Eleven favourite 20th Century piano concertos.

[Christo]

Another first attempt (no doubt forgetting too many):

Falla: Noches en los jardines de España
Ravel: in G
Vaughan Williams: in C
Bartók: No. 2
Gershwin: in F
Shostakovich: No. 2
Berkeley (Lennox): for Two Pianos
Villa-Lobos: Chôros No. 11
Rawsthorne: No. 2
Barber: Op. 38
Saygun: No. 2

[arpeggio]

Great lists.  Found some new works that I was unfamiliar with I need to check out 

[Cato]

I am surprised that Bartok's efforts do not appear more often!

So..

Bartok All 3 concertos

Busoni's

Gershwin's

Rachmaninov's Third and Fourth

Tcherepnin's All 6, but especially #2 and #5

13, not 11     Some people just cannot follow the rules!

Bump!   Mainly to emphasize the Tcherepnin works to our newer members!

[ahinton]

Rachmaninoff 3
Reger
Foulds Dynamic Triptych
Medtner (any of them)

[ritter]

Let's see (in alphapbetical order by composer):

Bartók Concerto No. 3 in E major
Berio Concerto for two pianos and orchestra
Busoni Concerto in C major, Op. 39
Falla Noches en los jardines de España
Ginastera Concerto No. 1, op. 28 & No. 2, op. 39
C. Halffter Concierto para piano y orquesta (1987-88--not the early one form 1953)
Maderna Piano concerto (1958-59, not the early one from 1942)
Poulenc Piano concerto in C-sharp minor (hey, another work in that key! )
Ravel Concerto for the Left Hand
Schoenberg Concerto op. 42

Prokofiev (any of the five, but particulary No. 3) could easiliy have made it on the list, as could have Stravinsky's Movements, and Schmitt's Symphonie concertante.

[kyjo]

Since it's too hard for me to choose just eleven favorites , I'm gonna leave out the obvious suspects (Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev, Ravel, Bartok, etc) and just go with lesser-known concerti:

Atterberg (of course )
Alwyn 2
Liebermann 2
Medtner 3
Merikanto 3 (mainly for its extraordinarily beautiful slow movement)
Foulds Dynamic Triptych
Szymanowski Symphony no. 4 Symphony Concertante
Hanson
Englund 2
Tveitt 4
Bridge Phantasm

Great list Kyle although I don't know all of them, including the one by Atterberg 
The Foulds, Bridge and Hanson are favourites of mine too.
Coincidentally listening to 'Sinfonia Funebre' as I write.

Britten
Englund 2
Foulds Dynamic Triptych
Mathieu 4
Medtner 3
Poulenc

I decided to exclude concerti written near the beginning of the 20th century that are firmly Romantic in idiom (e.g. Rachmaninoff 2 and 3, Alnaes, etc.)

[DavidW]

The concertos of:

Ravel, Stravinsky, Shostakovich, Prokofiev, Bartok and Schoenberg.


Prokofiev being my favorite.

I think I just blew right over the number!  How I would revisit today... hmm... I think Martinu and Rauvaara wrote good PCs.  But I'm surprised that Lutoslawski did not make my list back then.  Also Carter.

I would have to think about how to make a proper list though.

[DavidW]

Rachmaninov's 2nd
Bartok's 3rd
Prokofiev's 3rd
Carter
Lutoslawski
Rautavaara's 3rd
Ravel (both)
Martinu's 3rd
Shostakovich's 2nd
Schoenberg
Ligeti

[Wanderer]

In no particular order:

Medtner 1-3
Rachmaninov 4
Prokofiev 2
Ravel left hand
Korngold left hand
Busoni
Vaughan Williams
Foulds Dynamic Triptych
Scriabin Prométhée

I like my 2013 list, citing my perennial favourites. But with inflation and all, I think adding some more of those is definitely in order: 

Prokofiev 1 & 3
Bartók 1 & 2
Skalkottas 1-3
Ravel (the other one)
Shostakovich 1 & 2

Britten
Delius
Tovey
Scharwenka 4

R. Strauss Parergon zur Symphonia Domestica
Walton Sinfonia Concertante
Messiaen Turangalîla-Symphonie

[San Antone]

Rachmaninoff, Nos 2 & 3 (1, 2)
Ravel, in G and Left-hand (3, 4)
Schoenberg (5)
Shostakovich, Nos. 1 & 2 (6, 7)
Bernstein, Symphony No. 2 (yeah, I know he didn't call it a concerto, but that is how I think of it). (
Poulenc, Aubade, Concerto for piano (9, 10)
Wuorinen, all four (11-14)
Cage, Concerto for prepared piano; Concert for piano and orchestra (15, 16)
Carter, Concerto for Piano (17)
Falla, Nights in the Garden of Spain (18)
Bartok 1-3 (19, 20, 21)

I included one extra in case the Bernstein doesn't count.

[Florestan]

Rachmaninoff, Nos 2 & 3 (1, 2)
Ravel, in G and Left-hand (3, 4)
Schoenberg (5)
Shostakovich, Nos. 1 & 2 (6, 7)

Carter, Concerto for Piano (17)

Bartok 1-3 (19, 20, 21)

I included one extra in case the Bernstein doesn't count.

You mean ten extra, actually (the thread asks for eleven, you nominated twenty-one)...

[Cato]

The original version of Rachmaninoff's Fourth Piano Concerto is to be preferred over the cut versions.

I have become enthusiastic about the Piano Concertos of Tomas Svoboda, which unfortunately are not available via YouTube.

Here is a review:

And this page gives you one-minute excerpts of various works, including the piano concertos, for a taste of what the music is like:
