Hilding Rosenberg - Piano Concerto No.1 (1930)

Mov.I: Allegro energico 00:00
Mov.II: Adagio espressivo 10:06

Pianist: Mats Widlund
Orchestra: Sveriges Radios Symfoniorkester
Conductor: Petter Sundkvist

Rosenberg composed his first piano concerto in 1930 but never finished it since he was unsure about its structure. The doubts seem in particular to have been regarding the balance between the piano and orchestra. Rosenberg did leave some sketches of a finale, a Allegro energico.

The concerto was played for the first time in 25 January 1992.
