Product Description

From Amazon.com

Both major works on this release are rarely performed and rarely recorded--but they shouldn't be. The First Symphony can stand right beside Aaron Copland's Third Symphony and Roy Harris's Third Symphony. In fact, Barber's has more complications than either of the other works, but is structurally and tonally their equal. The Piano Concerto was itself premiered by John Browning, who had considerable input on the work, along with a last-minute suggestion in the final movement from the great Vladimir Horowitz that allowed a human being to actually play it. It's no cakewalk and should have more currency than it does. --Paul Cook

5.0 out of 5 stars Monumental Performance of Piano Concerto, 28 Jan 2008
By Scriabinmahler (Cambridge UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   

It is amazing I'm the first reviewer of this CD! Barber's Piano Concerto is probably one of the most important concertos written after Rachmaninov's. The work consists of extraordinary 1st movement written in mixture of atonal and Romantic musical language, hauntingly beautiful adagio used in the film Platoon, and the scintillating Prokofiev-like last movement. Here John Browning, the dedicatee and the first performer of the work, gives monumental performance with unsurpassed grandeur and verve, every movement played in perfect tempo.
