Florence Price. The concertos.

Conductor John Jeter has been central to the rediscovery and representation of Florence Price's orchestral works. In this podcast, he discusses with Raymond Bisha his latest recording of her piano concerto and her two violin concertos, the only works she composed in the genre. The early First Violin Concerto, with shades of Tchaikovsky and undertones of the blues, stands in contrast to the Second, written shortly before her death, more dramatic, contemporary and compact. The Piano Concerto in One Movement, which Price herself performed, contains some of her most beautiful music set alongside moments of Romantic bravura.
