review of a pianist
Not sure what this is and can't find a translation for it - "concert programme'?
Para muchos aficionados va a ser inevitable asociar el primero de los Conciertos para piano de Chopin con la intérprete española Judith Jáuregui. La pianista vasca destiló la juventud, técnica y emoción que atesora esta **página concertante**. Versión inolvidable, donde el equilibrio se impuso frente a las exageraciones dramáticas con la que a veces se araba la obra.

concertante piece
This is the kind of pretentious term critics use. "Página" just means a piece or composition; a score, if you like. See here for example:
"La obra mozartiana es feliz y sus motivos principales se repiten novedosamente lo que tiene que ver con la longitud de la página."
http://www.mundoclasico.com/ed/documentos/doc-ver.aspx?id=01...
It doesn't mean literally how long the page is, but how long the piece is.
"Concertante" is a technical musical term, so I think it should probably be preserved:
"A concertante part in a piece of music is a part that calls for some element of solo performance, as in a classical concerto. The word is found in the phrase Sinfonia concertante, which is used to indicate an orchestral composition with two or more solo instruments, a title used from the late 18th century onwards."

"Concertante piece" is quite a standard expression. See examples here:

One point to bear in mind here is that the use of the term "concertante" implicitly relates Chopin's first piano concerto, which is after all a romantic concerto, post-Beethoven, to the earlier classical tradition leading up to Mozart, when the solo concerto was in its infancy and just emerging from the sinfonia concertante. This is presumably deliberate, and that is a reason for keeping the term "concertante".
