At the very heart of a concerto is the interplay and contrast of a solo instrument within a larger instrumental ensemble. The opportunity for dazzling virtuosic display from the soloist has resulted in the concerto becoming a vital musical force both on the concert platform and in the audience arena. This collection includes famous piano concertos from Mozart, Beethoven, Schumann, Brahms, Grieg, Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Liszt, Ravel, Prokofiev and Gershwin.
