Beethoven - Piano Concerto No. 3, Op. 37 (1800) {Badura-Skoda}

[@_PROCLUS]

💝💝💝 Many thanks for this rarity ... The wonderful Paul Badura-Skoda at his best and the great Hermann Scherchen. ... And the beautiful aspect of the rendition is that the soloist and the conductor are so in tune ... TY 🌹

Oh my goodness! Very awesome piano concerto. Absolutely love the coda to the third movement.

I have to add though, that in our one to one lesson during the nearly 10 year since I’ve studied under his guidance, whenever we went back to Beethoven 3rd, for some competitions or recitals, he taught me to begin the very first scales in a non “clean” way. He demonstrated and convinced me to play them like a violent, stormy burst of energy, with pedal, still keeping the clarity, but being a way less “classical” in the approach. The mature Badura-Skoda reserved some surprises like this, as when we were working on the third movement Beethoven’s Op. 26: generous overpedalling in the middle section was his extremely creative and useful advice. What he taught me to care for was the Urspirit rather than the Urtext ;-)

Thanks a lot for uploading. Paul was extremely happy and nearly proud, despite his extremely humble nature, of the whole Beethoven Concertos cycle recorded with Scherchen. Unlike many of his other discography achievements, after decades he was still very satisfied with this very one.

SOLID PERFORMANCE with rounded corners

Lebhafte und wunderschöne Interpretation dieses perfekt komponierten Konzerts mit klarem doch warmherzigem Klang des technisch fehlerlosen Soloklaviers sowie gut vereinigten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Der zweite Satz klingt besonders schön und echt beruhigend. Im Kontrast klingt der dritte Satz echt lebhaft und auch überzeugend. Der intelligente und geniale Dirigent leitet das hoch funktionelle Orchester im gut analysierten Tempo und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Die Tonqualität ist auch erstaunlich hoch als eine Aufnahme von fünfundsechzig Jahren vor. Alles ist wunderbar!

That low d at 12:57 is absolutely exquisite.

This is possible a stupid remark, but I'm mystified by the second movement, the tonality first of all, and then the notation in 3/8, which is not exactly easy to read (and find quite often with Beethoven I believe).Any explanation?

[@olivierdrouin2701]

Les mouvements lents des 4 et 5° sont insurpassables dans leur genre ( gravité et désincarnation ).. Mais après tout , n en serait il pas de même pour ce largo ?

Almost as good as Mozart’s piano concerto in the same key :)

Compared to Mozart's 24 in C minor (and 20 in D minor, and 23 in A major, and...) Beethoven's is almost regressive in terms of expression. Still shocks me the gap between this and Hummel's A minor is only 16 years - Hummel's sounds a few decades ahead, not just 16 years.
