Favorite Piano and Orchestra work? (Not Concertos)

[presto agitato]

My vote goes directly to Franck.

Symphonic Variations = MASTERPIECE

[pita bread]

Scriabin - Prometheus

[brahmsian]

Strauss- Burlesque for Piano and Orchestra

However, of those on the list, Rachmaninoff

[phil13]

You totally forgot about Chopin's Andante Spianato and Grand Polonaise, Op.22. That's my personal favorite outside the concertos.

Phil

[arensky]

Hard to choose between the Totentanz and Rhapsody in Blue but I went with Gershwin....

[apion]

Tie between Liszt Totentanz and Franck Symphonic Variations.

[g_s_223]

Franz Schmidt's Concertante Variations on a Theme of Beethoven for piano (left hand) and orchestra (1923) is delightful.

[ryguillian]

Olivier Messiaen's "Des canyons aux étoiles..." or "Turangalîla-symphonie".

[thalbergmad]

My fave is The Warsaw Concerto by Addinsel.

Weepy film music at its best.

[shasta]

Lecuona's Rhapsodia Negra.

[arensky]

Lecuona's Rhapsodia Negra.

Rapsodia Negra is a totally amazing work - - - very Scheherazade-esque.  You can listen to an audio clip of it (track 1) from this CD:

Thank you very much Shasta! 

[stevie]

totentanz

one of the greatest pieces EVAR

[mikey6]

Da Liszt Hungarian fantasy absent? And Mendelssohn wrote Rondo Brillant op.29.  There are 2 left hand works by Strauss - Paregon something and another but it suck-didley-uks! however out of dose pieces, da totentanz is my pick. (dam sdc!!!!)

[rob47]

I just heard Arvo Part's Lamentate for orchestra and piano and it is just an incredibly immense summer blockbuster hit!  But one of those summer blockbusters that actually has substance.

[superstition2]

Scriabin - Prometheus

Agreed.

[mikey6]

I think prometheus falls out of this category, sure it's piano and orchestra but it's more of a concertante piano part.  Petrouschka could be up there as well, or to a lesser extent Shosta 1 int that case.
No one's mentioned The Dohnyani nursery rhyme variations? They're cool!

[superstition2]

sure it's piano and orchestra but it's more of a concertante piano part.

Concertante. A concert for two or more principal instruments, with orchestral accompaniment.

hmm

[mikey6]

alright wrong word, but you get the general jist of my arguement I hope. I actually thought of that straight after I posted it.

Prometheus isn't a concerto.

[mikey6]

But compared to the other works listed where the piano is treated as a true solo instrument, the piano part to Prometheus is integrated into the orchestra with a solo spotlight here and there.  But if you want to take the question at name value and list it becuase the word concerto is not in the title then fair enough.   

[superstition2]

Prometheus is my vote.

[mikey6]

whoops, that's the wrong smiley!!!!!

[kevinatcausa]

My "Other" vote is for Saint-Saens' "Africa" Fantasie

[presto agitato]

As i expected, Rach and Gershwin are "winning".

[musicsdarkangel]

don't forget the Strauss Burleske!!

[apion]

don't forget the Strauss Burleske!!

Agreed ! !
