When Andreas Haefliger conceived this unusual combination of concertos it was with the aim of putting into perspective three pieces, each a unique and highly expressive highlight from the composers\x92 output. That Maurice Ravel\x92s Concerto for the Left Hand and B\xe9la Bart\xf3k\x92s Third Piano Concerto fulfilled the requirements was a given: towards the end of his life Bart\xf3k wrote his most lyrically expressive concerto while Ravel, inspired by the qualities of the left hand register, wrote a piece full of dark yearning and grotesquely fauvistic dances. The third work was more of a gamble, being a newly commissioned and not yet written concerto. The risk was a calculated one, however, given the stellar reputation of the composer Dieter Ammann, as well as Haefliger\x92s personal acquaintance with him. But as Haefliger himself remarks: \x91Little could have prepared me for the exceptional work I was to receive: The Piano Concerto \x96 Gran Toccata. Keeping tradition close by as an ally in the layering of harmony and rhythm, it explodes into futuristic visions in an extremely personal language and, through its kaleidoscopic colours and pianistic virtuosity, reinvents the genre for the 21st century.\x92 The concerto was premiered at the 2019 BBC Proms. On all three occasions, he has been partnered by Susanna M\xe4lkki, chief conductor of the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra which lends Haefliger eminent support in all three works.The Piano Concerto (Gran Toccata)
