Come on Elena! More colorful beautiful piano sound than Richter=Emil Gilels Wilhelm Kempff Radu Lupu Artur Rubinstein Vladimir Ashkenazy Grigory Sokolov! More genius than Richter=Grigory Sokolov Solomon Cutner Maurizio Pollini! More powerful louder than Richter=Mikhail Pletnev(Prokofiev piano concerto no 1 by Pletnev!) The second loudest was Lazar Berman! The 3rd Loudest was Erwin Nyiregyhazi! Horowitz his technique better than Richter!!

You can open another account and like it once more.(:))

Peter Fritz Walter Rachmaninov was of the opinion that Grieg's piano concerto is the greatest of them all. Of course that was before he wrote his own second and third concertos.

Interesting. I was led to believe the work was a success from the start, with contemporaries such as Liszt approving and lauding the piece

Liszt liked and played it. Vindication enough for me.

Reply to self - I also consider Mozart to have been the greatest composer of all time with Beethoven ranked second but with a large gap between the two. Had Mozart not died of Scarlet Fever (the current theory) and lived to be 55 his works in the early Romantic Era would undoubtedly been staggering.

Gerry Rains Mozart most likely died of nephritis and antimony poisoning. I do agree with your assessment of his work. What would we have been blessed with had he lived a bit longer?!

Ben Sardinas That could be - we'll never be sure. He had many symptoms of Scarlet Fever, but there is no conclusive evidence since autopsies were not performed then and since he had no medical attention.

Beethoven's Fourth Piano Concerto makes me cry

Arielfischer If that's true you should definitely listen to the version with Geiseking - piano and Gunter Wand - conductor.

People with the ear and the soul deaf !!!! I think so

Sebastian Ponce Maybe

Nicky Minaj and Justin Bieber

From the original manuscript score, adding in the orchestral parts.

dve kifle pcela Great comment. kudos to you.

dve kifle pcela Couldn't have said it better myself. This is my motto, I just hadn't composed it yet.

dve kifle pcela But Richter is better.

+dve kifle pcela, Oh please. Beethoven held several piano duels against other pianists and composers where they competed in improvisation etc. Then there's the story of Bach and Marchand organizing a harpsichord duel, which Marchand forfeited upon hearing Bach warming up on the instrument. Handel and Scarlatti dueled on organ and harpsichord, Handel winning the organ part and Scarlatti besting Handel on the harpsichord. Liszt and Thalberg famously battled to be crowned greatest pianist on earth. They competed to write the most awe-inspiring opera transcriptions etc. Heck, even many people argue that the idea of competition is built-into the concerto form itself. Some composers have overtly envision their concerti as battles between the soloist and orchestra. This is why Glenn Gould was always ill-at-ease with the concerto repertoire, because he instinctively felt this rivalry. Composers have been famously jealous of the popularity of another composer. There's books written about it, for pete's sake.

The reality is that on some level, there are musicians who are better at their chosen instruments than others. Some composers are better than others. I unequivocally think Bach was a better/greater composer than someone like Elton John. Call me crazy, but that's what I think.

And Arturo Benedetti Michaeangeli! You forgot he is the best one!

..and Van Cliburn with Moscow and Kiril Kondrashin

@@pierrehenripontac8493 Cliburn his Grieg concerto the 3rd movement coda is the best structure! But piano sound Cliburn in 1972 in Moscow too Cool!

This is a perspective. Of course I can understand your joy when you hear from these outstanding personalities such R. Lupu or A. Runbinstein the real golden sound you are reffering to, but try to understand also the other perspective: If someone is NOT searching to achive the golden sound for or from E. Grieg but tries to give a very special, individual, in a way private and unique sound to this piece, than here it is. I swear I hear a norwegian composer trying to express his youth, his feelings, his architecture and his personality. This is what Richter always tries and achieves: To give the listener a very unique "portrait" of the piece and the composer, but without any artificial effort, so that at the end you think, you are hearing the piece itself, and not Richter.

Don't forget Martha Argerich

marmasiotis well put.

don't forget lipatti.

andries vds You are toally correct! The real Gods of Grieg concerto Rubinstein Gilels Lupu Lipatti.The poor magazine The Gramophone say buy Stephen Bishop-Kovacevich´ Grieg record CD.should be buy Lupu´s Grieg concerto record
