From the LP shown above, issued in 1954. The recording you hear was made in 1947. Artur Rubinstein is soloist; Walter Susskind leads the Philharmonia Orchestra.
Note: Rubinstein hits a wrong note at the start of variation 19 (at about 16:37). I would be interested to know if this error, for which at the time of this recording there was no technology to correct, has been edited in more recently produced CD versions of this performance.
Рапсодия на тему Паганини ля минор, opus 43 - произведение Сергея Рахманинова для фортепиано с оркестром. Рахманинов работал над этим сочинением на вилле Сенар (близ Веггиса в Швейцарии) с 3 июля по 18 августа 1934 года. Премьера состоялась в Lyric Opera House в Балтиморе 7 ноября 1934 г., партию фортепиано исполнил автор в сопровождении Филадельфийского оркестра под управлением Леопольда Стоковского. В этой музыке ностальгия соединяется с откровенной «дьявольщиной». Недаром Рахманинов включил в нее мотив «Dies irae». Премьерное исполнение было записано. Среди других знаменитых исполнителей, записавших Рапсодию, - Артур Рубинштейн, Владимир Ашкенази, Вэн Клайберн.
Der russische Komponist Sergei Rachmaninow schrieb seine Rhapsodie über ein Thema von Paganini im Sommer des Jahres 1934 innerhalb weniger Wochen in seiner Residenz bei Luzern. Sein Opus 43 wurde am 7. November 1934 in Baltimore mit Rachmaninow am Flügel und dem Philadelphia Orchestra unter Leopold Stokowski uraufgeführt. Etwa zehn Jahre zuvor hatte Rachmaninow die Uraufführung von George Gershwins (1898-1937) „Rhapsody in Blue" am 12. Februar 1924 in New York organisiert und dieser beigewohnt. Vergleicht man nun Besetzung (Klavierkonzert), Spieldauer (ca. 15 min bei Gershwin, ca. 20 min bei Rachmaninow) und Titel („Rhapsodie") beider Werke - und macht man sich die leicht an Jazz erinnernde X. Dies irae-Variation bei Rachmaninow bewusst -, so könnte man auf den Gedanken kommen, Rachmaninow hätte sich vielleicht durch seinen jüngeren Kollegen etwas inspirieren lassen (zumal Rachmaninow eine Leidenschaft für Jazz hegte).
A Rapsódia Sobre um Tema de Paganini (em russo: Рапсодия на тему Паганини) em lá menor, opus 43, é um trabalho concertante, com duração média de 20 a 25 minutos, escrito pelo compositor russo Sergei Rachmaninoff. A obra foi escrita para piano e orquestra, lembrando um concerto para piano, em Villa Senar, Suíça, de acordo com anotação na partitura, de 3 de Julho a 18 de Agosto de 1934. O próprio Rachmaninoff, notavelmente um intérprete dos próprios trabalhos, tocou piano na estréia da peça na Lyric Opera House em Baltimore, Maryland, EUA, em 7 de Novembro de 1934 com a Orquestra da Filadélfia regida pelo maestro Leopold Stokowski.

@peterbutler443 8 жыл бұрын

OMG the "WRONG NOTE"!!! WTH?? I really laughed out loud when I found it... and yes, I LOVE IT TOO! It reminds me of the note in the intro of Working on the Road, track 2 recorded in 1970 by Ten Years After on the album Cricklewood Green. They were obviously laying tracks to a reel to reel and over dubbing the master. At some point in the intro somebody's arm slightly touched the outside of the reel and the consequent slowing of the tape sounds like a digital frequency sweep. I am so glad that it was left in the original master because it makes the entire album so much more personal, never mind the fact that 98% of the people that will ever listen to it would ever actually know the difference. I feel exactly the same about this note! I really did hose myself when I found it. It will NEVER make Arthur any less of a genius. It only makes him more human, personal, accessible and more loved as far as I am concerned. Deadly sin, my tuchas!!

Phenomenal performance: Musically, technically; beautifully matched by a sympathetic and master conductor. Even for 1947 recording, you can hear "the Rubinstein unique, full, round sound". Even at high speed he makes music and sings in every note. Wrong notes? What a waste of time trying to catch one or two wrong notes and forget about catching the music!!!

wrong note is considered a deadly sin , it seems... I couldn't care less . Its a great performance in my book. A deadly sin to me is playing all the right notes and still not understand what you are playing.... (or listening to ,for that matter)

Love that wrong note...shows that genius lies not in correct notes alone! ;-) I feel I'm in the same room as Mr. Rubinstein and company. He brings a majestic depth to these variations without pretension nor syrup. The infamous 18th variation is just one of many in which we hear his light touch of trademark tone that belongs to him alone. Never before have I heard both Debussy and Prokofiev in this piece. Bravo! Encore, please!! The orchestra, too, was alive to conductor, music and soloist!

@daseladi 6 жыл бұрын

I agree with you, but why infamous, the 18th..? Rachmaninov was much criticized in periods from the 'modern' oriented critics, with a preference for the rational, non-emotionality en-vogue at the time. But I love it, love it - famous , infamous or whatever.

This is a fantastic performance from the musical and artistic point of view. Even though not edited this is still a masterful performance. Can you expect infallibility from any great artist? The split note is so slight it could escape attention. It is really a non-issue not worth of any attention!!!

@maxreger100 11 жыл бұрын

As you stated davidhertzberg, editing was not possible at the time of this recording. One simply performed a few takes and chose the best one. So, in a sense, we are really hearing performances--albeit originating in a studio. I. for one, hope they never "fix" the wrong note. BTW--was this originally pressed on 78's?

@1mctous 6 жыл бұрын

It was. In 1949 RCA reissued this on 3 clear red vinyl 45's (WDM-1269) and a 10" LP (LM-26). They added the Szymanowski 4th Symphony (nicknamed Concertante) for this 12" LP (LM-1744). All of these were probably dubbed from a 33 rpm acetate disc, since RCA didn't use tape until 1950.
