Sergej Bortkiewicz (1877-1952) wrote his Russian Rhapsody, Op. 45 (1935) and the Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op. 28 (1924) for the pianist Paul Wittgenstein. He lost his right arm in the First World War and thereupon commissioned works from important composers. While Wittgenstein made some of the contributions by Ravel, Britten, Hindemith, Richard Strauss and others. sounded too modern, he had a preference for Bortkiewicz's concerto, as it paid homage to the “pharaonic virtuoso” late romantic tradition à la Rachmaninoff. It is precisely this “sound” that the Piano Concerto No. 2 recommended for a new version for two hands, which is now available and opens up a broader scope for the charming, emotional work. In addition to the redesign of the solo part, the arranger Alfonso Soldano also offers a new cadenza that ensures a smoother transition between tempo and sound changes.
