Despite its seemingly sparse texture, this is a large-scale, virtuosic concerto in an expressive tonal idiom, full of memorable rhythmic detail. It was premiered in 1992, 32 years after its composition, by Konrad Richter and Israel Yinon. Their recording for Bayer Records won an important award by German critics. A further recording by Igor Ardasev and Gerd Albrecht is available on Orfeo.
