From the late-Romantic Andante e Allegro con fuoco by Guido Alberto Fano and Dallapiccola’s early wartime concerto to the final, much later work by Cristian Carrara, this album provides a welcome overview of the piano concerto in twentieth- and twenty-first-century Italy. All four works benefit from the playing of Roberto Prosseda, whose talents as a champion of Italian contemporary music and of undiscovered piano music make him the ideal advocate.
