underrated concerto, deserves more performances. some of the melodies are cutely heroic but it still features saint saens technique, innovation and timelessness.
Concerto magnifico, assolutamente perfetto nell'architettura musicale e commovente nelle melodie. Impressionante che un essere umano sia riuscito a congegnare una meraviglia del genere.❤
Saint Saens è uno dei miei musicisti preferiti.Ragazzo prodigio, le sue sinfonie e i concerti per pf. costituiscono il meglio del romanticismo orchestrale francese,e non solo,insieme a quello di Berlioz. Come non si possono apprezzare i suoi concerti,cosi' come Bartje li ha caricati? Ottima la registrazione .Roge' è tecnicamente indiscutibile e la PO lo supporta splendidamente.
I came to the same realisation yesterday as I tried to find one such live recording. The third movement of this concerto is sheer joy and I wanted to watch it being played. It's a pity we are deprived of this.
If I can discipline myself to learn this concerto, I will make sure it is video-taped live. I'll be in full formal attire just like in the olden days, with coat tails, high neck collar, and choker bow-tie. Please pray for me to that end, as my days on this earth are numbered. Pushing 80. Thank you kindly. 👃🤗🎹🎶🎵

Oui, c'est vraiment une beauté. Saint seans glisse souvent parmi ses grandes œuvres de petites mélodies sublime. Son concerto n°5 vers 2 minutes à aussi un belle et sublime mélodie.
Pour moi St-Saëns n'est vraiment pas reconnu à sa juste valeur. Magnifiques concertos pour piano, pour violon, pour violoncelle et sublime 3ème symphonie. Il est vrai que son "look" fait trop sérieux. Dommage car pour moi il fait partie des tous meilleurs compositeurs français et même mondiaux.
Вроде как считается,что мало исполняемые произведения в самом деле неудачны,что есть причина для редкого исполнения. Но тут я так не считаю. Чудесный концерт. Исполняется крайне редко. 2 и 5 концерты его вытеснили из мировой сокровищницы. Напрасно.
The Saint-Saens piano concerti, in my experience, are some of the most glorious expressions of Western art and yet oddly a much underrated, under-performed body of works by the regard of both piano and orchestral repertory scheduling by major symphony orchestras. I don't understand the contradiction. I'm really weary of the repetitive programming by American orchestras. Perhaps European orchestras are more ecumenical, but here in most U.S. big-city halls, it's Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Grieg, Tchaikovsky, Dvorak, Sibelius, Rimsky-Korsakoff, Shostakovich & Copland. Ta-da! With occasional Brahms, Strauss, Borodin, Resphigi, Britten, Mahler, Ravel and John Adams. Almost never Purcell, Rameau, Handel, Telemann, Saint-Saens, Bizet, Glinka, Bellini, Bartok, Glazunov, Gliere, Satie, Debussy, Nielsen, Field, Khachaturian, Berg, Poulenc, Smetana, Faure, Delibes, Webern, Wagner, Verdi & Puccini (symphonic transcriptions), Scriabin, Holst, Delius, Henze, Gorecki, Hindemith, Foss, Barber, Nono, Revueltas, Weill, Feldman, Janacek, Grainger, Albeniz, Beach, Charpentier, Honneger, Joplin, Carter, Gershwin, Berio, Ginastera, Boulez, Penderecki, Nancarrow, Xenakis, Babbitt, Walton, Boulanger, Da Falla, Kodaly, Partch, Corigliano, Orff, Milhaud, Villa-Lobos, Hindemith, Menotti, Dallapiccola, Cowell, Biebl, Harris, Ives, Harrison, Riley, Ades, Richter or Nythism. Now, I'll concede that orchestras must do certain things just to stay in existence. But the human imagination, especially when vital tympani of the young are recruited, can balance the decently delightful and dutiful with the daringly dissonant and death-defying, without losing the dainty-deportment of deep-pocketed patrons. If, for example, the Marketing dept, demands something digestible in Db (major, of course), give them a medium-length work of lyrical grace and propulsive conviction--ostensibly in C# but actually somewhat ambiguous mode from the early Baroque, rich in polyrhythms, peppered with quotations from utterly unexpected composers, all in a work that's punchy but short enough for another gorgeous work (one especially beloved by the most popular board member), to be planned for encore, and which can take its generous time. (You're too hot for your own good--yep, Rameau as scheduled, Barber for the encore.) Before the performance take the viola section out to a nice dinner, and make sure the wind section used tons of glint. Voila! We got seventy-five new subscribers for next season, or my name isn't Wolfgang Xenakis Nono.
Why this concerto did not eclipse no. 2 and no.4 (Cortot recorded it as well as Casadesus and many others ) and become the go-to concerto along with Strauss Burlesque I'll never know . I should learn it it sounds good even on a single piano and the orchestral interludes too can be handled by 2 hands . This IZZZ dee GO TO Early-ROMANTIC ERA CONCERTO ! Not Rubinstein not all those others . Mendellsohn ,Chopin ,Hummel - yeah we know .
@@도토오리-n4h a classicist is not a different word for composer of classical music. Musicians who play the classical music play music if the last 1000 years. However classicism is also a time period in classical music. Mozart is a prime example of classicism. Together with Haydn and Beethoven. Ravel and Debussy are from different time periods in music and are therefore not classicists but they are still classical composers.
