{"product_id":"san-francisco-symphony-piano-concertos-cd","title":"San Francisco Symphony - Piano Concertos (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails: \u003c\/strong\u003ePianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard joins forces with the San Francisco Symphony and Music Director Esa-Pekka Salonen for a recording of Bartók's complete piano concertos. A pianist himself; Bartók imbued his three concertos with multiple aspects of his compositional persona; ranging from complex and innovative (the First) to exuberant (the Second) and serene (the Third). The result is a fascinating slice of his musical life. This all-Bartók release marks the first Pentatone collaboration between Esa-Pekka Salonen and the San Francisco Symphony; an ensemble he has reshaped through creative performance concepts and expansive new media projects. A renowned champion of twentieth-century music; Pierre-Laurent Aimard has released multiple acclaimed albums in his exclusive contract with Pentatone; including Messiaen's Catalogue d'Oiseaux (2018) and Visions de l'Amen (2022); along with Beethoven's Hammerklavier Sonata \u0026amp; Eroica Variations (2021). He also joined Tamara Stefanovich in Etudes and Frames (2023); with music by Vassos Nicolaou. Salonen returns to the label for the first time since his recording of Stravinsky's Perséphone (2018); the San Francisco Symphony previously appeared on the 2005 Pentatone release Young America.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50400965886226,"sku":"8717306260299","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/4237975-3144838.jpg?v=1729119299","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/san-francisco-symphony-piano-concertos-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
