Excellent concerto, it deserves to be more known and played all around!

Not human! I fell in love with this Thalberg.

i live for the moments when the piano takes over from the Orchestra

KZfaq has allowed many music lovers the opportunity to finally discover the works of composers who were hitherto forced to the margins of history. I have been especially loving the work of guys like Thalberg and Anotn Reicha. I feel Reicha is especially in need of greater study and wider appreciation. THis work by THalberg is beautiful, classically proportioned with many amazing moments and great turns of phrase - lots of sturm and drang - and that wonderful romantic F minor mood that shines thru in chopin and beethoven.

Astonishing.I have been lucky enough to have been introduced to "classical" music more than 65 years ago and I keep learning more every day (born 1943)This pianist has amazing sensitivity,

4:34-5:21 So playful, I love it.

I won't say this concerto is a masterpiece, but it is a very worthy work and doesn't deserve the obscurity to which it has descended. I'd pay to see it performed live, that's for sure.

This is the kind of music that makes me feel otherworldly.

No matter how often I listen to this concerto, it's magnificent !

Superb stuff and I just love the painting in the video which is titled "Winter in Switzerland" by Jasper Francis Cropsey, 1861.

Excellently written and excellently performed. Thalberg, the greatest piano virtuoso (he was also a composer) of those times (and perhaps the greatest pianist ever), and this can be seen in the fees. Liszt and Chopin "constantly stealing" the piano craft from Thalberg. He managed to produce a three-dimensional sound on the piano in the concert hall!

When I listen to these pieces of the past which are practically never played by great pianists I wonder why they are almost unknown. They should also be included in repertoires, since they also have their own values. We are a bit fed up with pianists always playing the same piano concertos (Chopin, Schumann, Liszt, Brahms, etc etc ). These other concertos should also be played every now and then for a change.

This pianist has an uncommonly beautiful sound and deserves to be better known.

Magnifico concierto, gran destreza del pianista

Thanks for opening my eyes to this colourful, imaginative and totally engaging composer.

Something to consider: Chopin had only just left Poland in 1830, so Thalberg (and most of Europe) had likely never heard of him at the time of writing this concerto. So where do the apparent stylistic similarities between their concertos come from? For the answer to that, please listen to Hummel's piano concerti, particularly the concerto in A minor, op. 85, which influenced not only Chopin but also Mendelssohn and Schumann. Thalberg's piano concerto is even dedicated to Hummel, so the source of the influence is quite easy to trace.

A marvelous concerto and brilliant performance. Thalberg wrote this when he was 18 ?? Wow!

what a beautiful magical era !

My son sent me this video and I'm thankful to him for the opportunity to listen this wonderful concert that I have necer heard it before. And the play of the pianist was excellent

composed when he was 18 :D

This is a beautiful piano concerto.

Very good concerto overshadowed by other works to often performed. Quite Chopinesque still delightfully played giving us a glimpse at Thalbergs genius

This is a quite wonderful concerto and one which deserves to be much better known. (Unlike some neglected music which is neglected for good reasons). It is very reminiscent of Chopin and Mendelssohn; like those composers Thalberg was clearly as youthful prodigy given that this was composed when he was only eighteen.

Absolutely wonderful. Thank you.

What a delightful and stirring concerto! I had never heard it before, until today. I shall look for more compositions by Herr Thalberg. Hopefully, .some of them are performed live. Vielen Dank, KuhlauDilfeng2!

Wonderful. Thanks for posting this beautiful work.

Et dire qu'il y a un mois je ne connaissais pas ce compositeur ! maintenant je l'écoute en boucle , merci !

To listen to Thalberg is to abolish the surge of noises and images of everyday life to open up the space of an elsewhere where contingency and representation give way to the immateriality of the sensible. Once closed the door on the agitation of the world, an underlying silence settles down, a slowness seizes, preludes to a dilation of the perception and the conscience. The expressive power of sound architecture breaks with all forms of transcription of the real to focus on expression of an elusive universe

KuhlauDilfeng, Thanks for this beautiful concert.

Pure merveille 🎶💓🎶✨

0:00 first movement 13:43 second movement 18:33 third movement

Excellentissime. Merveilleux. Rentre dans mon top 10. Merci pour ce partage.

