Leroy Anderson (1908-1975) (USA)
Concerto pour piano et orchestre (1953) 2/2
Pianiste : William Tritt
Dir : Erich Kunzel

3- Allegro vivo (6.00)

Avec le « Concerto pour piano et orchestre » (1953) l'Américain Leroy Anderson, né de parents suédois, a composé la plus ambitieuse de ces compositions spirituelles et rafraîchissantes qui proliférèrent dans les années 30 et 40 et que les Anglais, qui en raffolaient, appellent Light Music (Musique légère), genre mineur, passé de mode, mais souvent excellent. En s'essayant au canon classique, quelque peu contraignant, Leroy Anderson, auteur notamment des très célèbres courtes pièces « Sleigh Ride/Promenade en traineau » (1948) et « The Typewriter/ La Machine à écrire » (1950), a composé un concerto pour piano sur lequel Fred Astaire aurait pu danser. Nous sommes d'ailleurs ici très proches de l'art de George Gershwin. On peut aussi écouter sur collectionCB, de Leroy Anderson, dans la série "Jewels of Light Music", vol. 2 : « Clarinet Candy » ; vol. 4 : « The First Day of Spring ».

  • i like original western music ahoyyyyyyyyyyy !!!!! amazing peace.ful of energy.

  • The orchestra I'm in is performing this next month and it's really nice to hear what the final result will be like considering we havn't had a rehearsal with the pianist yet!!

    Well, not quite like this, this is just amazing :)

  • I had no idea one of the most-played light music composers of all time had made this foray into a typically more serious form - which in his hands is more entertaining than serious. Great listening!

  • Nice !

  • beautiful. ^_^

  • Amazing pianist! Crystal clear and beautifully played! William Tritt- Rest in heavenly peace!!

  • Very nice.
