Happy Birthday to Alfred Brendel (January 5, 1931), Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli (January 5, 1920 – June 12, 1995), Maurizio Pollini (January 5, 1942). Here are three videos featuring them playing Beethoven’s Piano Concerto Emperor.
Concerto in F is a composition by George Gershwin for solo piano and orchestra which is closer in form to a traditional concerto than the earlier jazz-influenced Rhapsody in Blue.
Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in D Minor was written in Dresden and completed on September 23, 1909. The concerto was first performed on Sunday afternoon, November 28, 1909, by Sergei Rachmaninoff himself.
