Robert Schumann's Op. 14 Sonata (1836) was named Concerto Without Orchestra by Schumann's publisher Tobias Haslinger, in an attempt for it to appeal to a wider audience. While this title was not well received by the likes of Liszt or Ignaz Moscheles (to whom the work was dedicated), it is in some ways an apt moniker that reflects its immensity The Fantasy in C Major, Opus 17, is a very good piece to start with as a way into Schumann's piano solo works. During the first 10 years of his composing career Schumann focused entirely on works for solo piano, and it wasn't until shortly after his marriage that he began to branch out into other genres (song, chamber, symphony, concerto etc)

This became a popular concerto coupling back in the days of vinyl, as the pieces shared similar keys, lengths, and orchestral scorings. They fit comfortably on one LP, one to a side, and in fact that is the way this particular recording was first issued And both fit very comfortably together as a recorded double bill, a coupling that has attracted some of the greatest pianists of the postwar years: Claudio Arrau with Colin Davis and the Boston Symphony, Leon Fleisher with George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra, Walter Gieseking with Wilhelm Furtwängler and the Berlin Philharmonic, Sviatoslav Richter with Lovro von Matacic and the Monte Carlo National Opera Orchestra, and this recording by Stephen Kovacevich with Colin Davis and the BBC. 14: Busoni: Piano Concerto.

Pianist Sviatoslav Richter was one of the world's greatest interpreters of Schumann, and his 1958 Deutsche Grammophon recording of the Piano Concerto with Witold Rowicki and the Warsaw National Philharmonic Orchestra (currently available on CD in the DG Originals series) is most people's first choice recommendation, mine included SVIATOSLAV RICHTER - SCHUMANN: KLAVIERKONZERT - CD. Amazon.com. If you want to judge a pianist's versatility, listen to his or her recording of the Schumann Piano Concerto. It requires virtually everything a pianist should have to offer: poetry, virtuosity, expansive expression alternating with poised restraint
Excluded is the piano arrangement of the Konzertstück for four horns, which—Joachim Draheim's excellent booklet notes are adamant—has no connection with Schumann, either Robert or Clara. At 6:31, the Concerto Movement in D Minor (1839) is ultra-concise, concentrated to the point of under-development of its materials 63. Mozart - Piano Concerto No. 22 (Sviatoslav Richter, piano/English Chamber Orchestra/Benjamin Britten. This performance has a fine vintage, featuring the great Benjamin Britten holding the baton and the equally great Richter at the keys, delivering all the fun and frolics of one of Mozart's best piano concertos He is always tasteful, poetic, and rewarding. I do feel that the best versions dive into the music's emotional core more convincingly than Katin, but I've been enjoying his reading for years now and figure on doing the same in the future. Katin's all-Schumann disc also has Carnaval and the Opus 22 Piano Sonata I'm looking for a very good recording of Schumann's a min. Piano Concerto (op. 54) - something that's very expressive, taking a more dramatic approach over an overly serious one. For some reason I haven't been able to track down a recording I really like I consider this recording of the Grieg Concerto with Matacic one of my genuine successes. Even after listening to it several times, I haven't changed my min..
Perhaps for Liszt the piano part is too subtle and unshowy, but in the hands of a gifted pianist it has great dash, even glitter. There are simply too many recordings of this beloved work to offer a series of comparison, but be it said that I've listened to my fair share of them and believe that Ingrid Fliter's performance can hold its own among the best I've heard. Fliter plays with the kind of subtle rubato that brings a work such as Schumann's alive Echo Klassik award 2017 - Concerto Recording of the Year: 19th Century Juno award 2018 - Classical Album of the Year: Large Ensemble recorded June 2016.

But be sure to listen to Gardiner before you consider buying it, it is that much different in presentation. I agree with Megasam's recommendation on the Piano concerto. i don't know the cello concerto well enough to make a recommendation. However, if you like schumann, don't overlook the best part of his music! that is his music for solo piano

What do you think is the best recording of the Grieg Conerto? I have heard that the Rubinstein, Perahia, and Lupu performances are very good, but there might be a 'definitive' recording that I don't know about etc. I think I accidentally posted this as the Schumann Concerto but I can't see because Google is so damn slow. Anyway, as they often com He has done anything but. This recording is unusual in several respects. It eschews the almost universal pairing with the Grieg Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 16, in favor of a pair of late Schumann works that are rarely performed. But the real news here is the antiheroic and completely counter-to-type Schumann concerto itself Several features of the symphony, such as the thematic connections between movements and the unconventional new emphasis on elements of sonata form, also characterize Schumann's only piano concerto, composed in 1841 as well, which has been interpreted as a poetic declaration of love to Clara That makes live recordings such as this, released for the first time, all the more precious: at her only performance in Lucerne in summer 1960, Annie Fischer realised a sensitive, chamber-like and exceptionally poetic reading of the Schumann Piano Concerto with which she garnered unusually fervent success, according to the Neue Zürcher Zeitung Guys, what's your favorite recording of the Schumann Piano Concerto? 9 comments. share. save. hide. report. 100% Upvoted.

Schumann's only piano concerto was a very long time in the making. Its success was undoubtedly down to his passionate relationship with Clara Wieck, who was to become his wife. In 1837, some three years before they would marry, Schumann penned a letter to Clara in which he outlined his thoughts for a grand work for piano Schumann: Piano Concerto, September 2015 on harmonia mundi.

The year was 1842 and Robert Schumann was on a roll. In just over nine months the composer, who up until that point had written mostly piano music and songs, completed the three Op. 41 string quartets, a piano quintet (Op. 44), a piano quartet (Op. 47), and the Fantasiestücke piano trio (Op. 88).
