Album Notes & Community Reviews
Captured with the robust, driving energy characteristic of mid-century interpretation, this performance emphasizes the dramatic tension inherent in the composer's only minor-key piano concerto. The soloist must navigate a complex dialogue with the orchestra, marking a stark departure from the lighter, Mozartian models of the era. It remains a crucial benchmark for bridging classical architecture with emerging romantic storminess.
