Ginastera - Piano Concerto № 1 (with score) (1961)

Argentinian composer Alberto Ginastera's first piano concerto has four movements:

1. Cadenza e varianti 0:00
2. Scherzo allucinante 8:02
3. Adagissimo 13:27
4. Toccata concertata 18:46

Reviewing a 2016 performance by the pianist Sergio Tiempo and the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Mark Swed of the Los Angeles Times called the concerto "a work of brutalist, magical realism" and wrote, "There are atmospheric and percussive moments when the score sounds slightly too much like Argentine Bartók, but there are also unusual evocations of eerie rain-forest weirdness and great thundering percussive romps. The massive solo part ranges from hauntingly jazzy bits to great bursts of keyboard color." Zachary Wooolfe of The New York Times similarly remarked, "The concerto's chugging rhythms make Ginastera's lively atonal idiom feel accessible, understandable. Splatters of activity in the piano (...) fall over ethereal whispers in the strings."
