"Extroverted neoclassical quirks", "flirtation with jazz", "overtly burlesque gestures" -- These are a few descriptions of this piano concerto from the liner notes by Martin Brody.

The work was composed in 1989 and consists of three separate fast-slow-fast movements. It is exciting and lyrical, fully capable of impressing a wider audience while offering some challenges to the more attentive listener.

Performed by The Westchester Philharmonic and Ursula Oppens (piano)
Conducted by Paul Dunkel
