The wonder of RU-vid! NOw we get to enjoy music from composers we dont even know existed. Let us all appreciate this moment for we are able to have access to so many delightful Music in youtube without having to pay anything except for wifi.

Bisher hatte ich noch nie etwas von diesem Komponisten gehört! Dieses Klavierkonzert gehört aber zu den schönsten, die ich kenne!

This piece deserves to be mentioned in the same sentence as any great Piano Concerto! Such delightful music....full of depth that moves your soul and carries you into another dimension.

I had never heard about this composer. His work deserves to become more known. This is a lovely concerto, akin to Mozart. Thank you for bringing me these happy moments.🤗

You are really unique bringing to us these little known classical gems - thank you !!

what a great music! this man had great knowledge of all masters before him, a sure hand in writing and can tie his audience

Жаль,що ми ніколи не знали цих композиторів! Незаслуговано позабуті твори. Велика подяка за можливість прослухати цю красу!

Ma sentite che grazia di concetti musicali in questo compositore nuovo per me.Si vede che io non sono un musicofilo,ma solo un amante dell'arte dei suoni.Come lo sono dell'arte dei colori e delle parole.Bravo questo Lessel con queste note zampillanti felicità.Bene,benissimo:l'arte che io prediligo è quella che porta gioia.Grazie,Franciszek,che mi regali parte della tua anima a festa a nche per me.

KuhlauDilfeng2... thank you for uploading so many amazing music from unknown composers.

Thank you for this beautiful music new to me. What a wonderful service you provide !!!! Regards-John

Selten hat ein Stück Musik mein Herz so direkt und intensiv berührt wie dieses großartige Werk.

Absolutely delightful music and performance! 🙂

Mit grösstem Dank an Sie dafür, daß Sie diese vielen wunderschönen Musikstücke ausfindig machen und hier laden. Einen Gutteil dieser Komponisten kannte ich ja leider nicht. Es sind meine schönsten Stunden abends bis nächtens diese herrlichen Musikstücke genießen zu dürfen. Sie leisten damit auch wertvolle Kulturarbeit indem Sie die Lücke füllen, die unsere "Öffentlich Rechtliche Rundfunk und Fernsehgesellschaft" sträflich vernachlässigt.

Un concerto vraiment sublime . Un compositeur particulièrement inspiré. L'ensemble est très très mélodieux . Un grand bravo au compositeur et à tous ces merveilleux musiciens qui , par bonheur, le font revivre ! La Pologne a une âme très profonde , sans aucun doute .Les Polonais sont indéniablement un grand peuple !

Bravissimo 👏👏👏

W sumie zasłynął z tego koncertu. Piękny motyw, rozwijany dalej w ciekawe frazy.

I heard this magnificent work on C-Span and had no idea who had composed it. I e-mailed them and they replied that it was Lessel. I had never heard of him and oh what gorgeous music I have been missing! Thank you for sharing this rare gem! It is truly one of the most beautiful piano concertos ever written. Its chromaticism and craftsmanship show Lessel to be a musical genius! Braviss-iss-ISS-imo!

The painting: Diana and Endymion (1630s) by Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665)

Why are polish people so good at composing classical songs?

I really liked this page: I found here many composers that I had never heard! Franciszek Lessel is one of them ... Мне очень понравилось на этой странице: Я нашел здесь много композиторов, что я никогда не слышал! Францишек Lessel является одним из них ...

Seldom has a piece of music touched my heart as directly and intensively as this great work.

Gracias.Por este concierto.Memorable. Lleno de vida .De colores y de tonos magicos.

Потрясающе! Бесподобноڰۣ✿ Удивительная красотаڰۣ✿

Figlio di una insegnate di musica ho suonato jazz per anni ma amando allo stesso tempo la musica classica ho sempre ascoltato gli autori che ritenevo i più noti.Adesso,a distanza di anni,desiderando approfondire la storia del piano del periodo romantico..beh..sono rimasto STRABILIATO dal numero incredibili di autori.Certamente,sono un buon orecchiante..ma neppure immaginavo esistessero tante menti geniali nel fervido '800.Steibelt,Cramer,Kalkbremmer,Czerny,Moscheles,Herz,von Bulow,Alkan!!!!!!!!!Ma è un numero impressinante..se penso che di autore in autore sono giunto a Krogulski,I.Marx,Dobrzynski,Dussek,questo dolcissimo Lessel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PROPRIO DA RINANERNE STORDITI!Ed a pensare che nei paesi ISLAMICI...chi ascolta questa musica viene arrestato.Dio che ORROREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!Ma esiste un Dio?

I have never heard of that composer before, and I am surprised indeed how good his concerto is, especially first movement. Lessel is even not commonly known in his native Poland. Thank you, dear old composer. And thanks also for posting that piece of music.

Raramente uma música tocou meu coração de forma tão direta e intensa quanto esse grande trabalho !

Wieder ein Adagio zum träumen, herrlich !

Thanks Again & Again, Amazing Contributions, May The Lords Peace Be Upon You...

Clássico e romântico , bom de escutar.

C'est une musique très belle, jouée avec une compétence exceptionnelle et un sentiment de puissance intérieure faramineuse. Une expérience d'écoute délicieuse! It's a very beautiful music, played with exceptional skill and an impressive interior feeling. A delightful listening experience !

Un concierto diferente. Y por lo tanto.Hermoso.

