His orchestration is unique and this is a wonderful example of it.

Parece que usaron un editor de audio deficiente, pues hay cortes entre cada fragmento de la obra o mejor, entre cada track.

l'ouverture est digne de l'Arlésienne de Bizet

It's seems that •••one can find a real great woman easily in any period of history of French culture like Nadia Boulanger? ❤ for French culture.

Anyone know if the orchestration exists online?

Truly a beautiful work of ART !!! I'm not kidding ! I have no knowledge of this composer but i sure ❤ this piece.

bravo! unique... outer worldly music, shame we never got to hear much more from Nadia

I don't dislike it, but I wouldn't pay cash money for it. Reminds me of a play review by Samuel Johnson - Worth seeing, but not worth going to see.

I'm both delighted and terrified that the screams sound like mingled cries of joy and terror.

It's also very badly played especially from the pianist side. I wonder what a decent pianist and conductor would make of this work, although that is not very liikey to happen.

I also became curious about this piece following Dave Hurwitz. Well , in classical world I have heard worst than this ! I think part of the problem that Hurwitz had might be the direction of Louis de Froment who sometimes was awful.

The world nitpicking championship must be held here, powered by hilariously geopolitically and culturally ill-informed opinions. Even in the unbelievably diverse and magical world of Classical music, we still choose to follow the impulse to collectively hate something as if there wasn't anything more meaningful to do. It's kinda sad.

Gracious sublimity with mild bombast!

Magnifique !! La musique tient ici le milieu entre la nature matérielle et la nature intellectuelle. Elle peut dépouiller l'amour de son écorce terrestre ou donner un corps à l'ange selon les dispositions de celui qui écoute, ses accords sont des pensées, des cicatrices ou des caresses 🔥🕊

私は40年以上前にソビエトのレコードでこの曲を知りました。それ以来この曲を愛し続けています。ペイコはもっと評価されるべき作曲家です。

There are aspects of this piece that I admire - the attempt to blend traditional Georgian music with a Western Classical Orchestra, the colorful orchestration, and the rhythms. The piano writing feels anachronistic and is not particularly inspired. The writing in places is clumsy, sometimes a bit boring, and sometime goofy, but that doesn't mean it deserves so much scorn. I think some of this criticism of this piece, comparing it to a "camel procession" is not merely uncharitable, it strikes me as problematic. The man was trying to integrate the music of his homeland, a region where the musical tradition is influenced from Persian, Armenian and Turkish music. I think that was an admirable goal. To dismiss this piece as "camel music" is an ugly and frankly ignorant thing to say. If all you think of is camels when you hear music influenced by traditional Georgian music, perhaps you need a geography lesson-- and a lesson on respect for non-western musical traditions.

In my entire lifetime of Classical music, this is by far the worst piano concerto I've ever heard.

For me really bad piano concertos: Menotti Piano concerto (1945) and Ernest Bloch Concerto Symphonique for piano and orchestra (1948)

Remembers the music of Gurdjieff and Komitas.

Brilliant string playing! And a really committed performance. Loving it (thank you Edward Elgar....)

This video introduced me to d'Indy over a decade ago. Thank you.

Who is the conductor? And what year was it recorded?

Pur plaisir musical..

It would make sense as a tone poem, but not as a piano concerto. It does grow on me, until I find the piano line superflous. Piano concertos can exude national color and get away with it; I think of concertos by Ravel, Bartok (to an extent), and above all Gershwin... but the concerto is generally the most international of expressions. Example: Tchaikovsky's violin concerto seems much like a slightly-Russian response to Beethoven's concerto, and his first piano concerto (the only one often played) could have been composed by someone not Russian. Tchaikovsky was very Russian, but he also knew when to turn down the Russian-ness. (This makes him the greatest Russian composer before Prokofiev, by the way, and Shostakovich is the Beethoven of the twentieth century when he wasn't writing propaganda as music). This work does grow on me, but I am satisfied that the piano obbligato is a mistake. I'd say take out the virtuoso parts for piano and give them to stringed instruments and spread out the rest throughout the orchestra. Don't get me wrong: I love nationalistic expression in other orchestral and chamber music. I'd love to hear a symphony, piano sonata, or string quartet that exudes Indian, Japanese, or Peruvian musical 'coloration'. The "Yellow River" Concertois awful.

I like this a hell of a lot. This piece gets trash talked a lot, but I think it's very competent and beautiful. The orchestra is dark but the piano is bright and cheerful. The contrast is so logical. It has elements of Mozart and Ravel and so many others, yet has a distinct identity and style. I don't think this is a bad concerto at all. Quite excellent.

Around 26.30 "Mozart abducted on a Camel" fits so well....laughed so hard I fell out of my chair!!! It's hideous it's wonderful!! Oh, the trills, oh, the trills!!! Then, off we go again on the camel...😂

Its so bad that its good! To think that Djabadary and Prokofiev were born in the same year (1891) and probably knew of each other's existence. Had he lived longer, he might have been Stalin's favourite composer (since both are Georgian!)

In the first movement, the piano rarely gets the melody. Odd. And the solo part is so simple.

Merci beaucoup de mettre cette passionnante Fantaisie de Nadia Boulanger en ligne ! J’aimerais connaître le nom du pianiste, de l’orchestre et du chef d’orchestre ! Très belle interprétation également. Le talent compte pour faire connaître des œuvres sans les disqualifier. Merci d’avance pour votre réponse !

The slow movement is pretty nice...it's absolutely not the worst concerto ever written.

Bonjour merci pour ce beau concert ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

@cleliavera 1 year ago Wonderful work! Who is the pianist? And the orchestra? Thank You for sharing this great music!

Блеск!!!

Lovely piece, so much feeling.

Alfven. The andante from his third symphony is one of the best in history. For me it is more expressive and sublime than some andantes or adagios from Sibelius, Mahler, etc. It is a pity that he is barely remembered. In that andante I find those words that I lost a long time ago. Even having found them I still cannot express them to you. Listen and delight.

Très touché. She is a real composer.

Who is the player, Igor Zhukov possibly?

Absolutely amazing perfofmance!

Bonjour, de quelle version s'agit-il ?

very elegant piano concerto

OMG this sounds so bad...

1:40 Prokofiev Overture on jewish themes

Who’s the painting by?

Although she is said to have disliked the work of Rachmaninoff, I can't help but hear so many resemblances.

I am Slovak
