This review is from: Ned Rorem: Piano Concerto for the Left Hand; Eleven Studies for Eleven Players (Audio CD)

American composer Ned Rorem composed
his Piano Concerto for the left hand
in 1991;written for and dedicated to
the great American pianist Gary Graffman
who since 1980 does not plays professionally
with his right hand. The work is more of a
suite than a concerto, it was written in
three sections that break into eight short
movements. This concerto is a great
addition to an already depleted literature
of the left hand alone. The other piece
in this recording is a piece with a somwhat
missleading tittle:"Eleven Studies for Eleven players"
NOT eleven instruments, the players actually
play one or more instruments...I really like
the music of Rorem, this is a great intro
to his compositional style and technique.
I highly recommend this recording.
