Sculthorpe, Edwards, Williamson - Piano Concertos

Three of the best-known Australian piano concertos are featured on this specially priced CD. Ross Edwards’ well-known concerto is brimming with exhuberant dance rhythms and luscious orchestral colours, while Peter Sculthorpe’s work is more introverted, but immediately appealing with its fascinating Japanese and Balinese influences. Malcolm Williamson presents a work very characteristic of the concerto genre, resplendent in its virtuosity. These are three works that deserve to be in any collection, unashamedly Australian, they are powerful demonstrations of the skill and breadth of our composers and their music.
