Product description

Lukas Foss' "Piano Concertos, Elegy for Anne Frank" is a compelling journey through the avant-garde compositions of a masterful artist. Released in 2001 under the Harmonia Mundi label, this album showcases Foss' dynamic range as a composer and pianist. The album features two piano concertos, each divided into three movements, displaying a blend of intricate orchestration and virtuosic piano performances. The first concerto opens with an energetic "Allegro," followed by a reflective "Andante," and concludes with a lively "Allegro." The second concerto begins with an "Allegro sostenuto," transitions into a poignant "Adagietto," and culminates in an exhilarating "Allegro vivace."

The album also includes the deeply moving "Elegy for Anne Frank," a work that reveals Foss' somber and introspective side. Written to accompany passages from Anne Frank's diary, this piece is a poignant tribute that highlights Foss' ability to evoke profound emotions through music. The album's duration of 1 hour and 17 minutes offers a comprehensive exploration of Foss' musical genius, making it a significant addition to any classical music enthusiast's collection. Performances by Jon Nakamatsu, Yakov Kasman, the Pacific Symphony Orchestra, and conducted by Carl St. Clair bring Foss' compositions to life with precision and passion.
