Dive into the captivating world of classical piano concertos with Oliver Triendl's latest album, featuring the works of Emil von Sauer and Ernst Ansorge. Released on March 7, 2025, under the CapriccioNR label, this collection showcases Triendl's virtuosity and the rich, expressive compositions of these lesser-known but equally brilliant composers.
The album opens with Emil von Sauer's Piano Concerto No. 1 in E Minor, a four-movement masterpiece that spans a range of emotions from the dramatic "Allegro patetico" to the tender "Cavatina. Larghetto amoroso." Each movement is a testament to Sauer's compositional prowess and Triendl's interpretive skill. The second half of the album is dedicated to Ernst Ansorge's Piano Concerto in F Major, Op. 28, composed around six years before his death. This three-movement work is a powerful exploration of the piano concerto form, with the "Molto moderato" and "Sehr heftig" movements showcasing Ansorge's unique voice and Triendl's technical brilliance.
Accompanied by the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin under the direction of Roland Kluttig, Triendl delivers a performance that is both technically impressive and deeply expressive. The album's duration of 1 hour and 3 minutes offers a substantial and satisfying listening experience, making it a valuable addition to any classical music enthusiast's collection. Whether you're a seasoned classical aficionado or a newcomer to the genre, Oliver Triendl's interpretation of these concertos is sure to captivate and inspire.
