Hoiby: Piano Concerto No 2, Schubert Variations, Etc Music Hoiby: Piano Concerto No 2, Schubert Variations, Etc Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)   Rachmaninoff is Back! I've known and loved this CD for years, and have bought many additional copies to give to friends who say contemporary classical music is ugly, atonal and a waste of time.
Like Samuel Barber, Lee Hoiby always believed in the primacy of melody, and it shows in his lively, Romantic piano concerto. You'll hear Rachmaninoff as the source for some of the piano technique, but the melodies themselves sound very American.
While the Schubert variations and Violin Sonata are wonderful, it's the "Narrative" that is not to be missed. I consider it one of the greatest piano pieces ever written by an American. Melodic, profound--it's something you'll want to return to again and again.
