Счастлива,что встретила такого композитора. Великолепная музыка!!!

[@kniazigor2276]

Quel bonheur de pouvoir lire la partition en même temps que l'on découvre ce type de concerto malheureusement inconnu ! Merci pour le partage ! What a joy to be able to read the score at the same time as we discover these unfortunately unknown concertos! Thank you for sharing

Andante: 12:25 Allegro Molto: 18:25

[@MrInterestingthings]

Always wonderful to hear Felijia Blumenthal . Arensky did write some good music . This is the average ,ordinary late-Romantic concerto easily forgotten but the musicians here make it sound better than it is thank goodness for that !

[@steveegallo3384]

@MrInterestingthings -- Oh...but then you MUST hear his "Morceaux" and "Characteristic Pieces" for Piano + Opera Nos. 22, 25, 28, 30, 33, 34, 36, 41, 42, 52, 53, 63, 74.....Cheers from Acapulco!

My favorite piano concerto ever since I heard it for the first time almost 25 years ago. THANK YOU FOR THE SIMULTANOUS MUSIC SCORE DISPLAY !!!! I have the complete score, but can make no sense of it. If there were a replay of this life I would want to be able to play the piano and enjoy piano concerts by Arensky, Rachmaninov and others even more than when just listening to them..

[@krugos1978]

Another excellent concerto, the first two movements were my favorite. I've never heard so many unknown (unknown to me) concerti in a row, this has been very enjoyable so far and very educational, thanks for sharing!

[@thenameisgsarci]

I'll suggest you take your time eating them, because this buffet is too far from over. >:D

[@krugos1978]

Excellent! :)

[@beatitbeatit100]

Аренский - самый светлый русский композитор. У него нет тоски и трагедии в душе. Концерт замечательный.

[@ludwig2019-]

Я полностью не согласен с Вами. В музыке Антона Аренского есть драма и трагедия, именно это делает его музыку великой.

[@beatitbeatit100]

Постараюсь углубиться в Аренского с этой стороны. Спасибо. @@ludwig2019-

[@AlfonsKaiser]

Thanx a lot for sharing! What a pleasure!

[@SCRIABINIST]

Underrated Concerto, perhaps not so famous because it isn't the most original or innovative work written at that time.

[@tatsuhelma]

3:51 -6:03 that melody...

[@tvish1031]

In my person opinion, this concerto is not much sounded Chopin or Rach but it sounds Liszt and Saintsaens as well as this concerto is so unique. Wonderful work .

[@АлександрЯрков-ш2з]

Bravo super concerto

[@steveegallo3384]

Александр Ярков -- His solo "Characteristic" pieces, Opera 36 & 53 are sensational,too. Greetings from San Agustinillo!

[@GaleRianes]

such a nice work

[@张弛-s6f]

So strong influence from Chopin's no.2 Concerto but anyway sounds beautiful.

[@vladtepes3123]

Rather Chopin's Variations in B-flat on "Là ci darem la mano" from Mozart's "Don Giovanni"

[@cesarvallejolopez]

​@@vladtepes3123 check 16:40...

[@RedZed1974]

This is fantastic! Wow. So many undersung "indie" composers out there.

[@fink7968]

Lol Scriabin and Rachmaninoff's teacher and one of the most significant late Russian romantics

[@marcalexandrefontenay9801]

Plus abouti que son premier concerto,le second d’Arensky redécouvert par la regrettée et merveilleuse F Blumenthal (que j’ai rencontré lors d’un concert à Paris amie d’une parente)pianiste polonaise émigrée au Brésil durant l’invasion nazie.

[@pianoman1857]

Chopin sound

[@sneddypie]

i love the first chord tho

Anton Arensky - Piano Concerto in F minor, Op. 2 - Felicja Blumenthal - Brno Philarmonic Orchestra - Jiří Waldhans

[@konosxatz1]

I like your recent piano concerto rampage.Will you also do Lyapunov's concertos or any of Franz Xaver Scharwenka's concertos?Or anything contemporary?

[@thenameisgsarci]

1) Concerto is love, concerto is life. 2) Lyapunov's concertos might be a possibility in the future; fellow scorer olla-vogala has already done Scharwenka's. 3) Contemporary? Just wait and see... hopefully, anyway...

[@konosxatz1]

I am looking forward to your future uploads and thanks for giving me a heads up for the Scharwenka.Keep up the good work :)

[@thenameisgsarci]

Thank you very much. :D

[@hadenplouffe3976]

+thenameisgsarci I'd love to see a score video of Ornstein's concerto now that the two piano manuscript is on IMSLP, it's not 100% legible or the best scan but it's such a brilliant work and seeing it out there would be really fantastic. Do you think there's any chance of that? If not I might try my hand at it.

[@felixhutagalung8247]

Liszt 1st concerto quoted here ...

[@krismariasy9728]

do you have any plans on doing anything by Toru Takemitsu?

[@thenameisgsarci]

Apparently, I don't have access to his sheet music, so, sorry. :/

[@krismariasy9728]

+thenameisgsarci :( that stinks. his music is so good!

[@lucasdelliosiv7493]

Overall, I really like this piece, however I feel that the 3rd movement is a underwhelming, or at least it sounds like that in this recording. Also I feel that the dynamic range isn't that vast. Then again I'd like to hear this piece from some first class pianists, to be able to judge it properly.

[@GaleRianes]

Btw the piano needs to be tuned

[@erichherchen8071]

GaleRianes not really

[@vladtepes3123]

Chopin is hard to imitate, this is style brillant, not Chopin.

[@АлексейКлимкин-ч8и]

3-я часть звучит лучше остальных.

[@canman5060]

I am sorry to say that his young student Rachmaninoff wrote a far better piano concerto than he does in his student year.

[@juanmaschoclan7994]

So chopenian

[@davidphillips3925]

The orchestra part is seemingly quite insignificant. Just like the two Chopin concerti. Great writing for the piano but the orchestra adds virtually nothing.
