The idea of a piccolo concerto might have seemed far-fetched at the beginning of the 20th century, but numerous composers have now expanded its role as the highest instrument of the orchestra into a true solo voice. With this recording Francesco Viola has brought together four unknown works by Eastern European composers – the Romanian Andreas Baksa; Slovenian composer Uroš Krek; German-Croatian composer Boris Papandopulo; and Hungarian composer Frigyes Hidas whose Oboe Concerto is recorded here in Francesco Viola’s transcription for piccolo. All of these concertos are filled with atmosphere, passion and high spirits.

Works:

•Andreas Baksa: Grande Concerto Piccolo, Op. 54
• Uroš Krek: Piccolo Concertino
• Papandopulo: Piccolo Concertino
• Hidas: Oboe Concerto (Arr. for Piccolo and Orchestra by Francesco Viola)
