Martin Roscoe - Lloyd: The Piano Concertos [New CD]

Description: Martin Roscoe - Lloyd: The Piano Concertos [New CD] Artist: Martin Roscoe Title: Lloyd: The Piano Concertos Condition: Format: CD Release Date: 2024 Label: Lyrita UPC: 5020926242129 Genre: Classical Artists If the first three piano concertos have the heft and communicative power of Lloyd's larger middle-period symphonies, the Fourth has a close affinity to the Ninth Symphony, which was completed the previous year. Both pieces exhibit an impish sense of fun, tempered by profound feelings of yearning and regret. George Lloyd approached the piano concerto form with imagination and individuality. His idiomatic solo writing avoids shallow virtuosity and empty rhetoric and there are no mighty tussles between piano and orchestral forces encountered in archetypal large-scale concertante scores. Instead, the composer offers a series of deeply personal attempts to reconcile time-honoured elements of display with symphonic preoccupations of long-range tonality, rhythmic energy and melodic growth. In sum, Lloyd's four piano concertos constitute a compelling and distinctive branch of his creative legacy. © Paul ConwayCopyright DirectToU LLC. All Rights Reserved.
