Ivan Moravec, Philadelphia Orchestra with Keene: Grieg Piano Concerto live 1984


Sometimes I'm silly and try to stick words in here to describe or peddle or even vaguely reflect music.

unnecessary here.






Edvard Grieg

Piano Concerto


Ivan Moravec, piano

The Philadelphia Orchestra

Christopher Keene, conductor

live broadcast, October 19, 1984



I've no other info about this save that it is Ivan's debut with the Fabulous Philadelphians.



Links for this in comments, as customary; if you enjoy this, I must suggest


something that has given more enjoyment with each listen,

from the Czech recording company Supraphon's

collaboration with Mr. Moravec:


Live In Brussels


He plays the Beethoven Pastoral sonata, Some Chopin mazurki, nocturnes, the Scherzo in B minor and a few of his Brahms lagniappes, always twinkling with a watchmaker's focus and brilliance.



As it is an official release, very reasonably priced and relatively available,

here is the link to see it and buy it if you wish

With that, I have no other comment than I love Ivan Moravec.
