@@AndreyRubtsovRU Care to elaborate? Or just another fanboy of the critics from 60 years ago. You probably hate the 2nd sonata, as well.

I love all three versions! Each one has its own distinctive beauty! All the climax build ups are very exciting! Yet, all the lyrical melodies are very enchanting with a touch of melancholy and nostalgia!

10:17 brilliantly.

I definitely think that even though the later revisions made the piece a little more difficult to listen to due to the structural asymmetries, but overall makes the piece more succinct and compelling. I prefer the 1941 version

I had the pleasure of seeing this performed recently by Conrad Tao! I was ten feet from the piano... I will never forget that concert! The symphony opened with Copland's El Salón México - what a dazzle to experience live!

Well it may have been the later revision you heard. Glad you enjoyed the work in person!

This is such a good recording! I love the richness of the bass, and the brass chords are just so awesome and beautiful. The pianist also slows down some passages but I kind of like that a lot. The overall sound quality is unbelievably good. This revision of the concerto has a really unique reworking of the 2nd theme of the 3rd movement! I think all the revisions of this concerto are worth playing and listening to (although I love the first version the most)...they reveal such a fascinating glimpse into R's mind and creativity.

I do enjoy this version but I've grown to love the original version the most out of the three.

I'm on the opposite side. This is something I hear less and it's always a breath of fresh air when I hear those extra bars here and there. I wish we had a recording of the very original 2nd sonata.

Cudowny, niesłusznie przez wielu pomijany Koncert. Tutaj melodie są nieco krótsze, niż te do których przyzwyczaił nas Rachmaninow w poprzednich koncertach, jednak są to niezwykle piękne tematy. Wiele się dzieje w tym Koncercie. A jeszcze lepsza, moim zdaniem, jest oryginalna wersja z 1926 roku. Proszę posłuchać początkowe takty w tamtej wersji: coś niesamowitego. Dobrze że jest dostępna w druku!

This rendition of the 2nd mvt. has just smashed me into the chair. And then reassembled.

7:17 I just noticed that the horns are playing the main melody...

If I had to guess its probably because it's a shittier version of the Dflat major theme from the second movement of the Rach 3.

@ethanloch3802

He actually didn't remove it in harmonical sense. He just contrasted the rhythmic elements of it, so that in the 1941 version there was more of a contrast between that section, and the small romantic piano solo in the middle. I expect he did that in order to make that more special.

@nicholasfox966

I would imagine he felt (and I would agree) that--although out of context it's a perfectly lovely musical passage--it doesn't mesh with the character of the concerto it happens to be in. And thus the more terse, rhythmical lyrical figure that he eventually settled on as the secondary theme in the finale. Like all great creators, he knew when he had to be ruthless and sacrifice even the loveliest of his own children for the greater artistic good.

7:47

There’s something worthwhile and different about each version

Thanks.

"Rachmaninoff was highly unsatisfied with the so-called superfluous sections of the manuscript version".... I believe the story was slightly different. Rachmaninoff received a lot of criticism for "unplayable and utter-gibberish" sections of the concerto, something critics back then also said for his sonatas. This was enough to start doubting all his future works. Too bad he didn't stick to his guts. I truly hate critics.

Critics was one of the reasons ，but Rachmaninoff did feared about the length of the concerto before the first performance.He complained it on a letter to Medtner.

The 3rd one is the 1940 version, that most Pianists play. You can listen on youtube here, but it´s very similar to this version in fact.

@DanielKRui

You can read the scores of each on IMSLP: imslp.org/wiki/Piano_Concerto_No.1%2C_Op.1_(Rachmaninoff%2C_Sergei). The 3 versions are of 1891, 1917, and 1919.

The playing and recording are stunning but who are the pianist, orchestra and conductor and when was the recording made?
