· This awaited release is the first disc in a series of Olli
Mustonen and the Finnish Radio Symphony Orchestra
conducted by Hannu Lintu performing the Piano Concertos
by Sergei Prokofiev.
·
Without a doubt some of the most substantial twentieth
century masterworks, Prokofiev's piano concertos prove the
composer's brilliant piano skills. The composer premiered
his First Piano Concerto in 1914.
·
The Third Piano Concerto is the most popular of Prokofiev's
concertos. The piece took several years to complete, and
premiered in Chicago in 1921.
·
Prokofiev's Fourth Piano Concerto (for the left hand) is
the most rarely heard of the three concertos featured on
this recording. He wrote the piece in 1931 for pianist Paul
Wittgenstein, but the work wasn't performed until 1956.
·
Olli Mustonen is sought after by orchestras all over the
world, and he has performed and recorded with such groups
as the Berlin Philharmonic, the New York Philharmonic, and
The Royal Concertgebouw. His recent collaborations with the
Finnish Radio Symphony have garnered excellent reviews.
