Reger - Piano Concerto in F minor, op. 114 (Audio+Sheet) [de Groote]

[@joegoetz2024]

Publisher: What key is this in again? Reger: Yes.

[@plpmanden]

Hehe, yes. The key is a little bit of this and a little bit of that.

[@constantijnblondel7672]

I think this is a candidate for nerdiest music joke ever that's also actually funny (because it's true :) )

[@mrspoonofbuttonmoon]

Can't get enough of this concerto. There's something profoundly Romantic in the perpetual struggles between the scintillating piano writing and aggressive orchestral interruptions, and between the soaring melodies and the torrents of chords that weigh them down.

[@SeigneurReefShark]

I can't stop listening to this... So grandiose... Majestic..

[@katrmior]

ravi de vous voir ici! ce style de composition complète très bien votre chaîne youtube

[@SeigneurReefShark]

@@katrmior Vous revoilà ! Décidément, vous avez bon goût ahahah. Ce concerto est fabuleux !

[@katrmior]

@@SeigneurReefShark je suis entièrement d'accord, et il semblerait que nous partagions ce bon goût !

[@emmerentiagroenewald3694]

To hear Steven play this,makes everything magic!! Knew him in Cape Town,took violin lessons from his Dad: Pierre de Groote. Accompanied his clarinet brother Oliver on the piano in the Brahms sonatas....Emmerentia Groenewald

[@Highinsight7]

He was the FIRST Cliburn winner...??? or something like that... and died really young... I think? (his piano playing is remarkable...)

[@jerry_moo]

This is just pure majesty. I am ashamed I didn't know that Reger composed a Piano Concerto before!

[@classicallpvault]

In that case you might also not know that Reger wrote every single passage of this work while he was drunk, or at the very least, on his way to becoming drunk. IMHO he would have fared way better, probably outclassing Rachmaninoff as a composer, hadn't he been on the piss 24/7. The ideas were there. Rachmaninoff at his best still has a tough rival in Reger in terms of what their inspiration had to offer the listener. The insane keyboard technique was there. The melodic lyricism is there. The attention for detail, bizarre unexpected modulations... etc. He did not surpass Rachmaninoff but insteadx drank himself to death aged 43. A sad loss.

the greatest composer without melody. But he is my favorite composer along with brahms.

Often 3 or 4 melodies at the same time.

2nd movement is just Wonderful. It moves me always to tears.

[@ronaldbwoodall2628]

Wow! What a great, spellbinding, heartfelt performance this is! I never thought I'd hear one as great as Volker Banfield's, but this one brings out all the drama and beauty of this powerful score, unpretentious as it is uncompromising, played as the masterpiece that it is.

[@erikfreitas7093]

Massive thanks for uploading this!

[@MrInterestingthings]

Stephen deGroote was a remarkable pianist . He makes music in his entries out of this overblown tripe . Did Brahms know Reger . I brought his huge violin concerto in junior highschool 40 years ago . I can't imagine what a chore it was for Serkin to record him . That is amazing ! Must have been their generation .

@@kyserbonaparte The head of the piano department at F.A.U. knew Steven Groote . She mentioned it once in my presence . I only saw him on a televised VanCliburn contest many , many years ago . He was special . All of us lamen his passing . Excellent , strong playing here . Groote really understands the music he is playing !

[@r0mmm]

Is reger a modern or romantic composer?

[@geniusrepairman1]

late romantic composer. But his last compositions less so.

[@PhilipDaniel]

Yes.

[@ullrichherz7053]

Reger composed in the styles of Baroque (op. 7, 47 e.g.), Late Romanticism (op.90,107, 114, 128/1+3), Impressionism (op. 125, 128/2), Expressionism (op. 57), Classicism (op. 123, 130) imho!

[@Piflaser]

Both, last romantic and first modern.

[@coreylapinas1000]

Its like tonal Boulez...

[@hyseo1121]

Technically reger music is at too high level. His music is too challenging, thick and chromatic. If he had schubertian sense of melody he would have been regarded as the greatest composer ever.

[@f.p.2010]

Okay but who'd want that

[@HGraabæk]

This applies only to you. Music is very subjective, and what sounds good to you might be boring to others

[@donnytello1544]

I think reger had innovation and potential, but his music has no relief. It sounds like one big constant upward spiral. It feels like one big pile of music

[@notnek202]

A beautiful mess.

[@henrygingercat]

What a load of flavourless and supersaturated musical stodge that drags on for ever and ever. I feel bloated after only 5 minutes. I can understand why some people might find it interesting in the same way that some people find serial killers or necrotising fasciitis interesting but honestly this is the pits though I suppose one has to grudgingly admire a composer who can churn out so much when he was perpetually drunk.

[@ullrichherz7053]
