Viktor Ullmann: Piano Concerto

[chriss]

The Piano Concerto from 1939 by Ullmann (who was killed in 1944) is a short work, dense and impressive. There was a recording from the mid-90s with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. It has been recorded three more times over the past few years. The last one was released this year. So perhaps the work is no longer "unsung" and is now part of the repertoire?

I like the recording by Herbert Schuch with the WDR Sinfonieorchester conducted by Olari Elts.
