Alfonso Rendano: Piano... - Daniela Roma - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Alfonso Rendano was at the forefront of Italy's instrumental composition renaissance in the late 19th century but remains less well known than his near-contemporaries Giovanni Sgambati and Giuseppe Martucci. He was also a prominent pianist who performed with the illustrious violinist Joseph Joachim. The rhapsodic Piano Concerto, recorded here for the first time in its original edition, was premiered in a version for two pianos in which the composer was joined by Franz Liszt, who called it 'a vigorous, remarkable work, one I greatly appreciate.' The Allegro in A minor was rediscovered in 1969 and dates from Rendano's artistic maturity. The Piano Concerto is performed in Vito Cristofaro's edition by him with Rendano's leading contemporary exponent, Daniela Roma.
