Recordings that you wished existed.

[ravel]

have heard rachmaninov playing debussy,  i think golliwogs cakewalk, and one more piece cant remember,   but never heard him play any ravel.  i really think that would be wowwwwwwwww, even though rachmaninov's music is so different from ravel's , but i have full faith in perhaps THE greatest pianist of the century.
cziffra playing prokofiev toccata, or for that matter even other prokofiev works.  i mentioned toccata, cuz i would like to hear   what speed he could get upto on that piece hehe .  did he record any prokofiev.  which other pianists did he record besides lizst and chopin?
lizst playing debussy! hehe. but i already mentioned liszst playing anything  , couldnt sound bad, could he?  but considering how much the pianistic styles of lizst and( debussy,ravel ) differ, it would be interesting to hear how he performed them, and how they performed his pieces too.

I was going to say the same thing but you got there first, what a treat it would be to have this collection, if you had it it would be worth millions

[ahmedito]

There are some recordings of Rachmaninoff and Prokovief playing their own works.


By the way, there is a cylinder out there with Liszts playing, but noone has found it.... How about the recording of Brahms, has anyone heard it? Sadly you cant understand anything in it. And the recording of Clara Schumman sounds very good, especially for such an old lady (I cant imagine how she must have played in her youth). There are also very nice recordings of Grieg playing a lot of his stuff.

[ravel]

there is a recording of prokofiev playing his own third concerto, i havent heard it though. has any one heard it? how is it? must be great.
and what cziffra recorded ravel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! where when what who hehe
and dohnanyi as well?? i hve to get these.
also chopin playing his etudes and godowkys studies on his etudes.  lizst playing the godowsky studies, would be really intereting to hear.

[stormx]

What about Beethoven's complete piano sonatas by Argerich? It would be interesting, for sure 

By the way, did she record any of them?

[arensky]

there is a recording of prokofiev playing his own third concerto, i havent heard it though. has any one heard it? how is it? must be great.

Prokofiev is great, the orchestra is kind of lousy and the coordination between them is shaky. Check it out, it's definitely worth owning if you like Prokofiev.

[arensky]

have heard rachmaninov playing debussy,  i think golliwogs cakewalk, and one more piece cant remember, 

                  Dr.Gradus ad Parnassum also from Children's Corner

[arensky]

I thought he played Serenade of the Doll from debussy, not sure but I think he did..

There's no sound recording, but there might be a recording of an Ampico roll, he made many...

[m]

Rachmaninov made a recording of Liszt Spanish Rhapsody. It was lost during WWII. I'd give a lot to have it.

jeax deau (sp) and dohnanyi capriccio (the famous one)i forget opus but its no.6 from that opus

[pita bread]

I have heard it and it is the best Piano roll recording I have ever heard. I actually prefer Busoni's recording over many real recordings.

That performance of the Chaconne is unbeatable.

Ahhhh, if they only had stereophonic recording capabilities back in the time of Mozart!

[mephisto]

Rubinstein:

Szymanowski Mauzrkas.(He only recorded some of them)

Stravinsky: Petrouchka, Piano Rag music.

Villa Lobos: A prolle de bebe(he didn`t record all of it) and Rudepoema.

Falla: Fantasia Baetica.

All pieces dedicatet to Artur Rubinstein.

-The Mephisto

[jas]

If I had to pick just one, I'd love to hear Chopin playing his A-flat Polonaise. By the time he wrote that he was quite weak so I'd be interested to hear how he played it.

Jas

[ravel]

I would love to hear how chopin would approach Lizst's music.

[rohansahai]

I would love to hear Beethoven/Liszt playing Mozart !!! 

[rob47]

apparently Liszt played wicked beethoven sonatas.

My teacher told me that once.

[wzkit]

MY Complete Piano Music of Ravel..(it will be, in the not too distant future)
ME Playing Scriabin 3rd Sonata, 8th Sonata, Preludes op.74, 4th Sonata, 5th Sonata, Poemes and Etudes and Preludes and Pieces and lions and tigers OH MY!!! (this will happen before Ravel Complete)
ME playing Medtner Concerto #1 and Scriabin Concerto (or Rachmaninov 4th)
MY favorite Liszt
Soon I will be "releasing" (self publication) my first "Jazz" record; will probably post a number or two.

MEIMYMEIMYMEIMYMEIMYMEIMYMEIMYMEIMYMEIMYMEIMYMEIMYMEIMYMEIMYMEIMY HAAH!!!  

Oh, have to do the Mozart Haydn Benda record to prove I'm a good musician, not just a pianist 

Heh! Seriously, will be looking forward very much to hearing your recordings (especially ravel and scriabin)  Do keep us posted when they are released

Rubinstein:

Szymanowski Mauzrkas.(He only recorded some of them)

Stravinsky: Petrouchka, Piano Rag music.

Villa Lobos: A prolle de bebe(he didn`t record all of it) and Rudepoema.

Falla: Fantasia Baetica.

-The Mephisto

As much as I enjoy Rubinstein's playing, I don't think his style is brutal and driving enough for Rudepoema, Petrushka, or Fantasia Baetica.

[dmk]

Bolet playing Scriabin's PC.....that would be great (well it is in my imagination anyway!)

[brewtality]

Bolet playing Scriabin's PC.....that would be great (well it is in my imagination anyway!)

Did Bolet record any Scriabin? It would certainly be interesting to hear what he'd make of the piece. Btw have you heard Roger Woodward's recording of the Scrib PC?

I haven't found any if he did....does anyone know???

I do own the Woodward its 'good'...I prefered Michael Kiernan Harvey when I heard it last year (but I guess you always prefer something live)!!

[thierry13]

Liszt playing Islamey ...   

And Rachmaninoff too.

[guru_of_time]

well THERE IS a recording of volodos playing rach2 & paganini rhapsody.
really.

must have overlooked that...but anyway, SWEET

[musicsdarkangel]

Actually, Horowitz doing Rach's 1st sonata would RACH

[pita bread]

I second that. The third movement would be terrifying.

[arensky]

1. All three Medtner Piano Concerti with Rakhmaninov as soloist

drool drool Drool Drool DRool DROol DROOl DROOLLDROOL DROOL DROOL DROOL PANT PANT PANT PANT PANT PANT PANT PANT PANT PANT 

Excuse me, but that would be incredible...

[lisztwasgod]

here are a few recordings i wish existed...LISZT PLAYING HIS OWN WORKS!!!!! That would srely give the world a blessing which it barely deserves...lest we forget, he was the best pianist who ever existed.
