Here's my 1932 recording of Prokofiev playing the 3rd piano concerto. It's the pride and joy of my music collection. The 2nd movement is especially amazing, especially around the 2:30 - 3 minute mark. This is the LSO, but the orchestra sounds bad. Prokofiev was a phenomenal pianist, and he plays parts of this concerto faster than I've heard anyone attempt it. Argerich, for instance, plays the 2:30 - 3 minute mark of the 2nd movement at nearly half the speed.

Movement 1, Allegro - Andante

Movement 2, Tema con Variazioni

Movement 3, Allegro ma non Troppo

Enjoy!

Especially noteworthy given that Argerich is usually notorious for playing at very fast tempi.

The piano quartet is COMPLETE!!!


Please note that I will not review the following without a very good reason:
1) MP3-only posts: no score + outside link = bad deal. Especially true because I'm on dialup when at home.
2) Shoutbox or PM spam: excessive shameless plugs get very annoying very fast.
3) Pieces written in a short time or with little effort: if it's not worth the composer's time and energy, then it's not worth mine either.

Yeah, it was quite a blow to see my (then) favorite pianist utterly fail me.

The video is on YouTube, I refuse to find it, I can't stand to hear her play it again.

Good stuff, John!

My personal favorite concerto, however, is Busoni's massive concerto in C Major. It is especially unique because of the male chorus used in the final movement. Check out a video of Hamelin playing the complete work here:

YouTube - HAMELIN PLAYS BUSONI PIANO CONCERTO 1st mov. Pt.1 of 2
YouTube - HAMELIN PLAYS BUSONI PIANO CONCERTO 1st mov. Pt.2 of 2
YouTube - HAMELIN PLAYS BUSONI PIANO CONCERTO 2nd mov.
YouTube - HAMELIN PLAYS BUSONI PIANO CONCERTO 3rd mov. Pt.1 of 4
YouTube - HAMELIN PLAYS BUSONI PIANO CONCERTO 3rd mov. Pt.2 of 4
YouTube - HAMELIN PLAYS BUSONI PIANO CONCERTO 3rd mov. Pt.3 of 4
YouTube - HAMELIN PLAYS BUSONI PIANO CONCERTO 3rd mov. Pt.4 of 4
YouTube - HAMELIN PLAYS BUSONI PIANO CONCERTO 4th mov.
YouTube - HAMELIN PLAYS BUSONI PIANO CONCERTO 5th mov. Pt.1 of 2
YouTube - HAMELIN PLAYS BUSONI PIANO CONCERTO 5th mov. Pt.2 of 2

It is a truly sublime work.
