Remarks:
The three compositions that comprise Britten's music for solo piano and orchestra constitute a unique, yet still little explored, part of his output. Here they are brought together in a stunning disc that pays tribute to the great artistry of all involved. Steven Osborne's performance of Britten's 'Piano Concerto' with the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra under Ilan Volkov at the 2007 BBC Proms redefined this often undervalued work in the ears of his listeners, imbuing it with hitherto unsuspected emotional and musical weight. The same musicians have put down a benchmark recording here and, as a bonus, also recorded the original third movement, which Britten discarded in his 1945 revision.Reviews
