PIANO CONCERTOS Rafał Blechacz | Deutsche Grammophon

On his upcoming album, pianist Rafał Blechacz lays his focus on the expressive power of C minor. Together with the Dresdner Philharmonie under Kent Nagano, he presents Mozart’s Piano Concerto No. 24 in C Minor, K. 491 and Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 3 in C Minor, Op. 37 – two landmark works that reveal the dramatic, introspective and visionary possibilities of the piano concerto. 

The programme is completed by Beethoven’s 32 Variations in C Minor, WoO 80, placing Blechacz both in dialogue with the orchestra and alone at the keyboard. Bringing together major concerto repertoire and solo Beethoven, the album offers a focused musical narrative that connects Mozart and Beethoven through one of classical music’s most expressive tonalities. 

The album is released digitally and on CD on 14 August and is now available for pre-order.
