A supersized piano concerto for Christmas!

Wilhelm Furtwängler Symphonic Piano Concerto (1954)

The first movement alone is longer than
many other piano concerti! Keep your
bladder bottles close by! ;-)

Enjoy!

As we'd say in the Boston area: a real pissah!

I guess we can use this thread as a pretext to list favorite
composers-conductors worth considering in both roles since Strauss
(aural evidence matters, hence Mahler does not count regrettably).
Stravinsky, Britten, Bernstein and Boulez, of course, but Maderna,
Knussen and Ades come to mind as well. Not above bar for one reason or
another Copland, Pfitzner, Hindemith, Salonen. Duke Ellington is hors
concours.
