Ralph Vaughan Williams: Piano Concerto in C major

RVW began his Piano Concerto in 1926 but did not complete it until 1931. It is dedicated to Harriet Cohen (pictured in this video), who gave the first performance in February 1933, with Adrian Boult conducting the BBC Symphony Orchestra at the Queen's Hall in London. The concerto is in three movements which play without a break. In this performance on the NAXOS label, Ashley Wass is the soloist, with James Judd conducting the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra.
