BOSWORTH PLAYS STRAUSS BURLESKE PART 2

Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbqvlokK7yU

Of note is that the Burleske is the only piano concerto that Richard Strauss wrote. He was known for his operas, tone poems, and lieder. Anecdotal information has it that when Strauss was in his early 20's, he showed the score to the famous pianist/conductor Hans von Bulow; it was pronounced unplayable. Well, thank goodness for the few concert pianists who play the piece, otherwise, it would be gathering dust on museum shelves somewhere.

This was performed in the late 1990's by Richard Bosworth. Accompanying him is the Polish orchestra Filharmonia Sudecka with Anthony Armore conducting. It is one of several rehearsal sessions before the actual concert. (The performance of it is less visually interesting since there are no close-up shots.)

ENJOY!

THIS IS PART 2 OF 2.
