Erinnert mich teilweise an Billy Wilder's Film "The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes"! Großartiges Werk 🙏

Sounds like his film music- very dramatic.

I was there -- and boy, was it cold! It was an exciting performance, though a little disorienting because Rozsa had made some cuts after the premiere.

J'adore c'est un grand film ainsi que la musique

Premiered by Mr Pennario in 1967 in Los Angeles under the baton of Maestro Mehta Sometimes Gershwin's Concerto in F, sometimes Bartok's Second Concerto

As most people know, he was a film composer primarily. And when he wasn't scoring films, he was writing instrumental music like this, for various people he knew. This Piano Concerto was written in the mid-1960s for none other than the man performing it in this video. What I find really cool about this piece is that amidst all the staticky passagework is some really nice music, especially in the 2nd movement. It's not a sloppily sentimental 2nd movement, but it's sort of modern-romantic fusion.

It is really too bad that this piece is probably never to be heard regularly in concert performances, and has not been recorded by more than Pennario and like one or two other people. Actually, the recording of Evelyn Chen is fantastic. The problem is getting the orchestras to commit to learning it and spend enough rehearsal time putting it together. This piece has tons of meter changes and potential ensemble issues - again, it requires commitment. I play the Rozsa Violin Concerto. It's very similar to this as far as character and musical form. It's also quite formidable in the same way - harmonically very dark. The last movement of the Piano Concerto is just wicked, marked only "Vigoroso." The Violin Concerto's finale is a hoedown, and not a happy one at that, but some nice fireworks at the end and like the Piano Concerto, ends quite abruptly. It was written for Heifetz, who was good friends with Pennario despite a large difference in their ages.

In the first notes you recognize the handwriting of genius Miklos Rozsa

Terrific !!!!!!

Well... I guess the tyranny of the serialists and their journalistic fellow-travelers helped suppress this and many other pieces. It would not surprise me at all. They sneered at all such music, like babbitty little snobs and dark sphinxes, but the symphony audiences never wanted to hear their crap, but instead pieces such as this and so many others that were kicked to the curb in the name of progress.

I always get addinsell and rosza mixed up

Some Stravinsky influence here it seems.

My question is why the audience was not immediately on their feet giving him a standing ovation??!! If I'd been there, I wouldn't have been part of that tepid applause. SMH. His interview at the end...to learn the Grieg in six days is just crazy. I don't doubt he did it but what 12 year old learns something like that in under a week? Under a month, let's say?! Granted, the Grieg is not the hardest concerto out there but it's not exactly what I'd call "easy". But compared to the Rozsa, yeah. The Rozsa piano part sounds like it's even harder than the Rach 3rd. And all that horrid dissonance. The good thing about it though is that it has a distinct musical line, versus most other 20th century crap, atonal garbage that only appeals to like 4 people out of an audience of 1,000 or more.

Where´s the Theremin....

The movements are: I. Allegro energico II. Adagio III. Vigoroso

I recently learned Dr. Rózsa's Viola concerto. Not so thickly written as this, nevertheless difficult and wonderful. IMO it stands out among the three top Viola concertos ever. A brilliant tour de force by Mr. Pennario, who consistently dared to play offbeat works HE LIKED, usually from memory. We fall short of fearless pianists like him today. He was the first after the composer to record all four Rachmaninov concertos and the Paganini Variations. His debut at 12 with the Dallas SO was (as a last-minute replacement) in Grieg's concerto, which he learned in one week and was proud of mastering after school without missing any time from class.

This is a wild, exciting piece of music. Enjoy... and hold on!

That piece is no joke. Does anyone know for whom it was written?

M05032019. Es muy posible que Ave Caesar Quo Vadis-Rozsa sea la version corta de Hail Nero (Triumphal March): Ave Caesar (Triumphal March) Quo Vadis-Rozsa.

