Lang Lang Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 3 by Karl Lozier The concerto has turned out to be one of the best in the entire piano concerto repertoire. There seemed to be no shortcomings or weaknesses in his performance of the concerto and his playing in the lyrical or melodic sections was particularly luminous and downright enchanting. The next time he performed the concerto was with a composer he greatly admired as the conductor, Gustav Mahler. www.enjoythemusic.com /magazine/music/0902/rachmaninoff.htm   (864 words)

Piano Concerto #2 by Rachmaninoff Sergei Vissilievich Rachmaninoff was born in Oneg, district of Novgorod, Russia, on April 1, 1873, and died in Beverly Hills, California, on March 28, 1943.             Rachmaninoff’s opening gambit is a memorable one: a soft tolling in the solo piano that grows from almost nothing to a fortissimo cadence ushering in the somber march-like tread of the first theme, presented with dark colors in the low strings and clarinet, occasionally seconded by bassoons and horns.             Rachmaninoff was not a man of overflowing self-confidence, and his vocation as a composer had been seriously undermined by the premiere of his largest work to date, the First Symphony, composed in 1895 and first performed in St. Petersburg under the direction of Glazunov. www.okcphilharmonic.org /Default.aspx?p=2734   (996 words)

Sergei Rachmaninoff's difficulties began in 1897, when his newly completed First Symphony was viciously denounced by critics-one even suggested that the work might have been produced by ``a Conservatory in Hell.''

The Rachmaninov Lover's Home Page His most popular piano concerto, the Second, was written in 1900 and 1901. Rachmaninov's characteristic melancholy, his dignified evocation of folk tune (or is it cathedral hymn?) in the simplest orchestral garb -- piano octaves, solo winds in the orchestra -- is immediately effective. The concerto was too long and it lacked rhythmic and harmonic contrast between the first movement and the rest of the concerto. www.radix.net /~chinatom/rach.html   (1567 words)

Discography of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3 in D minor, op.

Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto No.3 (Ormandy) & Sonata No.2 The Rachmaninoff Third Concerto was undoubtedly the greatest piano concerto of the 20th century--and this is my desert island performance. The version of Rachmaninoff's Third Concerto was originally recorded live in January of 1978 and released about three weeks after the concert. The piano was mixed down too severely and seemed to recede behind the orchestra in some passages. web.telia.com /~u85420275/CDs/RCARach3Ormandy.htm   (394 words)

Horowitz plays Tchaikovsky/Rachmaninoff About the time of the latter I had the experience of live performances of both concertos with Horowitz and the Chicago Symphony, the Tchaikovsky conducted by Désiré Défauw, the Rachmaninoff by Artur Rodzinski, just a few weeks before Rodzinski was forced to leave the CSO. Vladimir Horowitz made the Rachmaninoff Third his own and here we have documentation of two of his live performances, both coupled with the other specialty of his, the Tchaikovsky First, both recorded about a decade apart, the Barbirolli performances dating from 1940/41, the others from 1949/50. However, it is of enormous interest for its companion, the Rachmaninoff Third conducted by Serge Koussevitzky recorded with the Hollywood Bowl Orchestra in August of 1950. classicalcdreview.com /RachTchfinal.html   (632 words)

Rachmaninoff CONCERTO NO. 3 WITH VOLODOS/Levine Now we have his performance of the mightiest of all piano concertos, Rachmaninoff's Third, recorded live in June 1999 with the Berlin Philharmonic conducted by James Levine, with shorter works of Rachmaninoff as fillers for a full-priced CD—that still has a playing time of only slightly more than an hour. The concerto is presented without the minor cuts Volodos made in broadcasts I've heard, and of course he plays the more elaborate first-movement cadenza which is what just about what everyone plays nowadays, even though it rather unbalances the work overall. Piano sound per se lacks brilliance (even on my JandM Labs speakers!), orchestral textures are homogenous with limited sense of presence, no silky soft strings to engulf the piano's gentler statements. classicalcdreview.com /rach3av.htm   (495 words)

classical music - andante - the third piano concertos of rachmaninoff and prokofiev The responsibility for this recording of the two most popular 20th-century Russian piano concertos rests primarily upon the slender but capable shoulders of Mikhail Pletnev, performing here as piano soloist with the Russian National Orchestra, which he founded. The Third Piano Concertos of Rachmaninoff and Prokofiev That the Rachmaninoff is less successful is partly explained by Pletnev's decision to play the longer and more massive of the composer's two alternate cadenzas for the first movement. www.andante.com /article/article.cfm?id=20816   (478 words)

SoundStage! Rachmaninoff: Piano Concerto No.3 It's as though he himself had lived the life and endured the trials as well as anticipation that caused Rachmaninoff, in preparation for his first American tour, to compose this concerto and practice its solo parts on a "dumb" piano while crossing the Atlantic in 1909. Like the composer and his contemporary, Horowitz, Volodos is fond of transcribing harrowing scores for solo piano, in this case, an andante lifted from Rachmaninoff’s sonata for violincello and piano, Op. This impressionistic dream filled with harp-like glissandi and gossamer is the perfect contrast to the lyrical yet athletically robust concerto which, in typical Rachmaninoff fashion, overwhelms with its fortissimo chorded staccato runs and features melodic themes reminiscent of Slavic folklore. www.soundstage.com /music/reviews/rev308.htm   (504 words)
