The Most Romantic Piano Concerto (2011)-Corentin Boissier

[49410enrique]

thought this would make fun chatter (since there seems to be a big lean towards romanticism on this board vs say classical, baroque, 'modern'/'post modern').

so  give the short three movements a listen (total work is about 9 minutes), then weigh in, are you moved? are you bored (is it too 'derivative'), is it just right (nostaligc nod to Rachmaninoff and who cares if lives in the past, it's honest about what it is and doesn't try to be what it isn't), are you left unsatisfied (maybe you only like 'plinkers' as Thal puts it).  

speaking of Thal I do wonder if he has managed to get this into the concerto preservation society's archives....

It cannot be a Romantic Piano Concerto because it was not composed in the Romantic period... it's Neo-Romantic...

It cannot be a Romantic Piano Concerto because it was not composed in the Romantic period... it's Neo-Romantic...

you're correct, technically by category and period , but stylistically that's what the composer titled the work so i can't very well re-title it, the work is actually called that. not my words, the second it is his description of it as well....

still it's pretty, though interesting the only comment was on the title vs the music, hm oh well. i liked it at least.