Não me canso de ouvir, principalmente, o III mov.

You can taste Joseph Haydn in this lovely concerto He studied for some time with the great maestro. The Rondo has a lovely theme.

Em 2:43 deu nó na garganta e chorei muito, muito !!!

Un chef d'oeuvre de l'époque, entre Mozart, Beethoven, Hummel et qui annonce les concerti polonais de Dobrynski et bien sûr de Chopin. Tout cela en mêlant le style classique, brillant mais pas trop, avec dans le developpement du premier mouvement des modulations et un pianisme digne du premier concerto de Chopin. Le troisième mouvement avec son thème polonais, comme chez Dobrynski, complétant cette filiation avec Chopin. Il existe une version de ce concerto avec celui de Dobrynski, avec le label de l'institut Natinonal Chopin qui est encore plus belle. Christophe Vidal.

Un allegro vraiment génial ! Une magnifique mélodie , que je placerais sur le même plan que certaines du divin Mozart ! Je ne me lasse pas de l'écouter , encore et encore !! Une pure merveille !!!!!!

A nice Mozartian concerto. Composed a little late for its style but still a lovely listen.

Rara vez una pieza de música tocó mi corazón de forma tan directa e intensa como esta obra maestra.

Le tableau présentě avec le concert est de Nicolas Poussin, "Endymion et Diane" (ou "Endymion et Séléné", ce qui est pareil).

Very interesting sounding piano

Como un esplendoroso rayo de luz, penetra esta majestuosa y jovial pieza musical en las entrañas ocultas de mi espíritu. Expectante hasta que se hace noche estrellada al fin de su soberbia ejecución.

ohh, these melodies at 10:34 !

fiquei muito impressionado !!

this is period instruments at last. thank you!

Je connaissais Lessel par une ancienne émission de Fr Musique consacrée à la musique polonaise romantique.Ici on est entre Mozart et Chopin sans le génie des deux ! Cependant très agréable à écouter.

the third movement is delightful! And with a bit of the futuro Chopin!

so amazing ... bravo!!!!

Beautiful!

Fascinante, la fantasía orquestal es una marcha impetuosa en el estilo clásico, aunque por momentos evoca en pasajes el serialismo. Si es mozartiano es sobre todo por lo sublime que es a como lo fue la obra del músico, sin embargo un genio más inspirado en el por voces de notas musicales dictadas por ángeles, me hubiese gustado cadencia más larga en el primer movimiento.

This finale gets me everytime. Almost sounds modern. Kind of a precursor to the chromaticism we would later see with Chopin and Liszt.

Dit pianoconcert is ook heel mooi, evenals het concert op. 153 van Carl Czerny Men moest vaker dit soort muziek afspelen op de radio!!!

Thank you for another almost-unknown, graceful work worth listening to. By the way, since you're using the name and portrait of Friedrich Kuhlau, aren't you posting many of his works? ... Am I missing them?

That is actually astonishing. And Imagine, that overhelming majority of Poles don't know this composer existed. Education in our "independent" country. We still live under occupation, but now only few is aware.

Very nice concerto! I like polish (Polska) classic music very much! But I want to listen performance of this concerto on modern piano! Is It being exist, Pany?

KuhlauDilfeng Du kommst in den Himmel!!!

the other Polish Poet.

thank you!

Interessante, desde logo na exposição orquestral, que me fez recordar certas composições de origem italiana, nomeadamente de Rossini. Possivelmente um acaso. Pena que a sonoridade do pianoforte iniba uma audição um pouco mais "moderna". Lessel foi aluno de Haydn. Interesting, right from the orchestral exhibition, which reminded me of certain compositions of Italian origin, namely Rossini. Possibly a coincidence. Too bad that the sound of the pianoforte inhibits a slightly more "modern" hearing. Lessel was Haydn's pupil.

Haydn's Polish pupil. Delightful!

Lovely concerto, although I don't share the somehow excessive enthusiasm of a few comments I read herewith. To name one, Hummel wrote much worthy pieces in that period, not to forget Field and others. However there are selected gems in this half an hour music, especially the opening of Rondo, unconventional and extremely well written, selected moments of Adagio and the "Rossinian" closure of Allegro with a convincing genuine "crescendo" that redeems a quite conventional "donata form" first movement.

Performed on the appropriate instrument, too :-)

Baie mooi.

merci aussi pour la peinture mais quel est ce peintre et le titre de son tableau, autant Complete notre culture , lol merci

The final movement makes me feel sea-sick.

Is it a Forte piano?

Ouvi Haydn e Mozart novamente.

Although he uses the classical style, he is not Mozart or Haydn. It should serve as an example to those who think all western Classical works are same,

Interesting that in the first movement the composer dispenses with the expected tonic 6/4 orchestral tutti and "conventional" extended cadenza. Stylistically this is somewhat retrospective for 1810, but it is quite charming without waxing too dramatic.

Beethoven Piano Concerto No.3

Yes, but why are you called Fredeirch Kuhlau - he died in1872 !! are you alive ? Anyway your choice is a good one.

Tempo ciut ślimacze.

Ein Schüler Haydns, das bedeuted viel

I like it, but I think the fast parts are played a little too fast.

It's a pretty piece but I don't think that playing the solo on a fortepiano adds anything to the performance - quite the contrary.

Allegro: 21:12
