Riccardo Chailly conducts Grieg's Concerto for Piano and Orchestra in A Minor — With Lars Vogt

The internationally acclaimed pianist Lars Vogt, performing together with the Gewandhaus Orchestra Leipzig under the baton of Riccardo Chailly one of the most popular classical works ever written: Edvard Grieg’s Piano Concerto in A Minor.

If you do not know Edvard Grieg, it is enough to inquire on the inheritance which its work left with the offspring: in 1942, Freddy Martin's American orchestra of jazz recorded a swing version of the first movement, arranged by Ray Austin and condensed in 2:30 minutes on a fox-trot rhythm, with Jack Fina at the piano; then in 1997, the first movement is used in Adrian Lyne's movie, Lolita.
