Viktor Ullmann, concerto pour piano
Œuvre très intéressante, en même temps moderne et « classique », très rythmique. Viktor Ullmann a été déporté et assassiné à Auschwitz.

A recent recital in New York City by the Dover Quartet offered an unusual program. It included wonderful renditions of Romantic works by Felix #Mendelssohn and Robert #Schumann, but what made it special was the presence on the program of quartets by #Viktor_Ullmann and #Szymon_Laks. Ullmann and Laks are among the “forgotten composers” whose careers were ended or derailed by the Nazi Holocaust, and who are too slowly being rediscovered today.
