Karl Weigl – Piano Concerto for the Left Hand & Violin Concerto (CD Album)

UPC: 845221052328

Overview

This 2015 Capriccio release presents two rarely heard concertos by Karl Weigl (1881–1949): the virtuosic Piano Concerto for the Left Hand and Orchestra in E ♭ major (1924), and the lyrical Violin Concerto in D major (1928). Austrian pianist and conductor Florian Krumpöck champions the left‑hand concerto with commanding technique and expressive nuance, while violinist David Frühwirth delivers the concerto’s soaring lines. Backed by the Norddeutsche Philharmonie Rostock under Manfred Hermann Lehner and Krumpöck, these works showcase Weigl’s rich late‑Romantic voice in a pristine digital recording co‑produced with Deutschlandradio Kultur.
