Dmitri Borisovich Kabalevsky ： Piano Concerto No.2 in g-moll Op.23

Consisting of three movements, the concerto develops clear rhythms and approachable melodies through the interplay between the solo piano and orchestra. The first movement is notable for its driving themes and powerful piano writing. The second carefully unfolds a flowing, songful line, while the third brings the work to an energetic close with lively rhythms and a playful spirit. In performance, precise coordination of the smaller figures, vivid contrasts in dynamics, and careful attention to balance and shared phrasing in exchanges with the orchestra help bring the character of each movement to life.
