The first has long been one of Marc-Andre Hamelin\\u2019s party pieces and we are delighted to have paired him with Andrew Litton, a conductor who knows these works backwards (he has recorded the second concerto as pianist!), to give the resulting performances a vitality and flair, which we think places them amongst the greatest.\\r\u003cbr\u003eThe Shchedrin concerto, though less known, is no less enjoyable. There is brilliance in both the piano writing and the orchestration, and the surprise appearance in the finale of a jazz trio including vibraphone and drum kit is sure to bring the house down.\\r\u003cbr\u003eOne of our records of the year!\u003cp\u003eAllegro Moderato\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLento\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eModerato\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllegro Con Brio\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllegro\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAndante\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllegro\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDialogues: Tempo Rubato\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eImprovisations: Allegro\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContrasts: Andante - Allegro\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55145701278081,"sku":"760336","price":12.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51kr83cVhwL._SL1500.jpg?v=1767820634","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/760336","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
