Dedicated to Francis Poulenc, Vittorio Rieti's First Piano Concerto formed part of his early success in
Paris during the 1920s, the work's high spirits reflecting Rieti's recent marriage and the birth of his
son Fabio. The Second Piano Concerto started out as a harpsichord concerto for Wanda Landowska
but was later recast. The Third Piano Concerto is notable for its deeply felt central Andantino, while
the Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra is exuberant with cinematic themes. All of these works
feature witty passages for orchestral soloists in dialogue with the piano, imbued with Rieti's original
and unpredictable style.
