Rieti: Piano Concertos - Alessandro Marangoni - Audio CD (Arrives in 50 days)

Dedicated to Francis Poulenc, Vittorio Rieti’s First Piano Concerto formed part of his early success inParis during the 1920s, the work’s high spirits reflecting Rieti’s recent marriage and the birth of hisson Fabio. The Second Piano Concerto started out as a harpsichord concerto for Wanda Landowskabut was later recast. The Third Piano Concerto is notable for its deeply felt central Andantino, whilethe Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra is exuberant with cinematic themes. All of these worksfeature witty passages for orchestral soloists in dialogue with the piano, imbued with Rieti’s originaland unpredictable style.
