Not as inspired as the symphonies imho, but we are all very grateful nevertheless. Thanks Hobbypianist for continuing with your Berwald scans.

Since Sibley have posted the beautiful piano concerto No. 2 by Selim Palmgren......here is the equally engaging No. 3.

:O My eyes dropped.

Thank you !

I have just encountered a completely startling recording of Rachmaninoff-Warenberg so-called Piano Concerto No.5 performed by Wolfram Schmidt-Leonardy. What a piece of work this is. Rach may have done something like this, who knows, but it quite a showpiece. Google shows there are several blurbs about this score being available from Boosey & Hawkes, but I'll be darned if I can find it. Has anyone found a link to where this score might be obtained??

N.B. This may be on the wrong thread, since this is for Piano & Orchestra. Maybe a moderator can place this post in it's proper thread.

Before you get further acquainted with the Warenberg arrangement, do please listen to and thoroughly digest the original score:

http://imslp.org/wiki/Symphony_No.2,_Op ... _Sergei%29

I had known the symphony for what must be close to forty years (btw I would recommend the Andre Previn, David Zinman, Vladimir Ashkenazy, Ivan Fischer and Valery Gergiev recordings) before listening to the Warenberg and trying to follow it in the full score of the Symphony. It's clever, and in a few places well thought out, but the work really is symphonic in nature and loses quite a bit of structural cohesion in being trimmed the way Warenberg has had to do.

Boosey do indeed publish the score, but I am not sure whether it is for sale:

NB I moved your post here from the transcriptions thread since we do not seem to have a Rachmaninov thread!

So this Rach 5 got me interested in looking up other concerti/symphonies arranged as piano concerti. A brief search on Amazon shows:

Lazic/Brahms: Concerto no 3 (Violin concerto)
Beethoven: Piano concerto in D (Violin concerto)--he did it himself

I can think of at least some plausible arrangements:
Brahms Double concerto
Dvorak Cello concerto
Saint Saens Cello Concerto
Franck Symphony
Ravel Tzigane

I have hired the full score of the Rachmaninoff 5th from Boosey and Hawkes. There's still no 2 piano arrangement and this is still not for sales.
I read through it. Most of the solo part is just like accompaniment. One might really enjoy those sections with the most memorable melodies.

Best,
Koon
