7. Piano Concerto, Op. 20: II. Andante
8. Piano Concerto, Op. 20: III. Allegro moderato
They're joined by pianist Kirill Gerstein in Scriabin's Piano Concerto. This really should be a repertoire piece: it's as accessible as anything by Tchaikovsky or Rachmaninov. Gerstein and Petrenko are outstanding in the delectable central Andante, and the last movement is a blast, Scriabin’s emergent quirkiness heard to striking effect in the final seconds. All good, and LAWO’s sound is characteristically rich and detailed.
