Prokofiev PC 2:
呢首係佢學生時代個時，佢既至friend Maximilian Schmidthof自殺，佢極度傷心而寫既。成首都好痛苦、好低沉、好激情，係所有音樂之中我最喜歡之一。五分鐘既cadenza裡面極端情緒變化同埋難度可以話係協奏曲repertoire之中數一數二。
我既首選recording: Gutierrez + Jarvi

Prokofiev PC 5:
好輕快同刺激既一首協奏曲，特別係第三樂章(Toccata)同埋樂曲結尾，但係又不失正經既時候，尤其係優美既第四樂章。而且我覺得呢首好underrated。
我既首選recording: Richter + Maazel

Prokofiev VC 1:
除左優美(1、3樂章)同埋刺激(第2樂章)之外，仲有幾段極為令人感動既片段(特別第3樂章有豎琴個度)，差不多係我至喜愛既小提琴協奏曲。
我既首選recording: Vengerov + Rostropovich

係咁多先，遲d再傾其他個幾首

唔好意思, 寫得太多, 如果寫埋註解會好大篇.. 不過e個list 係我每一個week都會聽一次, 唔聽訓唔到..
我本人會推介去試聽多d 唔同ge concertos, 因為有好多人都只係聽popular 個d, 但係其實仲有好多好好聽ge concerto存在, e.g. Scharwenka Piano Concerto no.2

Barber premiere 左佢個 concerto 未ga 個陣? 如果未, 評判未聽過都唔出奇, 我諗, 始終有錦多contemporary ge composer, 真係好難聽得哂..

哈哈, 你彈prok 2, 個首真係好難, 我試過sight read 一次, 睇完之後完全覺得自己係唔應該再彈琴..哈哈

我自己都唔係香港, Christmas 先返, 我今次返去會係我朋友organise ge一個performance到彈 Schumann a minor 3rd mvt with 2nd piano...

我兩邊都有彈過(1st & 2nd piano), 因為都有諗住用Rach 2 黎考試, 但e家諗諗下都好risky, 所以仲未知會彈邊首concerto 住...Rach 2 其實唔係話太難, 不過都係depends on 個pianist ge technique, 有人會覺得rach 2 難因為佢地ge technique 唔suitable 但又可以彈到rach 3...haha                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

Barber好似係John Browning彈premiere, Barber仲以呢首協奏曲贏左Pulitzer Prize

一個咁高質素既作品冇乜人聽過真係嘥左... (雖然我知有好多好作品我自己都未聽過)

你通常一首協奏曲要準備幾耐?

可能我既arpeggio技巧未夠發達啦... 我覺得Rach 2個d running notes都幾難彈下... 你諗住用佢黎考咩試?

concerto 好難講話幾耐起到, 因為都要睇下, 你自己係唔係好鐘意e首鋼協, 鐘意的話會快好多, 唔鐘意就練極都唔入腦...錦都要睇下首鋼協係難定易, 唔好睇or聽mozart 個d好似好易, 但係其實要記入腦都唔易, 成日都同一個pattern, 轉少少key, develop 多d 又變左令外一樣野, 所以我有得選擇我唔會彈mozart...

錦講ravel concerto in g la, 我9月開始彈, now 成首3個mvt 起左, 同2nd piano 彈埋off by heart, 黎緊仲有兩個week 就比賽, 我練得錦快我諗係因為我鐘意首concerto la, 不過我覺得, 成首ravel 最難係 2nd mvt, 因為左手ge chord 好難記入腦, 成日都會唔知自己去左邊... 錦schumann 我用左一個月都未練好其中 ge 一個mvt, 因為太多野係入面, 會要真係用好多時間去慢慢熟習, 所以真係好depends on d concerto and your technique la...不過已正常speaking, 一首concerto 要大概用一年ge時間黎去練, mental practise, then physically practise... 當然有好多叻人ge, 好似我有一個美國朋友, 佢一個week 起左成首 beethoven #3 出黎, 仲同2nd piano 彈埋考埋試, 所以都無話幾耐先會起到的

你now 又有無練緊concerto?

我下年個technical exam入面寫明要考concerto (cadenza where appropriate), 唔可以用rach 2 因為佢無cadenza, 所以黎緊要開始準備定下一首concerto 考試用, 諗緊ge就係 Schumann or Beethoven 3, 今年個syllubus就係 2首scarlatti's sonata + 2首romantic etude...

你christmas 返唔返香港? 可以一齊去彈下..

我睇到你寫 Messiaen, 你有無聽過 佢個首 Reveil du Oiseaux? 我琴日係我e邊有個concert, 個program 其中一首就係Messiaen Reveil du Oiseaux, 呢個係一個mvt ge concerto, piano and orchestra, 我覺得這piece對我黎講佢比到我係音樂上一個新概念, 因為成首concerto 係 無melodic line, 只係得d bird 係到叫, 仲要有 38 種唔同ge 雀係入面, 可以試試e一首!!
