The Debut Concerto Album

Saint-Saëns: Piano Concerto No. 2
Stephen Goss: Piano Concerto
Franck: Variations Symphoniques

Signum Classics

Emmanuel Despax (piano), Orpheus Sinfonia, Thomas Carroll (conductor)

For his debut concerto album, Emmanuel Despax recorded 3 concertos live in one concert at the Cadogan Hall in London. This concerto disc, with the Orpheus Sinfonia under Thomas Carroll, features two pillars of the romantic piano repertoire, Saint-Saëns’ ever-popular Piano Concerto No.2 and Franck’s Variations symphoniques. These works are accompanied by the premiere recording of Stephen Goss's Piano Concerto, inspired by the designs of Thomas Heatherwick.

"Emmanuel Despax is a formidable talent, fleet of finger, elegant of phrase and a true keyboard colourist." Gramophone
