Tchaikovsky - Piano Concerto No.3 Op.75/79 COMPLETE CONCERTO PART 1 of 4 - MICHAEL PONTI

I.Allegro brillante. Played by Michael Ponti (piano) and the Orchestra of Radio Luxembourg conducted by Louis De Froment. For those of you who have heard the first concerto too many times, here's something different! Tchaikovsky's third concerto started life as sketches for what would have been a sixth symphony, but dissatisfied with the symphonic material, instead re-wrote it as a the one-movement Piano Concerto No.3 Op.75. Two other discarded movements for the original sixth symphony were reconstructed and orchestrated by pianist/composer/teacher, and former pupil and friend of Tchaikovsky, Sergei Taneyev. This was published posthumously as Andante and Finale Op.79. Although Taneyev performed the three movements as one complete concerto, no record exists of it having been played as a three movement work in the 20th century.

That's the sort of tempo needed for this work to "take off."I'm afraid i find most others, especially the usually wonderful Gilels much too slow. Ponti can be critiçose for all sorts of things, but in this case he serves the symphonic drive of the piece very well.

Tchaikovsky was never influenced by Liszt--and again, respectfully, the 2nd is a huge piece, extraordinarily difficult to play and extraordinarily difficult to coordinate with the orchestra and the orchestral balance. *If performed correctly and in full,* the 2nd is probably one of his greatest works. The second movement, as Tchaikovsky wrote it--with the "trio" section intact--is one of the most achingly beautiful melodic moments in all of 19th century music. Find the Zhukov.

@robfuturemd The second is a great virtuoso work - and that's how it should be viewed in my opinion. Still a very powerful piece.

[marcusantonius90]

@Balancement I find the second concerto a virtuoso rather than a melodic piece; I think the composer was possibly influenced by Liszt in creating it. The best movement of the second concerto, in my humble opinion, is the lovely slow movement, which was the one idiotically cut!

Me da la impresión que los pianistas deberían prestar más atención a los otros de conciertos para piano y a la fantasía de Tchaicovsky ya que a mi modesto entender son obras muy hermosas y de gran riqueza músical muestras del talento del compositor y el 2do merece ser interpretado siempre en su versión original y no en la de A.Siloti.

I agree, comapred the the first and third concertos and the concert fantasia in g major, the second concerto is much less beautiful. I mean it is "OK" but not nearly as beautiful as the 1st and 3d, and the concerto fantasia i g major for piano and orchestra. I guess that is just my opinion
