Beschreibung

The only piano concerto from this influential Italian composer, it is one characterised by the highest ideals of artistic merit. A substantial work in three movements it is a work of broad themes and even broader aspirations. Enough to test the mettle of the most experienced and gifted of performers it is a work which will be remembered for its poetic grandeur as much as for its incendiary pianistic qualities. --- Das einzige Klavierkonzert dieses einflussreichen italienischen Komponisten zeichnet sich durch höchste ldeale im künstlerischen Anspruch aus. Es ist eine umfangreiche Arbeit mit breit angelegten Themen und noch breiter angelegten Bestrebungen. Ausreichend, um den Mut der erfahrensten und begabtesten Pianisten zu testen, ist es ein Werk, das für seine poetische Grösse ebenso wie für seine Funken sprühenden pianistischen Qualitäten in Erinnerung bleiben wird.

Preface

Sgambati is remembered today chiefly for his contribution to the musical climate of late 19th century Italian life. While other important Italian composers devoted their energies to opera, Sgambati was one of the few who reserved a primary interest in instrumental music. The oeuvre is of this composer is not extensive but is populated almost exclusively with the instrumental forms; symphonic, orchestral and chamber works abound as do a number of works for piano solo including nocturnes and other lyrical pieces. His curiosity for the large form is expressed in a number of works with the Piano Quintets no.1 and no.2, and the second symphony notable in this respect. One may surmise the interest in such large scale pieces follows a tradition of operatic convention and style and there is certainly an effort here, in the piano concerto, to embody the grandiose in a purely instrumental idiom. Sgambati was not immune to the power of the human voice, in fact, his instrumental music is often lyrical to the point of being vocal but his excursions into writing for the voice were limited to a small number of sacred works and occasional songs which are all but forgotten today.
