You have to envy the citizens of Geneva...Add a pianist in Francesco Piemontesi’s class, and here are stellar interpretations of three very different concerto-type works, ordered into a journey from easier listening to (notionally at least) more difficult.

In an era of increasingly fussy and indulgent Ravel G major Concerto performances, the direct, forthright and classically orientated approach that pianist Francesco Piemontesi and conductor Jonathan Nott favour in the first two movements refreshes.

In theory this combination of pieces might seem like a somewhat eclectic grouping, and yet in practice it works beautifully, all held together by Piemontesi's impeccable solo contributions and the authoritative guiding hand of Nott at the helm.

What really pulls the crazy trio together – well, two and a half of them – is the opportunity for the classy Swiss pianist Francesco Piemontesi to be winningly propulsive, nimble and precise. The Ravel performance is especially dazzling, with gorgeously polished contributions from the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande under the gifted European-based British conductor, Jonathan Nott.
