Description: Labor / Triendl - Left Hand Piano Concertos Wittgenstein Concertos [New CD] Artist: Labor / Triendl Title: Left Hand Piano Concertos Wittgenstein Concertos Condition: Format: CD Release Date: 2024 Label: Capriccio UPC: 845221055213 Genre: Classical Artists Besides the well-known Left Hand Piano Concertos by Korngold, Prokofiev, Ravel and others, this very first Concert of Josef Labor marks the beginning of this genre in 1915. One-Handed pianist Paul Wittgenstein ordered it already during his captivity in Russia where he lost his right arm but determined to forward his pianistic career. Labor was part of Johannes Brahms's close circle of friends. At the age of three, he lost his sight due to smallpox. For him composition was a luxury, insofar as he had to rely on the help of a scribe who had to commit the work to paper. Labor's music is very skillfully composed, always sensuous, and first and foremost melodious; it does not require a too complete concentration on itself. These World Premiere Recordings marks an highlight of Capriccio's Labor-Edition which focused already since years on this sensitive Music of an mostly forgotten composer.© DirectToU LLC.
