More obscure piano concertos

[Rach3]

In addition to the Ilmari Hannikainin PC posted earlier today, do these works deserve their obscurity ? I think not ; my first hearings today :

Leo Ornstein’s Piano Concerto ( 1925 ) :

Larysa Kuzmenko’s Piano Concerto No.1 ( 1996 ) :

Anna Kuzina’s Piano Concerto ( 2006 ) :

Vitezslava Kapralova’s Piano Concerto ( 1935 ) :

3 are ladies.Ticket sales, of course , too . Too bad we can’t have “ craft concertos “ as we do craft beer ( which I also support ! ). While the above are no “ Emperors”, they are not Tchaikovsky-Lite ( or Bud Lite ) , either.

One more to hear, a guilty pleasure :

Czech Vladimir Soukup’s ( 1930-2012) Piano Concerto of 1961 :

Irrelevantly, I have known two people in my life, both wonderful fellows, named Soukup (generally pronounced by English speakers SOO-cup).

Sorry, Rach3, but that seems like a lot of noise to me. On the other hand, since before you became a member I've been doing the same thing with violin concertos. Go figure.
