Konzert für Klavier und Orchester, op. 39

Album by Ferruccio Busoni & Volker Banfield & Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks & Lutz Herbig

Konzert für Klavier und Orchester, Op. 39 is a piano concerto by Ferruccio Busoni, completed in 1907 and first performed that year. The work marries late-Romantic virtuosity with expansive orchestral colour and emergent modernist tendencies, featuring a very demanding solo piano part, large-scale forces and an uncommon choral finale, and it represents one of Busoni's most ambitious orchestral statements that signals his movement from Romantic idioms toward more progressive compositional ideas.
