Oscar Raif; Piano Concerto in G minor, Op.1 (1878)

[@tuomaspalojarvi3300]

It's always wonderful to come across and hear a completely new piano concerto! While the string section tones are still very rough, I think you've succeeded very well with this reproduction. To the composer's credit, the music is very fine and well written. Though one could have hoped for a more substantial final movement, as it is, a slightly unbalanced work on the whole. Thank you for the huge effort you've made with this!

Thanks. Yes, I agree that the third movement was somewhat lacking, and like the second, far too short. The first movement is well over half of the piece. As always, I would love to hear this played on real instruments. The strings are the always hardest to reproduce well on the computer, and given how much prominence is given to the cello part, that hurt this one a bit.
