A. ARENSKY - Piano Concerto in F minor op. 2 "Russian Concert". A. Cherkasov, piano

[@olgasemasko9847]

Какое счастье,что я могу слушать этого великолепнейшего композитора. Чудная музыка!!!

[@Classicjoa]

Very good. Great players. Wonderful!

[@ГалинаГребнева-х3э]

Потрясающая музыка! Великолепно, сильно, мощно. Слава Богу, что пророчество Римского- Корсакова о том, что Аренский будет забыт, не сбылось. Такую музыку будут помнить не только музыканты. Спасибо Михаилу Казинику, его книгам и лекциям, спасибо каналу, что познакомили с божественной музыкой Аренского.

Первая часть является в Концерте наиболее значительной по содержанию. Этому способствует ее активный тонус, яркие динамические нарастания, насыщенность и пафос звучания целого ряда эпизодов, а также обилие пышных виртуозных пассажей и каденций. В соответствии с закономерностями динамики музыкальных образов концерта обращает на себя внимание «сквозная» (термин К. Станиславского) линия развития лирического образа побочной партии, эмоциональные краски, которые он приобретает в различных эпизодах. Чуткое распределение звуковых градаций - при первом появлении темы побочной партии в экспозиции к мощному апофеозу разработки - делает убедительным и впечатляющим эмоционально-психологическое перевоплощение этого эмоционального образа. Вторая часть Концерта - Andante con moto - существенно отличается от первой по самому характеру и типу изложения. Andante ближе камерной, нежели концертной сфере. Роль оркестра здесь сведена до минимума. Основная тема излагается у фортепиано solo при полном молчании оркестра. Небольшой средний раздел Andante построен на двух патетических подъемах, которые, подобно вступлению первой части, исчерпывают себя и растворяются в легком, бисерном пассаже. В заключительных тактах у фортепиано звучат светлые, истаивающие фигурации. Такое «истаивание» является символом отношения Аренского к фортепианной фактуре: «Будто что-то недосказано, что уходит навсегда». Финал написан в духе скерцо. Обе его темы отличаются глубоко славянским характером. Привлекает внимание многообразная ритмика финала: чередование синкоп с плавными движениями, коротких ритмических групп с длинными построениями придают всему финалу упругость и непрерывную устремленность. (Цыпин Г. А.С. Аренский.)

[@polenc7167]

In each instance of trying to find a solution to a music problem he sets before himself, he chooses the most obvious solution. Not saying he isn't a good craftsman. He is. But he doesn't go the extra mile to entertain and engage his audience. You see this in composers who weren't really diligent students and who set a pattern of lack of intense effort required to write great music. No its not inspiration it is a hard sustained effort that makes the great composer. Don't get me wrong there are some lovely moments in this work for which he is to be applauded.

[@jeanaprea8216]

voila encore un grand compositeur se concereto pour piano etr grandiose et bonne interpretation!

[@davidkearney9657]

I've been a huge fan of Arensky's first symphony for years now -- I think it's a classic waiting to be discovered. So this was an interesting piece to listen to. Pretty straightforward Russian piano concerto. I particularly liked the second subject of the first movement.

[@MegaCirse]

C'est juste ce type de jour où il ne se passe rien. Ces sons expriment le vide absolu qui peut nous pénétrer dans des périodes de fatalisme, de grande mélancolie, de joies intenses quand nous sommes confrontés à l’indifférence du monde et de faits divers qui nous effraient et nous vident de notre substantifique moelle. J'aime vraiment ce qui se joue ici ;)

17:40 and again at 18:00 , also 21:45 straight out of Grieg A minor concerto, first movement.

[@essencejoyclairv]

Yes, there's some Grieg saying hello there. Also, Chopin and Rachmanimov say hello lots of times in the 1st Movement. I just wish all the other composers would go back to their concertos and let Anton have his own concerto. Much of this does sound like the unique Anton, but sometimes others invade a bit. Lol.

Why is there a Jazz band in the background? Not only in-between movements, but at quiet bits too.

[@Egobaldo]

Una pena que la grabación sea imperfecta.

[@alessandropelizzoli6613]

It is a pleasant Piano Concerto, with effective instrumental writing but...the comparison with Chopin' s Concertos is absolutely impossible: Chopin' s Concertos are beautiful and High examples of perfection in First Romanticism trend, with an elegance and inspiration of undeniable grandeur, while here we have a good amount of rethoric attitude conveyed by very noisy technique. Brilliance but no real deep expression.

[@robertfrankgill5962]

Come on. Cut poor old Arensky a bit of slack. This is his Opus 2! Though I do agree with the person who wrote that the 1st Piano Trio would make a better introduction to his music.

[@steveegallo3384]

Best introduction are his "Characteristic Pieces/Morceaux" for piano

@ mr Papadopoulos, you mean certainly that "this gay" lacks the distingtive style you have. The 'style' we all can enjoy since a long time. @mr John e martin III. The same sort of comment you can be applied to you. It is eay to have comments on an other persons achivements, But did you achive in this field [or any]. Your parents had not enough fantasie to give you to give you a distintive name so you were obliged to put the latin number 3 behind your name. Or had they the illusion to found a dynasty. In that case it is Obvious that you were born with 'a golden spoon' in your mouth. Which me leads to the the conclusion that you , untill now , achived nothing.

This is horrible!Too light and glib as uninteresting as all 3 Medtner piano c. There must be something before Prokofiev.Schedrin 's are the best Russian p. concerti that are not well known. Hundreds of virtuosi concerti from this period and besides Brahms,Liszt's,Rubinstein's, Strauss' Burleske there seems o be little worth hearing .The Busoni is a monstrosity to me overblown not worth a page of any of Bartok's creativite 3 or Prokofiev's 5.Though the 4th prok might take some time to make its point There's got to be something else I havent heard.Schnabel and Weingartner's works too lest best forgotten.How could these great minds see something in this and publish.I hope the huge Pfitzner offers something.I know Reger can't.That awful violin concerto!There was an Italian Pf.concerto I heard decades ago in SanFran the Martucci should be better known.

[@gwilson7663]

If this piece is horrible, then could you share your own pieces with us? Thanks.

[@tomknight5478]

I can sympathize. I think it's mainly down to structure. To many concerti are just basic sonata form works with nothing particularly distinguishing about them. Some of them are saved to a certain extent by having an amazing and memorable melody (e.g. Chopin), but others are just the same old stuff regurgitated again and again with different main themes. (Sometimes not even that different) Anyway, I've only just started coming round to the idea that what I think of as 'non-serious music' has a place. Basically, it's just supposed to be charming with some heart wrenching moments along the way. It's not meant to be deep and thought provoking, but in fact quite the opposite. It's meant to be so beautiful that you temporarily forget about everything else but the sheer beauty of the harmonies. (rather like meeting a beautiful person for the first time) It's essentially a very Romantic ideal. And to that end I think that this concerto by Arensky does rather well. Also, a lot is down to the performer with this sort of thing, and this one is fantastic!

[@sven2694]

Erbärmlich diese sogenannten Fachleute. kann man nicht einfach nur zuhören und genießen oder abschalten, wenns nicht paßt? Rachmaninov und Skrjabin waren seine Schüler? Dann kann er so schlecht nicht gewesen sein. Alle ein wenig überkanditelte Kommentare.

[@robertfrankgill5962]

Just think. Without the likes of Arensky there would never have been great piano concertos by the likes of Britten, Busoni, Henze, Khachaturian, Lopez-Chavarri, Prohofiev, Rautavaara, Rodrigo, Rubbra, Shostakovich, etc. Though I may be wrong.
