11th October 2024
Bates's concerto is an ideal microcosm of the ideas at play in the album as a whole, variously hinting at the genres of jazz, film music and minimalism that Trifonov has performed earlier, whilst also taking in wider allusions to Renaissance music and the more Romantic tradition of piano concertos in the vein of Rachmaninoff (a nod to Trifonov's heritage). It's a highly enjoyable piece that is brilliantly despatched by Trifonov and the orchestra.
