Søren Rastogi: Paul von Klenau's Piano Concerto

Søren Rastogi has recorded Paul von Klenau's Piano Concerto with Singapore Symphony Orchestra. In this video, he plays the main theme of the first movement, demonstrating Klenau's unique blend of atonal melodies with Romantic harmonisation.

"Klenau's musical idiom is both innovative and traditional. By letting the harmonies follow the atonal twelve-tone melody, we get a music that mixes the basic harmonic colours like a kaleidoscope. New and surprising constellations are constantly being formed, in a tonal language that is both recognisable and completely unique to the composer", says @sorenrastogi.

"It has been incredibly exciting for me to work with such a virtuoso and complex work, which constantly instists on seeking a simple tonal language. It's wonderful to play – and hopefully also to listen to."

The album Concertos · Symphony No. 8 will be released on Friday 12 May. Pre-save via link in bio.
