Dohnányi was attracting notice as a virtuoso pianist within weeks of his graduation from the Budapest Academy, and at just 20, his performances were drawing critical acclaim from audiences in Berlin and London. But his talents as a composer had not gone unnoticed. Donald Macleod introduces the piece that brought him international recognition - his first piano concerto.
