Minnesota Orchestra

Gary Graffman, piano

Stanislaw Skrowaczewski

Concerto Nicolò for piano left hand and orchestra

Concerto for Orchestra

American pianist Gary Graffman has been a major figure in the music world since 1949. He made an extensive series of acclaimed recordings for CBS and RCA with the orchestras of New York, Philadelphia, Cleveland, Chicago and Boston. His performing career was curtailed by an injury to his right hand, and now his performances focus on the repertoire for piano left hand. Stanislaw Skrowaczewski is an internationally-known conductor and composer. Concerto Nicolò was commissioned for Gary Graffman, and is a lighthearted score based on the famous 24th Caprice of Nicolò Paganini. The Concerto for Orchestra is a brilliantly-scored work.

Reviews:

“The slight Paganini snippet is developed and redeveloped, transmuting it into the musical equivalent of precious metal. The Concerto Nicolo should become a major addition to the piano left hand repertory…Warmly recommended.” —Ronald Legum, Audiophile Audition

“The eminent Polish conductor and composer…is one of the great hidden secrets of the music world…Like Bartok and Shostakovich, Skrowaczewski approaches music as a sensual pleasure for the ear. For its serious musical value, among the dozens of Reference Recordings available in excellent sound, this CD really deserves to be THE demonstration disc.” —Benjamin Ivry, The Audiophile Voice
