Please Note Not All Our New Items Are Shrink Wrapped.All items shipped within 3 working days of payment.When Andreas Haefliger conceived this unusual combination of concertos it was with the aim of putting into perspective three pieces, each a unique and highly expressive highlight from the composersx92 output. That Maurice Ravelx92s Concerto for the Left Hand and Bxe9la Bartxf3kx92s Third Piano Concerto fulfilled the requirements was a given: towards the end of his life Bartxf3k wrote his most lyrically expressive concerto while Ravel, inspired by the qualities of the left hand register, wrote a piece full of dark yearning and grotesquely fauvistic dances. The third work was more of a gamble, being a newly commissioned and not yet written concerto. The risk was a calculated one, however, given the stellar reputation of the composer Dieter Ammann, as well as Haefligerx92s personal acquaintance with him. But as Haefliger himself remarks: x91Little could have prepared me for the exceptional work I was to receive: The Piano Concerto x96 Gran Toccata. Keeping tradition close by as an ally in the layering of harmony and rhythm, it explodes into futuristic visions in an extremely personal language and, through its kaleidoscopic colours and pianistic virtuosity, reinvents the genre for the 21st century.x92 The concerto was premiered at the 2019 BBC Proms. On all three occasions, he has been partnered by Susanna Mxe4lkki, chief conductor of the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra which lends Haefliger eminent support in all three works.The Piano Concerto (Gran Toccata)Concerto For The Left HandPiano Concerto No. 3 In E Major, Sz. 119, Bb 127
