Bebbington/Rpo/Latham-Koenig - Edvard Grieg: Piano Concerto in A minor, Op. 16, sketches for Piano Concerto No. 2 in B minor - premiere, Frederick Deli

An evergreen masterpiece, an under-appreciated jewel and a great 'what might have been' � pianist Mark Bebbington and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Jan Latham Koenig explore the personal and musical connections between Edvard Grieg and Frederick Delius. Heard together on disc for the first time, the Piano Concertos by Grieg and Delius reveal the full extent of the composers' friendship and mutual admiration. Their music seems to share and exalt in ideals of beauty and tone, scale and sentiment to produce a consummate and complementary coupling.
