Classical Music April 2020

Piatti is underrated as a composer. He did not write much, and mostly just for his own instrument, but on this showing the quality was high – not astonishing but quite good enough to stand comparison with the top instrumentalists of that era who wrote for their own performance. The second concerto, premiered in London in 1873, is certainly worth a regular hearing. Josephine Knight has done great service by reviving these works.
