World premiere of “Concerto Carioca”

Miguel Kertsman’s new work “Concerto Carioca for 2 Pianos & Percussion” was performed at the Liszt Festival Raiding on June 15 by Eduard Kutrowatz, Johannes Kutrowatz, Josef Gumpinger and Georg Hasibeder for the first time.

“brilliant… the full breadth of orchestral drama with a definite touch of exotica… There is a genetic relation between Maestros Villa-Lobos and Kertsman that, at least in Kertsman”s early period, brings him into the picture as a successor, an extender of a Brazilian orchestral heritage.”
