Howard Shelley Ulster Orchestra – Aloys Schmitt: Piano Concertos Nos. 1 & 2 etc. (Hyperion Romantic Piano Concerto 84) [CD]

Description

Composer and conductor, pianist and pedagogue: Aloys Schmitt was respected by his peers and largely forgotten by posterity. As so often in this series, the three works recorded here will have listeners questioning that posthumous neglect.rr

“Pianist and orchestra present these works in excellent performances, darkly dramatic and glitteringly energetic by turns and it is to be hoped that a later volume will feature Schmitt’s other concertos” – MusicWeb International
