Full Score. Par VINE CARL. Carl Vine's Piano Concerto No. 1 (1997) is one of three large-scale works composed with pianist Michael Kieran Harvey in mind - the others being his first two piano sonatas.  Its composer describes it as 'a conscious and continuous tribute to the Piano Concerto as a medium and historical entity', a fact most apparent in the slow movement, with its long melodic lines evoking both Ravel and Bach.  This 25-minute concerto is cast in the familiar three-movement form, with fast outer movements framing a central slow movement.  The outer movements share some material (particularly in some lively conversational interchanges between piano and trumpet), and also some typically pianistic glitter across the orchestra, with harp and glockenspiel ensuring that the piano is less of an outsider than might have otherwise been the case./ Répertoire / Orchestre et Piano

(Fulll Score). Par HAWES PATRICK. “It’s very direct, it’s very honest, it’s very melodic and it’s very beautiful.” Peter Jablonski, pianist. A three-movement work for piano and orchestra written for Peter Jablonski the concerto is a journey of excitement and – above all – majesty, through the pain of loss and bereavement, through to victory and the fulfilment of hope. / Date parution : 2022-10-12/ Répertoire / Orchestre et Piano

Par GRIEG EDVARD. The piano concerto in a minor stands out in Edvard Grieg’s oeuvre. Besides this famous concerto, he composed only a few other large orchestral works. Because of its popularity even in Grieg’s lifetime, it was often performed, not least by the composer himself. So it is not surprising that Grieg made many changes to the score up to 1907. But at the same time, the concerto’s size, form and substance remained completely unaltered. Interventions in the piano part basically involved subtleties of nuance, and only a very few places in the music text were altered. The situation was different with the orchestration. Here Grieg was keen to experiment and kept filing away at the orchestra sound right up to the last. Melodies were moved to other instruments, accompanying string chords were reconstructed, and above all the list of scored instruments was changed. The main source of the Urtext edition by Ernst-Günter Heinemann is the new edition of the score originally published in 1907 by C. F. Peters, thus several years after the first edition of 1872. Taken into account in the present edition are the changes that Grieg made up to the time of his death. / Date parution : 2022-07-20/ Répertoire / Orchestre et Piano
