Witold Maliszewski: Piano Concerto in B flat minor/Symphony

Witold Maliszewski: Piano Concerto in B flat minor/Symphony No. 3 [SACD HYBRID] stereo only

Witold Maliszewski (b. 1873) died in 1939 and thus his musical career spanned the great days of pre-Revolutionary Russia as well as the Soviet Union before the Second World War. He became associated with the publisher Belaieff and thus with a wide constituency of Russian composers including Cui, Lyadov, Scriabin, Taneyev and Glazunov. Maliszewski established a significant career as a composer and was the first Rector of the Odessa Conservatory. After the revolution, he moved to Poland and is often considered a Polish composer, teaching at the Chopin Music School in Warsaw. In this vibrant and colourful programme, Martin Yates and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra present gripping performances of the Third Symphony - a major Russian nationalist symphony - and the Piano Concerto in B flat minor. Pianist Peter Donohoe's magisterial performance in the concerto shows him to be a powerful advocate of Maliszewski's music. Symphony no. 3 in C minor op. 14 (1907)
