An orchestra showpiece: Ligeti’s childhood memories of Transylvanian folk music culminate in a wild, exhilarating dance.
A youthful affection inspired this concerto’s tender, passionate slow movement. Though Chopin’s infatuation was short-lived, the melody is eternal.
Deep, heartfelt and dramatic, reflecting the Czech composer’s ambition to write a piece that would “move the world.”
