 Piano Concerto (Grieg) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grieg's concerto is often compared to the Piano Concerto of Robert Schumann — it is in the same key, the opening descending flourish on the piano is similar, and the overall style is considered to be closer to Schumann than any other single composer.
The Piano Concerto in A minor by Edvard Grieg was the only concerto Grieg completed.
It is written for solo piano, two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets, two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, timpani, violins, violas, cellos and double basses.

 Program Notes
Concertos were played, too, including the five (!) that Mendelssohn produced between 1822 and 1824: one for piano, one for violin, two for two pianos, and the work offered here, for violin and piano.
Mendelssohn& Concerto for Violin, Piano, and Orchestra inhabits much the same musical domain as his D minor Violin Concerto of 1822, which the San Francisco Symphony and Concertmaster Alexander Barantschik performed in 2002.
The Concerto for Violin and Piano has one foot planted squarely in the tradition of the eighteenth-century concerto, reminding us that Mendelssohn was inherently the most Classical of Romanticists.

 Piano Concerto
The story of this piano concerto and its ultimate rejection by the man to whom it was dedicated is, perhaps, one of the most famous tales in all of classical music.
So it was that the performance of Tchaikovsky piano concerto, a performance which was familiar to many in the audience and had arouse them to enthusiasm previously, this time took on an extra measure of inspiration.
The melodies didn't come so easily as earlier in life, and he spent long nights "walking up and down the room for hours" waiting for the musical ideas to form in his mind.

 Johannes Brahms - Piano Concerto No. 2
Brahms's second piano concerto was begun in 1878 and completed in July of 1881.
The composer played the solo part at the first performance, a private concert in Meiningen in October 1881, and was also the pianist for the public premiere, in Budapest, on November 9 of that year.
He wrote to the violinist Joseph Joachim: "A second will sound different." Brahms was true to his word, but a second piano concerto was over 20 years in coming.

 Sergei Prokofiev's Piano Concerto No.1
The piano itself then joins the orchestra in a surging lyrical theme, the kind of theme (and especially the kind of texture) that Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov likes to reserve for the culmination of a finale; and the kind of theme which seems destined, as this one does, to come to a full stop.
The D flat chords of the latter's First Piano Concerto - one of the most famous opening solo gestures in the repertoire - are here transcribed for strings and brass.
Above all, the chameleon-like adaptation of the piano to its surroundings is pure Prokofiev.

This is the recording of Bartók's piano concertos the world has been waiting for.
Having recently praised the beauties of the Pierre Boulez recording of the three Bartók piano concertos each with a different orchestra and soloist (Zimmerman, Grimaud, Andsnes), returning to this wholly satisfying CD with Yefim Bronfman at the keyboard and Esa-Pekka Salonen and the Los Angeles Philharmonic traversing these miraculous concerti is grounding.

 :: INKPOT: RACHMANINOV The Second Piano Concerto: An Inktroduction - INKPOT
The Second Piano Concerto is characteristic of this fine balance, sublime in its lyricism, but always whispering a sincere emotional message.
As for the concerto's opening string theme, which harkens back to Orthodox plainchant with its step-wise progression and limited range of notes, it is actually a fuller development of the bass line from a linking passage in the finale.
Rachmaninov handles the relationship between piano and orchestra with great delicacy, allowing the piano to insert six notes of melody between the first two phrases of the clarinet, then reversing these roles by allowing the orchestra to comment between phrases of piano cantilena.

 Ludwig van Beethoven - Piano Concerto 4
On December 22, 1808, Viennese devotees of new music made their way to the Theater an der Wien for the most significant concert of the year, one of the most significant concerts in all of music history.
The concerto was dedicated to the composer's friend, student, and patron, the Archduke Rudolf, to whom he would later dedicate the Grosse Fugue, the "Archduke" Piano Trio, and three piano sonatas, including the massive "Hammerklavier."
The program, consisting entirely of Beethoven premieres, began with the Symphony no. 6, followed, in order, by the concert aria, "Ah, perfido", two movements from the Mass in C major, the Fourth Piano Concerto, the Symphony no. 5, and, last but not least, the Choral Fantasy.

 Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto
From the love theme of the Romeo and Juliet Overture (1870), to the music of Swan Lake (1877) or his Sixth Symphony (Pathétique, 1893), to the well-known opening of the Piano Concerto No. 1, his music has become almost inescapable, a part of the collective conscious.
Yet the oft-told tale of the Piano Concerto's conception reminds us that even Tchaikovsky's melodies could fail to charm.
The second theme is a rapid scherzo, based on a French song, "Il faut s'amuser, danser et rire" (One must amuse one's self by dancing and laughing), a song favored by the opera singer Désirée Artôt, with whom Tchaikovsky had once been infatuated.

I was wondering if people could suggest their absolute favorite recording(s) of Liszt's 2nd Piano Concerto.

 Concert Premiere Review
The piano here is sparse, uneven, its fragile voice occasionally interacting with sections of the orchestra that emerge from the tense silence for momentary dialogues.
The orchestra and the piano play against each other like wind and rain in a tornado, ratcheting up the tension until Rouse's trademark brass and percussion come in at full blast, releasing a tremendous amount of energy that threatens to overwhelm the soloist.
After that, everything slides downhill, the orchestra dropping out unevenly until the piano rattles to a close, fading into a musical question mark and leaving the listener with no sense of triumph or even satisfaction.

 Piano Concerto #21 by Mozart
The accompanimental figures (especially the repeated triplets) are operatic stereotypes, and the soaring melody, while perfectly suited to the piano, has the kind of languishing grace that a prima donna could work wonders with.
The orchestra presents a perky little tune echoed very briefly by the piano.
The melodic lines that climb to an early peak then gradually descend in graceful arcs call for a bel canto treatment from the lucky instruments that get to sing this delicate melody.

One way in which the piano takes on a specific character is in the way Mozart lays out his lavish abundance of musical ideas in the first movement, in such a way that some are restricted to the piano alone, thus differentiating it from the orchestra.
