John Corigliano, an indifferent pianist himself, composed little piano music; all of it, including the Piano Concerto of 1968, fits on a single CD. The solo piano works were very nicely recorded some years ago by Ursula Oppens, but the Piano Concerto, highly eclectic in spirit (it includes everything from serialist passages to those that sound like Ravel, and it suggested as well as anything else of the time the way the winds were blowing), belongs with the rest and is included here in a crisp performance by pianist Philip Edward Fisher and the Albany Symphony Orchestra under conductor David Alan Miller. The solo pieces are more in the nature of experiments than major Corigliano works, but several have the combination of rigor and general appearance that is this important composer's trademark. Probably the most popular of them is the Fantasia on an Ostinato, in which the slow movement material of Beethoven's Symphony No. 7 in A major, Op. 92, gradually coalesces out of the titular ostinato over 13 minutes (part of the piece is aleatoric). The pieces are in a variety of idioms, but all have the quality of responding intelligently to the circumstances of their composition. Prelude for Paul was written for biotech CEO Paul Sekhri, who has a passage from Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 2 in C minor, Op. 18, tattooed on his arm; the work quotes that passage. Corigliano fans will want this release.
