Absolutely amazing composition.

I can understand after this concerto why this guy is not famous…

12:10

the theme at 24:19 is kind of reminscent of this moment from rachmaninoff piano sonata 2 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ecWcgrKKuODTcpc.htmlsi=OZMmO9aILAdUZfcg&t=2354

Thank you so much for doing this amazing work!!! And beautiful discription as well.

I knew there will be Medtner just by the thumbnail! His concertos are so underrated! Piano concerto 3 has the greatest coda ever, but the 1st piano concerto has also many great reason to be on the list!

I've lost count of how many times I have listened to this. I rank it just below Rach 3 in my pantheon of favourite piano concerti. Paul Wee is out with a new recording of this that just dazzles.

This concert is - dare I say - perfect in any musical aspect I can think of, and very well may be, in my opinion, the most gorgeous and well written piano concerto there is. Also this video is amazing in analysing its clever motivic development

Pleasant.

Franck is not underrated

from 19:02 to the coda is one of the most colorfull, moving, and dramatic moments in music. There is so many themes , emotions, changes and moods, but it's still so linked, connected, related and it has clear climaxes and clear direction!

One of the best intepretations of this hidden gem! Imo, Medtner's piano concertos are the peak of it's genre!

some passages of the 1st movement remind me of Chopin‘s 2nd piano concerto in Fm

At 13:00 there is also the cross motif from theme B1 appearing in the cellos and bass voice of the piano, integrated on the overall A1 line. Such insanely rich polyphony, right?!

19:34

Really emotional interpretation, one of my favourites!

2nd mov.

Medtner's 3rd piano concerto is my most favourite concerto ever!

Very great and usefull analysis of this masterpiece! One of the most beautifull piano concerts ever, I love Medtner's creativity in thematic work!

I really need to dive deeper into Medtner's work

One movement in, already love this

The way he plays this is a miracle. You can tell he’s been through a lot in life and it shows in his profound playing. Tozer can do anything on the piano. Love it.

Tozer was such an amazing pianist, and his Medtner interpretations are generally of the highest quality. However, to me this performance seems too rushed, especially when compared to Medtner's slower tempo, or Mejoueva's masterful rubato. Fun fact: In his notes to this piece, Medtner specified a duration of 4 minutes and 20 seconds. His recording of the work matches that almost exactly, as does Mejoueva's (at least in one of her live recordings).

Elgar and Smetana underrated? Who by? Certainly not me, or many others.

Beautiful, but a bit repetitive

My opinion on this piano work, it is the most sublime melody. If you don't feel it, then you don't deserve to be called an artist musician, you are just noise

25:09 what was that? A trill? Can some one tell and wich note

Now I know how to do CPR.

How do you use this rhythm for CPR? Its all over the place.

27:54

24:13

The Anton Rubinstein 4th Piano Concerto is supposed to be extremely difficult, also but this one sounds worse. However, the Rubinstein is a great piece of music, IMO. This one by Henselt is pretty mediocre musically speaking. Just my opinion, FWIW.

End of Kapustin's 5th concerto is really good as well.

Hamelin's recording on Hyperion is soooooo much better.

No Feinberg 3?

The last Medtner bit is my favourite

glad to see medtner on here! Maybe do the Climax of the bortkiewicz ballade next? (Op. 42 i think)

Got not sound here. YT must have deleted it.

Really dislike Tozer's Tragica actually. It's played too fast and it becomes muddy and sloppy. Tozer is usually phenomenal (e.g. his rendition of the Minacciosa) but sometimes it's a clear miss.

Is Saint-saens underrated...?????? sounds misleading...

Next video:greatest piano edging

Yes, Alkan and Medtner are great, actually they are my most favourite composers ever!

1:11 score lost two bars.

they're overrated, should be left to rot in history.

Tan bueno

I love this music. I am not trained enough to follow compositional fine points, but I can follow the sea of multifaceted emotions in these tunes. Thanks for uploading.

When I first listened to it somehow I got caught by the first melody. It didn’t even make sense, it’s so simple, there’s almost no melody at all in a way. But it’s quite a beautiful melody

3:37-4:40 is just some of the coolest music ever written

Although I appreciate the technical aspects of this work and it would be fun to play through it a few times this work suffers from a fundamental lack of catchy melodies or themes. I'm not saying it doesn't have moments but generally it's just a lot of arpeggios and octave runs we've all heard an played a thousand times before. Technically brilliant, musically mediocre.
