Description
Borys Lyatoshynsky's Slavonic Concerto is considered one of the greatest masterpieces of Ukrainian classical music.
The unique aspect of this work is that it is entirely based on the folk melodies and motifs of Ukraine and its neighboring countries. Written in the tradition of the great concertos of the 19th and early 20th centuries, this work is highly personal and perfectly faithful to the composer's style and aesthetic due to its inventiveness and boldness.
The highly virtuosic piano playing, despite its sometimes formidable difficulty, is nonetheless imbued with intimacy, richness, and refinement. The intricate dialogue between soloist and orchestra within a comprehensive dramatic narrative creates a truly symphonic tableau.
