Gary Graffman & Minnesota Orchestra - Skrowaczewski: Concerto Nicolo, Concerto for Orchestra (2004) [HDCD]

Gary Graffman is one of America's most outstanding pianists. Concerto Nicolo was written for Graffman, and this is its premiere recording. It brings Graffman, who has appeared with all the major orchestras and conductors, back to the international recording stage! Stanislaw Skrowaczewski is the Minnesota Orchestra's Conductor Laureate, and a composer of international renown. His Concerto for Orchestra was commissioned and premiered by the Minnesota Orchestra. Its revised edition (recorded here) received a Pulitzer Prize nomination. Audiophiles will be thrilled by the Concerto for Orchestra's dynamics and brilliant instrumentation, perfectly suited for "Prof." Johnson's deomnstration-quality HDCD sonics.
