Product description

Immerse yourself in the captivating world of Michael Tippett's "Tippett: Piano Concerto & Symphony No. 2 (Live)," a remarkable collection of live performances recorded at the prestigious Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall. This album, released on November 29, 2024, under the London Philharmonic Orchestra label, showcases Tippett's mastery of neoclassical composition, offering a unique blend of accessibility and originality.

The album features two of Tippett's most compelling works: the Piano Concerto and Symphony No. 2. The Piano Concerto, influenced by the Fourth Concerto yet distinctly original, is performed with precision and passion. Symphony No. 2, conducted by Edward Gardner, brings Tippett's musical language into sharp focus, delivering first-rate performances of rarely recorded works.

Each track is a testament to Tippett's genius, from the energetic "Allegro non troppo" of the Piano Concerto to the soothing "Adagio molto e tranquillo" of Symphony No. 2. The album's duration of 1 hour and 7 minutes ensures a comprehensive journey through Tippett's evocative compositions.

This album is not just a collection of tracks but a celebration of Michael Tippett's enduring legacy in the classical music world. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to Tippett's work, this live recording promises an engaging and enriching listening experience.
