He became a staunch opponent of the Soviet Union and even began to shun Russian-style material.\n\n◆Neoclassicism, the Baroque Revival, and the Rise of Popular Music\nHaving severed ties with Russian-style material, Stravinsky encountered the prevailing neoclassical trend, the revival of Baroque music, and the rise of popular music styles.\n\n◆Concert Pianist\nHaving lost much of his fortune—and with his wife ill—Stravinsky began to focus in earnest on his career as a concert pianist, a profession that provided a steady cash income. The two piano concertos, written to showcase his superb technique, are known as particularly outstanding works.\n\n◆ Piano Solo Pieces\nThe five piano solo pieces included on this album are all short and accessible, consisting of rhythm-driven dance music such as tangos, ragtime, polkas, and waltzes.\n\n◆ Performances by Italian Artists\nAndarolo’s performance is both lyrical and lively, yet his rhythm is sharp and dynamic, full of power, refreshing the impression of these works, which can often sound rather subdued. The orchestra accompanying him in the concertos also delivers a bold performance, with a powerful sound that intertwines densely with the piano. An excellent recording with high resolution.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brilliant Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53419251564833,"sku":"5063758966160","price":2090.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/5063758966160.jpg?v=1788227598","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/5063758966160","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
