Piano Concerto / Scherzo / Symphonic Variations is an LP by Edvard Grieg, Clifford Curzon, César Franck, Henry Litolff from 1961 released on the Decca label.
About this album
Clifford Curzon brings elegant authority to this Romantic programme, pairing concertante showpieces by Grieg, Litolff and Franck. The Grieg Piano Concerto provides the centrepiece, while Litolff’s Scherzo and Franck’s Variations Symphoniques showcase the bravura writing and symphonic sweep that made 19th-century piano repertoire so enduring. Curzon’s clarity, poise and tonal control suit this music especially well, drawing out both lyricism and virtuosity without exaggeration. Issued as a 1960 stereo reissue, the release presents three contrasting works that illuminate the romantic piano tradition from different national perspectives.
