The Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 16, composed by Edvard Grieg in 1868, was the only concerto Grieg completed. It is one of his most popular works and is among the most popular of all piano concerti. The concerto is in three movements: Allegro molto moderato (A minor). The first movement is in sonata form and is noted for the timpani roll in its first bar that leads to a dramatic piano flourish, which leads to the main theme. Then the key changes to C major, for the secondary theme
Having collaborated with the orchestra on several occasions, Jean-Efflam Bavouzet is the soloist in the Piano Concerto, a piece that stands out as a shining example of a single great thought captured and expressed in music. The power of this conception is evident throughout the concerto in the pianists faithful, yet highly romantic interpretation. 23: No. 28, Solveigs vuggevise 17. Piano Concerto in A Minor, Op. 16: I.

Maestoso - Poco più moderato by Sir Clifford Curzon & London Symphony Orchestra & George Szell. The Litolff Scherzo in particular is sheer, quicksilver fun. Szell is intense and rock-steady before yielding place to the delicacy and subtle rubato of his pianist. Curzon never bangs the hell out of the music but instead relies upon concentration and precision while maintaining a wonderfully warm, bell-like tone to match the sonority of the LSO.
