This album continues the successful collaboration of Krystian Zimerman and Sir Simon Rattle; for their DG recording of Brahm's Piano Concerto No. 1 with the Berliner Philharmoniker they received the German Record Critics' Award. Lutoslawski's Piano Concerto was completed in 1988 and is dedicated to Krystian Zimerman, who also first introduced it to Salzburg audiences in the same year, in 1992 DG released a first version of the concerto with Lutoslawski as conductor and the BBC Symphony Orchestra. The piece features extremely virtuosic demands, it's dense pianistic gestures at times recall the piano concertos of Bartók and Prokofiev.
