Concerto for Piano and Orchestra, op. 39 / Fantasia contrappuntistica
Album by Ferruccio Busoni & Viktoria Postnikova & Chœur de Radio France & Orchestre national de France & Gennadi Nikolayevich Rozhdestvensky
Concerto for Piano and Orchestra, Op. 39 and Fantasia contrappuntistica are compositions by Ferruccio Busoni, dating from 1904 and 1910 respectively. Both works occupy a position between late Romanticism and early modernism, featuring virtuosic piano writing, dense contrapuntal textures and an expanded harmonic idiom that reflect Busoni's experimental approach to form and his influence on the development of 20th-century piano repertoire.
