In Reply to: RE: Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto No. 3 is REALLY hard (for the orchestra!) posted by Chris from Lafayette on November 06, 2015 at 20:07:32
Chris, sorry for the poor expression of who the Lord is, and poor playing. Post hurts!
They got underwater, happens.
Frankly, I don't like the work, trying many different versions to train myself. Love Rach 2, though.
Follow Ups:
I bought the Lp because the cover attracted me. Ormandy was also a trusted, household name, at least in my household. I just found a sealed copy a couple of months ago and Horowitz' phrasing fit like an old, warm glove. RCA's live recording isn't bad.
I, too, didn't come to grips with the 3rd right away, esp. on the heels of the 2nd. The two ecstatic outbursts--early mov't 1 and mid-mov't 2--caught my ear right away but that was about it.
Rach's later, more "tart" sound came as a bit of an off-putting shock.
The only performance I've enjoyed as much since is Santiago Rodriquez' (sp). Great balance between the lush and the lively, IMHO. The usual suspects leave me cold.
What is imprinted on 15?
I have a pristine copy of the LP and also a CD if I remember.
Imprinting: when a first-time listener internalizes all the tempi and turns of phrase of a particular performance.
It's often hard to get used to other interpretations.
got it. Like me with some music, examples such as:
Szell and Mozart 35, 39
Szell and Egmont or B 3.
etc.
And as for the clinkers, isn't that a live performance? Now the new Rach gunslinger, Denis Matsuev, is coming to town this week to play the 2nd concerto and the Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. It will be broadcast live on WQXR on Thursday night. I'm sure he'll be giving us the 3rd soon enough.
Ed.: It's Daniil Trifonov, not Denis Matsuev -- hard to keep these wunderkinds apart!

is this conductor was a woman.
It's already a good ol' boy in a conducting world, this kind of episode can't be good PR for advancement for female conductors.
Well, at least she did not burst out crying in public, tho.
in LA...don't like her frenetic energy, takes away. Even my teen violinist says so. But, she is promoted now.
Will appear with Hilary H in Vieuxtemps this year.
not much out there
I could not find her performance in video.
repost to you
Estonian conductor Anu Tali continues to set the standard for women orchestra directors!
odd that I could not find a single complete performance on YouTube.
A tiny sliver I got to see, she looked ok but not sure.
I have two of her CD's, and she's definitely the best woman conductor I've heard.
It looks as if the second of these CD's ("Swan Flight") is commanding a pretty hefty price right now on Amazon.
Hopefully she'll come to the CSO.
Even better if she and her entire orchestra visited!
