Unreleased (as of yet...) Live performances:


I gave the American Premiere of an unusual and fairly unknown Piano Concerto of the Belgian composer: Marcel Poot (1901-1988). His music is primarily known by wind and brass players, although he has written some very lovely string and piano music as well.


I have been involved with the unearthing of his piano music for a few years now and am working on the world premiere of a CD of some of his piano music.

The piano concerto (1959) is equally interesting and was written as a test piece for the 1960 Queen Elisabeth International Piano Competition in Brussel.

CHAMBER MUSIC
JOAQUIN TURINA-PIANO QUARTET OP. 67

NEIL GALANTER 
with MEMBERS OF THE LOS ANGELES PHILHARMONIC
Picture
I played a very interesting Piano Quartet (Op. 67) by the Spanish composer Joaquin Turina (1882-1949) with members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic. The Quartet was written in the late 1920's and is infrequently performed.



Here are the second and third (Final) movements of the Quartet: 

II: Vivo: A rondo type movement which brings back some elements of the 1st movement in thematic transformation. 


III: Andante - Allegretto - Allegro molto
