"This splendidly engineered disc is a crown jewel both in Hyperion's Romantic Piano Concerto series and in Hamelin's standard-setting discography. Bravo!"
(10/10 ClassicsToday)
These two works are undoubtedly the greatest of the forgotten concertos yet to make their appearance on our Romantic Piano Concerto series. Both were written by hugely successful virtuoso pianists who were also composers, and both had a major place in the nineteenth-century repertoire. Marc-André's startling virtuosity creates an adrenalin-fuelled excitement which is guaranteed to involve even the most casual listener.
