The Suisse Romande Orchestra and its Music and Artistic Director Jonathan Nott continue their acclaimed series of 20th-century masterpieces on Pentatone, together with star pianist Francesco Piemontesi, presenting piano concertos by Maurice Ravel and Arnold Schoenberg alongside Olivier Messiaen’s Oiseaux exotiques. Each of these composers redefined 20th-century music in a highly personal way, and the works recorded here share a connection to the United States which one would perhaps not expect right away from these European master composers.
