Piano Concerto No. 4 in G*
Our players love working with Imogen and it shows.
A rare rapport between orchestra and soloist is achieved through detailed
rehearsal and plenty of communication. Following last years acclaimed
performances of Beethoven's first two keyboard concerti, we move on to
the tranquil and serene fourth; the audience is almost eavesdropping on
a private conversation between piano and orchestra.
‘A
good deal of eye contact seemed to be the secret behind the outstanding
quality of the Sinfonia's performance. With the orchestra playing like
a true chamber ensemble, displaying a unanimity of purpose blended sound
and breadth of tone you don't often hear even under the best of conductors.'
