Album Notes & Community Reviews

This celebrated recording perfectly pairs the composer's radically different approaches to the concerto form, featuring the jazz-inflected G major work alongside the brooding Concerto for the Left Hand. The soloist executes the notoriously difficult, highly rhythmic passages with dazzling French flair and crystalline tone. It remains a critically revered benchmark for interpreting the impressionist master's piano works.
