This work was completed in 1904 and remains the longest piano concerto to have been heard in public.
Piano, orchestra and male chorus convey extraordinary synthesis of Austro-German and Italian impulses.
Roberto Cappello, who triumphed at the Premio Busoni competition in 1976, makes a compelling case for this work.
Highly recommended
