  1. Favourite 5 Piano Concertos

    Sim882 replied to Daniel's topic in Repertoire
    Mozart's concertos (21, and maybe 20 excepted) are far too "sunny", irritatingly so. My best 10 would be (mainly judging by first movements, except Brahms 2 which also has a comparably good 2nd movement): (1) Tchaikovsky 1 (cliburn, gilels) or Brahms 2 (katchen) (3) Beethoven 3 (brendal) (4) Rach 2 (Cliburn) (5) Beethoven 5 (6) Rach 3 (Horowitz for mov 1 and 2; Argerich for mov 3) (7) Mozart 21 (8) Schumann 1 (argerich, richter) (9) Brahms 1 (10) Grieg 1. The prelude to the cadenza and finale of Mozart 21 mov 1 though is worthy for a high ranking in the list. I'm not a fan of the fantasy concertos (eg prokofiev) or the emotionless ones (eg Beethoven 1-2 and most of Mozarts)
