BOSWORTH PLAYS CHOPIN 1ST CONCERTO MVT 3

In March of 2005, Richard Bosworth played the Chopin First Piano Concerto in E Minor with the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra from Port Charlotte, Florida; the ensemble was conducted by Janita Hauk. The actual footage you see is from the third concert of a three-part series and was held in Bonita Springs, Florida at one of the local churches, First Presbyterian.

As you may well know, this Concerto No. 1 is incorrectly published. The F Minor Chopin (catalogued as number 2) is really the first concert piece for piano and orchestra to come from Chopin's hand. This is an all too familiar story when compared to the Beethoven Concerti.

P.S. The first movement (2 parts posted) was listed on YouTube in early April of 2007. The link for it is Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zQBp87hl4c and Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOD7fxDFJBo

It would have been more helpful had you structured your comments in a pedagogical fashion. I know you are going by gut reaction, but do you actually play the piece and can you shed some light on what is the crux of the matter...? (Yes, the obvious is apparent concerning the orchestra, but it is composed of mainly volunteer musicians.)

Orchestra could have been better...and I'm by no means a professional so maybe I shouldn't say anything...but I think he was playing too fast in some parts and some things didn't come out as well as they should have. Also some parts I didn't like how he interpreted it.
