Allegro moderato<\/em>\u00a0is beautiful and offers much needed respite before the drama ratchets up again. There\u2019s more space in this concerto for the orchestra to shine too, but Levanon doesn\u2019t yet give us the sense of overall architecture.<\/p> All signs of Lisztian restraint are ditched in a\u00a0Totentanz<\/em>\u00a0that\u2019s almost cartoonish in its devilishness and exhausting in its relentlessness, but Levanon has fun with it. Three solo pieces offer welcome respite at the end of an intense programme.\u00a0Rebecca Franks<\/em><\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n