What wonderful music, many thanks for uploading .

the Piano Concerto is really beautiful in every part of its composition Martin Briddon 8th December 2019 Classical Pianist from Chesterfield Derbyshire

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Gracias por este fantástico concierto. Es espectacular..¡¡¡

This concerto displays a wide and varied psychological, emotional and intellectual typography. I found it so delightfully engaging from start to finish. This composer had skills! His virtuosity doubtless added tremendously to the dramatic punch especially of the first movement. I was particularly captivated by the cadenza halfway through the first movement. It was like a plateau and beautiful landing to continue onto the conclusion of a scenic journey. There was an abundance of melody expertly conceived and developed to draw in the listener to make him a happy collaborator and anticipator of what was around each corner and bend. The slow movement was contemplative and soothing; though I was surprised at it’s brevity. The finale was a very fitting run of scintillating and spirited ideas that made me smile for the duration. Very masterful I say and indicative of the mutual influence enjoyed by the composers of that era to inspire all to produce their best efforts. Brava!!! PWG

Marvelous!

From the first sounds ❤

YES, FERDIA, JUST ASTONISHING TO DISCOVER THALBERG, THROUGH THEGENEVA STREET NAMED AFTER THIS WONDERFUL AND UNIQUE MUSICIANS, THAT WE ALL OWE SUCH A LOT ... CHEERS PATRICK

... this is fantastic. Thank you!

Concerto inspiradíssimo é maravilhoso! Thalberg externou todo o seu virtuosismo com técnica e até moderação!

Brilliant 3rd movement, another great upload Kuhlau, bless you.

Awesome! Beautiful music.

concert pianists should dare more in their rconcerts' programs and play also this forgotten repertoire

Fantastic and great work.

Brilliant!

Inspiré par Chopin, concurrent de Liszt,Thalberg brillant pianiste n’a pas réussi à dépasser ses maîtres mais son concerto op 5 s’écoute toujours avec ravissement !

The use of the orchestra is superior to chopins concertos and comparabke to mendelssohn in my opinion. the piano part is very beautiful, too. this concerto should be played more often.

I really enjoyed the piano. Very good orchestral piece. Thank you for this lovely work.

I believe the third movement begins at 18:32, and thanks for all of the great music!

it deserves a video

The is what magic sounds like.

I really don't understand, why only a couple of composers are performed most of the time in the Concert Halls ? ........ Thalberg, A. Rubinstein, Dussek, Wiklund, F.Danzi and many others should be taken in their repertuar of the talented pianists.

superbe peinture!

👏🏻

Un vrai plaisir.

wish he composed more concertos

I live in a Villiage in germany Called Thalberg

It was very good!

I just discovered Thalberg. Maybe weirdly but, I find that this piece sounds like a "mix" between a Dvorak symphony (the adventure), every Mozart pieces (especially the Requiem, I don't know why...) and a Beethoven piano concerto (the piano at its best between velocity and melancholy)

Amazing! All wonderful, from allegro to rondo. Thanks for this post! Always knowing the least expected. By the way, where does this charming painting come from? Espetacular! Toda maravilhosa, do allegro ao rondo. Agradeço por esta postagem! Sempre conhecendo o que menos se esperava. A propósito, essa encantadora pintura de onde vem?

excellent comcerto de Sigismond thalbert a ecouté sur un voilier tout t'en vogant sur les vagues

GORGEOUS!!

Nicolosi has an outstanding performance here on the piano. This is a very weird painting. What is the meaning of life in the mountains like that?

Wow, the first bar is like exactly the c- minor Chopin prelude. :)

Uuuuuu that's goooooood

Very Chopin-esque. ❤️

Sicuramente più bello dei due concerti per pianoforte di Chopin e di quelle di palle di concerti per piano di Liszt

bello

The rondo is amazing 18:32

Alkan`s concerto a-moll was premiered a year after

Das erinnert sehr an Carl Maria von Weber

Very enjoyable, I can hear Hummel as well as Chopin in this work

Thalberg is considered to-day as a challenger of Liszt in terms of virtuosity, that is all. His work as a compooser is fuly forhotten. Of course, it is much more conventional than Liszt's, and the role of the orchestra is less important and more conventional - iy is not really a concrto, like many of similar compositions, since there is no "competition" between the piano and the orchestra, as in Mozart, Beethoven's, KIset's, Brahms' conertos, but this score is far from being negligible. It was worth to discover it again.

Does anybody know the name of this wonderfully picture ?

