:

This “unconventional” piano concerto takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes to perform and includes a male chorus in the final movement. The piano is completely integrated with the orchestra, and is more austere than flamboyant, and its wide range of musical ideas means that it is not often performed. Beecham’s unique interpretation shines through in this performance. [Performed by] Noel Mouton-Wood (piano), BBC Male Chorus, BBC Symphony Orchestra, Thomas Beecham (conductor)
