@AlejandroSanAntonio Lol I don't think so. What a boss...

@Rachmanfan4life How can you argue that this isn't a piano concerto? It has all the traits of one. Are you actually saying that the instrumentation of the orchestra affects whether or not the soloist exists? In this piece of music, the piano clearly is the soloist, and that means that it's a concerto.

Did Hamelin sweat in the concerto?

@saintsaens21 then he doesn't have temperament in his hands. a lot of technique, though. his fans have more temperament. that's the problem with performers today. fans are supplying the temperament, while all the performer has to do is show up with a terrific technique, play the notes, play relatively musically, and leave the stage.

@muslit his temperament is in his hands, that is where it counts.

My fovorite piano concerto, a concerto to end all concertos. Its is more like a piano symphony, except Busoni called it a concerto. Bravo !!! D. Alexandr D'Maddalena

@Rachmanfan4life When Beethoven used the chorus for his ninth symphony, some might have said it was not a symphony. What about the symphonies of Mahler? This IS a piano conerto. Perhaps not a great piece in the genre, but one that does not fail to stir the emotions and deserves to be heard.

Thank you so very much for the upload. Pity the recording sounded congested and unclear a lot of the time.
It's a terrific piano concerto [I doubt if the pianist would accept it's not a piano concerto.]
Fine accompaniment, and Hamelin is a nearly unbelievable pianist. They should still be applauding now"

FYI.....The Title "Piano Concerto" here is nebulous. In my opinion (for whatever that is worth) this is NOT a piano concerto....regardless what Busoni labeled it. Nor is it a "great" piece of music----again, my opinion....but also many others' opinions as well....If you have to argue if it's a "piano concerto" ....it isn't one.

a pianist with zero temperament
That would have been a life-changing experience to see this live!
