Product Description
Contents: [21st Century ECM New Series] [SHM-CD] This is the first concerto album by Till Fellner, a pianist born in Vienna in 1972. Fellner has established himself as a Viennese Beethoven interpreter by performing all of Beethoven's piano sonatas around the world. His talent and overflowing musical sense, although quite different in style, can be said to be a lineage of Viennese music inherited from Friedrich Gulda, one of Vienna's leading pianists. Also noteworthy is the exquisite accompaniment by the Montreal Symphony Orchestra conducted by Kent Nagano. Limited-time bonus for first edition: Includes serial number for entry into a lottery for an ECM imported tote bag. [Track Listing] Beethoven: 1. Piano Concerto No. 4 in G major, Op. 58 2.
