Sole recording of the 1996 composition by the Romanian spectral music pioneer released on CD-only by cpo in 1998.

condition (disc/cover): NM / NM 

The Quest, op. 90, is Horațiu Rădulescu's piano concerto: over fifty minutes in a single span, with the piano in the middle of an orchestra that works on spectral sound fields and slow transformations. The soloist is Ortwin Stürmer, Rădulescu's most dedicated pianist, with the Radio-Sinfonie-Orchester Frankfurt under Lothar Zagrosek, recorded live in June 1996.

Issued by cpo in 1998 in co-production with the Hessischer Rundfunk, with a 20-page booklet including notes by Bob Gilmore. A major late work from one of the less charted corners of spectral music.
