Piano Concerto

Album by Aram Ilich Khachaturian & Jean‐Yves Thibaudet & Los Angeles Philharmonic & Gustavo Dudamel

Piano Concerto in D-flat major is a piano concerto by Armenian composer Aram Khachaturian, completed in 1936. The work combines Romantic virtuosity with influences from Armenian folk music, marked by bold rhythmic drive and rich orchestration, and it occupies an early, formative place in Khachaturian's career as one of his principal orchestral works of the Soviet period.
