*** Résumé en anglais seulement ***
'Ang and Dariescu s approach to the concerto s famous opening points to an urgent and incisive reading. And that s how it continues. I was particularly impressed by the pianist s firm control of the notes and the conductor s diligent, entirely supportive accompaniment ... If there s one word that sums up this album for me it s modesty; indeed, the concerto succeeds precisely because it doesn t attempt to storm that daunting summit. Instead what we get is a fresh, invigorating performance that still captures all the work s important elements. As for the suite, that confirms Dariescu as a most engaging artist who, one senses, has much to say about the music she plays ... a splendid release. A most rewarding account of the concerto and a delightful one of the Pletnev suite; good sound, too.' --Dan Morgan MusicWeb International, 9th November 2016