Sigismund Thalberg est un pianiste et compositeur autrichien né à Genève le 8 janvier 1812 et mort à Naples le 27 avril 1871. Jeunesse et formation Portrait de Thalberg enfant. Sigismund Thalberg est né le 8 janvier 1812 à Genève (ville française, à l'époque) et est enregistré à l’état civil comme étant le fils de Joseph Thalberg et Fortune Stein, tous deux originaires de Frankfurt-am-Main. Mais il a été établi qu’en fait Sigismund était le fruit d’une union illégitime et qu’en conséquence on lui avait attribué une fausse filiation et de faux noms. En effet, Sigismund Thalberg est en réalité le fils de la baronne Wetzlar et du prince Franz Joseph von Dietrichstein (ou son frère Moritz von Dietrichstein), qui était déjà marié. Cela dit, rien n’est sûr, et l’intrigue de la naissance de Thalberg reste entière, malgré des indices troublants. On connaît peu de choses sur la jeunesse de Thalberg. Mais la tradition veut qu'il ait rejoint la capitale autrichienne à l’âge de dix ans, accompagné de sa mère. Dès lors, il aurait pris des cours de piano avec Czerny et Hummel, mais à nouveau rien n’est sûr, ce d’autant plus que Czerny, dans ses Mémoires, ne fait pas état d’une quelconque rencontre avec Thalberg. En revanche, il aurait étudié avec le bassoniste August Mittag, premier basson du Hofoper de Vienne. Cette rencontre aurait été primordiale dans la vie de Thalberg : en effet, selon plusieurs sources, Sigismund, en arrivant à Vienne, se serait lié d’amitié avec le duc de Reichstadt, fils de Napoléon et de Marie-Louise d'Autriche, mieux connu sous le surnom de « l’Aiglon ». Ce dernier lui aurait tant relaté les hauts faits militaires de son père que Thalberg aurait été prêt d’embrasser une carrière militaire. L’on doit donc à Mittag la primeur d’avoir découvert le talent de Sigismund pour la musique et de l’avoir dirigé dans cette voie. Thalberg en 1826 À partir de l’année 1826, la biographie de Thalberg devient plus claire et les faits plus sûrs. Cette même année, il prend des leçons avec le pianiste Ignaz Moscheles, l’un des grands virtuoses de l’époque, et se produit pour la première fois en public, le 17 mai. En 1827, il joue le concerto en si mineur de Hummel. Dès lors, sa carrière est lancée et il joue régulièrement en public à Vienne. Son répertoire est surtout classique mais déborde sur les débuts du romantisme, avec les Concerti de Beethoven et les œuvres de Hummel. L’année suivante, en 1828, Thalberg publie sa première œuvre ; il s’agit de la Fantaisie sur des thèmes d’Euryanthe de Weber.

Awesome, I had only heard his Moses Fantasy with the "three handed" technique.

Does anyone know the name or author of the painting?

You can easily hear the influence of Chopin here and there. It is no surprise as Thalberg was a fan of Chopin among others.

Dios mío!

Love this. What was the intersection of Thalberg's concerto with Chopin's concertos? Wouldn't be surprised if Chopin was 'inspired' by this, but don't know (as I write). The Rondo is particularly 1830s-Paris-salon scrumptious. Delightful.

What is the name if painting?

6:45 - 7:00 !!

Yes, please, whose painting is this :)??

very nice........always the same theme for me.........why always the same concerts in live............or the same dvd, cd, etc.etc.etc. and always around the same composers!!!!!!! why this not????

Sounds like Chopin! but, Pretty! Still!

This some good shit

17:57 Liszt's Ricordanza ?

Composed after Chopins F minor concerto. I can hear many passages borrowed from Chopin

Das erinnert mich an Chopin.....

No matter how structurally engrained into the sonata form of the finale the f-minor first theme is, the third and final return to the minor is always startling and disconcerting. What was Thalberg trying to prove by it?

er war erst 18.

one of the most important composers of the 19th C & moreso than Liszt who was a vulgarian

Me at 18 y.o.: Umh Idk what to do in my life. It's so hard😭 Thalberg at 18 y.o:

Thalberg ' s werks are very good and romantic. But they hasn't pass the tests of time. Interesting,what artists of our century would be classic

Linares.

3.12 alla chopin

Perhaps the ability to play a piano was compared with Liszt without a „ winner“, but, as this concertodemonstrates, Liszt was the more consummate artist that could compose music as well.

sounds a bit like schubert.
