The most powerful concerto for piano and orchestra of the repertoire. Dramatism is equal to its huge symphonical view created by a great romantic composer called Willem Furtwangler.

[PizzatheHutt78]

those initial double handed chords sounded like the pianist banging his head into the keys.

[Musicimpro]

Als ob Furtwängler ein richtiger Nazi gewesen wäre! Desweiteren ist das der linke Arm, der dort ausgekreuzt ist, der Hitler-Gruß wird allerdings mit dem Rechten praktiziert! Solch ein Idiotentum sollte verboten werden; wenn, dann auch richtig!

[mozartzuvielenoten]

@Musicimpro oh dear my friend, keine vorschnellen Schlussfolgerungen :) Das rote Kreuz streicht den Dirigenten Furtwängler zugunsten des Komponisten aus. Weils halt hier nu mal um den Komponisten geht. Alle Verbotsforderungen bitte an Herrn Schäuble oder gleich ans Reichssicherheitshauptamt...

[Musicimpro]

@mozartzuvielenoten Leider muss man diese Darstellung Furtwänglers auch während anderer Stücke ertragen, die er dirigiert und nicht komponiert hat. Der anschließende "Witz" ist geschmacklos.

[Musicimpro]

@mozartzuvielenoten Anscheinend geht meine Formulierung an der Welt vorrüber.

[TsarBovov]

@Musicimpro Wow, that's a really stupid comment.

[Esmeraldaviolin]

I heard a recording with Edwin Fischer and Furtwangler in class last week. Some parts of that recording were missing, so thanks for posting the complete concerto! Love, Esmeralda.

[1993eph]

tragic, the most adecuated word for this

[Pugophile]

Quick ........ where are my Mozart recordings?

[TheAttiliotauro]

Great conductor but as composer not relevant.His music is too indefinite and much more widely

[sam0xin]

How DRAMATIC ! WHAT A GENIUS !

[changjiang001]

This opening resembles that of Brahms piano quartet no.1(Schoenberg). Actually, his symphony no.2 is one of my favorite pieces. It is such a great work,.

[ChalieChaplin]

Can you put his symphonies?

[karlakor]

The entrance of the piano reminds me of the Berg Piano Sonata in its harmonic progressions.

[mahlerman101]

the music isn't going anywhere...

[Nuker1337]

@mahlerman101 I found this more intriguing than the combined output of Mahler. Of course, only my humble opinion...

[MyMusic0201]

what a find! Thank you! Great piece...now let's upload the entire symphonic work by Klemperer! :)

[ijrupahsinosub]

how about uploading the symphony #2- it sounds at least as much influenced by brahms and indeed sibelius, as by bruckner, etc.

I have this performance. Furtwängler was vastly underrated as a conductor, as this piece (especially the gargantuan opening movement) shows. I'd love to hear it live someday.

[Boycorrupted]

Don't you mean underrated as a composer?

[themfromspace]

Yes :)
