Comparable to the likes of Prokofiev, Shoenberg, Bartok and Shostakovich, the piano concertos of Ernst Krenek (1900-1991) are important contributions to twentieth century piano repertoire. The first three piano concertos, featured here, were written between 1923 and 1946. Krenek displays an impressive use of twelve-tone technique. Pianist Mikhail Korzhev is active as an orchestral soloist, solo recitalist, and chamber musician. He has been a faculty member at Beverly Hills International Music Festival since 2008.