Those were the days when film composers were grouped with other technicians in the credits. Then somebody got wise and started giving composers solitary, prominent credits. I grew up seeing those credits, and I started remembering those names . . . Miklos Rozsa, Alfred Newman, Elmer Bernstein, Jerry Goldsmith, and--blazed into my consciousness when I first saw VERTIGO--Bernard Herrmann.

Une œuvre puissante dont on reconnait par moment, la couleur orchestrale du compositeur.

A fiendishly difficult piece alternating between insanity and peaceful interludes. Awesome performance by Mr. Pennario. Beautiful!

Great piece and would love to hear it live. Don't think I ever will. Who's going to learn it? Very difficult and Pennario's no longer around.

This is gut wrenching UGLY, disgusting, violent inducing NOISE of horror, should be very useful in Horror Movies. bUT WHAT WONDERFUL LONG FINGERS, DRIVING ME CRAZY, SUCH HUGE HANDS.

This score presages much of Rozsa's later work in the film noir genre.

John Mills, Robert Newton, William Cameron Menzies, Graham Greene, Mutz Greenbaum (better known as Max Greene of "Night and the City" fame) and Milkos Rozsa all in one film! Talk about your dream teams!

There is something about Miklos Rosza's orchestration that is unique to my ears. I think it is the brassy backround chords in the low trombones and horns to a thick doubled string forefront. His symphonic work usually sounds like variations to the Ben Hur sound. This was an exciting concerto.

M16082016: La introducción de Overture Quo Vadis-Rozsa es: Hail Nero ( Triumphal March ). El maestro Rozsa repite su Quo Vadis Rozsa The Road To Rome: En Apertura de Ave Caesar Triumphal March: Rerecording Quo Vadis Rozsa Hail Nero-Triumphal March. Misma Parte en su Ben Hur-Rozsa The Burning Desert: Part The Prince Of Peace: Misma Parte en Sgte soundtrack Ben Hur-Rozsa Roman Galley; y repetición de este Roman Galley en ,su, The Cid-Rozsa: Battle Preparations.

L08082016: El Overture de Quo Vadis-Rozsa es el mismo Lygia o Love Theme: Titulo Oficial de Quo Vadis-Rozsa ;es una Versión de Lygia, los dos son el mismo Soundtrack. El Overture Quo Vadis- Rozsa es el Love Theme de Quo Vadis Rozsa Lygia. Parecido a El Cid-Rozsa donde su Exit o Exit Music o Epilogue: The Falcon And The Dove: Versión Canción: Es el mismo Love Theme The Barn.

V05082016: Farewell El Cid- Rozsa es una Suite: en el suenan Tracks de Rozsa El Cid: Overture y Thirteen Kgniths: compartiendo partitura Love Theme: The Barn: Love Theme y Preludio, compartiendo partitura y en su final o End of Act One: Intermission-Entr'acte: Overture Two: La Marcha del Cid: Farewell: Soundtrack que comunica doble comienzo: al sonar allí, Overture y Preludio de El Cid- Rozsa. Batalla y Amor al sonar en el Farewell: Valencia para El Cid, en End of Act One y en la parte Overture de El Cid- Rozsa: The Sea Battle Sequences de Ben Hur-Rozsa.

MC03082016. Aunque aquí la versión de Exit Music o Exit o Epilogue, Epílogo: The Falcon And The Dove, El Halcón y La Paloma- Rodrigo y Chimene o Ximena, es la versión oficial , la tarareada ; la mejor versión de Epílogo El Cid es la cantada la Original Intro de Epilogue de El Cid: o Exit o Exit Music : The Falcon And The Dove, del Rerecording Nic Rayne.

