Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, Philharmonia Orchestra, Ettore Gracis, Rachmaninov, Ravel - Concerto No 4 In G Minor Concerto In G Major

Review by Vienda Maria

The album Concerto No 4 In G Minor Concerto In G Major by Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, Philharmonia Orchestra, Ettore Gracis, Rachmaninov, Ravel is a masterpiece of classical music. The album features two concertos, the Concerto No 4 In G Minor by Rachmaninov and the Concerto In G Major by Ravel, both performed by the legendary pianist Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli.

Michelangeli's performance is outstanding, displaying his virtuosity and musical sensitivity in equal measure. He brings out the nuances and subtleties of the music, making it come alive in a way that is both powerful and delicate. His playing is supported by the Philharmonia Orchestra, conducted by Ettore Gracis, who provide a rich and vibrant accompaniment that complements Michelangeli's solo work perfectly.

The first concerto on the album, Rachmaninov's Concerto No 4 In G Minor, is a challenging piece that requires great technical skill and emotional depth. Michelangeli rises to the challenge, delivering a performance that is both technically flawless and deeply moving. The second concerto, Ravel's Concerto In G Major, is a more playful and light-hearted piece, and Michelangeli's interpretation captures its whimsical charm perfectly.

About Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, Philharmonia Orchestra, Ettore Gracis, Rachmaninov, Ravel

last ned album Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, Philharmonia Orchestra, Ettore Gracis, Rachmaninov, Ravel - Concerto No 4 In G Minor Concerto In G Major

Born: March 7, 1875 (Ciboure, France). Died: December 28, 1937 (Paris, France). Joseph Maurice Ravel was a French composer, pianist and conductor. He is often associated with impressionism along with his elder contemporary Claude Debussy, although both composers rejected the term. In Ravel's piano compositions you can find harpsichord style ideas, references to the Baroque, impressionist procedures and reminiscences of romantic pianism. His music is characterized by a refined timbre and harmonic research; even if its layered and dissonant harmonic structures still remain in the tonal sphere, the traditional harmonic relationships are brought to an extreme tension (particularly in the last works). His orchestral compositions are detached from the Germanic symphonic tradition, in these works the rhythmic and timbral elements are highlighted as well as themes inspired by Spanish folklore can be found. Ravel's entire production, from the youthful and brilliant "Quartet for strings" (1902-1903) to the "Piano Concerto for the left hand" of 1931, is a succession of precious works that are to be considered among the masterpieces of the music of twentieth century In the 1920s and 1930s Ravel was internationally regarded as France's greatest living composer.{;}Italian classical pianist, born 5 January 1920 in Brescia, Italy and died 12 June 1995 in Lugano, Switzerland. Brother of violinist Umberto Benedetti Michelangeli.
