Moscheles - Piano Concerto No. 3 In G Minor Op 58

Michael Ponti, piano - Philharmonica Hungarica, Othmar Maga conductor

[@danielgloverpiano7693]

If you enjoy this piece (and who wouldn’t?), I recommend all four of Carl Reinecke’s Piano Concertos. The slow movement of No, 1 is particularly outstanding. These two composers stand alongside Mendelssohn, and have been unfortunately shelved in favor of Mendelssohn and Schumann. They all knew one another, and had utmost respect for each other. As a pianist, I have nothing but high regard and respect for all the great neglected Romantic works Michael Ponti exposed me to as a student. It must number in the hundreds of pieces I heard as a result of his advocacy, and tireless work. Thank you, Michael!

[@Mike60F]

Yes! Re Reinecke.

[@eloralencoski8882]

Thank you for sharing!!! I do so wish more people heard the music of the "Schumann Circle;" the composers of the time were really groundbreaking in their musical experimentataions. These are the composers and performers who *created* the Romantic Era. Czerny, Hummel, Field, Kalkbrenner, and Ries took what Beethoven had done and paved the way for artists like Clara and Robert, Thalberg, Moscheles, the Mendelssohns, Liszt, and Chopin. If not for historic purposes, we should at least hear this music for how wonderfully delightful it is!

[@Mike60F]

Not only for historical purposes! SO much beautiful music, unjustly neglected.

[@harryandruschak2843]

Well, here I am age 71, and I do believe this is the very first time I have heard this concerto. Very enjoyable, but not to be heard on our local classical music radio stations, with their conservative playlist. Voted "like"

I heard this concerto for the first time sometime in 1991 or 1992 in Austin, Texas, while a PhD student, from the local public radio (there was a radio station with classical music only, its name was KMFA, if I remember well). I was amazed, but did not hear the composer, and I had to call the radio station and ask... Wonderful music! It is quite strange that this concerto has received little (if any) attention. After I heard it, I tried to find this concerto in a CD, but I was not successful. Then I forgot about it. Thanks to "KZbin" I can enjoy this music again, nearly 30 years after. Thank you guys for having uploaded this wonderful piece of music, it reminds me of my youth. One of the best piano concertos ever!

He did achieve fame though--he's just part of a forgotten canon from the past. I've encountered this particular piece in my readings on American music at the turn of the 20th century. This was part of Amy Beach's debut. It was often cited as a good example of an exit work for piano study in the conservatory at the time.

Michael Ponti is a world class pianist. Was he ever acknowledged as such?

[@gregorypalmer5403]

Laughed at. Got alot of training in the Armed Forces iirc and got a lot of crap for it , and after he'd served his country. Smug reviewers, almost all of them failed musicians, excoriated him and his programming on a regular basis. Shameful. He did a ton for Classical Music. Without Lewenthal, Ponti, Bolet, Earl Wild, Vazonyi, Neeme Jaarvi, and other pioneers, " Neglected Composers " devotee soloists like Hamelin and Hough, would have had a harder time making it. These jerks at the newspapers, and magazines ( important then - even The New Republic ! or The Nation ! had a guy critiquing the "European" music scene, Horrors! Forgive their sins !) were even snide about the orchestras and their conductors, none of which would have given them the time of day if they had auditioned. Easy to take pot shots, at pianists, Presidents, pipefitters, whatever, when you just write stuff for a living. I remember even Life magazine had a reviewer, who sniffed after a Ponti performance, " At the end I just wanted to hear ' Fur Elise' ".

Il est également important de se demander pourquoi il en est ainsi.

+John e martin III and +John Davies Make that 2 in a hundred. I have nothing against this piece of bravura fingerwork, but to me it sounds like early 19th century ear candy--predictable, showy, pretentious at times, lacking substance. Really, I am enjoying getting to know first-hand this music that I have only heard of for most of my 74 years and never heard. Bravo to pioneers like Michael Ponti and Raymond Lewenthal for devoting so much energy so that we can see why some pieces became canonical and others didn't. Keep some perspective. Listen to the theme of the rondo--so much academic earnestness devoted to such trivial material. It may be entertaining, but it doesn't compare to the achingly affecting writing and harmonic imagination in the two Chopins or the Schumann, forget about Brahms.

[@deanbrunel7277]

I think most composers are predictable, showy and pretentious, and certainly Weber was also. But he was surprising and captured the soul, like this one does not.To me its the originality of the concept of the piece, therefore, while Stravinsky may to some extent be predictable, his compositions were formed with lightning bolts.And then, of course one finds that composers rob and steal from other composers.Its the originality of the notes, and this piece just seems to float along without flashes of greatness or originality.This piece proves that virtuosity is not the point of great music, and my drab encounter with this music made me not a fan.The composer was probably very popular in his time, but it is not music of our time.To spend so much time and effort to learn and perfect this piece is, to me, a tragic waste of a brilliant artist's time and energy.