L0108016. Aunque la Versión de Exit Music o Exit o Epilogue, Epílogo: The Falcón and The Dove, El Halcón y la Paloma- Rodrigo y Chimene, o Ximena, es la Versión Oficial : la tarareada, la mejor versión de epílogo El Cid es la cantada. Lástima y pifia Rozsa ganaba el cuarto y quinto Oscar, a Mejor Canción, pero ganó Desayuno con Diamantes de Henry Mancini el autor del Tema de La Pantera Rosa. El Cid- Rozsa : The Legend o Finale es Marcha y Fanfarria. Epilogue o Exit o Exit Music :The Falcon and The Dove es Fanfarria; y muy probablemente es Marcha por repetirse Overture Ben- Hur- Rozsa. Por lo general todos los Soundtracks Rozsa , donde Rozsa repite su Overture Ben-hur-Rozsa son Marchas.For God and Spain- Battle of Valencia son Marchas. En El Cid -Rozsa donde se repite Road to Asturias son Soundtracks Marchas; por lo general, Entra'cte: La Marcha de El Cid. The Legend : Finale por ejemplo.

J26052016: Battle of Valencia Short Versión o Battle of Valencia Shortened Versión The Cid-Rozsa :Grandiosa Segunda mejor Versión del mejor soundtrack de The Cid - Rozsa, muy genial con el segundo mejor soundtrack de The Cid -Rozsa: Battle Preparations como Introducción. Preludio el Cid es suite suena siege of valencia y trece caballeros overture el Cid y the barn love theme. El overture el cid rozsa al repetirse en el cid rozsa prelude , se repite en la parte en que en el overture el cid se repite overture ben- hur-rozsa, pero pausadamente y también en prelude el cid rozsa se repite inicio overture el cid que es The Sea Battle Secuences ben hur rozsa parte o secuencia rescue, o rescate, que en prelude el cid es el rescate que hace el cid de su país.Como ya me había dado de cuenta años atrás al escuchar los tracks el cid-rozsa : todo el prelude es en esencia todo una versión más de love theme el cid-rozsa :m01072014: Los 1eros 48 seg de ben yusuf- son el prologo de el cid-rozsa y a la vez prelude extendido-diferenciandolo del mismo tema main title o prelude main title q es sin el prologo; o parte extendida. D13092015: El inicio de The Sea Battle Secuences de Ben Hur- Rozsa: inicio overture el cid rozsa lo repite en su el Cid: prelude- ben yusuf: prólogo de el Cid, y ride of valencia, donde se repite ben yusuf, para representar rozsa batalla a nivel del mar en el Cid y batalla; por eso este tema de sea battle secuences ben hur- rozsa en estos de su el Cid rozsa.

Es muy posible que, el maestro Miklos Rozsa repita por fracción de segundo su Ben Hur -Rozsa: Valley of the death en su Overture The Cid -Rozsa: En sus primeros segundos representando insistentemente Rescate y muerte en The Cid -Rozsa, ya que Rozsa repite su The Sea Battle Secuences: Rescue Ben Hur -Rozsa en su Valley of the de death: Versión The Lepper Search For The Christ. Parte The Sea Battle Secuences: Rescue Ben Hur -Rozsa en Overture The Cid- Rozsa. Valley of the death Ben Hur- Rozsa que acompaña la escena o es la música de escena cuando Ben Hur: Charlton Heston busca : Search, a Tirsa : Cathy O'donnell para rescate: Rescue de Tirsa y la saca para llevarla ante nuestro señor Cristo.

I'm just trying to identify all of the musicians who still play in the orchestra, or who recently retired ... I see a few!

its a wonderful hall---and I oughta know--from Milwaukee. The late great, good looking Mr. Schemerhorn married at one time to the very glamourous Soprano Carol Neblett.

It's a real shame that this performance has some cuts to it, as do a few of Pennario's other performances of it. Still a great performance, though!

Powerhouse stuff! Surely one of the most impressive concertos of the 20th Century. A real show stopper.

Uno dei più bei pezzi di Miklos Rozsa. Grande maestro grazie!

this piece sounds better every time I hear it --thanks so much for posting this fantastic performance.
