Krenek: Complete Piano Concertos, Vol. 1
Sheet Music

SKU: NX.TOCC0323

By English Symphony Orchestra, Kenneth Woods, and Mikhail Korzhev. By Ernst Krenek. Classical. Listening CD. Published by Toccata Classics (NX.TOCC0323).

The piano concertos of Ernst Krenek (1900-91) are major contributions to the twentieth-century repertoire, comparable to those of Bartok, Prokofiev, Schoenberg and Shostakovich, but astonishingly two of them have never had commercial recordings - an omission this series seeks to redress. Piano Concertos Nos. 1-3, written between 1923 and 1946, show Krenek throwing off the constraints of tonality in favour of a freewheeling, individual use of twelve-tone technique, brimming with colour and often animated with a keen sense of wit.
